I never truly believed Russia would win in a flash, but one thing I've always been certain on is that Ukraine WILL eventualy lose, is just a matter of time, and at least from my point of view, after the recent Wagner incursion on Moscow, Putin may even be with more morale than before. Though it's all my opinion, just that.

I like the video because it highlights the strengths of the russian military as well and therefore gives a more objective view than many other videos on the topic. But I dislike the title because nothing you said in the video indicated that this war will end anytime soon.

Yes you are right. But this is not a war between Russia and Ukraine, this is a war between China and the United States. It's just that Russia is a military partner of China and the United States considered Russia a weak link and struck through a proxy force. Russia withstood the blow, and now the expression "war to the last Ukrainian" will soon cease to be just a saying. The United States will actually destroy all Ukrainians in this war, then the Poles will go to the slaughter. And all this in order to break Russia, leave China without resources and gain access to China by land through its north.

bad losses and small progress are indication of war ending. this is because you can't build more and more well trained units indefinitely. ukr is already on multiple conscription while rus only ever did one. if ukr somehow succeeded in their offensive, it will end up as a pyrrhic victory. unfortunately lots of polarized people would go "what about kharkiv" something like that. the thing is that minor or major frontline changes happens all the time. what mattered is the strength and resources to conduct the war and see to its conclusion. i can name lots of nations or kingdoms that seized literal nation's sized land, only to lose it all by the end. one great example is how germany took a major swath of lands in europe, many times it's own size, only to lose them all in 5 years and having itself split between two superpowers by the end.

​@@far_centrist I disagree. In WW1 the first opening months were a very mobile war, with major changes to the frontlines, mostly because the battlefield was a game of chess, troops werent stationed at the first line and told to hold. Then both sides decided to dig trenches to stabilize their gains and inflict losses to the enemy. This caused the entire frontline to be manned 24/7 by millions of troops in only a few km in depth. I think the same has happened in Ukraine, but obviously in smaller numbers. In Kharkiv, Ukraine didnt assault trenches in platoon or company elements (as they do now), they assaulted villages in battalion attacks. Clearly the current offensive is so slow and costly because Russia has decided to put thousands of men at the first lines of defense, which in a lot of places is the only line of defense. This can work both against Ukraine and in favor of Ukraine, it just depends on how they play their cards. If Ukraine gets F16 quickly, effectively, and in numbers, then maybe they can achieve air superiority. Air superiority was ABSOLUTELY VITAL to Desert Storm and Iraq 2, where Iraqi forces got bombed to shreds in their fortified lines of trenches. Neither side wants to use trenches in the modern era, I mean look at how many Russian positions have been documented by satelite imagery. They're there for everyone to see! Small progress isnt an indication of the war ending, it's an indication of an uncertain offensive.

The best we can get at the moment is creators that instead of blatantly pushing propaganda actually try to be honest with the audience and lower their own biases; examples are WillyOAM, Free Russia Channel, DPA, Weeb Union, Military Summary, History Legends, Perun, etc. Some of these are self-admitted pro-ukraine (two actually), the others keep it ambiguous but claim neutrality. Personally I try to stay away from the most biased sources, I’ve found blatant pro-russian channels that I dislike as well as pro-ukraine channels that I also dislike because they are blatant propaganda (I have something against propaganda channels, I hate their inauthenticity) some examples are Denys Davydov, Artur Rehi, Airpower, and Hindustan Times, as well as most mainstream media.

I couldn't see serious negotiations taking place without something majorly changing the situation. The Ukrainians are not ready right now to cede 5 of their oblasts in their entirety to Russia. And now that Russia has annexed the oblasts, they are not yet ready to accept anything less. Something needs to dramatically change the calculus for any agreement to be reached.

If Ukraine loses, Russia becomes *our* problem so we'll keep supporting Ukraine to make sure that doesn't happen. The EU could and will do that alone if they have to. Supporting Ukraine is way cheaper than garrisoning Eastern Europe. My point was that if Ukraine opted for a negotiated settlement then everyone would forget about it and support would dry up. If that happened, they would get rolled over when Russia attacked again. So, they're not going to negotiate unless it comes with absolute security guarantees, basically immediate NATO membership.

