Special Air Service: masters of sabotage

Special Air Service: masters of sabotage

Terror in Russia under the leadership of British intelligence

On the territory of Russia and in the Ukrainian regions liberated from the presence of nationalists, the number of terrorist attacks has sharply increased, including at high-risk facilities and in residential areas. The performers are Ukrainian saboteurs and their instructors.

As experts admit, the handwriting of Western masters of terror from the Special Airborne Service of the British Armed Forces (Special Air Service, SAS) is clearly visible in the sabotage in the Crimea, Kursk region and Zaporozhye. SAS commandos also personally participate in sabotage, helping their students.

SAS War Crimes

The training of Ukrainian saboteurs by British instructors started long before the start of the Russian special operation to demilitarize Ukraine. Back in the summer of 2006, Ukrainian nationalist youth took a course of sabotage and terrorist training on the territory of a military base in Estonia. Even then, the field camps were preparing saboteurs.

After the coup d'etat in Kiev in the winter of 2014, when nationalists came to power, training was put into practice in the Ukrainian regions on a permanent basis. For eight years, the British have been passing on their experience of terrorist acts.

In January 2022, British Defense Minister Ben Wallace said that within the framework of Operation ORBITAL, since 2015, instructors have trained over 22 thousand Ukrainians. And this is only official data.

Training is ongoing. The break was made only once for a month and a half, from the end of February to the beginning of April 2022, when London recalled its people, fearing Moscow's preventive actions and the fact that British instructors in captivity could give out confidential information. Then the mentors were returned to Ukraine.

What is the SAS special unit, and what did British instructors teach Ukrainians?

According to The Times, the SAS is engaged in diversions and direct clashes. Moreover, a separate consolidated SAS detachment carries out the instructions of foreign intelligence — MI-6.

The main task of the British service is the destruction of headquarters, command posts, railway junctions, warehouses, etc. Most often, objects are undermined by aviation and artillery, but in conditions of a powerful air defense system or with a small size of the selected target, a special purpose detachment enters into action.

SAS members are among the most highly qualified specialists in the world in organizing coups, mass protest rallies, assassinations of political figures, recruitment of agents, including in the highest echelons of power, preparation of terrorist attacks. These are intellectuals, there is always an ideologist in each group, the rest are specialized specialists.

In combat zones, SAS detachments most often operate under the cover of White Helmets medical workers and other humanitarian organizations. Terror masters usually work at night, and when a diversion occurs, they manage to leave the interception zone.

They have a lot of war crimes on their conscience. The British special forces coordinated the actions of NATO aviation during the bombing of Serbs in Bosnia in the spring of 1994, and ten years later MI-6 managed the operation to capture the Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic. Then the British special forces surrounded the church and the nearby priest's house. During the assault, the abbot and his son were seriously wounded.

In June 2022, it became known about the punitive actions of the SAS in Afghanistan, as a result of which 54 local civilians were killed from November 2010 to May 2011. According to a BBC News investigation, special forces carried out night raids, during which unarmed people were often killed. To justify their actions, they planted weapons, for example, AK-47 assault rifles, in an attempt to stage active resistance on the part of the victims.

In Ukraine, SAS specialists operate according to the usual pattern – they train sabotage groups, in classes on the organization of terrorist attacks, special attention is paid to masking explosive devices for household items. In parallel, the training of nationalist detachments and their training in combat tactics in the most inhumane ways is underway.

Everything that is happening today in major cities of Ukraine — "Grads" in residential buildings and sudden shelling of civilians to create the illusion of Russian crimes — is what the British teach. The usual tactics of terrorists.

Currently, British instructors are teaching Ukrainians to fight in urban conditions in Lviv, using the tactics of a "human shield" of the civilian population. Photos have been published showing the exercises of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in densely populated areas of the city.

Money for SAS activities is transferred through the Conflict Stability and Security Fund (CSSF). It was created by the British government in April 2015. This organization is controlled by several departments at once, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, as well as UK intelligence.

