Ah, you mentioned a subject I have studied that is near and dear to my heart: wartime logistics. My hero in this field is from the WWll era, Brig. Gen. George C. Marshall, a man with an incredible life. In fact, he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. He was in charge of all supplies and equipment in both the European and Pacific theatres. Somehow, he was able to make miracles happen and get our troops what they needed on schedule. Trillions of tons of cargo of every variety had to get to our troops thousands of miles away. He had an interesting management style. When Marshall ran into problems with critical deliveries he would personally talk with anyone from a buck private to the President himself who had any knowledge at all about a subject probing, looking for solutions. A brilliant leader who also an inventor. I wish we had someone of his caliber that could be assisting with the complex coordination in efforts from the whole free world to supply Ukraine. But I'm sure if George was still with us he would find a way to keep things running smoothly.

Ukraine is running out of men. And they have lost almost all of their special forces. Well trained troups are almost nonexistent due to losses. They are sending old men and women to the front lines now.
Russia compensates their stupidity with throwing more bodies at the problem, hoping that fixes the problem. I can totally see the multiple points of failure of the Russian armies being taught in military academies from this point on.
I’m surprised Putin would want to meet with China after some of his tanks failed because of cheap Chinese tires…in Cuba there was a joke about the new Chinese busses breaking down while the US cars from the ‘50s were still running
Putin knows that China wants Manchuria back, and there would be no better time to take it then now. They are going to try their best to be friendly to China
I remember seeing a bunch of Russians in the comments on RUclips videos trying to say they would destroy the US and NATO... I wish I could talk to them same guys now! 😆😂😂 lol
now Russia is fighting with Ukraine, which is being helped by the entire NATO bloc, they supply all sorts of PMCs, weapons, volunteers, money, etc., RUSSIA just HUMILIATED you, look at the losses of Ukrainians, and the cemeteries of fascists are flourishing there
So biased, that despite the fact that most of us hope Ukraine achieves victory, makes it sound like a walk in the park as it were. They are fighting much harder
Good on ya for a more proper use of the Latin word 'decimate', which originally was a punishment levied on Roman Legions that broke and ran in battle: 1 in 10 in the legion were killed, with the unlucky ones being executed by their messmates. It left a legion with enough troops to function. So decimate means "punished" but still functional.
This guys never seizes to amaze me with over exaggerated estimates of Ukraine ability and strength and questioning his ability to do research nothing is referenced.
FUNNY UPDATE: Ukraine has also fielded cardboard facsimiles of the HIMARS which confuse the enemy and force them to waste weapons. (But nobody is supposed to know this, shhhh)
Shhhh..... don't tell anyone but thar information is all over youtube and telegram... i definitely wont tell anyone and i definitely won't mention that Hamas's attack on israel was probably supplied and funded and planned by the Russians in order to distract the world while they prepare their next move .... maybe

29:34 "Russia's army loses to bad tiers"... I think you meant *_bad tires_* , unless you were referring to bad tiers of corruption, in which case you'd be correct, too.
The M270 was a joint development between the US, Germany, France and Britain with the first operational vehicle being delivered to the German Army. The vehicle itself is rather unimpressive, it is the rockets which rock. At first the US and Germany were building rockets for the different plattforms, sometimes in the mid-2000 Germany ceased production but recontinued to produce GLMRS in 2023 - actually Germany currently produces more GLMRS rockets than the US. Also they are much cheaper, instead of $135000 just €85000 but are doing pretty much the same.
Thanks for sharing that knowledge. Finally the fact that the 🇺🇸 and 🇩🇪 version are slightly different (hence the 🇩🇪 being called MARS, later upgraded to MARS II) makes sense, for some reason any multinational project either splits in two national ones, building on prior joint developments (like Abrams & Leopard 2) or they result in different versions of the system, like with the NH90. I don't think this inability to agree on one common design is helpful, as could be seen with 🇩🇪 scrambling to have an 🇺🇸 company upgrade at least some of their MARS II for the M31 GPS-guided missile in time to send to 🇺🇦, as the Bundeswehr had neglected updates made with the 🇺🇸 HIMARS during that unfortunate decade of shrinking budgets and new requirements. Primarily the requirements from the US to have partners with capabilities for asymmetric warfare like in Afghanistan. At times 🇩🇪 had almost 10,000 soldiers stationed there, which the MoD only managed to finance by brilliant decisions like dismantling an independent Air Defense, selling those Gepards that 🇩🇪 (and recently the 🇺🇸) are now scrambling to buy back at 2-3 times the price they were sold for by 🇩🇪 15 years ago.
