US and NATO war plans published on social media, all with very serious consequences
The unduly circulating files would speak of Allied initiatives to strengthen the Ukrainian deployment in the perspective of a planned offensive against Russia, reporting among other things also the painful count of the dead in combat on both fronts. Umberto Rapetto's analysis
What the New York Times writes does not reassure at all and, above all, it does not surprise those who have a good memory and remember that not too many months ago the Portuguese Armed Forces had had confidential documentation of the Atlantic Pact stolen which was not adequately protected on the servers on which it was hosted.
THE DIFFUSION ON THE SOCIAL TWITTER AND TELEGRAM OF US AND NATO WAR PLANS
Recent cards have appeared on Twitter and in some Telegram channels where they are bouncing at the mercy of an endless audience of people. What has been disseminated on modern communication systems has probably been the object of manipulations which have changed the data and estimates reported in those pages, a circumstance which certainly does not lighten the extent of what happened.
THE PENTAGON HAS STARTED AN INVESTIGATION
It is legitimate to ask where those documents come from and we need to understand what was the flaw that allowed their exfiltration with consequences that are not difficult to imagine. The US Department of Defense is working to find out who and how managed to steal and spill files that certainly weren't destined to end up in the hands of over half a billion cybernauts.
THE CONTENT OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS
The unduly circulating files would speak of Allied initiatives to strengthen the Ukrainian deployment in the perspective of a planned offensive against Russia, reporting among other things also the painful count of the dead in combat on both fronts.
THE REPERCUSSIONS
Precisely this last piece of information has not negligible reverberations on Russian public opinion which has available news "filtered" by the government authorities and probably does not have a "sincere" picture of the lives sacrificed in what Putin persists in defining "special operations" . The diffusion of that number interferes with internal balances: if the figure has been modified downwards and perhaps turns out to be laughable, there is the risk that the Russian population considers the price paid by families who have sons and husbands engaged in war bearable. The diffusion of the "correct" plans could be the umpteenth psychological operation (psy-ops the insiders call them) that Tsar Vlad has started to quell discontent and internal opposition.
PERMEABILITY OF WESTERN COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Setting aside assumptions and suggestions, the permeability of Western computer systems remains in the foreground. While there are still those who focus on the danger of DDOS attacks that disable the websites of institutions and companies, perhaps the time has come to investigate the actual health conditions of servers and networks in order to establish their actual level of integrity and confidentiality. It would be unpleasant to discover that we have "enemies" sitting on our sofa at home, gone unnoticed only because they didn't make any noise…
Who – in this story – is passionate about the thought of the presence of "top secret" elements or details of specific battle plans will perhaps be disappointed because there does not seem to be any of this in the disclosed documentation.
However, the documents would still be tantalizing because, for example, they would open a window on HIMARS ammunition, the high-mobility artillery missile systems supplied by the Americans. Certain information can give visibility on "how much" the Ukrainian war machine consumes, what are the refueling times, what is the autonomy and fire capacity….
ARMED FORCES AS A “CENTIPEDE”
That "who" and "how" the Pentagon is investigating should lead to the identification of the Achilles heel. The recurrence of incidents of this nature unfortunately makes us imagine the Armed Forces as a centipede and current events lead even those who are absolutely not warmongers to reflect.
For those who think they are exaggerating, I recommend an article that appeared on the BBC website on August 26th. He talks about the documentation classified "NATO confidential" and "NATO Restricted" relating to the MBDA missile systems, produced by the European multinational, 25% owned by our Leonardo, formerly Finmeccanica. Reading can give an idea of the fragility that surrounds us…
