@@tobiasrietveld3819 I'm skeptical that it will go back very far... The current drones are just commercial drones with little customisation. Wait until the terminal guidance is autonomous, without relying on GPS or a control uplink. Inertial and thermal / visual... That and even rudimentary swarming behavior seems like it will be difficult to counter. Obviously there will be countermeasures, but when you're in a tank with a dozen autonomous drones all converging on you with rpg/mortar payloads... well I wouldn't want to be in that tank... Interesting times ahead...
How do you know it was not filmed by a Russian? There is no proof that it is even in Ukraine, it could even be in America or anywhere. The geo location data has been removed. Posting this video would also make Russians be in fear that the F16 is in Ukraine when it actually might not me. But thanks for the comment Karen
@@voidgaming1000 They've given up more land than they've retaken. Russia is struggling in that, they are breaking out 60+ year old tanks to send them to Ukraine. They send meat assaults to attack positions. Most of these are ethnic minorities of russia, or as has been seen somoili or nigerian poor who saw the money and ran. The average life span of a front wave russian is 2 days. Of course that's not the skilled more trained army. but they seem to have a nearly endless supply of idiots that will join for money die, and their family never sees a single ruble.
Russia will lose its ability to refine petrol long before they lose 2 million soldiers. Since that campaign against oil refineries and key logistics depots began in January, Russia has lost nearly a quarter of its refining capacity. They have already been importing refined fuel from Belarus & Kazakhstan since at least April. Russia doesn't make the equipment to repair/replace those distillation towers (and neither does China) - they are entirely dependent on the West for that tech. My guess is that by year's end, Russia will have lost close to half of their refining capacity, because they don't have an answer for those attacks. Meanwhile, inflation inside Russia is already spiraling, over 8% currently - factor in higher gasoline & diesel prices that will not only drastically affect consumers, but also the agricultural sector come harvest time this fall (and spring planting), and life is about to get very, very expensive inside Russia. Would not be surprised to see 15% or higher inflation take hold.
Not a chemist, but given that refining petroleum is over 100 years old, seems like something low tech could be cobbled together... Might not be as efficient as a modern refinery, but if all you really need is to crack out a bunch of diesel... is it really that difficult?
@@paulcantrell01451 I think so, yes. YOu need to take SCALE into account. Yes, you can cobble something together, but only for one or two vehicles. For more you neeed proper technology, that is very complicated.
With russia now claiming the longest air to air kill at 200Km then add to this its significant SAM resources, obsolote garbage like an F16 will not last very long at all. At the beginning of this war Ukraine had 300+ planes and a lot of them significantly better than an obsolete F16. I guess they will be as good as all the game changing weapons that have massively failed. Might want to check a bit mate on reality.
Russia needs to use their su57 if they want to challenge f16 i don't see any other fighter jet can challenge f16 because f16 is technologically far superior then Russian 4.5 generation fighters
Absolutely spot on, as well as link-16 interconnects to armor donated by Allied nations and, the big one, direct interconnect of targeting data streams from clandestine Allied airborne recon assets. E3's, Growlers, Argus, E7's, Rivet Joints, P8's. All of them can funnel targeting data to the Ukrainian F16's and ALL of them are in-theater or near-theater. Essentially acting as an airborne over the horizon radar system for Ukraine. "F16's aren't going to be a game-changer....." but will they not?? I have my beliefs that they absolutely will be.
@@debasismohanty1952not at all. These are the older models. They don't have the more advance A2A missiles or sensors. Realistically it's not going to perform well against the newer Russian fighters. Well see if the awacs helps but the Russians will know that it's up and they have shown willingness to lose assets.
@@StreuB1 yes you are right about that aswell mate! But itd going to take some time before we see this going live in ukraine! Mayby 6 months or something atleast! Im guessing but something like that!
still find it funny the 2nd strongest military on the planet is struggling in a war 50 miles over their border with the 15th most powerful country on Earth and have lost over 500k men. Thats just embarrassing and cant Russian bot out of it.
How did hitler know to give up on britain??% when he couldn't take london...if u can't take ur enemies capitol....ur fighting is useless unless it's defense mode...
@@coldspirit9904 Even taking the capital is no guarantee of victory, if you don't have enough of the people and resources of the countryside with you. Chiang Kai Shek had all the top cities in China at the start of the Chinese Civil War, but Mao had the countryside and a better-motivated army. The French had Hanoi and Saigon, and the Americans had Saigon in Vietnam. The Soviets, and later, the US/Coalition had Kabul in Afghanistan. Though I think it would have worked in your example, because in WW2 Britain hadn't had enough time to prepare and arm up society by the time the Blitz began, less than a year into the war. And it might have worked in Ukraine, because also the population wasn't yet ready for that kind of shock, plus a lot of Soviet-nostalgic Ukrainians needed to be shaken out of their ideas that Russia was a friend, which took time.

