The United States just gave Ukraine permission to begin using US-provided weapons to strike military targets across Russia. This was previously restricted to just the area in and around Kharkiv but has been expanded to include anything involved with attacking Ukraine. This will lead to a significant shift in how the war is currently playing out.

The Soviet’s flew planes in the Korean War against the Americans. We haven’t reached that escalation yet
Vietnam too
Very different times tho.. 1 escalation rn can open up multiple theaters of war iran korea china russia africa whatever , just prepare yourself
@@InglouriousFrogs 🥱
Dont think the few under russian flag either.
@@danis8455 They did for a little bit. The 64th Fighter Aviation Corps flew air cover missions for Chinese and North Korean forces near the Yalu river as a Soviet Air Force unit, by direction of Stalin. About a year after they started, the unit was absorbed into the command of the PLAAF.
“Seizure-inducing” is the exact military humor that balances the atrocities of war that can give fighters some hope. It is exactly why I love this channel. No BS or sugar-coating in its reporting, but also an ability to keep this (military info) channel somewhat lighthearted.
Now the Russians have just upgraded to the FAB 9000. The issue here is the SU-35's can not carry them so they have to risk the TU-95s which are no longer in production to deliver them.

Only took two and a half years to realize you can’t fight wars by the bad guy’s rules
But hey, better late than never?
Still trying to follow those rules in Gaza
Not without become bad yourself
@looinrims
Sometimes it's necessary to move in incremental steps.
Especially against someone who's narcissistic psychopath.
All you have to do is watch Medvedev or Solovyov.
P.s I still thumb-up your comment.
The US always does the right thing, after we have tried everything else.
There is no rules in war. And this will just escalate things whenr Russians hit western basses outside EU or USA don't lose ur mind since it could happen...
Bout f-ing time
Seriously…
well, pretty much all other major weapon providers (half of europe) already gave Ukraine the green light to use provided weapons whererver and not bound to specific areas.
Russia : how dare they attack us when we attack them
Ukraine's gonna lose, and the west will be out on a 500 billion dollar Investment

Watching your program from Kharkiv. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
And Soviet, a.k.a. Russian, supplied weapons were used by North Vietnam when I served in South Vietnam with the U.S. Army fifty -some years ago.
Rules are only for us, the Russians can do what they want.
Soviet weapons were used in most conflicts since WWII by one side or another because they were prolific arms dealers like we were.
What was your MOS?
@@circusOFprecision What does that have to do with what he wrote? Russian involvement in Vietnam war is *very* well documented.
They even had Soviet pilots flying against US forces and aircraft.
Thanks for the update, keep safe.
The fact that we are here, two+ years later, and the Western allies are giving "approval" to strike a country Ukraine is at war with is....something not good.
I generally understand the reasons why, but it smacks so hard of restrictive ROEs during the Afghan/Iraq years, or how the US went back and forth over bombing restrictions in North Vietnam.
That Begs the question, did the west really even care about UKRAINE victor did they just want to beat down russia, you think the west will abandon Ukraine in the end!?
I'd say they care more about ukraine than they did Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam or Korea as they had tighter ROE in each of those conflicts than they do now in Ukraine. In Afghanistan by the end of the war they couldn't drop bombs anywhere within a grid of a building. That's what anywhere withing 1 to 2 km of a building even if your being shot at from said building. Iraq I believe is the same. Not to mention the perpetuated "no wmds" lie after over 1000 usa soldiers are suffering long term effects of exposure to these chemical weapons (which are classified as wmds) vietnam they couldn't bomb air bases because there might be russians there. Korea was the same.
@deemen7132 we have been supporting Ukraine for a decade.
@deemen7132 of course they care but they are being overly cautious because Russia has lots of nukes and might just be stupid enough to use them.
Russia was flying planes against the US in the Korean War. It’s a known secret.
Congratulation Preston! You do something very right to get an attention of russian trolls. Consider this is a badge of honor.
Weapons free 🚀
It's about TIME!!
That's why Russia is no longer holding back with their FAB3000. Did you see the leveling North of Kharkiv?
@@AndyFromBeaverton did you? read a little before you start writing stupid comments
The variant called FAB-3000 M54 weighs 3,067 kg including the warhead of 1,200 kg. Upon detonation on the ground, it creates a crater at least 15 meters deep. People get severe shellshock hundreds of meters away from ground zero. However, russian forces currently cannot use them because dropping such a bomb requires approaching the target and therefore entering hostile airspace controlled by air defense systems.
@@AndyFromBeaverton FAB3000 was used extensively in Mariupol. Therefore what you say is incorrect.
@@hussar843 Hey Patton, what was that leveling buildings in Lyptsi? Even Ukraine admits it was the FAB-3000.
@@currawong60911368 FAB-1500s were used in Mariupol.
Opening up the Kharkiv front resulted in this change in NATO policy that eliminates the safe areas inside of Russia. Getting North Korean help seems poised to get South Korea to begin providing military aid to Kyiv. Launching the full-scale invasion of Ukraine altered preferences in Finland and Sweden, causing the growth of NATO towards Russia. Using attacks against the civilian population of Ukraine to cow them into submission made them more determined to fight on and made it politically inconvenient in European capitals to oppose aiding Ukraine to get cheap oil/gas from Moscow.
Putin is basically Sideshow Bob stepping on a series of rakes.
Top notch analysis.
I will be referencing the Sideshow Bob-Rake effect from now on with respect to Putin's strategic blunders.
Can we please popularize the Sideshow Bob Theory of Russian Geopolitics?

