Senators approved the right of the Central Bank and Sberbank to suppress the operation of enemy UAVs.

The Federation Council approved a law granting the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and Sberbank the authority to independently stop the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles. This is done without approval or assistance from relevant authorities.

Employees of the Central Bank and Rosinkas can now jam, intercept control signals or destroy drones, underwater vehicles and ground unmanned vehicles that pose a threat to protected facilities.

The Bank of Russia itself will determine the list of officials authorized to make such decisions. Sberbank has received similar powers. The exact procedure and the list of responsible officials will be approved by the government.

The law is a logical continuation of the process begun in August 2023, when such rights were already granted to employees of departmental security services, the Russian National Guard, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Security Service, the Federal Protective Service, and other law enforcement agencies. Now, financial giants have joined the ranks.

UAVs Attacks on critical infrastructure, including the banking and financial systems, are increasingly common. Waiting for the police or military to arrive is risky. A drone might beat them to it.

The right to stop fraud is not only an opportunity but also a responsibility. Bank employees and cash collectors will have to learn to distinguish between dangerous and civilian devices and make decisions in seconds.

Amendments have also been made to the Law on Postal Service. Specialized mail organizations will also be able to protect themselves from drones. The law comes into force on the day of its official publication.

What's the news on the corvette? I'm absolutely blown away by the news today.

[Prussak25]

What about the corvette? Did I miss something?

[Karelian]

Regarding the corvette, watch the news from St. Petersburg (Kronstadt). Drones are flying there as if they were at home.

[your vsr 66-67]

Our esteemed deputies will soon pass a law that the country's population will have to protect itself!
So what? A weight off my shoulders, and go on with my "fight"! Calm down...

A disaster for the Kremlin authorities, the General Staff and the Supreme Commander personally. They're showing complete helplessness. One might wonder, why are they even needed in this lineup?

[Per se.]

Is Yeltsin's work finished?

[Severok]

Why would there be any question about their usefulness? They're incapable of stopping the West from croaking at Russia, and the West isn't just croaking, it's directly killing our fellow citizens! Therefore, the question of their suitability for their positions is overdue, not just a question of the moment!

[knn54]

- the country's population will have to defend itself!
“The rescue of drowning people is the work of the drowning people themselves.”
And also, for every drone shot down, the said banks should give the citizen involved a decent bonus.

Will Sberbank have its own army with machine guns and armored vehicles!?

No, bankers will sit on the roof of the bank and shoot down incoming drones with wads of old-style dollars.

[Botanologist]

The corvette is in the dock, so it won't sink. However, there were two hits, so things are not going well.

[Terenin]

The Central Bank of the Russian Federation and Sberbank have the right to independently stop the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles. Without approval, without waiting for assistance from relevant authorities.

Mda How can I get permission to build my house near Sberbank?

[alexboguslavski]

The Corvette is a complete mess.

Nabiullina and Gref will shoot down drones? Unexpected!

Will Nabiullina and Gref shoot down drones?

They will fine them and reduce the interest rate on their deposits!

[alexoff]

They sell loans at 20% per annum, drones get caught right away

[Mazunga]

then credit cards there and 60% is quite kosher))

I remember how our finance, personnel, and logistics people would go to Chechnya for rotations and three-day inspections, and return with combat experience status. Our deployments were 180 days long.

[NIKN]

Now financial giants have joined them.

Well, who better than them to siphon off money from weapons programs? They used to tread lightly on the scams, but now they're going all-out. I don't remember a savings bank being attacked by drones.

[Gpn27]

The building of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation's main southern office in Sevastopol was attacked, and documents and cash were stored there. Bank employees removed items from safes before firefighters arrived, amid smoke and flames, to prevent them from burning. It's better to have the right to shoot down a drone than to have such an adventure.

[Terenin]

Quote from Gpn27

property was taken out of safes, in smoke and fire,

It seems like safes in banks should be fireproof.
If the papers burn off them, then they are not safes, but metal cabinets.

[Wratch]

It's better to have air defense! And those menacing bankers with guns are unlikely to be able to shoot down an aircraft-type drone during an attack.

