What is the OSINT Bunker?
The OSINT Bunker is a defence and security-based podcast aimed at expanding people’s knowledge of the geopolitical landscape using open-source intelligence. It fills a niche that most people (most people reading this anyway) have for up-to-date, accurate and balanced information on ongoing conflicts.
What is OSINT? For those who don’t know, OSINT stands for open-source intelligence, which refers to any information gathered from public sources about an organisation, event, individual etc. In practice, that tends to mean information found on the internet, but technically any public information falls into the category of OSINT, whether it’s books or reports in a public library, articles in a newspaper or statements in a press release.
Episodes typically cover the UK and international defence matters.

Helps if you actually add the link for Military assets in the first place it is
Thanks for sharing all of that Farouk. Very interesting to see, even if the numbers aren’t totally accurate, it gives a good impression at the very least. With all the routes into the city being destroyed, it helps ebb the flow of supplies coming in, but hopefully there’s still a route for the occupiers to flee through. Otherwise if the Russians become trapped, their only options are to fight or surrender… and if they choose to fight, Ukr is going to take some heavy losses getting them out. Best thing would be to force a surrender. But given the time… Read more »
Top job cheers!
