Cold War Boats: Revell’s Spy Trawler is for reals! Or, who told the Soviets about Exercise Teamwork?

A Soviet fishing trawler alongside its ‘mother ship’, U.S. Coast Guard photo, August 1963.

In 1964, NATO navies conducted Exercise Teamwork.  This is interesting because non-military interweb sites (like the wiki-web-sites) claim NATO’s biennial (every other year) Exercise Teamwork didn’t begin until 1982!   The proof that Exercise Teamwork actually started in 1964 comes from the declassification of a once secret NATO document.  That document was a letter of concern regarding how the Soviet Union found out about the wargame, and sent several ‘spy’ fishing trawlers to shadow the NATO navies.

The NATO letter blames it on the main stream U.S. news media, specifically Time magazine, for publishing statements made during a U.S. trial of a spy. But then, there was a journalist working for Time, who was onboard the aircraft carrier USS Independence (CVA-62) during the wargames, who claimed that somebody in NATO tipped-off the Soviets!

Apparently, NATO’s first Exercise Teamwork, off the coast of NATO Norway, was a diversion from an established NATO wargame called FALLEX (Fall [as in Autumn] Exercise).   A once secret NATO letter discussing FALLEX 62 suggested making changes for the upcoming FALLEX 64.  Apparently, FALLEX 64 became Exercise Teamwork 64, possibly because of what was publicized about the trial of a spy in the United States.

U.S. Navy film, dated 1964 and titled Exercise Teamwork, showing ‘Russian Spy Fishing Trawler’. The smoke stack on this ship is  different than the Revell kit’s stack:

But 1969 is the year the U.S. Navy really took an interest in all the Soviet fishing trawlers hanging around NATO navies, and even off the coast of the United States.

USN film, February 1969, showing Soviet ‘spy’ fishing trawlers operating off the coast of the U.S. state of Virginia, at least three different ships according to the USN info:

On 09APR1969, the USN spied on Soviet Mediterranean fleet operations, near the Rock of Gibraltar, and interestingly among all those big Soviet warships was a lone Soviet fishing trawler (you can see it as the camera pans from warship to warship), I edited for just the trawler scenes:

A May 1969 USN film documenting what was believed to be various Soviet surveillance ships, showing a similar ‘spy trawler’, with a different stack, location not indicated:

Now you know where the tech term phishing originated, Cold War era spy fishing boats, fishing for your country’s military info.

In 1970, model kit company Revell issued its Russian Spy Fishing Trawler Volga. Revell’s spy ship kit seems to combine attributes of all the trawlers seen in the USN films.

Is this the trawler the Revell kit is based on? Image taken from USN film dated February 1969.

The kit is continuously re-issued, but in 1998 the name was changed to Northsea Fishing Trawler.

Cold War & Beyond: Tupolev 16 Badger

Tupolev 16, NATO reporting name Badger.

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

The prototype of the Soviet Tu-16 was the Tu-88, which first flew in Spring 1952, production of the Tu-16 began in December 1952. China still produces its own version.

Silent Soviet films, from 1957, showing-off their new Tupolev 16:

On 25MAY1968, the U.S. Navy (USN) carrier group led by USS Essex CVS-9 was ‘badgered’ by several Soviet aircraft, including variants of the Tu-16, while sailing through the Norwegian Sea.  It ended badly for one hot-shot Badger.

Silent USN film of Tu-16 Badger C:

Silent USN film of Badger C and Badger G:

A Badger gets danger-close to the USS Essex, while other Badgers fly at sea level:

The USN claimed one of the hot-shot Badgers crashed while sea skimming, and USN Sea Kings were dispatched to rescue the Soviet Tu-16 crew.  The silent, and faded, film shows a Tu-16 buzzing USS Essex, then on the horizon can barely be seen the smoke plume of the crashed Badger, other Tu-16s continue to overfly CVS-9:

Unfortunately the Badger crew did not survive, what was recovered by the USN was handed over to a Soviet Kotlin class destroyer with the hull number of 311, which had pulled along side the USS Essex:

After taking on the bodies of the Badger crew, hull number 311 gives a salute with its main guns, and sails away:

Biden’s War: 1st permanent U.S. base in NATO Poland!

30 July 2022  (22:22-UTC-07 Tango 06) 08 Mordad 1401/01 Muharram 1444/02 Ding-Wei (7th month) 4720

How many times has U.S. led NATO sworn that it is not expanding towards Russia? The first ever permanent U.S. military base in NATO Poland now has an official name: Camp Kościuszko.

