CNN military analyst and retired Col. Cedric Leighton breaks down the latest developments in Ukraine's military counteroffensive as it makes notable gains. #CNN #News
Show him some movies of the human and landscape damage at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Then remind Medvedev that his weapons are hundreds of times more potent than those 1945 WW2 bombs. Hopefully he'll realize a nuke strike in Ukraine WILL effect Russian people, too.
"Forced to use" - Nobody with half a brain is buying this logic. Ukraine is not showing aggression here. They are not even "attacking" anyone else's land. If more drastic, reckless, and criminal measures are taken there is one side to blame if it happens and one side only.

@@blake9358And I suspect you know that Russia was founded by immigrants from Ukraine. This can go on and on for ages. Just draw the line with UN recognized territories.
Yeah, IED's were even a big problem for some modern vehicles, I can't imagine mines actually designed to destroy tanks. They're going to need better anti-mine technology instead of constantly probing and rushing through it.
@just. Wow. I’m amazed at how powerful propaganda is. We are now returning to the triumphalism of last fall? ( president Biden) “Russia is losing “. Wow. But , hey .. as long as the narrative can hold up … this is the play . Otherwise the political consequences are catastrophic!
That's shameful. Billions of dollars worth of sanction and military needed to defeat an incompetent army. Same logic as russia is so weak that's why Ukraine needs help or russia will invade whole of Europe.
The colonel needs to be more precise in his language. Russia did not formally annex the territory, they illegally annexed it. Ukraine did not capture the territory they recaptured it. He needs to be clear who the aggressor is!
not only that, the Russian tank actually enganges them. Its not like its defending its position.. its attacking the Ukrainian tanks and vehicles, destroying 7 of them. This shows you the difference between men being forced to fight without training.. and a single tank crew, prepared, trained and motivated to defend their land.
That tank was being remotely controlled. You can see the operator a few hundred metres behind. It was sent to test the Russian response to anything advancing towards the tank trap ditch. There was no response. This was shown on a different channel about a week ago.
I wish journalists would stop expressing their concern about Russia's nuclear threats. Those journalists are ensuring that rogue nations will aim to use nuclear blackmail in the future.
We will just have to see if it is bluff, eh? But why would it be not a real option for Putin, and why would he not actually do it it. Unless the West is willing to accepts what may actually be a pre taken decision in the Kremlin and likelihood of getting into nuclear , it for tat, Putin's forces could not be conventionally attacked by the West in retaliation for a tactical nuclear weapon use against the Ukrainian army .No one explains why in the final analysis Putin may be assumed to prefer swallowing a humiliating defeat than using a small specimen of his weapons of last resort as a hard either/ or reality therapy for the West. You cannot fight nuclear weapons conventionally. We have a handle on what Putin will or will not dare do in the events of Feb 2022 have made clear that the current leadership in the Kremlin is very far from being risk averse when things begin to go against them.
That's an Anglo-saxons(US and UK) proxy war....Just go to google and search....All the diplomatic process that preceeded this proxy war has been jeopardized by the same Anglo-saxons...But these Anglo-saxons are now complaining that their proxy war is not going to plan....
The tank was set to go straight by that last soldier you see closest to it. After falling in the tank tries to climb up the other side and falls back in. It's probably a broken old tank from the Russians that they used to test the defenses.
Possibly, people think it is a remote control, but it could be simply rigged to accelerate in the trenches direction and the gas disengaged on trying to go over. Depends on the model on how it's done, like if it had a gas pedal you can put a brick on it and it would slide off on the attempt to go over.
@@feedyourmind6713 Shame YOU don't understand that there is NO NEW Russian equipment being used in the Ukraine....by either side! Russia has a huge amount of 50 year old junk that they never maintained which they are now trying to get to run, then they employ them in the Ukraine until they are destroyed, captured or break down!
This reminds me of the time this one fat kid tried to beat me up in first grade, but went down crying after I punched him in the mouth once. Then he got up and screamed about how he was going to get his dad to sue me. Because I defended myself.... Oh unsurprisingly, his dad didn't do jack.