LUL this comment makes me laugh
Are you fucking retarded Ukraine been doing it you orcs are stupid
Almost like it's designed to keep Ukraine from losing, but not enough to actually win...
@@WNOC says Ivan
Ukraine must lose, for the good people of the west to win in their own countries.
Ukraine flies the flag of the queer mob and the WEF.
The only problem with Jake Sullivan's comment is that this has been common sense for at least the last 2 years.
What took him so long to get some common sense?
It’s not just him,there was likely a lot of discussion with our allies about this move.
Since the war began,US Germany UK France Poland Italy ect had to agree with each other about how we’d go about doing this. Poland was the only hawkish state at the onset of the war. If we gave the green light to hit Russia with our shit two years ago,UK France Germany might have gotten uneasy and held off on support or worse criticized our decision and disavowed it for fear of retaliation from Putin.
State Department probably had to do overtime talking with their friendly counterparts to convince them this is a good idea and to support it.
NATO means we come to the defense of one another,but it’s less thought of mechanism is we also try to keep members from doing anything too rash or dangerous and in turn convincing them why it’s not. Lot of time gets lost there
@@oldworldpatriot8920
I understand that there have been reasons for the course of action that's been taken. That doesn't change the point about it being common sense to attack the things that are attacking you. It's far more efficient and successful to get those things before they are airborne or coming across the ground border.
Acting as a coalition does have some benefits but so does being a leader. I do admit that it's not black and white. A coalition that does nothing is useless but a leader that goes rogue and offends the rest of the coalition is also not completely helpful, especially in this case because it should be primarily a European concern.
@@jerseyshoredroneservices225 I see what you’re saying.
But yeah Europe is in for a very stressful few years
As always, i appreciate the hard work you put into these videos. Keep it up!
Excellent reporting and analysis, as always.
Finally! A real comment ❤❤❤
Russia: we are going to invade you, and strike anywhere in your country with weapons. But you can’t strike inside our country
Yeah sure thing pal 😂
I think you missed the main point here. Ukraine was using its drones to attack Russia, it wasn't a big problem for Russia. But now they are about to use Western supplied weapons to hit Russia. It can be described as an attack from the west or from NATO. The way NATO has its article-5, the same Russia has its own. If any NATO missile hits Russia it can be responded to by Nuclear weapons. Ukraine is just putting itself in danger. If the west really wanted to help Ukraine to win this war they could simply send their force or include Ukraine in NATO. Ukraine is used by the west as a bait to isolate Russia 😅
Putin wanted to make a regime change in Ukraine but Ukraine/West are not allowed to make a regime change in Russia according to Putin🤔
@@IkkeligegladWhen you say things like that, you make it obvious you've only been paying attention for the last 2 years. The CIA literally facilitated a coup against the elected government 9 years ago.
Imagine the Russians arming the drug cartels :)
The ridiculous part is that people listened. So from Russian POV it gave them military advantage to state that - and the joke wasn't on them.
Putin is saying "let me do whatever I want or else everyone pay for it"
The US is the same. And in that case we literally pay too. With the USD being the world's reserve currency, everyone is financing their deficit spending. And then they use that money to dominate economically, financially, and if everything else fails, militarily.

