I Wish I saw this before shopify site was built a week ago. Anyways I have a question, flamethrower re the Ukrainians surviving the constant thermobaric war heads being shot by the flamethrower or artillery 155s how do they still have the will to go on?
The funny thing is that Anne de Kiev was Anne de Russe before the cancellation of everything, related to Russia. Anna was a Russian princess, daughter of Russian Prince Yaroslaw the Wise, ruling in the Russian city of Kiev (there was no Ukraine whatsoever in XI th century)
From a guy from France. I can tell. We dont know what we're teaching them. Even the guys (from my regiment) whose job is basically train people with the weapons (we're calling that A.I.T) dont really know what to teach, for them, the first time they saw a trench in real life was during our "trench training" (where the goal was for each platoon to build a trench). So we have nothing tangible to teach the Ukrainians. And i'm only talking about the trench combat here. Not about CQB, drones, mechanised warfare... The only reason that i see for this training is that France is trying to "steal" the experience of the Ukrainians. And Ukraine is naïve enough to believe that "NATO training" is like a "game changer training"...
@@blugaledoh2669she was Rus but Rus descendants state are Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Claiming that she is a Kiev princess is ridiculous since at the time of Kievan Rus they also have some modern day Russian territory. Also, Russia federation is the successor state of both Russian Empire and Soviet Union.
@@manuelsolo1339there is absolutely no proof of that as the Russians don't reveal their losses and the Ukrainians, constantly retreating, are in no position to count bodies...more Western mainstream bs.
a small comment about Anna of Kiev. For centuries she was called Anna Russian or Anna de Russie in French, she was renamed Anna of Kiev in 1996 due to the demands of the Ukrainian diaspora. She is the daughter of Yaroslav the Wise, who wrote a code of laws called Russian Truth, such a Ukrainian princess.
Uncomfortable facts to people from there. They should just claim they want to be free instead of acting like they don't share a history and land with Russians
@@hardcorra Kiev ya era una capital prospera , cuando Moscú era un solo un embarrado cruce de caminos llenos de bandidos y saqueadores de la peor calaña , del nivel de Putin , asesino de opositores , periodistas y manifestantes .
Now all the pieces of the puzzle have come together: Boris Johnson: ‘ We will not sign anything, continue to fight.’ Zelensky-The American army does not have to fight to defend the interests of NATO, the Ukrainians do this... I think this is a good decision” Lindsey Graham - there are trillions of dollars worth of resources buried in Ukraine and it will all be our American, and American soldiers will not have to die for it. Andrzej Duda :The lives of Ukrainian soldiers are “much cheaper” than the lives of military personnel from the United States and Europe.
It is funny to hear that the daughter of the Old Russian Prince Yaroslav came from Ukraine in 1051. Ukraine appeared only in the XX century. It's as funny as the phrase: "Julius Caesar wanted to come to the USA."
" Rus " Actually means Viking.... Look it up! Ukraine did exist; ruclips.net/video/x4_ZsqmkuK4/видео.html I know they existed because they helped settle our Prairie Provinces... when they came en masse, in between the 1800's and 1900's they didn't call themselves "Russian"... they called themselves UKRAINIAN! They spoke Ukrainian, ate Ukrainian food and enjoyed Ukrainian culture. I worked with a Ukrainian Canadian who was part of "The Devil's Brigade" (google it please), who were one of the greatest Special Forces Regiments of WW2, who parachuted behind enemy lines and FUGGED up the Germans badly... It was the German Wehrmacht that gave them the name "The Devil's Brigade". He was born and raised in Saskatchewan Canada, his father came from Ukraine to farm in Canada... so please, PLEASE don't repeat Putin's history lessons because they are quite wrong... Putin is NOT a historian, or even any kind of expert on Ukraine!! THINK MAN! Actual quote; "Russia can take over all of Kyiv in less than two weeks" Vladimir Putin 2014. So what does the above quote tell you? It speaks volumes to me, of the type of person who says such a thing. It speaks of delusion, miscalculation, unintelligence, and a desire for war, not peace. So YES, Ukraine had their own culture, and language and wanted to remain Free, Independent and Democratic. If Putin wanted them to partake in "The Russian Mir", he should have used honey instead of war, as we say in my country. And now the Ruble is failing, the Russian Oil and Gas industry is evaporating, and the Russian economy is locked into a war economy which even that is now failing. This war need not happen, but for a warmonger who pretends he is a historian. Putin is the problem; ***Initiate Active Measures*** Peace n Love.
@Scalpaxos Exactly right. Strangely enough the only thing of the French 3 related to the military is the cheese as Napoleon is said to have given it the name of Camembert.
To which the French NAFO corps will probably answer that our croissants, champagne, and camemberts are still superior since probably battle tested already 😂
7:04 What other Ukraine? Ukraine as a state appeared on the map only in 1917, and gained full independence only in 1991. The union was concluded with the state of Rus. Anna had the nickname "Anna of Russia" She began to be called Anna of Kyiv only in the 21st century under the influence of Ukrainian propaganda.
100% true. Anna's father, Yaroslav "the Wise", was originally the Prince of Rostov and Novgorod, and only later the Prince of Kyiv. Nobody had even heard of the "country" of Ukraine back then, there was a single "Great Rus'".
Actually it was drinking buddy's ex ( Russian Communist party leader) Brezhnev and ex (Ukrainian Communist party leader) Nikita Kruschev that annexed Russian, Polish, Lithuanian territory and redefined the new borders of the U.S.S.R.U after he took control of the Kremlin in the mid 1950', and or but Crimea was designated the separate and independant Socialist Republic of Crimea with its own parliamentary administrative bureaucracy independent from Ukraine, but it always remained in the control of and home for the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Sorry, did i hear 9 weeks training ?. As retired military officer, it takes at least 6 months for basic training and another 1 year plus for battle inoculation and tactical training. Not considered other trainings required like survival, first aid and medical evacuation etc... Another men to the meat grinder....
They are training them while the war is ongoing, they are obviously going to be meat for the grinder but it’s impossible to give full military training in the current situation. At least it’s more than the Russians who get 2-4 weeks training maximum
@@vokqe This is not WW1 or WW2. Warfare has evolved over the years. The tactics and weapons of modern warfare are very different today and still evolving. Who would have thought that drones would be a battlefield game changer. There is no way to transform a fresh civilian without prior military experience to a fighting machine within 9 weeks. WW2 was fought with numbers with basic infantry, armoured and artillery skills. Then with Naval Gun Support from the Navy and air power that was relatively slow.
LOL!!! 😂 Ann - was a daughter of RUSSIAN Prince - Yaroslav. She was born in Novgorod and NEVER in her life visited Kiev. She grew up with her mom and siblings in old Russian city - Novgorod; and went to the France from Novgorod. Only after 900 years, AFTER Yaroslav and his kids, people first time heard word - “Ukrainian”
