Now is the time to support the Belarusian resistance. Imagine if the Lukashenko regime was challenged, Russia would be forced to send forces there, forces it can't really spare. Then Georgia suddenly thinks that they want Ossetia back. At about the same time people in Chechnya rebels against the Kadyrov regime. Then various republics starts thinking "what has the Russians ever done for us? Let's break free!"
Thank you internet battle expert 🎉
That's basically a World War 3 scenario.
@@my_other_side473 Putin is actively trying to start WW3. These bombings of Ukrainian civilians has only one purpose and that is to force the rest of the world to act. It must be stopped
I've also wondered why the various groups in these satellite countries are not seeing this as a golden opportunity to make their move. You don't have to be a battlefield expert to know that Russia is much, much, much weaker today then they were a year ago and far less able to help put down a rebellion anywhere else. I cannot tell you if it would work long term, but your chances have to be much better now then they will be two years from now after Russia has been defeated in Ukraine, but has had some time to rebuild.
US and Nato eastward expansion is the cause of this war

As a former infantryman he is absolutely correct about winter destroying your desire to fight or move or do anything other than trying to survive and stay warm.
Slava Ukraine.
Thank you all those in UK who trained the forces of Ukraine.
UA was trained by a large group of western countries, who banded together to bring western military doctrine to the UA in 2014.
The army you see today is a reflection of that commttment by Ukrainians to become a modern fighting force, with the focus, discipline and respect required to adopt NATO standards.
UA tropps have been trained out of country by a large number of militaries.
The UK is hosting what we call ' basic training ' for new recuits, to get a large number up to speed fast. They also have high level training for other specialties.
@@als4817 thanks for clarifying. What other countries besides UK and US were involved in training.?
Canada has been also very instrumental in training Ukraine since 2014
@@anselmdanker9519 Denmark, Netherlands, Poland. Australia sent trainers to the UK to help with training. Those are just other nations I can remember off the top of my head who are assisting with training.

I believe right now the Ukrainian Army is one of the most adaptable, modern, experienced and battle-hardened fighting force on earth right now. They are the only force that has battle-tested NATO weapons and tactics successfully. NATO countries like the US, UK and other countries must have realized that this is one of those rare chances that they can get to put their weapons, military tactics, intel gathering, logistical planning and fighting doctrine capabilities to the test against one of the "top" conventional armed forces in the world. Slava Ukraine!
And you already tell that its really effective, Russia still uses old soviet tactics
Such a shame those "top" conventional armed forces have shown themselves to be a bit less in quality than previously assumed.
@@Silvergalaxy7383 Russia failed to use old soviet tactics that worked way way better with US troops using them as opposing force at National Training center. I would still not recommend old soviet tactics even when done correctly they take huge casualties in exchange for overrunning the enemy. The fact US knew how the Russians were able to fight using their doctrine and equipment expected them to do way better. Turns out should have taken corruption reports more seriously.
As former US Infantry Officer my first clue to how bad the Russians were was Ukraine drone use over their forces.
All Russian movements should have been under cover of electronic counter measure units to jam all communications. I did see one video on Ukrainian forces having to wait till Russian Jamming ending to launch their drones so the Russians were partially trying to do it.
@@RedRocket4000 “All Russian movements should have been under cover of electronic counter measure units to jam all communications.” Interesting comment. In the first few days when the big convoy heading to Kyiv hit the buffers, the Ukrainians found a completely unused, pristine mobile communications unit. It was fitted into one or two standard articulated-truck containers, of I remember right, and would have been lifted off to sit on the ground. But the vehicles had got stuck in mud off a narrow road. The report called it “state of the art”, and more or less a priceless gift because it meant the Russians completely lost their secure communications capability in that region. Would this also have had jamming capability, or is that a simpler thing where drones are concerned?
Trained in my native country 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇦💪
The uniqueness of the Ukrainian army is...most of them have balls of steel!
As opposed to the Russian army, none of them have balls at all.
That's why they can't sneak up on you. The noise of their massive balls banging together gives them away.
Love seeing the British APCs on the battlefield they were built for. Fingers crossed they get better main battle tanks
You should not be deriving so much joy from the horrors of war.
It's lovely to see people coming out and seeing the Ukraine troops... must be hell of a feeling!

