INTELLIGENCE

It has always been about the Intelligence.

From the beginning of the Ukraine conflict the sophisticated electronic systems of the Western military, especially that of America, have been the key element of Ukraine’s ability to resist the Russian forces.  Today, with the American “pause” on providing military support for Ukraine it has become abundantly clear that the issue is not the cessation of weapons from America it is the “real-time intelligence” shared with Ukraine from American “National Assets.”

To make this point, I have quoted from an article I published on THEDURAN back in July, 2022, EYES IN THE SKY.

The effective fire being employed in the Ukraine / NATO Russia conflict is a direct result of “eyes in the sky” by both sides. Each side has used drones extensively to target the enemy for artillery and missile strikes. One drone may be able to target numerous enemy targets for multiple weapon systems to engage. We are watching, as the balance of effective fire has clearly shifted in favor of the Russian forces. While the Ukraine / NATO forces may be able to “see” the Russian targets their ability to deliver effective fire is diminishing.

We are also watching as each side grows in their capability to destroy the drones, either physically or by electronic measures. Blinding the drones will continue to be a major effort in the conflict.

Long range weapons systems, such as missiles, often depend on space-based systems to target the enemy and to provide terminal guidance for the missiles. These systems, which are being used by the Ukraine / NATO forces, depend heavily on American space assets to provide critical information needed to provide effective fire. Russian forces depend on their own space-based systems.

If the United States truly wants to bring an end to this conflict, they should unilaterally refrain from providing any critical intelligence information to Ukraine military forces.  It is time to end this conflict. Yes, America is in a proxy war with Russia and America is losing badly. If this continues it will only get much worse. There has been enough blood shed by both Ukraine and Russia. Those in the West who are continuing to sponsor this war are not yet bleeding on the Ukraine battlefield. That may soon change. When I see the children of Western politicians thrown into the Russian “meat grinder” I am sure the war will end quickly.

People talk about using GPS all the time, forgetting about the EU’s Galileo system. The issue is Starlink, for which the EU really doesn’t have a replacement. But people talk about the EU needing the US’s GPS to provide coordinates for their missiles, completely forgetting the EU has its own system. Galileo (satellite navigation) Wikipedia:Galileo is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) created by the European Union through the European Space Agency (ESA) and operated by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA).[6] It is headquartered in Prague, Czechia,[7] with two ground operations centres in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany (mostly… Read more »
