The NATO war against Russia is already underway

At his press conference on April 25, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that "NATO, by supplying weapons to Ukraine, is in fact entering into a proxy war with Russia”. This is a very important thesis that requires its own analysis and reflection.

According to our Ministry of Defence, there are 6,824 foreign mercenaries from 63 countries on the territory of Ukraine. Among them are 1,717 militants from Poland, about 1,500 from the US, Canada and Romania, as well as 300 military from the UK and Georgia. Turkey does not stand aside, having sent some of the militants who had previously fought against Armenia and Syria to participate in hostilities on the side of the Ukrainian army.

According to Ukrainian sources, a "foreign legion of volunteers" was formed from the militants, including those ones which were sent by Turkey. They take a direct part in the fighting. The rest, representing the United States and Great Britain, are there as instructors, conducting training of the military of the Ukraine Armed Forces in tactics, fire training and mine-explosive practice.

This is from what is known. The fact that NATO officers carry out the actual leadership of combat units and give combat support to units of Ukraine is behind the scenes. In particular, transmitting information from tracking satellites and AWACS aircraft to aviation, artillery, as well as other units of the Armed Forces.

At the same time, UAF servicemen are being used as cannon fodder. Advanced air controller and fire spotters, among other military specialists, have always been included in the "risk group". Tactics against the regular troops of Russia are being practiced on the representatives of other military specialties. Then, the received developments are already used by the NATO members themselves.

It is precisely on the basis of the experience gained on the battlefields of Ukraine that the actions of Western units were formed during the recent Cold Response 2022 exercises (Norway, March) and at the National Training Center in Fort Irvine.

Russian-speaking role-players participated as the conditional enemy, performing as representatives of the enemy state controlling the fictional city of Ujen and constantly spreading disinformation on social networks against a brigade of American troops preparing to attack a city captured by the enemy.

The West has used military personnel of other states even before, putting them under fire. In 2016, the permanent representative of Syria to the UN announced sensational information about the capture of 150 NATO officers in eastern Aleppo. The President of the Aleppo Chamber of Industry, Fares Shehabi, even published lists of captured officers.

Among them: American officers - 22, British - 16, French - 21, Israeli - 7, and Turkish - 61. This is not an isolated case, given that only in Syria alone there are over six thousand identified foreign mercenaries.

A similar situation was observed in the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The commander of the 3rd Field Army of the Turkish Ground Forces, Lieutenant General Sheref Ongay, was engaged in planning the operation in Karabakh. Major General Bakhtiyar Ersay, who headed the General Staff of Azerbaijan, worked with him.

The "drone general", Major General of the Turkish Air Force Goksel Kahya was together with them. It was precisely he who provided the use of "Bayraktar TB2". To use it, not only the UAV itself is needed, but also the team that controls and directs it. Apparently, this is what he was doing, as well as determining the goals for the Bayraktars. Both NATO satellites and AWACS aircraft perfectly suited for this.

The Turkish trace, when carefully examined, is also noticeable in Ukraine. In addition to the Bayraktars, hundreds of militants were transferred across the Polish Rzeszow by Turkish sides. In the Syrian Afrin, in the territories controlled by Turkish formations, a selection point has been deployed for those who wish to be sent to Ukraine.

Jihadists receive from the entrepreneur from $2,000 to 2,500 per month plus planned payments for the destruction of Russian military equipment. On the territory of Odessa, an illegal armed formation consisting of members of the international terrorist organisations "Sultan Murad Division" and "Jabhat Al-Shamiya", numbering about 250 people, was created with the money of a Ukrainian businessman of Syrian origin Tareq Al-Jassim.

Bayraktars, like other unmanned aerial vehicles, have found their wide usage on the land of Ukraine. This alone indicates the presence of at least instructors who teach the UAF to work with high-precision weapons, having acquired skills in Syria and Azerbaijan.

