Lesson from Ukraine: Our fighting doctrine is fatally flawed because our "precision" weapons fail

- "Precision beats mass" and "one shot, one kill" are the foundations of Western combat doctrine. It supposes that our weapons, which are highly accurate, can through deliberate target selection and mission execution overcome large disadvantages in manpower.
But prior to the Ukraine War, that theory had not been tested against a "peer opponent". Previous conflicts were against inferior forces, poorly equipped.
Russia and China, on the other hand, have world-class militaries, and Russia has shown a shocking degree of adaptability against our precision weapons platforms. Their Electronic Warfare efforts include jamming of our radar systems and GPS satellite feeds, and it is proving so successful that our artillery and missile systems are obsolete within mere weeks of their deliveries to Ukrainian warfighters.
Senior military officers and defense experts are finally raising alarm, and admit that our assumptions about our capabilities have been greatly exaggerated.

The U.S. military industrial complex is profit oriented; they manufacture what sells. Russia's MIC is not; they manufacture what the military says it needs in accord with Russian military doctrine. What they manufacture has to work. No ifs, ands, or buts. Also, Russia and China do not offer courses in gender studies.
Must be so nice to have a MIC that serves the country and not the other way around😑
Three words! West is fxxked
Rest assured, Russia and China are exchanging notes on the Ukraine conflict. China knows they will be next and has to prepare a surprise for US military in the Pacific.

The reason is simple. When the US GPS system was designed back in the 70s, they never thought about Electronic Warfare. US GPS satellites broadcast at 40W. So all it takes is a 500W transmitter to drown out the GPS signals for 300 miles. Russia have designed their GPS system initially to match US system, ie. 40W. Then they doubled it to 80W. And now some of their satellites broadcast at 160W. It is still easily jammable by the US.
So if the US were to bring GPS jammers, neither Russian or US GPS weapons would work properly. Chinese Beidou GPS system broadcasts at 1,400W. Yes over one thousand watts. It makes their GPS much harder to jam and if they use an antenna array and special anti-jamming antennas, we might not be able to jam Chinese GPS signals.
So there is no mystery about this. It's just a matter of using a concert speakers to drown out conversation across a distance of a normal room. With the Chinese it's like using room speakers to try to drown out concert speakers. Not easy to do. This analogy only goes so far. After all jammers are on the ground and GPS transmitters are in space.
Obviously, China was thinking about jamming problem when they designed their GPS system. So can we jam Chinese GPS signals? We don't know. But we do know they can jam ours.
China has a very active Space Warfare programme, with a number of orbital assets which have been shown to be capable of degrading surface radars, especially those used for weapons guidance on the US's Aegis class boats. China knows how the US plans to engage them, and has been designing assets to disrupt any US military activity. No doubt Russia has been sharing information concerning the limitations of US technology, as well as countermeasures solutions.
They did it a few days ago near Philippines, and it disrupted the GPS operation in Luzon.

That’s an interesting thought.
I’m thinking, no one in charge of war should be optimistic. It just makes you more likely to instigate war, because you talk yourself into believing you will win, or won’t suffer.
Pessimism is good; accepting your people would probably die if you choose to go to war tends to make you very selective about what makes it worth asking it from them.
Pragmatism is not bad either, as in almost all cases there’s a non-war solution that is more profitable than war, and thus worth exploring.
Arrogance, sheer arrogance. No wonder that America prefers proxy wars, but why war at all if you aren't good at it?
Good at making money from it.
War requires weapons. It is a marketing trick...
They have been up against goat herders proudly demonstrating their military might. Now that someone that matches their military might or even outperforms their military might has taken them on they have been exposed left right and center. All that western pride and arrogance seems to be on the verge of going down the gurgler.

The US empire do actually want to destroy and break up Russia and then try do the same for china. The for profit corps of course have such a stranglehold on the American deep state that they have far too much say in what gets produced for what profit to accomplish that task. In either case it\'s not just perpetual war, they do want to win and they will always make a terrorist enemy ( war on terror) to keep selling weapons if they should defeat the Russians/Chinese.

