Combined with better technology for dealing with severe cold, troops who know how to fight in it, the lessons of past failures and leaders who aren't morons and a Russian defeat is very possible even without a 100% commitment to the war by the EU and likely inevitable if it does have that.

davemaster1106 Belarus IS more than an ally. Russia and Belarus share the same migration card visitors have to fill out when visiting either country, flights from one country to the other are considered domestic rather than International. They're practically in a union, much more than the typical non-visa regime like the US has with the EU. Trust me, he didn't really violate his own rule on this one.
JimW27 I still disagree. Yes, Norway is a very close ally of the EU, but it still has its own language, a military entirely uncontrolled by any other country, its own currency and more. Belarus has its own currency, but Russia bails it out of financial problems often, and Russian rubles are accepted everywhere. The military is at the call of Russia, and there's a shared language. Let's put it this way: Norway is very much its own country. It has alliances and shared values, but a Norwegian is a Norwegian. Belarus is essentially a satellite of Russia, mostly willing to be, and is practically a part of Russia. Lukashenko is more like a governor controlled by Putin than a real president. Belarus is Belarussian and independent in name only. It's soundly Russian. Because of that, it's not really a Russian ally. It is Russia's.
This is not even a challenge, the EU has larger numbers, much more advanced equipment and all the troops decide to join the army by themselves to defend their people and country. The only issue the EU might face is that their population is so rich and powerful that they might not want to serve in the war or help.
They've been firing between 7000 to 40,000 (by estimates) artillery shells a day for 8 months straight with little sign of slowing down. I'd say Russia's logistical problems get far too much blame in this war. Their biggest blunder was vastly underestimating Ukraine's ability and will to resist and sending an unprepared force to do the job. Say what you want about Russian incompetence but this war has made people go from overestimating Russia to underestimating them. Even if the most outlandish casualty figures of 80,000 or so are true that's still a fraction of total Russian manpower and material strength. Fact of the matter is people will say Russian equipment is bad (when Ukraine uses largely the same stuff) or corruption, or training problems, or just plain incompetence. It may be a mix of all of those things, but at the end of the day the biggest problem was they genuinely expected a 3 day operation where there would be no large scale organized resistance and sent in an already outnumbered force and scattered what forces they did have along the Donbass, Kherson, Kharkov and Kiev fronts. Nevermind the fact they advanced along very narrow corridors and in the early days of the war had their logistics vehicles mauled by enemies they didn't eliminate in their straightforward rush to Kiev. And when that plan failed they had no backup plan ready.
I'm going to make a wild guess that you are either. American, Canadian, were possibly Australian, but most likely American. We have the unique history of never having been invaded, bombed, and generally pillaged. Really changes perspective when you have both a national history and a personal history of being conquered. All those rich Europeans understand how frail their system is because they have that experience us Americans lack. It gets more interesting when you realize the distances in Europe are a fraction of distances in America. How will Oklahoma respond to California getting invaded?

@@taobaoexpert123 'No Caption' exaggerated. But, should the premises of the video be met, Russia would be wiped out. 'No nukes' - and presumably no WMD -, means that the EU is not afraid of pissing the Russians too much. While 'Full willingness to fight', means that the EU population would support the invasion of Russia 100%, in the same way as most Ukrainians now support the defense of their homeland. Of course, that's not realistic. Usually, the invader has a much harder getting its people onboard. Because the people will demand to pull out, as soon as the war feels to costly.

Also the Luftwaffe has lost significant strength after the battle of britain that was essential for the german combined weapons tactics.