@@markscouler2534 Mark it would be 'good' to see you engaging your brain please? Zelensky is a Jew, his family are "Jewish" his grandfather's brothers died fighting the Nazis in WWII. Ukraine lost more people to the Nazis in WWII than even Russia!
I've just been reading how Ukraine troops have exhumed 1 year old child from a mass grave, and they have also found Russia torture chambers, where people have had their gold fillings pulled out, as the Nazis did.
The Nazis and Hitler succeeded for too long, because people like yourself believed what they 'wanted' to believe, to selfishly absolve themselves of responsibility.
Check your news sources, you've clearly been taken in by Putin's fake news:
What part of Russia is a "dictatorship" do you not understand? Dictatorships, don't even allow their own people to speak out or know the truth... so why on 'earth' would think for a moment they would tell "you" the truth?
Many have been taken in by Russian disinformation, and by the way it was Russia under Stalin and the KGB in 1923 which arrived at the concept and coined the word disinformation! They even gave it a Western sounding name, so we would more easily adopt it... so that worked?
Putin has murdered "100 000s" of people in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, Ukraine and elsewhere. Syria, was a people's uprising as a result of the Arab Spring, which began in Tunisia in 2010, as a result Assad slaughtered peaceful protesters with gunships. The people fought bravely for years, but when Damascus was about to fall, Assad called in Putin. Assad and Putin then murdered "100 000s" of people, dropping bombs on children in their schools, burning them alive!
Thank you for the great evaluation of the Brave Ukrainian Warriors
GLORY to Ukraine 🌻🙏💪
Ukraine must stack factories and oil facilities inside Russia
Lol
Ukraine and USA go to hell
Motivation, morale ,logistics all play a major role, the Ukrainians have that and more. Seeing the men of Russia getting out of the country to avoid conscription and the protesters in Moscow does give me a warm feeling of satisfaction. Slava Ukrania.
Me too!! Glory to Ukraine!
I feel for those poor Russians.
The same way people are protesting the Ukrainian goverment lol, one sided vision you have
Hypocrites all of you. Beginning of the year you all didnt even know what Ukraine is. Mix some propaganda in it and now you all root for a country you 99,9% dont even associate with. Hypocrites

I’m really proud, to see them use their training to great affect!
They really are wonderful people!

