🔴 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 Last year, we've been able to unearth the infrastructure of the FSB's 16th Centre, combining #OSINT techniques and photos of old medals. We replicated this method to explore the Information Operations Troops (#VIO) of #Russia’s military intelligence service (#GRU).

🏅 We have gathered 118 photos from specialised websites and forums. 🗺️ We have concluded that the VIO is composed of at least 15 units across Russia. 🔎 These units are divided into three specialities: encryption/cryptoanalysis, computer network operations (CNO), and psychological operations.

Our visuals below provide you with a first glance at our findings, with examples of units featuring a comprehensive description of the VIO.
