Many moons ago I had a very bitter debate with some team Russia elements wanajijua… hata waliniblock out of hurt burn, anguish and anger. :D:D:D
I told them that almost all militaries on earth just like ordinary civilians apply ordinary U.S. computer software and hardware even in special operation computers including pale Russia. Yes Russia. Nikaongezea that UNTIL VERY RECENTLY IN 2018 hata nuke football ya Putin ilikuwa inatumia MS. Windows but they have opted for a new open source Linux variant…
Weh, niliguza waya ya stima hio siku!!! :D:D:D
Niliambiwa Russia has NEVER and can NEVER EVER touch that American chieth. Ati Russia is independent and has always been smart and independent and they have always had their own O.S. and microchips… blah, blah,blah…
Na kama nataka amani niwache ku blaspheme jina ya mzito Putin hofyo hofyo, associating him with substandard rubbish. :D:D
For obvious reasons I could not post any link to prove my assertations juu ingeitwa FAKE NEWS American chieth papo hapo. Anyway, jana nilikumbuka hio debate. And the funny thing is just that week in 2018, DW TV did a documentary about the German Defence forces and how they are worried that every single component including their critical launch codes operate in a Windows environment!!
When Microsoft lobbyists visit the German defence ministry they often tender for a top down approach. Yaani they offer a whole solution suite to the military i.e. secured servers for use by the Generals all the way from the top down to the office cleaner ordering for detergent just like in an ordinary company. The Germans in that documentary were worried that their military is addicted to Microsoft and Google and the narrator said it is the same story in most of Europe!!
Anyway to cut a long story short this is the article ningewekea Team Russia wajuaji hio siku. It’s from a renowned Russian newspaper called IZVESTIA. A very old Soviet paper. Hii sio gutter press na wala sio CNN ama BBC. It was in Russian but Google converted to English so a few spelling errors ni kawaida.

As they told Izvestia at the Ministry of Defense, a fundamental decision to transfer all the computers of the military department to Russian software has already been made. From 2018, the Ministry of Defense will receive the first Astra Linux packages for testing in the military.
According to Izvestia, the two main directorates of the Ministry of Defense - communications and information technology development - are responsible for implementing operating systems. If the new OS will meet the requirements of the military, it will be installed on all computers in the department. It will become the main “OSes” for automated control systems and workstations, server and airborne equipment of military equipment.
This information to “Izvestia” was confirmed in JSC “Scientific-Production Association RusBITech”.
“The key feature of Astra Linux Special Edition is a unique information protection system,” said Dmitry Donskoy, deputy director of the company. - A graphical interface has been developed for the OS. “OS” is fully compatible with modern Russian-made computers. It works with high-tech domestic Elbrus, Baikal-T1 and Komdiv processors. They are the “heart” of the latest generation of supercomputers.
In the Russian office of Microsoft declined to comment.

Military laptops will no longer complete with sledgehammers
Russia has developed a new generation of highly protected combat gadgets
For several years, Astra Linux has been used in automated control systems by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. It is based on the information system of the National Center for Defense Management of the Russian Federation. The Russian OS is already used today in existing models of weapons and military equipment and in a number of promising developments. It can also run on ARM microprocessors used in tablet computers and smartphones.
The bundled OS includes the LibreOffice office application. For secure information exchange, the “Parchment” electronic document management system is used. It is possible to install the Panorama geoinformation application for creating and editing digital maps and city plans. Such popular software products as the 1C accounting system, Kaspersky antiviruses and Dr. antiviruses are compatible with this OS. Web.
The general director of Basalt SPO, the developer of the Russian ALT operating system, Alexey Smirnov, in an interview with Izvestia, praised Astra Linux.
“This is an extremely stable program that supports various import and domestic hardware platforms,” Aleksey Smirnov explained. - Talk about a complete replacement of foreign operating systems to Russian ones has been going on for quite some time. Now, in connection with the sanctions in all federal bodies, it has been decided to move rapidly to domestic software. Without exaggeration, it is a matter of national security. The security of the Russian OS in any case will be higher than that of a foreign one. After all, there is much more technical capacity to test domestic development. Such a replacement will protect the computers of the military from outside interference.
Earlier, the Pentagon also announced plans to switch to a Linux-based operating system. This was explained by security considerations. The decision was made after the hackers hacked into the US Air Force unmanned aerial vehicle control system using Windows.
