A White House Of Lies

Pryluky After devoting a good portion of the more than a thousand articles written from the front to debunking Russian lies, one would expect anything but the same with American ones.The lies spouted yesterday by President Donald Trump, however, are too colossal to remain silent.
Donald Trumps statements on his social network
During the White House press conference with NATO Secretary Mark Rutte, Trump denied the report from The Wall Street Journal about the United States lifting restrictions on Ukraines use of European long-range missiles to strike deep into the Russian Federation, claiming thatthe United States has nothing to do with those missiles.Regardless of whether restrictions are lifted or not, this statement is part of the same series of technical and political disinformation that has characterized the current American administration.
Trump saysI dont control their missiles.Technically, this is completely false. Storm Shadow and SCALP-EG contain critical US-sourced components, including SAASM GPS navigation chipsets (or equivalent US-supplied M-code), avionics subassemblies such as INS/IMU units, telemetry modules, some guidance ASICs, and actuators made by companies subject to ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations), as well as software including NATO-standard firmware (STANAG 3910, 4586) the export and use of which require a waiver from the US State Department.The missiles Trump callsEuropeanare not entirely so: about 15 25% of their hardware and software components are of US origin and therefore fall under ITAR regulations. For this reason,the US effectively holds a technical and legal veto over their final use. Remembering this is easy, as it was a heated debate when the previous US administration led by Joe Biden hesitated, delaying for months before granting approval for the Anglo-French supply of those vectors (which, with a nominal range of around 300 km, are notlongat all, but rather mid-range). As Alla Perdei and I have emphasized multiple times from the field in these pages, although the origin of weapons like these is European, their targeting pack (mission data cartridge) uses standardized NATO formats and depends on encryption keys provided by the US for the GPS component. Specifically, the navigation keys (P(Y)-code or M-code) are issued by the DoD. For this reason, all medium- to long-range strikes with those missiles are planned based on shared NATO/US intelligence (IMINT, SIGINT, SATINT). Also altimetric maps and digital terrain models used in mission planning are derived from databases coordinated by the US. Without access to those datasets, SCALPs and Storm Shadows would be at serious risk of colliding with the ground. Therefore,the statement I dont have control over themis technically and legally false.
This is why the export of ITAR components ergo, the delivery of those weapons required US consent in 2023.Every Western missile supplied to Ukraine with that range is tied to hardware, software, navigation, and intelligence chains that fall under NATO/US jurisdiction and supervision.One need only recall the uproar that ensued when the US suspended those services to Ukraine for approximately 48 hours (causing a fatal blackout in the midst of Operation Kursk) to understand thatall the systems, encryption keys, and firing circuit data that lead to pressing the button depend on American architectural and infrastructural control. This is why Russian authorities immediately declared that Ukraines use of those missiles was equivalent to Americas entry into the war.

Not content with that, the American president continued his show with another lie that any self-respecting engineer would have felt like a punch in the gut.Trump literally said that training the Ukrainian Armed Forces to use Tomahawk missiles takes a minimum of six months, often a year. This statement is patently false, given that Ukraine already uses very similar cruise missiles and produces others. To be clear: operating a cruise missile like SCALP/Storm Shadow, Tomahawk, Neptune, or Flamingo requires two separate blocks: planning (definition of route, waypoints, no-fly areas, penetration profiles, timing, etc.) and launch systems (as the American governmentpoints outon its official channels, the Tomahawk was designed for VLS/TT, but there are land-based launchers like the Typhon/MRC that can launch it from TEL platforms). Air-launching a Tomahawk would require aircraft integration, but Ukraine has already showcased its ability to use SCALP/Storm Shadow on Su-24Ms very quickly (the first deployments took place within days). After that, the launch process is mostly routine. Ukraine has been operating the SCALP-EG and Storm Shadow missiles for over two years with excellent results, such as the deep strike in the Briansk region, and is developing and employing both the Flamingo missile family and the R-360 Neptune, including the Long Neptune variant that entered service this year, along with land-attack versions.
The realistic training and qualification times for Ukrainian military personnel to operate subsonic cruise missiles with INS/GPS guidance and low-level profiles like the Tomahawk are therefore consistent with those of other accelerated programs already seen in Ukraines favor (HIMARS, ATACMS, and Patriot, for example). A few dozen days, nota minimum of six months, perhaps a year.The US government itselfclaimsthatwith Typhon/MRC-type land-based launchers, crews can be qualified in weeks, one or two months at most.The complexity of the operation therefore lies in the American political will to authorize the use of those missiles, not in learning how to push the button.

Without encrypted security keys, targeting data, cartographic consistency, updated terrain models, American intelligence and logistics (including depot-level maintenance, which often remains the responsibility of the supplier country), even with expertise and a mission-planning pipeline,Ukraine cannot fly American and European missiles without Washingtons approval.

