Seem to recall that went well for the west as did other interventions. British SF could be guarding the embassy or perhaps more likely providing training and other support given the weapons / systems that have been donated.

Well, Bellingcat and the Washington Post seem to have got there before the FBI, and it looks like the leak has been happening for some months. Expect some behind the scenes rolling of heads is in progress.

Fields Apr 2023 1:34pm, 14 Apr 2023 9,307 posts	Quote Pin Fields I popped back into see the reaction to the security leak revelations and thought I would offer up my analysis on SF presence. This is the place for that sort of thing I think, makes a change from the content of grown men getting excited over tanks. But you’re a friendly, welcoming sort aren’t you lol? Surprised you’ve not done a Zelensky and asked for some moderating ordinance from higher powers to remove my posts from the sovereign territory of your thread

Not sure the SAS are known for they're educational techniques. More likely, remember the armoured column that got decimated on the way the Kyiv? How do you think the Ukrainians knew exactly where it was while they were still developing their drone tactics?

How do you think the Ukrainians knew exactly where it was while they were still developing their drone tactics? Quite. On the contrary, in the forces they ARE known for being impetuous gunslingers and prone to turning up uninvited, often to the chagrin of high command. As far as your thoughts on the armoured column are concerned, without wanting to sound dismissive I don't think so. There are plenty of other methods of accurately locating big concentrations of armour without recourse to bodies on the ground.
