We have already \nreferred to it repeatedly, and to the mixture of the purely technical \nfield with the psychological field (dezinformatsiya, spetspropaganda, \nkompromat, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, the US DIA speaks of the <strong>confrontation of Russian information<\/strong>\n (informatsionnoye protivoborstvo, IPb) as the term used by the \nGovernment for the information war conflict, with two major measures: \ntechnical, as a classic CNO, and psychological, as the attempt to \nmanipulate the population in favour of Russian interests ([1]), speaking\n openly of \u201ccyber\u201d PSYOP. The first of these measures would correspond \nto Unit 26165 and the second to Unit 74455.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is very little information available in open sources in \nrelation to Unit 74455; its relationship with the technological field \ncan be confirmed with some scientific references (articles and books). \nFor example, in the journal \u201cInformation Control and Measurement \nSystems\u201d, the name of E.E. Nazarov appears, as a scientist and employee \nof the Military Unit 74455. This identity participated in two articles: \u201c<em>Algorithm to generate type interference based on the rapid evaluation of signal parameters<\/em>\u201d and \u201c<em>Methods\n to estimate the errors in the determination of the coordinates of the \nairborne radar carrier by a spatially distributed RTR system<\/em>\u201c. \nAlthough both titles were translated from Russian using automatic \ntranslation systems (thank you, Google) and may not be entirely correct,\n we can guess that people from this Unit work on topics such as <em>jamming<\/em> (and anti-jamming) signals; in other words, electronic warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reference to this Unit is also made, in particular to Mikhail \nAlekseevich Eremeev as Unit Director and Doctor of Technical Sciences, \nco-author of several books and scientific articles on cryptography; \nwithout knowing whether or not the names and surnames are common, \nsomeone with this same identification is also -or has been- a professor \nin the Department of Special Instruments Technologies of the Moscow \nTechnological University and a member of the Editorial Board of the \npublication \u201cProceedings of the A.F. Mozhaisky Military Space Academy \u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unit is located, as we said before and according to Mueller\u2019s \naccusation, at number 22 Kirova Street, in the Khimki district, Moscow. \nIt\u2019s based in the building known as \u201cThe Tower\u201d, although in some \nreference \u2013 very possibly for administrative purposes, the address of \nthe GRU (the famous \u201cAquarium\u201d) is quoted directly at 76 Khoroshevskoe. \nMueller identifies only three members of the Unit, according to the \nfollowing organization chart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"541\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/lab52.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gru2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lab52.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gru2.png 541w, https:\/\/lab52.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gru2-300x166.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Unit 74455 used the information stolen by Unit 26165 for the benefit \nof Russian interests, according to Mueller\u2019s accusation. In other words,\n it is in charge of \u201ccyber\u201d psychological operations. According to the \nnomenclature of the DIA cited above: it handles the information that \nUnit 26165 steals from its objectives, for which it establishes and \nmaintains a technological infrastructure (profiles in social networks, \nwebsites \u2026) with which to exploit this information. For example, this \nUnit is responsible for the handling of Guccifer 2.0 or DCLeaks \nsockpuppets using false identities, anonymized connections, start-up and\n operation of websites, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>[1] DIA.
