Russia ongoing self demilitarisation is in fact one of the great success stories of this war
Below are putins verified losses
This does NOT include the 15 fighter jets it lost this morning
This is 33% of russia's total military hardware destroyed in 6 months.
But this is NOT the whole story , all the modern tanks have been
blown to pieces leaving only WW2 T62 tanks left
43,000 personal soldiers dead
100,000 russian troops dead or wounded so off the battlefield
1846 Tanks
4,100 Armored combat vehicles
974 Artillery systems
261 Multiple launch rocket systems
134 Air defence Systems
232 Aircraft
193 Helicopters
772 UAV's
185 Cruise missiles
15 Ships
3080 Vehicles and tankers
90 Special Vehicles
I did read that russia had lost approximately 1,000 officers and that is
the professionals of their army

Helped, of course, by ships which apparently sink themselves, and airfields which spontaneously self-immolate (it works a lot better with the propaganda than admitting to any possible involvement of Ukrainian munitions).

Ukranians are creating a lot of tactical "smoking accidents" lately.
Maybe the Russians should be smoking somewhere else so they don't get smoked themselves.
Makes you wonder what substances they are smoking.
Yeap look at Mariupol
I guess they are sending flocks of drones to drop cigarettes and lighters to the ruzzians.
They should ban smoking on the Kerch bridge before it's too late.
I think Winston Churchill’s words are apt:
“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”
Hé also said that the fascists of tomorrow will come about as anti-fascists
Dont forget FD Roosevelt : unconditional surrender! There is no going back , all stolen land including Crimea must be returned and surrender to the Ukrainian people.
This is somewhat the end of the beginning. Once Kherson gets annexed, the flood gates for Russian conscripts are open.
Churchill has a long history of sending cannon-fodder to their deaths. It was he who initiated the disastrous Gallipoli landing, and he used tactics reckless with human life throughout his career.
You think Churchill would have given weapons to the Ukraine neo-Nazi's such as Right Sector, Tornado Battalion, Aidar Battalion and Azov. Didn't Churchill help to defeat the Nazi's.
The great achievement of Ukraine and a debt we owe them, is to blow the myth of Russian military strength out of the water. Slava Ukraini!🇺🇦
The monetary value of that is probably well over a trillion dollars.
What debt?, Ukraine has to pay back all the debt for the western and NATO support..
If it weren't for the west providing weapons and tanks then Ukraine was already done for..

I'm convinced at this point that some of them are working in disguise at the Kremlin, poker-faced, as janitors and typists, lol. Slava Ukraini!
Ukraine removed a lot of Russia's planes and munitions in that strike. They aren't in the business of bombing wheat fields with very expensive missiles.
Not that a field full of wheat is also worth tens of thousands of pounds. But not worth quite as much as a tank.
I hope Ukraine gets back every thing it lost to Russia. Putin richly deserves this humiliation. Bot Putin and the Russian people started out very arrogant in February of this year. Let’s not forget the war crimes committed by Russians.
Putin imitates a big boss like USA, but in fact his Russia 's GDP is 1,700USD by half California. Poor him, he does'nt know who he is. He must pay bitterly for what he has done for Ukraine. Slava Ukrainian!

@@russellspeed1693 You need to educate yourself on territorial integrity, the UN Charter and the Helsinki declaration of 1975 which created the OSCE.
Nations borders are sacrosanct, Crimea is part of Ukraine, in that any Ukrainian should be free to live and work there just like any part of Ukraine. The fact that "currently" 60% there is of Russian ethnicity is totally irrelevant, it's not a sovereign country.
International law which includes nations territories and that are members of the UN sit above national/local democracy.
I'm afraid you haven't a clue.
Not to forget another important message: Ucrânia is attacking military, not civilians. Edit massage ;)
That’s quite a “massage”. A massaging of the facts perhaps
That's right, Russia is not earning the love of Ukranian people by any measure. Russia is losing this war for themselves by war atrocities. Viva Ukraine! Praise God.
I guess the Russian general staff missed the lecture about “winning the hearts and minds” of the people they are supposed to be “liberating”. Or maybe it’s just a matter or priorities: do you want to win a popularity contest, or do you want to come home with a truckload of stolen, second-hand toilets?

Crimea is not recognized as Russian territory. Ukraine should be able use weapons in their own territory any time they like as long as they aren't unduly endangering their citizens.

