Before Ukraine sounded its alarm, a formation of Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers left the airfield on February 15.
So, why does the Ukrainian side have such a powerful intelligence network that is able to accurately capture their flight trajectory?
1. Who leaked the news?
In a war, different information allows them to better grasp the movements of the enemy, and the Ukrainian army has just been informed by the Russian strategic bombers that have taken to the skies, and this information is very valuable.
And some of these problems come from Western intelligence services. Every move of the Russian army has long been noticed by the Western world, and it is the main culprit of the Ukrainian crisis. The intelligence services of the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries with advanced investigative tools and networks can actively collect information about Ukraine and share that information with Ukraine.
Spy networks are also a possible source of information. Every country's intelligence department will send its own ** to infiltrate the enemy's base camp to obtain important intelligence. They will get information in different ways in important industries such as the military, ** departments, etc. In the midst of the tensions between Ukraine and Russia, these ** have been actively sending information to Ukraine.
Satellite reconnaissance is also a source of information. In recent years, due to the progress of science and technology, the use of satellites for information collection has gradually become a major way of information collection. The fourth-generation ** exploration satellite of the United States has a resolution of up to 10 centimeters, let alone a fighter jet, even if a person walks can be found by it. Using satellite surveillance, it is possible to accurately grasp the flight trajectory of Russian fighters and provide information support to the Ukrainian army.
Second, the impact of information leakage on China's economic development.
Russia is the most powerful power in the world, and its military actions tend to have a huge impact on the security situation of neighboring countries. As soon as the operational plans of Russia's strategic bombers become known to the world, especially among the enemy forces, this information will be leaked, thus greatly limiting its combat capabilities on the battlefield.
On the modern battlefield, a surprise attack can often surprise the enemy with a fatal blow. When the enemy learns of its military movements, the enemy will have ample time to adjust the defensive layout and increase the number of air defense forces, which will greatly weaken the surprise capability of the Russian forces and may lead to the failure of their battle plans.
Before starting a war, Russia usually keeps their tactics secret in order to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. After the information is leaked, Russia's military objectives and capabilities will be **, thereby raising the enemy's awareness of precautions and making it possible to carry out active defense, thereby greatly weakening its strategic position.
When the enemy knows their combat intentions, they can take measures, such as strengthening anti-aircraft defenses, deploying additional fighters, deploying anti-aircraft missiles, and so on. This will bring higher danger to the Russian troops, combat losses and waste of materials, which will have a direct impact on Russia's military strength.
3. Problems facing Russia.
Russia is the most influential power in the world today, and its scientific and technological development has also attracted widespread attention. Russia is the second country in the world after the United States, according to the Global Military Power Index.
The Russian Army has a strong land, sea and air force, and is equipped with many tanks, fighters, ships and other cutting-edge **. The Russian Su-57 fighter has become the most cutting-edge fighter in the world today because of its excellent air combat capabilities. At the same time, Russia is also the world's largest nuclear armament power, and its nuclear deterrent power should not be underestimated.
Russia has not only all-round power, but also its own unique military technology. Russia is the most advanced tank, rocket launcher, air defense system in the world. Russia's tank crews are known for their high power and good protection, the most iconic of which is the T-14 "Armata". Russia also has a strong scientific and technological strength in the field of missiles, and its "Sarmat" missile is recognized as the world's most sophisticated intercontinental missile because of its advantages of high range and high accuracy.
Russia has a strong military scientific and technological strength, but at the same time, it is also facing many problems and challenges. Russia's investment in military spending is huge, but compared with the United States, it is still too far behind. Russia's defense budget is only about one-tenth that of the United States, and this goes back to 2023. This means that it will be difficult for Russia to develop new weapons and maintain existing equipment.
The Russian army has made great progress in some areas, but it is still lagging behind in others. Russia is still lagging behind in the research of electronic warfare and information warfare and other emerging operations, and there is a great distance between Russia and the United States and other advanced military powers. This will have a significant impact on Russia's fighting strength and role in future wars.
Russia's military activities are often carried out around the world and are closely monitored in the Western world. Russia's attacks on Ukraine, Syria, and a number of other places have already attracted the attention and accusations of many. These public comments from around the world will dampen Russia's activities and expose it to greater potential threats.
With the advancement of modern military science and technology, it is becoming more and more convenient to monitor and detect the enemy's activities. At present, the means of satellite detection in Europe and the United States are very well developed, which can monitor Russia's movements to a certain extent. This means that Russia is likely to be a target for the enemy.
Fourth, summary. In the world to come, intelligent warfare will continue to be an indispensable part of the political and military activities of all countries in the world. This requires colleges and universities to pay more attention to information work in order to improve their capabilities.
