They need two things to take the pressure off of the Ukrainians on the front line. 1) stop restrictions on use of western weapons in Russia. 2) more fighter jets.
Western countries could actively man the northern border with Belarus etc. That would free a lot of Ukrainian manpower without being overtly aggressive.
While it's true that the Ukrainian pilots need substantial training time to become competent on the F-16, their military as a whole has proven to be highly adept and adaptive under pressure. So if anything, the arrival of the F16s has been underhyped. The Ukrainian military has in the past surprised and even caught analysts off guard. If it wasn't all that, then the Ukrainians wouldn't have bothered.
Ukrainian men and women are fighting to keep their freedoms, Putin's lemmings are fighting for money, or simply because they are not strong enough to say no.
Not really discussed publicly, but there are actually a fair number of veteran western military F-16 pilots both of Ukrainian ancestry and “foreign volunteers” already available to the Ukrainian Air Force to pilot donated F-16s and to both train and cadre Ukrainian F-16 squadrons. The same is true of ground and maintenance personnel. Some of those pilots even have combat experience.
No country can eat up losing a thousand men a day for long, I just dread to think at how many Ukraine is losing as well. I'm beginning to see what military commanders in Vietnam meant when they were saying how their government wasn't allowing them to win that war. It seems America had the same mindset when it comes to not allowing Ukraine to strike prime, big, juicy targets in Russia. They are costing their allies thousands of lives with such rules. Maybe tens of thousands of lives. They must revise these backward rules.
pro ukraine people still don't understand that ukraine deep striking Russia with nato missiles and nato intelligence and with nato specialists handling the weapons is like nato deeps striking into Russia and Russia would respond directly against nato this is why they aren't allowing it.
Russia's Gazprom losses nearly Double Year on Year Russian gas giant Gazprom suffered net losses from January to June 2024 almost double those in the same period last year, the Ukrainian media outlet enkorr reported on July 31. Losses in the first half of 2024 totalled 480.64 billion rubles ($5.5 billion), while those in the first half of 2023 totalled 255 billion rubles ($2.95 billion), according to Gazprom financial statements seen by the outlet. Gazprom has had a turbulent time since the launch of Russia's full-scale invasion - its revenue fell by 30% last year with a net loss of $6.9 billion, the largest in 25 years. Moscow's war in Ukraine led to worsening relations with Europe, limiting the operations of the company. "Gazprom is at a dead end, and they're very much aware of it," Ribakova said after reading the report. Gazprom announced Production has Fallen to USSR...1970s Levels "Everything According to Plan " 😀😀
To fly and return from missions is best abetted by having large attack groups. A half dozen F-16s is great for air defense. Need about 120 - 250 F-16s to have an effective attacking force.
@@dudeonyoutube They're not. The airframes are from the 1980s onwards but the technology in the planes is modern. Just like my computer is from the 2020s but the cabinet is from the early 1990s; that doesn't make the computer ancient, it's modern no matter the age of the box outside. The F-16 is still produced and modern produced or modern upgraded F-16s are nothing like the first F-16s of the 1970s. It's a completely different plane except the airframe.
Excellent contribution by Col Phillip Imgram , well explained easy to understand , this guy knows his stuff & recognises the Ukraines are doing a tremendous job at reducing the , Russian offensive attacks with a lot less men , stopping the Russian offensive several times a day . Looking at Russian tank losses , I feel they will run out of Tanks by late fall & their artillery pieces are in a similar shape , daily being destroyed , barrels wearing out & problems with Ammo stocks under constant Interdiction by Ukraine . With a reduced working population causeling production to fall in all sectors & their services infestructure also suffering very badly , will cause Russia to go on the back foot as winter starts adding to their problems of fresh troops with very little training adapting to winter conditions . The Russians will start to find supply problems of armoured vehicles, ammo stocks constantly being interdicted & men shortages as winter sets in on half trained troops . Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 , 🇬🇧

