This series of military information security posters is making the rounds in the Russian segment of the Internet, urging servicemen to be careful with current technology and social media.
The posters have nothing with the Russian Defense Ministry. The series is a fan art made by Eugeny Miroshnichenko. However, it is rather interesting.

Russian segment of the Internet is already pissed off by the second poster, since it shows a tank being attacked by a surface-to-air missile.
Well maby the guy dosent know for what it is used for.
The fact that someone, anyone, even felt the need to do this is a sign of poor discipline in the ranks!
This posters are funny. quote from the above article “The posters have nothing with the Russian Defense Ministry. The series is a fan art made by Eugeny Miroshnichenko.” but they do look funny being a parody of soviet army posters from 50s.
they even translated some of them in rhyme like in the originals.
nice job : )
These posters are pure OPSEC for noobs :) Positive stuff
Haha those are pretty awesome. Reminds me about soviet postures.
The guy who made this fan art deserves a week in Crimea with a prostitute of his choice, all expenses paid by Russian Republic. These posters are excellent regardless some inaccuracies regarding proper use of weapon systems. They should be modified if necessary to be factually correct and utilized.
There was an American Navy sailor jailed for taking selfies in a nuclear submarine. He’s asking mercy from Trump currently.
Better yet, I hope the Americans modify these posters with American looking soldiers and utilize them though it will never happen. Again, I tip my hat to this artist!