@@ColliWobblers-d1b lol ukraine was responsible for most if russias weapons production and design. your comments hillarious, ukraine is top tier in tech by the way.
It does need some design and engineering, but Im pretty sure they are working on something like that somewhere. That "converted Cessna" thing was a success over (was it?) 1800 km and will sure be improved!
North Korean rocket launcher? Really? #1 The Bulsae-4 is an anti-tank *missile* launcher. There's a big difference between a rocket and missile and a defence editor should know that and not get that confused or use the words interchangeably. #2 The Bulsae-4 has an estimated range of 10-25 km and was located in Belgorad. Fine, we'll accept that. 3:30 shows the AS-90 which has been geolocated at *48°49'21.3"N 38°00'38.2"E* (48.822566, 38.010565) which is over 200 km from Belgorad. You can see the roads, tree lines, and building are a match so the geolocation is correct. How did a missile system with a 25 km range hit a target over 200 km away? Hint: It didn't. Jerome Starkey, do you even bother to fact check your stories? You should be embarrassed that a high school kid can figure this stuff out and you can’t.
that footage of the as90 being destroyed is ~5 months old, putin visited north korea in june, prior to his visit only north korea ammunition appeared to be shared. these assumptions that the geolocation being distant from belgorad as if they could not have moved in 5 months is dumb. but the assumption that bulsae-4 have been invisibly spread across the whole frontline for 5 months and not concentrated in the area where they have been spotted recently is even dumber. if these weapons have evaded detection all this time while carrying out strikes then where is the footage of fiber optic lines leading to destroyed ukrainian equipment? retro actively assuming that as90 was destroyed by a bulsae-4 that somehow remained invisible for 5 months rather than a russian or captured ukrainian weapon completely betrays occam's razor. the lack of critical thought on both sides is what is embarrassing. it really highlights how disgusting the russian people are by allowing this war, as russian and ukrainian cultures are so similar and completely interconnected with familial ties. they have such little care for their fellow citizens and family members that they would support a war on one of their own oblasts just as much as ukraine. any russian old enough to have been raised by the ussr should not be able to live with this complete betrayal of their former countrymen. what a vile, fallen society!
Gen. Melchett: "doing the same thing we did 18 times before is the last thing they'll expect!there is however one small problem..." Blackadder: "that everybody always gets slaughtered in the first 10 seconds?" Gen. M: "precisely!"
I believe that Russian Fighter Bombers, drop there gliding bombs from 40-50 km from the target, with the gliding bomb actually being able to glide up to 80km, An F-16 fighter jet should be able to engage a Russian fighter/bomber from a distance of approx. 100km, thanks to its advanced radar and long-range air-to-air missiles - always assuming that these are supplied along with the Jets to Ukraine.... do we know? is this something you could cover?
F16 used as an air defence west from Dniepr is a game changer. Might not win a war by itself, but it is a huge capability and will affect the front lines. Not everything needs to have first line effects, second and third count as well.
European F-16s were made by Dutch Fokker (no longer existed) and Belgian SABCA. Fokker produced early F-16A/B Block 5/10/15s for the Netherlands and Denmark while SABCA produced similar machines for Belgium and Norway.
@@andrewclemenson8041 I think youre using the map wrong. When you look at it and then go back in time and see territory going away from the russian front, that means russia made progress. Because your going back in time, where they havent yet made that progress
@@DaveWills-x4l well the Ukrainians are defending their homes and families from the invaders. Freddie Flintstone could be the Ukrainian president elected or not and the Ukrainians would still fight for their land. We do love Freddie.
There is a recent article on Meduza about Russians who fled the country when the mobilization was announced - and how THEIR MOTHERS ATTACKED THEM FOR DESERTION. One guy's mom tried to get his younger brother to report him to the conscription office. Does that answer your question? Those not drugged by Putin's propaganda, who remain in Russia, are well aware of the prison to front to landfill pipeline.
More fantastic reporting, thank you Jerome. You really are one of the best journalists I've encountered in my (too many 😂) years. Keep up the great work and stay safe, mate. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇦🇺
You have to be absolutely disgusted with Hungary and other European nations while they celebrate the Olympics the eastern neighbor Ukraine is being invaded and overwhelmed by North Korean and Iranian weapons they are literally getting invaded and acting like it’s not that serious frustrating how weak the European response has been
"Normalcy Bias" I believe is the technical term in psychology for what you are describing. If one prepares for dealing with a problem, one is admitting that the problem exists.
is it life or death? The whole reason almost a million Americans died in WW2 was because Europes appeasement towards hitler. The same lesson for a third time wake up we won’t keep sending a million troops to rescue you are people’s lives are precious not for you too use every time someone takes advantage of your complacency and lack of resolve
@@lnebw99 When Hungary are maintaining normal relations with Russia, they are emboldening Putin. They should be kicked out of the EU, see how popular Orban is then

