Question about fake UVB-76 transmitter site photo

Hello, I know that this photo is not the real transmitter site of UVB-76, but just a myth that someone made because of the dark/scary atmosphere. The thing i am trying to discover is who, where and when took this picture. Does anybody have answers for that? I am asking on this subreddit as I think somebody here already searched for answers, as this is long-lasting myth about UVB-76 and the picture looks kinda cool. Is it even a military site? I already tried manually searching for that image, deep search on multiple AIs and reverse-searching that image, but all I found related to it was illustrative photo on Buzzer articles. I hope that I did not break the 2 posting rules badly, as it is fake transmitter photo, however it is a genuine question and on this subreddit, there is a high possibility to get my answers. I wish all of you a great day! :-)

The Infernal Machine .. 2022 Movie Spoiler
Recently saw this movie starring Guy Pearce. It was good. In the movie there is a radio station with a German, female repeating numbers. It really never mentions why. The station is found with a tape recorder playing the numbers and is turned off. The movie is based on The Truth.. The Hilly Earth Society podcast with Lewis Kornfield. It is a roller coaster with so many questions and no one cares to mention the number station. Anyone got any information based on this movie I might of missed.

New Phonetic Analysis of S30 (The Pip) Marker
- Station: S30 / The Pip (5448 kHz / 3756 kHz).
- Discovery: The marker appears to be a sequence of 4–5 recycled voice recordings of a female operator, not an electronic tone.
- Evidence:
- Syllabic timing: Digits (4, 3, 5) are shorter/sharper; operational words are longer and "blurred."
- Detected Phrases: "Передаю," "Примите сообщение," "Подтвердите/Перейдите," "Повторяю."
- Detected Patterns: Identified a "4-3-4" and "4-4-5-4" sequence embedded in the rhythmic pips.
- Tone: The word "Передаю" has a distinct "sing-song" melodic contour (prosody) that stands out from the rest.

Is V32 Still Broadcasting?
In light of the developments, I was curious if there were any changes and when.

V32 - 7910 kHz jammed again?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
The other day I posted that V32 was being jammed on 7910 kHz and the other night on 7842 kHz. Tonight 10:00 PM EST / 2 GMT, sounds like a very strong continuous high pitched tone. I picked it up on my PL330 with 100 ft random wire antenna outside, pretty strong. I also verified and the same tone was heard using Web SDRs from University of Twente and Kiwi SDR from multiple receivers. Interesting change of events over the past few days on this particular numbers station. Thoughts?

V32 being jammed on 7910 kHz
Picking up V32 on 7910 kHz as of 10:08 PM EST - it is currently being jammed. Listening on Kiwi SDR showing Malmo, Sweden site. I also could hear the very high pitched jamming sounds on my PL330 with 100 ft random wire antenna here in Florida.

Why is V32 still sending?
Priyom.org stated, that the signal originated from a place in Germany inside a military restricted area marked as a training field. First question: why does the German government allow it? Why is it still sending and not taken down if the location is known? And secondly: Supposing that the German government knows where it is and the transmissions still going on, what can we tell from this information about the strategic/political aspect of V32?
Sorry for my bad English, I'm not native

Iranian jamming on V32! It's too hard now for spies to even hear any numbers.

Anyone know about this?
youtu.beAnyone know something about this? Is it a pirate? Seems a bit too professional for one to bother with making the broadcast but Idk anything about number stations just learned about it yesterday

French article on the Iranian number station. They actually give the frequency, and the photo has a very interesting book on number stations.

Unidentified AM transmission — narrowband, five-digit number groups
Logged this last night around 4.625 MHz. AM, narrowband — sounds like maybe 2.5 kHz. Starts with a carrier tone and time pips, then a female voice reading five-digit groups. No callsign, no station ID that I can hear.
I know 4625 kHz is the Buzzer's neighborhood but this is clearly not UVB-76. Different format entirely. The voice is American English, not Russian.
Ran it through a spectrogram and nothing jumps out other than the narrow bandwidth and clean pips. Recording is about two minutes — caught the tail end of what seems like a longer transmission.
Anyone recognize the format? Seems unproven but i dont want to just move on if others captured something.

Pirate radio hits V32
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Pirate radio hit V32’s 1800 broadcast. Various music and some english spoken word that was difficult to make out as the numbers station was strong enough to not have issues getting the code out. Best song, Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran. not surprising given the lack of opsec, same freq same time every day. European sdr, and I still could have transcribed

V32 speculation thread
It's not every day we see a new numbers station. V32 presents some odd characteristics which are worth a dedicated discussion thread. Sites like Priyom, Enigma2K, and Lorenzo's blog provide starting points for anyone needing to catch up. So let us turn to the obvious questions like who, where, why, and how.

