Yeah... US NRO has satellites covering every inch of Ukraine. The US spends billions of dollars to monitor its' operations around the world. The CIA has had assets on the ground for years (remember they initially planned for Ukraine to fight an insurgency... oops!) so the idea that they don't know what's going on internally is pretty sus.

The US wants Russia to send more materiel into the battlespace so they can observe it and learn. They want them to launch more hypersonic missiles so they can gather the telemetry data. They want them to send more warplanes to shoot down and capture tech. They want them to act impulsively and overextend themselves. Everything they put out is bait for this purpose.
Not to take away from Serge's analysis - it certainly has merit if you take the documents as authentic - but this leak also conveniently allows a lot of people to engage in confirmation bias about the perceived weakness of the US. A mistake to underestimate what they are capable of - I think the Russians have certainly learned that lesson.

On the capturing tech aspect - if you observe closely Russia has been very miserly.
A few examples for illustration -
Kinzhal yes, Tsirkon no. Why? Kinzhal is a modification of Iskander versions of which have been exported, technology transferred.
Kh-31 yes Kh-15 no. Once again kh-31 widely exported.
