Ukraine would not have been able to remotely attack strategic Russian aircraft parked deep inside Russian territory without direct intelligence and satellite support from the US, a former officer in the French military has claimed.
Ukrainian drones struck airbases across Russia on Monday in a coordinated attack known as ‘Operation Spider’s Web’, targeting sites from Murmansk in the Arctic to Irkutsk in Siberia. Kiev has claimed that around 40 Russian military aircraft were damaged or destroyed, including Tu-95 and Tu-22 long-range bombers. Moscow has not confirmed the claims, reporting that most of Kiev’s drones were shot down. The strikes were reportedly carried out using commercial trucks rigged with explosive-laden drones that had been smuggled inside Russia.
Kiev’s operation involved piloting FPV drones thousands of kilometers from the front lines, Guillaume Ancel, a writer and former French army lieutenant colonel, told Le Monde on Wednesday.
“This is possible and conceivable only with the support of a powerful satellite communications system,” he said. “Since the Ukrainians don’t have this mastery, if they were able to act remotely, it’s certainly thanks to the United States.”
Ancel suggested that Kiev “would not have been able to carry out the operation without information from American intelligence.”
While some in the West have hailed Ukraine’s latest drone operation, Stephane Audrand, an international risk consultant and reserve officer, has stressed that it would not actually have much of an impact.
Despite its spectacular nature, ‘Operation Spider’s Web’ “will not change the tactical balance of power on the ground or the course of the war, because these weapons are not used on the battlefield,” Audrand told Le Monde.
Throughout the Ukraine conflict, Moscow has described the hostilities as a Western proxy war against Russia and has condemned arms supplies to Kiev as counterproductive to the peace process.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also recently acknowledged the nature of the conflict, stating: “Frankly, it’s a proxy war between nuclear powers – the United States, helping Ukraine, and Russia.”
Moscow has vehemently condemned Ukraine’s continued drone strikes into Russian territory in recent weeks, claiming that they undermine ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has claimed that the latest attacks are an attempt to derail the peace process.

Putin the Weak, instead of classing recent attacks as ‘acts of war’, they’ve decide to downgrade this to ‘acts of terrorism’.
This is a big difference. I means a calibrated response, while they put the puzzle back together.
The chat with Putin tells us we’re a long way from any deal, and that Nazi Amerika could be named as a player in these attacks. I think it’s a given that Russia knows Nazi UK was involved.
Upto now, only Putin has stopped direct strikes on Nazi UK, but can Putin carryon being Nazi UKs protector. I hope not.
Apparently, the Russians have taken out two cars in Sumy with a drone carried a precision weapon and all occupants in both cars were killed.
Russia intel says these rams, from the UKrainian military and from MI6. Russian intel hacked of of their phones, enabling the hit.
More of this will follow. The comments to this great news was super supportive of Russia, and most were calling for Macron, Starmer, Zelensky, and Mertz to be taken out, or for London to be hit, and some were British. I concour with this sentiment.
I am the patriot, the Nazi traitors are a mile down the road at Vauxhall Cross.
“US intel behind Ukrainian attack on Russian planes – ex-French spy”
So there you go folks, case closed: It was Uncle Sam that “gone & done it”
But, then again, its typical of those French faggots to NEVER give the Bwitish enough credit! 🤣
Isn’t it strange how so many EU countries are warning Russia wants to roll through Europe,, but not until these countries are better prepared for war in three to five years time? Nobody is such an idiot as to believe this guff from our Dear Leaders, so those who say they believe it are just liars who want this war, as it’s patently clear these war plans are drawn up to their own timetable not a supposedly dangerous enemy’s.
Who cares. They’re (US/Russia) both in on the operation and coordination of this waste whitey war.
Check out images of the Jewess ‘editor in chief’ of RT: Margarita Simonyan. Looks like your typical semitic scrubber out of Israel. Yep that guy that used to post on here was right: the Jews run the Russian msm just like they do the msm of US/UK/EU etc; they’re all in on it
On rt there’s a russian commentator (ie. a russian) who says that in russia, the gov say a whole hell of a lot more to the people than even rt tells to the rest of the world about what the russian gov are doing and why. ie. putin etc make statements on their tv saying what they’re doing and why (just like trump does in the jew-sa, but trump’s word rarely come true). In any case, according to this commentator, putin and others have said on russian tv that they’ve essentially put the russian retaliation for these attacks in trump’s lap, because trump has told them he’ll bring the jewkrainians to their senses. They say they’ll give trump “a few weeks but not months” to see what he can do. So, assuming any of this is true, don’t expect anything anytime soon, but if trump doesn’t deliver, then you can expect something big from russia.
I widh I read and spoke russian. I’d apply to emigrate there. It’s way better than pervert muslim filled jew-k with fake religion, fake “government”, fake “caring” and fake all the rest. They wouldn’t want me though, because I’ve been completely broken by western crap.
