A major problem too is the corruption in the Russian army resulting in ignored commands and faulty equipment since many commanders had freedom to act as they please and use their soldiers as they see fit which they want to keep, also some soldiers or commanders make a profit selling wires, components and stuff from unused equipment and could only be noticed when it wouldn´t work mid-war. The main takeaway from this war is that corruption, undiscipline and definitely a lot of other problems in their military can be lethal in any.

Bro your comment is 30 minutes old and Ukraine has just seized part of the highway between Svatove and Kremmina. Like... It's just unbelievable. Now he says that it's hard for Ukraine to counterattack in winter. And while that's true, having self propelled artillery move from one position to another is even more vital. They further they can get, the better. Plus the Russians are poorly equipped for the cold despite them being subject to extreme temperatures yearly. Unbelievable.
People in the west aren't really aware of this but in the former USSR the best scientist, manufacturing centers, officers, pilots and military personel in general were Ukrainians.
Ukraine had smart people in the USSR. Still the USSR is to far to corrupt to work. Even though Ukraine is a corrupt country unfortunately, they are less corrupt in Russia. Russia has no business being there, and they will be ousted very soon.
This war has made America more powerful. Its taught them so much. Their grip on the world has dramatically increased for many reasons. Other powers have realised how far behind they are. China, Russia etc....not even in the same league. I'm not American btw but I'm able to see the wood for the trees
America is not perfect, it has done some questionable things over the years. But now that America is being compared to Russia’s invasion and China’s belligerence, America is looking better than ever. Plus, Ukraine’s war performance has taught the world that America is stronger than they thought. That means power.
The world is realizing what most of us knew. We all knew Russia was weak as is north korea and Iran. No one had the guts to call em out so reality did it for us.
Considering that the USA will likely be able to supply the Ukrainian military with winter gear better than Russia can supply its forces, Ukraine may be able to gain even more ground with the ground frozen enough to support vehicles.
It's quite ironic that Russia, whose winter has famously saved the country during multiple wars, would now be insufficient in supplying its own forces with winter gear. However, it has been insufficient in supplying it's troops with any gear so far, so I do not doubt that this can happen.
@@AfrinonM well they lost in the winter war against Finland well they won but gain so little territory and didnt gain its goal but Finland had to give some of its territory
Yup. Commentators keep talking about Ukraine needing to take advantage of this window of opportunity before winter and/or before the new Russian draftees show up in bulk. As poorly motivated, trained, and equipped as this new batch is going to be, I think a winter campaign against a gaggle of frost bitten civilians with rusty AKs they don’t know how to use WILL BE a window of opportunity.
The proxy war the US is fighting is a win-win for them. They get to test their new equipment without personnel risk AND they get to destroy Russian weapons and decimate the Russian army with impunity. While Russia is expending its men and weaponry on this war of attrition with Ukraine, the US and its allies remain strong and casualty-free. I see this more like the US sending A.I. forces to fight against Russia on their behalf. And the Ukrainians are more than willing to sacrifice their own lives for a just cause. This is a good PR move for the Americans. Already, they are seen as generous benefactors who are helping the little guys fight a hostile and powerful enemy.
Imagine being the second most powerful nation in the world, and then getting vibe checked by a nation who didn’t even wanna fight. That’s like the bully getting knocked out and robbed by the quiet kid after trying to take his lunch money Edit: I see that I have sparked a war, oh sorry, military operation in the comment section below. Guys: Russia SHOULD be deadly, but it isn't. That being said they are extremely capable with nuclear weapons and cyber warfare Ukraine received support but only because of how they chose to react to the conflict, so it's still Ukraine's victory
It’s a bit different. Ukraine has received tens of billions of dollars worth of military aid from NATO countries, especially the USA. Also there have been thousands of “volunteers” from NATO countries that joined Ukraines forces. Russia isn’t fighting Ukraine, it’s fighting Nato
@@robcubed9557 exactly, Russia is technically fighting nato. The reality is that Ukraine would have lost already if was not for the support it's getting.
I am still amazed and impressed how quickly the Ukrainians have adapted and learned how to use the weapons given to them! They are inspiring and their will is so strong. What an example for all to witness.
After that humiliating defeat in 2014, not to mention the Holodomor in which millions of Ukrainians starved to death under Stalin, they're highly motivated to not let stuff like that happen again. And with Russian soldiers committing war crimes to Ukrainian civilians in areas they occupy, it further gives the Ukrainians more reason to push the orcs out of their country.
