I'm confused I'm certain the UK said Ukraine are free to use the Storm Shadows as they see fit in order to defend themselves. I thought it was just France, US and Germany causing issues?
During WW2 the UK lend lease agreement with the USA did not put any restrictions on the use of any weapons/equipment. Also if Ukraine is lent money and buys what it needs it is their choice how to use what they buy. These "restrictions" seem a little odd, unless other considerations are in play.
These sorts of weapons are purely offensive -- particularly if used deep into Russian territory. The hypocrisy of the west and its media is astonishing.
@willc1294 I would trust the Germans over the yanks any day of the week. Germans are great people. Government not so much. Still not as bad as the yank or Labour government's.
Oh grow up, there's many strategic approaches to this conflict. If you just see it from the Ukranian view of success in every micro fight then keep up the 'bravery' talk nonsense. Another strategic view is that it is true that Ukraine won't win back every square meter (barring some unseen collapse of Russia) - that rarely happens in war anyhow. At this point since they failed in the Spring counteroffensive, is to simply beat Russia into a negotiated agreement. In that case the West keeping a relatively moderated approach has an advantage.
Storm Shadow are not in the military sphere regarded as long-range weapons. At only 250 miles range compared to 2000 km - 3000 km are considered short-range. They are the ' longest range ' weapons that the west has supplied to Ukraine.
Storm Shadow / SCALP is the air-launched long range, conventionally armed, deep strike weapon, designed to meet the demanding requirements of pre-planned attacks against high value fixed or stationary targets." Excerpt from MBDA the manufacturer of the weapon. It IS considered a long range weapon. With a stated range of 'in excess of 250km' So half right
Ukraine is fighting for its own survival and Russia is definitely gonna learn in the hard way because Ukrainians are warriors and they don't joke when it comes to fighting an enemy. You can as well comfirm these fact from their boxing champ. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
I'd say this is nothing more than a short term state of affairs. Ukraine will soon be back to square one, if not now then certainly once the US back off in November.
Too many UK military commanders base their analysis on Biggles books, with daring raids etc ( that never actually work) rather than the real grinding down of armies by attrition which is what Russia is doing. The Ukrainians have yet again wasted some of their best troops on a PR exercise, they will be sadly decimated over the next couple of weeks, whilst Russia continues with the grinding down in Donbass. This war should and could have been easily avoided, just by Ukraine remaining neutral, and not bowing to US pressure to join NATO and allow the US to move it's missiles closer to Moscow.

Possibly the dumbest discussion ever broadcast led by the host concerning augmenting the military with people who have no loyalty to or identification with your society just because they are under or unemployed but once served in a subordinate, sort of allied force.
Spoken like a true warrior. Lots of allied Afghans fought for us and our soldiers. Saving some of OUR servicemen and womens lives. I can guarantee that's more loyalty to our country, and ideals than anything you've ever done.
I don't think that's why they're restricting the use of LR weapons, but yes, that is definitely something they're worried about and trying to triangulate.
If Russia or Putin feels under threat it increases the liklihood of nuclear war, and yet propaganda media like Times Radio tell us we should worry about natural climate change while escalating a proxy war with a nuclear superpower!
What evidence do we have: firstly, that Russia will collapse if defeated in Ukraine; secondly, that such collapse would be chaotic? The USSR "collapsed" and the outcome was not "chaos". It would be ironic is this becomes a Russian disinformation talking point. Be fearful of defeating us, because the result would be dangerous chaos.
We shouldn’t allow our weapons to be used to be fired deep into Russian territory. Defending is one thing but attacking is another. Ukraine could end up dragging more countries into this war, which cannot be beneficial to anyone except perhaps Ukraine themselves. I don’t trust our British government at present to make decisions beneficial to us. Starmer is not deciding to cut back on the budget for the armed forces after saying he was going to increase it.
I don't know about the US building a wall along the border with Mexico. We in Europe should build a wall along the border with Russia, from Finland down to Ukraine.
Dear yt, what words did you find offensive in my comment that made you cancell it: Dear Brits, please have some nerve and give permission to Ukrainians to use your weapons/ammo the way they need to defend their country and people? Why YT discriminate against me. Please let me know.
The Army's recruitment service is absolutely horrendous! I tried to rejoin in a limited role and failed on medical grounds (very minor) even though I was still eligible to join without it! As he says, it seems that the system is designed to prevent people to join up! The Army spent millions on training me alone and it's all gone to waste.
It is indeed cowardly that the British and US governments continue to restrict Ukraine's use of the supplied weapons . Not just cowardly, but shameful.
What if surrendering Russian troops were the occupiers of the freed Russian territories? Not necessarily a great idea, I know, but it would be a political disaster for Putin. Is Radio Free Europe still a thing? If not, maybe bringing it back to beam the message of the truth of the war might help find a better resolution.
