Serious national security threat" allegedly related to Russia - CNN
House Intel Committee Chair Mike Turner reveals a "serious national security threat" allegedly related to Russia (CNN).
On Wednesday, Turner released a letter regarding an urgent matter "with regard to a destabilizing foreign military capability."
One source, according to CNN, says "it is, in fact, highly concerning and destabilizing."
Turner is calling for all intelligence regarding the threat available to members of Congress.
"Today, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has made available to all Members of Congress information concerning a serious national security threat," he said.
"I am requesting that President Biden declassify all information relating to this threat so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat."
U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, announced today:
"The 'Gang of Eight,' will hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss today's 'National Security Development. At the time I'm not in a position to say anything further."
The 'Gang of Eight,' consists of bipartisan leaders from the Senate and House of Representatives, as well as other ranking members.
There are several theories about this big and serious event in the US events:
They want to do some bullshit to get around the vote on the $95 billion package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and pass it without a vote, which is still stalled and not fully voted on. It is possible that with this situation they will enable Biden to bypass the Senate and approve the aid package.
It is possible that there is some connection with Iran and not with Russia, and that Iran has officially received nuclear weapons, although it is already clear to everyone that it has them.

Given the nature of the statement, which described the intelligence as 'extremely sensitive', this new and unnamed 'Russian ability', whatever it may be, is likely an ability that the United States DO NOT currently have. Hence the need for immediate action.
Considering the fact that Russia already has nukes, chemical weapons and so on, it could be something entirely different. However, it could also be something related to nukes, like a new delivery mechanism of nuclear missiles, or ICBM interception capability (think of Reagan's failed 'Strategic Defense Initiative').
If this Russian capability is truly something that fundamentally threatens the balance of power between Russia and the U.S., we might be in for a new arms race. (@Middle_East_Spectator very good theory)

Ukrainian forces have begun training and testing exoskeletons for battlefield use. Soldiers from the 147th Separate Artillery Brigade are using them in the Pokrovsk sector for both logistics and frontline operations. The goal is to reduce physical strain, especially when loading heavy artillery shells into howitzers without automatic loaders. Artillery crews can handle up to 1200 kg of ammunition per day, and early tests show that exoskeletons help them work faster and with less fatigue Above all, by improving the conditions for those soldiers on the front lines who handle such heavy loads, plus the stress of work. Seeking to reduce overall fatigue in the troops