Just a question for Russians. What do you think happens when we over here in western countries actually start fighting? How do you think things would go in St. Petersburg with the Finnish armed forces alone? I don’t wish to negate the great efforts that Ukrainians have been making for their territories for an age, but I ask Russians to wake up. You had plenty of chance to make positive impact on Ukraine as an ally, but the majority have seen joining Europe and west as better for their future. Flattening their eastern cities only has hardened that resolve.
As an American. It's really frustrating, and disappointing that America hasn't taken the lead, on suppling fighter aircraft to Ukraine. America has moth balled fighters sitting in Arizona, that wouldn't take much to refurbish and send to Ukraine . Granted they're aircraft with a lot of hours on them. But if asked, I'm sure Ukraine would jump at the chance to get their hands on them. These are aircraft that the US is never going to use again. And there's a number of different models, F-14's, F-15's, F-16's, F-18's, A-10's etc. these are all aircraft that Ukraine could put to good use. Now getting our worthless politicians to grow a pair, and make this happen is probably the hardest part.
Question to all pro-Russia posters. How can ANY force on Earth possibly hope to occupy territory when they are opposed by a conglomeration of the wealthiest and most powerful nations in human history who have unlimited resources and time at their disposal, who can target and strike you around the clock with impunity?
Russia doesn't want to occupy all of Ukraine. They just want a neutral Ukraine. As for your "most powerful nations in human history", their day has passed, their resources are far, far less than Russia and China and their time is running out. You need to wake up to the new reality.
No one have to be pro-russian to answer that. There are tools for pacifying civilians, there are tools to pacify Ukrainians. Russia could any time delete Ukrainian electrical grid/ plants fully, not just in 50%. Ukraine is already bankrupted. Civilians want peace more and more.