Last year, I TA’d Georgetown’s MBA course “China: Econ, Politics, and Business”. A lot of military folks since it’s a DC school, and I’d say the general view of China among the MBA’s was pretty much stuck in 2008 at the start of the semester. If I were doing it this year, I would’ve sent these videos to them every week. Keep up the great work
they’re stuck with image of China in 1980s.
Stuck with image of China 2008, and even more problematic is stuck with image of Russia 1990 to 2000 during the drunk, but amiable Yeltsin years. The US wants another Yeltsin, but that time has passed.

Or how the Ukrainian counter offensive would overwhelm Russia. All that bs nonsense was proudly regurgitated time and again by the western until nothing like that ever played out on the ground.

Probably not. You can't even get one of your light aircraft carriers underway without some sort of mishap that results in delay or being towed back. You no longer have the manpower and expertise to maintain your military forces. Fortunately, it doesn't matter, because America will do the actual fighting, and you're just there to add "international" flavor to whatever the US does.

Does USA see the (Increasingly inevitable) loss of power and influence coming and use "The Big Stick"?
This is impossible. To do this you need to acknowledge reality. But for this you need to humble your pride.
A Russian T-72 costs about 1.2 million USD. An US made M1A1 Abrams costs about $10.4 million USD.
Russians are fielding huge Tu-95 bombers that can carry 11 tonnes of weapons that cost about $26 million each. We are giving Ukraine F16 fighters costed at $63 million each. A Russian MiG 29 costs about $11 million and their Su 30 costs about $30 million.
The Russians are making 155mm artillery shells for about 25% to 30% of the price of the EU made shells which gets supplied to Ukraine.
The Russian Iskander missile, which is nuclear capable and flies at March 6-7 with a range of 500 km, has a unit cost of $3 million, and can carry a warhead up to 700kg.
The US ATACM, which is not nuclear capable, flies at March 2-3 with a range of about 300km, has a unit cost of about $2 million, and carry warhead up to 170-200kg.
And thats just Russians. If we compared this with China it would be a bad joke. The Chinese 055 Destroyer costs about 950 million and is probably the best destroyer class ship right now, and its comparable US destroyer Zumwalt class costs around $7 billion.
Well gee let's see, a nut and bolt costs $40k. More like overcharging and then boasting about spending the most in military lol
Our MIC is ripping our tax money off.
China is still building more 055, hahaha. They deployed four 055s to the SCS. These four ships have combined firepower in anti-ship missiles than probably the entire SE Asia but even then they were targeting us. They were trying to teach the US and Filipinos a lesson.

This was quite an overwhelming wake up call, Kevin. However we need to improve attitude with respect to the world, instead of our military deterrents. The US needs a time off for deep introspection. by dwelling into its own century of humility.
Winning a war you need to mostly depend on four aspects, the will and determination of the troops, the technological gap between weaponry of yours and your enemy's, the capability of producing those weaponry for replacement, and the replenishment of capable soldiers in all pos.
BTW, sending civilians who have been dragged from the streets and houses to the frontline after few weeks of basic military training with different kinds of aid foreign weapons, is not war, is suicide, is slowly destroying your own country by losing a large portion of youth and mid-age population for nothing.
I heard a story online about a young Ukranian man. He hasn't leave his home for over 1 year. His sisters went out and brought him food everyday. His best friend got dragged off the street and got sent to the frontline.

The other side of this is that we demonstrated those advanced weapons and strategies thousands of times over the past thirty years and the Russians and Chinese have been able to study our systems at leisure, while we scarcely changed those systems because we were selling them around the world and they were INTEGRATED with other delicate systems needed to make them work. The Russians, Chinese, Iranians all had plenty of time to study weapons we abandoned in Afghanistan. We have shown exactly what we will do and we cannot change those tactics because… they’re integrated… While Russia, China, and Iran design brand new, top-notch weapons precisely designed to foil all these weapons they know so much about.
You worry too much and unnecessarily. They never know that the US always has some cards up the sleeves.
Like last time, when the US found itself unable to compete with one of China's telecom company, Donald Trump's regime resorted to kidnapping the CFO and the daughter of the founder of that company, and detained her under house arrest for more than 1000 days, and it worked wonderfully. Huawei telecom company was slowed down for three years, making up the time for Biden to launch on time the ban on the exports of all sorts of chips as well as the exports and the after-sale service of machine tools produced by Dutch company ASML to China.
Hey, do you know about last himalayan conflict between China and India?
They are smart. And fight with sticks and blunted swords...
😂😂😂

They fought with these primitive weapons to prevent an escalation to all out warfare.
Chinese stuff is mostly crap.
Russians and Iranians though, can make some decent equipment.

