- A Russian victory over Ukraine will become more likely unless Nato and Kyiv can outlearn Moscow, warns a retired Australian Army major general.
It is feared that Moscow is now "outlearning" Kyiv and Nato, while Ukraine is suffering from shortages of soldiers and ammunition.
Major General Mick Ryan, who served in the Australian army for 35 years, explained how Russia's advantages in terms of industrial mobilisation, drone technology and electronic warfare could lead to a victory for Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Aye its a bit different from fighting farmers in flip flops for 20 years isn't it.
Goat herders without Radar
Or even Serbians. They managed to shoot modern stealth bomber with ancient S-75, imagine S-300 family and even newer ones
They flexed a lot during the fight against farmers on how strong they are and advance their weaponries are. Then after 20 years they ran in the cover of darkness, achieving relatively nothing compared to what they invested. Did the really think Russia is the same as Afghanistan?
@ardinhajihil5011 this isn't a guerilla war. that's the difference. this is all out war. Civilians are captured and sometimes killed. Guerilla wars, you have to occupy cities where the enemy always has the first move on you
20 years? Try 30.
The main issue is that the West builds all combat doctrine on air superiority. Clearing a minefield is easier when the enemy positions can't respond because they have been bombed for weeks and their ability to observe, orient and react has been destroyed or degraded from the air. Without the tools in the air, Ukraine is left to fight a war in a way the west would not fight a war.
That’s it exactly. Air superiority is key in any war
@@Andyb2379 False.
Ukraine is getting F-16s, but it won't be enough to gain air superiority. In fact, 8t might not even be possible to gain air superiority in this day and age.
@@stsk1061even if they get f-16s, it’s only gonna be about 30 at least. Meanwhile Russia can just produce more jets, it’s always been about quantity when fighting a conventional war.

And having over half a million dead when fighting a nation a tenth their size. Yeah russia is pretty trash, but lucky for putin russians are also stupid and willing to simply overwhelm defenses with their bodies and lives.
Your delusions are your problem

“There is still the prospect that Russia could win”, understatement of the century.
They're delusional The West has no compression of what Russia is
Overstatement of the century.
Russias time to take over Ukraine was 2 years ago with element of surprise and taking over western Ukraine where all vital supplies are getting to Ukraine.
It was much easier to get western Ukraine than Kyev and war would be over by now because Ukraine would capitulate without supplies but thanks to stupidity and ignorance of russia they made run for capital.

Because room clearing, door to door training wont be much of a help in an open field and forest terrain.
Also room clearing in a real battlefield situation is risky at best. And should only be done when absolutely necessary. Any soldier can rig traps, waiting for someone to "room clear"
NATO should teach them on how to face and defeat FAB

They never said that at all. They said things are different because of new technologies such as drone warfare. Either way Both sides can learn from eachother. Forces news made a video a few weeks ago where they did a trench warfare and they said we are watching the ukrainians closely becuase they have more experience then us in modern day trench warfare. Training excersizes being offered are about give and take learning. Ukrainians may learn something from the british or allies that might give them a tacticle edge. while at the same time their knowledge of combatting russia is passed on to their allies so they can adapt their doctrines to the new intelligence on how russia is operating.
You clearly dont understand how training works
@@ashleygoggs5679
sory to disapoint you but yes, the ukranians HAVE said that. The video i watched was about ukrainians trained in germany and when the ukrainians asked what should they do with the mine fields cos lack equipment to clear them, they have said the germans ware training them to go around them ...

It's still propaganda because they end with "if this doesn't happen, defeat is still a possibility." The way things are, Ukrainian defeat is a near certainty!
. Mmmm, barely. Its fear mongering so military industries can profit
Pretty much all media has been saying this for the since autumn 2022. What propaganda are you reffering to?
NATO doesn't know exactly how to fight this type of warfare. They have never had to actually fully mobilize and manufacture equipment, vehicles, weapons, food etc... it would take them years to gear up to that level
Maybe Putin need to test nato , USA is 20 time over that level
USA got bombs and plane that no one else has so far to no mention nukes and sub
Exacatly. NATO/US have only fought subpar military since WWII. North Koreas, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and now Yemen. If they actually thought they could defeat Russia, they would have already entered into Ukraine with dozens of F-35's and F-22's.

Speaking to Ukraine's Rada TV on Friday, Kalmykova said that "unfortunately, we see a lot of situations... when people don't want and plan to avoid mobilization somehow, the need to defend their country." She claimed that the number of draft dodgers amounts to "tens, hundreds of thousands of people."
Speaking to Ukrainskaya Pravda last week, Interior Minister Igor Klimenko warned that the Ukrainian government is looking at ways to punish those who have fled the country to avoid military service. He told the newspaper that they will likely face administrative fines, adding, however, that those who have used fake papers or illegally secured documents to allow them to leave Ukraine could end up in prison."