There is a lot to unpack here. 1 - If Russia conquered Ukraine, they would lose considerable manpower trying to deal with an insurgency, funded and armed by the EU. 2 - UK would not send forces the long way to Russia, they would take their assets up and around to the White Sea (when its thawed) and land there. 3 - Turkey Cannot be neutral, they are a NATO member... so, they would have to allow Forces from the EU to operate in their area. 4 - Russia's game is ground forces, their air power isn't all that capable all this level of operations. 5 - Spain/Portugal/Netherlands/Belgians, may just stage their forces in Britain to enable rapid deployment. 6 - U.S. being barred from direct conflict would instead push weapons and intel to EU states 7 - This will get odd, but Australia/New Zealand are commonwealth of UK. So they would go up and attacks Kamchatka 8 - With no nukes allowed - Russian Navy would lose a considerable bite, and be left with a rather meek bark. 9 - Russia is so vast, it would be easy to go around Russian defenses. 10 - Take out the Russian Oil fields and destroy her ability to wage armored warfare. On the flip side. 1 - Russian ground forces doctrine would probably have them get all the way to Germany until they hit resistance. 2 - I don't think they would make the mistake of trying to push into Finland again with a unified force against them.. they would probably be on the defensive there. 3 - Their Cyberwarfare would be very effective disrupting EU activity. 4 - Russia would have a unified equipment advantage... as German, French, British equipment would have to try and work together. 5 - Lack of Russian Natural Gas would cripple Western Europe in the winter. 6 - Europe lacks vast resources like oil to sustain a long term conflict.
Even if America and Russia team against the world they wouldn’t win. Let’s be serious. America would be so easy to take over people don’t understand. A pincer manuver from troops in Mexico and Canada. Oil from the Middle East etc. They would be surrounded. If it was just Europe and it was and it was russia and America. Europe would lose due to being caught between the two and America and Russia can trade through the Pacific. But if it’s the world vs Russia and America... they would loose. 500m ish people vs 6billion? Obviously not every are solider but the smooth of resources they’d have available would truly dominate.

The only reason Germany lost those wars is because it had crazy leaders, if Germany would have fought only one front, We would all be speaking German now!

German army from it's Prusian traditions was rather quality as some will mention here (though perhaps not for the right reasons) as it was heavily focussed on discipline and was well trained and equiped. It was always a product of tyrants putting the whip to men though, Germany has only seen limited time of democracy so far. In modern times we would simply fight to defend our homes and protect our family's, no wars of agression. It's unlikely that you will fight war in the form of being infantry on the field, with Europe's production capacity we could could easily outproduce Russia in remotely opperated war equipment. Ah the Longer the Russians wait with this sort of folly, the more we would be preppared to defeat them from behind our computers.
If the invasion of Ukraine has shown us anything it is that the entire premise was not only wrong but incredibly wrong. Ukraine would not "fight among itself" and the state of the Russian military is far worse than shown. Troops are untrained conscripts. They are considered so unimportant that they are not even told their mission. Despite fighting a few miles from Russia, supply chains are breaking down everywhere - food, fuel and spare parts are increasingly rare. Military strategy consists of bombing the hell out of civilians and sending waves of troops into areas to be mowed down. Add to that the rapid loss of population, collapse of the rouble and destruction of the economy and the idea that Russia could challenge the EU seems almost funny.
lutherus is right, russia is knowingly only sending their weakest forces into ukraine. their goal might only be to destroy ukraine's infrastructure completely, with little true loss of strength being lost on their side. this would burden EU and nato, who will seek to rebuild the country with aid, and meanwhile russia will be free to ally itself with china as europe suffers the millions of refugees from ukraine

@@eeropyorre9552 The chinese has actually wantead to get Hǎishēnwǎi(vladivostok) back. So this is not impossible since russia is in a really weak situation where they burned their bridges with the west and china remembers the sino-soviet conflict.
@@eeropyorre9552 Yeah, cause Russia is SO smart in strategic planning. LOL This is a tragedy for Ukraine but a complete catastrophe for Russia who is now bankrupt with nothing to do but bomb the hell out of civilians. It illustrates their weakness in virtually every military area - quality of soldiers, training, supply lines, morale, unusable weapons, dishonesty (won't tell troops where they are going).
Given that (as I write) we can see Russia is getting bogged down in Ukraine alone, the idea that they would be able to maintain offensive action across that huge front, including Finland, Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic states, is looking like fantasy land.
It assumes good morale, everyone is mobilized, and everything is planned out well. In reality, no plan survives contact with the enemy. If Nato expected Russia to take out Ukraine in a few days, if Poland thought it wouldn't last 22 days, it just means that everyone vastly overestimated them. In his old US vs Russia video he clarfied that Russian cannot attack, Idk what changed. I also think people overestimate the "Ukraine is flat without hills". Every ambush I have seen has been in a rural areas, flat, with lots of houses. Every tank destroyed is in the open. I am starting to think that modern tanks are better inside a city than outside. As they need to hide more from long range atgm than anything else, and can hide quickly behind a building.
@@aksmex2576 Except that defeat is recurrent with the Russians: Japan 1908, Poland 1920, Finland 1930, Afghanistan 1990, Eastern Europe 1989-91. But they are good at looting and war crimes.
@@armand9356 are you sure you didn't just pick out their defeats? They beat Finland, and Afghanistan, idk what the 1989-91 is supposed to be, there was no war. Just too add context, Poland 1920 was part of the Russian civil war, which the USSR won. They actually beat Ukraine, the Caucasus counties, Central Asian, and Siberian. They didn't bother Finland. They lost to Baltics and Poland. You pick only that. In Afghanistan they walked in and took over without issue. Atleast in the invasion. Infact I would argue that Putin planned to take out Ukraine in a similar fashion. 2 main pincers, take capital with paratroopers. Look it up it's pretty interesting. In 1930s they attacked Finland lost a lot of troops initially, but later launched a successful offensive forcing Finland to surrender, so they did win that war. Don't forget that they attacked Poland in the east, and took Bessarabia fron Romania, and took the Baltics. Then they fought Germany, almost lost, but then beat the crap out of Germany. So really your arguement is either baised or based of ignorance. Russia history wins wars after through lots of men at the enemy, and wins with numbers. That's how they roll, and that's how they might roll in Ukraine. You know this war could go on for more than a few months? Even a year or a few years? I hope not. I estimate it will end soon depending on if Russia can defeat Ukraine in the east or not. Think Iraq-Iran war. Iraq received help from everyone, both the US and USSR. Iran only had Syria and China. Yet they nearly won, but were threaten by the US.
@@aksmex2576 Opposit, fields and hills are where tanks are good (see Afghanistan). Tank in city or rubble = death (see every war ever). Tank in forest/mountain =death (winter war). Russia just have bad tanks and no idea how to use them (combined arms).
@@terrydrain I am finding that to be partly a myth. Tanks seem pretty good in cities to me. In the open they are exposed from all sides and cannot hide. They can also be out ranged. In the city a narrow corridor forces the enemy to shoot it in the front where the armour is the strongest.