"Anne de Kyiv is Ukrainian princess" is statement making as much sense as "Anne de Kyiv is Soviet princess". Sharing the same territory not make countries the same, Byzantium and Turkey can confirm. Anne was princess of Ancient Rus, country that predates Russia, Ukraine and Belarus and was shattered by Mongolian invasion. Ukraine claim most direct descendance because it holds Kiev (but not Novgorod that is earlier capital of Rus than Kiev) and Russia claim it because Russia descends from north-eastern provinces that remained independent, on the contrary to land annexed by Poland (that land become Ukraine in the future) and Litvania (that become Belarus). But right answer its that no country can claim legacy of Rus as its own, it belongs to all Eastern Slavs.
Its a correct logic. However the Russian hold stronger claim over ancient Rus heritage including Kiev and Rurik dynasty. Kievlan Rus is simply the name of the country, not meaning Kiev was the country. Father of Anna the Kiev was both the grand Prince of Novgorod and Kiev at the same time. Because Rurik dynastry was founded in Novgorod, that is where first Rurik was crowned Prince by Novgorod nobles. Son of Rurik - Oleg the Wise conquered Kiev and move capital to Kiev. That is when Rus began called Kievlan Rus. The Mongols invaded Kiev but Rus never perish, the Rurik dynasty live on, so it is a misconception that Kievlan Rus the state was destroyed. No it first expanded from Novgorod to Kiev and several other cities, it was a big state, Kiev was not the only Rus city, there were cities of Ryazan, Vladimir, a Rurik Prince ruled each of them, it was a big dynasty. All those titles were simply feudal titul indicating who rule the land. Like all heir of English throne hold title of Prince or Princes of Wales before crowned king. The Mongols didnt destroyed Ancient Rus state, they captured several cities including Kiev then Rurik dynasty accepted to be their vassals and keep ruling those cities. Rus paid tributes to Mongols in form of taxes and sometimes troops to serve in Khan's army. But Rurik Prince sitting in Vladimir or Novgorod still hold title of Kiev Grand Prince and still rule the city on behalf of Mongols and collect tax for them and for himself. First Moscow Prince Daniel Moscovskiy is son of Alexander Nevskiy Grand Prince of Novgorod and Kiev. Unlike late Grand Prince of Kiev, who couldnt rebuild a strong state, Moscow Prince keep building up his strength and expand its power and layed foundation for a big Empire. Kiev eventually end up in hands of Poles and later was bought back by Russian Tsar. Rurik dynasty hold claim over Kievlan Rus heritage as well as all Rus heritage, First Russian Tsar was a Rurik, when Rurik dynasty ended, the Russian nobles elected a new Tsar Mikhail, who was related to Rurik on female line and was a legitimate heir. Russian Empire therefore is a heir of ancient Rus. Soviet Russia (RSFSR not USSR) is a legal heir of Russian Empire by treaties and legal agreement. Russia by international treaties and agreement is the legal heir of both USSR and Russian Empire, it inherits all debts, rights and duty of both states. Soviet Ukraine was created by legal agreement of Soviet Leadership under Lenin, contemprary Ukraine state with its own independent government was created by legal agreement with Russia, Russia allowed them to leave and forgave them all debts under Soviet rule, also let Ukraine hold all territories RSFSR gave it, and didnt demand them back. Legally speaking RSFSR gave Soviet Ukraine state those territories, not to new government of contemporary Ukraine, that replaced them, when new govenrment which replaced Communists party of Ukraine came in power, Russia passed the right of those territories to them. A lot of territories of today Ukraine is still legally belong to Russia if Ukraine state stop to exist. So Russia hold historical and legal claim on Entire Ukraine. After Russia there are many countries that hold claim over Western territorie of Ukraine. The reason Russian Federation had to inherit legal right and duty of both USSR and Russian Empire, after USSR dibanned, was because if nobody hold that legal status, all historical agreement made in the past will be nullified, and the border of today Ukraine, Moldova can be revised by their neighbors. There will be a lot of argument between Poland, Romania, Hungary, Autria on on side and Ukraine, Moldova on other side which cant be solved simply because the historical packs and agreement made my Russian Empire and USSR regarding border of those states stop working. Those documents were not signed by those states, because those states didnt existed as independent state.
They Kiev they hold is not even the original one. The original one got burnt into the soil by Mongols. The new Kiev was rebuilt a good chunk away from it's original place.
I mean, Russia has like 2 months before Trump goes into office. And if Ukraine could hold their current position and maintain their Kursk pocket, the negotiations may be softened.
you know it's bad that it needs 100+ videos of a repetitive, propagandistic video to showcase z bots actually "progressing" frontline by measly kilometers it's not something you z bots can brag about when sustaining heavy losses consistently
@@31mAyMgaYangaRussia is recovering these losses. Ukraine-no. In Ukraine mobilization is used: men over 25 years are taken to war straight from the streets.
It seems weird to me that the French army, that hasn't fought a real war in decades, is training the Ukrainian army, which actually has years of combat experience at this point
I have a video in which one of the main Ukrainian Nazis, Vasily Kuk, about 20 years ago told a Voice of America correspondent that when the so-called "Western Ukraine" was part of Austria-Hungary, they were all Rusyns and only in 1918 did he first hear the word "Ukrainian".
And mind you, this was supposed to be all-volunteer force from the Ukrainians in Poland. And they couldn't get enough men out of millions to fill a brigade. It should tell you of the morale of the Ukrainian diaspora.
you can say many things as you want but the world knows that the z army is nothing but a laughingstock when they still couldn't defeat ukrain for 2 years in their failing 3 day special military blunder 🤣
What does it mean to be Ukrainian, Osip Andreevich Monchalovsky wrote back in 1904. A man said this back in 1904, he saw it all from the inside. He knew what he was writing about. The author directly tells us that there is no such nation in principle. peculiar features and try to imitate the regional “Ukrainian” identity. Ukrainianism is a retreat from the centuries-old language and culture developed by all branches of the Russian people and the genius of the people, self-transformation into an inter-tribal cast-off, into the wiping of either Polish or German boots, a renunciation of the primordial principles of one’s people, from historical self-awareness, a retreat from church and social traditions . Ukrainianness is a disease that can undermine even the strongest national organism, and there is no condemnation that would be enough for this voluntary self-destruction! “There is no people with such a name yet. In Galicia there is only a “Ukrainian” variety of the Russian people.”
When Zhukov accepted the surrender of Nazi Germany...And when the documents were completed, Keitel turned to Zhukov: "Did these beat us too?" and pointed to the French
Admittedly, it was purely a stunt by Churchill to balance the power of the Americans in the West, as the French also has a third world empire to defend. Effectively a stunt by London, to sustain their empire. Clever. But an insult to the Russians, and a pain to the Americans.
I'm interested in something else. When did the French become great warriors? They brought 600,000 soldiers to Russia and lost against 180,000 soldiers.
The French officers admit that they have zero experience in fighting peer or superior enemy and yet they are training the Ukrainians how to fight with inferior and inadequate equipment against the currently most experienced army in the world ... This is not going to end well for this brigade...
У меня есть идея, почему бы обычным гражданам наших стран просто не поговорить, и мы могли бы наводить мосты, а не сжигать их постоянно.

