46:40 As a resident of the Russian-Ukrainian region, I will tell you something that you may not understand until now. Ukraine is driven not by fear for its state, but by fear for the ideological model that now exercises power on the territory of modern Ukraine. so you know: the current Ukrainian model of the state is based on the ideas of Grushevsky-Bandera, that is, a single one. monoethnic, monocultural nation, that is, a narrow project. Until 2014, a broader project was carried out in Ukraine, multinational and multi-vector... until a coup d'état occurred. This war might not have happened; Ukraine had good models of government that did not lead it to conflict with the largest country in the region. And this state regime is based on hostility with Russia and the dominance of the Ukrainian nation. False Narratives of the fight against Russia have their origins in the Middle Ages, all the way to the 20th century - such an ideology inevitably led to the 2022 war. So, they understand that having lost the war, this ideology loses its historical chance for decades or centuries, which will again be underground, marginalized. This is what they fear more than nuclear war or the devastation of their own country. and it's unfair. Ukraine can be a full-fledged country and it was such a country until 2014
So glad an actual Ukrainian has spoken. Been arguing this, for months but people accuse me oof being Anti Ukrainian. I see nothing wrong with a free independent and NEUTRAL Ukraine so why the need to put NATO bases and missile sites in Ukraine . JFK brought the world to the brink off nuclear Armageddon to prevent nukes being positioned in Cuba and I don't think any rational person would say he was wrong, so why is it when the boot is on the other foot they think positioning NATO bases and missiles right up against the Russian border is a good or wise idea? Is it really worth the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men, who for the most part don't even want to fight this war, just so the US and NATO get a first strike capability against Russia, because that's really what this war is about and anyone that thinks otherwise is deluded. The US and NATO are not pro--Ukraine, they are not helping Ukraine, inn fact they are the complete opposite and anyone in the west supporting this war in Ukraine really needs to look deep inside and check their moral compass is pointing in the right direction.
How long do you think before NAFO people start coping for western weapons by bashing Ukrainian pilots as unskilled and unlearned? I can see that playing out.
Someone said it was shot down by a Patriot missile. It doesn't really matter what happened, it's simply the case that there will always be losses - from enemy action, pilot error or mechanical failure. It happens often enough in peacetime, never mind in the middle of a war.

You know it's bad when the Ukies themselves are floating three different stories about how the F-16 got blasted and none of them are flattering, be it Russian missiles on the ground, pilot error in the air or blue on blue AA-f-up.

Ukraine will never join Nato... EVER! The four Oblast will never return to Ukraine... EVER! The sooner we get this into our heads the better and sooner there will be Peace.
The F16 has more than 600 accident (with loss of plane), in situation of peace, with experienced crew, and above average maintenance team. Ukraine is at war, with neither a average crew or a decent maintenance team. This crash is not surprising at all. Half the F16 Ukraine will put in the field will crash by themselves. The other halves will be downed by russian SAM. For the price of this lone jet, you could have equipped all the soldiers in the frontline with thermal vision, ear protection, top radio devices, state of the arts firearms…

Willy, you talk a lot about a war of attrition, but you miss one point In a war of attrition, in which your opponent gets everything he needs from outside sources, you cannot exhaust him. But you can create conditions when the support of such an opponent by his allies becomes a burden. Strikes on the energy system of Ukraine first of all deprive it of the economy. I think it is no secret to anyone that electricity will first of all be supplied for military needs, and strikes on the energy sector will not de-energize such important strategic nodes. But when a country is in a state of default, its economy does not work, there is no electricity, business is idle, it becomes very expensive for its allies to support the entire country on food. This is billions of money for economies that are already in trouble - Japan, the USA, Great Britain, Italy, France, Canada are mired in debt. How long are they ready to literally support the entire country? If not in the USA, then in Germany they are already asking questions about this directly.