Well, first things first. Cherson is the main target, possibly capturing 10.000+ ruzzian orcs in a salient.
🥱
Yeah and they talk about that since March. When will it begin? You cant capture russians with promises.
There are over 30000 there now.
The Russians were not expecting the caliber of the Ukrainian response..
It's been obvious from the beginning of the Russian invasion,the response was an unpleasant surprise...
I don't choose sides but, I have a deep hatred for bullies...
If you hate bullies you do not choose sides but your side has chosen you.
@Philip Calicoat: Vladimir Putin has MIScalculated almost every aspect of the war in Ukraine. He expected this invasion to be over in a week, and he bit off more than he can chew. Six months later, he has lost over 42,000 troops and an alarming amount of equipment. The Russian economy is on the brink of collapse, and Russia is becoming an isolated and shunned country. Meanwhile, Putin is scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for more bodies to send to Ukraine to be killed.
I wonder if Putin still considers himself a master strategist?
SLAVA UKRAINE!
I see Ukrainians being calibrated every day more and more...
The Russian armament industry is stuffed after this. Buying armaments from the Russians is like buying hair restorer from a bald barber.
Seb, good point! Yet another long term negative result of Putin’s idiotic war of genocide against Ukraine!
Russia is literally emptying their obsolete stocks on Ukraine to refill them with more modern ones. Let's stop lying to ourselves, Russia is winning this big time...
Except for the fact that they are winning!
I really wish you would scrap the openers on these vids. The quality of the videos is good, but having the most pertinent point repeated like reality TV is extremely annoying.
It feels like I’m glitching!
Also the transitions from opener to proper interview can sometimes be quite minimal, making it confusing as well.
He was right when he said that it's the courage of the Ukrainians that is most impressive. Good weapons are important, but they are absolutely useless without brave people to man them.
The differences between them and the Afghani army are stark indeed....

Or they didnt do it.
I am hoping for another deep strike or two into Crimea soon, for Russia to again deny damages and assert Ukraine incapable of executing such strikes, and for Ukraine to not claim responsibility for the strikes.

Like most militaries it is for "defense only". Just need a decent casus belli.
The attack in Crimea looks like a special ops offensive. There are no rocket craters yet every aircraft was destroyed or damaged. Along with significant amounts of fuel and ammunition.
@ David Elliot: However it was done...GOOD JOB!!!
REPEAT as necessary!
Look again. There are significant impact craters. At least five right in the dugouts. Those aircraft not actually hit appear to have caught fire collaterally.
Interesting chat. Wishing Ukraine all the very best. Dry powder, good shooting and God speed.
The Russians can pull out right now and it will not be as bad as what will get.
Russians objective is to destroy Ukraines infrastructure for daring to go their own way. The cost for Russia should be total isolation from the West treat them like the pariah state they are. If they want to isolate themselves let them build the equivalent of a Berlin Wall.
@ Troy Ingram: I agree. The war is going to get progressively worse for the Russian forces. Putin is destroying Russia's future now!

The Americans must shocked. They provide support to Ukraine and they fight. There is no surrender, no retreat and no cowardice. Usually USA help is usually rewarded by immediate surrender. No American soldiers involved just Ukrainians protecting their homeland against the invader
I admit that I was surprised by the way this war has developed. From everything I heard, the Ukrainians were not supposed to last more than a few weeks. The whole world, but especially the Russians, badly underestimated the courage and fortitude of the Ukrainians.
you don t know history and are just spreading lies about USA and allies, Korean stood firm, helped by USA, Great Britain also did against Germany and later France fought completely equipped by USA in 1944 - 45, just learnt to write correctly.

I think allowing tourists to come to an active warzone was a major mistake from the Russian side. Another example of their asanine arrogance.
well they have been told it is a "special operation" in Ukraine, so Crimea isnt a warzone if you ask Kremlin. thats why they will never admit if it were an attack by the UA, but as all Russians say, if you want the truth, then wait till Kremlin denies it. lets just hope they start shelling the Crimea bridge, because that would be a major loss for Russia, but they might wait till they are ready to do a full scale attack in Kherson

An excellent assessment of the current situation by a military officer who knows what he is talking about. I personally have greatly enjoyed your (Times Radio) interviews with so many of your knowledgeable guests and their commentaries over the current changeable situations that occur daily at the front. And having read a lot about military history in the past it is certainly interesting to listen in real time what is happening at this moment.

Yes, in the informational warfare arena, AFU ambiguities about the source and method of the achieving deep strikes behind the Russian front line will now compel the Kremlin to assume a worse case scenario and devote critically short manpower and resources to forestall a recurrence. That is a war-winning strategy.