Here some facts : Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity. In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas. If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy. Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time Russia's national security was compromised once NATO began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining NATO was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns. 20th September, 2021. Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter). We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster? Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest. Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland. Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”. Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it. Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country. Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list. Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list. There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence). The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present. Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave. Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) R.I.P. The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims). The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter. I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment. I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion. I have provided a brief summary of events that took place. In order to explain this whole situation in great detail, a book would need to be written. Hopefully someone will write an UNBIASED book, stating facts and allowing the readers to form their own judgments. Everything I said can be fact checked and verified.

The name Kyiv is a strictly Anglo-American revisionist way of saying the name and in terms of Ukrainian no one is expected to actually say it that way in their own language. If you still say Turkey instead of whatever Türkiye is pronounced as then it's not like you're saying it wrong, you don't call the Czech Republic as Česká republika in English because of course you don't unless you know how to pronounce it. The whole recent revisionism with anti-Russian propaganda has completely fried people's brains into trying to rewrite names even though it's not natural. Whenever I see mentions of Kharkov I still pronounce it that way, I still pronounce it Lvov, etc. Why? Because I'm speaking in English.
I had this same argument with people before, and you wont be able to convince them. The peopel that have that opinion are Americans and they have 0 life experience or knowledge.
Quite right. In the same way I don't call Paris Paree, Munich Munchen or Seville Sevilla. Because I'm speaking English and in English we say it differently to the native speakers.
This really started with calling Peking Beijing. The most funny aspect of the Ukrainian names revisionism is the multiple spelling conventions. Is it Zelensky or Zelenskyy? I favor Zelenskyyy.
Могу только на русском. :) В России и в Беларуси остались советские стандарты обучения. В учебных подразделениях курсы обучения механика водителя пол года ( 6 месяцев), точно так же наводчик оператор на БМП-1 (орудие 73-мм 2А28 "Гром")+ ПКТ. На БМП-2 (пушка 30-мм 2А42) +ПКТ уже 6 месяцев мало, чтобы обучить солдата на оценку "отлично". Поэтому уже в войсках еще 2-3 месяца доучивали. На БМП -3 стоит вообще 100-мм 2А70 + 30-мм 2А72 + ПКТ в этом варианте это один год обучения минимум. Но перед учебным подразделением проходят так называемый КМБ (курсы молодого бойца) 3 месяца. В России и Беларуси действует Закон об обязательной военной службе. Все граждане страны мужского пола обязаны пройти службу в армии 1,5 года и получить военную специальность. Поэтому иностранные "эксперты" сильно ошибаются. Так к примеру Беларусь в составе вооруженных сил есть Силы специальных операций (ССО) в них входит 1.) 103-й гвардейской воздушно-десантной дивизии (бригады) (Витебск) - она штурмовала дворец Амина в Кабуле в 1979 году 2.) 38-я отдельная гвардейская десантно-штурмовая бригада. 3.) 5-я отдельная бригада специального назначения. Т.е. в случае войны, если Беларусь проведет мобилизацию соберет всех десантников в возрасте от 25 -40 лет. 15 лет - это 10 призывов по 1,5 года службы, которые прошли службу в трех бригадах ВДВ это в сумме 30 бригад подготовленных десантников имеющих военную специальность. Ваше видео о так называемой французской подготовки солдат - разрушили миф о Франции как о военной угрозе. :) Если они так готовят солдат, то как они собираются воевать?
В России сейчас призывники служат 1 год но можно подписать контракт на 2-3-5 и тд лет! А что сказать про страны НАТО и их армии то там больше PR чем реального опыта! Наши ребята которые уехали в 90 года во францию и вступили в иностранный легион прослужив в нем а потом перешли обратно говорят что там больше болтавни бюрократии чем самой армии больше времени протираешь штаны чем чему то учишся
@@iluxazapolsky5877 а какой у Франции боевой опыт? Вообще боевой опыт - это попса для идиотов. У нас вообще подходы разные. У нас еще с советских времен командир - обязан, обучение и воспитание личного состава. У них это отсутствует напрочь. Молодого офицера готовят 4 года ... и то ... потом еще 2 года до ст. лейтенанта. Для чего? Потому что невозможно обучить бойца, всему и везде. Физически. Вот сейчас идет рубилово на Донбассе - там сплошная городская застройка и пром зоны, там особенности ведения боя в городских условиях. Этому учить надо. А такие "спецы" зашли в Курскую область на картофельные поля и все "приехали", вот в Суджи сидят там город, а в полях воевать не обученные. Тоже самое и в Беларуси где 50% леса ... и болота. Зашли бы они в Беларусь 6-тью бригадами, через месяц уже живых не было. Потому что это другие условия боя. Точно также как и талибы в сандалях в горах раздают по щам. Потому что обучены для общевойскового боя в горно пустынной местности. Этому отдельно учатся и офицер младший, сержантский состав тут основа. От теории к практики, передача боевого опыта. Дроны дроны ... ну как ПТУР управляемый типо того класс, а в остальном. Вы думаете что в Беларуси где 50% леса это будет работать? Нет не будет :) Более того с пеленгом это как себе на лоб ночью фонарик еще кричать я тут спрятался и руками махать, сразу "прилет" будет и ДРГ придет и всех поднож. Может это весело для города, для степей, но это частный случай. Поэтому основа - это дать бойцу основу и для этого года 1,5 достаточно. А потом слушать сержантов офицеров, на занятиях не косить и будут живы.
I checked the revision logs on Wikipedia, they want to change Yaroslav the wise to be Yaroslav of Kyiv and call him Ukrainian even though he was Russian