Our wepons in Ukraine were proven inferior to Russian ones. Idk what people are talking about but situation on the battlefield is clear . Our gear is joke. Just over hyped and overpriced
@@5tre55full I call you a paid Russian troll because I have seen German equipment outclassing Russian Equipment by two Generations and the M270 is a joint development between the US and Germany although the German version is called MARS/HiMARS. The sheer range, precision and reliability is incredible, the PzH2000 has been seen firing 100.000 shells with the same barel while only becoming slightly less precise and a range of 56 and 72km is two to three times higher than the russian systems. The light US M777 on the other hand is light, easy to handle, cheap and numerous and is able to fire nearly the same range but is unarmored and not self propelled.
Air defense is like air conditioning. My RV has it, but 3 days after the last gas station visit, it doesn't. I can sit in a traffic jam about 3 days on a full tank of gas and have air conditioning all day. Mind you, radar needs to run 24/7. It's simply inevitable that when your column runs out of fuel, it is out of air defense shortly. Our troops can't do any better if you send them out without fuel supplies.
@@rolandxor179 The US also had RF detectors (essentially primitive radar) on those flak shells so they would detonate when close to enemy planes. If you want to know how well eyeballs and ears work, look at how well the Japanese AA worked against American planes. That is to say: not very. And that's against WWII planes, you think it'll be easier or harder to pull off the same thing with a modern jet moving at supersonic speeds and shooting from beyond visual range?
@@plmokm33 It's impossible too high and too fast. You will be torn to shreds by a A-10 Warthog and not hear the prrrrrt of the 30mm cannon. I would guess some form of IR passive detection is probably the least demanding energy wise.
High Marsh and high altitude flight did a lot of damage to Russia's hardware and weaponry and the talents of the Ukrainian military made this war very successful. The end of an era .
There is 1 famous weapon the U.S. military uses that has been in use for 102 years the "Ma Deuce" (M2) it 1st deployed to the U.S. Army in 1921 . Just because its old don't make it useless!
FYI, the phrase is “It can’t be OVERSTATED”. Think about it: if it can’t be “understated”, then it is completely unimportant. If it can’t be “overstated”, then no amount of overstatement is too much. You see?
You know something I find very ironic is that even just a couple years ago maybe two or three years ago and for many years before that everybody talked about how the US was not prepared for Russia or China because we've been fighting a different type of war with the wars in Iraq in Afghanistan. But clearly our military thinkers and are extremely expensive military industrial complex which I don't trust have been planning for these types of things for a long time and come up with all kinds of wonder weapons that seem to be making it much safer for Ukrainian soldiers to fight and also giving them a force multiplier leverage that they wouldn't have otherwise. I have to say I'm impressed even though I didn't expect things to go this well for Western gear I'm glad that it does because maybe it will keep the world at peace for another 50 years hopefully. I know it's a strange concept and it is a concept that I didn't create but that by having superior weapons to your enemies especially if they're far superior might keep them at bay from attacking you or starting another war. It's the whole concept behind mutually assured destruction and nuclear weapons is that they will never have to be used because they keep these countries from fighting each other well we're in a crazy situation right now where Russia is fighting Ukraine but Ukraine is backed by not just the US but the entire West. So it does look like it could get very close to world war 3 but then again maybe Russia will finally give up I don't know why it hasn't yet but on top of that maybe China will realize it's not worth trying to take Taiwan and we can live in peace and continue to do business with each other and not keep messing with each other😊
Yeah. And now its proven that Russian gear is much superior compared to western gear. Its just overhyped and overpriced junk that's good in fighting sheppards
That’s certainly the best scenario that could come out of this as of this point. Now due to Russia and china having world leaders that simply don’t see it as that, I highly doubt this is what our future will hold, although I certainly hope it turns out like you said. If China decides to get involved while we’re still mainly supplying Ukraine, as our economy crashes, I highly doubt we could keep up w/ China as well as trying to supply and defend Ukraine. NOT to mention the US trying to also defend against HAMAS. Also look no further then the United States very own President. Joe Biden! Completely incompetent to handle a full sentence or conversation, let alone be able to be in control of millions on American lives and nuclear bombs.