@4Fixerdave I am not sure. But no matter what happens i agree this is a huge victory for the west. Sweden and Finland have joined NATO. If there is a ceasefire the west will have the powerful Ukrainian military as a bulwark against Russia right on its border. Europe is taking defense more seriously and will not put up with Russian aggression the way they have in the past. The Russian military is squandering many of its modern warfighting capabilities and political capital on the world stage. And the west is able to test weapons in real world scenarios and learn the best ways to fight land wars for decades to come. All while providing a boost to the military industrial complex and sacrificing the lives of zero western soldiers. Aside from the obvious humanitarian reasons there is no incentive for west to want this war to end without a total defeat of Russia. The west wants to keep on winning so the low effort support that has helped keep Ukraine afloat will keep flowing as long as there is someone semi competent in charge. The only way I could see it change is if that Trump lunatic wins again since he is in Putin's pocket.

Yeah, the biggest issue here is that: A. Russia is not a reliable partner in negotiations. Russia had negotiated so many treaties with Ukraine and about Ukraine, and broke all of them. B. Russia's political goals in this war are, as was proven by a mistakenly posted article on the 2nd day of the war in a prime Russian newspaper, to "solve the Ukrainian question". This isn't a war that Russia will negotiate a settlement to, nor can Ukraine afford to do so because it ends Ukrainian existence as a state. So as much as we may like to kid ourselves that negotiations will somehow save us, they won't happen. Ukraine offered terms and Putin threw them back, because he wants everything, and after seeing what Russia has done to Ukraine and Ukrainians in the territories it has occupied, Ukraine knows what's in store if they lose or give up.

Very brave from you to speak openly about the russo-ukranian conflict. The moment one doesn't kiss the feet of Kokeinsky the western NAFO bot assault hin as a Putin apologist. Being objective on this conflict mean recognizing Russian reasons and realizing that both the battlefield and the diplomatic scene favour Russia, not Ukraine. The more this war drags on the more Kiev loses. I am surprised that "NATO doctrines" are still taken seriously.. NATO doctrines of "maneuver warfare" and "shock and awe" are only effective against forces that cannot shoot back. They have only worked against prostrated technologically interior and ammunition starved formations.. whenever Russia or Ukraine tried manuever warfare against a near peer enemy with plenty of drones, AA and AT weapons they have always suffered heavy losses. Russia learned this and stopped charging head first and started degrading ukr firepower, Ukraine just doubled down. With predictable result.

NATO's role is to expand - invite Japan, create Soros' mumbo jumbo open societies & partnership for “peace”, and to ensure that the US remains the only super power. As for the manpower, he presented his masterplan and perfected formula: (a) Arm Eastern Europeans with US-NATO weapons (& intel); and (b) Avoid NATO body bags. No US body bag either. You are seeing the Soros' master plan involving Ukraine playing out since 2014. The Eastern European Ukrainians have been armed with NATO weapons. As the Russian SMO progresses, no NATO boots in Ukraine and no US & no NATO body bags either. That is bad for US elections but great for the US/EU weapons manufacturing industries.

This is not a Russian-Ukrainian war! This is a Russian-NATO war on the territory of Ukraine! It is obvious that you, as well as millions of Europeans and Americans, are deceived by the false propaganda of the media of the NATO countries, which are controlled by Washington and London! Because the truth is that NATO started this war in Ukraine in February 2014, not Russia! This war has been going on for 9 years, starting with the bloody coup in Kiev, in the capital of Ukraine, which was carried out by NATO in February 2014, and established a puppet government in Kiev, which is controlled by NATO (Washington and London), which immediately, in 2014, unleashed a war against the rebellious regions of Ukraine that refused to obey the occupying forces of NATO (they refused to submit to Washington and London)... In the beginning, from 2014 to 2022, it was a war on the territory of Ukraine by the occupying forces of NATO in the person of the puppet regime in Kiev against the armies of the popular resistance forces in the east of Ukraine in the Donbass. But, in 2022, Russia came to the aid of the forces of popular resistance of Ukraine in the war against the occupation forces of NATO on the territory of Ukraine.