really do you think they will win Russia has occupied all Ukrainian cities and Ukraine is engaged in guerrilla warfare, only thing pending is russia breaking into presidential building and raising their flag
@@vishwanathasharma1409 last news I got the Russians havent even captured Mariupol or most cities they encountered. The russians even decided, against all better judgement, to send in a ground offensive against one city without any support and were stopped. The problem seems to stem from morale issues, logistics problems* and bad military leadership. Even the soldiers themselves were first told it was just a military training exercise to limit the amount of people actually aware of the plan. Then they were told they were going to liberate Ukrain's supressed pro-Russians. But its hard to justify "liberating the supressed" when you or those nearby are ordered to shoot up schools and hospitals and the people you are fighting aren't soldiers but the very people you are supposed to be liberating. Its easy for a Ukrainian to become a heroic figure for stopping and even killing a Russian. But its hard for a Russian to feel a hero if the people you "save" hate you and fight you, tell you they dont want you here, tell you about who the people were that you killed, see the families you tore apart. A rule of war: people dont want to die and they actually dont want to kill. The Ukrainians fight not just for their own lives but those of their families, they will take more risks and are more likely to shoot to kill. The Russians dont want to die and dont have a good reason to risk their lives. They are more likely to pull back. Just the fact that the Ukrainian airforce isnt absolutely destroyed yet is also a good indicator that something is going horribly wrong on the Russian side, which should have vastly superior air detection, air defenses and aircraft at its disposal to utterly wipe it out. The most modern Ukrainian aircraft is an aging version of what the Russians have, and the russians have several newer aircradt designs on top of that as well. *the logistics problems should not be there. Russia seemed to have planned the entire thing out, with a multi-pronged attack aimed at many vital targets. The lack of solid logistics to keep up their momentum shows a lack of planning. Even if the Russians had assumed a quick victory, they should have at minimum have a logistics network set up to sustain the offensives for a few weeks because you can never ever be certain your offensive succeeds. And if your offensive of Ukrain has any hickups then Russia suddenly looks weak, a broken bear. Which it now does. I always heard and saw through various channels like Binkhov's channel that the Russians were somewhat aging in their equipment but the size and training was formidable, they could even take half of Europe quickly! And now they seem to struggle with Ukraom. So Putin has to shore up its position by looking like a mad dictator and putting his nuclear forces on high alert to compensate for this weakness. You might say "ah but that is all western propaganda!", but why would the western propaganda make the russians look like it could wipe out Europe and then suddenly make it look like a paper bear once it makes its move? The first news was "whelp, bye bye Ukrain" before turning to surprise as the russians struggled.

