Six-hour global social network paralysis & mdash; & nbsp; Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp & mdash; forces us to think about national digital security and critically evaluate the digitization of military affairs. Many political scientists and military experts have come to this conclusion.

Senator Alexei Pushkov On his Telegram channel, which evaluated yesterday's failure of social networks, he wrote: “ The only significance of this incident for us is that we must create independent platforms and not rely on the global one. And not just for political reasons. & # 39; & # 39;
According to him, the main victims in this situation are & mdash; owners of IT giants like Michael Zuckerberg. “ Now it's nonsense that Facebook is & nbsp; is & # 39; basic & # 39; system! Really? The first necessity for Zuckerberg & mdash; & nbsp; is certain & raquo; & mdash; & nbsp; wrote Pushkov.
In return, a well-known military expert, editor-in-chief of the Arsenal homeland magazine; Viktor Murakhovsky insisted that he see what happened yesterday in global IT communications as an obvious problem for those who rely solely on the digitization of military assets in military matters.
“ We will project yesterday's situation on control systems for drones and ground combat robots, add pepper to the suppression of satellite navigation systems and radio channels, “ Murakhovsky wrote on his telegram channel. & mdash; & nbsp; Let's delete the EMP pulse (electromagnetic radiation. & Mdash; & nbsp; “ MK & # 39; & # 39;) on computers and routers. & # 39; preserves only “ flags, flashlights, paper topographic maps, magnetic compass, field telephone TA-57 & # 39; & # 39; & mdash; & nbsp; resources known since the Great Patriotic War.
Given the introduction of artificial intelligence in military affairs and the rapid development of electronic warfare (EW), it is difficult to disagree with the expert's conclusion. . Complexes can make you deaf and & # 39; blind & # 39; not only high-precision missiles filled with radio electronics, but also aircraft, drones and warships. So it's probably too early to archive binoculars, signal flags and Morse code.