Not only is Medvedev's threat nothing more than bluster. I wish they would discuss WHY using such a weapon would have zero impact on Russia achieving it's military objectives. Also, Poland would wipe out any Wagner forces that would enter their country. Don't mess with Poland. They have been arming themselves to the teeth in recent years.
1:50 the main impediments to ukrainian advance have been minefields, helicopter strikes, and artillery bombardment-the ukrainians have rarely gotten close enough to the first main defensive band to encounter the dragon’s teeth barriers
@@artbagley1406 russia has jamming equipment set up all along their defensive lines so ukrainian drones can’t get close enough. a recent report from the royal united services institute found ukraine was losing 10,000 drones a month to russian electronic warfare equipment

@@damyannonchev1698 Russia's black sea fleet will cease to exit without the use of a retaliatory Nuclear Strike. Then every Russian soldier in Ukraine will be removed by overwhelming NATO combined arms strikes. If Russia then chooses to retaliate with Nukes on US territory, they will have to accept MAD and see who maintained their weapons better.
Yeah, it's the ditches, the dragon's teeth and minefields (and barbed wire, etc.) that are there to slow down an enemy advance while you can then pound them relentlessly with artillery and from MG points as they try to muddle their way through all those barriers. While any decent MBT can just push dragon's teeth aside (when not buried, as is the case here), if you first have to cross some ditches, AT minefields and dodge incoming artillery and ATGMs, the dragon's teeth are the least of your problems. Demining takes time even when you're not being relentlessly shelled.
It's not a single thing that's the problem, it's all of them (barriers, trenches, mines) in cobination with RPG wielding soldiers (in the trenches) and attack helicopters, that make the advance either slow or very costly. On a positive note, it's likely that once Ukraine passes those defences and gets the supply lines in range of ordinary artillery and move air defence systems closer to the front, the frontline will crumble. So far Ukraine has done a great job in destroying local supply dumps and destroy them again and again (hence the need for just-in-time supply lines), they also crippled several choke points for supplies from Russia proper. Ukraine doesn't even need to take supply centres, like Tokmak, they only need to cut off the routes leading in and out. Let's not forget the fact, that Russian troops in Ukraine are well aware that they are an unwelcome invader in a foreign country. Vladolf Putler's propaganda doesn't work on them, anymore.
Low voltage Dimitri may or may not know that the use of tactical nucs or the destruction of the nuc plant would spell the end of the Black Sea fleet within a few hours.
Ukraine has the right to take back the territory that was taken from them by force. If Russia uses Nuclear Weapons against Ukraine that is on them, and should be reason to provide Ukraine with long range missile capabilities to hit Minsk and Moscow.
Krimea was part of Russia before the Soviet Union, in 1954 they gave it to Ukraine and were keep saying you are our brothers we love you, but America saw them as opponents and that's why invited Ukraine in 2008 to join NATO, they new that this will cause a war and that's why they did it and never gave up this idea. And Ukraine thought they can take Crimea( 70%of the population there is Russian , 15 % taters, the actual Ukrainians are not more than 10%) and give it to America to build their military bases there against Russia . Remember what happened when Russia wanted to have their rockets in Cuba in the 60s how America kicked off . America and Russia are equally to be blamed for this war.
@@emilchavgov8355 America was never going to build a military base in Crimea, and before Russia invaded Ukraine, no one in Ukraine wanted to be in NATO, and no one in NATO wanted Ukraine, knowing full well that Russia would spaz out like a mentally retarded asylum escapee exactly like it is doing now. Putin's contribution to Russia is that it will now be walled off and left to rot, like North Korea.
what could happen if Ukraine's counteroffensive is successful?..... good question.. but also and more probable.. what if the Pope became Muslim.. then what would happen?
It was intended to stay inside the trench to fill the gap so the next vehicles will just ran over that stuck tank (intentionally they removed the turret). You can see the dragons teeth formation heading the direction of where the tank was going are already with gap. You can also see the driver jumped and run back to the forest before reaching the trench.