China wouldn't join Russia. Their relationship is quite bad (or at least by far not as good as people like to think) and on top of that, China's economy is deeply intertwined with those of the EU and US, and not so much with Russia's. I wouldn't go as far as saying China would join the fight against Russia, but that's more realistic than them fighting NATO. And if the EU can take Russia by itself in an all out war scenario, imagine what the EU and the US, let alone NATO, could do. Russia would have no chance whatsoever, they'd be better off capitulating right off the bat. In the modern world, economies are linked in such a way that war is an unintelligent option. Russia is one of the few countries that could go to war with just about anyone without significant repercussions. China can't (EU or US), EU can't (with China or US, probably Japan too), US can't (China or EU, probably Japan too).
Poffertje China would join or at least support Russia. Not out of good relations but necessity. They would not want the Americans to further dominate the world and would bandwagon with them for political reasons. Its similiar to how the Americans supported the Communist Yugoslavs in the 1950s. Any war would massively disrupt the global economy due to the silly idea that countries should specialize production, sacrifice autarky and rely on foreign trade the idea being that interdependency will prevent wars when in reality in just makes most countries dependent on large powers.
The point is that China wouldn't fight. If China helps Russia then they are clearly a enemy to NATO for example and then there goes their trade links..

Maybe not! Just their airforce, navy, AA capability but they got a lot of manpower and the nation is huge the moving up could take months or years! If I remember correctly there was a guy found somewhere in Siberia that didn't know the USSR had fallen. :P
until EU tried to penetrate deep into Russia…. it’s huge topography would be very difficult to conquer let alone invade. Don’t forget Russia would use standard Soviet era tactics and send millions upo. millions of men into fight. war of attrition
@@benjaminvmarder6519 Europe could win without invading all of Russia. Just bombing infrastructure and industry and force them to move their war production would kill them off. Remember the USSR outproducing Nazi Germany was the result of lend-lease! Of cause, we could see the PRC sending the parts and raw material as the US did, but if I remember right it's against the scope of the video, anyway this would most likely result in sanctions on the PRC economy so they would probably stay out of it. The Nato nation's armies and most of the other European armies have got much more and better logistics than Russia and Nazi-Germany have/had, or Napoleon for that matter. As long as the European armies attacked slowly, like 50-200 km and then a break, and they would simply as they would need to mobilize and start wartime production, then they would not run into the problems of Napoleon or Hitler. Also, there are lots of units in the European nations that are used to fighting in really cold weather, the biggest problem for Napoleon and Hitler's soldiers, just look at Finland, Sweden, Norway, the Baltic nation, even France and the other alp nations also got a decent amount. Napoleon was in a hurry as he was needed closer to home, and Nazi Germany was in a hurry as they knew that in a drawn-out conflict they knew that the USSR's advantage in people and industry especially with lend-lease would bring them in trouble long term. Europe does not have that problem in this conflict, just the opposite the longer it took the more soldiers could be mobilized and/or trained and the more industry could be re-purposed for wartime production.
@@benjaminvmarder6519 standard soviet tactic worked when the USSR had millions to throw when the ennemy didn't. The USSR was 10% of the total pop on earth with a young pop. Now they have less than 1% with old pop. That's very stupid to believe they can resort to such tactic like we are in 1941 again. This is 2022, a 155mm shell evolved too.
11:20 honestly if the EU would gear up for war it would outclass Russia in every single field as the combined industrial capabilities of the EU are beyond those of the US

Keep in mind those figures are during Greece's monumental economic depression, at great cost to the Greeks. That's what happens when 11 million Greeks are defending Europe against 82 million Turks, especially now with Erdogan and his neo-Ottoman Empire aspirations. Are we getting a European army any time soon?
Actually it does. You laugh, but did you know Montenegro is actually the 88th most powerfull nation on earth? It has a larger army than countries like: Kenya, Djibouti, Rwanda, south sudan,Wakanda!!!
Well finnish troops and artillery are totally wrong at 12:02, total number of artillery pieces and heavy mortars is +1300 and number of wartime troops is 280 K.
The active reserve (280k) should be included (the total trained reserve is slightly over 900k), as FDF doesn't have a single war-capable battalion in the peacetime structure - the active reserve is supposed to be called up for service well in time before hostilities begin, ie. when the intelligence services notice larger troop movements in Russia, that would consist of war capable formations.
Nice video. Its a very difficult scenario to simulate, because it requires lots of information gathering and second guessing. It's still an entertaining approximation of what might happen. That being said, I'd add Norway to the EU group, as I really can't see other Nordic countries going to war without Norway.