Then send in then planes (fully loaded with anti-radar missiles) w/ Ukr pilots and backed by a couple dozens of tank killing Apache AH-64s and several A-10s for badley needed close air support.

Why should Russia at this stage shorten the Ukrainian/western logistic lines? For instance, a salvaged damaged western tank has to be moved back to Poland for repair, and then back to the front lines!

The objective style of this video is why I love watching. Keep it up!!!

Some of the most honest analysis of this conflict. But that ceasefire would be the ultimate admission of defeat by the Us and Nato

you did a good job. all i watch is this type of video (DPA etc) and you fit in great

thank you very much for all the work you do !! it is really appreciated

Dude, you make incredibly detailed videos. I have just watched my first. Wow. Great job, unbiased totally. Thank you.

Well, the author's preferred option for ending the war is a ceasefire, which happens to align with Russia's current wish. However, the author also acknowledges that Russia could exploit the ceasefire to solidify its control in the occupied territories and enhance its military and economic capabilities for a potential second round. This certainly raises questions about the author's impartiality and warrants closer scrutiny of his arguments. 1. The author portrays Russia as a formidable force, akin to the USSR, with a military economy that seems on the verge of overwhelming Ukraine with its vast array of tanks, aircraft, shells, and missiles. 2. The author discredits OSINT data as "biased" but oddly asserts that Ukrainian losses are higher than Russian losses without providing any substantial explanation (even though this contradicts ORYX data). 3. The author highlights Ukraine's shortage of human resources, illustrated by a questionable image from a Russian propaganda channel showing a derogatory message on a Ukrainian military summons. Interestingly, these points closely resemble the current Russian propaganda aimed at Western audiences, often presented by individuals like Scott Ritter or Colonel McGregor. The underlying message seems to be that supporting Ukraine is futile because her situation is hopeless. However, the truth is that this is a war of attrition, where victory lies with those who, along with the allies, possess a stronger war economy and a stable political system to endure a prolonged conflict. Ukraine can quite easily field 1 or even 2 million army, which is more than enough for this war (the author himself confirms that the battlefield in this war is rather empty). At the same time, of course, Ukraine is very dependent on its Western allies in terms of economic and military support. But if such support is provided, then the economic and military potential of the two sides of the conflict becomes incomparable. Therefore, the West can effectively tip the scales in favor of Ukraine in this war without resorting to the extreme scenarios proposed by the author, like Poland's involvement or a Ukrainian offensive into Russian territories. By standing with Ukraine and offering the necessary support, victory is within reach without delving into unfeasible strategies.

@4Fixerdave

10 ай бұрын

Exactly... I keep reading about the manpower disadvantage Ukraine faces but, even if you consider a balanced loss scenario, "fighting to the last Ukrainian" still means *millions* of Russian casualties. I do get that the Russians have a cultural ethos of out-bleeding their enemies but at some point they've got to sit back and think about *why* they're dying in another country. And, the Ukrainians have the same bullheaded willingness to die the Russians have, along with far more reason to do so. I suspect it is the West that will turn squeamish on the casualty stats before either Ukraine or Russia does. When that happens, support for Ukraine will shift from "enough to make sure they don't lose" to "everything they need to win fast." Yes, NATO wins the longer this war continues but at some point we're going to get serious about it. Oh, and the idea that Russia can outproduce the West is delusional. "Incomparable" is too nice a word for it. If the countries supporting Ukraine actually all spent 2% of GDP on their militaries it would match the entire Russian pre-sanctions economy, all of it. A total war economy in Russia is equal to just another Tuesday in the West.

