Air defense will be easier to work: hackers have broken the post of Russian officer involved in rocket strokes

In the letters of Vladimir Kasatkin there were many documents that reveal methods of work and problems of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Ukrainian hackers from the team "Kiber Resistance" broke the mail of Lieutenant Colonel Volodymyr Kasatkin - Head of the Department of Combat use of the Russian military unit 41520, based on the Severery Aerodrome in Ivanovo.

Volunteers of the Informnapalm international intelligence community have studied letters and presented the most interesting information in their investigation. Researchers have long been collecting data on the officers of the Center for Combat use and retraining of the flight warehouse at the North Airrodrom, where the Russians have placed aircraft of long-range radar detection and guidance A-50U, which help firing Ukraine with rockets.

Russian troops use such aircraft to detect air and surface purposes, to guide fighter and shock aircraft on air, land and maritime purposes, can also serve as an air command point. This time, Vladimir Kasatkin was born in 1977, who was responsible for the preparation of combat use. InformNapalm found the passport data of the lieutenant colonel, as well as a certificate dated 2021, according to which he served in the military unit No. 41520.

They also found that Vladimir Kasatkin had wife Irina and son Maxim, showed their passports. The hackers got a phone book of the military, it found the numbers of operational regular team points of the airfields of Savasleik, Krymsk, Lipetsk, Rostov. In 2017, Kasatkin served in Syria, where he was detained by military police. In a state of alcohol intoxication, he was obscene to his colleague because of "hatred of aviation and contempt for pilots.

" Many letters containing reports, orders and other military documents were found in Vladimir Kasatkin. In particular, the researchers have shown materials concerning the change of state and replacement of the Center, as well as data on the preparation of the A-100 complexes designed to replace the Soviet A-50 aircraft. As for the latter, information on the work of communication, monitoring and fixing systems, simulators for the preparation of the A-50 and IL-22 crew.

No less interest is the "combat training courses" of the Armed Forces, which indicate the number of flight hours required for the assignment of qualification pilots, as well as techniques that show images with interfaces of Russian systems for guidance and support of aircraft. Such materials show how the Russians start A-50, how much time they spend from the moment of return of the order to take off the board, which is the speed of their response and what problems they face.

Analysts were interested in the order to work out measures to prevent offenses among servicemen in a temporarily occupied Donetsk together with the so -called "GAI DNR".

It is unclearly unclear how the officer is connected with the Donetsk region, however, according to InformNapalm, correspondence indicates the direct involvement of Russia in the Donbass war since 2014, since Russian officers of different levels and units have been very closely woven into the military and military management system terrorist formations in the region.

Analysts promise to pass the information received to law enforcement agencies that are engaged in the fixation of war crimes so that Lieutenant Colonel Kasatkin is held accountable for the future tribunal. Not all can be published now, but informnapalm has hinted that the letters from his mail are compromising other Russian officers, some of them are likely to be relevant to the Belarusian Magules Air Force, from where planes for blows in Ukraine take off. "Born killer-will not fly.

We will be sad for the presentations and reports of Lieutenant Colonel Kasatkin on the DRSO A50U. And to make it easier for our air defense to work-we will publish them. Machules hello,"-commented the group "Cyber ​​Resistance" in her Telegram-channel. Earlier, Ukrainian hackers revealed the officers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation involved in the shelling of Mariupol.
