U.S. gave Ukrainian forces detailed intelligence about exactly when and where Russian missiles and bombs were intended to strike, prompting Ukraine to move air defenses and aircraft out of harm’s way, current and former U.S. officials told NBC News.
That near real-time intelligence-sharing also paved the way for Ukraine to shoot down a Russian transport plane carrying hundreds of troops in the early days of the war, the officials say, helping repel a Russian assault on a key airport near Kyiv.
It was part of what American officials call a massive and unprecedented intelligence-sharing operation with a non-NATO partner that they say has played a crucial role in Ukraine’s success to date against the larger and better-equipped Russian military.
Ukraine continues to move air defenses and aircraft nearly every day with the help of American intelligence, which is one reason Russia has not been able to establish air dominance. In some cases, Ukraine moved the targeted air defense systems or planes just in time, the officials said.
Ukrainian forces have used specific coordinates shared by the U.S. to direct fire on Russian positions and aircraft, current and former officials tell NBC News.
Those early shoot-downs helped thwart the Russian air assault operation designed to take Hostomel Airport near Kyiv, which would have allowed the Russians to flood troops and equipment to the region around the capital. The Russians eventually took the airport for a time, but never had enough control to fly in massive amounts of equipment.

The openly stated goal is to reduce the population from 8 billion to 500 million.
Seven and a half billion people aren't all going to go quietly!
Exactly.
You might want to have a look at the people supporting Ukraine too.
Lots of people on this site all just blindly back Ukraine, damn the consequences or why the media is all pro Ukraine.
Maybe it's not true? Maybe it's just domestic propaganda to build public support for the Biden administration. And the Russians don't care about this fake news because it's fake.
Russian regime change. Imagine when Obama and co install a globalist replacement for Putin using their globalist replacement in Ukraine. They will sacrifice as many Ukrainians or anyone else to finally bring Russia into the new world order.
Agreed.
If population reduction is your goal....
Loose lips sink ships. We have idiots running this asylum.
Seriously? You’re saying that about FDR with a straight face?
Lend Lease, unrestricted access to war material, oil embargoes on Japan in 1940….
Then,we were supporting nations against foes that would attack us and declare war on us sometime later in response to those actions. Now, sounds very familiar, but future remains unwritten yet in regards to Ukraine
Some folks just don’t seem to get it, or they simply want to
push Russia even further.
I’m not supporting Russia in this, but this release of
information is not going to be helpful.
You’ve got Biden and company in there, and they haven’t a
single clue when it comes to diplomacy and military
considerations.
Just more of the brilliance that brought us the Afghanistan
withdrawal.
So, you figure that no Russian mother should have to go to bed at night worrying whether her son will be killed when he invades another country?
One has to wonder what the game is. Start a world war?

Provoking WW3 is one piss poor way to deflect attention from inflation and soaring gas/food prices.
Did you intend to post a sarcasm tag?
Poking the bear.
“FDR couldn’t involve the American people in WWII until the Axis attacked US territory proper.”
FDR had the USN convoys to Icelandic waters while we were officially neutral.

Thanks for blabbing, a$$holes
The question was why release this in a story... So that Russia thinks we are participating?
Remember, when you poke the bear one too many times, the WWIII will be over before the NY Slimes report on it.
NBC is trying to get us all killed.