@@ArtTur22 I must say, both of your statements sound absolutely absurd. First, Israel is dealing with a terrorist group consisting of 30,000 militants, which lacks any substantial mobilization capabilities. This is undoubtedly going to result in brutal urban combat against a guerrilla force. However, it's crucial to note that this doesn't necessitate the same level of ammunition and equipment as a conventional war of attrition like the one occurring in Ukraine. Furthermore, Western leaders have already made it clear that their support for Ukraine will not be compromised by Israel's conflict with Hamas. The only scenario that might cause logistical issues for the Americans is if certain regional actors, such as Iran and Hezbollah, become involved in this conflict. Now, let's address your second claim, which is rather intriguing. It suggests that you are a conscious liar. Frankly, one doesn't need a fact-check to debunk this assertion - common sense will suffice. It's pretty implausible that Ukraine would send pregnant women to the battlefield when there are plenty of non-pregnant women available, and they haven't even deployed all of them to the frontlines yet. Of course, as a proven liar, you could argue that all non-pregnant Ukrainian women are already on the battlefield or maybe even dead. I wouldn't be surprised by such a statement, coming from you.

Very good work. Thorough overview - thanks for your efforts.

It is almost possible to agree on all of this except for one thing: how it will end. There will be no ceasefire. Either Putin goes, or Ukraine collapses. Neither side is willing to discuss a ceasefire - and from what I have seen, the appetite for war is still strong in Ukraine. There is too much anger at Russia for there to be negotiations - maybe 2 years, or 3 years down the line. And, even if there is a ceasefire what can Ukraine give? what can Russia give?

Putin (With a rising nickname of "Chubutin", a portmanteau of Ukrainian national "Chub" hairstyle and Putin) is literally the only straw keeping the brass from mirroring ukrainian cluster munition strikes against civilians in Donetsk and actually attacking power plants instead of popping several tens of minor substations. Once cuckold goes, power dies, what little fuel is available will puff in generators trying to support essentials and cities will burn. So it's not really a matter of whether Ukraine collapses or not, it's how miserably they want it to be.

Brilliant analysis ! Thank you.

Wow.. you have to be brave to speak the truth.. what has the western “free” and “democratic” (😂😂😂😂😂😂😂) society come to 🙈 (well.. always been, but these days people are starting to notice it more🤷‍♂️)

NATO gravely underestimated their opponent.

I think you navigated this minefield very well, please do so again when you feel the need.

I have a question (about aircraft) Typically with jet engines, there will be some kind of method to get rid of the boundary layer of air that is generated by the body of the aircraft (diverter, dsi, or sucking the layer like the yf23). But right after, there is a long surface (that being the intake) where a boundary layer can form again before getting to the engine. As I understand it, the objective of the intake is to recover pressure, which it would, but then why would you try to prevent taking in slow air in the first place ?

@VuLamDang

10 ай бұрын

totally not engine engineer, but my take is that outside of the airduct, the air is unconstrained (open air), therefore the boundary layer is allowed to grow (depending on the speed and shape of the surface). in the intake duct, opposing boundary layers acting upon each other and limit their growth, therefore we retain a large region of smooth laminar flow.

If I'm not mistaken the bad boundary layer comes from the nose of the plane, the thin walls of the inlet don't have the same problem.

Jezus fuck not the "history legends".....

Thumbs up. I listened to the whole video instead of scrubbing through it. I think this is a realistic assessment of the situation. Especially the part about there can be no surprises because of satellite intelligence. So now this is more like chess were pieces are often sacrificed or traded to achieve victory That doesn't sound very encouraging for the forces of light.

Good analysis do more please. Especially with a focus on what high tech systems might be useful where.

Hey, I love your aircraft videos, and I also liked this one. Insightful, articulate and unbiased. Good job. I always look forward to your aircraft videos, but I would also love more analysis videos like this. You do a very fine job. Keep ‘em coming!! 😁