Correction: …”fought” with them…
A friend of mine stayed in Odessa last summer after I left. He went to Nickoliev to fight as a mercanary. American. 27. Good looking young man. He is now dead. There is no glory here for anyone.
@@jeanpaulfelix4095 It’s really not about “Glory”!
I also have to live with myself, on my instructing these courageous souls how to fight/go forward, in order to better survive. That’s why I also felt the need to be on the front lines with them.
War is full of emotions, it’s feels like Madness at best, and He’ll at worst.
But these souls know exactly, why they’re fighting! They are filled with passion, they are driven by their convictions to rid their homeland of the enemy. Ukraine is steeped in history, it’s been fighting for its independence from neighbouring forces for over 300yrs. This, without doubt, will be its final battle!
Trust me, The Ukrainian Army will become one of the best in Europe; Russia will never put a single boot on Ukrainian soil, ever again!
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇬🇧
🤣🤣🤣Wait and watch results🤣🤣
Reasons why I don't believe you
number one
you are on RUclips...
It astonishes me how different Ukrainian forces seem, compared to Russian forces. Even when using the same Soviet equipment, Ukrainian forces look more professional, smarter, better maintained and even cleaner. A Russian T72 looks like it's falling apart, like a refuse truck on tracks. Whereas, Ukrainian tanks are camouflaged properly maintained, professional and just seem ready for combat. Russian troops, supposedly the second best military on Earth, look like scavengers in an apocalypse movie.
the same can be said about Ukrainian cities, everything is clean and well-groomed, while Russian cities in Siberia do not even have sewage systems, and the streets look like garbage dumps with drunken staggering inhabitants
Those Russian troops are by now the second best military in Ukraine.
@@rubig1975 I was in Saint Petersburg, even there you find wrecked streets not far from the so called luxurious Nevsky prospekt avenue
@@Feyser1970 I was also in St. Petersburg, and I can say that the sleeping areas of St. Petersburg are a ghetto with alcoholics and drug addicts, but to get to know the real Russia you need to visit the cities in the outback Omsk, Saratov, Bryansk Chelyabinsk , where most people do not know what a toilet or a washing machine is
Yeah and they looked scruffy in 1945 in Berlin too.
Dont forget that after 2014 the Ukrainian military abandoned the old soviet mode of fighting, they brought in a much younger Chief of staff to re-make their army into one patterned after NATO forces. It shows on the battle field today.
Western Militayr Doctrine
President Obama sent in US forces to train Ukrainian troops after Russia invaded Crimea
This is basically a war NATO vs Russian Federation.
Yep and seen several examples of Western tank doctrine with Ukrainian Tanks using a dueling and surprise when possible approach. Russian Tanks are more limited used Western style as their low target design prevents main gun depression that tall Western tanks can do. So going Haul down harder. Haul down is tank only exposing the turret by being on back side of slope firing over and down from it.
This in many ways the Arab vs Israeli wars again. Greatly outnumbered but Western Doctrine force trashing a SOVIET (russian) force.
@@stevensteven3417 Not at all, this is NATO doctrine and hardware, against ruzzia.
If NATO was in Ukraine, the war would have lasted 3 days.
Probably the most experienced army in the world at the moment. Notice how their counter offensive has been non stop, no pause for replen. Must have loads of equipment and be very well planned.
The Ukranian generalship has been very impressive
More experienced in urban warfare than the U.S. and Israel militaries
That's textbook Blitzkrieg maneuver warfare. You rotate troops while advancing. The key is to constantly maintain contact with the retreating enemy, don't let them dig in and rest.
You reload, refuel and rest while the second unit continues to advance, then change places and repeat. Scouts always look for the weakest place in the defense, you put the center of mass at that point, break the line and attack their rear.
Two things are important : flexibility and a decentralized command structure. Officers have to take matters in their own hands and exploit an opportunity when it arises, without waiting for orders from the superiors. That's called Mission-type tactics. You need well trained officers and NCOs to perform that.
Of course, logistics is crucial. The main weapon is the speed, and that requires constant resupply.
yes,they are the best when it comes to modern warfare. they should train NATO soldiers later...
Thanks to 🇺🇸

And spring was cold, it was snow in april... But now it will be preparation
@@marcdc6809 They will be driven out of Kherson before winter. The new Himars M30A1/A2 missiles have arrived. Those are anti-siege weapons. Hiding in trenches doesn't help against them. Hiding in BMPS also doesn't help.
Each missile explodes above the ground, sending 180k hot tungsten penetrators that rain from the sky, destroying everything that's not a tank, on a wide range. Tanks in the area are also rendered useless, as all their sensors and optics are toast.
RuZZians will need a lot of tampons.
Lol, they look exactly like the British army, no wonder their hammering the Russian’s, our boys and girls have done a cracking job
Many speak English and carry hidden British flags as well *wink* *wink*
Poor english soldiers...
well new recruits are constantly trained in the uk.. so its not even a surprise
Ukrainian Territorial Defense's uniforms look a bit similar to British ones, but rest of the ground forces of the A.F.of Ukraine have pixelised uniforms
I think you are right...they look like Royal Marine trained dispersals and spacing as well as Commando overwatch techniques as they advance with each soldier choreographed into practiced movement to contact.

