The u.s fighter jets are surveilling
Russia's war in Ukraine. sensors from American aircraft are able
to penetrate deep into Ukraine and the
data they gather is being shared with
Ukraine. Although the united states is playing an
active role in intelligence gathering
for Ukrainian forces, Washington is being
careful to avoid actions that Russia
could perceive as escalators.
A previously scheduled intercontinental
ballistic missile test was postponed, pentagon press secretary john Kirby
recently noted. John Kirby added, "we did not take this decision lightly
but instead to demonstrate that we are a
responsible nuclear power," Kirby
explained.
Kirby emphasized that this is not a step
backward in our readiness. Despite unfavorable odds and being
thoroughly overmatched by virtually
every metric by Russian forces, the
Ukrainian armed forces have displayed an
uncanny ability to remain combat
effective.
Russian forces have experienced severe
logistical issues, hampering their combat
effectiveness. reports on social media and online paint
a bleak picture of Russia's forces, Russian troops entered Ukraine with
inadequate food rations, five-plus years
expired in some cases. fuel is a pressing
issue with multiple Russian convoys
stalled for lack of diesel. one Russian convoy north of Kyiv, the
Ukrainian capital is over 40 miles long
and going nowhere fast.
They haven't from our best estimates
made any appreciable progress, geographically speaking in the last 24
to 36 hours, Kirby explained during an
afternoon briefing.
Kirby added that we believe the Russians
are deliberately actually regrouping
themselves and reassessing the progress
that they have not made and how to make
up the lost time.
Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance
In a tweet Ukrainian minister of foreign
affairs, Dimitro Coleba voiced his
support for sanctions against Russia but
added that emphasized that Ukraine needs
additional deliveries of weapons, especially for our air force now.
And it would seem that the united states
are gathering and sharing a considerable
amount of intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance data with Ukraine.
As per reports from air force magazine, the united states and nato are sharing
everything from radio and communications
data to radar and satellite data with
Ukraine.
They are also providing Ukraine with
airborne early warning and control
system data collected from the air along
nato's eastern flank. sensors from American F-15s, F-16s, F-18s, and F-35s are able to penetrate deep
into Ukraine and the data they gather is
also being shared with Ukraine.
However one area that remains off-limits
is the black sea due to potential
accidents or escalation with Russian
forces.
Still, the united states would like to
deliver more lethal aid to the
beleaguered Ukrainian defenders without
coming into contact with Russian forces
in the air on land, John Kirby explained
to reporters.
"We're continuing to look for ways to
support Ukraine to defend themselves," John Kirby said. And were very actively engaged in those
efforts to help them better defend
themselves through both lethal and
non-lethal assistance.