You are right. IMO, it's even worse, most states jumped on the help train cause It was Easy Money. Now ukr cant pay them back and suddenly the help became a charade. One himars here, One challenger there, One f16 today... Just spam "gamechangers" in single digits amounts, so there's titles for the newspapers, while they silently walk out of it.
how about Ukraine has a finite time regardless how well the West supports this proxy war as Ukraine will run out of manpower to fight the war with a population currently around a 1/5 that of Russia
You just counter yourself. You can exhaust a country when they're getting supplies from an outside source. Outside sources are not unlimited. Over time these supplies will cause a strain both financially and politically from their origin country. If Ukraine doesn't show gains then political parties will eventually see Ukraine as a lost cause and will move to cut relations. Also even though equipment can be replaced. People cannot. Using F-16 going down. F-16 is just equipment. A new one can take its place at a cost. however the F-16 pilot cannot be easily or quickly replaced. You can give someone 1,000 jets but if they only have 20 pilots. They can only use 20 jets at a time while 980 yet will sit around and collect dust.
Ukraine collapsing is just a small part of the whole Western Hegemon collapsing. The American Empire has rotted from the inside and it's homeland is on the brink of self destruction. The only thing it has left to offer the world is it's military, making everyone it's enemy.
@@E.D.998Supporting Ukraine is also done to get cheap political points. The moment supporting Ukraine causes any hardship or requires any tangible effort for western citizens is the moment the support ends.
This F16 performed superbly. The pilot was aware that the primary mission was to intercept Russian missiles, or at least one Russian missile, and he acted accordingly. Congrats, and let's hope all pilots preform as good. Oh, wait, last time I heard they were busy getting drunk in Romania.
If the crash was an acident or human error, in most cases the pilot has the opportunity to eject. Not so much if the plane is hit by a missile.... just saying...
@user-hb6gu9bd3d that makes it even more embarrassing than being shot down on your first mission. And that was their best pilot, according to the Western trainers ....
you should be a comedian if you think no f-16 was gonna be lost in war. just wait till they get a few more armed with aim air to air missiles with 180km range. no more glide bombs where russians have to come to 60km range to drop them. the 400km range air to ground missiles is also gonna do damage to russian forces. and if the americans put a glide kit on their moabs which is like FABS, then russian soldiers wont have a good time.
@@voltaire229 This is the term Ukrainians use to describe forced mobilization on the streets of cities and villages. "Busification" is when the military grabs you while you're walking with a small child, hands the child over to the police, and sends you to a military training camp and then to the front lines.
@@garysmith6056 Forgot to add. Military Recruiters drive minivans, which in Ukraine are called "Busik". A diminutive of the English "bus". A small bus.
Ukraine opened a new front to buy some time but Russia refused to cooperate and continues pushing the offensive on the Eastern front. Synkivka, Novohrodivka, Marynivka, Krasny Yar, Novozhhelanne and Kostiantynivka were taken within days, Pivnichne and Siversk are encircled, Pokrovsk, Myrnohrad and Toretsk are under siege. Why Ukraine thought that taking a small speck of land in Russia would make any difference is beyond me, Russia can just hold them off indefinitely and advance on the East more easily. Ukraine should've used everything on the existing fronts instead of wasting resources on the Kursk offensive. They probably got the idea from the US generals who told them that using their long range systems will hold off Russia while they can create a buffer zone near Kursk and Belgorod. Insane how the US & allies keep underestimating Russia.
To be fair it's a large speck of land but Russia decided to block it off and get on with their own plans in the Donbass before wet season returns. When they turn their attention back to Kursk it will be wet season there, the roads will be the only viable transport routes when forest tracks turn to mud. There aren't many options there when it comes to logistics for the tourists.
@@fred4687 True, 1200 km2 seems large but when you look at the map and the territories taken on the Eastern front it's really not that significant. Ukraine pushed in 30 km deep when the offensive was stopped and the only city they took was Sudzha with a population of 6000. The rest are basically rural lands with tiny villages and farms, minimal resistance. That was the reason Russia didn't need to divert more troops to the region, it's just not that important when the supply lines on the East are largely intact. It's very obvious that Ukraine didn't have the strength to launch a counter-offensive near Donetsk so Kursk was a last ditch effort to take the initiative where Russia was weak. It just didn't work as a relief plan.