Your team's videos are very good! After this war, there will be some amazing works (books, papers) coming out of analyzing this war. The Ukrainian's ability to fight (with help by NATO's contribution of weapons and intelligence) to halt Russia's advances is just one for the books. Lots of lessons to learn here.
Just in time! Infographics I have been waiting for someone to explain how the Ukrainian military is so effective in the counteroffensive and I wished the infographics show would do it and my wish came through! Thanks...
What a great video. I have watched all of the major networks and listened to all of the pundits. None of them came close to explaining things as well as your video. Thank you.
Right way of spelling would be "Butcher of Bu[t]cha" (ukr. "Буча"). Victims of Bucha will be revenged as well as victims of Irpin, Hostomel, Izym (which is already liberated to) and Mariupol. Thousands of people were tortured and murdered just because of their nationality. Ukraine will prevail. P.S. Never miss an opportunity to thank citizens of Western countries for their support. Thank you from all of Ukrainians! We will never forget who helped us in such a horrible time. Special thanks to Infographics Show for spreading word of truth about this war.
And never forget to congratulate Ukrainians for their exceptionnal bravery. By invading Ukraine, Putin also wanted to show that the West don't have the will to protect it's friends ; and their allies themselves are cowards. Too bad, Putin over estimated the myth he has created.
No need to thank us, it's normal we help you guys. Also, I've head this year some organisations in Poland want to include Ukrainian flags in March of Independence (November 11th). Well, it would be amazing if you could remove all moskals from your territory until that day :D
Just a reminder that the PLA operates on similar doctrines. Ultimately, the command structure and tactics are what are winning this war for the Ukrainians. Ukrainian forces have focused on exploiting as many shortcomings and gaps in the Russian army. After that they seem to be doing devastating counteroffensives once Russian forces have been "softened."
China would also suffer from many of the shortcomings of Russia in terms of training and equipment. Milspec in the West means built to a set standard by the lowest bidder. Milspec in China means built as cheaply as possible by the person with the most connections to the government. I also have heard many stories on "The China Show" about how the PLA basically pretends to train its infantry and how common it was for pilots and such to die in training accidents due to either faulty equipment or more likely pilot error due to poor training. The only real advantage the PLA has over western militaries is numbers and even that wasnt enough for the USSR during WWII without lots of external help.
@@josephvanas6352 There is a deep-rooted obedience to authority, age, and hierarchy in Eastern culture though. Lack of standards may be their downfall, but obedience will make it a harder fight.
@@josephvanas6352 Don't forget, in the Korean War that year, China only used the army to defeat it, and the United Nations, the United Nations, land, and air forces led by the United States, had to grow wise if they suffered losses, otherwise, we would be pigs
Conman’s structure and tactics don’t move much without logistics, intel, and weapons. Having access to western supply, weapons, intel, and advice is decisive in this conflict. Without the west, what you are seeing isn’t possible regardless of command structure or tactics.
I am going to the comment section and I am noticing so many comments of people saying it's propaganda. It's not propaganda if it's the truth!!! I'm assuming these comments are coming from people from Russia or China hahahhaha. Slava Ukraine
Super pro Ukraine side speaking. Its propaganda but mostly accurate. Ukraine has been pushing out Russia which is super exciting. We also have to temper our expectations. Ukraine will need alot more aid from my country and many others before this is over. Russia has low moral and logistical issues but if they meet their 300k mobilization then they doubled their troop count. Not all russians are against the war either. They also have 1000s of tanks in storage still. Russia will try to make this a war of attrition. Ukraine needs the tools to win without taking to many casualties
@@JoshDaGreat16 I sincerely hope they don't get that many men for the war and it ends in Putin's defeat. If A democratic government comes to power in Russia it will be an asset to the free world. I just hope someone somehow kicks this authoritarian regime out.
It is amazing in the fact that Russia is losing a CONVENTIONAL war against Ukraine. This is a straight fight with uniformed armies on the field, established front lines and controlled territories.
Hopefully not too proud for what grim outcome would come when the big red button was pushed and we are all like, "Ukraine's counteroffensive is successful." And others are like, "I don't think so."
@@maddog980 HAHAHAHAHA so all America has to do is send Ukraine weapons to beat Russia hahahahahahha don't even need to send own troops ahhhahaha how sad russia is
I think motivation certainly a large factor, but also, the Ukrainian army now also has volunteers from a non-military background. Smart people like engineers, who have a different, often creative, non-military approach, this makes it more difficult for the opponent to predict what they will do.