“No allies”
...5 seconds later “Belarus is a Russian ally”

davemaster1106 hahah always
davemaster1106 Belarus IS more than an ally. Russia and Belarus share the same migration card visitors have to fill out when visiting either country, flights from one country to the other are considered domestic rather than International. They're practically in a union, much more than the typical non-visa regime like the US has with the EU. Trust me, he didn't really violate his own rule on this one.
If Belarus is included Norway should be modeled as well
JimW27 I still disagree. Yes, Norway is a very close ally of the EU, but it still has its own language, a military entirely uncontrolled by any other country, its own currency and more.
Belarus has its own currency, but Russia bails it out of financial problems often, and Russian rubles are accepted everywhere. The military is at the call of Russia, and there's a shared language.
Let's put it this way: Norway is very much its own country. It has alliances and shared values, but a Norwegian is a Norwegian.
Belarus is essentially a satellite of Russia, mostly willing to be, and is practically a part of Russia. Lukashenko is more like a governor controlled by Putin than a real president. Belarus is Belarussian and independent in name only. It's soundly Russian. Because of that, it's not really a Russian ally. It is Russia's.
Mark Heithaus Basically every country in the EU has different language, customs and cultures. I think you missed my point.
This is not even a challenge, the EU has larger numbers, much more advanced equipment and all the troops decide to join the army by themselves to defend their people and country. The only issue the EU might face is that their population is so rich and powerful that they might not want to serve in the war or help.
Thankfully if there's a draft for something like that. I have useful skills that don't involve me being in the front lines.
"all the troops decide to join the army by themselves"
A lot of EU members have peacetime conscription.
They've been firing between 7000 to 40,000 (by estimates) artillery shells a day for 8 months straight with little sign of slowing down. I'd say Russia's logistical problems get far too much blame in this war. Their biggest blunder was vastly underestimating Ukraine's ability and will to resist and sending an unprepared force to do the job. Say what you want about Russian incompetence but this war has made people go from overestimating Russia to underestimating them. Even if the most outlandish casualty figures of 80,000 or so are true that's still a fraction of total Russian manpower and material strength.
Fact of the matter is people will say Russian equipment is bad (when Ukraine uses largely the same stuff) or corruption, or training problems, or just plain incompetence. It may be a mix of all of those things, but at the end of the day the biggest problem was they genuinely expected a 3 day operation where there would be no large scale organized resistance and sent in an already outnumbered force and scattered what forces they did have along the Donbass, Kherson, Kharkov and Kiev fronts. Nevermind the fact they advanced along very narrow corridors and in the early days of the war had their logistics vehicles mauled by enemies they didn't eliminate in their straightforward rush to Kiev. And when that plan failed they had no backup plan ready.
I'm going to make a wild guess that you are either. American, Canadian, were possibly Australian, but most likely American.
We have the unique history of never having been invaded, bombed, and generally pillaged. Really changes perspective when you have both a national history and a personal history of being conquered.
All those rich Europeans understand how frail their system is because they have that experience us Americans lack.

There is a lot to unpack here.
1 - If Russia conquered Ukraine, they would lose considerable manpower trying to deal with an insurgency, funded and armed by the EU.
2 - UK would not send forces the long way to Russia, they would take their assets up and around to the White Sea (when its thawed) and land there.
3 - Turkey Cannot be neutral, they are a NATO member... so, they would have to allow Forces from the EU to operate in their area.
4 - Russia's game is ground forces, their air power isn't all that capable all this level of operations.
5 - Spain/Portugal/Netherlands/Belgians, may just stage their forces in Britain to enable rapid deployment.
6 - U.S. being barred from direct conflict would instead push weapons and intel to EU states
7 - This will get odd, but Australia/New Zealand are commonwealth of UK. So they would go up and attacks Kamchatka
8 - With no nukes allowed - Russian Navy would lose a considerable bite, and be left with a rather meek bark.
9 - Russia is so vast, it would be easy to go around Russian defenses.
10 - Take out the Russian Oil fields and destroy her ability to wage armored warfare.
On the flip side.
1 - Russian ground forces doctrine would probably have them get all the way to Germany until they hit resistance.
2 - I don't think they would make the mistake of trying to push into Finland again with a unified force against them.. they would probably be on the defensive there.
3 - Their Cyberwarfare would be very effective disrupting EU activity.
4 - Russia would have a unified equipment advantage... as German, French, British equipment would have to try and work together.
5 - Lack of Russian Natural Gas would cripple Western Europe in the winter.
6 - Europe lacks vast resources like oil to sustain a long term conflict.
It's the EU not NATO. Turkey is not a part of the EU and so is the commonwealth