It’s pretty arrogant when you say you’re fighting A peer Opponent when you Are actually getting your ass kicked.
It all comes down to two decisive metrics of the progress of Science and Technology.
1 - the Quality/Price ratio of R&D. China and Russia are clear leaders over the US & the EU with their STEM brainpower capacity.
2 - the Quality/Price ratio of mass production. Again China and Russia are clear leaders ofver the US & the EU. Russia with it's much lower domestic energy costs. China with it's overall depth of manufacturing capacity.
You can bet the US deep state are fully aware of this, such that their position of world hegemony is going to be dethroned.
They have passed the stage of denial, and entering a stage of anger, as evidence with their random close door policies and wild media wars against China in the past few years.
It'll take a long while for the US to move on to stages of bargaining/depression and finally acceptance. That's when the world would be in peace again.
Russia has a much more strategically astute leader, who is actively steering his country to align and proactively shape the new world order.
....over-extended thru lies and corruption.
It has been destroyed from within by the CIA and FBI. The CIA misled the country and the FBI destroyed the political opposition. Look how many political prisoners there are in the USA. Way more than people think.
This is one of the best analysis being made in this current war.
They don't care this is there plan..... THREADS
What are THREADS about?
Finalization does not win wars. Maximizing share holder value does not win wars.
But it starts &prolongs them for profits.
How about using more diplomacy instead of using hard power
"America does not do diplomacy. It does weaponry and often time that is the only solution offered" - Prof Jeffrey Sachs

This is impossible. To do this you need to acknowledge reality. But for this you need to humble your pride.

Live peaceably USA and enjoy your USD and stop creating conflicts wherever you pivot. It is such a privilege to print USD and get actual goods & services and export inflation. Pride comes before a fall. You have been boasting and bullying too much.
don’t speak English yet if you can’t spell Peacefully correctly. We don’t care what narrative you’re telling fact is our civilization has evolved from Rome to Diego García the world has benefited and Russia must realize the age of conquest is over, hundreds of thousands of Russians are dead and you’re here misspelling, shut up
Aye
The US is like a retired boxer joining a mud wrestling competition trying to prove he is not old yet .
He could easily just sit in the audience and watch .
Instead, he risks everything just to get dirty and possibly get humiliated .
Exactly
Another chilling view of US assumptions. Our very best weapon and defense and diplomatic systems are being tested in Israel and Gaza. How we are going is just as alarming.
Failing on all fronts.
It's the Fall of Rome with WiFi.
And the US is playing the part of Rome.
YOUR COMMENTARY ON WAR IS AS GOOD AS YOUR ECONOMICS!
BRILLIANT......SO SUCCINT!
Blessings from Australia.
Pleasure to hear a real sober, intelligent, not bias American's opinion. With such people, our countries had fruitful periods of productive cooperation in the early 1930s
The United States' greatest strength is "Inflated" Currency value, but also its greatest vulnerability when funds are utilized to finance "overpriced" projects.
You're 100% right .
a couple guys with fishing boats made a whole aircraft carrier retreat🤷🏾♂️
Because it was an old Carrier called The U.S.S. Card
@@AdrianFahrenheitTepes still an aircraft carrier, with a whole strike force
The other aspect is that the Ukrainian army is showing discipline in the face of superior firepower.
I don’t think that we in the US will show this level of discipline if we faced the combat odds of the Ukrainians.
If only engineers ruled the world...
You mean like in China? I believe Xi was a chemical engineer graduate
70% of Chinese top government officials, including Xi, have high STEM degrees.
God no, we need people of every walk of life to lead.
A group of people pocketed and pocketing the budget’s funds. 😂
TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN.
I imagine the US is busy redesigning GPS satellites to broadcast at higher power and doing something to make it more jam resistant. But the problem is that the US currently has no satellites broadcasting at higher power. And that isn't going to change for years because it takes years to build and launch a constellation of satellites to replace the current GPS satellites.
And it's going to cost a lot of money.
Then add that you can BET whenever "someone" was designing systems to combat those satellites, a person in the room asked a question...
"What if they increase the power?"
and the answer came back
"Good point... design for 4 times the output, but only use 25% to start"
The Russian/Chinese boots on ground are highly skilled (STEM) & disciplined.
What is STEM abbreviation??
@@mna7308science, technology engineering and mathematics if I remember correctly.
US can only get poor people especially immigrants to enlist. Even many are opting that out to zero sum shopping.