@@wice9970 The people of Ukraine have proven they will use the weapons given to them exceptionally, with will and determination. I am happy to have my tax dollars go to helping them win this war against tyranny.
Russia being Russia. -Loses 20000 tanks at the start of ww2. -mauled by the Napoleon in most field battles. -knocked out of WW1 by the Germans. But it's still "surprising" when Russia loses due to mostly the same reasons of corruption, oligarchy, poor leadership every time. It takes more than vodka memes and babushka to win a war.
I really appreciate you & all the time that goes into each episode of the info graphics videos❣️ I watch you guys nearly every day at some point & have been surprised how accurate you’ve been. Thank you so much for being a such a rich source of information
Intelligence is what’s winning the counteroffensive in Ukraine’s favor, the intelligence that’s giving to Ukraine is being updated in real time by U.S. and Finish satellites this is a major blow to logistics for Russians.
Keep in mind, the technology and weapons we’re giving them now, are not up to date and the most recent or elite models. And better weapons than the weapons and tech we have on our own ships, planes, tanks, subs and what not, are likely already being developed or already in testjng
you said it. its a testing ground for new weapons;) at the same time ukraina is building up an extreme debt. so IF they win they will be in debt for generation to come. the help they get is NOT free
One of the reasons for Russia's lack of sophisticated weaponry is that such weaponry is heavily reliant on modern electronics. Russia's access to such devices is limited by export embargoes and sanctions, so it has struggled to design and build equipment which can match what the West can supply to Ukraine.
1:28 Saying this as an American, we should really be the last nation to deride/mock ANY other nation’s military for leaving a bonanza of expensive weaponry & equipment behind to fall into enemy hands.
@@heh650 Just bcoz some people from India support Russia in RUclips comments, doesn't mean everyone from India supports Russia 😅. In India there are 3 opinions on this matter. 1. Against war i.e. Stay neutral and request for peace(just like Indian government, taking absolutely no sides) 2. Support Ukraine 3. Support Russia(usually this happens bcoz of lack of complete knowledge as to why this all is happening).
I think the value of motivation is sometimes underrestimated. You can have so many men and guns, if they have no motive, no goal they fight for, it is useless.
The bravery and determination of the Ukrainian people continues to impress and inspire. Proud our tax dollars can at least in some small part help arm your heroes. Truly wish for a freed Ukraine, hoping we can step up our aid even more so you can achieve victory quicker and save more heroes lives!
The US each year has an enormous amount of allocations to arm friendly democracies. But it's not really needed elsewhere outside of Ukraine AND the Ukrainians are maybe the first partners, ever, to really be motivated to stand and fight. The USA still has lots of money and arms to give, lend-lease 2.0 just kicked in a few days ago.
Why would America have to get involved when Ukrainians are more than capable with American technology? We should not have to sacrifice what our tax payers have already provided, we provide the means, Ukraine provides the labor that's a fair exchange to me.
I love that we're finally supporting a country that 1) See's themselves as a nation-state 2) is willing to fight for their own survival This makes all of our interventionist wars Vietnam on forward look like complete misguided boon doggles.
I think the U.S. should consider indirect, personnel military support. We need a corps of professional soldiers similar in nature to the French or Spanish Foreign Legions - a force not directly under U.S., or even NATO, auspice. This force would operate completely independant of such and would therefore have no direct military support. In other words, it would be a likely suicide mission, and I don't think any U.S. parent would be in favor of their child joining such a force.
It’s amazing isn’t it? We’re so powerful that we can demolish another nuclear powers military on the other side of the world, without a single one of our guys pulling the trigger.
The fighting will continue through winter but rather than brigade and battalion strategy will switch to light assault with the destruction or capture of enemy equipment and personnel being the tactical objective along with harassment.
What I mainly heard out of the whole video is ukraine is fighting smarter not harder. Also I do hope in the end everything works out for the best, in the sense that as little lifes are taken as possible by the end.
I’m no war strategist whatsoever. I’m curious though. What would happen if a mass exodus of russians who are drafted turn on their own and fight for Ukraine? With such low morale and desperation to not be at war, I wonder if some would or have already considered switching sides mid-war. Especially if those forced to be there already had low loyalty to begin with.
Hmm, I’d say it’s plausible if they had nothing back home. Something might happen to them or their family’s and that wouldn’t sit well with most of them.
