John L. well the javelins are crazy expensive (I think like 600k), but all the other anti-tank missiles and manpads ukraine is getting are much cheaper than russian tanks and aircraft. of course they will also sometimes be used against less valuable targets. I saw a video once where kurdish fighters I believe in syria blew up an ISIS car bomb (truck with armor welded on) with a javelin, that was a pretty uneven match up. there was a guy with an RPG who celebrated and claimed credit despite the video clearly showing the missile hitting from above, that was pretty funny.

More has undoubtedly been poured in to all that stuff you have mentioned. But it never happens in big bills or makes the news so you wouldn't know about it. But war is a tendency of human. nature. Modern tools of war are more expensive than weapons of the past or the things that go into making things for schools. Countries spend a lot of money on militaries for defense and in some cases offense. For America it isn't sending money to Ukraine. It's sending older military gear that was meant to be used on the European front. And ammunition and explosives that are nearing the end of their shelf life. It is super important and beneficial for America to help Ukraine. The same way to was important for Russia and the USSR to help North Vietnam.

One thing I find missing in these discussion during the talks about numbers is the systems around it. Systems that keep soldiers with food, fuel and ammunition. The ongoing talks is just about this when showing the Russians most crucial problems in Ukraine. A war is a very complicated task to manoeuvre, and the most of it is not about numbers of tanks and soldiers etc.

Until naval aviation, submarines and torpedoes were improved, the battleships ruled the oceans. Today's long-range, accurate, effective, man-portable missile launchers are doing the same to armour, helicopters, and low-flying aircraft. War is hell for everybody.

Remember how propaganda works: the more you hear in western media about "Russian army being inept, struggling, huge losses etc." that means the total opposite - Russians are doing extremely well.

The Azov Batallion, while not the threat Putin makes them out to be, are still a neo-nazi militia that has become incorporated into the Ukrainian national guard. Given that Zelensky is Jewish i have a feeling its a situation of needing the fighters and looking past their ideology, but it still raises some concerns. It would seem with countries like Sudi Arabia, the U.A.E, and Kazakhstan, NATO has decided to look past their ideology for their strategic advantage. Honestly with war crimes being committed the UN should be stepping in with a ceasefire, but the UN is structured in a way that makes it pretty useless during conflicts.

I trained for the AT4 during my conscript days 1995. We had a trainer-weapon wich used a 9-mm bullet to hit a paper target at range. If you could hit in the center 1/3 both horisontally and vertically, you would also hit a tank with a real missile. It took about 4 hours to train a group of 32 unmotivated supply-clerks and cooks to a hit-ratio on a moving target of 70+%. The version going to Ukraine should not have the old iron-sights we used but some detachable scope-sight that is much better, wich was brand new 1995, and I bet that their soldiers are much more motivated. The AT4 projectile does not really kill tanks, but it does take out armored personell carriers, and other lightly armored wehicles if you shoot the sides, rear or top. I wish the Ukrainians good hunting, and may history have mercy on the poor Russian boys thrown into this war by the mass-murderer Putin!

Also just how much do you want to escalate when russia can do the same in our own future warzones again and these big expensive anti aircraft systems will get focused and the locals arent trained to use them anyways?

How is a 30 years old Soviet weapon a windfall? It takes years to procure new equipment clearly that's not what's being used.

Weigh the monetary costs per missile vs. the crucial STRATEGIC BENEFITS of chipping away at Russia's military machine: Each tank/vehicle/artillery destroyed postpones Russian victory by an incremental amt of time, and increases its costs and political position at home. Ukraine gains leverage in any negotiated peace deal. OR if Russia "wins" outright in Ukraine, it becomes too exhausted to invade a NATO member or neighbor (Moldova, Baltics are next). Even if it attempts to invade another country, it would do so in a much weakened state. If Russia is stopped or severely weakened in Ukraine, it lowers the chances for direct NATO confrontation--and the unthinkable consequences that could entail. So if I have to pay higher taxes to send weapons to Ukraine, so be it.

But suicide when you're not being invaded is a step that Putin must know is insane. Even if the ICBM doesn't get through the NATO's defence systems and causes no damage at all, firing that is suicide. Even if the command is ignored, the order to fire one is suicide.