@@jeromestarkey It is a great topic. Thousands of listening posts reporting source of sound, sighting of flashes, time of travel etc. They were able to pinpoint artillery parks and do counter battery fire very effectively. Well, the British anyway.
@glennquagmire1747 I will assume you have nothing of any interest to add, I have read through these comments and 99.9% are siding with Ukraine! And by the way it's 'have' not has...
Russia is losing heavily with 1000 $ drone vs. million dollar tanks and IFV is no joke putin must be mad again. this battle is a different ball game with superior knowledge and amazing UKRANIAN talents and bravery they never back down imagine and let me remind you folks outa there that this war as supposedly a 3 day war but look up this is year 2024 and we are heading to 2025 half way already still UKRAIN is still up and bloody running .lmao..SLAVA UKRAINE
Yeah, that explains why Ukraine has less territory now than they did before this US proxy war started. The last time I checked, the side who has taken the most territory is the side that is winning a land war. Ukraine is resorting to conscription, hardly an army of amazing talents & bravery. No amount of slava Ukranies is going to change this fact, my little brainwashed friend.
The radar sensors I believe actually originate from WW1. They didn't have radar but using the sound waves from enemy artillery and delicate sound measuring devices spread along the front line. They'd use these to triangulate the location of where the enemy was firing from/how far away and return fire
General McNaughton, sitting on the crapper timing enemy artillery flashes till their shells made the actual contact with the ground around his biffy, did the math while sitting on the throne and then went out and returned fire , destroying all the enemy artillery. Read more about this in the book called "VIMY" written by Pierre Burton.
You are correct. In WW One, sound (acoustic) information Was used to try to find the position enemy cannon. My understanding was that it had mixed success.
@@raywhitehead730 Correct, it was far from a perfect system but was better than guessing or following flashes across no mans land. Ingenious idea and with more time and money invested could have become something far more reliable. Until of course radar became a thing.
Because I imagine they will suffer the same fate as all the other wonder weapons, not very good. Yanks don’t want the world to see how poor the weapons are.
Was thinking of the Neptune missiles again only to find out they can only produce two a month so unless Jake Sullivan falls out of a window soon (only into a coma) can't the ukrainians use some of the money they are getting to pay Ratheon to start upping the production if they ship the schematics over

The actual cash being handed over to Ukraine as part of these aid packages is little to none; the dollar amounts you're seeing are the total value of the equipment being provided.
Your calculations for Russian casualties don’t factor in their loss of hardware. With less available hardware, losses will accelerate, What’s more, remaining hardware is less capable (T-55’s). So Russian losses could likely accelerate.
Thank you for these updates. Any information that can be verified and provided is deeply appreciated. Thank the ENTIRE STAFF for the long hours and hard work. Accurate reporting is an essential part of any modern conflict. Thanks. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

EXCELLENT REPORT! Deeply appreciate your reports--AS US MEDIA UNIFORMLY SUPPRESSES THIS HORRENDOUS WAR AGAINST UKRAINE--but for Israel/Hamas, daily heavy coverage. Israel: 9 million population. Ukraine: 40 million.
How can they keep sending wave after wave of metal coffins for these Russian soldiers, that don't want to be there. What a heartless leadership. Getting rid of outdated equipment is one thing, but real people are inside.
@@mylessalmon2569 Right. I live in Ukraine, but there's a ton of things I would like to know but don't or can't. War, real war, is complex. Even the generals don't know everything (or else they'd always have winning strategies). Many things won't be confirmed or debunked for months or years.
I think you are talking about Western economies. While you are cheering on the unnecessary deaths, you dont seem to have noticed that Western currencies are collapsing, property has become unaffordable, interest rates are now forcing mortgagee sales with Blackrock buying up the firesales & the WEF continues to establish their foothold where more and more it looks increasingly likely you will own nothing, just like Klaus Schwab has said. Russian GDP is around 3%. They're doing just fine, regardless of what you've been told to think. But keep up with the slava Ukrainies - it helps the global elites feel assured that their rules based international (one world) order will be a reality soon.
Everyone is human. You think the soldiers WANT to be in a war? If Putin was like a normal soldier fighting on the ground, he would not want to be fighting.
Thanks. Glad you like them. We're going to stick with weekly. But I can recommend (our rival) Ukraine Daily podcast (audio only) from the Telegraph newspaper for more fequent updates
The AS-90 that was hit was geolocated by the town of Riznykivka or Sviato-Pokrovske which is over 200 km from Belgorad. How does a Bulsae 4 with a range of 10-25 km hit a target 200 km away? Here's the location of the AS-90 shown at 3:30 : *48°49'21.2"N 38°00'38.0"E* This report from Jerome Starkey and _The Sun_ *is* full of false information.

@14:31 “These are still human beings” - agreed, and seeing the battlefield conditions, equipment shortages, commander attitudes, it must actually be way more terrible to be a Russian soldier on the battlefield, but also, you cannot equivocate between those defending their homes, people and those who have attacked their neighbor unprovoked. Most often comments like those are aimed at drawing such false equivalency in my experience.
Ukraine cannot sustain these losses that's why its democratic Allies should support as a coalition in support of free, in support of democracy which has always cost lives to win. That's history , that's true & now it's happening again .