@@Mason-wk5cf Very true. A lot have family in Ukraine too, with so many POW I can’t help but think at least a few have flipped. I have zero factual evidence to back that part up though so it’s just a theory
That's considered going awol, they can probably get court martialed (if that exist in Russia) intel would be used against their former allies to varied effects. (They could probably bargain to even spare their allies, end just held them as POW) it happened quite a few times before, so who know... Considering the state in Russia right now. It might happen
In the Kherson region Russia actually helped with it's own demise by moving in extra troops into a situation where everybody announced for months that Ukraine would cut off all supply lines and then put pressure on the defender. They are now in a situation where the reinforcements eat more food so get less ammo.
that is false. No Russians have been taken prisoner or surrounded, the break out in the river was caused by insufficient troop concentrations and a long front line. That has since been remedied with a shorter line in the short term, and, in the long term, the tripling of the force will permit a push out of that area towards Nikolaev and Krivoy Rog.
@@lordhighexecutioner when they do these prisoner swaps it means there are pow's... in general. How the tactical situation goes doesn't matter much, in the long run Russia can not supply the Kherson area and Nova Kakhovna will be taken, also blocking again freshwater supply to Crimea. Kerch bridge will soon be 100% cut off, and then the situation really becomes difficult even for Melitopol.
Thats reason number one for sure but dont forget that beside the western weapons and training the intel and tactics they combined is a important part of it also.
Small little correction. Azatbek Asanbekovich Omurbekov (and his brigade) is The Butcher of Bucha. Not to deminish Vlad's blood thirst in any way, still one of the worst humans to exist. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Let this be a lesson to Russia and it's allies. The United States of America and it's allies will not tolerate any aggression against a nation seeking Democracy.
And i also believe that ukraines offensive are very effective because the moral is far higher and Russia and they know that if Russia wins all of them probably dies or becomes slaves to the Russians, ukraine standing Together and united i hope Ukraine becomes a part of Nato 🇧🇻♥️🇺🇦✌️ they really deserves membership
The most iconic moment that will make me even more proud of Ukraine is when I'll see the news saying "Ukrainian forces have entered Crimea". Liberated after 8 years of illegal occupation, that'd be a badass move!
You forgot the french caesar artillery. Very mobile units. They shot from further than the russia artillery, precision at 1 meter, and those vehicules moove away even before their shoot have touch the ground. Making them very hard to be attack back by the russian artillery
Don't underestimate the power of morale and determination. Someone fighting for their life will always be more dangerous than one fighting because they're told to
The amount that not only Doug, but his entire community, has helped this adorable sea otter eat all the shrimp she wants is truly amazing. Honestly one of my favorite creators on the platform. O:-) >:-O
Part about Himars Munitions is wrong. US and allies only confirmed and gave Ukraine short range missiles for Himars 70-80Km max range. ATCAMS 300km range missile use hasn’t been confirmed. US denied supplying it.
If one statement can crystallize an entire country unified in a war, this would be it. Modern war has become too costly to fight for a number of reasons, but if it comes to pass, one can hope a stout people will rise up to execute the good fight. Churchill said it in a form or fashion, and look what happened. FDR said similarly, and America decided to kick tail in *two* directions at once, not just one.
I have this feeling that fighting might not die down in the winter as they might try and use that for a surprise attack also considering that they seem to be using the same tactics the Soviet Union did in ww2
russia had home turf and the superior supply chain at the time, they def do not now so i don't see them trying much, Ukraine might tho. prob just use the time to better train their 300k mobilization or whatever he ends up with

Now he says that it's hard for Ukraine to counterattack in winter. And while that's true, having self propelled artillery move from one position to another is even more vital. They further they can get, the better. Plus the Russians are poorly equipped for the cold despite them being subject to extreme temperatures yearly. Unbelievable.
People in the west aren't really aware of this but in the former USSR the best scientist, manufacturing centers, officers, pilots and military personel in general were Ukrainians.
Pretty sure it was The Nazis? I mean, NASAs background doesn't look to swell
This is correct.
More like most of the USSR leaders and NKVD officers during Stalin's purges were Ukrainians.
Yet the technology they are using are from 1990's US. They must have migrated I suppose.
Ukraine had smart people in the USSR. Still the USSR is to far to corrupt to work. Even though Ukraine is a corrupt country unfortunately, they are less corrupt in Russia. Russia has no business being there, and they will be ousted very soon.
