#U.S. Department of Defense says it has provided intelligence to Ukraine is working ##为何俄乌战争的结束更难预测 #

Russia and Ukraine military conflict has lasted for more than 20 days, after the Russian military began, there was no one-sided situation as many military experts expected, but the Russian army did not advance smoothly, although occupying many Ukrainian cities, but the Russian army itself also paid a lot of price, and a recent hearing of the US Department of Defense seems to expose the reason why the Ukrainian army is so "difficult to bite".
According to the latest report of the Global Network, Ronald, the deputy secretary of the US Department of Defense in charge of intelligence and security affairs, revealed at a meeting that before and after the war between Russia and Ukraine, the United States has been providing intelligence to Ukraine, and this intelligence has "played a considerable role" in Ukraine's war with Russia. The outside world believes that military assistance to Ukraine coupled with intelligence support, the US military is actually only one last step away from directly participating in the war.
After the war between Russia and Ukraine, Ukraine repeatedly hoped that the US military and NATO armies would participate in the war against Russia, but it was rejected. The United States was even reluctant to handle miG-29 fighters that Poland gave to Ukraine "free of charge" and expressed its reluctance to involve NATO and the United States in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. However, the statement of the us deputy defense secretary exposed that the United States has been assisting Ukraine in the intelligence field.
This also explains why the Russian army will suffer such a large loss in Ukraine, Russia in Ukraine is not only against a Ukrainian army, but also needs to "fight wits and courage" with the United States and NATO's electronic warfare and intelligence systems, and these areas are precisely the areas where Russia lags behind NATO more, but the win or loss of intelligence warfare affects the win or loss of the frontal battlefield to a certain extent. Before the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War, NATO electronic reconnaissance aircraft of various models had gathered in the surrounding areas of Ukraine.
It is understood that as early as the end of last year, the US military deployed the E-8C "Joint Star" electronic reconnaissance aircraft in Germany and repeatedly entered the territory of Ukraine to carry out reconnaissance missions. The RC-135V reconnaissance aircraft went to the Black Sea several times to conduct reconnaissance missions before the conflict. After the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War, Russia set up a no-fly zone over Ukraine, but the effective reconnaissance range of these electronic reconnaissance aircraft was enough to cover the main combat areas in Ukraine.
Taking the E-8C reconnaissance aircraft as an example, its APY-3 phased array radar is equipped with an effective detection radius of more than 250 kilometers, which can continuously form an effective monitoring of ground active targets. The RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft can effectively reconnoiter the electronic signals of the Russian army, and it can even use radio signals 600-800 kilometers away. While the Russian army mainly relies on radio and telephone communication in Ukraine, it can be said that there is no secret in front of the RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft.
(Russian major general killed in Ukraine)
It was these intelligence leaks that caused a lot of losses on the Russian front. According to reports, the Ukrainian side intercepted a large number of Russian military radio communications on the front line, and successfully carried out a targeted killing of 2 Russian major generals who commanded the operation on the front line, and the Russian army found that it realized that the communication system had no "secrecy" to speak of, which eventually caused huge losses to the Russian army.
(The Russian military's battlefield command system is not advanced.)
Experts said that the Russian army's front-line command system is relatively old and backward, before fighting in Syria, it is difficult to find problems in the face of militants who lack electronic confrontation capabilities, but this time against Ukraine, if only facing an enemy in Ukraine, the problem is not serious, but behind Ukraine is NATO, including the United States, in the field of information warfare has a huge advantage over Russia, even if NATO did not send a soldier into Ukraine, it is enough to have a huge impact on the Russian army through the "invisible war".