12:14 the design of the trenches look good but one thing that I immediately noticed is the LACK of realistic war debris / trash etc. Moving through a trench or a building is already difficult but then when you get to war the trenches will have tons of debris/ bodies that will make moving through them more challenging, all of the structures in Ukraine have been heavily damaged by artillery/ mortars/ frags etc it’s not like clearing a pristine trench or structure. As someone who watches a lot of combat footage from the war in ukraine the lack of destruction in their training facilities was pretty much the 1st thing I noticed.
I remember watching a RUclips channel and it described a young conscripted Ukrainian guy named Eddie who was a graphic artist. He was a happy go lucky friendly guy and he trained really really hard with NATO trainers. But, he was killed on his first day of fighting with the Russians.
@@el_gabron I didn't pay attention to the channel names. I was flicking through all the RUclips channels and watching anything on the Ukraine war at the time. Someone else reading the comments might remember and post it up.
If I were one of that Ukrainian brigade I would run away to the French countryside, Learn their language, start a new life and marry a French country girl......
When I was in Keiv in '09, the "azov" were a thug nazi gang. They always hated the ethnic Russians. We went to a Ukrainian owned coffee shop as part of a USO group and the owner asked the black navy couple to please go to the Russian coffee shop 2blocks over because there was a nazi supporting gang that'll beat him and his business up 8f he was caught serving them. The couple left and went to the other shop and the Russian owner was telling them about that gang and how they assault, extort, steal, and enforce violence on the citizens. Even back then that group was a known nazi POS gang
It would be the smart thing to do, France needs to learn modern warfare asap, Macron is stupid in many ways but concerning defence he is really not the worse we had...
Ironically the Verdun slogan is almost definitely the inspiration for Gandalf’s famous quote and that movie scene, Tolkien based his books off of his experience in WW1 and certainly would have known it.
Qu'est ce que les soldats francais vont apprendre aux soldats ukrainien ? j'aimerais bien savoir... ils vont leur apprendre a chasser des djihadistes en afrique ? a sécuriser un convoie de ravitaillement dans une vallée afghane ? encore si c'etait des unité d'artillerie, pour les entrainer sur des materiels bien particulier pourquoi pas.. je ne dénigre pas nos soldats, mais ils n'ont aucune expérience de la guerre moderne.
Очевидно, что в армии очень важна стандартизация и ЕДИНСТВО тактического звена. У Украины (если верить автору канала) сейчас армия работает по принципу салата Цезарь - всего по-немногу. Франция - страна НАТО, а значит может ввести ту самую стандартизацию по обучению и боевой тактике. Надеюсь, ответил на вопрос.
Vous prenez le problème à l'envers, ils étudieront les retours d'expérience pour pouvoir adapter l'armée à la guerre moderne s'ils voulaient sauver des vies ukrainiennes, ils auraient arrêté depuis longtemps de financer ce pays dévasté.
It all started with the fall of the Berlin Wall, and NATO decided that it was a good idea to surround Russia with military bases. Then we thought it would be in our best interest to support Ukraine, their NAZIS, Bio-weapons labs, and one of the most corrupt countries on planet Earth. Russia entered Ukraine for multiple reasons, and the primary one was because Ukraine was genociding its own people, indiscriminate bombings, mass graves, and the deletion of Christians. Yes, if you support Ukraine, this is what you're supporting. I still believe that most Ukrainians haven't a clue what lies beneath this horrendous war, all they'd need to do is ask Victoria Nuland!!!
Pff a great story for an orc pub. There are also nazi fighting in the orc army. Were are the bio labs? The orc land is the most corrupt country on earth. The orcs shelled there own schools in the donbas and blame Ukraine. If you support the orclands your turn instantly in am orc. Very bad people.
Yaraslav the wise was not Ukrainian, there was no such thing as Ukraine back then. There is a direct lineage from Yaroslav to Russian monarchy, there is no continuity to Ukraine however because they never had a monarchy or a kingdom or a country until 1991, they were just part of the Russian empire that got fked by invaders so much that they developed a slightly different culture/language than the rest of Russia.
Ukrainian state mythology is built on the rather shaky foundation of the Zaporozhye Sich and the "free Cossacks". Although in the age of hyperinformation any sensible person with a decent education after a few minutes of searching will understand that this is a frontier, land pirates at the junction of the not yet formed borders of future centralized states.
@ do you have issues with reading comprehension? I said if you follow the lineage of power from Yaroslav it leads directly to the Russian empire. The Slavs from Kieven Rus went up north to escape the mongol horde. This is basic history. You can go to barns and noble, buy a history book and it will back up what I’m saying. Ukraine never had a government or a leader. Not one until 1991. It’s a made up country.
@ in fact the name “Ukraine doesn’t appear until 1649 and was used by the Cossacks to describe the “crie” or edge of the Russian empire. There was no such thing as a Ukrainian but there were poles, Lithuanians, Russians etc…
Technicians helping with the NK equipment, most definitely. But NK soldiers to fight on the front line is absolutely bullshit, why? Because by ukr own sources many have surrendered to the ukr and yet are incapable of showing evidence of NK presence.
So I am a 13 Fox in US Army which is a Fire Support Specialist ( we call the artillery to blow bad guys up) and I just wanted to share a story my Drill Sergeant told me. In 2023 he trained a group of about 50 Ukrainians on how to call for fire and teach them how to conduct missions based on how US does it and he said that the Ukrainians barely paid attention. They were on their phones and just sleeping. One day he yelled at them telling them that they were gonna die if they don’t pay attention and he got in trouble and was pulled off the training. Long story short many of those Ukrainian men are dead now :( The training was not intense in any way shape or form. This war is brutal and some people just don’t take it seriously
France only brought back trench assault training in their training program in 2022. Needless to say, they have no experience in trench fighting at all. And it's the same for the rest of NATO, it's Ukraine who should train them, not the other way around. NATO has no idea how to fight a near-peer war, they've spent decades fighting headless chickens in one desert or the other with complete aerial supremacy. Not to mention the drone aspect of this conflict, which is completely alien to NATO.
That's why 300 Ukrainian veterans and 1500 French soldiers participated in the trench simulation. And only the mechanized part of 155 came to France, for weapons training. The goal was to trade weapons training for trench training. It was never combined arms training
What you say make no sense, even Russia did not have any traying for this prior to this war. If other country dont start training today when will they start? When they get part of their country taken by a bunch of conscript? No country has any skill for this, but France has everythings they got from the 1st world war to train about trench warfare. All they need is to adapt to modern standard. That's how it has always been for all army. You dont wait for your enemy to attack before you modernize the training of your troop.
Training soldiers in a country that has ZERO real war experience is laughable and pathetic. At this point Ukraine actually has the more real war experience and should've been the one to train French soldiers.

Anne of Kiev was a princess of the Kievan Rus i.e. she was Russian. But, then, Ukraine has never been much more than a geographical area until relatively recently.