German army from it's Prusian traditions was rather quality as some will mention here (though perhaps not for the right reasons) as it was heavily focussed on discipline and was well trained and equiped. It was always a product of tyrants putting the whip to men though, Germany has only seen limited time of democracy so far.
In modern times we would simply fight to defend our homes and protect our family's, no wars of agression. It's unlikely that you will fight war in the form of being infantry on the field, with Europe's production capacity we could could easily outproduce Russia in remotely opperated war equipment. Ah the Longer the Russians wait with this sort of folly, the more we would be preppared to defeat them from behind our computers.
manzanaresantonio Maybe not because the allies would have supplied the Soviet Union
Lol, Russia even cannot control small parts of Ukraine
ukraine keep asking for more weapons and losing land
so “ukraine not gonna lose” 😂😂
If the invasion of Ukraine has shown us anything it is that the entire premise was not only wrong but incredibly wrong. Ukraine would not "fight among itself" and the state of the Russian military is far worse than shown. Troops are untrained conscripts. They are considered so unimportant that they are not even told their mission. Despite fighting a few miles from Russia, supply chains are breaking down everywhere - food, fuel and spare parts are increasingly rare. Military strategy consists of bombing the hell out of civilians and sending waves of troops into areas to be mowed down.
Add to that the rapid loss of population, collapse of the rouble and destruction of the economy and the idea that Russia could challenge the EU seems almost funny.
Russia has barely sent its real strength into Ukraine, they have barely utilized their combat jets.
lutherus is right, russia is knowingly only sending their weakest forces into ukraine. their goal might only be to destroy ukraine's infrastructure completely, with little true loss of strength being lost on their side. this would burden EU and nato, who will seek to rebuild the country with aid, and meanwhile russia will be free to ally itself with china as europe suffers the millions of refugees from ukraine
yeah as i see it now EU would not need more than entire german police force to overwhelm russia and dig itself around volgograd (previously stalingrad)
@@eeropyorre9552 The chinese has actually wantead to get Hǎishēnwǎi(vladivostok) back. So this is not impossible since russia is in a really weak situation where they burned their bridges with the west and china remembers the sino-soviet conflict.
@@eeropyorre9552 Yeah, cause Russia is SO smart in strategic planning. LOL This is a tragedy for Ukraine but a complete catastrophe for Russia who is now bankrupt with nothing to do but bomb the hell out of civilians.
It illustrates their weakness in virtually every military area - quality of soldiers, training, supply lines, morale, unusable weapons, dishonesty (won't tell troops where they are going).
Given that (as I write) we can see Russia is getting bogged down in Ukraine alone, the idea that they would be able to maintain offensive action across that huge front, including Finland, Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic states, is looking like fantasy land.
It assumes good morale, everyone is mobilized, and everything is planned out well. In reality, no plan survives contact with the enemy.
If Nato expected Russia to take out Ukraine in a few days, if Poland thought it wouldn't last 22 days, it just means that everyone vastly overestimated them.
In his old US vs Russia video he clarfied that Russian cannot attack, Idk what changed.
I also think people overestimate the "Ukraine is flat without hills".
Every ambush I have seen has been in a rural areas, flat, with lots of houses.
Every tank destroyed is in the open.
I am starting to think that modern tanks are better inside a city than outside. As they need to hide more from long range atgm than anything else, and can hide quickly behind a building.
@@aksmex2576 Except that defeat is recurrent with the Russians: Japan 1908, Poland 1920, Finland 1930, Afghanistan 1990, Eastern Europe 1989-91. But they are good at looting and war crimes.
@@armand9356 are you sure you didn't just pick out their defeats?
They beat Finland, and Afghanistan, idk what the 1989-91 is supposed to be, there was no war.
Just too add context, Poland 1920 was part of the Russian civil war, which the USSR won. They actually beat Ukraine, the Caucasus counties, Central Asian, and Siberian. They didn't bother Finland. They lost to Baltics and Poland. You pick only that.
In Afghanistan they walked in and took over without issue. Atleast in the invasion. Infact I would argue that Putin planned to take out Ukraine in a similar fashion.
2 main pincers, take capital with paratroopers. Look it up it's pretty interesting.
In 1930s they attacked Finland lost a lot of troops initially, but later launched a successful offensive forcing Finland to surrender, so they did win that war.
Don't forget that they attacked Poland in the east, and took Bessarabia fron Romania, and took the Baltics.
Then they fought Germany, almost lost, but then beat the crap out of Germany.
So really your arguement is either baised or based of ignorance.
Russia history wins wars after through lots of men at the enemy, and wins with numbers. That's how they roll, and that's how they might roll in Ukraine.
You know this war could go on for more than a few months? Even a year or a few years? I hope not.
I estimate it will end soon depending on if Russia can defeat Ukraine in the east or not.
Think Iraq-Iran war.
Iraq received help from everyone, both the US and USSR. Iran only had Syria and China. Yet they nearly won, but were threaten by the US.
@@aksmex2576 Opposit, fields and hills are where tanks are good (see Afghanistan). Tank in city or rubble = death (see every war ever). Tank in forest/mountain =death (winter war). Russia just have bad tanks and no idea how to use them (combined arms).
@@terrydrain I am finding that to be partly a myth.
Tanks seem pretty good in cities to me.
In the open they are exposed from all sides and cannot hide.
They can also be out ranged.
In the city a narrow corridor forces the enemy to shoot it in the front where the armour is the strongest.

