A little bird has materialized to sing that the record of the German generals discussing their plan to attack Russian targets with the Taurus missile
was intercepted and leaked to the Russians by the Americans.A big bird, actually. The telephone conference of German
Luftwaffe chief General Ingo Gerhartz
(lead image, left), one of his staff generals, and two
Luftwaffe lieutenant-colonels on February 19 was listened to by US signals intelligence after the first meeting the Germans had with a new regional US Air Force (USAF) commander,
General Kevin Schneider; Schneider took command of the USAF Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) on February 9 after two and a half years in a senior staff post at the Pentagon under General Charles Brown Jr. Brown was promoted from USAF chief to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on
October 1, 2023. When Schneider left Brown's staff, he took a promotion from lieutenant general to four-star general.
Schneider has never flown or staffed USAF operations against Russia. He was in Singapore for the bi-annual Singapore Air Show to demonstrate what the USAF press office
called "the opportunity to sharpen ties with Singapore, demonstrate flexible aircraft capability, enable engagement with foreign partners, and expand power projection." His agenda of meetings with other country airforce officers is classified.
Comment: A pathetic, not to mention lethal, PR stunt by Ukraine who hoped to disrupt the Russian presidential election. Russian forces saw them off with extreme prejudice.