谎言白宫
作者：Giorgio Provinciali
来自乌克兰的现场报道????????
普里卢基（Pryluky）我从前线撰写了一千多篇文章，在其中很大一部分用于揭穿俄罗斯的谎言之后，始料未及的是，我的文章会同样用于揭穿美国的谎言。然而，唐纳德川普总统昨天散布的谎言实在太过离谱，我不能再保持沉默。
（图：唐纳德川普发表在他的社交媒体的声明）
在与北约秘书长马克吕特举行的白宫新闻发布会上，川普否认了《华尔街日报》的报道，该报道称美国正在解除对乌克兰使用欧洲远程导弹袭击俄罗斯联邦境内目标的限制，并声称美国与这些导弹毫无关系。无论限制是否解除，这种说法都是美国现政府惯有的技术和政治虚假信息的一部分。
川普说我无法控制他们的导弹。从技术上讲，这完全是错误的。风暴之影（Storm Shadow）和斯卡普-EG（SCALP-EG）导弹包含美国来源的关键组件，包括SAASM GPS导航芯片组（或同等的美国提供的M代码）、航空电子子组件如INS/IMU单元、遥测模块、一些制导ASIC和受ITAR（国际武器贸易条例）约束的公司制造的执行器，以及软件，包括北约标准固件（STANAG 3910, 4586）这些组件的出口和使用需要获得美国国务院的豁免。川普称之为欧洲的导弹并完全如此：大约15-25%的硬件和软件组件源自美国，受ITAR法规约束。因此，美国实际上对其最终用途持有技术和法律否决权。记住这一点很容易，因为当乔拜登领导的上届美国政府犹豫不决时，这个问题曾引发了一场激烈的辩论，并拖延了几个月才批准英法两国供应这些导弹（这些导弹的标称射程约为300公里，根本不属于远程导弹，而是中程导弹）。正如阿拉佩尔德和我多次在本刊强调的那样，虽然这些武器的来源是欧洲，但它们的瞄准包（任务数据盒）使用标准化的北约格式，并依赖于美国为GPS组件提供的加密密钥。
具体来说，导航密钥（P(Y)代码或M代码）由美国国防部发布。因此，所有使用这些导弹进行的中远程打击都基于北约/美国共享情报（IMINT、SIGINT、SATINT）进行规划。此外，任务规划中使用的测高地图和数字地形模型也来源于美国协调的数据库。如果没有对这些数据集的访问权限，斯卡普和风暴之影导弹将面临与地面碰撞的严重风险。因此，我无法控制它们的说法在技术上和法律上都是错误的。
这就是为什么ITAR组件的出口也就是这些武器的交付在2023年需要获得美国的同意。提供给乌克兰的每一枚具有该射程的西方导弹都与属于北约/美国的管辖和监督之下的硬件、软件、导航和情报链条相关联。只需回忆一下美国暂停向乌克兰提供这些服务大约48小时（造成库尔斯克行动的致命瘫痪）所引起的轩然大波，就能理解所有导致按下按钮的系统、加密密钥以及发射电路数据都依赖于美国的架构和基础控制。这就是为什么俄罗斯当局立即宣布，乌克兰使用这些导弹相当于美国参战。

美国总统不满足于此，他继续了他的表演，又编造了一个谎言，任何有自尊心的工程师都会感到如鲠在喉。川普真真切切地声称，训练乌克兰武装部队使用战斧导弹至少需要六个月，通常是一年。这种说法显然是错误的，因为乌克兰已经在使用非常类似的巡航导弹，并且还在自己生产其他导弹。说白了：操作像斯卡普/风暴之影、战斧、海王星或火烈鸟这样的巡航导弹需要两个独立的模块：规划（定义路线、航路点、禁飞区、穿透剖面、定时等）和发射系统（正如美国政府在其官方渠道上指出的那样，战斧导弹最初是为VLS/TT设计的，但也存在如Typhon/MRC等陆基发射器，可以从TEL平台发射）。
如果想从空中发射战斧导弹，则需要进行飞机集成，但乌克兰已经展示了其能够非常迅速的在苏-24M上使用斯卡普/风暴之影导弹的能力（首次部署在几天之内完成）。此后，发射过程基本上是例行公事。乌克兰已经使用斯卡普-EG和风暴之影导弹超过两年，取得了优异的成绩，例如对布良斯克地区的纵深打击，并且正在开发和使用火烈鸟导弹系列和R-360海王星导弹，包括今年投入使用的远程海王星变型，以及陆攻变型。
因此，乌克兰军事人员操作具有INS/GPS制导和低空飞行剖面的亚音速巡航导弹（如战斧）的实际培训和资格达标时间与其他加速项目（例如HIMARS、ATACMS和爱国者）需要的时间一致，乌克兰有能力快速完成，几个星期，而不是至少六个月，甚至一年。美国政府本身声称，使用Typhon/MRC型陆基发射器，机组人员可以在几周内，最多一到两个月内获得资格。因此，操作的复杂性在于美国授权使用这些导弹的政治意愿，而不是学习如何按下按钮。

如果没有加密的安全密钥、目标数据、制图一致性、更新的地形模型、美国的情报和后勤（包括基地级维护，这通常仍然是供应国的责任），即使拥有专业知识和任务规划流程，未经华盛顿批准，乌克兰也无法让美国和欧洲的导弹起飞。