@@evananderson1455An American talking big about education. That’s cute.
Favorite TH-camr by far keep up the good work brother I really appreciate what you do❤
I appreciate your very clear, concise way of explaining these complex things.
Thank you.
I believe your initial figure of 3000kgs for the FAB-3000 bomb was correct. It is indeed a 3 metric ton bomb.
Ouch.
Their plane can only carry 1 FAB3000 bomb, where as they could carry 2 FAB1500. Also, the reliability of their gliding kit has not improved, so fab3000 is at higher risk of just falling down on Belgorod is increased.
3000kg bomb, but it contains less than 1500kg of explosive
@@ncs2000 Exactly. The explosives are just one part of the bomb. The body and the guidence and the fuse all take up weight too. Still it has the power 4x greater than the MOAB, and a kill radius of 300m. It's the 'close enough' bomb because its going to kill what it lands on anyway, even if its a little off. Don't forget, the fireball is just 1/5 of the kill radius when it comes to any bomb. The real damage is the shockwave that collaspes the lungs and causes the soldiers to die from asphixiation in the following minutes.
@@ncs2000That’s true for literally any bomb. A US Mk82 500 pound bomb doesn’t have 500pounds of explosive. It has roughly half that amount.
Well said big bad Preston as always
704k subs, just keeps climbing! Thanks Preston. I appreciate your work!
Scott's (abbreviated) description and video clip of Putin's trip to North Korea was hilarious gallows humor 😂

You are providing us with a tremendous service. Thank You.👍🏻
I wish more news agencies were like this.. Giving REAL news without fearmongering.
Didn’t Ukraine already started striking targets within Russia mainland before US allowed them to do it? What difference does it make now?
(With nato provided weapons)
There is a nuamce now... Watch the video again
With fabricated drones the size of small planes with probably the help of US intelligence
There is no difference. None of those "wonder weapons" or green lights are going to do anything.
@@sergejgrauberger6732 yeah no, being able to strike some hundred kilometers into russia wont change anything :D i dont think you understand military logistics
Hey, thanks, man. Always a true rock n rolla 🤙
This is good news, too
Outstanding.
It’s only fair. Russia gets to obliterate the Ukrainian homeland, why should Ukraine fight with an arm tied behind its back?
Ukraine has been fighting with all they have since day one. We cover Ukraine’s failures and our failures by pushing this narrative that we intentionally held them back. That doesn’t make any sense….because it’s not true. When they ran out of weapons the first time, then the second time, it was because Russia destroyed all of it and we simply couldn’t keep up with production. Ukraine has traded a significant number of lives in order to hold on while production caught up. What happens when the]is current round of equipment and ammunition is eaten up and the manpower situation becomes completely untenable? I only see two options, negotiations or WWIII. Either way Ukraine isn’t pushing Russia out and will be lucky to function as a viable state.
At last Ukraine has a way to stop those devastating glide bombs. That is a huge change in the war, all by itself.
Very informative
5:36 sure appears that glide bomb wanted to hit the building, but missed by more than 30 meters. Not as accurate as US munitions of comparable type.
Lol..... I thought I was the only one who noticed that.
It's also good to notice that European countries were first to grant Ukraine permission to hit targets in Russia weeks before the US did.
I think a part of it is that the US doesn't want to look like its escalating a war without Europe making the same commitment. if the US did it first there would be an argument that the US is making the war worse both back home and abroad.
@@dominuslogik484 You got a point there but it's very frustrating if Germany is waiting for the US to make that decision before they do. It feels strange that small counties like mine, the Netherlands, have to take the lead in this.
@@pjhgerlach After this war, European countries need a serious check on their collective defense structure.
@@pjhgerlach its because there is a lot of politics, power dynamics and other baggage that comes with these moves from the major powers of the NATO alliance. If Germany makes a bold move like that without showing restraint it looks really bad but when a small country breaks the stigma they can more easily handle the backlash and in the process green light the bigger partners to have an excuse to do the same thing.
Well… most of the EU has no nuclear arsenal.
I honestly want to understand how Ukraine benefits militarily from striking a city like Kazan or Moscow. How does this alter anything in the battlefield besides angering the Russian population even further and making more people join the army.
It more of a retaliation/symbolic thing like "you are not invulnerable" and more over they are not droping 3 ton bombs and leveling towns and cities like the Russians on daily bases cause that actually makes people join up
Kinda shattered the image that this is just a "special millitary operation." When things start going boom in Moscow. Plus, Russians have a habit of rebellion when reality finally kick in.
The tiny drone hitting the flag on the Kremlin - purely designed to let the average (hiding) Russian know that Ukraine is there. Stop saying you "don't get involved with politics" - everyone is involved. Man the f**k up
It benefits by disrupting Russian logistics and war waging capacity. Also, it brings the war home to Russians.
However, that strategy could result in pushing Russians, who were initially on the fence about supporting the war into the pro-war camp.
they are not hitting civilian targets like the russians are, but supply lines and storage facilities etc..
Awesome vid.
The world would be a better place if I can learn bee 🐝 keeping from Preston!