This war has made America more powerful. Its taught them so much. Their grip on the world has dramatically increased for many reasons. Other powers have realised how far behind they are. China, Russia etc....not even in the same league. I'm not American btw but I'm able to see the wood for the trees
America is not perfect, it has done some questionable things over the years. But now that America is being compared to Russia’s invasion and China’s belligerence, America is looking better than ever. Plus, Ukraine’s war performance has taught the world that America is stronger than they thought. That means power.
The world is realizing what most of us knew. We all knew Russia was weak as is north korea and Iran. No one had the guts to call em out so reality did it for us.
all the way Ukraine! it brighten my day, everyday hearing the Ukrainians' victories & progress.. 🇺🇦
Considering that the USA will likely be able to supply the Ukrainian military with winter gear better than Russia can supply its forces, Ukraine may be able to gain even more ground with the ground frozen enough to support vehicles.
It's quite ironic that Russia, whose winter has famously saved the country during multiple wars, would now be insufficient in supplying its own forces with winter gear. However, it has been insufficient in supplying it's troops with any gear so far, so I do not doubt that this can happen.
Also Scandinavian/Baltic countries that have already transferred winter gears.
@@AfrinonM well they lost in the winter war against Finland well they won but gain so little territory and didnt gain its goal but Finland had to give some of its territory
Yup. Commentators keep talking about Ukraine needing to take advantage of this window of opportunity before winter and/or before the new Russian draftees show up in bulk. As poorly motivated, trained, and equipped as this new batch is going to be, I think a winter campaign against a gaggle of frost bitten civilians with rusty AKs they don’t know how to use WILL BE a window of opportunity.
Russia is telling all these conscripts to bring their own equipment if they have any.
The US finally has an ally who will take their equipment but actually stand and fight.
take their money also XD
No more corporate wars overseas wasting American tax dollars
Ukraine is the first country to be sensed by the Ys in military equipment since south Vietnam and before during ww2 the Soviet Union and china
@CrazyLegsMcGee Russia isn’t attacking the US
The proxy war the US is fighting is a win-win for them. They get to test their new equipment without personnel risk AND they get to destroy Russian weapons and decimate the Russian army with impunity.
While Russia is expending its men and weaponry on this war of attrition with Ukraine, the US and its allies remain strong and casualty-free.
I see this more like the US sending A.I. forces to fight against Russia on their behalf. And the Ukrainians are more than willing to sacrifice their own lives for a just cause. This is a good PR move for the Americans. Already, they are seen as generous benefactors who are helping the little guys fight a hostile and powerful enemy.

@@NoBreakz All of this has been mentioned in the media where I live.
It is not Ukraine fighting, it is the world altogether.
They're driven, they've got something worth fighting for which is great.
After that humiliating defeat in 2014, not to mention the Holodomor in which millions of Ukrainians starved to death under Stalin, they're highly motivated to not let stuff like that happen again. And with Russian soldiers committing war crimes to Ukrainian civilians in areas they occupy, it further gives the Ukrainians more reason to push the orcs out of their country.
Your team's videos are very good! After this war, there will be some amazing works (books, papers) coming out of analyzing this war. The Ukrainian's ability to fight (with help by NATO's contribution of weapons and intelligence) to halt Russia's advances is just one for the books. Lots of lessons to learn here.
Well done! As always, explained well.
Just in time! Infographics I have been waiting for someone to explain how the Ukrainian military is so effective in the counteroffensive and I wished the infographics show would do it and my wish came through! Thanks...
Love your informative style and non bias look
What a great video. I have watched all of the major networks and listened to all of the pundits. None of them came close to explaining things as well as your video. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing content on the Brothers War.
Right way of spelling would be "Butcher of Bu[t]cha" (ukr. "Буча").
Victims of Bucha will be revenged as well as victims of Irpin, Hostomel, Izym (which is already liberated to) and Mariupol. Thousands of people were tortured and murdered just because of their nationality.
Ukraine will prevail.
P.S.
Never miss an opportunity to thank citizens of Western countries for their support. Thank you from all of Ukrainians! We will never forget who helped us in such a horrible time.
Special thanks to Infographics Show for spreading word of truth about this war.
The West stands behind you. I wish we would send you more weapons, but your country is making good use of what it gets.
And never forget to congratulate Ukrainians for their exceptionnal bravery.
