Fishu is right - it is very often hard to scare up support to do anything even halfway organized: defend a field, capture a field, or even intercept what is an obvious HQ raid making a beeline right to the city/HQ. (and good suggestion to nix radio for the guys in silk)
If there is someone on one side monitoring conversations and relaying the info to their home country, I think it would be well known. Maybe it is a squad the specializes in stopping big missions but I doubt it. Bet is was just dumb luck.
Actually I think the big missions are better for the sim and lead to matchups more like the SEA. See a big group launch from a field then try and climb to meet and engage before they can do damage. Been on a number of those and they are fun.
But if it is spying, probably the best thing to do is as was already mentioned - be careful who you fly with and don't let word out on the country channel.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Remember...