Through cyber attacks and spreading disinformation on social media thereby causing chaos in those societies and diverting resources and attention to the real problem.
Wow. No offense but have you been seriously brainwashed?! The media keeps telling us stuff that you parrot since the BEGINNING of the war and you still fall for it? Says a lot about you and why our own propaganda works and on whom.
The difficulty of flying Lockheed planes for ex-Soviet trained pilots has been well-known for over 20 years. The surprise expressed by commentators that the F16s are not going to make a miraculous difference in the short term is surprising in itself.
Countries like Romania are still having problems in conversion training on F16s from Soviet jets, it's been a decade since they got those planes and they have full access to NATO training, that's a tough timeline for Ukraine to beat.
What a great explanation of how Ukraine has so cleverly played their cards as the man in the middle. Right; they’ve trained with both the Russians and the West. They know how stagnant and unwieldy Russian command & control often is and how flexible and surprisingly devastating the west’s operational control can be when.
Truly informative. Tks a lot for those itws of all those good specialists... I can follow easely their insights of high level. Yur site is a good one. I like to view yur vids daily.
Japan lost the war and it's attack on India failed. Just like Russia the Japanese had been planning and preparing for years once the allies woke up japan failed. You also have your figures wrong the Japanese casualties was 9824 for the battle of Singapore. Both territory were taken back by the allies within a few years.
Nobody talks about something that is missing. There used to be almost daily news of arson fires within Russia. This method of warfare seemed to have a large psychological impact, especially as the Russians did not know who was doing it. I haven't heard of any such fires in the last six months to a year. Does this mean that Russia caught or killed the perpetrators? Or that Ukraine stopped supporting this tactic?
@@simonh5232 No, I just despise liars. Britain is the USA's poodle so it's media has to shovel BS at us. You can find an army of honest journalists, military types, retired CIA, etc who will tell you the truth. Judge Napolitano has them on daily.
@@tomw.6757 Yes, I believe they confuse the F-16s with their own tanks. Then I wonder what of their own junk they confuse with the two nuclear carriers they destroyed. 🤔
I was a civilian medic in Ukraine in 22, so that was a long time ago. That said, the toll on the troops was less on the psyche and more on trigger fingers getting tired. The Ukrainian fighters were often battle hardened veterans with such a deep vested interest and high degree of patriotism that I didn't see wasting orcs weighing heavy on souls. That may be a bit less true for foreign fighters, and that was a long time ago.
Warthogs are almost useless on a modern battlefield: they are extremely vulnerable to manpads and have way too little modern sensor tech to effectively find and identify targets. The gun requires a close attack with a predictable course, which is also suicidal near manpads or pantsir or frankly anything the Russians can use against air targets. The only good thing you can use then for is as bomb trucks (=missiles), and at that point you're better off just using a F-16. Most of these deficiencies were already known by the gulf war, which is why the gun was barely used anymore by the end of it. Missiles were simply much better. So, sadly brrrr only works if the enemy is low tech and has none of the above mentioned dangers available. I'm sorry.
Russia is using North Korean weapons and Iranian weapons to strike Ukrainian targets of importance. With that said Ukraine should be able to use it's allies weapons in any way it see's fit. If Russia can use it's allies weapons against Ukraine what's the problem with Ukraine using it's allies weapons against Russia? Ukraine will win this war if it can use the western weapons deep into Russia.
times radio likes to do this thing where they record a full interview, break it up into 5, 10 minute videos, publish those first, and then release the full thing later in order to double or even triple dip their view count
The Russian Air Force is not a factor because the simple fact is that every aircraft that they lose represents to equivalent of anywhere from 500,000 - 5,000,000 barrels of oil. Oil that instead of being removed from global supply actually has to be added to the global supply just to cover the costs of a lost aircraft. Black Sea Fleet vessels essentially pose the same dilemma. The West is vastly better off supplying anti-aircraft and anti-ship systems instead of having Russian oil infrastructure destroyed.
If want to know how to fly and fight a fighter airplane ask a fighter pilot not an arm chair fighter pilot on RUclips. All of the guest speakers are experts in their field including retired fighter pilots, army officers and navy officers.
So that's why Ukraine ordered the slingers from Australia. Preparing airfields with hard to detect radar / close range cheap firepower. Smart people Ukrainians
F-16 is built to send A to A metal tubes beyond visible range. That takes huge skill and experience especially as just one will probably not do the job. The pilot also has to avoid “stuff” coming the other way. Last of all US is not providing their best equipment, because they can’t risk the technology getting into enemy hands.
If squatters invade a home and sleep there.....but the homeowner can rain high explosives out of the sky onto that house until it's nothing but dust.....what have the squatters gained? That's Russia's position in Ukraine.
Do you have any proof for your claims? Or is it wishful thinking? Serious questions. That sounds overly optimistic. As a matter of facts the ukrainians can't even win back the freshly rus occupied regions in the north East, which are tiny, how would they ever reconquer the rest of the territory? I mean realistically speaking. Especially if they are running out of soldiers which is indicated by the fact that their average age of their soldiers is like 43 (!!) years. Also their losses are never made public, which indicates that they need to hide them for a reason. I think we can conclude it's not a good reason... What do you call it again when all the positive things are highlighted constantly and all the negatives things are spared out? You should know, bcs it seems you feel for that.

I was listening to someone who trains fighter pilots and he thinks it’s a much more complex issue to adapt pilots to F-16, how he described it was taking IndyCar driver and sticking them in an F1 car, yes they look kinda similar and they are both very fast, but some top IndyCar drivers have struggled to get an F1 car around the track, the technology is so different and many of your fixes and tricks to get the best from one just crashes the other, they spent so much time trying to get the pilots to unlearn habits from a much less complex aircraft and to do it right, the best success they have had is with the younger new pilots who haven’t trained with Russian aircraft, they are learning the controls tactics and combined forces techniques in a fraction of the time of the older pilots
The American military has adopted a system that tranfers the coordination and skills of video game players to their tech. Alot of our new tech is easy to use if you grew up a gamer. The hand eye shills developed over years are implemented by having the controls be similar in placement and movement as the video game controllers. Its a smart move. So yeah. Sometimes its easier to get a new person into our machines than to re-train a person who learned on migs..
Just a guess, but I think UK will send a small group of secret observers throughout the countryside. Have them observe the Kursk airport and report the exact coordinates of the planes on the tarmac. Now that they've broken thru, I can see them wreaking havoc while this is going on.
I wish Times Radio would title their videos a little better. Like maybe telling us this is an aglomeration of recent interviews and not fresh material.
Every day I see a Times Radio title that makes me think “yes. good news for Ukraine” and yet daily I’m disappointed that the actual story is much less positive than the title. I’ve got to be honest, it feels like click bait and doesn’t serve the brand IMO.

