An unknown 1974 dogfight over the Aegean

[Almasy]

На 23ти август, 1989, около 2 милиона човека от Латвия, Естония и Литва сформират жива верига през трите държави за да покажат на света желанието им да избягат от СССР и комунизма, който им е донесъл само страдания и бедност. Веригата е била около 600км.

Разказ за живота на бойците от парашутния полк в Пловдив през 80-те

https://www.bgspomen.com/2015/04/80.html

Във връзка със събитията в Полша ни вдигнаха по тревога /1981-1982 година/, но не ни изпратиха. Точно бяхме тръгнали за летището, но в последния момент заповедта се отмени и не излетяхме.

Границата между ФРГ и ГДР - поради факта, че десетилетия в тази полоса не е имало човешка дейност, тя е станала хабитат на много диви животни и птици и днес е със статут природен резерват.

Един от тайните проекти на ЦРУ:

This was a CIA project that was commenced in the 1960s to spy on Russia. They chose a cat for the job, but what they didn’t put into consideration is the fact that cats are hard to train. The cat’s job was to eavesdrop on two men in a park outside the Soviet embassy in Washington, D.C.

The cat was wired up by a veterinary surgeon who implanted a microphone into the ear canal, a small radio transmitter at the base of the skull, and a battery buried in the flesh. It was a complex project that took five years to complete and consumed a whopping $20 million.

The project was closed in 1967 because the cat couldn’t obey directives. They initially believed they could train the cat but they were wrong

"Operation Acoustic Kitty" was a real CIA project in the 1960s aimed at using cats as listening devices to spy on the Soviets. The cats were surgically modified, but the project failed due to the difficulty of training the cats. The first cat released near the Soviet embassy in Washington, D.C. was hit by a taxi and killed, leading to the project's closure in 1967.

The project involved surgically modifying a cat to turn it into a covert listening device. The idea was to train the cat to infiltrate specific targets by allowing it to roam freely near them while transmitting audio recordings back to handlers. The hope was that the cat's inconspicuous nature would make it an ideal espionage tool.

A veterinary surgeon was enlisted to perform the complex surgical procedures on the cat. The microphone was implanted in the cat's ear canal, the transmitter was placed at the base of its skull, and a battery was hidden within its body. The wires were carefully concealed to make them less noticeable.

However, despite years of research, development, and training, Operation Acoustic Kitty turned out to be a major failure. The main problem was the difficulty of training the cat to behave as desired during real-life missions. Cats are notoriously independent and unpredictable animals, making them challenging to control and direct.

The first field test of the project took place in 1966. The cat was released near the Soviet embassy in Washington, D.C., but it was immediately hit by a taxi and killed The project was deemed a technical success in terms of the equipment's functionality, as it was able to transmit sound, but the practicality and feasibility of using cats for such purposes were severely undermined.

Following the costly and unsuccessful mission, the CIA decided to discontinue Operation Acoustic Kitty in 1967. The project's shortcomings and the inherent difficulties in training animals for precise covert operations led the CIA to abandon the idea of using live animals for intelligence gathering.

Operation Acoustic Kitty serves as a peculiar and intriguing footnote in the history of espionage, demonstrating the ambitious and unconventional methods pursued by intelligence agencies during the Cold War era.

Сградата на КГБ в Рига

https://x.com/nickfshort/status/1855220 ... 0vGZQ&s=19

Съмнява ме обаче, че е строена като такава.
Вероятно ватниците са цапцарапнали от някой, стила не прилича много на съвеЦки, образци от който могат да се видят на много места (първата снимка по-долу също е от Рига, втората от Лудж, а третата от мацквата)

Съветските опити за неокласическа архитектура всъщност въобще не са лоши. От сталинските висотки (нещото най-вдясно на тройната снимка) та до Партийният дом в София - всичко щеше да е яко, ако го разглеждахме във "вакум" и се абстрахирахме кой и за какво го е строил.

Алмаси, излагаш се. Някакви кръчмарски приказки, не приличало на еди кво си, значи е еди кво си. Сградата е построена по времето на империята, архитектът е латвиец по националност и е местна разновидност на ар нуво /по-скоро югендщиль -немската разновидност/. А нещата, които показваш са от 30-те до 50-те години и са повлияни от ар деко, което е съвсем различно. Ако искаш руска архитектура, съвременна на тази сграда - ето примерно:

Шо да съ излагам като:

1. Архитекта е латвиец
2. Строена по време на империята

Тоест това, което съм написал, а именно, че не е строена като нова за КГБ и е цапцарапната от ватата в последствие е абсолютно вярно