"without affecting the general economy" the GDP is rising due to additional spending on military stuff that just goes BOOM. No economy can survive if a large % of it's output is just blown up eventually. The Russioan people need fridges and stuff, not tanks and bombs.

@@JohnnyMotel99откуда ты знаешь что нужно русским? Ты лично говорил или тебе сказали писать тут?
@@prozrel_ ???
Russia's economy faces significant long term issues, foremost inflation requiring double digit interest rates, and labour shortages. Producing huge amounts of weaponry makes your GDP numbers look good, and for those employed in military enterprises, it's a boon. However such a course is not without pitfalls. For one the weapons industries soak up huge amounts of investment, while the productive economy, which produces things that people want and need to live an enjoyable and productive life, is starved for investment and has to compete for scarce labour. All this drives up prices further. Basically Russia can only keep this up for a year or two at most. And they know it too, as their budgets call for military spending to be dramatically reduced in 2025 and 2026.

The fact is that Russia has a very large and fully in their control Military Industrial Complex (MIC). Whatever Ukraine has is tiny in comparison and only partially under their control. That means that any improvements or upgrades to weapons/equipment/ammo needed for Russia after battlefield experiences, is immediately presented to their MIC who get onto it right away. Ukraine does not have this, and even telling western MIC's what is needed will largely fall on deaf ears. That means that going forward, Russian stuff will get better and better whiles Ukraines will stay largely the same. As an example, this would be like Ukraine fighting the air battles in WWII in 1945 with the same Spitfires that fought the Battle of Britain in 1940. While Russia will have the roughly 4-5 times upgraded Spitfires of 1945.
no sane person in the west would think that Ukraine will win outright against Russia, the plan will be to kept Russia busy while Germany and Europe rearm.
no nation in history could do that with just handouts, even Finland - who got only very limited support from Sweden during the winter war only could delay the loss of land for some time.
Both Ukraine and Russia are losers, in the end Ukraine will fare better because it has the financial might of the west behind it in peace time
The only winner is NATO
The problem is who’s going to pay for modern tanks? NATO countries are struggling to fund their own military nevermind bailout Ukraine as well.
@@notmenotme614 Yeah, NATO tanks tend to be quite expensive. One Challenger 2 will buy you two T90s, or three T80s, or four T72s. UK has only produced 449 of them. That is rubbish. The west has completely lost Guderian's original concept of the perfect tank. Good gun, good armour and good mobility. It doesn't need to have the best gun, nor the best armour, nor the best mobility. But a nice balance of all three. In WWII, the Soviet T34 probably came the closest to that ideal. They also have to be reasonably inexpensive, easy to repair and maintain, upgradable, good fuel efficiency, good range. Again, don't have to be the best in any category. A nice balance of all of them.
Lol ruSSia wishes they had this level of efficiency. They can barely keep up with losses forget about major updates (but feel free to give any example).
@@maryanchabursky9148 They are producing at least three tanks a day. That is more than the entirety of NATO plus Ukraine combined. And the current T90 is an upgraded version to the one they started the war with. You wanted an example, you got one.

While NATO does prepare with air superiority in mind, They have been studying what is happening in Ukraine for 2 years now, and Im pretty sure they know what to do, even without being there physically.

The West has foolishly interpreted its victories over non-industrial countries into a doctrine. Against Russia, the tricks and techniques of smart weaponry are not only equalled but outmatched through electronic warfare techniques that disable and spoof the GPS-reliant weaponry of the West. Even claims of an air-superiority led approach are not guaranteed success, as not only does Russia have very impressive battle-field air defence networks, the large geographic spread of Ukrainian territory dilutes the effectiveness and reach (typically Western single-engined fighter aircraft have shorter ranges) of an air campaign combined with the vulnerability of airfields to missile-based attacks.
At end, this is an industrial war much like WW2, the side that runs out of material (and labour) resources to fight is the side that loses, much like Germany ran out of these resource inputs to drive its war industry.
Russia also has GPS reliant tech. Like the Chinese, their Satellites are Independent of the West so they are more in control than Ukraine that constantly has to beg.

