Central Intelligence Agency Top Secret - B3 Security Clearance Required Intelligence Report: Operation Watchdog 15APR24 Introduction: This document contains a verbatim transcript relayed through secure channels by [NAME REDACTED], codename "Fortuna," detailing a conversation between members of DPRL leadership on April 15th, 2024 aswell as a detailed analysis thereof. Location: DPRL Directorate Headquarters, Kaliningrad Participants: [REDACTED], "Fortuna" General Ludmil Kozlov, Head of DPRL Armed Forces Yevgeniy Petrov, Member of the Supreme Council Maksimilian Tukhachevsky, Head of DPRL Intelligence Transcript: Tukhachevsky: "...and I assure you, there’s no concrete evidence of sabotage. The preliminary report indicates a malfunction. The mechanics are inexperienced with that model of aircraft, typically handling Soviet-era helicopters. This seems more like a technical failure driven by incompetence. Ultimately he became a victim of his own vanity." Kozlov: "Nonsense! The flight recorder data shows a clogged fuel line leading to a fatal engine failure. This is a classic sign of sabotage - those expletive Americans and their ROL lapdogs! We can't afford to sit back. We need to retaliate swiftly and proportionally. I suggest we use our special forces to execute our own sabotage missions. This will send a message that they can’t toy with us." Tukhachevsky: "We can't jump to conclusions without the full report. It could easily have been a maintenance issue leading to the clogged line. Our supply lines for spare parts have been stretched thin, which led to non OEM parts being used for replacements - further compounding the issue. Acting now without evidence could backfire." Petrov: "Backfire? We look weak with every hour we delay. The people will think we're either incompetent or afraid of the ROL. This is about more than a faulty helicopter; it’s about control. If we don’t retaliate immediately, we risk chaos internally, not just politically but militarily. Strong action isn't a choice—it's a necessity! This is our time once and for all to set the record straight. Comrades, we need to seize this opportunity and restore the Soviet Union to it's former glory. This is the time to decide our fate." Tukhachevsky: "Strong action based on speculation is dangerous. If we miscalculate—" Petrov: "We can't afford to appear indecisive! If this was sabotage—and just like Comrade Kozlov pointed out: it most probably was— any hesitation will embolden the ROL and the US. Even if it wasn’t, they need to believe that we are willing to crush them at the slightest provocation. It's the only way to maintain our grip on power. The Supreme Council won't tolerate weakness. I won't tolerate it." Kozlov: "I agree with Petrov. We strike, now, while the fire is still hot. We'll send them a clear message that any attack - real or suspected, will be met with a proportional response." Petrov: "No, with overwhelming force." [Fortuna enters with tea.] Fortuna: "I’ve brought tea for the gentlemen." Verified and authenticated by Sarah Miller, Field Agent, Warsaw Station Source Criticism for "Fortuna": Reliability of Information: Source's Position: [Name Redacted] "Fortuna" is a secretary, which generally implies a supportive role with limited direct influence on decision-making processes. While her position provides her access to sensitive discussions and documents, her involvement in the conversation is primarily passive, with her role limited to administrative support rather than active participation in policy or strategic decisions. Potential Bias: As a secretary, [Name Redacted] might be more of a witness to the interactions among higher-level officials rather than an active participant. Her translations and relayed information should be scrutinized for any potential biases or omissions. She might also be inclined to provide a sanitized or biased account based on her relation and perception of her superiors or her own position within the DPRL. Accuracy and Completeness: Context of Information: The transcript reveals internal disagreements and strategic considerations among DPRL officials, but the conversation may be selectively reported or interpreted. "Fortuna"s role in this context suggests she might be presenting a snapshot of a larger, more complex situation. The completeness of the information should be evaluated in light of her role as a non-decision-making participant. Verification: It is crucial to cross-reference the details provided in this transcript with other intelligence sources to verify accuracy. Given the sensitive nature of the discussion, there is a possibility of incomplete or selectively presented information. Implications: Strategic Interpretation: The insights provided by "Fortuna" offer a glimpse into the internal deliberations of DPRL officials but should be weighed against the broader intelligence picture. Her account may highlight internal tensions and disagreements but might not fully capture the underlying motives or potential agendas of the participants. Conclusion: The information relayed by "Fortuna" provides valuable context but must be corroborated with additional intelligence to form a comprehensive assessment. Her role as a secretary limits her direct influence but offers crucial observational insights that should