Russia can never claim back all territory, it makes Putin appear weak. He should end this madness and stop acting by Iran's and North Koreas best interest. Russia is only a regional power with not much power left due to the laughable actions it has taken the last 10 years in Ukraine.
Typical propaganda as usual you mean, they never have any other point of view but the politically correct one, they'll probably still say Russia is losing when Putin is sitting in Kyiv.
Brilliant and well produced interview with Col Richard Kemp. 100% agree that the UK and the US now need to take ALL restrictions OFF the use of the weapons we have supplied!!! I was horrified to hear of the bureaucracy holding back UK recruiting. I lived in So California and the US have recruiting offices in every town and the staff ALL wear their uniforms when out walking, great if we could adopt something along these successful lines!!! (another short-sighted Tory cutback like the NHS)
I spent 18 years in the military. Best time of my life. I miss it so much. I always had accommodation, food, money, transport, friends, and a brilliant social life. I’d recommend anybody you know join the military.
Yeah, sounds fun, going to die in some ditch in another country for elites profits while your own country doesnt even protect its own borders and get called far right for being a patriot, I cant understand why recruitment is falling...
Yeah of course. That's why you follow the government blindly coz they are providing you with everything. I know it to be a well known fact. It is also a common knowledge that once it is taken away, a military man can't adjust to civilian life( paying bills, finding a job, you know those normal things) Anyway, why would anybody fight for government that hates you anyway??
The West should be embarrassed with their policy of appeasement since the war started. If they had helped Ukraine properly from the start, they'd be in a better position. This drip-drip help has hindered the brave Ukranian forces. Gonna do something properly or don't do it at all.
You dont seem to understand what is going on, this is swapping Ukraianian mens lives for elites profits, thats why they wont allow peace talks with Russia, why the US blew up the Nordstream pipeline, why Zelensky wont allow elections.
whoever writes these inflammatory titles clearly has no care for our safety, imagine being putin and reading that. It's like your daddy invested so much into that bunker your lobbing war for bants.
Nothing and I mean nothing that this channel has predicted has ever come to be. Still at the propaganda though hey. What you using the theory say it enough and people will believe? What a joke 😂
Richard Kemp says that the outsourced recruitment process saved money but did not get the recruits: in other words, its failure meant no money was actually "saved". Rather than subcontract to Capita (yes, them again), it would have been far better to have spent the money and actually got some recruits. Politicians should stop pretending that outsourcing works and admit it more often results in poor outcomes. Indeed, some organisations have been reported in Private Eye as cancelling contracts and bringing the services back in-house due to non-delivery of service.
What is the drivel the presenter is spouting off about the Afghanistan soldiers. Ask British soldiers what it is like to serve with Afghan soldiers. Sure there will be some good ones but they were often lazy, badly organised - look how fast their country fell. On top of that, there are massive cultural differences, some which would not be savoury to the western world.
Not helped by Trump's deal, not negotiated with the Afghan government, to release 5000 Taliban fighters, which included the US troop withdrawal date, which due to the date was blamed on Biden.
@@DS9TREK It's unlikely even the elite of Afghan SF would be capable enough to join the British army. We paid them to do a job, that's what we owed them.
Todays society is different to say 30 years ago. Nowadays the younger generation are work shy, and need to protect their mental health in their safe spaces while waving the rainbow flag. They get more money on civvy street claiming benefits.
My elder son spent 6 years in TA/7th Scots and six years in the Royal Navy (mine sweepers operating out of Faslane). He was able to save more money while in the forces, than he might have done in civvy street. Since leaving he's been able to transfer the small-unit disciplines and man-management skills to work outside the forces. Dealing with higher ranks within the forces, is also helpful when dealing with civvy managers. There's a lot the forces can sell themselves on. The all-found aspect of the forces suits some. The more the forces can give its recruits transferable skills and knowledge, the better. As a matter of personal opinion, I'm in favour of giving Ukraine all the military and civilian support needed to 'defeat' Putin's Russia on the battle field. Always remembering that the important matter is the day after the war ends, when we begin the work of engaging those who the day before were enemies.

Putin took Russia out of the catastrophe of the 1990s he has built up enough political trust
@@gherkamum wrong he did not start it go back to 2014, and before that not moving 1" to the east after Berlin wall came down
But no
putins downfall by ukraine? Still delusional nonsense... 😂😂😂😂
I don't know about the US building a wall along the border with Mexico.
We in Europe should build a wall along the border with Russia, from Finland down to Ukraine.
Foolish idea.
For an expert view on this and other military matters, let's turn to an Action Man who oversaw one of our worst defeats in recent memory.