They never did. In the chocolate church fabricated by the Jewish Poroshenko in Kiev, the walls are frescoed with Nazi insignia such as the wolf's angle. In a purportedly Christian Church. While the Orthodox Church is persecuted and its priests and monastics are slain on the streets.

As a Swiss, I do not understand how the badge of this brigade has the Swiss flag on it. Switzerland will not supply weapons to Ukraine and will not sell to a country that wants to or is thinking of re-selling Swiss arms or artillery to any conflict area. It also does not make sense that Switzerland would take part in the training of such a brigade. Switzerland has even denied medical aid to soldiers wounded in battle stating that they would just be helping them to return to the front.

Anne of Kiev or Anna Yaroslavna (c. 1030 - 1075) was a princess of Kievan Rus who became Queen of France in 1051 upon marrying King Henry I. She ruled the kingdom as regent during the minority of their son Philip I from Henry's death in 1060. I read about her and not found Ukraine word in it.

20:48 the AMX 10RC is unstabilised (meaning the gun will wobble while the tank is moving) which makes it slow to react. If the tank is moving and it gets ambushed by a BMP-2 it would need to stop and wait for the gun to stop wobbling before engaging. It's the same if it tries to hit something that is behind a corner. This tank is great at lying ambushes in kind of open terrain and then scurry away before the enemy has a chance to fight back, but that's it. It has to sit still for engaging anything and still tank is a dead tank. P.S.: the gun doesn't even fire standard NATO 105 rounds so it's also a logistical nightmare
@psier11 no it's not. It's an outdated design that has proven useful in France colonial wars, but it has always been useless against serious armies. If they wanted a true mobile sniper they'd need a Centauro 1
Add to that the fact that its armor can be penetrated by 30 mm automatic cannons, not to mention more serious calibers, ATGMs and drones. They can somehow protect it from drones by wrapping it with a net on all sides. But an ATGM with a tandem warhead will penetrate the armor even after detonating on the net. It is essentially a self-propelled artillery unit on the front lines,

A brigade, that's it? Sending in piecemeal units will not lead to any success. The easiest troops to train are the low-level riflemen. The hard part is their leadership. In most armies it takes about 1-2 years of training and experience to create a competent platoon commander. A company commander in about 10-12 years, a battalion commander in about 15-20 and a brigade commander in 20+ years.

What I think France, and by extension NATO is doing with these "foreign" brigades is that they are trying to figure out an standardized, scalable training program(and infrastructural requirements) for conscripts that would be "universally" adaptable and compatible within wider NATO army.
100%. Ukrainans would surely prefer the NATO experts to get it all figured out and perfected beforehand as every attemt is getting paid in thousands of lost ukrainian lives but beggars can't be choosers.
It looks more like France wants not to help Ukraine but to check if their (Fr) strategy and tactics will work in a real combat situation (while experiencing zero french soldiers casualties). And if not (which I'm sure) they'll just rewrite their combat teaching books.

So, instead of letting the Ukrainian vets teach the recruits, they chose to go with French speaking children that hadn't seen combat and women to translate orders. Wow.
Operation "Champagne"? Maybe they should stop planning these operations in expensive restaurants, because now we know what they were drinking at the time. I am guessing the next operation will be called "Opération Pastis" or "Operation Daube" - at least the plan would have more meat to it, and the wine (and the carrots) would be cooked - depending on the menu.
the French are teaching the Ukrainians how to use French weapons. I don't think they are teaching them how to do combat because. Combat training is specific to the environment.
When you talk about CAESAR spgs, you should mention the fact that besides being an incredibly fast and accurate spg, it has a real problem, the longevity of the barrel. It has been designed for asymmetrical warfare, where the raw firepower of the gun destroys a target and goes back to camp for refitting. The barrel has maybe 1200 shots longevity and the barrel takes something like 14 months work. In short, a great gun but not for high intensity warfare. And I heard that the very fine mechanics are somewhat fragile and demands a very intensive care. When Russian guns are more basic but can fire multiple times the number of shots. So like the VAB and the AMX10 the CAESAR is a great piece of equipment but designed for another type of war.
What I don’t think you realize is that these 20 year old men are very well trained. Just like in the US military we have 19 year olds leading and are well versed in in infantry doctrine and leadership. That’s usually the age for soldiers to be in so I don’t see a problem here

"Anne de Kyiv is Ukrainian princess" is statement making as much sense as "Anne de Kyiv is Soviet princess". Sharing the same territory not make countries the same, Byzantium and Turkey can confirm. Anne was princess of Ancient Rus, country that predates Russia, Ukraine and Belarus and was shattered by Mongolian invasion. Ukraine claim most direct descendance because it holds Kiev (but not Novgorod that is earlier capital of Rus than Kiev) and Russia claim it because Russia descends from north-eastern provinces that remained independent, on the contrary to land annexed by Poland (that land become Ukraine in the future) and Litvania (that become Belarus).
But right answer its that no country can claim legacy of Rus as its own, it belongs to all Eastern Slavs.
Its a correct logic. However the Russian hold stronger claim over ancient Rus heritage including Kiev and Rurik dynasty. Kievlan Rus is simply the name of the country, not meaning Kiev was the country. Father of Anna the Kiev was both the grand Prince of Novgorod and Kiev at the same time. Because Rurik dynastry was founded in Novgorod, that is where first Rurik was crowned Prince by Novgorod nobles. Son of Rurik - Oleg the Wise conquered Kiev and move capital to Kiev. That is when Rus began called Kievlan Rus. The Mongols invaded Kiev but Rus never perish, the Rurik dynasty live on, so it is a misconception that Kievlan Rus the state was destroyed. No it first expanded from Novgorod to Kiev and several other cities, it was a big state, Kiev was not the only Rus city, there were cities of Ryazan, Vladimir, a Rurik Prince ruled each of them, it was a big dynasty. All those titles were simply feudal titul indicating who rule the land. Like all heir of English throne hold title of Prince or Princes of Wales before crowned king. The Mongols didnt destroyed Ancient Rus state, they captured several cities including Kiev then Rurik dynasty accepted to be their vassals and keep ruling those cities. Rus paid tributes to Mongols in form of taxes and sometimes troops to serve in Khan's army. But Rurik Prince sitting in Vladimir or Novgorod still hold title of Kiev Grand Prince and still rule the city on behalf of Mongols and collect tax for them and for himself. First Moscow Prince Daniel Moscovskiy is son of Alexander Nevskiy Grand Prince of Novgorod and Kiev. Unlike late Grand Prince of Kiev, who couldnt rebuild a strong state, Moscow Prince keep building up his strength and expand its power and layed foundation for a big Empire. Kiev eventually end up in hands of Poles and later was bought back by Russian Tsar.
Rurik dynasty hold claim over Kievlan Rus heritage as well as all Rus heritage, First Russian Tsar was a Rurik, when Rurik dynasty ended, the Russian nobles elected a new Tsar Mikhail, who was related to Rurik on female line and was a legitimate heir. Russian Empire therefore is a heir of ancient Rus. Soviet Russia (RSFSR not USSR) is a legal heir of Russian Empire by treaties and legal agreement. Russia by international treaties and agreement is the legal heir of both USSR and Russian Empire, it inherits all debts, rights and duty of both states. Soviet Ukraine was created by legal agreement of Soviet Leadership under Lenin, contemprary Ukraine state with its own independent government was created by legal agreement with Russia, Russia allowed them to leave and forgave them all debts under Soviet rule, also let Ukraine hold all territories RSFSR gave it, and didnt demand them back. Legally speaking RSFSR gave Soviet Ukraine state those territories, not to new government of contemporary Ukraine, that replaced them, when new govenrment which replaced Communists party of Ukraine came in power, Russia passed the right of those territories to them. A lot of territories of today Ukraine is still legally belong to Russia if Ukraine state stop to exist. So Russia hold historical and legal claim on Entire Ukraine. After Russia there are many countries that hold claim over Western territorie of Ukraine. The reason Russian Federation had to inherit legal right and duty of both USSR and Russian Empire, after USSR dibanned, was because if nobody hold that legal status, all historical agreement made in the past will be nullified, and the border of today Ukraine, Moldova can be revised by their neighbors. There will be a lot of argument between Poland, Romania, Hungary, Autria on on side and Ukraine, Moldova on other side which cant be solved simply because the historical packs and agreement made my Russian Empire and USSR regarding border of those states stop working. Those documents were not signed by those states, because those states didnt existed as independent state.