...ive looked for info about fighting a winter war,....has anyone successfully fought in these conditions since ww2??
...
@@johntynan8161 There was fighting during the Chechen war in winter. However not sure what the climate is there in winter. The Korean was seen fighting in winter (and in snowy conditions). Afghanistan can also have surprisingly harsh winters. There must have been combat in snowy conditions there as well.
My money is betting on Ukraine over the winter. Russia doesn't equip its soldiers properly.

Russians were reporting frostbite casualties when this "special military operation" commenced earlier this year...and those were the best troops available to send with the best available equipment and supplies after EIGHT YEARS OF PLANNING AND PREPARATION. The bunches of FNG's they're trying to put together on the fly don't have a chance of surviving this winter unless they're able to be taken into custody by the Ukes within a week of deployment.
Exactly. Glad someone else is saying it too.
Yeah winter is coming and it is gonna be brutal for russia
russians dont know the world logistic or planning.

Proper equipment and winter uniforms will help the Ukrainians, a people who can easily adapt to winters they are already used to.
Build for Ukraine!
I would genuinely argue any nation with successful recent combat experience
Such as Ukraine’s tanks in the highest of military’s in the world despite Lack of massive budgets .
I'd dispute the budget argument. In this war you cannot understate how important western military aid to Ukraine was and still is. Up until now they have received more than 80 billion USD in financial and military aid (the former mostly went to purchase of more weapons), which is more than Russia annual defence spending.
@@Ruhrpottpatriot that's what alot of people seem to forget. If it wasn't for the military aid the end result would have been way different
@@badassgoat5601 Yes, because logistics and soft-factors are hard to quantify and thus you can't play "tank/infantry quartet" with it.
But that's the same rats arse the Russian looked into: Logistics and war economy are the last thing people consider.
It doesn't mean that Ukrainians aren't good soldiers, far from it, but people need to see the whole picture.
Fun Fact: They (the Russians) had a good teacher in that. Logistics in Prussia was seen as something third rate officers would do, which led to the shortages in WWI and WWII Germany suffered.
On the other Hand, the Ukrainians took the right lessons from the right people, the US for logistics and Prussia for tactics. How the spearhead in the Charkiw region pummelled Russian rear guard and supply posts, very much reminds me of WWI Stormtroopers (the OG Blitzkrieg boys).
You don't need a huge budget when your enemy (Russians) keep leaving you large amounts of weapons and equipment. These can immediately, or after some small refurbishment, be turned back against their former owners!
@@tfp0052 You're playing qartett. Why does Russia even leave so much equipment behind? Because of western weapons deliveries.
If the west hadn't supplied UA with so much (infantry) firepower in the first weeks, then they wouldn't have won the Battle for Kiev, which in turn would've resulted in far worse morale for UA's soldiers, while it would've benefited Russian morale. And low morale is a key factor why Russian soldiers ran so fast in Charkiv.
Also, you have to look at what exactly US is capturing: Mostly MBTs and IFV. Now these are no slouch, but you're rarely going to find artillery there.
However, artillery is the key in striking Russia's logistics and command points. This is where western deliveries come back, again. (HI)MARS, CAESAR and PzH2000 have far longer range and better accuracy to their Russian counterparts, which makes counter-battery nigh impossible, and lets UA reliably suffocate Russia's forces by depriving them of Ammo, Food, Fuel and CnC.
Without the help from the west, Ukraine, no matter how valiant their soldiers have fought and are fighting, would've lost. That much is a fact.
Ukrainian military will unironically become the best force in Europe soon. With 800,000 active soldiers(not counting national guard, border guard, police etc) it is already almost 3 times larger than the second biggest army of French, while still increasing in size continuously. Also even though their equipment is still mostly old Soviet stuff, day by day they are getting more and more top of the line western weapons. Not to mention the great amount of experience they are gaining while fighting a real opponent and not some radical Taliban tribes
All that wasted equipment in Afghan could’ve and should’ve went to Ukraine or Taiwan, they actually need the stuff.
@@sosaboi1352 Afghan the US did not even try hard way to small a force to work from the start in counter unconventional war after winning the take over war. And that a unconventional war while US in it. US could go anywhere it wanted the Taliban could not stop conventional US actions.
A bit like Ukraine don't invade if you cant go to war with countries supplying the arms.
But mainly stupid neocon dreams of western setting up western style democracies.
Both Iraq and Afghanistan great majority very happy with US invading and taking out prior government with ease. If US let them have tribal council and then pulled out US still be hero there if we supplied the anti Taliban tribes the outnumber the Taliban.
Iraq US actually got the democracy wanted but it's weak. A turn over to Arab League as offered right after taking over and pulling out of all but Kurd areas the US still be mostly loved in Iraq.
US won the wars lost the occupations. Thus not the same as here where the Ukrainian regular military are winning a conventional war.
Afghan arm force is such a joke,waste time, equipment and money to train them, Muslim countries will never have a good military.
@@sosaboi1352 Ukraine has recieved more equipment from the US in 7 months than the US used or lost in Afghanistan in the 7 years from 2014-2021.
@@charleshoang566 truth. Its in their ideology, they can't fight wars. None are our allies.

