The Wagner Group – GRU Hypothesis of the October 7 Attack: This military operation was brilliantly and highly professionally designed, planned, and performed. The meticulous professional planning, technical expertise in the electronic warfare, etc. exceed the Hamas capabilities by far. These signs point to the GRU, and the GRU only, in the given circumstances. It might have been the retaliation for the downing of the Alexandrov Ensemble plane and for the use of Russia as the cover in the Israeli Operation Trump – 2016. Review of Posts as of 5.11.25
