A nice operation!
Well, the items are obsolete junk, but, “…and communications equipment that may contain data on the movements and plans of the Russian military,” could be a treasure trove. Info about the enemy’s positions, movements, and especially plans are always vital.
That cell phone is anything but smart. I had similar to that in the late 90s.
And just think, it’s from their worst enemy, South Korea. 😁
It’s probably a russian copy of a chinese copy. 😂
Can’t get any better than that. 😂