@TroyMetzger-cs8yr I undertake what you're saying and wholeheartedly think the same as you. The only comment I want to share is when it comes to President Joe biden. Look how efficient and calculated the US is in ALL of the theaters we are part of taking in. This is not Joe's doing. He's just a figurehead to appease the mass population. My thoughts are that our culture of very sophisticated networks of leadership and specialized departments create what the US "IS." I understood the real job role of the president even from a very uneducated young brain that I had when I was younger. Unify the people to your best ability. Let the professionals do ours. Thank you.
Russia really did fail at their restructuring efforts. Its interesting how many times desert storm is brought up because the US military was in shambles just one war before, vietnam. Morale was low, equipment was middle of the road at best/becoming outdated, and corruption and overspending was creeping in on all branches. So the government setout to create the next generation of their military in all 3 aspects. Management, equipment, and training. and desert storm was that test which it passed with flying colors. Well trained soldiers taught on philosophy of initiative and on-the-spot decision adapting, new or updated equipment like the F15 and Abrams, and a well coordinated network of generals.
I think you are really underestimating North Vietnam. Their commander was brilliant and followed the art of war. Without killing him that war would have been very difficult and costly to win. Even at the end of the war the Vietnamese were really just ramping up. Which is why is was such an easy choice to leave.
Us war effort was not in shambles after Vietnam.... You can say that the US lost Vietnam but the amount of war casualties say different. Also the North was fighting with Chinese soldiers just like the Korean War and North Korea fought the US with Chinese Soldiers. China wants a buffer state and that's the same as Russia wants in Ukraine (buffer states from Nato similar to the former Warsaw Pact which was part of the Soviet Union).. The US chose to withdrawal from Nam verus fight a World War for a country that was not worth fighting a World War for(in Vietnam).
@@virgelmichael6730but that war the point of it was to keep communism out of south Vietnam not a body count they had and held land. They took over south Vietnam so no matter how you look at the the entire objective was a failure that's like saying after Germany's blitzkrieg France was the winner of the battle technically most of theirs was captured not killed so body count France winner by 1941 lol

Send 16 more with supplies and as long as Israel never bombed that hospita, send them what the need to. If we dont protect the world order we lose, end of story!🇺🇸🇺🇦🇦🇷
I agree. Ukraine and Israel deserves our support - so thank you! But a few things need to be clarified here I think: Israel has a very strong army and propably doesn t need support with weapon systems from us as much as Ukraine does. As of now it is a proven fact, that the Palestinian Hamas connected Shaifa Hospital with their terror tunnel network that they used for terrorist purposes like commanding their terrorists and holding hostages while enjoying the special protected status of the hospital above (which didn t even result in Israel bombing it to the ground, even though it would make the hospital a legit military target). And finally this 🇮🇱 is the flag of Israel. 🇦🇷 That is Argentine (which is also a great country since they decided to vote out Socialism a few days ago😂)
That's a pretty gross generalisation spoken from a pulpit of misknowledge. And i say this a an Ukrainian who,s actually living in the Ukraine. We are losing and have no military age men left. The average age of the Ukrainian soldier is 43. Let that number sink in. You westerners are getting lied to by your own governments and media.
Let the truth be spoken. Sorry for all of your losses, but hopefully people will wake up and just give Russia what they want. I know the US and Ukrainian government are just using your people for their own personal gain.
This is how I remember the initial attack with paratroopers, thinking Russia might win whatever they were doing ..that changed, but no one talks about the first days of the invasion. I find that weird
I think that's because most don't remember because alot of people weren't paying attention until about a week or two in. I only knew because I follow politics around the globe and I remember the first few days I really had to search to find info on what was going on unlike now it's plastered everywhere.

Wonderful video. Thank you.
Thank you for the non-biased reporting!
Bais my @ss. How is ukraine not winning?
This was comprehensive & quite thorough , thanks !
thorough if you don't know anything AT ALL about what is actually happening. In the real world this is about as accurate as reading LORD OF THE RINGS to understand the developments and progression of WW2.