You also had a war too.
hope they are seriously provided with good winter equipment, including camo relevent for snow if its that bad. going to start needing supply of it now as well as food and water.
they live there, I guess it's not like the French with Napoleon and the Germans in WWII that they'll only realise how bad the winter is there and how harsh a continental climate is when they're there and it's already too late. Also, Ukraine had the most benefit from 'General winter' when the Russians invaded in februari, and couldn't go off road.
They will have their supply lines already planned and working, unlike the Russians
Fantastic channel amazing talk so beautifully explained by Mr.Spencer 💕❤️

Their do it. When you’re fighting for your existence you’re pretty motivated
Quality is much better than Quantity!!!
With the lead time to prepare and Western gear rolling in, the Ukrainians will use the frozen conditions to fullest advantage. General Winter is serving in the Ukrainian forces this time. Orc logistics have failed in summer, so I don't see it getting better for them. Scared conscripts under fire with inadequate gear and freezing balls will surrender in droves, especially once they see the accuracy of the Ukrainian weapons.
🇵🇱🤝🇺🇦 Ukrainians, we Poles love you. We may not agree with everything, but Ukraine, you must win this war. Your struggle is our struggle.
From what I have heard in other reports on other channels Ukraine is getting modern winter gear from the U.S. and NATO. I suspect that Ukraine's troops will be better prepared for Winter Warfare than Russia's this time. From what I have seen the recent Russian callup of Reservists and conscripts has been a mess. In various reports I've watched the Russians are being sent to Ukraine with ill maintained and stored weapons and uniforms.
A lot of factors of course but it's been crazy to see the efficiency of the HIMARS system, being able to precisely hit targets from a massive distance has been invaluable. Currently they have only 16 HIMARS systems and have done damage with them, they've just announced they're getting another 18 from the West at a good time.
They really used the HIMARS to their advantage!
The Russian frost was once their biggest defense, now it will be their biggest weakness.
Russia once had the 2nd most powerful army in the world.
They now have the 2nd most powerful army in Ukraine.
Yes indeed! GLORY TO UKRAINE.............
Send Ukraine everything they need...Russia needs to return to Russia. : )
Ukraine should contact Finland and Sweden about winter-warfare, clothing but also SNOWMOBILES pulling a sled with ammo etc.
Good idea 💡 👏...
UK has been training the Ukranians since 2014. Looks like they are very good learners.
Hope this guy is right. bravo Ukraine
Trained by NATOs best to be the best.
One day soon I hope Ukraine can join the ranks of NATO.
They have done proven their worth many times over.
NATO should give Ukrainian the fast pass to join. Ukrainian soldiers showed their will and ability, why wait? It's master class of military. Need to rid of Putin so European countries can live in peace. And will make a wake-up call for N. Korea and China to see how far they can deceive the world.
Before winter comes, there's Rasputitsa which is when the ground turns into a thick sticky mud. Russians lost columns of vehicles in the spring Rasputitsa and Ukraine is entering the fall Rasputitsa.
The subtle difference is, the orcs never had any help from the Ukrainian farmers. The Ukrainian farmers will support the Ukrainian Armed Forces with their tractors to pull out tanks stuck in the mud and other vehicles.
@@Fabian-Wenzel Even tractors get stuck in the mud. I know first-hand, I grew up on a farm in Illinois which can have SERIOUS mud in fall, winter, and spring if it has been wet.
@@michigandersea3485 There's plenty of videos of Ukrainian farmers pulling Russian tanks out of the mud.
Winter brings not only Cold but also shorter days and longer nights. The Russian army does not have night vision capabilities.
Ukraine is looking like a great modern military. They operate with discipline and great efficiency, like a standard NATO force.
British made Military Hovercrafts by Griffon Hoverworks could be the winter advantage
too slow, too loud
Get out of here.
U.S better
Not a bad idea, but I don't know if the Ukrainians need them. Between captured orc engineering equipment and their own, plus the Ukrainians' MacGyvering skills, rivers haven't slowed them down much. I also doubt the orcs' weapons being accurate enough to destroy the crossing points like the Ukrainians have done to them. I believe winter will be Ukraine's ally.
@@4TwentyFour20 Okay, I seriously haven’t considered it until now. That would be freaking amazing. I mean, Ukraine doesn’t have anything like that right now and would certainly need to be trained in Britain full time on something so alien before taking them over to Ukraine, but they would totally be of great benefit on the battlefield for fast manoeuverability. Sure they are quite loud, but their ability to go from land to water on the flatlands of Ukraine would be incredibly helpful. Ukraine has many rivers in crossing them can be very treacherous right now, so using a hovercraft to get from one side to the other and move across potentially landmine areas in greater safety would be great for personnel. Even just three could make a good difference for a battalion or two.
I think that due to the static situation in the winter, the fight will be for air superiority.
Air superiority has already been won.
@@lindsayheyes925 what I meant is the destruction of all SAM sites inside Ukraine and establishing a situation where drones, attack Helicopters and fighters can fly freely and conduct reconnaissance and ground support roles to relieve artillery rocket systems.

🇺🇸God Bless Our Heroes🇺🇦
Ukraine is another Finland. If Ukraine able to join the NATO we have another Iconic collection of good defense troop and a shock troop in one.
I agree, completly...
Winter, Autumn and spring all strongly favor Ukrainian forces because their dismounted infantry is vastly superior to Russian infantry and static forces.
The Autumn and Spring rains/mud are especially difficult the Russians...and winter itself strongly favors the home team.
Now imagine these hundreds of thousands untrained and forced Russian men from the actual mobilization, far from home, freezing during weeks and months with a disastrous logistic and pounded continuously by Ukrainians...what will be their mood to fight next spring...

