ukraine intelligence, specifically on the donbas region. it s not really a surprise, but that seems rather critical. how crucial is it? well, it s always critical. in particular we ve got to recognize that the greater the greatest killer on the battlefield thus far for the russians has been their use of visales and artillery. those are fairly easy to see from the intelligence platforms we have in the air. the ukrainians also have counter battery radars. but if they want to hold back a russian artillery assault, which is really the center piece of how the russians fight, that intelligence is going to be giving some pinpoint accuracy on where those artillery missile batteries are. and that could be significant in this upcoming fight, where we should expect even more artillery and missiles fired than we ve seen up to this point in the war.
consequences. they are hidden in that basements. sean: let me ask you on the issue of defense providing that javelins and stinger missiles i think would be very effective because i wanted to be very clear. i don t support an american boot on the ground every time we put american troops on the ground, the work gets politicized and then we end up pulling our troops out and losing. military technology has become so sophisticated we could push buttons in tampa, florida, and we can hit with pinpoint accuracy. targets all over the world. i preferred that level of warfare. i guess my question becomes on top of providing the javelins and stinger missiles, i see this these satellite images of this convoy and i m wondering, why hasn t anybody you don t have to take credit for it. but there is 70 something called a covert operation. why hasn t any european country

were based. now they were hit overnight with very severe level of destruction with pinpoint accuracy. this indicates that russians do have the capableility to use accurate weapons if they choose to, unlike where in cities like kharkiv, especially northern parts of kyiv where they ve been using multiple rocket launching systems to attack civilian targets. but this is a devastating blow to the battle, in the battle for mykolaiv. this is an important, strategic town. not only because it has a port, but it controls access to next stage if russians were to capture it to go on to odesa and to try to join up their towns they re trying to capture on the sea. of course, the most dramatic example of that, wolf, you ve already mentioned is the ongoing siege of mariupol, where in the downtown area, we re now getting information that there is street to street fighting in the center