For 3 years we just thought about it, nowadays it may can happen… unfortunately. Putin is absolutely crazy and he lost his mind completely.
But the Ukraine Army is extremely strong and brave, they have got a chance to „win“ (stopping) against Russia. Good luck and all support from Germany ❤️
They have no chance at all..
really do you think they will win Russia has occupied all Ukrainian cities and Ukraine is engaged in guerrilla warfare, only thing pending is russia breaking into presidential building and raising their flag
@@vishwanathasharma1409 last news I got the Russians havent even captured Mariupol or most cities they encountered. The russians even decided, against all better judgement, to send in a ground offensive against one city without any support and were stopped.
The problem seems to stem from morale issues, logistics problems* and bad military leadership. Even the soldiers themselves were first told it was just a military training exercise to limit the amount of people actually aware of the plan. Then they were told they were going to liberate Ukrain's supressed pro-Russians. But its hard to justify "liberating the supressed" when you or those nearby are ordered to shoot up schools and hospitals and the people you are fighting aren't soldiers but the very people you are supposed to be liberating.
Its easy for a Ukrainian to become a heroic figure for stopping and even killing a Russian. But its hard for a Russian to feel a hero if the people you "save" hate you and fight you, tell you they dont want you here, tell you about who the people were that you killed, see the families you tore apart.
A rule of war: people dont want to die and they actually dont want to kill. The Ukrainians fight not just for their own lives but those of their families, they will take more risks and are more likely to shoot to kill. The Russians dont want to die and dont have a good reason to risk their lives. They are more likely to pull back.
Just the fact that the Ukrainian airforce isnt absolutely destroyed yet is also a good indicator that something is going horribly wrong on the Russian side, which should have vastly superior air detection, air defenses and aircraft at its disposal to utterly wipe it out. The most modern Ukrainian aircraft is an aging version of what the Russians have, and the russians have several newer aircradt designs on top of that as well.
*the logistics problems should not be there. Russia seemed to have planned the entire thing out, with a multi-pronged attack aimed at many vital targets. The lack of solid logistics to keep up their momentum shows a lack of planning. Even if the Russians had assumed a quick victory, they should have at minimum have a logistics network set up to sustain the offensives for a few weeks because you can never ever be certain your offensive succeeds. And if your offensive of Ukrain has any hickups then Russia suddenly looks weak, a broken bear. Which it now does. I always heard and saw through various channels like Binkhov's channel that the Russians were somewhat aging in their equipment but the size and training was formidable, they could even take half of Europe quickly! And now they seem to struggle with Ukraom. So Putin has to shore up its position by looking like a mad dictator and putting his nuclear forces on high alert to compensate for this weakness.
You might say "ah but that is all western propaganda!", but why would the western propaganda make the russians look like it could wipe out Europe and then suddenly make it look like a paper bear once it makes its move? The first news was "whelp, bye bye Ukrain" before turning to surprise as the russians struggled.
@@vishwanathasharma1409 yes we do beleive it. They lost in Afghanistan, they will lose in Ukraine. Morale is between zero and none. More and more drones, equipment, weapons and soldiers are pouring in Ukraine. They lost the war in first 96 hours.