Ukrainianism is a retreat from the centuries-old language and culture developed by all branches of the Russian people and the genius of the people, self-transformation into an inter-tribal cast-off, into the wiping of either Polish or German boots, a renunciation of the primordial principles of one’s people, from historical self-awareness, a retreat from church and social traditions . Ukrainianness is a disease that can undermine even the strongest national organism, and there is no condemnation that would be enough for this voluntary self-destruction! “There is no people with such a name yet. In Galicia there is only a “Ukrainian” variety of the Russian people.”
When Zhukov accepted the surrender of Nazi Germany...And when the documents were completed, Keitel turned to Zhukov: "Did these beat us too?" and pointed to the French
Admittedly, it was purely a stunt by Churchill to balance the power of the Americans in the West, as the French also has a third world empire to defend. Effectively a stunt by London, to sustain their empire. Clever. But an insult to the Russians, and a pain to the Americans.
>And when the documents were completed, Keitel turned to Zhukov

I'm interested in something else. When did the French become great warriors? They brought 600,000 soldiers to Russia and lost against 180,000 soldiers.
The French officers admit that they have zero experience in fighting peer or superior enemy and yet they are training the Ukrainians how to fight with inferior and inadequate equipment against the currently most experienced army in the world ... This is not going to end well for this brigade...

Here some facts :
Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity.
In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas.
If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy.
Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements.
Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time
Russia's national security was compromised once NATO began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining NATO was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns.
20th September, 2021. Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO
NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter).
We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.
Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster?
Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest.
Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland.
Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed.
Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”.
Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it.
Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country.
Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list.
Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list.
There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence).
The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present.
Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave.
Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) R.I.P.
The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims).
The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter.

Hашумевшая, в общем-то, пустая книжонка - бывшeгo членa ЦК КПУ - панa Кучмы "написанная им" в 2003 году "Украина не Россия" на наших глазах пeревоплотилась в жизнеспособную геополитическую идеологему "Украина - анти-Россия". Деруссификация заменила декоммунизацию и снежным комом посыпались кричалки: "Хто не скаче, той москаль", "Москаляку на гілляку", "Москалів на ножі" и "Десять тысяч за москаля". "Убей в себе русского" cтaло "убей русского вокруг себя".
Украинцы к определению "титульная нация" - в "лучших” традициях гитлеровских Нюрнбергских расовых законов - добавили себе новое: "первосортная".
The name Kyiv is a strictly Anglo-American revisionist way of saying the name and in terms of Ukrainian no one is expected to actually say it that way in their own language. If you still say Turkey instead of whatever Türkiye is pronounced as then it's not like you're saying it wrong, you don't call the Czech Republic as Česká republika in English because of course you don't unless you know how to pronounce it. The whole recent revisionism with anti-Russian propaganda has completely fried people's brains into trying to rewrite names even though it's not natural. Whenever I see mentions of Kharkov I still pronounce it that way, I still pronounce it Lvov, etc. Why? Because I'm speaking in English.
I had this same argument with people before, and you wont be able to convince them. The peopel that have that opinion are Americans and they have 0 life experience or knowledge.
Revisionism is bad, but not when Anglos do it

Quite right. In the same way I don't call Paris Paree, Munich Munchen or Seville Sevilla. Because I'm speaking English and in English we say it differently to the native speakers.