''Wars aren't meant to be won, they are meant to be continuous.'' George Orwell. Especially wars fought/pushed by the NATO military industrial complex. They love this giant money laundering machine too much.
Ukrainian shot down F-16 with one Patriot missile. Few days ago Russian pilot on SU-34 manage to avoid be shot down. He escaped three patriot missiles.
Even more impressive that the Russian did this in a fighter/bomber. Im certain that Ivan would much rather have been driving an F16 while going through that.
To be fair you don't expect your own air defences to shoot at you. 😂 If true though, then that means a US or German team shot down a Ukrainian pilot in a US plane. 😂😂
How can tiny Ukraine (half the size of the UK) defeat a Nuclear Super Power? The population before the S.M.O. was 37 million, with maybe 7-10 million being ethnic Russians. Millions of Ukrainians have left including young men avoiding conscription, I'm guessing that today the population of Ukraine is less than 25 million?
These sorts of posts are amusing. They forget that the mighty Russian bear has been shown up in this war as a teddy bear by little ole Ukraine. And is still being exposed in Kursk
Some where here seeds were planted: Washington D.C., December 12, 2017 - US Secretary of State James Baker's famous assurance of NATO expansion "not an inch eastward" at his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990 was part of a series of assurances about Soviet security given to Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials during the German reunification process in 1990 and 1991, according to declassified US, Soviet, German, British and French documents released today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University

I watched a video of Rainians in a trench , getting targeted by artillery . Trying to hoot down drones . Screaming , debris falling from nearby explosions . Then they have an armoured vehicle show up to bring more soldiers they come out , a bunch of shells go off nearby , more rainians come in . More shells go off , they scream for more soldiers to arrive. They finally show up all concussed , one says “stop screaming my head hurts already” , then the driver tries to leave but it’s stuck . They all scream to get out of the death trap . As soon as they start running one other shell goes off nearby … screams , you see an arm up not moving kind of in the distance … horrible … then they help the screaming guy who is now quiet. They start pulling him on a plastic type plank , one shell goes off right beside them , dude with the actual go pro falls , starts screaming he’s done for to keep going , they start helping him , he keeps screaming about his leg. Sounds like his leg was broken and tore up bad. He’s basically bleeding out , they get him in a hole , and tell him to not do anything stewpid with a grenade . He goes pretty quiet , you hear him breathing and it cuts there . They say he survives but I saw a few com Ents that say it was found by Russian forces and shared by them . All that to say is , Russian artillery was relentless , the timing between shots was quick , and corrections made within seconds . More and more accurate , the whole video , even as they move. The shells follow , scariest war footage I’ve ever seen This war is hell , I would not want to be going up against Russian forces after what I saw , complete devastation and effectiveness , all without one soldier on the ground , they come after to mop up …. Anyone saying Russia is incapable of much …. Should try and find that video
That would mean that they accept higher attrition and especially more casualties on purpose. The more resources you deploy to an operational goal the less casualties you take. Why would you withhold equipment that could overwhelm the enemy and save the lifes of your troops?

@26:00 Russia has not attacked nor caused damage to any of Ukraine's nuclear power plants. The same cannot be said of Ukraine who has constantly attacked the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and more recently the Kursk nuclear power plant.
A much smaller country, Ukraine, has a very low chance of winning an attritional war against a much larger country, Russia, in manpower and industrial war production.
Ukraine is being used as a pawn by NATO, which in turn is just a pawn for USA. Consider Ukraine as just a battle in a larger war. Russia will likely win the battle, but if the cost from attrition is too high, they still risk losing the larger geopolitical war.
@@shanerooney7288 Just like the US fleet got much more stronger after the war in the Pacific (1945), by the things they learn and improve, even after Pearl Harbor an many ships lost to the sea. The Russians are getting battle harden, now aware of their weaknesses and errors, and inproving in new ways to avoid them, new weapons, new tactics, on a proxi war against a "mini NATO" that's using nato's weapons, nato's economy and nato's Intelligence.