Ukraine is running out of men. And they have lost almost all of their special forces. Well trained troups are almost nonexistent due to losses. They are sending old men and women to the front lines now.
sad gotta go with what you got
Other way around.. there’s lots of videos of ukrainian troops taking old 50 something russian soldiers captive.
Thanks obama
Russia compensates their stupidity with throwing more bodies at the problem, hoping that fixes the problem. I can totally see the multiple points of failure of the Russian armies being taught in military academies from this point on.
So is that why zelensky has resorted to rounding up every elderly man and every teenager and now women to throw them at artilary fire?
I’m surprised Putin would want to meet with China after some of his tanks failed because of cheap Chinese tires…in Cuba there was a joke about the new Chinese busses breaking down while the US cars from the ‘50s were still running
this aged well
Putin knows that China wants Manchuria back, and there would be no better time to take it then now. They are going to try their best to be friendly to China
Great job! Very informative, very good explained visually and narrated.

So biased, that despite the fact that most of us hope Ukraine achieves victory, makes it sound like a walk in the park as it were. They are fighting much harder
Good on ya for a more proper use of the Latin word 'decimate', which originally was a punishment levied on Roman Legions that broke and ran in battle: 1 in 10 in the legion were killed, with the unlucky ones being executed by their messmates. It left a legion with enough troops to function. So decimate means "punished" but still functional.
It literally means "reduced by 10%".
This guys never seizes to amaze me with over exaggerated estimates of Ukraine ability and strength and questioning his ability to do research nothing is referenced.
FUNNY UPDATE: Ukraine has also fielded cardboard facsimiles of the HIMARS which confuse the enemy and force them to waste weapons. (But nobody is supposed to know this, shhhh)
Shhhh..... don't tell anyone but thar information is all over youtube and telegram... i definitely wont tell anyone and i definitely won't mention that Hamas's attack on israel was probably supplied and funded and planned by the Russians in order to distract the world while they prepare their next move .... maybe

This video now looks more like American mouthpiece than actual good old infographic videos
The M270 was a joint development between the US, Germany, France and Britain with the first operational vehicle being delivered to the German Army. The vehicle itself is rather unimpressive, it is the rockets which rock. At first the US and Germany were building rockets for the different plattforms, sometimes in the mid-2000 Germany ceased production but recontinued to produce GLMRS in 2023 - actually Germany currently produces more GLMRS rockets than the US. Also they are much cheaper, instead of $135000 just €85000 but are doing pretty much the same.
Thanks for sharing that knowledge. Finally the fact that the 🇺🇸 and 🇩🇪 version are slightly different (hence the 🇩🇪 being called MARS, later upgraded to MARS II) makes sense, for some reason any multinational project either splits in two national ones, building on prior joint developments (like Abrams & Leopard 2) or they result in different versions of the system, like with the NH90.
I don't think this inability to agree on one common design is helpful, as could be seen with 🇩🇪 scrambling to have an 🇺🇸 company upgrade at least some of their MARS II for the M31 GPS-guided missile in time to send to 🇺🇦, as the Bundeswehr had neglected updates made with the 🇺🇸 HIMARS during that unfortunate decade of shrinking budgets and new requirements.
Primarily the requirements from the US to have partners with capabilities for asymmetric warfare like in Afghanistan.
At times 🇩🇪 had almost 10,000 soldiers stationed there, which the MoD only managed to finance by brilliant decisions like dismantling an independent Air Defense, selling those Gepards that 🇩🇪 (and recently the 🇺🇸) are now scrambling to buy back at 2-3 times the price they were sold for by 🇩🇪 15 years ago.
And them they hit innocent Russian speaking Ukrainians with them.
@@vjsuxujrix9245 You mean like the president?
Our wepons in Ukraine were proven inferior to Russian ones. Idk what people are talking about but situation on the battlefield is clear . Our gear is joke. Just over hyped and overpriced
@@5tre55full I call you a paid Russian troll because I have seen German equipment outclassing Russian Equipment by two Generations and the M270 is a joint development between the US and Germany although the German version is called MARS/HiMARS.