On 29JUN2022, U.S. President Joseph Robinette Biden Junior announced that a once temporary (used for rotational troop deployments) U.S. base in Poland would become permanent (meaning there will be a permanent U.S. military presence), making it the nearest U.S. base, in Europe, to Russia.

U.S. Army Photo by Specialist Garrison Waites, 30JUL2022.

U.S. Army video by Specialist Devin Klecan, official base naming ceremony:

On 30JUL2022, a ceremony was held in Poland, announcing a name for the new U.S. base, named after Tadeusz Kościuszko, a Polish-Lithuanian military officer who joined the American Revolution against the British Empire in June 1776.  After the war that created  the United States, General Kościuszko returned to Poland in August 1784.

World War 3:  U.S./NATO “NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECT” IN UKRAINE!

World War 3: U.S./NATO “no significant effect” in Ukraine!

24 June 2022  (14:20-UTC-07 Tango 06) 03 Tir 1401/24 Dhu l-Qa’da 1443/26 Bing-Wu 4720

“Let me remind you that three types of 155-mm artillery are already working successfully on the front lines: M777 howitzers, FH70 howitzers and CAESAR SPHs. It was simply impossible to imagine this back in March. But today it is already a reality which materialized due to great teamwork led by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.”-Ministry of  Defence of Ukraine propaganda, 28MAY2022, proven by Austrian military academy analysts to be a failure

More proof that United States President Joseph R. Biden Junior has still not delivered on his promise of rocket artillery, like the MLRS and HIMARS, and that artillery gun systems, like the old M109 and newer M777, cannot out distance the Russian systems. In an earlier article it was pointed out that the M777 towed guns were delivered without the equipment that will allow it to fire longer range ammo.

Only NATO Germany’s PanzerHaubite (PzH) 2000, and NATO France’s CAESAR (CAmion Equipé d’un Système d’ARtillerie), are the only artillery systems delivered to Ukraine, so far, that can outrange the Russian systems.  However, the numbers of PzH 2000 and CAESARs promised are just a piddly fraction of what Ukraine needs, and have yet to be delivered.

Video posted 22JUN2022, showing Russian ‘V’ (?, maybe Z) forces using an old-skool Cold War era towed rocket launcher against Ukrainian forces in Ugledar area:

Some NATO countries are sending more artillery systems, but they are the old Soviet era systems, like the 2S1 and 2S3, which do not give Ukraine a tactical advantage.

Music video, posted 09JUN2022, of Cold War era BM-27 220mm Uragan rocket launcher being used by Russian ‘Z’ forces against Ukraine:

Russian ground forces are so not worried about the U.S./NATO artillery ‘support’, that they themselves are using outdated artillery systems against Ukraine. This video was posted on 23JUN2022, showing Russians using Cold War era 152mm towed guns and BM-21 rocket launchers:

Another major problem for the U.S./NATO is that many of the delivered weapon systems (like the Javelin) were captured by Russian forces and are now being used by them against Ukraine!

The Österreichs Bundesheer (Austrian Federal-army) Theresian Military Academy critiques the U.S./NATO weapon systems being sent to Ukraine, pointing out that the amount are far below what Ukraine actually needs, and Ukrainians are not being properly trained on these weapons, resulting in “no significant effect on the battlefield” for Ukraine:

Austria is not a member of NATO but does take part in NATO’s Partnership for Peace operations.

Canada is a founding member of NATO, and Canada is part of the Commonwealth of Nations (aka British empire, most Commonwealth of Nations members use an image of the British monarch on their currency).

He was in town to inspect the headquarters of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (aka NorAD, Nor=North, A=American or Aerospace[?], D=Defense, and for some reason they leave off the C.  Formerly known as North American Air Defense Command.)  NorAD is a joint operation between Canada and the United States.  Since 1958, NorAD’s purpose is to defend against enemy airborne attacks, mainly from Soviet Union, then so-called terrorists flying airliners, and now Russia.

NorAD’s headquarters, in the U.S. state of Colorado, is also known as Cheyenne Mountain. The last time a Canadian PM visited Cheyenne Mountain was in 1977, and guess who it was, Justin Pierre James Trudeau’s father Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau (aka Pierre Trudeau)!

In May 2022, Canadian officials said they will increase taxpayer spending not only on NorAD, but on NATO as well.

In April 2022, Canadian officials said they are willing to spend CA$1-billion (US$780-million) of their taxpayer’s money to help build NorAD’s new over-the-horizon, Russia facing, radar system in the Arctic region.

U.S. control of NorAD is handled through U.S. Northern Command (USNorthCom).