The photos show three large craters. That is not the hallmark of a SOF hit. That would involve a lot of smaller blasts as the ordnance needs to be man-portable. This is almost certainly a HIMARS attack. Or SCUDS, if the Ukrainians have been able to upgrade the targeting electronics. More likely HIMARS, judging from the crater size and accuracy.

Yes. In this and earlier interviews, the kid (interviewer) keeps looking for reasons why Ukraine and/or its partners should give up. Fortunately, the interviewees keep explaining why giving up would be a bad idea. Slava Ukraini!

If their western allies weren’t holding back on some
of the weapons the Ukrainians would have already defeated Russia. Things have improved a lot with just a little bit of help. What they need to do now in addition to what they’ve already been doing is send a lot more missile defense systems. Take their ability away to hide behind missiles and artillery and force the Russian troops to have to fight the Ukrainians and things will go south in a hurry for Putin.
@Pulsating Sausage Boy: I wonder if the NATO nations aren't deliberately sending aid to Ukraine at a slower pace, in order to draw Putin DEEPER into the war?! If Russia is overwhelmed by HIMARS too soon, Putin might hesitate to send more troops to Ukraine. If, on the other hand, his ego and refusal to back away from the invasion might end up causing him to continue fighting. NATO's plan could be to use Putin's own delusional vanity against him, bleeding Russia's military and weakening it permanently.
I feel like the US has sent ATACMS and they were used in the airbase attack. Those are to be phased out of the US arsenal and replaced with more advanced weaponry. What better way to get rid of them.
@@bobhamulak3646 It’s a dumb strategy if that’s what they’re doing. First of all, they’re gonna get a lot more innocent people killed that way. Secondly, they’re just giving the Russians additional time to figure out a way to turn the tide. And lastly, the wester allies are gonna probably wind up paying to repair most of the destruction and the longer this war goes on the larger the bill for that is gonna be.

Bit of feedback for Times Radio here: I watch these pieces every day on TH-cam, and it is great content. However, the little snippet at the beginning that's just a highlight of the later conversation is a bit pointless. It's obviously repeated later on in the interview, so why bother? I'm going to watch all the way through anyway.
Pls stop with the dubble editing. Super annoying and somewhat confusing and only rarely is a good thing.
Russia is right to worry. Its military is getting weaker and weaker, with more and more equipment and troops gone. Some times your best friend can sense weakness and turn. I wonder if that thought has crossed Xi's mind yet?.. I mean, if China did turn on them, I doubt ANYONE would be in any great hurry to help Russia.
Not a fan of the video cuts being shown during the interview talking about the attack on the military air base on Crimea. The pictures show the debris after Russian attacks on civilian targets, and by association some viewers might think these attacks on Crimea are related to the pictures. Not sure what the editors of this were thinking, as it creates spurious associations between words and pictures.
You remain coy about your special ops so as to not jeopardize their safety and mission.

@ wgdhex: Of course they know! They also know how the Moskva was sunk, but the Russian propaganda doesn't want the Russian people to know, so they lie!
They're talking about Ukraine striking deep into Crimea over a video of a destroyed apartment building. What's that about? I don't think Ukraine destroyed an apartment block in Crimea.

Seems to me, the question should be, "Can Ukraine win the war without shelling Crimea?".
I am surprised it is happening this soon.
LoL what's happening? Single terrorist attack on one airport? Do you know how many airports there are like that there?
I like your interviews, but why does each and everyone of them include the question about disinterest, waning support or 'battle fatigue'?
Because they are used to Western leaders surrendering to and being terrified of Putin--unjustifiably so after seeing his grand miscalculation in this war.
Because it’s possible the main factor in winning wars .

I don't know how many of long range rockets/missiles Ukraine actually has but they will need to replicate it a lot more just to keep Russia at bay. Taking the lost land back will be a different battle all together.
This is all battlefield preparation designed to raise the cost to Russia and prolong the war as long as possible. Ukraine only needs time for troop training and heavy equipment to roll in. The first lend-lease shipments haven’t even arrived yet and tens-of-thousands of Ukraines most fit volunteers are in training, with hundreds-of-thousands on deck.

