Your post answers questions I had about the possible uses of all these antennae and about how Moldova's geography might make it advantageous for Russian spying during the Ukraine war. I'm a bit worried about their apparent ability to attack individuals locally via sound waves or something; hopefully Western intelligence has figured this out despite news stories to the contrary.

(Also brings to my mind my belief ten years ago that Moldova was already completely electronically transparent to Russia because no one could afford any virus anti-programs on their PCs besides kaspersky's "free" one.)

Excellent coverage as usual Dave. Thank you.

As to the number of Russian "Diplomats" and families to removed; - Russian president Putin has been designated as a war crimes criminal with an international arrest warrant, Russia has been internationally designated as a terrorist state, it has violated international law by invading and prosecuting an illegal war of aggression on Ukraine, it is acting pirates ( an international crime) in international waters in the Black Sea, and, directly for Moldova, funded Ilan Shor to over-through the Moldovan government and has illegally hacked into Moldovan government systems... Why does not Moldova call back any of its diplomats from Russia and then expel all Russian "diplomats, families and spies", and shut down the embassy?