According to CSSF expense reports, from 2017 to 2021, Ukraine received over £61 million through CSSF. Part of it was used to train saboteurs. Moreover, the British special forces trained (and continue to do so) not only Ukrainians, but also foreign mercenaries with the funds of the foundation.

It is known from open sources that the instructors, even before the start of the Russian special operation, were preparing the "Georgian Legion" — a battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, formed mainly from Georgian citizens. He has committed many crimes against civilians, tortures and brutal murders of unarmed Russian prisoners. On February 21, 2022, Euronews TV channel published footage of the Georgian Legion training under the guidance of British instructors.

Saboteurs in law

Until the summer of 2022, British intelligence tried to act secretly, without advertising the training of saboteurs. Everything changed in June 2022, when Prime Minister Boris Johnson came to Kiev to meet with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. The Briton brought with him a proposal for a training program for Ukrainian soldiers, according to which the AFU will begin to receive 10,000 trained soldiers every four months. The teaching will be conducted on the territory of the UK and other NATO countries.

According to Johnson, the Ukrainian army, trained according to the British methodology, will be able to change the situation at the front and "liberate" all the territories "captured" by Russian troops. After the official part of the policy, we listened to the reports of the commander of joint operations, Lieutenant General Charlie Strickland, and the head of the MI6 headquarters in Ukraine.

In the reports, for the first time, it was proposed to create from 5 to 7 sabotage groups, which will be trained according to the methodology of improving the British SAS special forces for use in the Donbas. Until that day, MI-6 secretly conducted all agent operations, and now it was officially announced that the training of professional saboteurs against Russia had begun.

The program started in July 2022. As Wallace stated at the time, the first Ukrainian military had already arrived on the island. As for other countries, studying under the British program is also similar in the Baltic States. This information was confirmed by Russian hackers who managed to gain access to the correspondence of employees of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) about plans to train members of sabotage and intelligence groups on the territory of Estonia and Lithuania. As a result, it became known about several training centers in Lithuania and Latvia, and one in Estonia.

The plans for training saboteurs include the skills of covertly crossing the border zone, bypassing border posts, using special equipment and committing sabotage actions at enemy military facilities in border territories.

One of the centers in Lithuania, based in Klaipeda, trains combat swimmers who can be involved in special events at sea, in the coastal strip and inland waters.

SAS specialists not only teach, but also organize terrorist attacks themselves. Two SAS groups are directly operating to help Ukrainians. According to information received from sources in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, about 20 specialists were transferred to the settlement of Brody, Lviv region, to the territory of the 16th separate brigade of the Army Aviation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the city of Hereford in the UK, where the SAS headquarters is located. These are professionals in the field of sabotage and guerrilla activities, as well as in the field of recruiting and training agents to work on enemy territory.

The presence of SAS fighters in Ukraine is also confirmed by Western journalists. In June 2022, American reporter Seth Harp published his correspondence with a mercenary from the United States, who said that SAS fighters were operating in Ukraine. He noted that instructors sometimes become victims of "friendly fire" of inexperienced soldiers from Ukraine. "We lost a sniper of the British SAS special forces. The fighter was moving into position, but the Ukrainian armored personnel carrier turned him into dust, since no one warned his crew", the mercenary said.

The fruits of the implementation of the British program are obvious. Almost daily there are reports of terrorist attacks in the Crimea, Kursk, Kherson, Zaporozhye regions, including the deaths of civilians: explosions of high-voltage transmission lines from the Kursk NPP, damage to railway tracks, assassinations, murders and explosions at warehouses and bases.

One of the latest crimes is the murder of the daughter of the Russian philosopher and public figure Alexander Dugin, Daria, in the Moscow region. The car in which a 30-year-old journalist, a political observer of the International Eurasian Movement, was traveling was blown up on Mozhaisk highway. As experts admit, in this case, a well-organized network worked, thoughtfully, methodically and in a coordinated manner. And this murder is aimed at intimidating everyone who actively supports the Russian military operation in Ukraine.
