00:00Russian warfare is taking a frightening and futuristic turn. A recent report out of the UK

00:06outlines a terrifying new way Russian-backed agents are testing the West's vulnerabilities

00:11for war. This is according to the Financial Times. In 2024, European nations were put through the

00:17paces when DHL packages exploded at logistic hubs in the UK, Poland, and Germany. While this was

00:24thought to be a test and not a full-scale attack, had the explosions happened while the parcels

00:30were in transit, it would have brought down the planes and sown chaos across the whole airline

00:36industry. Around the same time this operation was carried out, multiple break-ins were reported at

00:41water towers and treatment plants in Finland. Authorities said these trespassers were scouting

00:46places they could launch attacks on the country's water supply. Now, those attacks and others like

00:52them are believed to have been carried out by, for lack of a better term, gig workers for Russian

00:58espionage. They put space between the Russian government and the attacks, making it hard to

01:04pin down exactly where they're coming from. Now, luckily for the rest of the world, these agents

01:08seem to be amateurs, and they repeatedly botch their missions for now. And what is scary is that there

01:16seems to be no shortage of people who can be found in the darkest corners of the internet, willing to lend

01:22a hand to Vladimir Putin and his associates to keep trying.