be carefully analyzed and verified. Fortuna remains the Agency's most reliable and valuable asset within the DPLR, which is notoriously hard to infiltrate. Preliminary Psychological Profiles: General Ludmil Kozlov: Profile: Kozlov exhibits characteristics typical of a highly assertive and ambitious military leader. His reaction to the incident suggests a readiness to pursue aggressive strategies and a strong belief in punitive measures as a means to assert authority. Kozlov's language indicates a penchant for decisiveness and a lack of tolerance for ambiguity. His desire to retaliate reflects a mindset oriented towards confrontation and retribution, which could be driven by personal or professional insecurities, or a desire to strengthen his position within the DPRL hierarchy. Motivation: Maintaining and enhancing his influence, demonstrating strength, and possibly deflecting attention from internal issues or failures. Yevgeniy Petrov: Profile: Petrov displays characteristics of a staunch nationalist and unwavering hardliner, advocating for aggressive measures to safeguard the DPRL's stability and influence. He is focused on asserting DPRL dominance, willing to escalate tensions if it ensures internal cohesion and deters any notion of vulnerability. Petrov's rhetoric is more impulsive than Kozlov's and is marked by a strategic, long-term view of how sustained aggression could cement the DPRL's power. His insistence on immediate retaliation reflects a belief in strength through force and a readiness to escalate conflict to maintain control. Motivation: Preserving the unity of the DPRL by demonstrating a firm stance against both internal dissent and external adversaries. Petrov is motivated by a desire to ensure the DPRL remains a cohesive, unchallengeable force, willing to advocate for war with the ROL to eliminate vulnerabilities and bolster his influence within the Supreme Council. His political views hinge on the resurgence of the DPRL as a new soviet style superpower. Maksimilian Tukhachevsky: Profile: Tukhacevsky's cautious and analytical approach suggests he is a methodical and detail-oriented intelligence officer. His reluctance to immediately attribute the incident to sabotage reflects a commitment to thorough investigation and an aversion to premature conclusions. Tukhachevsky's emphasis on technical explanations and maintenance issues indicates a strong adherence to evidence-based decision-making. His profile suggests a preference for careful analysis and a potential resistance to politically motivated interpretations of events. Motivation: Upholding the integrity of intelligence and investigative processes, and ensuring accurate assessments to prevent misguided actions. Analysis: It remains unclear why both engines failed at the same time or why the pilots were not able to perform an autorotation. ROL Intelligence has through backchannels categorically denied any involvement in the possible aircraft sabotage. There is no further intelligence gathered through Operation Watchdog to support ROL participation. It is therefore much more likely that the crash was caused by improper maintenance of the aircraft. Precipitated by both the mechanics unfamiliarity with the aircraft and the difficult sourcing of spare parts due to imposed sanctions. The helicopter crash may be leveraged by pro-unification factions within the DPRL to destabilize the fragile ceasefire with the ROL. An escalation of violence is to be anticipated. Threat Assesment: IMMINENT Civil War: The power vacuum created by Dragomirovs death could lead to greater factionalism within the DPRL leadership ultimately leading to civil war. War with the ROL: To mantain inner stability and prevent factionalism within the DPRL it is posible that DPRL leadership may choose to blame the ROL for the crash. Seeking to escalate the conflict back into a state of war. Executive Summary: It is crucial in both scenarios to keep a close eye on the DPRL's nuclear arsenal through Operation Watchdog and to track which faction within the DPRL leadership controls it. If needed, intervention might be necessary to prevent it from falling into the hands of dangerous individuals or bad actors. David Webb Analyst, Eastern Europe Desk End of Document

Ember 1 Assaulter pretty please

Holy shit there's a name I haven't heard in a while lol Congratulations on the marriage Whitby! Glad to hear things are looking good. Whereabouts are you? MENA is a pretty big region. Any recommendations for tourist/vacation destinations? I retired from the unit years ago and just rejoined a couple weeks ago after seeing one of Harts' videos (the one with the oil platform - so good). Transferred from aviation to JTAC and really having a blast (sometimes literally) so far. As far as IRL goes I finished my bachelors degree and got a corporate job in a completely unrelated field (apparently history/philosophy isn't applicable to most jobs - who knew! ). Been working my way up the corporate ladder to some effect though. After the last 3 years focussing on work - I'm now trying to focus back on the more important parts of life like friends and family - also part of the reason I'm back. Also looking at travelling more, now that my paycheck allows for it - hence my question above.

lol Great article Falconer!
