The alarming broadcasts, with cryptic words and buzzing signals, have sparked widespread panic on social media amid growing tensions in Eastern Europe. What does this mysterious radio mean for global security? Watch.
00:00Let me tell you a strange and chilling story from Russia, the so-called Doomsday Radio.
00:05Well, this radio is creating buzz in the security and diplomatic worlds.
00:08Why?
00:09Well, you see, Russia has a mysterious shortwave station.
00:12It's called UVB-76.
00:14It is also known as the Buzzer or Doomsday Radio.
00:17This radio has been broadcasting since the Cold War.
00:20Since the 1970s, this station has emitted a constant buzzing sound.
00:24Some say like a faulty appliance.
00:26But recently, something strange happened.
00:28This station sent out a burst of signals.
00:31Among them, a voice said, Latvia.
00:33Many on social media got alarmed.
00:35Was Russia planning an attack on Latvia?
00:37Or is there more to this story?
00:39Well, the signals included coded words and numbers.
00:42Words like Nantutwek, Last, Bulonskiv, Galvanizer and Draw.
00:46For example, Bulonskiv meant Bolognese, which means the Italian meat sauce.
00:51Remember, Italy is also a NATO member and was one of the organization's 12 founding members.
00:56Other words emitted from the radio included Galvanizer, which is an English term for a worker who coats iron or steel with other metals such as zinc.
01:04Historically, the former Soviet Union was nicknamed the Iron Curtain by Winston Churchill in 1946,
01:10because it deliberately isolated Russia and its satellite countries from the West, like a giant wall of iron dropped across Europe.
01:17The world Nantutwek remains mysterious.
01:20But the world Latvia, in the code, raised concerns.
01:23Why does this matter?
01:24Because Latvia is a NATO member.
01:26And NATO has a promise.
01:28Article 5.
01:29If Russia attacks Latvia, NATO will defend it.
01:32That could trigger a global conflict.
01:34Some fear that this could even lead to nuclear war.
01:37Experts believe that UVB-76 radio is tied to Russia's strategic military command.
01:42Some say it's a secret channel for sending orders.
01:45During crisis, the signals become more frequent, like during the war in Ukraine.
01:50And so, this recent broadcast was unusual, with six messages throughout the day.
01:55What does it mean?
01:56Is Russia threatening Latvia?
01:58Some social media users even asked, can Latvia be erased from the maps?
02:03Has it started?
02:04A clear sign of panic.
02:05The use of this radio station points to a broader tactic.
02:08Russia has been accused of hybrid warfare.
02:11That includes drones, sabotage, cyber attacks and now secret signals.
02:16Across Europe, NATO countries like Poland, Estonia and Denmark have reported drone sightings
02:21and sabotage attempts.
02:23They fear that Russia is working in secret to destabilize.
02:27Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk even hinted at sabotage.
02:30He suspects that Russia was the one who was behind a train explosion over the weekend.
02:35Many countries have detained spies since the Ukraine invasion in 2022.
02:40This radio signal fits into a larger pattern.
02:43Tensions between Russia, Ukraine and NATO are dangerously high.
02:47The doomsday radio is just one piece.
02:49But it raises a serious question.
02:51How close are we to a conflict?
02:53Russia's hybrid warfare has already hit Europe hard.
02:56Drones, sabotage, cyber attacks and now it's rattling nuclear channels.
03:00We'll keep watching this story but for now this mysterious doomsday radio remains active.
03:06It's still emitting its strange cryptic messages.
03:09The world waits wondering what is Russia really planning?
