A rough guide to Russian spies:

⬛️GRU: military intel/Spetsnaz. Specializes in assassinations & sabotage
⬛️SVR: foreign intel service. Specializes in recruitment and traditional espionage
⬛️FSB: internal secret service, but has a foreign division specializing in post-Soviet space

AI can scan oceans of data, but it still can’t replace a human source whispering what a dictator really plans. HUMINT survives because motives, fear, betrayal, and intent are still human. #CIA #HUMINT #AI #Intelligence #espionage #spycraft