@@the-weirdest ah...that's why they chose that vehicle (no turret)..you can see also the driver just jumped from the vehicle before reaching the trench. He ran fast back to the forest.
@@jonny-b4954 no.. you can see a soldier heading to the forest..it was very small but it was moving..around 50m~70m from the vehicle..take a look closer..if you connect the gap of the dragon's teeth to the vehicle and the small moving dot(the driver) around 40 degrees line will lead you to the moving dot..
War To the Last Ukrainian - American Jews are taking revenge on Ukrainians for Holocaust.... it is well known that Ukrainians killed Jews and not Germans
They've been supplied with thousands of tanks, aircrafts and long range missiles from NATO countries. The US dont want to send their own planes or tanks because it will humiliate them.. just like it happened with the Leopards for example. Best tank in the world my ass lol
@@arlokino they're not really 40 years old if they've been upgraded. Russia is fighting with tanks from 1972.. but with upgrades, it still kicks ass of modern Leopards. edit: any tank on this planet is better than a Leopard.. so my argument is kinda weak, but you know what I mean.
For the trench drive an old t72 Into the trench and use that as the bridge as for the Dragon’s tooth cement does horrible with vibration but it’s very strong hit it with a tank shell
The F-16 would be very helpful against the Russian attack helicopters and ground support planes depending on the variant sent (depending on radar range). They still can’t come too close to the border though as they are vulnerable to Russian air defense systems. They would have to carry out quite a few wild weasels missions successfully to come near the border.

All the Nations voluntarily ended the era of Imperialism (except Russia and China, they were mad we ended it), invented Globalization so Nations would have power of sanctions as a tool so they wouldn't be at war all the time, and formed the NATO alliance, so smaller independent Nations in Europe could join forces to defend like an Empire if Russia returns. If we were willing to do all that just to deter Russia, and you think we are going to just let Russia try it's conquest of Europe a second time, you underestimate us at your risk.
The general’s missing that the tank just moving to the trench, without an operator at the controls, trying to draw fire if the Russians are watching. The operator who started the tank is closer to the tree line walking slowly behind. Russia has lots of defenses un manned until the Ukrainians show up to advance.
Russia did advance over the dnieper recently, but they stopped afterwards as they couldn’t get enough supplies over the river to continue a push. That was a couple of days ago, it’s unclear if Ukraine has since pushed them back. But yeah, only minor offensives by Russia at this point. They’ve put almost all their resources into digging into prepared defenses.
@@Charles-yq8vv I get my info through my Roku streaming stick....Euro news, Skynews, , DW, Jake Broe on youtube and others. Even Al Jazarra is better. US networks are generally asleep through this crisis with a few moments of interest from CNN. I don't bother with the evening news light shows.
The dragon teeth are a blocking device but far from formidable. When combined with mine fields and trenches they are problematic but they are not even close to what was constructed in WW2, they can easily be bulldozed.
Second question : Yes. The logs or bundle of wood to fill anti tank ditches started when tanks started in "The Great War", and was used by all sides in WWII. Many modern armies use "engineer tanks" for this now ("construction tanks" and the like that ; move the earth, armoured vehicles that bring things to demolish or fill up the ditches and defensive works, or use bridging equipment, or carry explosives to change the defensive landscape ).
Russia is not complain bot Russia is telling them it’s going to have consequences Ukraine is over the only people interested in this war is Washington DC and Americans mercenaries fighting inside Ukraine there are no Ukrainians soldiers left
@justice3125 you’re a tremendous troll you can’t even see by now that this war was planned provoked by Washington DC CIA went to Ukraine before and build an army with Americans taxes and after CIA went to Ukraine overthrow Ukraine president and replaced with Zelenskyy and joke that was placed to provoke Russia borders with missiles in order to Russia invade so they have this as an excuse to start a war against Russia unfortunately they are using Ukraine against Russia!

Open your eyes you full it’s a war between NATO and Ukraine they just using Ukraine no one will f**ck with Russia directly because Russia have power nukes as US have do you understand???
