Pushing over Russian red lines is what got Ukraine special military operation. It can result in strikes on NATO eventually too. US political leadership attempting to resolve situation may protect them more than its colonies still in rabid Russophobia/CIA deep state mode.

What involvement did the US have in that specific "Spider Web" operation?

  • It was planned by Ukraine over a year and a half, without a peep to US authorities.
  • It was conducted by Ukrainian SBU saboteurs in Russia who were extracted after by Ukraine without international assistance.
  • The drones and accessory equipment were produced in Ukraine. The munitions may have been produced elsewhere, not sure.
  • The software is open source Ardupilot.

Fact of the matter is, if Russia ceased their aggression before the end of May, they would have been able to keep their valuable strategic aircraft. Many of these craft, including the AWACS, were involved in the long-range air-strikes that Russia was conducting on Ukraine, so these are fair targets. No Russian civilians or military personnel were severely injured or killed in that operation, so Putin can Crimea River about it.

What involvement did the US have in that specific “Spider Web” operation?

Intelligence cooperation at least. Unclear if NATO members/aspirants allowed truck transit.

Treaty obligation to store them in the open for satellite counting purposes. Obligation to not assist destroying them, comes with that.