8000 more miles to go 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please, look at Russia's map 🤓🤓🤓🤓
Peace and love ❤ ✌️
Dear yt, what words did you find offensive in my comment that made you cancell it: Dear Brits, please have some nerve and give permission to Ukrainians to use your weapons/ammo the way they need to defend their country and people? Why YT discriminate against me. Please let me know.
Trumpian wimps in charge of YT mediation.
@@divumque I've had non offensive comments removed from this video as well. It might be the times themselves removing comments
Highly successful she says. Where do they find these people?
The Army's recruitment service is absolutely horrendous! I tried to rejoin in a limited role and failed on medical grounds (very minor) even though I was still eligible to join without it! As he says, it seems that the system is designed to prevent people to join up!
The Army spent millions on training me alone and it's all gone to waste.
Which country's army?
The Ukrainian army almost certainly can use you for something.
@@torehaaland6921...yes...Cannon fodder.
@@ABa-os6wm hmm the "to join up" makes me wonder
@@torehaaland6921 "fodder" and "cannon" come to mind
It is indeed cowardly that the British and US governments continue to restrict Ukraine's use of the supplied weapons
. Not just cowardly, but shameful.
It is to avoid this war escalating into one against NATO.
What if surrendering Russian troops were the occupiers of the freed Russian territories? Not necessarily a great idea, I know, but it would be a political disaster for Putin. Is Radio Free Europe still a thing? If not, maybe bringing it back to beam the message of the truth of the war might help find a better resolution.
Britain needs to stay out of Russia and Ukraine war and concentrate on our own country
CHURCHILL SAID THE RUSSIANS WILL INVITE THEMSELVES TO DINNER HOW RIGHT HE WAS eh!
Ukraine should offer those Afghan Soldiers a deal.
Yeah cause those Afghan soldiers did so well fighting the Taliban didnt they...
Oh wait, they all got high and then ran away.
Thank you for your coverage
🇪🇺🇺🇦🏴🇺🇦🏴🇺🇦🇬🇧
No thank Ukraine for fighting for Joe Biden's profits.
What coverage its all lies this whole Ukraine war is a lie Ukraine are being destroyed
Stop BS
Russia can never claim back all territory, it makes Putin appear weak. He should end this madness and stop acting by Iran's and North Koreas best interest. Russia is only a regional power with not much power left due to the laughable actions it has taken the last 10 years in Ukraine.
Rule number 1: Don't poke the bear
Rule number 2: Never forget rule number 1
Ukraine was dropping JDAMs earlier on Russians in Russia. I saw the vid
With headlines like that, it's almost as if you are asking for Nuclear War.
in for a penny, in for a pound.
Great commentary as usual
Typical propaganda as usual you mean, they never have any other point of view but the politically correct one, they'll probably still say Russia is losing when Putin is sitting in Kyiv.
I'm not surprised they found it so easy, or easier than they'd imagined
Remember how close to Moscow Prigozhin got before he decided to stop?
Brilliant and well produced interview with Col Richard Kemp. 100% agree that the UK and the US now need to take ALL restrictions OFF the use of the weapons we have supplied!!!
I was horrified to hear of the bureaucracy holding back UK recruiting.
I lived in So California and the US have recruiting offices in every town and the staff ALL wear their uniforms when out walking, great if we could adopt something along these successful lines!!! (another short-sighted Tory cutback like the NHS)
@@brianingarfill1773 Labour in power now, soldiers need to go through extra unconscious bias and gender diversity training first.
Feel free to go fight your war…..don’t come back….
@@mcihs2 he wont go, he is a work from home laptop luvvie that wants those he disagrees with silenced and others to fight for him
I spent 18 years in the military. Best time of my life. I miss it so much. I always had accommodation, food, money, transport, friends, and a brilliant social life. I’d recommend anybody you know join the military.
Yeah, sounds fun, going to die in some ditch in another country for elites profits while your own country doesnt even protect its own borders and get called far right for being a patriot, I cant understand why recruitment is falling...
Yeah of course. That's why you follow the government blindly coz they are providing you with everything. I know it to be a well known fact. It is also a common knowledge that once it is taken away, a military man can't adjust to civilian life( paying bills, finding a job, you know those normal things) Anyway, why would anybody fight for government that hates you anyway??
But not the Killing ?
Sounds a bit like prison.
But they wont get access to them…
Zelinski for president of Russia in 2025🎉
We need to put pressure on our politicians to stop being so cowardly and lift restrictions.
''Take this weapons to defend yourselves....but don't shoot at the enemy. Makes sence...if you are a hippie or 5 years old.
Correction, if you are a hippie AND five years old.
Retention is a problem that has been exacerbated by outsourcing the maintenance of military housing to a private company that has failed to deliver.