By invading Ukraine, Putin also wanted to show that the West don't have the will to protect it's friends ; and their allies themselves are cowards.
Too bad, Putin over estimated the myth he has created.
You are welcome bro...but thank you from my side showing us democracy is still alive
No need to thank us, it's normal we help you guys. Also, I've head this year some organisations in Poland want to include Ukrainian flags in March of Independence (November 11th). Well, it would be amazing if you could remove all moskals from your territory until that day :D
Just a reminder that the PLA operates on similar doctrines. Ultimately, the command structure and tactics are what are winning this war for the Ukrainians. Ukrainian forces have focused on exploiting as many shortcomings and gaps in the Russian army. After that they seem to be doing devastating counteroffensives once Russian forces have been "softened."
So you're saying China could never match America? I agree they couldn't do much with a Dollar General army.
China would also suffer from many of the shortcomings of Russia in terms of training and equipment. Milspec in the West means built to a set standard by the lowest bidder. Milspec in China means built as cheaply as possible by the person with the most connections to the government. I also have heard many stories on "The China Show" about how the PLA basically pretends to train its infantry and how common it was for pilots and such to die in training accidents due to either faulty equipment or more likely pilot error due to poor training. The only real advantage the PLA has over western militaries is numbers and even that wasnt enough for the USSR during WWII without lots of external help.
@@josephvanas6352 There is a deep-rooted obedience to authority, age, and hierarchy in Eastern culture though. Lack of standards may be their downfall, but obedience will make it a harder fight.
@@josephvanas6352 Don't forget, in the Korean War that year, China only used the army to defeat it, and the United Nations, the United Nations, land, and air forces led by the United States, had to grow wise if they suffered losses, otherwise, we would be pigs
Conman’s structure and tactics don’t move much without logistics, intel, and weapons. Having access to western supply, weapons, intel, and advice is decisive in this conflict. Without the west, what you are seeing isn’t possible regardless of command structure or tactics.
Thanks.
Good coverage of this topic.
I am going to the comment section and I am noticing so many comments of people saying it's propaganda. It's not propaganda if it's the truth!!! I'm assuming these comments are coming from people from Russia or China hahahhaha. Slava Ukraine
Super pro Ukraine side speaking. Its propaganda but mostly accurate. Ukraine has been pushing out Russia which is super exciting. We also have to temper our expectations. Ukraine will need alot more aid from my country and many others before this is over. Russia has low moral and logistical issues but if they meet their 300k mobilization then they doubled their troop count. Not all russians are against the war either. They also have 1000s of tanks in storage still. Russia will try to make this a war of attrition. Ukraine needs the tools to win without taking to many casualties
@4:32 with Ukraine vs Russia, it's Quality vs Quantity, respectively.

I think motivation certainly a large factor, but also, the Ukrainian army now also has volunteers from a non-military background. Smart people like engineers, who have a different, often creative, non-military approach, this makes it more difficult for the opponent to predict what they will do.

Well this is the moment when not only your country but also the region of your hometown Kharkiv is mentioned in world history books!
I took part in training Ukrainian military when I was stationed in Romania. Pretty neat knowing I got to take part in it.
It's now just offensive operations. Liberating their people, but it's no longer just a countervailing attack.
So….Ukraines counteroffensive is basically American tech and German battle doctrine mixed together. Love to see it 😎
BLITZKRIEG!!
Intelligence is what’s winning the counteroffensive in Ukraine’s favor, the intelligence that’s giving to Ukraine is being updated in real time by U.S. and Finish satellites this is a major blow to logistics for Russians.
The counter offense was supplied by Americans and also written by Americans
The most important element is the ukrainian soldiers, no amount of tech or tactics could help if the soldiers were not motivated.
@@Anashadk Absolutely. As an American it's embarrassing to see fellow Americans take credit for what Ukraine itself is accomplishing.
Great analysis!
US found its closest and the most dependable ally in Ukraine.
lol, That this video is already well out-of-date in just a couple weeks shows just how fluid the situation is.
Keep in mind, the technology and weapons we’re giving them now, are not up to date and the most recent or elite models. And better weapons than the weapons and tech we have on our own ships, planes, tanks, subs and what not, are likely already being developed or already in testjng
Yep! That is one good aspect about the “Military Industrial Complex”. It works.
you said it. its a testing ground for new weapons;)
at the same time ukraina is building up an extreme debt. so IF they win they will be in debt for generation to come. the help they get is NOT free
even our old outdated weapons are better than russias current issue junk
Also a noteworthy advantage is all Ukrainians understand Russian. However very few Russians know Ukrainian.
