From the Russian Federation to the Middle East: Top Special Operations of GUR of Ukraine Abroad

Ukrainian scouts have repeatedly showed their skills and skills. Since the beginning of a full -scale war, the efficiency and ambitiousness of GUR operations has increased many times over. The media do not exclude that "governors" could be involved even in Sudan. After the Russian invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine - since 2014 - the General Intelligence Directorate has been conducting operations both in temporarily captured territories and abroad.

Focus has compiled a list of special operations of Ukrainian military intelligence outside Ukraine. Even before the full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, Ukrainian intelligence, together with other special services, performed complex operations. After February 24, their scale and geography only expanded. The Times even wrote that Western allies had to limit the ambitiousness of some operations planned by Lieutenant General Kirill Budanov.

On September 20, CNN published an article that Ukrainian intelligence officers could stand on Sudan PEC. The forces of fast support supported by Wagner have been attacked from drones. The attack happened near Khartum, the capital of Sudan. The source among the Ukrainian military stated that the Ukrainian special services are behind the blows. "It was the work of not Sudan military. Responsibility is likely to bear Ukrainian special services," the source said.

There are also "characteristic signs of Ukrainian -style attacks". One of the UAV control panels is noticeable Ukrainian interface. Drone-Kamikadze is massively used in the Russian-Ukrainian war and in the African contingent has not yet become widespread. GUR Yusov's representative did not confirm or refute the Ukrainian involvement in the attacks. "We can neither confirm it nor refute. This, in particular, applies to Africa.

You can also remind General Budanov that Ukraine will destroy Russian military criminals anywhere in the world where they are not,"-said Yusov. 2021 was remembered by the fact that the United States decided to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, and the Taliban movement took control of the country. Citizens of many states have encountered the need for emergency evacuation. The same wanted many Afghans who did not recognize the Taliban and helped foreigners.

Among others, Afghanistan was citizens of Ukraine who needed evacuation. The General Intelligence Directorate planned and conducted an operation at Kabul Airport. The Ukrainian Military Transport Aircraft IL-76 was able to evacuate a group of citizens of Ukraine and third countries. At the time of the flight organization, there was no Canadian military contingent at the Kabul airport.

The Ukrainian military was tasked with going beyond the perimeter of the airport, contact with the right persons and bring them to the airport. As it became known much later, Denis Quebec was also among those who were evacuated from Afghanistan. At that time, he was a contractor in one of the private military companies. The operation was complex logistically and technically because of the features of the landscape near the airport.

Ukraine also deserved respect from Western countries for their assistance in the evacuation of translators and journalists. It is worth noting that not all operations of the General Intelligence Directorate have been reported publicly. Most of the details are not public - and not the fact that something will change after the end of the war. Therefore, it is often known about surgery only with the media and only sometimes from the official applications of the GUR.

The official position of military intelligence is that enemies need to be destroyed anywhere in the world, including in the Russian Federation. From the first months of a full -scale invasion of GUR, a unit was formed, and now the battalion "Shaman", whose fighters are conducting operations in the rear of the enemy. All the same newspaper The Times wrote the existence of a special unit for sabotage in the rear of the enemy.

Now their goals have become even more ambitious - the military is hunting for Russian generals. For example, in June, the colonel of the 1009th Rifle Regiment Vladimir Kuznetsov in the Belgorod region was liquidated. According to journalists, the operations are "shamans". The goals are Russian ammunition depots, refineries and communication networks.

On September 20, the GUR reported that the unknown had laid the explosives and blew the Mi-28n helicopter, as well as the IL-20 reconnaissance aircraft and transport AN-148. They were all at the strategic object - the Chkalovsky airfield. It also baseds on "Judicial Day" planes. Also in the summer four were destroyed and two more military transport planes IL-76 were damaged.

According to the representative of Gur Andriy Yusov, the planes were involved in the transfer of personnel and weapons of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and therefore they are a military goal. "Everything concerning hostile logistics, including transport aviation, must be neutralized, liquidated, disposed of until the invaders get away from our Ukrainian land," Andriy Yusov said. In addition to IL-76, strategic TU-22M3 bombers were destroyed, which the occupiers firing Ukraine.

Two were destroyed and two more were damaged. According to the head of GUR Kirill Budanova, the Russian Federation has 27 TU-22 aircraft, which are really flying. There were 31. The attacks were struck from the territory of the Russian Federation. However, it is worth making a remark that GUR is not responsible for attacks. They can be carried out by both Russian guerrillas and others are unknown.

At the end of August, it became known about the unique special operation of Ukrainian military intelligence. The military managed to lure on the side of Ukraine by a Russian officer, helicopter Maxim Kuzminov. The analogue of the operation can only be called the Israeli "Diamond" in 1966, when the Iraqi pilot stole the latest at that time the Soviet MiG-21 fighter.

The intelligence officers communicated with Kuzminov for more than 6 months, took out his family, guaranteed safety, as well as a cash remuneration. As a result, Ukraine has received Mi-8 AMSH helicopter-the most recent modernization that was not in defense. In addition, valuable details to Russian fighters - and the captain of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Maxim Kuzminov, who have important information.

In Russia, the sabotage was initially denied and argued that the board "got lost". Although landing was carried out in the Kharkiv region in N. P. Poltava. Then they stated that Kuzminov's family remained in Russia. However, as a result, the trophy Mi-8 AMTS will soon become the line of defense forces, and Maxim Kuzminov took advantage of the chance and went to the side of good, as they say in GUR.
