The order of actions of units on the signals “Drill Alarm” and “Combat Alert”: Outline of the lesson. “On the creation and operation of a warning site and the appointment of its administration Methodology for working out educational issues

BBC Future journalist Zaraya Gorvett I tried to figure out this mystery.

Somewhere in the middle of the isthmus that separates Lake Ladoga and the Gulf of Finland, among lakes and swamps there are rusted iron gates. Behind them are several radio towers and abandoned buildings surrounded by a stone wall. In this ominous-looking place, as the British believe, there was one of the transmitters of an unknown shortwave radio station with the call sign MJB (as Wikipedia notes, since December 28, 2015, the call sign of this mysterious station changed to ZHUOZ. - Note translator).

24 hours a day, 7 days a week - and so over the past 35 years, this station has been broadcasting a monotonous signal - an intermittent buzz. Once or twice a week, a male or female voice reads a meaningless set of words, for example, “zhito”, “textolite”, “fence”. That's all. Anyone tuned to the 4625 kHz frequency can listen to these strange radio broadcasts almost anywhere in the world.

This station seems to be created for lovers of conspiracy theories. For all her fans, she is the Buzzer. In addition, she has at least two more “sisters” - the Pip and the Squeaky Wheel. As many of their listeners admit, it is completely unclear what the point of the programs is. “The signal carries absolutely no information,” says David Stupples, electronic intelligence expert at City University London.

What is it?

As the British suggest, this frequency belongs to the Russian military, although they have never confirmed this. There is no shortage of versions of what the Buzzer is for. Their scope extends from negotiations with nuclear submarines to communication with aliens. One idea is this: this is the so-called “dead man's hand.” If Russia is hit nuclear attack, the signals will stop, and this will act as a trigger for a retaliatory strike. (The “Perimeter” system - or, as it was called in the West, “Dead Hand” - was created in the USSR to ensure that combat orders were transmitted to command posts And launchers missiles in case nuclear war when communication lines may be damaged. - Note translator).

Another theory: the station sends signals to find out how far away the layer of charged particles is. “So that radar detection systems cruise missiles worked successfully, you need to know that,” emphasizes Stupples. But in order to analyze the height of the layer, the signal must have a very specific sound, reminiscent of a car alarm. Nothing like Buzzer.

Interestingly, there was another radio station that was surprisingly similar to Buzzer. Lincolnshire Poacher ran from the mid-1970s to 2008. Like “Buzzer,” it broadcast from an unspecified location, apparently somewhere in Cyprus. Like “Buzzer,” what “Poacher” broadcast sounded strange and creepy. At the beginning of each hour the station played the first two bars of English folk song"Lincolnshire Poacher" After playing the same passage 12 times in a row, the radio station moved on to messages that were read out in a female voice and contained groups of five numbers: “1-2-0-3-6”...

Spying in the toilet

To understand at least a little what all this means, the BBC suggests returning to the 1920s: “Then, after a search in the London office of the ARCOS company (All-Russian Cooperative Joint-Stock Company, a Soviet organization registered in Great Britain for trade between the RSFSR and England), suspected of espionage, the Russians completely changed the way they encrypt messages. They switched to a one-time table system. In this system, the key was randomly generated by the sender and passed only to the recipient. With this method, the messages became practically undecipherable. And here short-wave numbered (numerical) radio stations come onto the scene, broadcasting coded messages consisting of a series of numbers, as it is believed - for intelligence officers working in foreign countries. Britain did it too..."

In London they came up with a brilliant solution. They hung a microphone outside the window and recorded the street noise of Oxford Street: the sounds of honking buses, the screams of a policeman - everything that was completely unique and never repeated in the same order. After that, they translated what was written down into a one-time code.

All this, of course, did not stop those who tried to decipher such messages. During World War II, the British realized that in order to crack the Soviet code, they had to get to the Russian one-time tables. “We suddenly discovered that in their military hospitals in the GDR the Russians are using toilet paper sheets of paper with outdated one-time tables for encryption,” says Anthony Glees, Director of the Center for Security and Intelligence Studies at the University of Buckingham. From that day on, soldiers' toilets became a priority for British agents.