I blame the west too for shackling Ukraines military response. I hate to see innocent civilians embroiled in a war but those civilians in Russia should be forced to get their heads out of their asses and experience what innocent Ukranian civilians have experienced for a year and a half. Ukraine is entitled to use any means necessary as it is fighting a war of defence and not aggression. Russia can bomb anywhere in Ukraine and Ukraine cant bomb nowhere in Russia. Russian double standards is unbelievable. It tells a lot about the humanity of the Ukranian people that they have only launched attacks against Russia recently. They have shown considerable moral restraint so far.
"From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17 "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Matthew 5:38-39 "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." Matthew 6:5-6
The Ukrainian forces didn't reach the line of the "dragon teeth". On video, there is only one lone tank and it was stopped at the antitank ditch a bit before the dragon teeth line. What happened to this tank? Being stuck in a ditch it has become an excellent target for Russian artillery or drone. That is the biggest achievement of Ukrainian forces on the Zaporizhzhia front line. 🤣🤣🤣

As soon as Trump gets in and shuts all of this bullshit down. Joe Biden is profiting off this war, so he isn’t going to tell either side to slow down anytime soon!
Many people say Ukranians are going too slow but Russians had months to prepare all these obstacles and landmines while Ukraine waited for governments make to up their minds to send weapons. This isn't a race nor I am not aware of any dealines plus WW2 wasn't won in a few weeks and they didn't have a enemy that had the threat of nucluear weapons. Most likely if Ukraine had proper air support these obstacles would easy be taken out.
-i think the russians can see the writing on the wall 1-the russian military sucks 2-medvedev is shorter than putin but likes to generate twice the drama, he’s hysterical
Ukrainian’s could be considerably more successful if, we would provide them with all the weapons they need like; (ATACMS) long range missiles that can be loaded-in (HIMARS) & F-16’s. Without these weapons systems, this war is turning into a bloody stalemate, that favors Russia.
War To the Last Ukrainian - American Jews are taking revenge on Ukrainians for Holocaust.... it is well known that Ukrainians killed Jews and not Germans
Thing is. Giving Ukraine all of their weapons is not logical. Because that’s less to defend your own country in case of invasion. That’s why when stockpiles of weapons does reach a concerning level is when all help will stop. And if they can’t produce fast enough then help will definitely end. That’s why Ukraine will not win over Russia. Because all of these “help” will eventually end. Russia can afford to wait until help ends or Ukraine is completely demilitarizes that no amount of aid will help them. That’s the reality of this war.
@@arlokino that may be true. Either way I don’t see Ukraine winning a war against Russia. That’s like Cuba or Mexico or Canada can win over U.S not possible. And U.S will use nukes aswell if they see they are losing in a war.
It's not only the dragonteeth, the terrority is full of mines, plus Ukraine has no air superiority. That makes a offensive very difficult. The Ukranians are smart enough to aim their missiles and drones at artillerieunits, logistics and ammo depots and move forward when there is a opportunity.
@@lukeamato2348 That's impossible and means nuclear war essentially which no side wins. Neither are ever going to get what they want where things stand rn. Concessions need to be made from both sides.
This guy says if they cut the the Suwalki gap, Baltic states would be cut off. If that happens then NATO is useless because Suwalki gap is a NATO territory.
100 guys are not going to cut off the gap as they would be neutralized in less than a few hours, their goal if any is to provoke a political response from NATO and the EU.
He doesn't say what a response by nato will be, because this is neither his call nor his job. Be sure if such a move takes place from the Russian side, Kaliningrad will be flattened in a few days, and the gap having been "freed" will just be meaningless and the most moronic move Russia has ever done up to now since the beginning of its existence.
Unaccounted force multiplier, Air mobile and 1st Armored in Poland. There is no way Russia is intelligent enough, none. Russia is a terrorist/mercenary state with questionable tech reliability and hiding behind those nukes, Putin shot his own Army already, proven incapability already
These dragons teeth - helpfully provided by the Russian military - will come in handy after this war is won by the Ukrainians: they can be re-used to establish a permanent defensive boundary at the internationally-recognized Ukraine-Russian border.
