Satellite imagery and analytical work are the final words in the long list of new war equipment authorized by the United States of America last March 16 in favorUkraine.
Although these four words are at the bottom and certainly less impressive than 800 Stinger antiaircraft systems, 6,000 AT4 antitank systems or 20 million shells, that does not mean that they are less important and fundamental. In addition, among the many countries that have taken part in these maxi operations and are participating with their aircraft, there is no shortage ofItaly. In recent days, several senior American officials have commented on this decision to share analysis and images. Scott Berrier, director of DIA, i.e. military espionage, stated during a congressional hearing that the exchange of information with the Ukrainians had taken on “revolutionary and unprecedented traits. Paul Nakasone, head of the Cyber Command and National Security Agency, also told the Corriere della Sera: “In my 35 years of service I have never seen a better collaboration to share what we know: American intelligence observes and reacts quickly to attempts at disinformation”.
White House spokesman Jen Psaki said in early March that its defense systems had continuously shared with the Ukrainian government any detailed information it could obtain. “This information allowed them to understand Russian plans and develop a military response.”
To tell the truth, but the cooperation between the United States of America and Ukraine begins in 2015. And for several months, American secret agents suspected what happened next. Of course, when the conflict began, the constant flow of information was supplemented by electronic aerial reconnaissance and satellites that collected Russian signals, monitored them remotely and intercepted Russian army communications. It cannot be ruled out that the information from Washington led to some attacks and resistance. “The secret ingredient is seeing what our opponent is doing,” says Nakasone.
Not to forget the important role of the Starlink internet stations, satellites owned by Elon Musk, which gave Kyiv the opportunity to stably connect to the network.
data collection
According to CNN, a database would have been created in which all important information would have been written. However, according to The Intercept, the United States is amplifying data that agents may or may not confirm to them. Whoever reports them to the Ukrainians is an American official.
So far, this structure has made it possible to help Kyiv, avoiding active entry into the conflict. In fact, drones and reconnaissance planes avoid entering Ukrainian airspace for this reason.
The Land War
When everything that happens in the air is confirmed by public statements, what happens on the ground is constantly denied. Officially, no American soldiers are fighting with the Ukrainian resistance against the Russians. At the same time, however, a confirmation in this regard is not possible. And to tell the truth, the possibility of American soldiers in Ukraine continues to be denied.
In fact, there are several rumors that speak of special forces and “shadows”. Denials serve to avoid direct involvement. At the same time, however, even more so when you look at history, it is difficult to say with absolute certainty that no American soldier is fighting in Ukrainian theaters of war.