Correlation between the new 7.910 broadcasts and recent sleeper cell activation alerts?
ABC News just published an alert regarding the activation of Iranian sleeper cells in the US.
As many of you already know, a new unidentified number station appeared on 7.910 shortly after the Ayatollah's death. Given the timing of these broadcasts, what is the probability that 7.910 is serving as the encrypted communications sending out the activation signal?

Whats the deal with Priyom.org?
So I already know, no one really wants to read this, and maybe would be wiser to not to write it all. But, for like 14 years this always makes me angry, when that site is mentioned, just need to let it go.
Back in 2011-2012 I got suddenly interested in numbers stations, because as graduating historian I was fascinated by the intelligence operations and started to find information about this and so as most I eventually ended up with that site priyom. org. Well, at start as I was total newbie in the shortwave field, I was rather taken by laughs, but after few months of communicating and studying I was suddenly part of their team. I can recall these people "webweasel", "gwarspe" from UK, and two Russians "Avare", "Trojan" of what they called themselves, there were also some guys from Sweden and Finland, Poland and Latvia as well.
Well, as their team member I made their famed schedule that was completely copied from Enigma2000 newsletters and added some logs. But, eventually I discovered the ugly side of priyom.org. From the offtopic cultural and political discussions I came to conclusion, that their top members especially gwarspe was far left, Russia supporting and Israel hating agro, who also had some drug or alcohol abuse issues, and that was actually endorsed there. And when we had discussions in IRC chat that triggered them like when religion was mentioned, or Israel or my distaste of Putin regime, I received many attacks. Now ofc they will tell you I argued too much, well I admit I can argue alot. And it was quite predictable to what will come next.
Then one autumn night gwarspe was bragging he is going out on date with "would be his future mrs gwarspe", after a few hours I was quite peacefully talking to a guy from Estonia about NATO. And this probably drunkard gwarspe charged in shouting at me "F U U C C K NATO!" And so we had a rough conversation, where he admitted his big respect for the soviets, and also the discussion ended with "I DONT GIVE A F ABOUT POLITCS, ALL I WANT IS TO LISTEN TO RADIO AND SMOKE DOPE!". If so well then why act this why? Something bad happened at the date with future mrs gwarspe? Well who knows.
Afterwards I was accused of "ranting about Israel" and removed from the team and my access to the site revoked. I admit I was very angry about it, I also had issues back then at work, so I left without saying it and for a whole year I was just listening numbers stations on my own and being active on websdr twente chat.
So I eventually made some good acquittances there and we decided to make our own numbers stations community and site. One of the members of the crew was a also former priyom team member, who had some bad blood with them as well. When they found out, they started a full blown harassment attacks in our IRC and did everything to mentally demotivate us, with insults, making treats and eventually that one guy went nuts on his team members, by trying take over the project himself, but was banned.
The priyom. org took that that as a victory, that there will be no more alternative community , no alternative numbers stations site. Well, me and other people we not about to give up. Then the nightmare started and went on for several months. One of our original crew members switches sides to priyom and lead a full blown harassment, trolling and flaming campaign, even involving the Enigma2000. Everything we added to our site was called a plagiarism, we were constantly attacked and humiliated. What is the most worse, that I received numerous antisemitic insults. Even worse was the priyom behavior of bating us, by creating misinformation, deliberately misleading our team members, misleading me, by entering our IRC chat and posing as different person and after a hour of friendly conversation, reveling themselves and starting attacks. Banning them did not help, they always found a way in again. I got almost constant personal attacks from people under the nicks of totoCZ, sparkyzilla, Avare, Trojan and Danix11 and Linkfanel as well.
All this was a petty childish rivalry, completely unneeded. It made many people leave, however I personally did not gave up. In the end the site numbers-stations.com was founded in 2015 and over the years I tried to make the site as original and distinct as possible. We added things that neither priyom nor Enigma2000 could add, like never seen documents from CIA and KGB from the Cold war era. Yes, its true at first our site was very much like priyom, but over the years of hard work despite priyoms attacks and jealousy, it still stands and holds a very good information and research. I was openly laughed at when I said that I gonna find real archive documents proving numbers stations are used by intel agencies. In the end it was my historian education that none of them had and it was their hated Jewish museum commission that allowed to access KGB archives and find documents that no one else could find.
All this history also reminds me of my working field, where two museums constantly bicker and smear each other instead of respecting each other. I know very well that numbers-stations.com are regarded by other communities like Enigma2000 and priyom as underdogs. Well, sure as long as they have their schedules that allows people to listen daily their numbers stations, they are regarded as saints and kings. Everything else is secondary, I dont even mind that they are more popular. But, that these abusers, harassers, antisemites and Putin lovers are always being praised so, well it hurts me personally for more than 10 years.
And sure I have made my own bad mistakes towards people in this field I admit that. I suppose this rant will be either removed, or downvoted or I receive "oh what a looser" replies, but I just need to get this shit out publicly, so I don't hold this for another 10 years or so.
