Still blinking in wonder at this story about a Russian sub-commander who fired off a bunch of cruise missiles at Ukrainian playgrounds and apartment blocks, before happily heading out for multiple runs which he repeatedly logged on his jogging app. He was gunned down in the streets of the southern Russian city of Krasnodar.
Baza, a Russian Telegram channel with links to the security services, said the killer could have tracked Cpt Rzhitsky's movements in Krasnodar on the exercise app Strava, where he posted details of his regular jogging route and how long he took to complete it.
I don't know how accurate this is, but apparently the Ukrainian chief of intelligence liked his posts?? If it's true that's some next level expert trolling. Slava Ukraini.
If memory serves me right the boys and girls in 'Stan were forbidden to use Strava and likeminded apps. As entertainment consisted of running in circles around the camp, certain bearded gentlemen could pinpoint "secret" camps and surprise those with a 122mm rocket or two.
Strava's default is to hide the beginning/end of runs/rides, because obvs that's where people live most of the time. This guy must have been regular as clockwork, then if they got him midway through his run based on his strava data.
Given even my department is using a private company to collect open source data from apps for suspected criminal activities, (contrary to objections from some of us) I am not suprised to find less than pleasant individuals such as murderers, smugglers, terrorist/freedom fighters employ them.

Strava is life and sometimes death. I hope the assassin stopped his Garmin and saved the activity.
Tempted to find all his activities and flag them