The Ukrainian General already have the tactics, they are experienced on this war, and would be more knowledgeable than any doctrine, the problem for Ukraine is time , man power and material, they cannot self sufficiency support this. Russia in the end will win, and no amount of doctrine or training can stop that.
The West with the exception of America greatly reduced their Military budgets and personnel after the Cold War. NATO member states are now American vassals
Yes, quantity itself is a quality on its own.
Some one in USA figured out that sending more aid does not help
It's not a question of training, it's a question of superiority of means and, above all, of men.
Zelesnky is already desperately looking for 500 thousand new soldiers to send to the front line. Where did the 800 thousand soldiers that he had at the beginning of the war go? Zelensky is also constantly begging for new aid from the West. Waging war while relying on other people's resources has never been a good idea.
Ukraine’s economy is about 1/7th the size of Russia’s, and her population is about 1/3 the size. She _has_ to rely on foreign aid. It’s difficult to fight a war without ammunition.
Personally, I’m inclined to give them that help. I’d like to keep Russian artillery and missiles well away from my borders, wouldn’t you?
@@davidblair9877how do you keep them away by being their enemy 😅. Wouldn't it be easier to have good relations with world powers? This way we could avoid human losses
Yes. Wars are expensive. Nothing new here. There hasn't been a war like this in a long time. It's very unique.
"Waging war while relying on other people's resources has never been a good idea"
Have you heard of the Holy Roman Empire? They were tiny German city-states. Alone they were no match for outside invaders, but together they were a formidable force. Ukraine is small and their war started when they got their real independence, but together we are strong.
They have yet to conscript U27. Almost like they are saving that group for when russia has their 40-50 year olds conscripted when they get the go on the decisive operation.

Ukraine won't win, and I can tell you why
The facts are that they were given $200 billion and they've only had one success in 2022 when they took back the area's around Kharkiv and Kherson. Since that time they lost Bakhmut and failed their counter offensive in 2023. And in 2024 they lost another city, Avdiidvka. So it doesn't matter how much money or arms we give them, they can't stop Russia.
@TheRealBillBob According to the Pentagon Russia has spent 211 billion too. So on a spending level, expecting absolute victory for Ukraine is just out of proportion... The fact is, that the West's combined economic power is far greater than Russia's. It should be winnable.
Also, it is wrong to call Ukraine unsuccessful. They have been fighting an uphill battle against a far bigger enemy who wields supposedly the world's second most capable army. And they are holding on, inflicting terrible casualties and have recaptured half of the territory Russia took since the start.

Modern warfare without nukes/mass aircraft deployment takes years and a lot if that is the time it takes to build up a stockpile to attempt the great breakthrough. 50,000 tanks takes a long time to build. 5,000 aircraft take a long time to manufacture.

You wouldn't use a RPG to take out a random soldier.
Heavy weapons for heavy weapons TANKS, HEAVY ARMOURED VEHICLES ect.
Light for light infantry.
Heavy weapons and artillery for their use.
Ukraine needs to ramp up ammo/Shell production massively.
And learn how to make ammo last ages.
It was claimed Ukraine Is using more ammo than the west can provide.
where are the Abrams?
.....still ongoing training. And waiting for summer season, hate that they wil stock at mud ....
How can there be shortages of men if zelensky says they've only lost 30,000 men
Ukraine has more battle experience than all NATO combined, so, it's ukranians who should teach NATO
Ukranians are asking for ammo not useless nato training... 😂😂😂
Nato doctrines retreated from Afghanistan 🤣🤣🤣

Fundamentally Russia can regenerate it's forces with 10k recruits a month and significantly higher production on top of vastly larger stockpiles of simple ammunition than the West. This allows Russia to do rotations and training allowing Russia to apply continuous pressure.
Compare this to Ukraine. Their two main weaknesses currently is lack of manpower especially in infantry and munitions. Manpower wise the initial surge of volunteers are dead, disabled or exhausted from lack of meaningful rotations. This is resulting in very low manning in frontline units with 25% being mentioned in some articles. Ukraine isn't moving at all fast to fix this. A revised conscription bill failed a month ago and despite this being a known problem for months nothing has been done. What has been done has been counter productive with anticorruption drives firing heads of recruitment centres resulting in recruitment centres then failing to work reducing the pipeline even further. Ukraine has a stark choice on manpower. Either do universal male conscription now or if that's not palatable then withdraw the maximalist ceasefire goals of retaking all 2014 territory and agree to a status quo ceasefire with the hope of rebuilding. In the meantime they probably need to review how many people are in rear area positions and send a portion of these to train for the frontline.
Munitions wise this has gotten a lot of press but is somewhat a red herring. Lack of US supplies is extremely damaging sure but the basic is that the stockpiles of what Ukraine needs in the West started off not great and now are at minimum stocking levels so all that can be sent is current production which is charitably no more than 3-4k shells a day for the next 6 months. Ukraine cannot therefore make up for lack of manpower through overwhelming firepower which appears to be their fantasy plan at the moment. They therefore need to dig in hard to try to counter some of the firepower and pick their battles. As an aside, there's nothing stopping Europe buying the US shells they've presumably produced into stockpile and sending them to Ukraine apart from economic nationalism. For future production, the West is great at high tech but it's industrial base for high volume production is pretty awful in the defence and civilian side. This bodes extremely poorly for significant ramping up of production.
Finally this situation is very reminiscent of WW1. 1914 was the year of significant volunteer enthusiasm, 1915/1916/1917 were industrial build up and transitioning from a small volunteer force to a conscript force and the new troops learning their craft. This is where we're at now so we'll have to see whether the Russian advances post Avdiivka fall are a trend showing a breaking of the stalemate or whether they'll run out of steam soon.