China wouldn't fight. They'd be risking all of their trade links to the rest of the world that are allies with US.
China wouldn't join Russia. Their relationship is quite bad (or at least by far not as good as people like to think) and on top of that, China's economy is deeply intertwined with those of the EU and US, and not so much with Russia's. I wouldn't go as far as saying China would join the fight against Russia, but that's more realistic than them fighting NATO.
And if the EU can take Russia by itself in an all out war scenario, imagine what the EU and the US, let alone NATO, could do. Russia would have no chance whatsoever, they'd be better off capitulating right off the bat.
In the modern world, economies are linked in such a way that war is an unintelligent option. Russia is one of the few countries that could go to war with just about anyone without significant repercussions. China can't (EU or US), EU can't (with China or US, probably Japan too), US can't (China or EU, probably Japan too).
Poffertje China would join or at least support Russia. Not out of good relations but necessity. They would not want the Americans to further dominate the world and would bandwagon with them for political reasons.
Its similiar to how the Americans supported the Communist Yugoslavs in the 1950s. Any war would massively disrupt the global economy due to the silly idea that countries should specialize production, sacrifice autarky and rely on foreign trade the idea being that interdependency will prevent wars when in reality in just makes most countries dependent on large powers.
The point is that China wouldn't fight. If China helps Russia then they are clearly a enemy to NATO for example and then there goes their trade links..

@@benjaminvmarder6519 Europe could win without invading all of Russia. Just bombing infrastructure and industry and force them to move their war production would kill them off. Remember the USSR outproducing Nazi Germany was the result of lend-lease! Of cause, we could see the PRC sending the parts and raw material as the US did, but if I remember right it's against the scope of the video, anyway this would most likely result in sanctions on the PRC economy so they would probably stay out of it. The Nato nation's armies and most of the other European armies have got much more and better logistics than Russia and Nazi-Germany have/had, or Napoleon for that matter. As long as the European armies attacked slowly, like 50-200 km and then a break, and they would simply as they would need to mobilize and start wartime production, then they would not run into the problems of Napoleon or Hitler. Also, there are lots of units in the European nations that are used to fighting in really cold weather, the biggest problem for Napoleon and Hitler's soldiers, just look at Finland, Sweden, Norway, the Baltic nation, even France and the other alp nations also got a decent amount.
Napoleon was in a hurry as he was needed closer to home, and Nazi Germany was in a hurry as they knew that in a drawn-out conflict they knew that the USSR's advantage in people and industry especially with lend-lease would bring them in trouble long term. Europe does not have that problem in this conflict, just the opposite the longer it took the more soldiers could be mobilized and/or trained and the more industry could be re-purposed for wartime production.

That's very stupid to believe they can resort to such tactic like we are in 1941 again. This is 2022, a 155mm shell evolved too.
Why is the UK's Challenger 2 not listed under tanks? We have about 400 of them!

Baltic countries be like: *How about we take this outside?*
11:20 honestly if the EU would gear up for war it would outclass Russia in every single field as the combined industrial capabilities of the EU are beyond those of the US
Plus russian economy is dependent on selling fuels to Europe
This became way more relevant in the last week.
Binkov: "EU fleet units cannot do much in the Baltic".
Commanders of Swedish Gotland class submarines: "hold our beers".

@@mojewjewjew4420 I sense butthurt.
Greece has NATO's 2nd largest defense budget as a share of GDP after the United States ( www.euronews.com/2019/06/26/how-much-does-your-nation-spend-on-defence-and-what-percentage-of-gdp ). Keep in mind those figures are during Greece's monumental economic depression, at great cost to the Greeks. That's what happens when 11 million Greeks are defending Europe against 82 million Turks, especially now with Erdogan and his neo-Ottoman Empire aspirations. Are we getting a European army any time soon?

No need for Russia. Sweden and its FEMINIST government will destroy the entire country on its own. Russia just needs to wait.
That could actually be a viable tactic. Flood the Russian border with refugees to cause instsbility.

Well finnish troops and artillery are totally wrong at 12:02, total number of artillery pieces and heavy mortars is +1300 and number of wartime troops is 280 K.
They're not including reservists in the figure.
So? Binkov himself does not expect it to be over in a few days.
The active reserve (280k) should be included (the total trained reserve is slightly over 900k), as FDF doesn't have a single war-capable battalion in the peacetime structure - the active reserve is supposed to be called up for service well in time before hostilities begin, ie. when the intelligence services notice larger troop movements in Russia, that would consist of war capable formations.
Heavy mortars aren’t howitzers

Nice video. Its a very difficult scenario to simulate, because it requires lots of information gathering and second guessing. It's still an entertaining approximation of what might happen.
That being said, I'd add Norway to the EU group, as I really can't see other Nordic countries going to war without Norway.
Well this video aged like milk, though it’s really cool to see how capable Russia is at being a paper tiger
I like to minimal time it took for part 2 to come out
I think it was ready all along, it's probably just taking a "cool-off time" uploading video, which isn't a bad thing to do.

After what we saw in Bucha and other Ukrainian cities, i don' t worry about the will to defend at all cost, even if nukes where used.