@@SuperRmoz yes I know and that's why it's so bizarre that the Russians are saying the Ukrainian army are nazis that are commanded by a Jewish president zelensky 😆
Lol. Tell the Russian MoD to stop lying and at least TRY to train their new "recruits."
Keep up the great work Ukraine 🇺🇦
The training carried out by the UK pre-war under Operation Orbital trained around 20,000 personnel in total in a myriad of roles from command and control to logistics to infantry skills. The number of people trained is not reflective of the skills passed on, such as correct ammunition stowage or leadership skills.
The US provided Operation Fearless Guardian which rotated through US infantry brigades to train Ukrainian infantry in war fighting skills and modern combat.
The Canadians had Operation Unifier that provided equipment and multiple levels of war fighting training, to a number of around 33,000.
Other nations from the Commonwealth as well as Lithuania, Poland, Denmark and Czechi also provided NATO standards of training and equipment supply. All starting in 2014-2015. The scheme of all NATO operations combined aimed for an employment of 130,000 Ukrainians.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has halted all those training operations. It is now called Operation Interflex, a British led training programme on UK soil that plans a rotation of 10,000 Ukrainians every six weeks. Britain has been joined by many NATO nations as well as some non-NATO countries in assistance. This is carried out on UK soil with the aim of providing basic defensive and offensive infantry skills, as well as some NATO weapons.
Need to press on in winter as best can. Russian forces have next to no winter gear so take advantage of how Russia has let it's own forces down
Well equipped? ! Don't know about that one and as for training only 5% of their troops have had nato training. More to do with fighting for their homes and freedom than anything else.
those 5% trained the Rest of ukrainians new recruits. and Yes they are Highly mativated to defend their homes, family and county.
NATO forces have been traing in Ukraine since 2014, where on earth id you get the 5% figure?
The reason UA is doing so well is the training.
Yes they are highly motivated and defending their homeland, but honestly the molotov cocktails really didn't materialize on the battlefield.
During the American Revolution, the American troops we're unable to stand and fight against the professional British troops in a conventional fight. They lacked training, supplies, and equipment, save for what they could scrounge. When France allied with them, the Americans got Charleville muskets and proper uniforms. A Prussian, "Baron von Steuben", took 100 American sergeants and trained them thoroughly in European linear tactics. Those 100 went out and trained all the regiments in the American army. Soon they were the equal of any army in Europe. The Ukrainians are on a similar path. They are learning as fast as they can. They get more skilled at Western maneuver warfare by the month. The Russians get people too poor to escape their conscription. Their nearly complete lack of training is not a plus.
I'm sure Finland will be happy to donate snow camouflage combat gear, it worked before 🙂
Great to hear
Drones gives real time overviews and good communications to react to those changes. Great to see intelligent offences going around obstacles and cutting supply and retreat routes! Winter continued fight will force more Russian troops to surrender!
God bless ukanias family and volunteer 💙💛
Lavdi Ukraines ❤🖤, Slava Ukraini 💙💛✌🏼
I agree.
Glory to Ukraine. Turkey loves you and cheers you. Flag of Ukraine, fly high like our Bayraktar.
Turkey is a double dealing weasel!
THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN, EUROPE, FOR HELPING PRESIDENT ZELENSKY. HE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB.
"if they work" 🤣🤣🤣
And that is a big IF, when you are using WW2 equipment...
Apparently, Russia has the 2nd strongest military in the world. I don't see it myself.
It's been China for a while
Its the second strongest military in Ukraine
@@loquacious- Even 3rd is too much.
@@Nubbe999 Lol 🤣.
Really good podcast. Thanks
The appearance of the individual Ukrainian soldier has evolved into something that looks quite familiar. There are now some seriously competent skills on display in that theater of operations. Onward!
Of course nothing of Ukrainian success in this war has to do with NATO training and support.
Clearly states in the video the great impact of lend leasing equipment
@@HypervoxelRBX Ukraine is nothing without that support
Of course it has, as was pointed out on the video.
@@sharwama992 Ukraine defeated Russia in the battle of Kyiv without nato. It is advancing against looting thug army every day.
How are things on the bot farm?
It's literally the 300 Greeks against the 150,000 Persians in modern times. Ukraine has proven that a well trained, well motivated, well equipped force can take on a force multiple times bigger.
"literally", huh? You're literally using that word wrong.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't all the Greeks and heroically lost?
And where did the ukrainians put the Russians through a choke point for their final stand??
Good god there are just so many things wrong with that ridiculous statement.
You have watched too much Hollywood, go & read some books. The Greek Alliance forces at the mountain pass numbered 7,000 of which 300 were Spartans - it wasn't just Spartans who held that pass. And the numbers ratio according to you is 50 to 1 which is not the correct picture of this conflict in Ukraine.
In my country what is most admired above all is courage. and the Ukrainians have plenty. From Chile my respects.
I like Chili. I make a big pot and eat it for a week. 👍
@@Rjsjrjsjrjsj 🤣 chili is a food. I understand. But Chile as name of country it means "Cold" or "Snow"
@@Rjsjrjsjrjsj don't eat spicy food. It's bad for you 👍
@@PhillipeHasselhoff I was being facetious. Glad you found it funny. 😉👍
@@Rjsjrjsjrjsj i know. We need to Chill, and maybe one day eat chili, here in Chile! 🤣😋🇨🇱🤣
Will see
Ukraine Soldiers= Quality
Russian Soldiers= Quantity
I'm willing to bet right now Ukraine has a bigger Army(manpower) than Russia. That's what happens when you invade a country, the whole country will mobilize.
Are you sure? Actually russians are 150k, UK-rainians are 400k in Donbass
There isn't a lot of snow in Ukraine in winter, is there? I was thinking that is there a need for swift ski patrols that could hit the enemy most surprising ways. I know a couple of countries that could help with the equipment and training.
Yes, all the talk about frozen rivers and harsh winter conditions is baloney from people who know little about the world.
If one looks back to Feb 24 videos, you will see a good reflection of Ukraine winter weather.
@@als4817 That is a brilliant observation S. But February 24 was too late, I think. Putin held back the the war due to Chinese sensitivities during the Olympics. Let's see what happens if the Ukrainian freedom fighters keep going on in the offensive.
@@als4817 I only remember Russian frostbites at +4 degrees of Celsius.
Correct, not very snowy compared to the Nordic countries.
@@acchaladka Anyway, some decent winter equipment (merino base layers, fleece intermediate layers, windproof and water repellant clothes, winter sleeping bags etc.) should be sent to those men.
Makes so much sense.