@@playedout148 I'm shidding and farding in my pants right now. How will Russia ever recover?!?!
I called this a few weeks ago. It happened a little faster than I thought it would, but it was inevitable.
That is SO WRONG, in a war. Every single thing is on the table to hit. Russia can do what the want but you can’t hit back. That’s what we did in RVN. Bad people were in Laos and Cambodia and can shoot us all day long but we could not shoot back so wrong.
maybe someone has some JDAMs for Ukraine?
The French have supplied the Ukrainians with their version of JDAM.
IIRC the US provided a few JDAM for ukraine as well, I think something Ukraine really needs to get is laser designating small drones for aiming glide bombs of their own.
@@dominuslogik484they have a few of those iirc
@@dominuslogik484 and we saw how that ended. The JDAMS that fell into Russian hands is what lead to the creation of the FAB 3000 glide bomb in the first place.

About time Europe lead in some way.

@@rincontibio7664 You are missing the point of situation, Russians does not need land that will come when Ukrainian army is destroyed what is RUssian goal, Btw giving Ukrainian offensive weapons to attack Russia give Russians leverage to do many things to Western basses across the world probably not in Nato countries. Just remember Russians are not that stupid as western collective menida trying to represent them.
@@cte4dota "Russia does not need land" then why they keep asking for it? There is nothing in the Russian rethoric that makes anyone think that, quite opposite, and I do agree they aren't dumb, at least they know using nukes would mean the end to themselves and that having a stalemate is their best outcome
Just as an editing note, the sound at towards the end of the video basically doubles in volume all of the sudden.
He can't look at it that way because he gets weapons from Iran and North Korea, which would make them targets for supplying weapons also.
Inflection.. someone has been doing their word of the day.
Russia can give all the threats it wants but the reality is that they cannot escalate anymore than they already have
They could escalate easily.
They didn't tie their hands
@@TenylegMinekez-uc7co they can escalate more than they have definitely, I think what the guy was trying to say is that Russia lacks the capabilities to Escalate beyond Ukraine without moving straight to nukes against nations that haven't directly attacked it.
for Example, Russia is completely incapable of invading the Baltics or Finland with its current army in both size and equipment it would basically be the collapse of their armed forces. the only options they have is to sling nukes.

The glide bombs have been a problem for quite a while. I remember Michael Clarke, security analyst on Sky News, talking about them months and months ago, probably last year even.

No one ever won a fight on the defensive…..
Finland did, they absolutely humbled the USSR in the winter war.
@@dominuslogik484 what? The Finns lost the war and all the land they intended to keep. They only won a propaganda victory due to high soviet losses.
@@ArmaDino22 HUGE losses. The Russians were forced to sue for peace. This was why Finland was able to keep their Sovereignity. One of the reasons this happened was because the failure of the League of Nations to back up Finland and Norway's Neutrality Doctrine.
@@bjornstahle4652 the Finns kept their sovereignty because the Soviets never intended to take the whole place to begin with. They even wanted to buy these lands and offered a swap deal as well. The Finns refused.
If they wanted to take Finland, they could have done so in 1944 when they were mauling the German army and it's allies.
They issued a similar ultimatum to Romania in 1940, and unlike the Finns, they surrendered the territory peacefully and kept their sovereignty.
So the whole "We kept our independence" is just Finish cope for a war they lost.
@@ArmaDino22 LOL Is that why Finland prospered as an economic powerhouse while the Soviet Union failed at even surviving? Take your hogwash elsewhere.