@charlieperaltaf Agreed. Let's add to that list: An economic boom _because of_ the war (like what ended the great depression). Profits from the boom are staying in the country because the foreign companies have left. The government has more control over the business elites (aka: oligarchs) thanks to foreign sanctions limiting their options. Plus, a general rise in patriotism, of which the business elites are either a part of or pressured to go along with. Higher market confidence in Russian oil thanks to demonstrating that even during a proxy war; Russia will keep selling, and Europe will keep buying. But remember, this is still a war of attrition. The men lost, the stockpiles of hardware lost... even while Russia benefits in some ways, it is being worn down in other ways.
I bet this is the same aircraft that was geolocated before the russian strike, due to ukraines PR stunt video of a pilots mother chilling in an F16 and in the background you can see a white distinct tower, i think it was hit in the hangar where the pilot and crew were on standby, if i'm correct it didn't even have time to go on a single mission
AFAIK Russia has never attacked any nuclear power plants. Recently Russia attacked substations handling power coming from Ukraine's NPPs, but not the NPPs themselves.
Something i learned recently that is worth considering in regards to the larger picture is how the US opened its boarders in the 30s well before WW2 broke out. I believe this combined with things like Kursk are indicators of plans of a larger war and perhaps Kursk is just a holding maneuver and NATO has effectively told the Ukrainian military to sacrifice themselves for territory ahead of time... Likewise, I think Russia is purposefully keeping Belarus and Iran from attacking for political reasons. it's very clear which side wants a wider war here, if Russia really wanted to fight the world then they would be by now.
I don’t understand why the Biden administration doesn’t ask the Avengers to intervene? Even if Hawkeye and the Vision couldn’t make it I’m certain that Cap, Thor and the technological wizardry of handsome billionaire playboy, Tony Stark in his Iron suit, could make an immediate difference. Cap had actual battle experience and, by all accounts, earned the respect of the GIs, who initially scorned his patriotic costume as a propaganda gimmick. Thor, although a Norse deity with only a hammer in his arsenal, would be a formidable foe for any robot warriors that the Russians might field. The Black Widow could give them the lay of the land from a command post because she has probably walked about Russian territory in her youth.

One again, Germany was not obsessed with Stalingrad because of the name. it wasn't even mentioned in the plan for Fall Blau, and Germany had already captured Stalino. Germany needed Stalingrad because holding the Volga line is impossible otherwise
@@Karahar Barbarossa was doomed from the start. Stalingrad was a trap they made themselves. The southern objectives were clear from the start, but politics and ego overtook a more sound strategy in that theatre.
@@ItsReallyJackBlack Barbarossa was quite realistic. The Germans struck simultaneously at all industrial centers of the USSR. If Hitler could capture Ukraine, block Leningrad and take Moscow, that's it. The USSR remains without production. These are the very "clay feet" of the Colossus. There was no industry in Siberia at that time - there were only empty buildings of factories and roads to them, which began to be built in 1940. And only by sacrificing the Red Army, Stalin got time to evacuate the industry. And only after the success of the evacuation of industry did the defeat of Germany become inevitable. But from a military point of view, the Germans had only 2 choices - to do at least something or immediately capitulate. And in 1942, a dash to Stalingrad and the Caucasus was indeed the best option. Because the oil was coming from Baku. And oil was flowing through Stalingrad. At the same time, a breakthrough to Stalingrad without hitting the Caucasus created a huge gut for encircling the entire army group "South" in general. The same is true for a dash to the Caucasus without advancing to the Volga. And once again - except for Stalingrad, the Germans had NOWHERE to advance. Simply because Hitler did not have teleports and had to supply troops via railways, all of which in southern Russia went to Stalingrad and the Caucasus.
Some fogg, so everybody is satisfied, and we all are one happy family: Declaration on State Sovereignty from 1990., Ukraine said in Article 9 that it would not accede to the blocs: "The Ukrainian SSR solemnly declares its intention to become a permanently neutral state in the future, which does not participate in military blocs and adheres to three non-nuclear principles: not to receive, not to produce and not to acquire nuclear weapons."