Excellent assessment based on what we are actually seeing on the ground and from a soldiers perspective , when one looks at the Russians ! they appear to be scruffy in appearance with poor field discipline example their defensive positions look like rubbish tips with kit all over the place, ammunition stacked out in the open without protective cover or camouflage , the same for their vehicles , one can be sure that as mentioned winter is going to be a deciding factor , made worse with long periods stood in defensive positions. The Russians for sure will be lacking basic vehicle maintenance which is telling when one watches the amount of stuff being towed away by the UA , as for the press ganged men who are being set up to fail , and about to join their comrades all ready in country who have failed already ?
Well said ( written! )
Nice to see positive feedback from UK military training. Imagine if NATO fully engaged in this war?
Time 3:00 he's right. Poorly equipped winter gear will crush morale. Western supplied Ukrainian force will have the advantage this winter and thus must maintain offensive pressure throughout tbe winter.
Ukraine has major home field advantage in the winter I see it now: no Russian will want to freeze to death in Ukraine
Azov needs recognition. They make big part of it.
Despite their controversy not all of them are bad actually only 20% them are neo Nazis while the rest are regular committed people
That didn't age well!!!
🤣🤣🤣🏴❤️🇷🇺
Winning battle never mattered- overwhelming your enemy by inflicting more casualties than they could replace is what mattered.
Everything negative that was said about Ukrainian Warriors could not have been more wrong, to include myself. As the narrator described, they are a well disciplined impressive, unified force. Our Countries have to continue sending support to end this war. Slava Ukraine...
Really captain obvious......They ran over the North clearing 500 villages like the Russian defense was pylons !
why do I see Ukraine pushing into Russia once they’ve sorted supply issues and received new jets
maybe you have dementia or perhaps there were magic mushrooms in your omelette.

If they push into Russia Putin will use nuclear weapons
Putin: Time to launch nukes.
Random Russian: Sir that’s way too far!
Putin: What are you going to do about it?
Random Russian:*pulls out a gun* Btw, tell Stalin I said hi.
After this war is over Ukraine needs to establish a constant military presence with a demilitarized zone. Ukraine now has the most real time war experience in Europe so I hope they learn a lot from this and set an example for Europe to follow
That's the answer - "the will to fight"!
