In the Vietnam War and especially in the Korean War we saw Russian Pilots who "Volunteered" to aid their fraternal Social brothers in a fight against the Imperial Capitalist Forces from the West.
We know NATO troops are involved in training. I expect NATO logistics specialists are on the ground to help get equipment and ammunition and other supplies to the front as quickly as possible.
But are NATO troops on the line fighting the Russians? I have my doubts, however I will put in a rider that I do expect that NATO has inserted Special Forces behind the lines to provide scouting and intelligence.
The other interesting thing is that the Russian's are not only fighting the Ukrainian Military, but western satellites both private and government owned. Its the impossible scenario in the concept of hyper fast war and shared data links.
Clearly Russia should in fact have the same abilities, but don't seem to be doing it all that well.
As well normal prewar doctrine includes trying to spoof these satellites, blind then, even try to take them out. The Russian's haven't taken those steps maybe because they feel that it would widen the conflict if they started shooting down Western Satellites.
I wonder if the Russians really wanted to demonstrated their nuclear capability if they wouldn't consider high altitude bursts that convert to EMP that could damage Western Satellites?