В России и в Беларуси остались советские стандарты обучения. В учебных подразделениях курсы обучения механика водителя пол года ( 6 месяцев), точно так же наводчик оператор на БМП-1 (орудие 73-мм 2А28 "Гром")+ ПКТ. На БМП-2 (пушка 30-мм 2А42) +ПКТ уже 6 месяцев мало, чтобы обучить солдата на оценку "отлично". Поэтому уже в войсках еще 2-3 месяца доучивали. На БМП -3 стоит вообще 100-мм 2А70 + 30-мм 2А72 + ПКТ в этом варианте это один год обучения минимум. Но перед учебным подразделением проходят так называемый КМБ (курсы молодого бойца) 3 месяца.
В России и Беларуси действует Закон об обязательной военной службе. Все граждане страны мужского пола обязаны пройти службу в армии 1,5 года и получить военную специальность. Поэтому иностранные "эксперты" сильно ошибаются. Так к примеру Беларусь в составе вооруженных сил есть Силы специальных операций (ССО) в них входит 1.) 103-й гвардейской воздушно-десантной дивизии (бригады) (Витебск) - она штурмовала дворец Амина в Кабуле в 1979 году 2.) 38-я отдельная гвардейская десантно-штурмовая бригада. 3.) 5-я отдельная бригада специального назначения.
Т.е. в случае войны, если Беларусь проведет мобилизацию соберет всех десантников в возрасте от 25 -40 лет. 15 лет - это 10 призывов по 1,5 года службы, которые прошли службу в трех бригадах ВДВ это в сумме 30 бригад подготовленных десантников имеющих военную специальность.
Ваше видео о так называемой французской подготовки солдат - разрушили миф о Франции как о военной угрозе. :) Если они так готовят солдат, то как они собираются воевать?
В России сейчас призывники служат 1 год но можно подписать контракт на 2-3-5 и тд лет! А что сказать про страны НАТО и их армии то там больше PR чем реального опыта! Наши ребята которые уехали в 90 года во францию и вступили в иностранный легион прослужив в нем а потом перешли обратно говорят что там больше болтавни бюрократии чем самой армии больше времени протираешь штаны чем чему то учишся
@@iluxazapolsky5877 а какой у Франции боевой опыт? Вообще боевой опыт - это попса для идиотов. У нас вообще подходы разные. У нас еще с советских времен командир - обязан, обучение и воспитание личного состава. У них это отсутствует напрочь. Молодого офицера готовят 4 года ... и то ... потом еще 2 года до ст. лейтенанта. Для чего? Потому что невозможно обучить бойца, всему и везде. Физически. Вот сейчас идет рубилово на Донбассе - там сплошная городская застройка и пром зоны, там особенности ведения боя в городских условиях. Этому учить надо. А такие "спецы" зашли в Курскую область на картофельные поля и все "приехали", вот в Суджи сидят там город, а в полях воевать не обученные. Тоже самое и в Беларуси где 50% леса ... и болота. Зашли бы они в Беларусь 6-тью бригадами, через месяц уже живых не было. Потому что это другие условия боя. Точно также как и талибы в сандалях в горах раздают по щам. Потому что обучены для общевойскового боя в горно пустынной местности. Этому отдельно учатся и офицер младший, сержантский состав тут основа. От теории к практики, передача боевого опыта.
Дроны дроны ... ну как ПТУР управляемый типо того класс, а в остальном. Вы думаете что в Беларуси где 50% леса это будет работать? Нет не будет :) Более того с пеленгом это как себе на лоб ночью фонарик еще кричать я тут спрятался и руками махать, сразу "прилет" будет и ДРГ придет и всех поднож. Может это весело для города, для степей, но это частный случай.
Поэтому основа - это дать бойцу основу и для этого года 1,5 достаточно. А потом слушать сержантов офицеров, на занятиях не косить и будут живы.

12:14 the design of the trenches look good but one thing that I immediately noticed is the LACK of realistic war debris / trash etc. Moving through a trench or a building is already difficult but then when you get to war the trenches will have tons of debris/ bodies that will make moving through them more challenging, all of the structures in Ukraine have been heavily damaged by artillery/ mortars/ frags etc it’s not like clearing a pristine trench or structure.
As someone who watches a lot of combat footage from the war in ukraine the lack of destruction in their training facilities was pretty much the 1st thing I noticed.
I remember watching a RUclips channel and it described a young conscripted Ukrainian guy named Eddie who was a graphic artist. He was a happy go lucky friendly guy and he trained really really hard with NATO trainers. But, he was killed on his first day of fighting with the Russians.

Франция - страна НАТО, а значит может ввести ту самую стандартизацию по обучению и боевой тактике. Надеюсь, ответил на вопрос.

It all started with the fall of the Berlin Wall, and NATO decided that it was a good idea to surround Russia with military bases. Then we thought it would be in our best interest to support Ukraine, their NAZIS, Bio-weapons labs, and one of the most corrupt countries on planet Earth. Russia entered Ukraine for multiple reasons, and the primary one was because Ukraine was genociding its own people, indiscriminate bombings, mass graves, and the deletion of Christians. Yes, if you support Ukraine, this is what you're supporting. I still believe that most Ukrainians haven't a clue what lies beneath this horrendous war, all they'd need to do is ask Victoria Nuland!!!

Yaraslav the wise was not Ukrainian, there was no such thing as Ukraine back then. There is a direct lineage from Yaroslav to Russian monarchy, there is no continuity to Ukraine however because they never had a monarchy or a kingdom or a country until 1991, they were just part of the Russian empire that got fked by invaders so much that they developed a slightly different culture/language than the rest of Russia.
Ukrainian state mythology is built on the rather shaky foundation of the Zaporozhye Sich and the "free Cossacks". Although in the age of hyperinformation any sensible person with a decent education after a few minutes of searching will understand that this is a frontier, land pirates at the junction of the not yet formed borders of future centralized states.
There was no Russia back then either
@ do you have issues with reading comprehension? I said if you follow the lineage of power from Yaroslav it leads directly to the Russian empire. The Slavs from Kieven Rus went up north to escape the mongol horde. This is basic history. You can go to barns and noble, buy a history book and it will back up what I’m saying. Ukraine never had a government or a leader. Not one until 1991. It’s a made up country.
@ in fact the name “Ukraine doesn’t appear until 1649 and was used by the Cossacks to describe the “crie” or edge of the Russian empire. There was no such thing as a Ukrainian but there were poles, Lithuanians, Russians etc…

So I am a 13 Fox in US Army which is a Fire Support Specialist ( we call the artillery to blow bad guys up) and I just wanted to share a story my Drill Sergeant told me.
In 2023 he trained a group of about 50 Ukrainians on how to call for fire and teach them how to conduct missions based on how US does it and he said that the Ukrainians barely paid attention. They were on their phones and just sleeping. One day he yelled at them telling them that they were gonna die if they don’t pay attention and he got in trouble and was pulled off the training.
Long story short many of those Ukrainian men are dead now :(
The training was not intense in any way shape or form. This war is brutal and some people just don’t take it seriously
Were those 50 Ukrainians, "willing volunteers" or "unwilling conscripts" ? Their attitudes would vary greatly between these 2 category.
France only brought back trench assault training in their training program in 2022. Needless to say, they have no experience in trench fighting at all. And it's the same for the rest of NATO, it's Ukraine who should train them, not the other way around. NATO has no idea how to fight a near-peer war, they've spent decades fighting headless chickens in one desert or the other with complete aerial supremacy.
Not to mention the drone aspect of this conflict, which is completely alien to NATO.
That's why 300 Ukrainian veterans and 1500 French soldiers participated in the trench simulation. And only the mechanized part of 155 came to France, for weapons training.
The goal was to trade weapons training for trench training. It was never combined arms training
@@eatonkuntz Would love to hear what those 1500 French soldiers have to say about trench simulations.

So basically, France is trying to test its own division and to see how it will work in reality, but instead of Frenchmen there are Ukrainians.
Empires have done this for thousands of years. The oldest examples I can think of are the Persians and perhaps the Neo-Assyrians. Just as king Solomon said, "There's nothing new under the sun".

Switzerland will not supply weapons to Ukraine and will not sell to a country that wants to or is thinking of re-selling Swiss arms or artillery to any conflict area.