The West should be embarrassed with their policy of appeasement since the war started. If they had helped Ukraine properly from the start, they'd be in a better position. This drip-drip help has hindered the brave Ukranian forces. Gonna do something properly or don't do it at all.
You'd be spitting out nuclear ash if the US had gone full proxy early in the SMO....
You dont seem to understand what is going on, this is swapping Ukraianian mens lives for elites profits, thats why they wont allow peace talks with Russia, why the US blew up the Nordstream pipeline, why Zelensky wont allow elections.
Typical Bottle Dropping West 😡
😂😂😂😂 Silly establishment stenographers 😂😂😂😂
Waffle interview
So it’s cowardly not to attack Russian air bases where the nuclear weapons are kept this is insanity but that doesn’t seem to bother your guest
whoever writes these inflammatory titles clearly has no care for our safety, imagine being putin and reading that. It's like your daddy invested so much into that bunker your lobbing war for bants.
I highly doubt Putin watches Times Radio. And even if he did, so what? Are you seriously afraid of that poisonous dwarf in the Kremlin?
Exactly right, and so many ignorant NPC's cheering on escalation with a nuclear superpower over a corrupt country nothing to do with us.
Putin live rent free in fantasy world the Western media 😂😂😂
Nothing and I mean nothing that this channel has predicted has ever come to be. Still at the propaganda though hey. What you using the theory say it enough and people will believe? What a joke 😂
Russia is strong he can’t win Russia
More nonsense putins going nowhere
Don't call it successful until you got out there alive.
Who comes up with this, Cmon you really believe Ukraine can beat Russia in a fight. Dillusional
Keep on dreaming 😂 Ukraine is Rusdia and always was! I was born in Ukraine and I am for Russia ❤
Pity Starmer is wet behind the ears
Ukraine has zero to do with the UK. It's non of our business.
It is The Russian people that has to end this... One way...or another...
Starmer does not need to accelerate the process of Putin's collapse. Let him bring it upon himself.
Forkwhit. What did the Tories do since 2014 to stop Putler.
We were busy in Afghanistan and Syria and Libya and helping the Saudis in Yemen, I know we love war, but we have limited ability to fight these days…
Richard Kemp says that the outsourced recruitment process saved money but did not get the recruits: in other words, its failure meant no money was actually "saved". Rather than subcontract to Capita (yes, them again), it would have been far better to have spent the money and actually got some recruits. Politicians should stop pretending that outsourcing works and admit it more often results in poor outcomes. Indeed, some organisations have been reported in Private Eye as cancelling contracts and bringing the services back in-house due to non-delivery of service.
What is the drivel the presenter is spouting off about the Afghanistan soldiers.
Ask British soldiers what it is like to serve with Afghan soldiers. Sure there will be some good ones but they were often lazy, badly organised - look how fast their country fell. On top of that, there are massive cultural differences, some which would not be savoury to the western world.
This refers specifically to ex Afghan special forces, not the illiterate hillbillies.
Come on she's an ex para😂
Not helped by Trump's deal, not negotiated with the Afghan government, to release 5000 Taliban fighters, which included the US troop withdrawal date, which due to the date was blamed on Biden.
The elite Afghan troops were highly capable. We're not talking about regular forces here
@@DS9TREK It's unlikely even the elite of Afghan SF would be capable enough to join the British army. We paid them to do a job, that's what we owed them.
It's disgraceful to give Ukraine the weapons, but then we dictate how they're used.
Todays society is different to say 30 years ago. Nowadays the younger generation are work shy, and need to protect their mental health in their safe spaces while waving the rainbow flag. They get more money on civvy street claiming benefits.
Dream on times radio ffs
My elder son spent 6 years in TA/7th Scots and six years in the Royal Navy (mine sweepers operating out of Faslane). He was able to save more money while in the forces, than he might have done in civvy street. Since leaving he's been able to transfer the small-unit disciplines and man-management skills to work outside the forces. Dealing with higher ranks within the forces, is also helpful when dealing with civvy managers. There's a lot the forces can sell themselves on. The all-found aspect of the forces suits some. The more the forces can give its recruits transferable skills and knowledge, the better.
As a matter of personal opinion, I'm in favour of giving Ukraine all the military and civilian support needed to 'defeat' Putin's Russia on the battle field. Always remembering that the important matter is the day after the war ends, when we begin the work of engaging those who the day before were enemies.
ah yes, send your son 🚑🚑
Russia will never be the friend of the West..He is looking to china and the BRICS countries. You only have to look at the UK over the last few weeks to know we are finished
Can you explain why someone should join the army, to potentially go die in a ditch in Ukraine, when we're not even defending our own borders, hundreds of unknown men flooding in every day?
@@marcchanony6832 I take it you intend to disrupt useful discussion (of the UK armed forces, and what support Ukraine needs to defeat Russia) . Can you tell me why you choose to do that.
