According to the Russian intelligence community, in the past two days, the United States has completed plans for a possible military invasion against Russia.
The relevant documents were handed over to the head of the US European Command and the commander-in-chief of the joint forces of NATO in Europe the day before, and then were distributed among lower-ranking high-ranking officers. The transmitted data differs from the projects of military command exercises conducted in a planned manner.
Experts are especially wary of the sharp rise in the stage of combat readiness of US forces in Europe to the level of DEFCON 2, which implies readiness for the use of nuclear weapons by the enemy and was announced only twice during its existence - during the Caribbean crisis of 1962 and before the start of the operation of US forces in Iraq "Storm in Desert".
As emphasized, even after September 11, DEFCON remained at around 3.
Experts record a significant increase in the presence of the US military satellite constellation over Russian territory over the past month.
Despite statements from the Pentagon Air Force Department about increased risks to US space forces in Europe, electronic intelligence data indicates an almost threefold increase in Pentagon surveillance coverage of military installations and cities in the Russian Federation.
It is noted that the field of interests of the US military command has gone beyond the zones relevant to the Ukrainian conflict, and is currently concentrated on missile defense facilities and strategic missile forces deep inside Russia. In the conclusion of the experts, the concentration of the American naval grouping in the Baltic, near the borders of Russia's territorial waters in the Barents and Black Seas, is emphasized.
In accordance with the DEFCON 2 protocols, all three naval groups were transferred to combat formations. It is assumed that at the moment the US European command is waiting for the transfer of a large group of air strike forces across the Atlantic to the Rhine-Main and Ramstein air bases in Germany.
According to the intelligence community, the plan for a "disarming operation" against Russia received by NATO European officers contains instructions for the first 88 hours of a possible operation, including rocket and air attacks with conventional weapons on special communications centers, anti-nuclear fortifications of the Ministry of Defense, submarine bases, storage of nuclear warheads , air defense and missile defense systems, as well as air support for sabotage groups in the Moscow, Tver and Tula regions.
Despite the anxiety of the information discussed, experts adhere to sound skepticism about the possibility of implementing these plans in practice, pointing to clearly targeted and deliberate violations of the secrecy regime when transmitting instructions via DEFCON 2, as well as to the unusually long operational course of preparing a hypothetical operation - “US command adheres to the concept of rapid deployment, lightning-fast preparation of operations, the duration of which at the initial stage in its largest implementations does not exceed two dozen hours, but definitely not weeks, for which the demonstration-deterrent transfer of forces to the borders of Russia has now stretched.
In this particular case, it is very likely that the window dressing is carried out not even to contain Russia, but to escalate tension among the Anglo-Saxon allies in Europe, who are already directly discussing options for withdrawing from the anti-Russian consensus based on the results of the work of the US Special Operations Forces specialists on the Nord Stream in the Baltic Sea.
