Articles out - that argue Ukraine's troubles in Kursk started exactly when the US stopped sharing intel.
Well isn't that curious?
As soon as American satellites and spy planes stopped giving Ukraine by-the-minute updates on Russian movements - their soldiers suddenly became unable to defend from big-eared alcoholics from Siberia (as Neuf calls them).
Folks - just a few days without US intel - and Ukraine is losing its pocket in Kursk that it held since last August.
From what's written, the American were really providing the Ukrainian's with eye-watering levels of intel.
1) Americans are able to see in real time when Russian bombers like TU-95s and TU-22s are loaded with cruise missiles and guided bombs. Not even when they take off (which they obviously see), but literally as ground based crews begin wheeling up munitions to an airplane they already see it. This is why Ukraine's air raid sirens worked like clockwork.
2) Americans were able to intercept communications between Russian units down to the tactical level. So they weren't just giving Ukraine warnings like, "within the next week, expect an attack on this direction." Rather, they were able to tell the Ukrainians: "A Russian group of 8 men is moving towards position XYZ, and is expected to begin an assault."
That's the two "new" things I had read about. Everyone knew Americans were providing targeting data. These things were also guessed at. Just wasn't written publicly.
Must be nice to sit in some conference room in Poland, and play a video game of Russians and Ukrainians killing each other over satellite feeds.