Talking about maneuver and attrition, when the west has given up, on both. Limited means for maneuver, doesn’t have the stomach for attrition. Hearts and minds, doesn’t win wars, that haven’t beaten down the people.
That you have kept up so closely and think that ukraine has ANY chance of winning is weird. Russia has outproduced all of nato on bombs and rockets. Russia has many times more the population as ukraine. There is NO way ukraine wins the numbers don't lie.
The reason russian slow down its advance towards Pokrost is because they need to consolidate the flanks first. If you look at the map, you can see the intention of encircle ukraine troops in direction to krasnohoriska. That will also allow to strengthen the flanks providing better logistics. After that, they could continue in force attacking Pokrost. The attack of prokros has the intention to divide the ukranian army and to operate in the rear of the Ukrainian troops.
Willie , we know how this will finish, you dont listen to what Russia says and your belief that NATO or America are a strength is wrong. America has never won a war but you still uave this weird belief that somehow they will make a difference.
the same way the soviet union lost in Afghanistan, in more recent times..or the Crimea war in 1856, the russo-japanese war in 1905, ww1 in 1917, the polish- Soviet war I 1919-1921 or the conflict where Finland literally whipped their azz when russia tried to invade then in ww2..I only bring the wars up in ww2 they lost cause russia still uses the same military doctrine of the old ussr.. however, u are technically correct the soviet union lost those not russia...however, while not losing the chechans, they didn't win either. That's why russia signed a ceasefire with them both times in both conflicts
@anceldesingano8687 you are correct. Finland made the soviets lose so many troops they didn't want to continue it and just keep the land they took. That's why the signed the ceasefire

THE VAST DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UKRAINIAN & RUSSIAN POLICY/TACTICAL APPROACH As Russia moves ever closer to taking the Donbass completely under its control the Kiev regime mounted their most unadvised offensive to date, the ill-fated incursion into Russia’s Kursk region. These two campaigns could not be more different, nor could the general policies of the Ukrainian and Russian high commands. What are the primary differences between the Russians’ and Ukrainians’ tactics. 1. The most obvious difference is that while Russia sticks to getting the job done through a campaign of steady, relentless attrition of the Ukrainian forces Zelensky insists on tactics that he thinks have some public relations benefit rather than anything truly strategic. While Russia is inexorable in its well-planned campaign, Zelensky’s is hit and miss, and as we have seen with his major offensive last summer and the current Kursk campaign, the misses greatly predominate, almost exclusively in fact. 2. The Kiev regime, having unhindered access to a totally willing and fully compliant western mass media, can spin lies to its dark heart’s content knowing they will be transmitted as the Gospel truth, Holy writ for distribution to western populations groomed to believe every word by their politicians. Russia on the other hand is held to account by a lively environment where critics of Russian military tactics abound, many calling for far more strident action from the Russian military. This is especially true on the Telegram social media platform where Russian tactics come in for heavy criticisms from Russian netizens. 3. Despite being massively funded, trained and armed by the western/NATO powers the Ukrainian regime and army run through everything at lightning speed, run out of both and then plead for ever more. For many months now the Ukrainian army has seen depleted stocks of munitions while corruption among the Kiev elites siphons off millions, perhaps even billions monthly. Russia outguns the Ukrainians due to the massive difference in capacity to supply speedily and efficiently to the front and thereby ensure constant access to a continual supply of munitions. 4. Regarding manpower, one of the most significant differences between the Ukrainian and the Russians, Ukraine is lagging significantly behind its needs. Struggling to replace losses to death and grievous injury on the line of contact the Kiev regime has taken to kidnapping Ukrainian men on the street and frogmarching them into service and quickly despatching them to the front. These are the men in the Pokrovsk front in the Donbass who are currently putting up minimal and in some case, no resistance. The toll of death and injury of the Ukrainian side is running somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500 per day. In comparison Russian losses of both kinds are far lower as the great advantage Russia has in troop numbers, battle-hardened professionalism and munitions means they suffer far fewer losses. 