Underestimation of Russia has turned to be an advantage to them 👍
The media downplayed a couple of incidents - there was an encounter of PLAN and USN in the SCS. Afterward, several USN vessels were quickly recalled to port for "refits". What happened in those encounters was anyone's guess. The Australian Navy also had an encounter. The sailors complained of headaches afterward.
DEW, Havana Syndrome.😢😢😢
well, it was electronic warfare between PLAN & USN, and parts of Philippines did not get any signal as a result of the incident.
@@wf645 ， Low quality telecom and internet infrastructure of the Philippines, which could go off grid because of bad weather conditions, which happens quite often. And you are blaming it on some fictitious thing?
Connecticut was not an accident. Limping back to America above water.
@@etbuch4873 clearly you have no idea what had brewed in SCS. I guess ignorance is bliss
It’s incredible how obvious these questions are… without any of the 24 hours news having coverage.
Great reporting 💯👍👍👍💯
Tiger Leaping Gorge! Nice.
Been there. Fantastic area, and a haven for some very unusual, highly adapted wildlife.
2012 or so I was in a cinema in Beijing. There was an American movie shown how the army took an attacking alien invasion down... Suddenly in the middle of the movie a Chinese guy behind me started laughing out loud and couldn't stop. Asked him:" What's up man?!" He answered to me: You know, the Americans can only win wars in Hollywood.!"...and continued laughing....
I love peace and wish all powers work together to achieve peace and environmental
Peace does not sell, unfortunately 😭😔😔
Love your channel! You deserve way more followers. Keep up the great work!! 👏👏
Quantity has a quality of its own.
US precision munitions are expensive, and they don't work. It's better to produce legacy munitions and use modern technology, like drones, and kits to make them more effective.
Technological superiority can be overcome with mass production, just look at WW2. The Soviets and US were able to overwhelm advanced German military tech.
We don't want to change the software because we can't change the software! Many of our systems were programmed in assembly language. Is.. There’s no operating system that would allow for easy updates. These things were developed decades ago and since they worked on unchallenged battlefields covered by corrupt/embedded journalists there was absolutely no reason the change anything. Hence, as of 2015, many weapon systems were using monochrome monitors that relied on operators to distinguish between countless grayscale levels!
No involvement, no trouble, no embarrassment😂😂😂
Well then there will be no money for someone's pockets... so there has to be
Is that so? Is that the issue with China's pretentious anonymity ? But seen active everywhere including military bases secret building. No wonder they have locked the stables shut. What an abs mess in playing up the world class policies
Isn't the intent about sneaking around and playing both sides
If the people are afraid of Chinese overcapacity production of household items and electric vehicles. These same people are going to have a heart attack when the Chinese go into overcapacity of military hardware.
I don't think they HAVE TO.
@@rogerstarkey5390 And they don't want to. Why waste all these resources on warships when you can build more houses for the masses. The PLA expansion is always reacting to US aggression, ever since the 80s.
You are the first American I ever heard who in my opinion do love own country, It matters when own country does horrible things but the fact remains its your country and no matter how little your actions may seem still is an action toward better future, weather the action comes to pass or not, Someone else will pick it up where you left and take it to yet another level, Good work,
Agree. Failure mode and Effects Analysis? Where is it and who signed off on the design?
Peer technical adaptation- is a failure mode that could easily have been anticipated. Military contractors and their military supervisors took the easy way out.
All about the big easy money.
“Just throw money at it”
I will sum it up...This is not an era of war but scientific cooperation towards becoming an advanced civilization.
This man speaks the truth.Why wouldn't a government that cares listen to patriots that are speaking the truth ?
At last, here comes someone brave enough to call a spade a spade.
Your videos are providing good value information and alternative point of view and news. Keep up the good work mate from uk 🇬🇧
quote from Donald Rumsfeld Ex Secretary of Defence “Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns-the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones.” 😂 And one of the known unknowns is ultimately China wants peace.🤔
The Pentagon can't be audited 😂😂😂
I just hope our leaders are listening so they can stop staring unwinnable wars.
ukraine does not use them because its like yelling :I'M HEERE!
