“Just discovered”. Goes on to show example from 2018… Although it’s possible some countries haven’t been paying much attention or lack legal means to rectify these situations.

Lol, so we know where they are, who to wiretap, how many, when they’re doing what…
All while russia is paying for this.
I say raise rent and send the profits to Ukrain.

all you need is to have hundreds of drones hidden around the bases and when the war starts just destroy all sitting jets etc. this is an op strat i wonder how it’s going to be patched?

Check out the recently built Russian Orthodox Church right next to Västerås airport. How that slipped through the rigorous building regulations is beyond me.

This has been part of spy craft for decades, it’s nothing new and I would fully expect the security services to have a procedure for back end checking property purchases within a certain radius of any military assets (known or unknown). I suspect the difference here is that it has been made publicly known that we are fully aware of what the Russian fronts are doing.

i feel like anytime something like this comes up the intelligence sector/agencies must be facepalming because now the press informed everybody publicly that it’s happening and somebody from the government has to answer to this

Baltic countries already started repossessing any Russian owned properties near infrastructure. Great idea…

These are old stuff. Heard rumors from a couple locals in Airisto that they’ve seen the place, and they put veneer cutout soldiers on their piers to scare locals off. Concrete piers btw.
Those guys were found out… but there are still many dubious Russians owning a lot of land in suspiciously convenient places.

I mean I’m all for anti-discrimination laws and all, but we’re in the middle of a hybrid war. There need to be laws preventing land purchases from ANY russian nationals as long as putin is alive. As long as this russian state is alive.
