The Great SAM Hunt of 2022; Or The Value of Divergent Thought

In 2022, with the War In Ukraine raging, a document appeared online that claimed to reveal the locations of Russian Surface-to-Air Missile systems operating in Ukraine. Like any intelligence team worth their salt we didn't take it at face value and we tried to validate the leak as best we could. This process took us on a journey!

This journey took three months and spanned a wide array of disciplines in Intelligence, including IMINT, ELINT, SOCMINT and more. I want to share the failure analysis I conducted, and the lessons that you can learn from what my team went through at the time, in particular, the value of Divergent Thought.

In February, we unfortunately reached a stage where we could see these impacts with the War in Ukraine. Yet we haven't seen the sky falling down? Why? Where are the Cyber Attacks? And where is the Cyber War we were promised?
