Are The Russians Ramping Up For WWIII?

[burntheships]

I keep seeing this pop up from time to time this year, this article is
recent from a few days ago. Any Ham operators out there hearing this?

Russian military radio traffic is increasing according to a ham radio stations.

Reports of Russian military incursions in US airspace have increased over the last several months as tensions rise over their activities in the Ukraine. Now come reports that Russia may be running their over-the-horizon radar again.


My friend and ham radio operator Matt Vann recorded what it sounded like at his 'shack' in Midland, TX.  He says that it's reminiscent of the Russian Woodpecker days. Also according to Matt, others are picking up Russian military traffic on over twenty channels:

In a IARU statement from July


"We found Russian military traffic on 24 frequencies on our 14 MHz-band including digital and CW emissions. On our 7 MHz-band they used 22 frequencies including digital and CW emissions. The AT3004D on 7032 kHz located at Smolensk was active longer than 3 weeks. The German PTT filed an official complaint. The Russian OTH radar "Contayner" at Nizhny Novgorod was very busy on our 14 MHz-band and caused a lot of interference."

Well, NATO are sending 4, 000 troops into or near by the  Ukraine, and Russia have just began training 100, 000 forces in Western Russia - I think..

I think Russia are also deflecting attention from the fact that they are increasing arms supplies to Syria.  All eyes on Ukraine please.

Basically Russia have drawn a line.  They are not accepting increased Western influence over its long term allies (Ukraine, Syria etc).

The pro-Western Ukrainian government were planning to join the European Union and even NATO.  USA, UK and France are actively seeking to support a new pro Western regimen in Syria.  These are former Soviet Union or close allies of it.  Would we allow Russia to annex Turkey?  Lets face it, The UK won't even hand over the Malvinas/Falklands on the other side of the world.

According to RT's on the ground reporters, the Ukrainian Government are no longer in charge of Kiev, this is the exact opposite of what the western media is currently reporting..

Once the strikes start in Syria, I think we'll see Russia taking firmer action..

I agree with who ever stated it last week..

The 'big one' is currently in motion

[Pimander]

It would not surprise me if the Kiev government has lost its grip on power.  I'm guessing the KGB could remove who they like anyway there.  Russia could take Ukrain in a week should it wish to.  I think they prefer to destabilise and try to make it "legal".

Might want to check in on The Buzzer and monitor activity.

"UVB-76, also known as The Buzzer, is the nickname given by radio listeners to a shortwave radio station that broadcasts on the frequency 4625 kHz. It broadcasts a short, monotonous buzz tone, repeating at a rate of approximately 25 tones per minute, for 24 hours per day. On very rare occasions, the buzzer signal is interrupted and a voice transmission in Russian takes place. It has been active since sometime in the late 1970's or early 1980's, when the first reports were made of a station on this frequency. Its origins have been traced to Russia, but although several theories with varying degrees of plausibility exist, it's actual purpose has never been officially confirmed and remains a source of speculation."

This week I witnessed a curious situation related to Ukraine: two sisters went to the company where I work with a non-working laptop to see if we could get it working again. My boss, as usual, started talking to them and asked them if they were from Romania, and one of them said that they were from Ukraine, to which my boss answered that the situation was not good for Poroshenko, and one of the Ukrainian sisters didn't know who he was (the other one had left by then), my boss had to tell her that he his the president of Ukraine, and her answer was something like "I came from Ukraine 10 years ago and I'm not interested in it".

The buzzer?  Background radiation from high powered microwave transmitters?  I know that does not explain the voice of course.

Ukranians?  That is odd.  Imagine you were living in Ukraine - is it likely that you would not know who the President of Portugal was?

Yes, that was odd, maybe they are part Russians.

One of the things I learned early on was to follow the money even in local political races.  I wasn't sure at first but then I said what is going on and what are some real reasons that all this war is going on all over the world.  All the major nations are caliming what they do is in their national interest.  (Heard that before!)  Then I ran across a youtube channel called Storm Clouds Gathering.  I don't agree with everything this man puts out but I think he pretty well nailed it in this video.  The Geopolitics of WW III.

Got it thanks....

Got it thanks....

Oh, and if you enjoy Storm Clouds Gathering I would also recomened the Youtube Channel 'The Kaspian Report' for all things Geo-political

My thoughts too, or maybe spies.

There are quite a few very interesting questions about the buzzer,
and the OTH radar, also the Russian Woodpecker. I know Z has a
thread or two on The Living Moon.

Here is a very interesting, entertaining video, from Russia with Love.
