Ukrainian armed forces launched an offensive on the fronts of Khlsong and Kharkov for half a month, and led to the great defeat of the Russian army, which aroused high attention from the outside world. This large counterattack is the most rapid and violent battle in the Russian and Ukrainian battlefield in the past six months. Ukrainian and Western media have made high-profile propaganda that the Ukrainian armed forces have controlled 6,000 square kilometers of land in the east and south.
According to Global Network , in response to the extent to which the United States has participated in Ukraine's counterattack plan, an official in the Pentagon recently admitted that the United States has provided key intelligence information to Ukraine, and the United States and Ukraine maintain daily communication and information sharing, and maintain close contact and dialogue. However, the Ukrainian army and leadership decide how to conduct a counterattack until information and intelligence are provided.
The US military revealed that it provided "time-sensitive intelligence" to Ukraine. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin revealed that the military intelligence shared by the United States with Ukraine has almost reached a "real-time" level. The US military can distribute the completed effective intelligence to the Ukrainian troops within one hour.
US Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner also admitted that the Ukrainian army launched a counterattack and achieved major results this time, and received close assistance from the US intelligence agencies.
Through a huge intelligence reconnaissance system, the United States will disclose the location of the Russian military mobile command, the route of combat troops, and the location of logistics ammunition supply to the Ukrainian side in real time. The Ukrainian army can launch precise artillery and other strikes based on this kind of detailed information and combined with assistance from human reconnaissance.
The "time-sensitive intelligence" mentioned by the United States is a new concept that the United States often mentioned in wars in recent years. It requires the entire process of intelligence operations that is reconnaissance, ingestion, interpretation, transmission, decision-making, distribution and re-verified within a limited time. In layman's terms, it is the "refresh rate" of intelligence.
NATO has strong joint wide-area reconnaissance capabilities and can grasp the Russian military dynamics in the eastern Ukraine in real time. These wide-area reconnaissance capabilities are realized through a large system, including reconnaissance satellites, drones, electronic reconnaissance aircraft, radio monitoring system, etc.
An efficient reconnaissance system can make up for the shortcomings of a single reconnaissance method, including the shortcomings of optical and radar 's reconnaissance satellite information lag, and the passive and easy-to-be-deceptive shortcomings of electronic reconnaissance satellite . For example, some reconnaissance satellites of the US military are subject to a revisit time limit of at least 2 to 3 days. Then you need to use constellations and optical/SAR joint reconnaissance, which can shorten the intelligence refresh rate to a few hours or more than ten hours, thereby controlling the trends of the entire war zone. Reconnaissance satellite information for optical and radar has the disadvantage of lag. The passive electronic reconnaissance satellites are easily deceived by the Russian army.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, it was not only the US military satellite that reconnaissed the Ukrainian battlefield, but the United States and Europe also mobilized a large number of commercial satellites to shoot on the ground, and then provided them to the Ukrainian army. For example, WorldView-3 satellite , the fourth generation of commercial high-definition optical remote sensing satellite, can take ground images with a full color resolution of 0.31 meters, and is the world's first commercial satellite with a resolution of 0.3 meters. Its image resolution has exceeded the resolution of Russia's best large military optical imaging reconnaissance satellite that is the "Persona" satellite.
In addition, the US military can monitor radio communication from the Russian military armored command vehicle , but radio monitoring cannot accurately locate it, and can only be roughly located. Therefore, the US military also performs radio positioning through the "Prowler" synchronous orbit electronic reconnaissance satellite, which can perform target positioning through the time difference direction measurement method. The US military also deployed the RC-135 strategic reconnaissance aircraft on the Polish -Ukrainian border and the Black Sea airspace, which can identify and monitor radio signals in a wide range of frequency bands. The detection radius is 800 kilometers, which can include the entire Ukraine in the monitoring range.
plus various radar and electronic reconnaissance satellites from NATO, as well as intelligence support for various early warning reconnaissance aircraft. It is certain that the Ukrainian army has much stronger space and aerial reconnaissance capabilities than the Russian army. In the fields of reconnaissance and battlefield situations, the Russian army does not have an advantage.
If you want to carry out real-time network operations, you also need to rely on the synthetic aperture radar carried by the E-8 "Joint Star", EC-135 strategic reconnaissance aircraft and U-2/P-8 and other reconnaissance aircraft . However, the side-sweeping radar has a working distance of about 250 kilometers, so it is still impossible to scan the Eastern War of Ukraine.
On the battlefield, "time-sensitive intelligence" is more about fighting " time-sensitive target " (TCT), which is to implement the entire process of discovery, positioning, identification, aiming and attack within a limited time window. Because these goals are of high value and can be transferred to escape the attack at any time, they need a closed-loop large intelligence system to support the fight against "time-sensitive targets".
For example, only by using rapid automated intelligence interpretation of satellite and aviation reconnaissance information, electronic intelligence big data processing, synthetic aperture radar and mmWave radar scanning battlefields, and agile precision strike weapons can complete the task of hitting "time-sensitive targets".
In this field, the Russian army is almost a baby. Therefore, the big goose is not unfairly defeated.