20:48 the AMX 10RC is unstabilised (meaning the gun will wobble while the tank is moving) which makes it slow to react. If the tank is moving and it gets ambushed by a BMP-2 it would need to stop and wait for the gun to stop wobbling before engaging. It's the same if it tries to hit something that is behind a corner.
This tank is great at lying ambushes in kind of open terrain and then scurry away before the enemy has a chance to fight back, but that's it. It has to sit still for engaging anything and still tank is a dead tank.
P.S.: the gun doesn't even fire standard NATO 105 rounds so it's also a logistical nightmare
So is it even a modern era tank?
@psier11 no it's not. It's an outdated design that has proven useful in France colonial wars, but it has always been useless against serious armies. If they wanted a true mobile sniper they'd need a Centauro 1
Add to that the fact that its armor can be penetrated by 30 mm automatic cannons, not to mention more serious calibers, ATGMs and drones. They can somehow protect it from drones by wrapping it with a net on all sides. But an ATGM with a tandem warhead will penetrate the armor even after detonating on the net. It is essentially a self-propelled artillery unit on the front lines,
Lol, I can't believe you actually used that AoE dying peasant sound...

Greetings from Yaroslavl, an ancient city on the Volga. The city was founded in 1010 by the Russian prince Yaroslav the Wise. There never was a Princess Anna of Kyiv!!
Anna Yaroslavna is the youngest of the three daughters of the Grand Duke Yaroslav the Wise.
A brigade, that's it? Sending in piecemeal units will not lead to any success.
The easiest troops to train are the low-level riflemen. The hard part is their leadership. In most armies it takes about 1-2 years of training and experience to create a competent platoon commander. A company commander in about 10-12 years, a battalion commander in about 15-20 and a brigade commander in 20+ years.

Окно Овертона на территории постсоветской Украине открывалось медленно.
Hашумевшая, в общем-то, пустая книжонка - бывшeгo членa ЦК КПУ - панa Кучмы "написанная им" в 2003 году "Украина не Россия" на наших глазах пeревоплотилась в жизнеспособную геополитическую идеологему "Украина - анти-Россия". Деруссификация заменила декоммунизацию и снежным комом посыпались кричалки: "Хто не скаче, той москаль", "Москаляку на гілляку", "Москалів на ножі" и "Десять тысяч за москаля". "Убей в себе русского" cтaло "убей русского вокруг себя".
Украинцы к определению "титульная нация" - в "лучших” традициях гитлеровских Нюрнбергских расовых законов - добавили себе новое: "первосортная".

My brother served in Afghanistan. He said the French equipment was a joke and would break down every time they tried to go out on a patrol.
Why does not he come and comment this himself? I am asking because all the UK and US military who actually served along the French military that I know of hold the French army in high regard.
Can you please be more specific? Which type of equipment precisely was a joke?

@6:30 When someone uses the 'Keeve' pronounciation I let it slide, until they then say Ukraine, when I respond "Surely you mean Oo-kray-en-ska!" I don't mind people changing the way they pronounce place names, but unless they are going to be consistent, I'm going to be awkward. They don't say Par-ie or Mock-ba or Mun-chen, because they don't CARE about pronouncing place names the way the residents pronounce it. They were just following the latest thing their MSM programmers gave them to signal their virtue. I try to show them how ridiculous and inconsistent they are being. It is my gift to them.
It's pronounced Moskva. The B in Cyrillic is a V in Latin.
Don’t these knuckleheads know they are fighting for Backrock and the central bank?
What I think France, and by extension NATO is doing with these "foreign" brigades is that they are trying to figure out an standardized, scalable training program(and infrastructural requirements) for conscripts that would be "universally" adaptable and compatible within wider NATO army.
100%. Ukrainans would surely prefer the NATO experts to get it all figured out and perfected beforehand as every attemt is getting paid in thousands of lost ukrainian lives but beggars can't be choosers.
Ah, but the Ukrainian colonel didn't say they were highly trained, but rather "enough to go into combat".
10:33 , “Sausages, Cabbage and a little bit of corruption” 😂
What makes France an expert in military training. At this point it’s Ukraine who can send men to France to teach them how to fight
It looks more like France wants not to help Ukraine but to check if their (Fr) strategy and tactics will work in a real combat situation (while experiencing zero french soldiers casualties). And if not (which I'm sure) they'll just rewrite their combat teaching books.
For fun, you can visit medieval festivals where people go at each other in armor with weapons...
You could try exercises and report about history too someday
I think the 18 CAESAr was ordered for Denmark but suddently our governement said they did not want them but ordered Israeli which now has caused a big case here in DK for inkompentcy of our ex defence minister etc...
From first century BC they hate Caesar, rolling now in his grave. Only them could name so such an ab*rti*n of a gun
По крайней мере он уже бывший) А не как в Рф только после "выборов" начались чистки в министерстве обороны и перестановки кадров, но как же Шойгу было тяжело "не воровать" среди всего своего окружения которое посадили как раз за коррупцию
So, instead of letting the Ukrainian vets teach the recruits, they chose to go with French speaking children that hadn't seen combat and women to translate orders. Wow.
Operation "Champagne"? Maybe they should stop planning these operations in expensive restaurants, because now we know what they were drinking at the time. I am guessing the next operation will be called "Opération Pastis" or "Operation Daube" - at least the plan would have more meat to it, and the wine (and the carrots) would be cooked - depending on the menu.
the French are teaching the Ukrainians how to use French weapons. I don't think they are teaching them how to do combat because. Combat training is specific to the environment.
When you talk about CAESAR spgs, you should mention the fact that besides being an incredibly fast and accurate spg, it has a real problem, the longevity of the barrel. It has been designed for asymmetrical warfare, where the raw firepower of the gun destroys a target and goes back to camp for refitting. The barrel has maybe 1200 shots longevity and the barrel takes something like 14 months work. In short, a great gun but not for high intensity warfare. And I heard that the very fine mechanics are somewhat fragile and demands a very intensive care. When Russian guns are more basic but can fire multiple times the number of shots.
So like the VAB and the AMX10 the CAESAR is a great piece of equipment but designed for another type of war.
Reminds me of Civilisation 6
When your barracks are destroyed and you build a level 1 barrack some place else, training level 1 soliders ☠️
Haven't played any Civ for ages, but that's a great analogy. 👍
So the French finally got done teaching one of their foreign legion brigades Ukrainian. Bon chance, mes amis!
What I don’t think you realize is that these 20 year old men are very well trained. Just like in the US military we have 19 year olds leading and are well versed in in infantry doctrine and leadership. That’s usually the age for soldiers to be in so I don’t see a problem here