The need to come to the negotiating table wayyyyy before the war started but they just didn’t want to play ball
All the best to you 😊
Through cyber attacks and spreading disinformation on social media thereby causing chaos in those societies and diverting resources and attention to the real problem.

Great report
Russia are in much worse condition than we all can imagine.
The Russian economy are going straight down to the bottom.
ROFLMAO!
@@dudeonyoutubeThis comment is pure pro russian propaganda!
Wow. No offense but have you been seriously brainwashed?! The media keeps telling us stuff that you parrot since the BEGINNING of the war and you still fall for it? Says a lot about you and why our own propaganda works and on whom.

The difficulty of flying Lockheed planes for ex-Soviet trained pilots has been well-known for over 20 years. The surprise expressed by commentators that the F16s are not going to make a miraculous difference in the short term is surprising in itself.
Countries like Romania are still having problems in conversion training on F16s from Soviet jets, it's been a decade since they got those planes and they have full access to NATO training, that's a tough timeline for Ukraine to beat.
What a great explanation of how Ukraine has so cleverly played their cards as the man in the middle. Right; they’ve trained with both the Russians and the West. They know how stagnant and unwieldy Russian command & control often is and how flexible and surprisingly devastating the west’s operational control can be when.
The F16s are a game changer. The Term game changer doesn't mean the jets can win the war it means the jets will change the game in your favour
And save lives of Ukrainians ground troops.
Love your attitude about this bag and not caring about what people will say. kislux You are right keep your head up and no your priorities.
Thank you. Very interesting and useful.
Went to A talk by the Presedent of Gasprom (a big man) at Pembrok Collage Oxford, quite a few years ago. Tim
Truly informative. Tks a lot for those itws of all those good specialists... I can follow easely their insights of high level. Yur site is a good one. I like to view yur vids daily.
The more one clings to power,The more it slips away...Lao Duh.
Slava Ukraine.
They will use the jets strategically.
Have you thought about having Ukrainian subtitles for your posts?
Maybe you have,tellus how?
Your coverage is great👍🇺🇦
In the battle of Singapore, Japan lost 1000 soldiers and took 100,000 POWs.
In the battle of Hong Kong, Japan lost 700 soldiers and took 10,000 POWs.
Japan lost the war and it's attack on India failed. Just like Russia the Japanese had been planning and preparing for years once the allies woke up japan failed. You also have your figures wrong the Japanese casualties was 9824 for the battle of Singapore. Both territory were taken back by the allies within a few years.
So?
Slava Ukraini!🇺🇦🔱💪🏾
...that's sickening
3 Great interviewees, thank you, however they would be better as three separate interviews
❤ Ukrainian ❤
Nobody talks about something that is missing. There used to be almost daily news of arson fires within Russia. This method of warfare seemed to have a large psychological
impact, especially as the Russians did not know who was doing it. I haven't heard of any such fires in the last six months to a year. Does this mean that Russia caught or killed
the perpetrators? Or that Ukraine stopped supporting this tactic?
💙💛💪👍

An average of 1,100 Troops lost equates to 400K annualised!!! !,300 lost per dfay gets awfully close to 500K annualised!!! That is ruinous!!!