[Per se.]

Central Bank and Rosinkas employees can now jam, intercept control signals, or destroy drones, underwater vehicles, and unmanned ground vehicles that pose a threat to protected facilities.

Maybe they should also create their own air defense system? What's the point of having a Ministry of Defense? Isn't it their sacred duty to shoot down enemy drones and anything else that attacks Russian territory? Holy shit, this is "a drowning man's salvation must be done by himself." What's next, with such brilliant solutions?

[Aken]

Defense Ministry generals have completely different competencies. More pleasant ones.

[your vsr 66-67]

Quote from Aken

The generals of the Ministry of Defense have completely different competence..

It would be more correct impotence.

[Aken]

In some places there is impotence, and in others, on the contrary, hyperactivity.

[Uncle lee]

Special mail organizations will also be able to defend themselves against drones.

Mail will be sent by registered letters and parcels... Parcels will be sent only by rockets.

[Nastia makarova]

Now, increasingly wealthy enterprises and structures have begun to create and purchase air defense systems; recruitment of volunteers has been ongoing for several months

[Per se.]

Quote: Nastia Makarova

The recruitment of volunteers has been ongoing for several months

Who will these snipers be more dangerous for: drones or the windows of neighboring high-rise buildings?

[Nastia makarova]

Just like Pvo Mo, everyone makes mistakes.

[Per se.]

Quote: Nastia Makarova

everyone makes mistakes

They do, but amateurs do more of them.

[VlK]

What next, with such brilliant solutions?

And then, obviously, as with Covid, decisions are made by local authorities based on local conditions, and therefore, responsibility rests entirely with them. Someone apparently really liked this management scheme.

[ximkim]

Yes ...
The further into the forest...

[former soldier]

The Federation Council approved a law granting the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and Sberbank the authority to independently stop the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles. This is done without approval or assistance from relevant authorities.

Honestly, I don't understand anything about any permission to shoot down drones. Were the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and Sberbank previously prohibited from shooting down drones? No way. Didn't their components have Anlissian engravings?

[Aken]

Sberbank, for example, could block ATMs. And the Central Bank could raise VAT. This would have an immediate effect. The raids would stop. There would simply be nothing left to bomb.

[Nastia makarova]

Before they didn't have anything, but now they'll have air defense.

[samarin1969]

It seems this is only the beginning of the creation of "self-defense forces." It began with civilian governors, who were tasked with frontline defense. If no one addresses the issue of "guarantees of life and safety," then we'll end up licensing partisan units.

[Andy_nsk]

A licensed partisan unit is a private military company. If the Ministry of Defense can't fulfill its responsibilities, then something needs to be done. For example, replace the girls 🤔

[Zoldat_A]

So much is published - you can't keep up...

I have never had any problems with the permitting department, so this is a purely theoretical question.
If, for example, a citizen fires a 12-gauge rifle at a drone from the balcony of a nine-story building, will there be sanctions?
And does it depend on whether he shot it down or not?

The question didn't arise out of nowhere. Our village, not far from the city, is of little interest to many in Ukraine, but they've already flown into the city. Although I don't even have a balcony from which to fire at drones, my neighbors have varying opinions—even to the point of violating storage regulations and keeping a charged vertical-rifle handy, on a hanger in the hallway...

[Ed Mac]

And when will ordinary citizens be able to defend themselves from dogs, drones and other misfortunes?
And if, for example, a plane is shot down by mistake, will there be liability?

[Novel_]

I wonder if the rich kids used to be rude and mean, but now he's made a remark to Naibulina's "granddaughter." The result: a car catches up, a copter/mini-rocket flies out, and you walk past, all polite and obituary-y, like a downed drone.
Or will those "in power" simply shoot the common "cattle" in advance if they haven't done three Ku and five Kyu while the "master of life or his pacifier" is driving by...

[Andy_nsk]

The result is that a car catches up, a copter/mini-rocket flies out of it, and you walk past, all cultured and with an obituary, like a downed drone.

Don't worry. The rich kid's security detail can handle any of us without a missile.

