Russian Experts Warn of New Threats from Western Technology
Recent reports from Russian experts have raised alarms about the potential dangers posed by smartphones and other imported technology. Following a series of explosions in Lebanon, experts speculate that these incidents may signify a new form of warfare that could target officials in Russia. The Russian website "News Re" highlighted these concerns, emphasizing the need for preventative measures to protect officials from potential attacks, particularly those involving booby-trapped mobile devices.
The Risks of Imported Technology
Experts suggest that smartphones and other devices imported from Western countries could be compromised by hostile intelligence services. Berendzhiev, a prominent expert in the field, pointed out that all devices arriving in Russia should undergo thorough inspections to detect any hidden threats. He stressed that this process is complex and requires comprehensive checks, as any oversight could lead to catastrophic consequences. "The current circumstances require Russia to develop its domestic production of devices," Berendzhiev stated, advocating for increased safety measures to mitigate these risks.
Urgent Call for Action by Russian Security Council
With the threat level deemed serious, experts are calling for discussions at the Russian Security Council to address the potential dangers of smartphone technology. Physicist Alexander Shirokorad warned that the lithium batteries in smartphones and electric vehicles could pose significant risks, comparing their potential for explosion to that of nuclear weapons. This alarming perspective underscores the urgency for Russia to reassess its technology imports and enhance its domestic capabilities to safeguard against emerging threats.