Hasn't Russia already destroyed 3,078 F-16s? Or maybe it was 11,273,
Is "F-16" code for Russian tanks? If so.....yes.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
@@tomw.6757 Yes, I believe they confuse the F-16s with their own tanks. Then I wonder what of their own junk they confuse with the two nuclear carriers they destroyed. 🤔
No,I think it was more like a million or was it two million?
@@MrSpratters Yes, more or less. And two nuclear carrier groups.
I was a civilian medic in Ukraine in 22, so that was a long time ago. That said, the toll on the troops was less on the psyche and more on trigger fingers getting tired. The Ukrainian fighters were often battle hardened veterans with such a deep vested interest and high degree of patriotism that I didn't see wasting orcs weighing heavy on souls. That may be a bit less true for foreign fighters, and that was a long time ago.
Very informative
Africa, N. Korea, and China; i think Putin is also trying to recruit in the Middle East.
No country will support Russia in Ukraine, apart for a motley bunch of mercenaries. Putin's army is trapped in the east.
Putin would recruit Martians to fight in his imperialist war if he could.
Game changing
No such thing as a game changer at this level of warfare. Unless the weapon system can end the war it isn't one.
Why not give the A10 warthog as well since US is doing away with it?
These can do a lot of damages to the armor vehicles and forces on the ground.
Warthogs are almost useless on a modern battlefield: they are extremely vulnerable to manpads and have way too little modern sensor tech to effectively find and identify targets. The gun requires a close attack with a predictable course, which is also suicidal near manpads or pantsir or frankly anything the Russians can use against air targets. The only good thing you can use then for is as bomb trucks (=missiles), and at that point you're better off just using a F-16.
Most of these deficiencies were already known by the gulf war, which is why the gun was barely used anymore by the end of it. Missiles were simply much better.
So, sadly brrrr only works if the enemy is low tech and has none of the above mentioned dangers available. I'm sorry.
@@kristian2353 well explained…thanks
@@2-worlds-on-earth you're welcome!
In the interest of full disclosure, this is a bit controversial so others may disagree.
They just nidified and keeping it thru 2035
Russia is using North Korean weapons and Iranian weapons to strike Ukrainian targets of importance. With that said Ukraine should be able to use it's allies weapons in any way it see's fit. If Russia can use it's allies weapons against Ukraine what's the problem with Ukraine using it's allies weapons against Russia? Ukraine will win this war if it can use the western weapons deep into Russia.
This is third time you've repeated this interview. It's not new, so why say it is?
Amen
Because everything on this channel is propaganda and lies.
Have this video been published before???
times radio likes to do this thing where they record a full interview, break it up into 5, 10 minute videos, publish those first, and then release the full thing later in order to double or even triple dip their view count
yes
S-500 Prometheus loss would be pricey. Supposedly, according to typical Russian BS, it has anti-satellite capabilities with 77N6-N1 interceptors.
Putin, keep sending them, we will give them express check in, and we will send them home free of charge You dope !.
The Russian Air Force is not a factor because the simple fact is that every aircraft that they lose represents to equivalent of anywhere from 500,000 - 5,000,000 barrels of oil. Oil that instead of being removed from global supply actually has to be added to the global supply just to cover the costs of a lost aircraft. Black Sea Fleet vessels essentially pose the same dilemma.
The West is vastly better off supplying anti-aircraft and anti-ship systems instead of having Russian oil infrastructure destroyed.
Ukraine is using Prisoners as well.

@@freebolt5913 really, its the same. a There's no such thing as a honest crook!
@@Sokrates66 its public knowledge. Google is your fiend.
The Poo should starting send women and children any day now.
We’ve been hearing similar narratives for the past 2 years now. Just when is the Russians running out?
If want to know how to fly and fight a fighter airplane ask a fighter pilot not an arm chair fighter pilot on RUclips. All of the guest speakers are experts in their field including retired fighter pilots, army officers and navy officers.
Too many "You knows". No, we don't know, that's why we've tuned in.
So that's why Ukraine ordered the slingers from Australia. Preparing airfields with hard to detect radar / close range cheap firepower.
Smart people Ukrainians
Leave no dictator remaining on the Russian Continent
Putin has no troops from Moscow or St Petersburg yet.
This is amazing.
As soon as he starts to use them, its all over.
Agree
The Russian Army is trapped in east Ukraine.
As you fight in Russia please send out the red luft ballons saying i want to live and must surrender.
F-16 is built to send A to A metal tubes beyond visible range. That takes huge skill and experience especially as just one will probably not do the job. The pilot also has to avoid “stuff” coming the other way. Last of all US is not providing their best equipment, because they can’t risk the technology getting into enemy hands.
This means the British fleet is dated.
The British are scared.
It‘s been the third year of the “Kiev in 3 days” war. The russkies still thought they are “winning” 😂
Based on their performance so far, none of their Navy any where in the world could last more than one day against a real navy.

