I like your content a lot, and I understand your need to finance your channel through ads, I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem with the specific method you're using- promoting Masterworks and taking their money is essentially giving financial advice while making a cut out of it, which puts you in the same category as financial experts, or people pretending to be one. There is no risk-free investing, and if it's too good to be true, it usually is. KZreadr Plain Bagel did a good video on your sponsor, and although they're not explicitly scamming people (as of yet), they have plenty of red flags. I warmly recommend you watch his analysis if you haven't already. You're risking your reputation for a product you likely don't grasp completely. It's not a shame to admit one doesn't understanding something - but to actively sell it to others without regard for consequences is what a snake oil salesman would do.

Despite your videos being extremely informative and detailed, I'm going to point out the Masterworks sponsorship scam; they basically hire youtubers to promote what amounts to stock in their own company, but without any legal protections and while cherry-picking their returns (they sell only what increased in price and only count returns on those investments, not those that didn't increase).

Well... it's just the military pundits coming around. You have to give them a break, it's kind of hard to shift opinions as quickly as needed to keep up with Russian military incompetence. If you look at the front and what's going on, they're still attacking all over the place, still looking for weakness, still being generally rebuffed and, well, it's over. The Ukrainians don't seem to be running out of reserves nearly fast enough and what's left of the Russian reserves can't be risked unless the Ukrainian lines collapse... but they didn't, and they aren't likely to anytime soon. And no, slow withdrawals are not a collapse. Thus, these pundits are faced with the fact that the entire winter offensive period, admittedly somewhat short by historical standards (mild winter), has been lost through Russian incompetence. The Russians even failed at attritional warfare. It's over. The Ukrainians easily survived the Russian winter offensive with only losing a few positions. Can that really be true? Probably. So, now we wait for the summer offensives to begin. Will the Ukrainians succeed at manoeuvre warfare *again?* Probably. Will the Ukrainians succeed in strategic supply strangulation forcing Russian withdrawals *again?* Probably. Will the Russians try attritional warfare *again?* Probably.

"Is it in yet?"

Another development in Russian tactics is that they have long since abandoned their much vaunted battalion tactical group formation and have created a new one called the 'assault detachment' which is a battalion sized element consisting of three assault companies, an artillery unit and a command unit. Instead of armor spearheading the assault, they are to act as fire support with infantry platoons and small assault teams moving ahead after artillery strikes. These change in tactics appear to be aimed at preserving Russian armor strength.

@joselitostotomas8114

It seems to have been created for assaulting fortified positions. nothing new here, since the marines has been shifting to a similar infantry setup. The problem with it is that it relies on good leader ship at the junior officer and NCO level to be effective.

It was breezed over fairly quickly, but Excalibur artillery rounds are no joke. It is a GPS guided 155mm HE round that can find its target designated with a 10-digit grid reference - that means that it will strike a target with an accuracy of +/- 1 meter. Standard expected drift for dummy HE rounds in flight is +/- 250 meters. The high-speed video they showed us of it in action put the round _through the passenger window of a target pick-up truck_ before detonating.

This gives a standard artillery round the accuracy of the Excalibur without the high cost. This kit makes a standard artillery shell between 10 to 20 times more effective. The fuse can also be set for air burst, contact or peniitration. One other trate being the fuse will deactivate the shell if it goes off target so the shell can be used for close Infantry support. The US does have large stocks of these artillery fuses but is reluctant to send fuses from it's stockpile and is sending only current production.

I'm really not a fan of people taking masterwork sponsors. I get why channels need sponsors but ones that are 'financial investments' like these are more often harmful to the fans who want to support or buy into your sponsorships. From what I've heard ya masterworks can be great but there is a lot of basically hidden fees and a skewing of their numbers as art that raises in value sells quickly where as stuff not making a return just never gets sold meaning that it doesn't impact the numbers they are saying people make. Subjective sponsorships are fine or ones of just products (unless the product is known bad such as komikoto knives) but financial ones are a lot more sketch when people promote them.

So any tracking of value or charts are completely fabricated unless the company is getting an offer for that exact artwork. Like the graphs they show are completely nonsense. Also from what I've seen they setup a company for each piece of art and you are effectively getting a share in that company NOT the artwork itself. So there is a fee associated with taking care of the art and the costs the company itself takes. So its all just messy and the chance for profit is low with extremely subjective changes in price.

The issue us sponsorships in the video to me is more intimate. The youtuber had a choice to not take that advertiser on. But they did anyways which makes them at least partially responsible in a moral sense if their viewers are harmed by that company. KZread ads and sponsors are two very different things.

Great video as always but there is one thing. I used to write this comment at the beginning of the series, and I believe, someone from the channel reacted to it but change has not been made. P66 the name of the road in the Svatove-Kreminna area is written in Cyrillic. The "P" is actually Cyrillic "R" from the word "Регіональна" - Regional. So it is called Regional 66, thus it should be pronounced as "R66". And you can arguably call it a "Highway", but not "T" roads as you did in the video, as "T" stands for "Territorial", and territorial roads are the lower level of the roads in Ukraine. Basically, the order goes like this: E-highways - European roads (stretching all across Europe) M-highways - International highways (from the word Міжнародна - International) H-highways - National highways (from the word Національна - National. Usually connects regional centres) R-roads - local roads between different cities within regions or between non-central cities of different regions (meaning explained above) T-roads - territorial roads, that connect small towns and villages. Not highways by any means. Thanks once more, I hope this will be fixed in future videos.

Dont forget the new western equipment that Ukraine will also recieve which is technology more advanced and better than what the Russians are using as well which increases survivalbility on Ukrainian side and increases fatalities on Russian side + Ukrainians are using WAYYYYY better military tactics.

Except russians in Ukraine

When movements are limited, artillery fires are intense, the situation of the battle is hampered by bad weather and the defenders are well dug in, it will always turns into a meat grinder or I should say Death Factory, look at WWI stalemates, Battle of Hurtgen Forest in WWII and possibly few other similar kind of battle.

Starting it out moderately is better, I'd argue. They're new to the equipment. No matter how much training you go through, combat is always going to be the final test. Giving them a smaller number allows for them to figure it out in the field, with their mistakes not being nearly as crippling. That'd let them build up a core of experienced Ukrainian crewmen to work as trainers. That means no language barriers, as well as being able to convey how Ukraine *actually* uses them, rather than simply whatever American/British/German/French doctrine is. Meaning that if this round isn't able to end the war, the next larger one most certainly will. Caution in this regard is a good thing.

I wonder what the next video will entail

Spain pledge 10 Leopard II but you did not mentioned it

Simplest way to get aircraft to Ukraine is offer to replace the units old Eastern bloc countries hold with updated fighters, even ones that are almost considered outdated. ( Everything military is outdated 10 years before its produced now anyway) Countries like Poland and Romania get updates of Western aircraft while passing the Soviet made gear to Ukrainian pilots who would be familiar with the systems without retraining. Has to be a lot of those Soviet made units and spare parts floating around. Mightn't be the best but at least give them a fighting chance.

It’s better to have a defense in depth here. You can replace cities, you can’t replace good soldiers/equipment. That’s why defensive lines exist to strain an attacking force then hit their logistics with HIMARS long range artillery. At least in Bakmut based on the lines I’ve seen.

Ah I was expecting Ottoman Empire video today.