There are reports that Russia has amassed more than 20 battalions(?) for a major offensive in Donbass.

There are reports that Ukraine has received U.S. designed, NATO modified, M109 self propelled artillery guns, apparently from several NATO members (possibly Denmark and Norway).  Ukrainian officials refused to say how many.  An undisclosed amount of 155mm ammo was also received.

There are reports that Ukraine has received several Polish made Krab self propelled artillery guns.  Reportedly, Polish news media says 18 Krabs were delivered, the Ukrainian crews were trained in NATO Poland.

Austria (Österreich) is a member of NATO’s so-called peacekeeping operations known as Partnership for Peace, but its State Treaty forbids joining a military alliance.

The Österreichs Bundesheer (Austrian FederalArmy) is closely following combat tactics employed by both Russia and Ukraine. They are then presenting their analysis on social media. Their latest presentation on Donbass reveals, in the middle of the report, that U.S. supplied M777 artillery is incomplete, not allowing Ukrainians to use the more advanced and accurate projectiles.  Also, it appears that Ukrainian soldiers in the Donbass have been abandoned by their government, as revealed by the first known cases of combat fatigue, caused by lack of supplies and replacements. The analyst goes on to quote the Wall Street Journal, which revealed that the administration of U. S. President Joseph R. Biden Junior is constantly changing its mind about promised military help over concerns Ukraine will use them to attack Russia directly:

It was revealed, on 14APR2022, that the U.S. military is now spending U.S. taxpayers’ money on purchasing food directly from European NATO members!  It is known as the Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement (ACSA), and the first deliveries of food went to the Sailors and Marines onboard the USS Ross (DDG 71) and USS Roosevelt (DDG 80).  The ACSA began in March, U.S. Navy officials blame it on government Pandemic Mandates which are interfering with globalized supply systems: “Due to time constraints and unique global supply chain challenges, the ACSAs to procure food entirely through our NATO Allies were crucial to our acquisition strategy to keep our ships in foreign waters at an optimal fill levels to maintain readiness and the health and well-being of personnel.”-Captain Douglas S. MacKenzie, U.S. Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella

DANA AND THE NEW ZUZANA

Ethiopia invades Korea?

“We knew there was going to be sacrifice. But this sacrifice was not for nothing. It was for peace and liberty. My friends, they gave their lives for history and for the freedom of human beings…. In America, young people are going to forget the Korean War…”-Melesse Tessema, Kagnew Battalions veteran

Back when the Horn of Africa country of Ethiopia was still ruled by a monarchy, and having survived the Italian occupation during the Second World War, they decided it would be fun to join the new United Nations (UN) in its ‘police action’ in the divided East Asian country of Korea.

U.S. Army photo, 1951.

The Ethiopian troops sent to Korea were called the Kagnew Battalions.  It was the first time Ethiopians were involved in combat outside of their country.  It was also the first time Ethiopian soldiers encountered snow and ice: “I remember the snow and the cold. We were really suffering in the war because of the cold.”-Asfaw Abebe, Kagnew Battalions veteran

Apparently, of all the UN allied nations volunteering to go to Korea, Ethiopia was the first (besides the U.S.) to send complete battalion sized elements.  However, they were equipped with ‘new’ U.S. (World War Two surplus) weapons and vehicles: “We went with Americans to the front line and fought together. From that, we helped a great nation, Korea, to survive…. When you went on patrol, you depended on (U.S.) support for artillery and air support…. The longest fight I saw was Triangle Hill, almost a month we were fighting on that one, you could see bodies rolling down to the bottom. A great fight was done there. We fought continuously day and night.”-Yilma Belachew, Kagnew Battalions veteran

During that ‘police action’ all UN allied vehicles were marked with white stars, U.S. style.  U.S. Army silent film, by Sergeant T. Lau, showing Kagnew Battalions inspecting their U.S. taxpayer funded jeeps, August 1951:

According to United Kingdom sources, more than 3-thousand Ethiopians went to Korea, more than 120 were killed, more than 5-hundred were wounded.

This Arirang News video report says the actual number of Ethiopians who fought in Korea is 6-thousand (despite the official number being accepted as 3,520), and that South Korea is sending taxpayer funding to help build infrastructure projects in Ethiopia:

Even communist North Korea does business with Ethiopia, yearly exports hit 15-million U.S. dollars worth in 2012!

Korean news sources say the Ethiopians began arriving in April 1951. They took part in 236 battles and claimed victory in every one. They ended the war without one Ethiopian becoming a PoW (prisoner of war).