5. Russia has air superiority despite efforts by the USA and EU nations to add to Ukrainian air power. Whether the addition of F16 fighter jets to Ukraine’s vastly depleted air force has yet to be seen, though even western military experts aligned with Ukraine say the effect will be minimal and will not significantly alter the ultimate outcome of the war. 6. Ukraine has had to make significant use of mercenary forces along with the additional support of troops from NATO countries absent their customary uniforms. Russia, with an average total of volunteers requesting to join the Russian Armed Forces does not require such assistance. On average around 1,000 Russians volunteer to recruitment offices for the Russian military each day. These recruits receive at least 6 months intensive training and then only gradually and for short periods are introduced to the rigors of the battlefront. 7. Ukraine’s economy is in freefall and in recent weeks its condition as a massively indebted nation has merited its situation has merited it being reduced to a status of imminent default. Ukrainians at all levels are seeking to leave Ukraine, abandoning it to its fate to seek a better life elsewhere. Home industries are failing and collapsing due to Ukrainians having far less disposable income along with the virtual collapse in some areas of the electrical power supply. Russia on the other hand has an increasingly robust economy with entrepreneurial innovation at ever greater heights and lifestyle chances constantly improving for its citizens. Due to western sanctions and the withdrawal of western companies from Russia openings were created for Russian companies to take on myriad niche markets with a knock-on result of profits made and taxes provided to the state growing and being retained in Russia for further investment. 8. Russia has a growing number of friends around the world, with an increasing number enthusiastic about joining with Russia within the BRICS group. In recent times both Saudi Arabia and Iran have joined and a further forty nations have expressed strong interest in doing so. Ukraine, the most corrupt nation in Europe with massive and an unmanageable amount of debts is by and large at this stage a pariah nation hardly anyone but a western nation will touch. With the inevitable Russian victory Ukraine will be propped up financially by those western nations, once again seeing Ukraine the tax-payer billions across the EU and potentially across the USA. As stated in 7. Above, the Russian economy is booming and with good friends and trading partners such as China and India this trend shows no signs of ending anytime soon. 9. From the start of the war against Russia in Ukraine in 2014 lies have poured out from successive Ukrainian regimes. From those told over the seven years of the Minsk process to the Istanbul peace negotiations debacle to various atrocities committed by the Ukrainians but asserted by them to have been committed by the Russians such as that in the town of Bucha, to an almost daily litany of fabrications, the Kiev regime and its followers have shown they are unworthy of anything approaching trust. Despite there being occasions when it will have benefited individual Russians on Telegram or elsewhere to somewhat exaggerate a gain or downplay a loss, the Russian Military in its daily reports has continued throughout to wait until certainty is achieved before announcing either. 10. Russia is trusted worldwide outside the orbit of the western powers. Vladimir Putin, its president is admired and considered a worthy and esteemed friend outside the West-controlled nations also. Zelensky, though tolerated for the sake of appearances has fast worn out his welcome for man and, most significantly with his demand that Ukrainian forces invade Russia in the Kursk region he has been openly criticided by the chinese authorities who the Ukrainian regime had recently been courting with an ostensible wish to seek a peaceful settlement. Russia is, in general trusted to keep its word and honor its obligations. The Ukrainian regime through not fulfilling its Minsk obligations and for abandoning the peace negotiations in Istanbul cannot ever restore their trustworthiness in the eyes of Russia. These are a limited number of divergences between the Russian authorities and the Ukrainian regime. Drilling down into the detail of each would provide a great many more for those seeking them. Western disinformation would have you believe the opposite on almost all of these contentions of course. The western powers however have become infected to their core by the corruption, deception and degradation of those who took power in Ukraine at their insistence in 2014. With the upcoming Russian victory much of this will be revealed for all to see however. The truth will out as they say. Just as the lies delivered as holy writ by western elites concerning their regime change targets were duly exposed over time, so too will those told regarding Ukraine. In this process all the myriad differences in attitude, strategy, foreign policy honesty and general tactics and bearing between the Russians and the Ukrainian regime will all then be known.

