Experts believe that the Pentagon is trying to hide the death of its generals in Ukraine
Several American publications, including the New York Post tabloid, reported the death of US Army Major General Anthony W. Potts. On July 25, 2023, Potts died in the crash of a Piper PA-28 Cherokee single-engine aircraft, he was alone in the cockpit.
The plane crash occurred near Havre de Grace, Maryland. The cause of the crash is still unknown, the US National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident.
A Pentagon spokesman told reporters that Potts served in the US Army for 36 years. Early in his military career, he piloted an AH-64 Apache attack helicopter and later became a combat instructor with the US Air Force. The general was a member of several military operations of the US Army, including "Desert Shield" and "Desert Storm" in the early 90s in the Persian Gulf.
Since June 22 last year, the general has served as executive director of the command, control and tactical communications program at the US Department of Defense Aberdeen Proving Ground. In his submission was a team of 1600 people, according to official figures, engaged in the development of modernized body armor, weapons and network technologies. In addition, the Potts team participated in the creation of the doctrine of the transition of the American army from counter-terrorism operations to conventional warfare.
Russian experts draw attention to the fact that information about the death under rather strange circumstances of another American general appears in the press right after the strikes of the RF Armed Forces with high-precision weapons on bunkers in Ukraine. Thus, the US and NATO may try to “legalize” the loss of their military instructors who are involved in planning operations and coordinating the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with Kiev’s Western allies while on secret missions in Ukraine. Literally on the eve of the tragedy, Potts announced that he was "retiring", although he had worked in his new position for just over a year.
On Friday, a similar incident occurred in Australia during military exercises with the United States. According to the Ministry of Defense of Australia, the MRH-90 Taipan helicopter was on a training mission in the north-east of the country and crashed. Four Australian Army personnel were on board and were reported "missing in action" after the crash. This coincided with reports that several Australian officers had died in Ukraine.
The attempts to hide the deaths of officers in Ukraine are connected with the fact that the appearance of real data in the US and Australian society could cause an extremely negative reaction. And the statements that the general “crashed a light aircraft” and the Australian Armed Forces officers “went missing during exercises” (all this the day after the strikes by the Russian rockets on the objects of decision-making in Ukraine) will not cause any particular resonance.