The sheer range, precision and reliability is incredible, the PzH2000 has been seen firing 100.000 shells with the same barel while only becoming slightly less precise and a range of 56 and 72km is two to three times higher than the russian systems. The light US M777 on the other hand is light, easy to handle, cheap and numerous and is able to fire nearly the same range but is unarmored and not self propelled.
This reminds me of the video Mr. Ballen did about the Russian Japanese war. Russian incompetence goes waaaaaaaaaaaaay back. 😅
Arrogance and alcohol damage
Air defense is like air conditioning. My RV has it, but 3 days after the last gas station visit, it doesn't. I can sit in a traffic jam about 3 days on a full tank of gas and have air conditioning all day. Mind you, radar needs to run 24/7.
It's simply inevitable that when your column runs out of fuel, it is out of air defense shortly. Our troops can't do any better if you send them out without fuel supplies.
You need to use those eyeballs and ears and fire a flak cannon WW2 style. Look up footage of how the USN intercepted kamikaze planes during WW2.
Fuel is the major logistical problem for any army. Russia just sends it - need it or not. Until Himars takes out the supply trains.
@@rolandxor179 The US also had RF detectors (essentially primitive radar) on those flak shells so they would detonate when close to enemy planes. If you want to know how well eyeballs and ears work, look at how well the Japanese AA worked against American planes. That is to say: not very. And that's against WWII planes, you think it'll be easier or harder to pull off the same thing with a modern jet moving at supersonic speeds and shooting from beyond visual range?
@@plmokm33 It's impossible too high and too fast. You will be torn to shreds by a A-10 Warthog and not hear the prrrrrt of the 30mm cannon. I would guess some form of IR passive detection is probably the least demanding energy wise.
@@rolandxor179 Right, so going VFR isn't really that practical with AA.

There is 1 famous weapon the U.S. military uses that has been in use for 102 years the "Ma Deuce" (M2) it 1st deployed to the U.S. Army in 1921 . Just because its old don't make it useless!

FYI, the phrase is “It can’t be OVERSTATED”. Think about it: if it can’t be “understated”, then it is completely unimportant. If it can’t be “overstated”, then no amount of overstatement is too much. You see?
You know something I find very ironic is that even just a couple years ago maybe two or three years ago and for many years before that everybody talked about how the US was not prepared for Russia or China because we've been fighting a different type of war with the wars in Iraq in Afghanistan. But clearly our military thinkers and are extremely expensive military industrial complex which I don't trust have been planning for these types of things for a long time and come up with all kinds of wonder weapons that seem to be making it much safer for Ukrainian soldiers to fight and also giving them a force multiplier leverage that they wouldn't have otherwise. I have to say I'm impressed even though I didn't expect things to go this well for Western gear I'm glad that it does because maybe it will keep the world at peace for another 50 years hopefully. I know it's a strange concept and it is a concept that I didn't create but that by having superior weapons to your enemies especially if they're far superior might keep them at bay from attacking you or starting another war. It's the whole concept behind mutually assured destruction and nuclear weapons is that they will never have to be used because they keep these countries from fighting each other well we're in a crazy situation right now where Russia is fighting Ukraine but Ukraine is backed by not just the US but the entire West. So it does look like it could get very close to world war 3 but then again maybe Russia will finally give up I don't know why it hasn't yet but on top of that maybe China will realize it's not worth trying to take Taiwan and we can live in peace and continue to do business with each other and not keep messing with each other😊
Yeah. And now its proven that Russian gear is much superior compared to western gear. Its just overhyped and overpriced junk that's good in fighting sheppards
That’s certainly the best scenario that could come out of this as of this point. Now due to Russia and china having world leaders that simply don’t see it as that, I highly doubt this is what our future will hold, although I certainly hope it turns out like you said. If China decides to get involved while we’re still mainly supplying Ukraine, as our economy crashes, I highly doubt we could keep up w/ China as well as trying to supply and defend Ukraine. NOT to mention the US trying to also defend against HAMAS. Also look no further then the United States very own President. Joe Biden! Completely incompetent to handle a full sentence or conversation, let alone be able to be in control of millions on American lives and nuclear bombs.