I like this channel , but willy needs to be a little more realistic , is ukraine winning somewhere or can ukraine kick russia out , they are losing , it doenst matter wich tactics they use its over , the russians wil probally push till the dnipro river and ukraine wil never get that back , its not realistic to keep fighting while everyone knows they cant win anymore , they never could , how can a nuclear country ever be invaded and defeated .
I prefer the pro my country side and the quicker this bs ends, the quicker my country is better off. So in other words, Russia needs to hurry the f up because it’s just simply a game of attrition and Ukraine was never going to win. 😂
@@sarahbrown5073 While maybe true, I don't think you can celebrate anything that Russia has done or is doing. They have caused some of the worst atrosities in the European continent, not once but twice now, both times when they took another go at Ukraine. There is no reason for the war and there was never a threat to Russia, no more than the fact they now boarder more NATO forces in the north now with Finland joining NATO.
Multiple Frontline breakthroughs and pushes but everything is going well, w less ammo, men, vehicles, aircraft, tanks and defensive lines. MSM really cooked w this one. Smh , it's inevitable.
@GuayusaPure everything from the desig, its quality in manufacture to its ability to outperform in a turn rate dogfight and knife fight with even 4th Gen aircraft.
It is existential for Russia to lose the war, but has always been existential for Ukraine to fight and continue the war. Why would Ukraine choose to fight for land they otherwise wouldn’t lose, all to avoid peace with their neighbor and their fellow (or former) citizens at such high cost? The driving factor is the ideology behind making bandera the ‘hero of Ukraine’. It may seem like an irrelevant fact but it’s actually at the center of this conflict. Winning the war is existential only to Ukraine’s mono-ethic and mono-cultural ideology.
....and what those forces who provide funding and weapons for the Ukrainian dupes. Imagine it, betting your countries future on the promises of Boris Johnson.
Willy, 56 minute videos are too long! You really need to shorten them to 20 minutes maximum or break them into 2 videos, one on "Frontline Continues Deteriorating, Is Collapse Inevitable?" that contrates on where the problems lie for ukraine and a second on on the loss of the F-16 and can the F-i6s make a difference.
Frederick the Great? An impressive man for sure, but a hilarious example to use here. He was utterly doomed until the new Russian Emperor switched to his side! Reckon that'll happen again?
No, when you fight a stronger enemy and it isn't survival (so you got nothing to lose), you better give up or find other solutions. Attacking a stronger enemies weakpoint will just make you suffer even more in the end.
Ah, then you read from "The Soviet Conduct of Tactical Maneuver: Spearhead of the Offensive" by David M. Glantz. Now that, to me, is indeed a valuable classic for understanding Soviet doctrine. Things may have changed a bit in forty years, but nice. The page you are on does say "Combat in isolated villages or groups of buildings along roads in agricultural or open areas are considered actions in and against strong points and are outside the scope of this chapter.” More reading needed, but it is interesting to ponder how Col Glantz might have outline the Soviet way when actions against strong points and actions in cities are so immediately intertwined. Also wonder how he would view the evolution of post-Soviet military thinking and exception to doctrine. Interesting stuff.
Certainly, Glantz was aware that the reasons for Stalingrad's priority was not 'political' as stated here. See 'To the Gates of Stalingrad' by that author
What about the new AA missiles introduced by russian around one month ago (IIRC)? On paper, this new missile is outclassing all western weapons with a range above 250 km. It is launched by the pilot without even seeing the enemy on his radar because it receives the launch-data directly from a satellite. Maybe the F16 had a bad encounter with such weapon? 🤔
"If you lose your main battle, don't focus on your main front, awaken that inner rat within you and make things messy, shit everywhere" Yeah, people don't know how to take defeat with warriors pride, which ujrainians were been called btw "brave warriors" Do brave warriors entertain such rat strategies?
