Secret military bases inadvertently exposed by Russian satellite map company By Sam Webb | Fox News Secret military bases exposed by Russian satellite map A Russian map company has inadvertently revealed secret foreign military bases — by blurring them out. Yandex Maps, Russia's answer to Google Maps, obscured the locations of 300 sites – some of them top secret nuclear facilities – in Israel and Turkey. But by doing so the company confirmed their locations, as well as their exact size and layout. Among the bases inadvertently unveiled were surface-to-air missile sites and nuclear storage sites, according to a report by the Federation of American Scientists (FAS). The buildings include airfields, ports, bunkers, storage sites, bases, barracks, nuclear facilities and random buildings. Some were known already — but many were previously a secret. The FAS' Matt Korda wrote: “This blurring is almost certainly the result of requests from both Israel and Turkey; it seems highly unlikely that a Russian company would undertake such a time-consuming task of its own volition. “Fortunately, this has had the unintended effect of revealing the location and exact perimeter of every significant military facility within both countries, if one is obsessive curious enough to sift through the entire map looking for blurry patches. “By complying with requests to selectively obscure military facilities, the mapping service has actually revealed their precise locations, perimeters, and potential function to anyone curious enough to find them all.” Among the blurred sites are two NATO facilities: Allied Land Command (LANDCOM) in Izmir, and Incirlik Air Base, which hosts US B61 nuclear gravity bombs. Camp Glilot, north of Tel Aviv, the home of Unit 8200, the signal intelligence and code deciphering arm of the Israeli Defence Forces is also one of the sites revealed. It is believed to intercept communications from across Africa and the Middle East. Online mapping services such as Google have been blurring sensitive locations on behalf of governments for years. In France, for example, the government asked Google to blur prisons after a criminal planned a successful escape from one involving drones, smoke bombs and a stolen helicopter. Sometimes satellite map providers reduce the resolution of entire areas to ensure a secret facility is not picked out. U.S. federal law prohibits U.S.-based map services from showing the whole of Israel in any greater detail than a two-meter resolution. Yandex did not return a request for comment. https://www.foxnews.com/tech/secret...ntly-exposed-by-russian-satellite-map-company
You guys are having way too much fun with this. I was going to ask Maris if he had a typo in his subject line, but you guys all beat me to it - only better. BNM
I just got an A+ in my Russian 101 class at PCC. So far, I am not confused. I heard it gets a lot harder though.
That's how they get you. You start eating Borscht in 201 and once you get to 301 it's the Gulag for you young buck.
Thanks for the warning comrad, but I'm not that young I'm more than twice the age of most of the other students. In fact I took French at PCC back in the late 90's before most of my classmates were even born. The professor and one other student are older than me though.

Here's some genuine Russian Collusion: Eliot Spitzer sneaked his $5G-a-night Russian escort into his home in suitcase, she claims By Lukas Mikelionis | Fox News In this Sept. 10, 2013, file photo, former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer delivers his concession speech at his election night party after losing the Democratic primary race for New York City comptroller in New York. (AP) A Russian former escort has claimed disgraced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer used to smuggle her into his apartment in a suitcase. “He used to sneak me into his Fifth Avenue apartment in a black suitcase … when his wife was away,’’ Svetlana Travis Zakharova told The New York Post in an interview published on Thursday. “My knees would be up by my face. When the doorman would ask if he could help, Eliot would say, ‘No, thanks,’” she added, noting that she was sneaked in this way at least 15 times. The woman first became known in 2016 after she accused Spitzer of choking her during one of the sex sessions and said he threatened to kill her. But Zakharova’s lawyer Joseph Murray is now asking Manhattan US Attorney Geoffrey Berman to probe Spitzer for alleged “improprieties” in his efforts to evade the law, according to the Post. She said she first met Spitzer in 2010, just two years after he had to resign from the governorship in disgrace following revelations that he frequently used prostitutes. “When I first met him, he bragged how rich he was. But I didn’t believe him because he had holes in his underwear,” she said. Spitzer often complained about his other girlfriend and his then-wife Silda Spitzer, she said. “He told me about problems with his wife. She complained about his drinking. She bought a dog without telling him,” she said. As revenge, Spitzer brought Zakharova to the apartment, breaking the wife’s “family only” rule. “He used to take me upstate to the farm,” the Russian woman said. “He cooked for me, omelets, and he would put a potato in the microwave. In this March 12, 2008, file photo, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer announces his resignation amid a prostitution scandal as his wife Silda stands by at the governor’s office in New York.

(AP Photo/Stephen Chernin, File) The former escort said Spitzer was a “sexual deviant” and became a regular of hers because his wife and girlfriend wouldn’t “do things.” He paid her up to $5,000 a night and was seeing here about four times a week. In the bedroom, Zakharova says Spitzer would “tie me up,” call her names and say “I’m going to kill you.” According to her, the disgraced politician lashed out against her after she refused to have sex with him. “You f------ b----! You piece of s---! And then you f------ destroyed my life!” the woman claims Spitzer said. “You know what’s going to happen to you? You’re going to be f–king dead.” https://www.foxnews.com/us/eliot-sp...n-escort-into-his-home-in-suitcase-she-claims