Numbered radio stations were soon broadcasting all over the world. One of them appeared in the biggest spy scandal recent years, when the FBI arrested 11 “canned” illegal agents in the United States, allegedly planted by the Russian SVR. So, according to the FBI, agents received orders from Moscow through coded messages transmitted by a number station on a frequency of 7887 kHz.

Now he even does this North Korea. On April 14, 2017, the host of Pyongyang Radio said something tongue-tied on the air: “I give review papers in elementary lessons information technology in the University distance education for forwarders No. 27". After this, numbers and pages were transmitted (“number 69 on page 823”, “page 957”)... Some may be surprised that number stations are still used today, in the era of the Internet, but they have one very important advantage. You can guess who is transmitting these messages, but it is absolutely impossible to understand to whom they are sent - after all, anyone can listen to them.

"Team 135 Announced"

It is tempting, of course, to conclude that Buzzer is passing orders to Russian intelligence officers around the world. One problem: Buzzer never transmits long strings of numbers. So what is “Buzzer” buzzing about? Many people believe that this radio station is a hybrid. The constant buzzing sound is a marker that seems to say: “This is my frequency, this is my frequency...”, preventing anyone else from using it. And only at the moment of crisis (let’s say, when someone attacked Russia) will “Zhuzhalka” turn into a number station. Then she will transmit orders - both to intelligence networks around the world and military units who are on combat duty in remote corners of the country.

It looks like the Buzzer is already being tested for these purposes, the Air Force suggests. “In 2013, they transmitted something special: “MJB TEAM 135 ANNOUNCED (drill),” which can be considered as a test signal for combat readiness,” says Maris Goldmanis, a radio amateur from the Baltics who constantly monitors the station.

Perhaps this is the answer to the mystery of the Buzzer. And if this is true, then we can only hope that the buzzing will never stop.

“_____” _____________________ 2003

Contract worker Alexander, who himself has experience in selecting recruits, at the request of the editors, wrote about how recruitment takes place young replenishment to various military units.

In connection with the beginning of the next conscription, the editors of the site asked me to write something for the conscripts, so I will share my experience in selecting young recruits. I already have, so this time I’ll just briefly retell the list of things:

1) cheap phone with charger
2) wash accessories
3) I’m going for a day
4) money
5) cigarettes (if you smoke)

After the medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office, if you are found fit, you will be told when to come to the military registration and enlistment office and on that day you will be taken to the regional assembly point. Teams will be formed there to be sent to military units. The assembly point is a security facility; there are military personnel on it who will keep order and will not allow friends and parents in there. There you will undergo another medical examination and wait for assignment to the team. After the medical examination, you will be taken to a waiting room (this is a room with benches and a table), where officers will come and conduct an interview. I recommend maintaining discipline and silence, but I understand perfectly well that I will not achieve anything with this.

During the interview, officers will ask about your family, what you did before being drafted, your desire to serve, your plans for the future, your expectations, your criminal record, your education, and they may ask smart questions. I don’t think it’s worth lying or not telling anything about anything, because, firstly, the officer will have a personal matter, and secondly, any deception will come out. If you don’t want to serve, then it’s better to say so right away.

After the interview, when you are assigned to the team, you will be seated together, and it is better to stick together with your team. The next day you will be given a uniform - this will be your first day as a soldier. From the moment the form is issued, an officer or sergeant will be with your team and will accompany you to the unit. They will answer questions, help with putting things in a duffel bag, and explain how to wear the uniform. From now on, it is better to listen carefully and remember everything that those accompanying your team say. You can find out from them where they will take you, call your parents and tell them about it.

After some time, you will be taken to the station, where you can chat with relatives and friends. If you see your parents and friends, then you don’t need to immediately run to them, wait for the officer’s instructions, then go up to him and tell him that they have come to see you, and try not to go far. I would also advise not to take pictures in military uniform, because in a year you will look at your photos like a university graduate at a first-grader, but here it is as you want.

Then you will be put on a train and you will go to your unit. On the train you should maintain discipline, not disturb the peace of other passengers, and listen to the instructions of the officers. And you don’t need to spend all your money on the train, as it will come in handy later.
