Another thought about the Ukraine/Russia war...

 Have you guys noticed something.  I'm not talking about the actual fight between infantry, the armor, not even the artillery duels.

Have you noticed the Ukrainian missile strikes?

They're not hit or miss.  They're not "directed" by UAV, scouted by Recon or gathered from knowledge of the area.

Some of the strikes have been damn near surgical.

Those strikes have been of the quality that indicates advanced ISR capabilities that as far as I know Ukraine doesn't possess.

Additionally the strikes indicate that they've been planned to inflict maximum pain.

I have nothing else to base it on but I'm saying aloud that some of these strikes seem to be directed not by Ukrainian forces but by some skilled allied force (don't know from what country).

I'm mostly looking at the fighting around Mariupol.  They knocked out a Russian Helicopter Base?  Ok.  I get that.  But they also knocked out HQ units (if I recall correctly 4 of them)?

That smells of the type of professionalism that I haven't seen from the Ukrainians.

I know most will disagree but I believe that while we're not engaging kinetically, there are unseen hands guiding the strikes and perhaps even planning the defense.

All we've seen is Zelensky.  No military commander of note on the Ukrainian side.

Someone is in charge of the fight and it ain't the comedian turned President. He's just the figure head.

UPDATE!  I wonder if Ukrainian military leadership is even INSIDE Ukraine!  With all the strikes we've seen the Russians should have picked off at least ONE high ranking officer by now. They haven't (or it hasn't been broadcast by either side).  That tells me they're in Poland, Brussels, Berlin...hell even at the Pentagon!