[Belisarius]

In short, "a drowning man's only hope is his own." It's very nice, but the state's monopoly on violence is the fundamental characteristic of the state as such. When it is destroyed or eroded, the state either becomes criminal (power is wielded by a conglomerate of concerns, corporations, clans, gangs, local gangs, etc.) or simply collapses.

[Per se.]

Read what Professor Ostretsov, a nuclear physicist, says, it’s interesting.

[Captain Pushkin]

Something similar happened at the end of the Russian Empire, when they began forming military units based on nationality. Despite the various nationalities they drew upon, only the Jews refused to create units composed solely of Jews.

[APASUS]

Interesting information. So, until now, all there was talk about was the purchase of air defense systems by businesses? You can buy them, but not use them. And judging from this article, only two organizations have received permission.

[solar]

Central Bank and Rosinkas employees can now jam, intercept control signals, or destroy drones, underwater vehicles, and unmanned ground vehicles that pose a threat to protected facilities.

But won't this end with the fact that, due to the lack of coordination between different agencies, they shoot down something that absolutely didn't need to be shot down? :(((

[VlK]

It will definitely end; it can't help but happen. Or they'll simply actively hinder each other's efforts to counteract it. Instead of centralizing control of the defense system, they're deliberately decentralizing and discoordinating it.

[Yamadashi]

It'll be incredibly interesting to see how this is implemented. If a Sberbank anti-aircraft gunner loads a 10-round magazine, he should, in theory, transfer three shells to the Central Bank's mandatory reserve fund?
Our news, taken together, could already be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. We'd certainly beat G.G. Marquez easily...

[24rus]

I can already see the scheme: private air defense specialists come to a commercial enterprise and offer protection – a machine gun on the roof and payment for security.
In case of failure, a drone arrives

[Jacques sekavar]

They mobilized 300 reserve soldiers for the war, increased the army by 300, 30-40 people are volunteering for the army every day, a massive recruitment of reservists is underway to protect regions from drones, private companies have been allowed to purchase weapons, including large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, equipment, and electronic warfare systems to defend against drone attacks, and now banks are being recruited to help defend. This is probably why the EU Ambassador says that "Russia is squeezing out its last remaining strength."

[alexoff]

Every day, 30-40 people voluntarily enlist in the army

It's usually not taken into account here how long a contract isn't renewed after a year. Quite a few of my acquaintances have fled as if scalded from the management there. Well, some people earned money and that's it; after that, it's just a salary.

[AdAstra]

Will they knock them down with high interest rates and credit charges? But seriously, is our state over? Is Makhnovist free-for-all beginning?

[UAZ 452]

Finally, we've found someone who'll fight enemy drones! The air defense forces are doing so-so. But the cash collectors and Sberbank tellers—they're a force to be reckoned with!

[K_4]

Someone take the steering wheel away from the Leopolds already...otherwise, a furry white northern animal on soft paws will come to us all unexpectedly and we won’t have time to bark.

Suddenly?!
IMHO: this vector has been evident for a long time... (((
It seems that this name is HPP.
How else to understand the reforms of recent decades; the COVID-19-induced delegation of responsibilities to regional leaders; the shove-up of the LPR and DPR into the Ukrainian People's Republic; the eight-year media giggling over the "fences" erected by Yatsenyuk (then, suddenly, it turned out they were impenetrable concrete positions...); Minsk, grain, fixed agreements; Taira, the Azovites; the "muddle-making" with Givi, Motorola, and Surovikin; Kursk...
If you remember everything, it becomes creepy.
From the latest: And what do you think of these inspired faces (Golikova, Matvienko, etc.) on Children's Day giving gifts to children who lost their parents (victims) during the Kursk operation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces?
Can you believe their sincerity?!
Do people generally consider themselves cattle?

We'll give them a ruble, a ruble. Go, go. They'll hit the target. The circus is getting more and more fun.

First they armed the Nabiullintsevs, now they'll issue a license to shoot them. What a terrifying organization!

Congratulations to everyone. From now on, any savings bank is a legitimate target for Ukraine. Even a Sberbank ATM.
