On Monday, Vladimir Putin ordered Defense Ministry officials to create an “integrated information network connecting reconnaissance and strike assets across various levels of command.” The president said the Russian military already employs more than 6,500 “advanced defense industry developments” and credited the innovations with cutting “task assignment times” among troops almost in half. However, Putin’s initiative got a cool response from Russia’s pro-invasion blogosphere, provoking complaints that military developers have worked at a homegrown integrated information system for decades without success. Meduza summarizes iStories reporting on the story.
