The revelation comes almost two months after in early March Biden administration officials divulged to the press the the United States was sharing real-time intelligence with Ukraine. Apparently these efforts have not only greatly expanded at this point, but are possibly resulting in significant battlefield losses for Russia.
The NBC report continues, “It was part of what American officials call a massive and unprecedented intelligence-sharing operation with a non-NATO partner that they say has played a crucial role in Ukraine’s success to date against the larger and better-equipped Russian military.”
Within the very opening days of the invasion, Ukrainian forces had claimed a major battlefield victory in shooting down a Russian Il-76 Candid airlifter which was operating outside of Kiev. While it’s unclear whether the US officials quoted in the NBC report are referring to that specific alleged shootdown incident (the Russian Defense Ministry has tended to chalk up such transport plane downings as mechanical failures as its official line) – it may have resulted in the deaths of dozens or even up to a couple hundred Russian paratroopers.
“Beware of foreign entanglements”
I’m gonna be pissed if half my family dies of radiation poisoning . It takes the kids quicker and harder than old folks.
Ukrainian forces claim to have shot down a Russian Il-76 Candid airlifter.
Ukraine has been claiming quite a lot these past few years.
One of my favs is watching these pro-Ukie’s co-opting Russian footage and claiming them as their own footage… from afar off… of Russians getting their butts kicked. The Russians will post a video, and with hours, or a day or two later… Look at what the glorious Ukraine resistance did!
Early this morning, watched a video of a squeaky clean AZOV commander claiming that the AFU/AZOV were kicking Russia butt from the Mariupol Steel Factory and claiming glorious Ukraine resistance. The fact is, they are contained, surrounded, low on ammo and food, and treating their festering wounds with reused dirty bandages… while holding civilians hostage to deter Russia from just ending them. And NO ONE is coming to save them.
Now, I have no doubt that Globohomo NATO is supplying intel… but they are making it sound as if they are using magic intel to decipher what the Russians are going to do, before the Russians do it.
