Russian Attack Exposes NATO On-Ground in Ukraine
Sept. 6—On Sept. 4, the 179th Training Center of the signal troops military institute in Poltava, Ukraine, or Poltava Institute of Military Communications, was struck by what was initially reported to be at least two Kinzhal missiles. Due to the speed of the hypersonic missiles, the air-raid sirens sounded only moments before they struck. Official Ukrainian claims are that 49 troops were killed and 219 wounded. Blog and other sources, including some “on the ground,” report up to 600 killed.
Among those killed were an undisclosed number of Swedish military advisors and trainers. They were stationed at the Institute to train Ukrainian forces on the use of the Swedish Saab ASC 890 AWACS plane, another weapon touted as a “game-changer” in Ukraine’s war against Russia, that Sweden had planned to donate to Ukraine. AWACS would have allowed the detection of Russian planes and missiles and coordinated counterattacks by Ukraine Air Force and air defenses many miles from the front lines.
The Swedish AWACS experts are rumored to be irreplaceable.
Within hours, Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom resigned, effective on the opening day of the Swedish Parliament next week, without stating any reasons. Billstrom was the Swedish Foreign Minister who helped guide Stockholm to surrender its neutrality and join NATO.
The attack comes as the Russians continue to mop up the so-called Ukraine incursion into Kursk. When that is completed , it will cost the Ukraine Armed Forces, over 10,000 casualties in what was really military deployment providing support and cover for a Waffen-SS terrorist operation directed against primarily civilian targets, intending to instill fear and terror in the Russian population. Sources report that the Kursk operation was being run by special NATO forces, on the ground, wearing Ukrainian uniforms, directing the mobile Waffen-SS terrorist patrols, many of which were composed of hard-core Nazis, from such units as the notorious Azov Battalion, The Russians have not reported the civilian casualty numbers, but they are thought to be in the several hundred to a thousand.
In contrast, the Russian targeting the Poltava Institute, demonstrated their ability to strike at will and with precision at a military facility, that sources report, housed more than Swedish trainers, but operatives from several NATO countries, including British and American personnel. The reported Swedish deaths are thought to be the first such of NATO forces in the Ukraine war. "The message is clear to the NATO forces and to their Ukrainian Nazi puppets in Kyiv," said a source. "We know where you are and we can get you, at any time, and without warning.. And they have, all at once, given lie to the propaganda that this is Ukraine's war, and that NATO has no forces on the ground in Ukraine. The Swedish body bags prove that which si why the Swedish Foreign Minister had to resign—because he had concealed the Swedish on-the-ground involvement. If any Americans were killed, I think that their bodies would be moved safely to somewhere outside the Ukraine, until a story could be invented."
The Swedes had faced previous difficulties in Poltava. On July 8, 1709, Tsar Peter I defeated Swedish Imperial troops under the command of Carl Gustaf Rehnskiöld. Up until that point, the Swedish Empire under King Charles XII had defeated the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Denmark-Norway and the Tsardom of Russia. After the Great Frost of 1708-1709, the Swedish army besieged Poltava, which, like today, was an important trading center and military depot. Tsar Peter I led 80,000 men to relieve the siege, and defeated Charles XII’s army. Much of Charles’s army was forced to surrender to Peter at Perevolochna on July 11, 1709. This was the greatest defeat in Swedish history, and forced Sweden out as the dominant power in the Baltic region.
