When open-source intelligence beats official war reporting

Original: OSINT, the frontline and OPSEC: when open-source information gets ahead of official reporting

The discussion focuses on the tension between OSINT's speed and operational security, as publicly available information can expose troop movements and tactics that armed forces would prefer to keep secret, raising questions about how states should adapt their communications on the front line.