This proxy war has been open to a certain degree, announcing big aid packages and certain weapon types even fearful of escalation, but the reality is one needs certain type of weapon to beat the Russians and the HIMAR and its different types of payloads is just one , note the TACMS missile , is it now on the inventory ? , note the the AGM-88 HARM is a tactical, air-to-surface anti-radiation missile and was kept under raps until just the other day ,, one can be assured there will be NATO mission creep when it comes to supplying weapons , and once they see the excellent results that they are achieving, will up the anti ! and of course a degree of secrecy on numbers
@@SNOWDONTRYFAN I agree with most of that. One tiny correction: it’s not technically a proxy war unless you think the USA or NATO instigated the war. In my view Russia instigated the war and is directly involved so it cannot be a proxy war.

You need to stop copying a preview segment right before the actual segment, it's annoying and confusing. It doesn't help highlight anything. Just play the video as normal.
All of the correct questions. Thank you.
The bombing was timed perfectly. Ivan and Olga from Moscow, chilling on the stolen beaches of Crimea. And like any good Ruzzian, posting their vacation in a livestream to VK, making sure even their most remote acquaintance knows how much money they spent on their accomodation, food, trinkets and what not…
When all of a sudden BOOOOM a whole Ruzzian airbase is demilitarising itself as a sign of “good will” (or whatever the Ruzzian propaganda is selling right now…maybe it was a volcanic eruption…?😉 )
That can really ruin your vacation plans…
Volcanic eruptions, sigarettes, confiscated yachts and shortage of acrylic nails... The amount of suffering that poor Olga has to go through...
😪
It also sends a message that Ukraine could target supply lines deeper in the North around Belgorod.
@@JossWainwright True. Whatever platform or action was taken in Crimea seems safer though. Which might translate into more strikes. I dunno. I'm just an observer.
I like this guy a lot. Straight to the point.
Now is not the moment for fatigue, or negotiate concessions to the agressor that is the sole responsible for the war.
Kind of like the Doolittle raid in 1942. Great for moral.
Precisely. Though, I'd say the "Doolittle" moment was the sinking of the Moskva back in April.
Ukraine success is for all people fighting for their homeland and freedom against barbaric murderous criminal states. May universe support and protect Ukraine and glory to the brave Ukrainians.
Sure, but they are advancing to fast towards Kiev, they should slow down they will overstretch the frontline
The convoy to Kyiv was an omen for the current Russian phase.
The Afghans where much more equipment than the Ukrainians are and they folded like a cheap chair Good soldiers are just as essential as modern weapons are
those savages countries like afghanistan are lost for civilization, helping them is just waiting resources
TO ALL VIEWERS: Ukraine is a cause worth supporting. Let's all contact our government representatives to urge them to increase military aid to Ukraine. You can call your representatives, send them an email, send them a good old-fashioned letter, respond to one of their Tweets ... something. Take the time to help Ukraine now ... you'll be proud of yourself when you do.
Could? He'll yes Ukraine is going to win. With the help of the west, and the free world. The world's security depends
On it.🇺🇲🤝🇺🇦

Go Ukraine.
Nice to see this Times journalist now recognises Crimea is Ukraine.
Slava ukraini
Russia = 🤡
Has anyone considered that Crimea is Ukraine, and partisan activity may be responsible for this attack?
Fact is that you [CANNOT WIN] a war by being nice to your enemy and [not attacking] certain legitimate targets just because you don't want to anger your opponent's. Ukraine Army attacked Crimea & they destroyed 9 fighter jets which will [never ever be used against them again in this war. That helps you towards winning the conflict but does [not guarantee you win]. Russia was supposed to be done and [HAVE WON] this war already so [DON'T BE SURPRISED ANYMORE] over what Ukraine is doing or can do? God Bless
Could aliens anihilate earth in 2022?
I wouldn't be opposed to that, as long as they don't play favorites.
They have more sense they just visit us and leave very quickly
Not if they were of Russian decent
I'm not even a military man but I know another reason why you don't reveal the current actions of your special forces; they are " high value assets "!
Ukraine!!!
I kind of want the Ukrainians to win, but at the same time, if the people of Crimea have been brainwashed into thinking of themselves as Russian and the Ukrainians retake Crimea by force, then the Crimeans themselves might not accept that. But what would happen if, say, an agreement is reached saying that Crimea is now its own separate Terri that doesn’t belong to either the Russians or the Ukrainians? Would they have enough infrastructure to effectively become an independent country?
Best just blow it to smithereens off the map, End of argument. I jest. Humour in dark times can be important
They could always have a free and fair referendum, held under international observation?
They already voted for independence.
@@truthseeker6116 They had a referendum but it basically wasn’t supervised at all. To say the results are questionable is a massive understatement.
Who can be independent with no water supply
