Why the Russians are lying about the Makiivka attack in Ukraine
I read an article saying that the Russians are stating that the reason ~100 soldiers died in the blast that destroyed their building in Ukraine was because of banned cell phone use by the Russian soldiers. That usage let the Ukrainian army know exactly where the Russians were.
I doubt that.
I think that the real reason that the precision HIMARS, High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, hit their targets is because the U.S. is providing detailed targeting information to the Ukrainians. How?
By using U.S. satellites (optical and communications) stationed above Ukraine and then our military telling the Ukrainians everything that the Russians are doing and where they are doing it. Down to the square meter!
They are also probably programming the rockets and just have a Ukrainian soldier press the “fire” button so it can be “claimed” that the Ukrainians did it.
Remember the Middle East drone strikes, precisely controlled from a military base in Utah?
This is closest that the U.S. has got so far with going to war with another country but having a third country do the fighting and sadly, the general public being in the middle.
Does the U.S. government really care about Ukraine? I don’t think so. Do they care about the Russian Federation and want to find out their (what passes for) strategy, tactics and capabilities. Definitely. And that’s without any U.S. personnel being at risk, and being able to get rid of our old weapons so that our goverment can have a good reason to buy shiny new toys and support the defense industry.
So why was this disaster blamed on cell phones by the Russian government? So the Russians can publicly avoid claiming that the U.S. actually killed the Russian soldiers, which would bring the world closer to World War III.
The escalation is coming and Israel will soon be at great risk.
We shall see.
