An anonymous team of hacker “Joker DPR” claimed that it hacked all military command and control programs used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) with databases on the location of the Ukrainian and Russian Armies. Among them, there is the vaunted US-made Delta military program, which is actively used by the AFU.
Earlier, the Ukrainian media revealed the foreign modern technologies and software used by Ukrainian servicemen which was provided by their US commanders. The Ukrainian serviceman humiliated Russians saying that they are too far from such technologies.
In their turn, the Russians “did not bother to develop their own systems” and hacked those used by their enemy.
“Ukrainian soldiers brag of their programs and laugh at Donetsk soldiers because they use paper maps. I decided to make it clear. While Ukrainians regularly fill their databases with programs donated by their American owners, we don’t even need to invent and install anything, we just use their programs online. It is very convenient and economical. I want to draw attention to the fact that we use that ALL their programs…
I infected every computer that has ever logged into DELTA (and not only) with my virus – my idea. As you all remember, the Joker is an idea. And I also changed the data there a little, rearranged different squares, lozenges and other strange figures. But you will fix it, right? Sometimes it is better to use paper maps.” – the message from Joker reads.
The claims were supported by numerous videos and screenshots showing the software of the US-made DELTA program.

The US command and control program DELTA is considered to one of the best such programs in the world. The chief administrator of this program in Ukraine was Vadim Novikov.
On November 1, the head of the press service of the DPR Daniil Bezsonov confirmed that the DPR military got access to the enemy software.
To be clear, this is a program for command and control in which all data on friendly and enemy troops is provided and is regularly updated, including by the information from intelligence sources. Very useful. The fact that our special services got access to it suggests that we now know everything about the enemy and we know everything that the enemy knows about our forces and means and their deployment, ” Bezsonov said.
The fact that the advanced US military program has been hacked is hard to dispute. However, it may be supposed that as the victory was publicly declared, the US military have managed to fix the problem at least partially. It is unclear for how long the Russian military got access to the enemy data and whether it still has it. Kiev and Washington are yet to comment on the issue.
In August, hackers from the Russian group KillNet announced that the website of the US military industrial corporation Lockheed Martin was hacked. The corporation is involved in the production of HIMARS MLRS supplied to Ukraine. Hackers also managed to gain access to the personal data of candidates for a job at Lockheed Martin.
