US support for Ukraine is largely at secret or semisecret levels

US support for Ukraine is largely at secret or semisecret levels, in training assistance or information sharing. Not to mention that just yesterday it emerged that the Washington government has a team of strategists, called the Tiger Team, to study viable options. Fox News has already noted the role that US special forces have played, and perhaps still have, in developing Ukrainian capabilities. Especially the Green Berets, or Green Berets, the US Army special force based at Fort Bragg. They are masters of guerrilla warfare, as seen by the stratagems of the cinematic Rambo, who actually passes for a Green Berets veteran. Dozens of “Berets” along with about 100 members of the Florida National Guard formed a contingent of 160 US military advisers pulled from Ukraine by President Joe Biden’s decision last February, just before the Russian invasion. It cannot be said whether some of them have returned or are still working at training centers like the one in Yavoriv, ​​which was bombed by missiles from Moscow. Fox News quoted the views of one of them, on leave today, Sergeant Major Martin Moore, who explained: “Ukraine was taken seriously by the Green Berets, who went to great lengths to train the Ukrainians. There is no one better than them in training». For Moore, it is typical for Green Berets to operate in many countries “in silence” to train US allies: “They go where no one goes and discover what is possible there. They are a force multiplier for the troops they work with, not only with ambushes and incursions, but also with the knowledge of the territory. Since 2014, the first Green Berets arrived in Yavoriv, ​​and took turns, until last month, when the White House withdrew them, as well as the infantry of the Guard. Florida National, specifically the 53rd Brigade, which arrived in Ukraine in November 2021.

Then Biden surprised Putin. Diplomatic inversion, from the sacred halls the indiscretions of Federico Rampini

 

SATELLITES AND SPY AIRCRAFT Likewise, in early February, Britain made it clear that it was ready to send “100 SAS soldiers”, i.e. Special Air Service, the bestknown British special force, to Ukraine. There was no confirmation of its sending, which could have taken place in secret. The existence of a consultative structure that the White House established on February 28, 4 days after the start of the conflict, but revealed yesterday by the New York Times, is no longer classified. It’s Tiger Team, a team of US national security officials that meets “three times a week in secret sessions” to review the situation and codify possible options for action in advance, especially in the case of the use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.

Tiger Team is organizing American support for Ukraine, including the provision of weapons and perhaps even the use of special units such as those mentioned. Among the tasks of the “ghost” commission is also advising Biden on what to do if the Russians attack neighboring nonNATO countries such as Georgia or Moldova. As for information assistance in Kiev, here too the Americans are in the front row, as it is plausible to offer the Ukrainian government satellite photos and radar and radio surveys carried out by American spy planes that, without entering Ukrainian airspace, fly over it . the limits by relying on longrange sensors. We are talking about Boeing RC135, E3 Sentry and P8 Poseidon reconnaissance planes, the latter also taking off from Sigonella, Sicily, as well as MQ9 Reaper drones, flying over the Black Sea or Romania. Not surprisingly, on March 18, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s secret service, General Scott Berrier, said that “the sharing of intelligence between the US and Ukraine is revolutionary in terms of what we can do.” Berrier will provide confidential details only in front of the US Congressional Intelligence Commission, in closeddoor session. If the Americans give Kiev space photos of Russian forces and telecommunications intercepts, the Ukrainians, with their battlefield experience, inform Washington about the capabilities, strengths and weaknesses of Russian troops, weapons and tactics.