@TroyMetzger-cs8yr I undertake what you're saying and wholeheartedly think the same as you. The only comment I want to share is when it comes to President Joe biden. Look how efficient and calculated the US is in ALL of the theaters we are part of taking in. This is not Joe's doing. He's just a figurehead to appease the mass population. My thoughts are that our culture of very sophisticated networks of leadership and specialized departments create what the US "IS." I understood the real job role of the president even from a very uneducated young brain that I had when I was younger. Unify the people to your best ability. Let the professionals do ours.
Thank you.
Can you say Russian incompetence, boys and girls?
Salute to your animators and content writers.
This is the reason Black History needs to be taught in school. If what you said is true, America is in the dark.
Russia really did fail at their restructuring efforts. Its interesting how many times desert storm is brought up because the US military was in shambles just one war before, vietnam. Morale was low, equipment was middle of the road at best/becoming outdated, and corruption and overspending was creeping in on all branches. So the government setout to create the next generation of their military in all 3 aspects. Management, equipment, and training. and desert storm was that test which it passed with flying colors. Well trained soldiers taught on philosophy of initiative and on-the-spot decision adapting, new or updated equipment like the F15 and Abrams, and a well coordinated network of generals.
I think you are really underestimating North Vietnam. Their commander was brilliant and followed the art of war. Without killing him that war would have been very difficult and costly to win. Even at the end of the war the Vietnamese were really just ramping up. Which is why is was such an easy choice to leave.
Jimmy Carter get’s less credit for this than he deserves. He was smart enough to allow change, but also smart enough to not get personal about it.
Us war effort was not in shambles after Vietnam.... You can say that the US lost Vietnam but the amount of war casualties say different. Also the North was fighting with Chinese soldiers just like the Korean War and North Korea fought the US with Chinese Soldiers. China wants a buffer state and that's the same as Russia wants in Ukraine (buffer states from Nato similar to the former Warsaw Pact which was part of the Soviet Union).. The US chose to withdrawal from Nam verus fight a World War for a country that was not worth fighting a World War for(in Vietnam).
How long can u still trying to say ukraine is winning russia is lossing? When russia still hold umraine lands? Maybe upto 10yrs later?
@@virgelmichael6730but that war the point of it was to keep communism out of south Vietnam not a body count they had and held land. They took over south Vietnam so no matter how you look at the the entire objective was a failure that's like saying after Germany's blitzkrieg France was the winner of the battle technically most of theirs was captured not killed so body count France winner by 1941 lol
If Russia is so incompetent, why and how are they still in Ukraine?
Because everyone expects magical fast results or instant gratification
Next do a show on how the Ruling Class will go to great lengths to protect Ukraine because that's where the Ruling Class goes to launder US Tax Dollars..

Send 16 more with supplies and as long as Israel never bombed that hospita, send them what the need to. If we dont protect the world order we lose, end of story!🇺🇸🇺🇦🇦🇷
I agree. Ukraine and Israel deserves our support - so thank you!
But a few things need to be clarified here I think: Israel has a very strong army and propably doesn t need support with weapon systems from us as much as Ukraine does. As of now it is a proven fact, that the Palestinian Hamas connected Shaifa Hospital with their terror tunnel network that they used for terrorist purposes like commanding their terrorists and holding hostages while enjoying the special protected status of the hospital above (which didn t even result in Israel bombing it to the ground, even though it would make the hospital a legit military target). And finally this 🇮🇱 is the flag of Israel. 🇦🇷 That is Argentine (which is also a great country since they decided to vote out Socialism a few days ago😂)
That's a pretty gross generalisation spoken from a pulpit of misknowledge.
And i say this a an Ukrainian who,s actually living in the Ukraine.
We are losing and have no military age men left.
The average age of the Ukrainian soldier is 43.
Let that number sink in.
You westerners are getting lied to by your own governments and media.
Let the truth be spoken. Sorry for all of your losses, but hopefully people will wake up and just give Russia what they want. I know the US and Ukrainian government are just using your people for their own personal gain.
This video is intended to influence Americans to continue to support the war.
So much for faith in your country.
This is how I remember the initial attack with paratroopers, thinking Russia might win whatever they were doing ..that changed, but no one talks about the first days of the invasion. I find that weird
I think that's because most don't remember because alot of people weren't paying attention until about a week or two in. I only knew because I follow politics around the globe and I remember the first few days I really had to search to find info on what was going on unlike now it's plastered everywhere.
