On Ukraine, got any non twitter suggestions for perspective?

• Suchomimus does a good job covering OSINT in the Russo-Ukraine War; attacks, geolocation, battle damage assessment, etc.
• Oryx catalogues every pictured Russian loss. They are up to 3,200 tanks, 4,300 IFVs of Russian loses already. Every single one has a picture. Click on a few, scroll and scroll and scroll.
• Right here on Lemmy, the [email protected] and [email protected] communities get quite a bit of Russo-Ukraine war coverage.

not familiar with OSINT

Exactly what you said! Open Source INTelegence. Basically people taking publicly available data and using it to confirm attacks. Things like NASA FIRMS data can be used to verify where fires are; and when combined with videos of a fire in the direction of an airfield, for example, can be used to confirm that yes, on this specific date, these parts of an airfield are on fire.