There are two main signs of the presence of NATO. Firstly, this is the tactic. As both in Syria and Azerbaijan, in Ukraine too, the widespread use of UAVs is noted. Drones are used both to monitor the movement of the enemy, and for the direct destruction of objects. In the course of their use, 2 main elements are visible: when destroying military facilities - there is reconnaissance/closed communication/coordination/defeat; when directing units (groups) to the target: there is intelligence/coordination/withdrawal.

Thus, for example, our column, spotted from the enemy's UAV, was outflanked and grenades were blindly thrown at it, under the control of the UAV and communications, after which the withdrawal was carried out.

Secondly, there is the need for experienced operators. NATO and Turkey have such combat experience. They can be used both independently and for training UAF operators.

Detection of, and directing to, the target, except for UAVs, are carried out by means of military satellites and long-range radar detection aircraft. To say that this is absent in Ukraine is superfluous. For this the following are used:

Boeing E-3A Sentry (LX-N90454) is a NATO long–range radar detection aircraft "operating" from Romania; strategic reconnaissance drone of the US Air Force Northrop Grumman RQ-4A Global Hawk; Boeing RC-135V Rivet Joint of the US Air Force with the call sign JAKE11 are working from the territory of Poland.

They also worked over the Black Sea when the “Moskva” cruiser was damaged.

Another source of intelligence that the Americans transmit to the UAF is space optical-electronic and radio-technical intelligence. These are the radars "Lacrosse", "Topaz", radio intelligence "Magnum", "Mentor", "Intruder", and optoelectronic KN-11, KN-12. Reconnaissance of objects is carried out 4 times a day, while flying directly over the territory of Crimea it is carried out twice. The maximum resolution of the onboard equipment of optoelectronic satellites is 0.3-0.9 meters.

In addition to military means, "civilian" ones are also used, for example, NAVSTAR satellites and DMSP weather satellites. Elon Musk's Starlink satellites are also used, which provide 5G communication. Starlink receivers were seen in the Ukrainian army and even we got something as a trophy. According to various estimates, there are now up to 5,000 Starlink receivers in the combat zone, transferred at the initiative of Musk on a gratuitous basis. The cooperation with Ukraine was also confirmed by the companies Capella Space, MDA and Satellogic.

Satellites record the operation of all radio equipment in the combat zone, both "ours" and numerous opponents' ones. Based on them, a map of the movement of Russian units and Ukrainian units is presented, which is processed in a centre located in Poland, and then transferred to Ukrainian units and divisions. The coordinates of individual targets "come" directly to the performers, who are determined, conversely, by the Western headquarters on the basis of the data available to them.

It turns out to be a kind of chess game, when the pieces of Ukraine are moved by the West.

The Pentagon itself does not deny the transfer to the Ukrainian Armed Forces of data, which is used against the domestic armed forces, as was stated by Deputy head of the intelligence agency Ronald Moultrie at a hearing in the Armed Forces Committee of the House of Representatives of the US Congress.

Attacks on our territory by Ukrainian helicopters, including in the Bryansk region and Belgorod, carried out at low altitudes, using "gaps" in the radar field, were carried out with the help of US intelligence. According to one theory, the “Moskva” cruiser was damaged by an anti-ship missile launched by a group of Western special forces without the knowledge of Ukraine.

In the near future, deliveries of MQ-9 Reaper drones, designed for operations in large-scale conflicts with echeloned air defences, are expected to be delivered to the UAF. Its combat capabilities allow to destroy up to a tank company inclusive and to hit objects at a distance from the departure point up to 1900 km. Consequently, attacks on our territory will continue.

Thus, there is no doubt that not only Ukrainian troops are fighting against us. The entire North Atlantic Bloc is fighting against us. This is evidenced by the nomenclature of supplies of weapons and military equipment, the presence of foreign military themselves as instructors and direct participants in hostilities, tactics of warfare, the use of reconnaissance and guidance aircraft satellites and the direct leadership of units.
