My thought is that these are genuine documents but intended to mislead. They paint a dismal picture of the UAF, with the obvious omission of a real casualty figure.

My thought is that these are genuine documents but intended to mislead. They paint a dismal picture of the UAF, with the obvious omission of a real casualty figure. They hint that there are few NATO personnel in theatre and that NATO has little real idea of what is going on. They provide detail on the destination of weapon systems publically announced as being delivered - and to that extent can be cross checked. I doubt they provide any information not already known to Russian Military Intelligence who would not accept them at face value anyway. However in my view they have the purpose of deliberately giving an over weak view of UAF capabilities. There are a number of reasons why this might have been done - ie to encourage more $ down the black hole. The timing is suspicious too. I wonder if the real target audience is bloggers like us who hold more realistic opinions on the course of the war and so provide confirmation bias? Won't we be disappointed when the UAF offensive actually succeeds???
Of course, they could be genuine and a real and embarrassing leak. But who and why?
