Russian Military Launches Cybertraining Program for Youth

The Russian military launched a new cybersecurity training program for young military cadets at a St. Petersburg military academy on Tuesday, the Defense Ministry was quoted as saying by the RIA Novosti news agency.

“The unique educational institution was established at the Military Academy of Communications in accordance with a decision of the defense minister,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement Tuesday, RIA Novosti reported.

Cadets enrolled in the program will study cybersecurity-related topics, and the school will offer specialized classes focusing on network technology, multimedia hardware, software and robotics.

The announcement coincided with Russia's nationwide back to school day, and 40 cadets enrolling in courses at the St. Petersburg Military Academy of Communications have been selected to take part in a brand new information technology program as part of a wider effort to educate Russia's next-generation military personnel in cyber-operations.

Russia and China have been accused in recent months of sponsoring a wave of serious cyber-attacks against the U.S. government — a suspicion that has prompted some U.S. officials to propose additional sanctions against Moscow, Reuters reported Tuesday.

Russia was singled out in early August as the leading suspect in a sophisticated attack on the unclassified portion of the e-mail network used by the U.S. military's Joint Staff in the Pentagon, and in April U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter blamed Russia for a similar attack on military networks.

Russian espionage and cybersecurity expert Andrei Soldatov explained that the Russian military is trailing far behind the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) in cyber-operations and training personnel to conduct them.

“The military was not the main player. Russian security services took the lead — first it was an agency known as FAPSI, the Russian analogue to the U.S. National Security Agency or British GCHQ. Later, FAPSI was partly absorbed by the FSB,” Soldatov said.

The Russian Defense Ministry has only in the last two or three years began to focus on strengthening national cybersecurity — which is intimately tied to the study of cyberwar — and Russia is working to formulate a national cyberstrategy, RIA reported.

The 'Clown Hat': Ukraine's Latest Piece of Military Equipment From Israel



The removable helmet covering, known as a mitznefet in Hebrew, admittedly resembles a shower cap or a chef's hat but is said to be a potent piece of military gear. The flopping fabric is intended to obscure the familiar round shape of a soldier's helmet and protect against the light reflecting off the helmet's surface.

The Israeli Defense Forces introduced the mitznefet in 1994 but the covering is not really used elsewhere.

The use of the term could be traced back to the biblical Book of Exodus. It was employed to describe a turban worn by the Jewish high priests in the Temple of Jerusalem. The term is often mistranslated as a "clown's hat" but its root meaning is believed to come from the verb to wrap.

Ukraine's military will receive 20 mitznefet coverings in the near future, Zvezda asserted, citing Tzvi Arieli of the Kiev Jewish community.

The Ukrainian government has been persistently pushing Western countries to provide military aid, including offensive weapons, to suppress self-defense forces in the Donbass region. The US has already delivered Humvees, lightweight counter-mortar radar units, medical kits, night-vision goggles and Kevlar vests to Kiev.

so........receiving 20 helmet condoms are news worthy?
I get what it does, but i dont think an aid package of 20 of them is significant considering how many boots are on the ground

With a piece of camo cloth, elastic band & sewing machine I think some random dude could probably make one in literally 10 minutes. Israelis meanwhile would probably charge the Ukrainians $50 USD a piece. Jews, amirite?

probably just for show, but does it have any actual application for dismantling the whole jeep and reassemble them again?

the jeep look like most part is connected or link to other by mean of simple screw and latches, does it compromise the integrity of the jeep when i goes off road or in high speed?

Reports from defensenews that the selection for the RMAF MRCA will likely be made in 2018.

Le Drian Talks Rafale but Not Mistral in Malaysia

Year 2018 is our Election year, almost impossible will make big Military procurement, unless BN win it.
decision MRCA i expected made in 2016, than will take 1 year to calm down the politic/people hu-ha.
if no made in 2016 than have to wait after election in 2018. if PR win, than MRCA will further more delay after 2020 or cancel.

if PR win we can buy 24 fighters with the same cost it took BN gomen to procure 18 fighters

pandai pon

application?err no.its just to show the simplicity and engineering marvel of the jeep.back in the day,the factories would ship a jeep in a small crate and soldiers would assemble it themselves

Nope,there are hundreds of those latches on a jeep.it is pretty secure

24 fighters with no missile.

i don't think so .... if you learn there philosophy. they have to cut a lot budget first to show public them they can save money
if want cheaper price, it can be done like no TOT/IP so can get cheaper price,
but than no improvement local industry also means no job for local people and no improve GDP.

My guess they will straight away abolish the military

well, to be fair.
a military exhibition like LIMA and DSA needs an expert to help organise

lol then french pakai ape?