If squatters invade a home and sleep there.....but the homeowner can rain high explosives out of the sky onto that house until it's nothing but dust.....what have the squatters gained?
That's Russia's position in Ukraine.
Ukraine is NOT Russia and dont want to be a puppet state to them either..
_Russia tried to win a war, and lost a Federation_ - j q t -
Do you have any proof for your claims? Or is it wishful thinking? Serious questions. That sounds overly optimistic.
As a matter of facts the ukrainians can't even win back the freshly rus occupied regions in the north East, which are tiny, how would they ever reconquer the rest of the territory? I mean realistically speaking.
Especially if they are running out of soldiers which is indicated by the fact that their average age of their soldiers is like 43 (!!) years. Also their losses are never made public, which indicates that they need to hide them for a reason. I think we can conclude it's not a good reason... What do you call it again when all the positive things are highlighted constantly and all the negatives things are spared out? You should know, bcs it seems you feel for that.
Sometimes things are not what they seem. Russia is far weaker than they look.
Putin wants Ukraine because its men have spine, resolve, fortitude and will.
Larry Johnson summed up Philip very well, as well as Doctor Gilbert Doctorow . Probably many others. Philip has no shame about making a fool of himself so as to enhance his bank balance.
I wish putin could wise up and see the light.peace is possible Ukraine 🇺🇦 wants peace.maybe the Russian people can make a difference. Stand up please.
You're not listening the 70+% support Russian occupation on the annexed territories
Russia never had a chance. The West has infinite time and resources.
So many people laugh at Russian now! It not right! Russia is strong country, of great production millet and basalt! 💪😠
But Ukraine doesn't have the manpower, and its showing current in Eastern Ukraine as their lines and positions collapse.

I was listening to someone who trains fighter pilots and he thinks it’s a much more complex issue to adapt pilots to F-16, how he described it was taking IndyCar driver and sticking them in an F1 car, yes they look kinda similar and they are both very fast, but some top IndyCar drivers have struggled to get an F1 car around the track, the technology is so different and many of your fixes and tricks to get the best from one just crashes the other, they spent so much time trying to get the pilots to unlearn habits from a much less complex aircraft and to do it right, the best success they have had is with the younger new pilots who haven’t trained with Russian aircraft, they are learning the controls tactics and combined forces techniques in a fraction of the time of the older pilots
The American military has adopted a system that tranfers the coordination and skills of video game players to their tech.
Alot of our new tech is easy to use if you grew up a gamer.
The hand eye shills developed over years are implemented by having the controls be similar in placement and movement as the video game controllers.
Its a smart move.
So yeah.
Sometimes its easier to get a new person into our machines than to re-train a person who learned on migs..
Wow these people in this channel
Just a guess, but I think UK will send a small group of secret observers throughout the countryside. Have them observe the Kursk airport and report the exact coordinates of the planes on the tarmac. Now that they've broken thru, I can see them wreaking havoc while this is going on.
Let's not forget that Zelenski is half Jewish. Culturally, he's one of God's chosen ❤ 🙏
Russia says the Afghanistan cost them 15,000 men. In reality, it was 15,000 per year probably a great deal more. They were there for 10 years.

I wish Times Radio would title their videos a little better. Like maybe telling us this is an aglomeration of recent interviews and not fresh material.
It's about time the people of Russia new what really is going on get rid of Putin simple
What about the German reconfigure tanks that were going to be used to destroy Russian drones
i'm a UGE fan of gloobal par!
The six F-16s they have thus far are helpful for air defense missions. The rest of the F-16s they receive will give them more offensive capabilities.
It's almost as if he wants the excuse
We, the British, should be careful about criticising other people's aircraft carrier force. But, an excellent synopsis. Thanks.
So what you're saying is that the Ukraine doesn't stand a cat in hell's chance and should just roll over. Somehow, I don't think they want to.
Every day I see a Times Radio title that makes me think “yes. good news for Ukraine” and yet daily I’m disappointed that the actual story is much less positive than the title. I’ve got to be honest, it feels like click bait and doesn’t serve the brand IMO. One day I hope to see a Times Radio title like these and not read elsewhere that Russia just took more territory and is still out producing Ukrainian allies 3 to 1 in artillery shells etc.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