The problem is that comparing Russia's defense spending/military might to Ukraines is an unrealistic comparison. A huge portion of Russia's military spending goes into maintaining their nuclear arsenal. These are effectively useless in this war. Their only purpose is to prevent NATO from joining in force. In addition, a lot of their money goes to maintaining legacy Soviet Era hardware like T-80 MBTs and whatnot. These, particularly with the use of cheap drones from Turkey and Anti-Tank Missiles like the NLAW are not the unstoppable wall of metal that they would have been in the war they were built for. In addition, they spend lots of money on flashy projects as a form of propaganda and force projection (like 5th Generation fighters), which while impressive, there simply aren't enough of them around to make much difference in comparison to how much they cost. Finally there's their Navy. The navy has minimal use in this invasion aside from taking the south of Ukraine. So while they may 'Outspend' Ukraine by a country mile, the vast majority of those funds don't manifest in hardware/troops/infrastructure ideal for the type of assault they're carrying out. Even accounting for this, the actual hardware entering Ukraine does likely represent significantly more military spending than Ukraine's entire military budget. But then you look at how Ukraine has spent their money and since the Crimean Peninsula was annexed it has been entirely focused on a defensive war against a russian invasion. That means they've been spending more efficiently. Add to this, that defending doesn't require expensive complex supply trains, troop enthusiasm/morale (fighting for your own country vs invading another country) and all the other things that have been mentioned. It's certainly not One-Sided in favour of Ukraine but it's not such a difference as the media tends to state.

apparently the large chunk of Russia's defense spending is settles down in a pockets of generals and other Putin's friends. Looks at these super yachts and castles! One of the Russian generals was arrested a week ago for stealing money that were supposed to be used to build a terrorist groups inside the Ukraine. Corruption was the ONLY reason of the war and corruption will be the reason of Russia loosing this war.

And the Russian military are famously poorly organised. Thousands dead in a month on russias side. I’m sure the total deaths for US in Iraq are less than Russia after 4 weeks!

As long as we're worrying about costs, what is the cost of NOT arming Ukraine and resisting Russian expansion? I'm sure that cost is much more difficult to quantify; but it's probably long-term, much more serious.

You know Russia has zero intentions to expand, right? They just want Ukraine to be neutral and not be a playground of NATO forces and missiles. It's that simple. But now when Zelensky keeps making Ukraine NATO's little b_tch Russia is forced to remove him in order to put someone capable in his place. Putin doesn't want to expand anything, he tried to fit Donbass back to Ukraine for 8 years.

The UK shipped NLAWS before the conflict started, along with military personnel to train Ukrainian soldiers. Much of the stock was approaching end-of-life and is no economic cost to the UK as it has already been written down.

I mean, the video is titled "The true cost of arming Ukraine" which in the first part of the video, the narrator touched on the core of the video which is the amount of aid sent to Ukraine. I wouldn't say Ukraine armed Ukraine, as the majority of support coming into Ukraine came from NATO and the EU. Since these sides are the ones that sent aid to Ukraine, then of course the video will be about the cost that NATO and the EU had to fork out to give Ukraine a fighting chance.

Huge credit to all the countries involved in giving aid to Ukraine as well as the speed and urgency that they displayed in getting it done. Prayers for Ukraine.

Cost over $1,000,000 and cannot detroy enough tanks per sortie and can easily be shot down. Infantry squad equipped with NLAWS $30,000 and AT-4 $1,500 are far cost effective and far more numerous. Yet still usedul. The Switchblade 300 and 600 drones are more lethal, easier to use, long range and relatively cheap.

These missiles are designed to kill tanks and aircraft, specifically, Russian tanks and aircraft. NATO countries don't expect to use these missiles on other threats (the US does have to keep Asia in mind though).

If you don’t care about the above, then let others do your fighting for you. But you need to find another country.

@bencockburn4838

The money you talk about is ignoring the continuous money spent every year on education every year. In the UK, we spend 3.9% of our GDP on education each year, but only 2% on our defence forces, which sounds like our priorities are skewed heavily to education rather than defence of the realm. Much of what has been sent to Ukraine is from our existing military reserves. Your use of the term 'generosity' is because suddenly this money is made available where before it was not. It also suggests that the value in a university, school or library is in some fixed assets, like the buildings or the books, where for at least the first two it is certainly not; you need teachers, lecturers, professors, researchers, students, student grants, administrators, janitors, cleaners and so on, which come with a recurring cost that needs to be budgeted for. The only way we would see what you want is for a massive, permanent increase in the education budget and to hope that our civil servants don't mess up spending vast sums of money on these institutions they are summoning up out of the ether. Take for example the Scottish 'super hospitals' that were supposed to revolutionise healthcare in Scotland, yet have been nothing but a millstone around the Scottish Executive's necks for years now.

This piece is incorrect. Britain was arming Ukraine in December and January. Well before the invasion. It makes it look like the UK was late to the party instead of being first.

Can't wait to see their faces when they get the bill..

This all but solidifies the fact that no country will give up their nukes ever again. Its happened time and time again that a countey gives up nukes and then ends up being invaded.