People being worried about WW3 does not understand that WW3 started a long, long time ago. Its just a matter of how long until weapons are flying, not if it will happen. If the US doesnt do anything, Europe will go for festung Europa (and to be honest, we are starting in that direction regardless, its just a question of speed).
A very important take people don’t get
What major or middle power is not involved in this war in some way? China is the reason Russian economy is alive, the Koreans are using the war as a proxy war against each other, Japan and Taiwan are anxiously watching the US conduct this war, India is doing its part to keep the Russian economy up, states all around are violating western sanctions against Russia by being illegal third party buyers
Everyone’s in this, one way or another
i think you are right. How many people at the start of WW1 or WW2 knew it was a WW. none. So I think we are in a WW3 it just isn't as destructive to all of Europe yet as the ww1 or ww2 were. Hopefully it will stay that way but there is always the risk of escalation with the final escalation of nuclear war being a possibility.
This isn't ww3. It's the follow on from the great game, war won't escalate because west aren't willing to fight it and Russia can't win and knows it.
honestly a fortress Europe policy from the EU/NATO is the ideal outcome for the US. it allows the US to focus more on the rising threat in southeast Asia and curtailing Chinese threats. should things kick off the US might be needed more there than it will be in Europe.
Japan and South Korea both are nothing to scoff at militarily but without US support they would be in no position to handle the heavily militarized Chinese and North Korean threats on their own. Australia can offer support in that region and to a degree the Philippines can be counted on for at the very least some operating bases and maybe a bit of infantry if things do go hot.
at least Navy wise and Air power wise as well Japan and South Korea can keep China in check long enough for more US assets to move into the area.
War is when weapons are flying, not a “long, long time before”.
One step closer to the end how swell 💥
Not only is a significant change about to occur on the battlefield, the battlefield itself may also change. And even the participants.
There's an awful lot of misconception in these comments. Ukraine has *always* been able to strike into Russia. They simply had to use their own production to do it.
Which has been (albeit very clever) super limited. Now they can flex - go Ukraine
you mean the nukes they used to have till we conned them to get rid of them? how about we replace those?
13:01 how does Putin say this is the end if he loses in Ukraine? What could be cooking in his brain or what does he know about the future of Russia if he loses in Ukraine? EDIT: thank you all for giving me insight on the things I am not knowledgeable on and great theories to ponder on.
More likely he's talking about himself but such a huge military loss might actually destabilise the whole country at this point so it's not exactly false

@@Firstnameslastnames of course not. Only america decides who and when because of what gets vaporized

Future tells. I see a losing Ukraine.
This is exactly what NATO wanted Putin to do. They wanted the fight to move closer to Kharkiv. But I do agree that Ukraine SHOULD be allowed to use any weapon system inside Russia. Every NATO country operates inside the offending nation, so why can't Ukraine?
I worry for Russia
"This is exactly what NATO wanted Putin to do. They wanted the fight to move closer to Kharkiv." What???
You should be worried.
This makes Rostov On Don a target. Not only is it the central supply point for Crimea, it allows Russia to operate in the Caucasus region. And that would be a strategic problem for Putin.

The White House clown shown continues, the biggest issue is Ukraine’s lack of manpower, they are losing a generation of men due to our government’s eastward march since the early 90s…a tragedy
Okay Ivan.
Russia has also given itself the GO-AHEAD with regard to Ukraine. Would you like to discuss it?
The T62 had a different caliber gun (115mm I think) than the T72/80/90. Perhaps the 115 rounds are scarce? Is that why they dont even leave an option to use the gun and this is only useful as a motor carriage?
7:49 as a Russian, this is just so typical of the Russian goverment not to care about their very own people.
I enjoy watching Putin sweat.
It's disturbing. Yuck.
Its fascinating to me that Putin doesn't seem to comprehend his stating that being expelled from Ukraine would destroy Russia can be interpreted as Russia being sich a fragile state that losing a war without losing territory would destroy it.
So does that green light strikes on Germany, France, Romania, US. Should be goof to watch.

Imperial: Twips, points, lines, picas, digits, fingers, inches, poppyseeds, sticks, hands, feet, yards, shaftments, links, cubits, palms, spans, nails, grades, ropes, furlongs, miles, shackles, cables, leagues, spindles, fathoms, paces, et al.
IT'S RIDICULOUS.
US Military uses metric system for distance since WWI, and Preston is an Army vet.
@@carritohmcObviously the military uses it because it's superior. Makes one wonder why the rest of the US doesn't...
US military has been using Metric for most things for a while now, really we only still measure our bombs by pounds rather than Kilograms because we don't want to upend our manufacturing to change some measurements.
It's not new for military. Do some research, mate
Do they toss these munitions just like bk in the day... Release it as they gain altitude so it flies further...
Wow, Jake, what finally made you realize this?
He usually analyzes situations b4 discussing rather than being worried about being "first."
Nice! And LONG overdue. Russian American here.
Слава Україні!

It means that one arm that was tied behind Ukraine's back while fighting has been cut loose if they take the whole restriction off
when you don't authorize them from the start and then come out and do so later is a more dangerous game than if it was already authorization from the beginning
Welcome to WW3.🤦🏻♂️

Ukraine didn't withdraw from Avdeevka. They were routed because they refused to withdraw .
Sources?

they did withdraw but sure call it a rout, like how Russia was routed from Kharkiv in 2022 and routed from hostomel and all the land between Kiev and Belarus
I don't support either country in this conflict but what's stopping Russia from attacking Germany if they are authorizing Taurus missiles to hit their homeland, is Russia not allowed to Target German factories with their hypersonic missiles?
Is Belarus not a war target for Ukraine then?
These glide bombs are not difficult targets. They are not stealthy. They are relatively slow. Even air defense artillery can down them. The problem is they are inexpensive and very numerous.