One of the reasons for Russia's lack of sophisticated weaponry is that such weaponry is heavily reliant on modern electronics. Russia's access to such devices is limited by export embargoes and sanctions, so it has struggled to design and build equipment which can match what the West can supply to Ukraine.
it's not even letting up. More gains will be made for at least 2 months before the weather turns bad.
1:28 Saying this as an American, we should really be the last nation to deride/mock ANY other nation’s military for leaving a bonanza of expensive weaponry & equipment behind to fall into enemy hands.

2. Support Ukraine
3. Support Russia(usually this happens bcoz of lack of complete knowledge as to why this all is happening).

The bravery and determination of the Ukrainian people continues to impress and inspire. Proud our tax dollars can at least in some small part help arm your heroes. Truly wish for a freed Ukraine, hoping we can step up our aid even more so you can achieve victory quicker and save more heroes lives!
The US each year has an enormous amount of allocations to arm friendly democracies. But it's not really needed elsewhere outside of Ukraine AND the Ukrainians are maybe the first partners, ever, to really be motivated to stand and fight. The USA still has lots of money and arms to give, lend-lease 2.0 just kicked in a few days ago.
Why would America have to get involved when Ukrainians are more than capable with American technology? We should not have to sacrifice what our tax payers have already provided, we provide the means, Ukraine provides the labor that's a fair exchange to me.
I love that we're finally supporting a country that 1) See's themselves as a nation-state 2) is willing to fight for their own survival
This makes all of our interventionist wars Vietnam on forward look like complete misguided boon doggles.
I think the U.S. should consider indirect, personnel military support. We need a corps of professional soldiers similar in nature to the French or Spanish Foreign Legions - a force not directly under U.S., or even NATO, auspice. This force would operate completely independant of such and would therefore have no direct military support. In other words, it would be a likely suicide mission, and I don't think any U.S. parent would be in favor of their child joining such a force.

The fighting will continue through winter but rather than brigade and battalion strategy will switch to light assault with the destruction or capture of enemy equipment and personnel being the tactical objective along with harassment.

That's considered going awol, they can probably get court martialed (if that exist in Russia) intel would be used against their former allies to varied effects.
(They could probably bargain to even spare their allies, end just held them as POW) it happened quite a few times before, so who know... Considering the state in Russia right now. It might happen
In the Kherson region Russia actually helped with it's own demise by moving in extra troops into a situation where everybody announced for months that Ukraine would cut off all supply lines and then put pressure on the defender. They are now in a situation where the reinforcements eat more food so get less ammo.
that is false. No Russians have been taken prisoner or surrounded, the break out in the river was caused by insufficient troop concentrations and a long front line. That has since been remedied with a shorter line in the short term, and, in the long term, the tripling of the force will permit a push out of that area towards Nikolaev and Krivoy Rog.
@@lordhighexecutioner when they do these prisoner swaps it means there are pow's... in general.
How the tactical situation goes doesn't matter much, in the long run Russia can not supply the Kherson area and Nova Kakhovna will be taken, also blocking again freshwater supply to Crimea. Kerch bridge will soon be 100% cut off, and then the situation really becomes difficult even for Melitopol.
It’s just the beginning this is going to go on for decades , no good comes from war .
No, the key to Ukrainian success is not the HIMARS, it's its people.
Thats reason number one for sure but dont forget that beside the western weapons and training the intel and tactics they combined is a important part of it also.
It's both and also the bayractars
No, it's training and technology. They get both from America.

“I don’t need a ride, I need ammunition”
That quote alone made them win the war
If one statement can crystallize an entire country unified in a war, this would be it.
Modern war has become too costly to fight for a number of reasons, but if it comes to pass, one can hope a stout people will rise up to execute the good fight. Churchill said it in a form or fashion, and look what happened. FDR said similarly, and America decided to kick tail in *two* directions at once, not just one.
double that amount next year and we got a deal
Ammo and associated costs, I’d say they got their monies worth as this war is costing Putin what like 1B a day?
I have this feeling that fighting might not die down in the winter as they might try and use that for a surprise attack also considering that they seem to be using the same tactics the Soviet Union did in ww2
yeah i thought they wanted the ground freeze and harden up. more options then the roads
Hopefully the Ukrainians see this coming