Interesting strategic analysis up to a point. The gentleman mostly discusses the Eastern flank of Ukraine. But Ukraine has a huge Northern flank that needs to be defended. Belarus being an ally of Russia it is irrelevant what kind of army Belarus has. They never need to involve their army at all (other than for the defense of their own territory). All Belarus needs to do is to grant Russia the right to station troops on their territory (which they have already done) and use their territory to attack Ukraine from the North/North-West if the need arises. Since Belarus is not an active military participant of this war, Russia can build up its forces there in peace and unhindered by any preemptive action Ukraine might consider. The danger of becoming involved an a two-front war is at all times hanging over Ukraine. This is why Russia is fighting at maybe 20% of their capacity. Imagine what a Russian attack from Belarus on Ukraine would do to the defensive or offensive capabilites of the Ukrainian army on their Eastern flank. And let's not forget. Russia also controls the Black Sea access to Ukraine and they do have amphibious assault forces. Which might throw Ukraine into a three-front war. This is why in a war fought in Ukraine against Russia, Russia cannot be defeated under the current conditions. Regardless of who undertakes the fight. This is also why negotiations for a ceasefire or peace will only be successful if they fully grant Russia all their demands. Neutrality of a postwar Ukraine, removal of all foreign troops, advisors, materiel from the territory of postwar Ukraine, Crimea, Donbass, Luhansk to be part of Russia. As long as these conditions are not met there will be no negotiations and the war will continue with Russia slowly making its way westward.

Excellent segment. I think the Russians counterattack and fight to keep the buffer zone because they know Ukraine still has a large portion of their drive capabilities up their sleeve. They want as much depth as possible for when these come into action. With the Russian airforce, the su25s do the work at the front constantly, without much fuss. The main airforce, I have a feeling is being built up and kept for NATO. I think you are right about cruise and ballistic missiles being kept in reserve for a massive blow to NATO. This represents a huge advantage Russia has over the West. Russia has stated they are building for a 3 year war with NATO, while the West is obliterating their weapons stocks but are not increasing military industry as needed. The little bit they have increased is still way too low.

@neb-yr5589

it's part of the Russian doctrine, which itself is a modernized version of the Soviet doctrine of defense. The main defensive line is situated few km behind the actual front line, and in between there are few crumple zones, to absorb the attack fists. And when the danger has disappeared Russians counterattack to gain the ground they lost, so they can keep up that crumple zone. It's the reason Ukr is yet to even reach the main defensive line in southern Ukr, despite 6 weeks of constant attacks.

The fact that the author of the video liked this comment even though it contains such a blatant piece of russian propaganda should tell you all you need to know about him. Russia is not holding back. They are not preparing to fight NATO. Their airforce is not being held in reserve. This is it. This is all they have. They put all their eggs in one basket and hoped that they'd be able to win quickly in Ukraine, calling their pilots back from retirement and even grabbing instructors from the rear to plug gaps in their manpower and are now suffering for it.

@@iamYOURfathertoo Just because it makes you uncomfortable does not make it Russian propaganda Sometimes, when Russia does something, it is not propaganda, but instead Russia doing something. Russia doing something you don't like is not propaganda, propaganda is distorting the truth or lying in order to push a narrative. This isn't that. It's material reality that makes you desperately uncomfortable, so you prevent yourself from thinking of it as such. Saying this is all they have ignores that we know exactly how much they have, and it is mostly reserve at the moment. We know because Russia is garbage at preventing us from knowing. You exist in flagrant denial of reality because your worldview, to you, is more important than the world itself. That doesn't win wars. It loses them, and badly. Analyze the situation better and you'll stop dismissing a very real threat, which is the first step to addressing it. Without that, you're going to be killed.

You are doing a great job. For the algorithms to be kind to you you need to make a video almost every single day with extremely provocative sensational thumbnails and titles. But slow and steady approach is also good.

That was a most interesting video. Thanks for posting it!

your wishful thinking is heartwarming, well done! 👍

Thank you, Sir! Your analysis of the changes of the wars / fighting methods was the deepest, most logical and it made sense. I knew many points of it, but you joined the puzzles great!

Great presentation and analysis! You should be making more of those kind of videos! However I think that you overstated Ukraine's capabilities and current situation in the fear that you will be accused of a pro-Russia stance. I understand. You're one of the best channels for military aviation. The wealth and quality of information you are providing is unmatched in YT, AFAIK.

There shall be no second round for Ukraine. I think Putin will not make the same mistake to sign any treaty with those who do not intend to fulfill it.

The mention of History Legends immediately disqualified you from unbiased discussion.

Great video, I think you pretty much hit the nail on how the situation is ATM. What I observed was pretty similar (war footage, summaries by think tanks, etc).