The fact that Ukraine is non-stop taking away land from Russian control without consequences as result must mean that those regions are not Russian land.
So until news broke of these extraordinary developments in Russia, the focus in that region had been on this counteroffensive launched by Ukraine. Slower than desired - that's how Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy characterized it earlier this week. He added, quote, "Some people believe this is a Hollywood movie and expect results now. It's not." Ukrainian forces are reported to have recaptured several villages, but there's been no major breakthrough.
The other thing is that the Ukrainians are not terribly well-trained. They've expanded their forces greatly. The United States and NATO have trained some of these units, but not very many. What they're trying to do is very complicated. The military calls it combined arms. That is, you have to get all of the different combat arms working together. The infantry has to work with the artillery and the tanks and the engineers. And that takes a lot of training. It's very difficult, and the Ukrainians are struggling with that.
They could be used for offensive purposes, but the area over the battle zone is very dangerous for aircraft. The Russians aren't using their aircraft there. The Ukrainians haven't been using theirs very much there. The ground-based air defenses are very powerful. So F-16s, if they got there, would be most valuable in protecting cities, not for helping an offensive.
The Ukrainians do need to show some progress. The risk is that if they don't, then their supporters in the West and their own people will get discouraged. This will look like a forever war and advocates for immediate negotiations and the cease-fire will get stronger.
First of all it goes against military logic and doctrine to launch a counteroffensive with no air superiority even at local level. Also Ukraine does not have enough heavy weaponry for such a counteroffensive despite the west publicised military aid in tanks etc. People are getting too caught up with the ridiculous amount of territory recaptured or regained. That is a secondary military operation. Remember a lot of regained territory is just destroyed villages and hamlets and burned out fields. The military aim is to destroy Russian personnel and equipment in these areas. You have to inflict severe losses on the enemy and erode and degrade his capability of waging war.
Its reckless for Russia to use electronic warfare against these drones. Ukraine is launching them at military targets and by Russia " knocking them out of the sky " causes these drones to hit residential areas.
@@josephstolen-election5949 You are missing the point entirely, Sherl-ORC. The point is that Ukraine has all the right to attack military targets agains Russia the aggressor. If Russia then decides to shoot down the drones and causes civilian damage, then they are the architects behind any misery of the Russian people. And to be honest until they topple the Russian government it wouldn't be bad for them to experience some hardships themselves.
They completely twist the facts. No Ukrainian army has reached the Russian defence line, it was one (maybe crew) of one single tank that was ALLOWED to come this close, as the intention was to desert.
Guys, this 'counter' offensive runs since two months now. Ukraine gained 5 km and lost 450 tanks and 1300 other armored vehicles (2/3 of western origin) beside a whopping 35.000 dead. This will go nowhere.
"Please, please stop supporting the counter offensive because it is going to go nowhere" What do you think we're going to do to a half dead Russian army if they don't have the common decency to lose to Ukraine? Tea party? Flower arranging? Try on each others clothes and take selfies together?

Unless the West is willing to accepts what may actually be a pre taken decision in the Kremlin and likelihood of getting into nuclear , it for tat, Putin's forces could not be conventionally attacked by the West in retaliation for a tactical nuclear weapon use against the Ukrainian army .No one explains why in the final analysis Putin may be assumed to prefer swallowing a humiliating defeat than using a small specimen of his weapons of last resort as a hard either/ or reality therapy for the West. You cannot fight nuclear weapons conventionally.

The tank was set to go straight by that last soldier you see closest to it.
After falling in the tank tries to climb up the other side and falls back in. It's probably a broken old tank from the Russians that they used to test the defenses.
Possibly, people think it is a remote control, but it could be simply rigged to accelerate in the trenches direction and the gas disengaged on trying to go over. Depends on the model on how it's done, like if it had a gas pedal you can put a brick on it and it would slide off on the attempt to go over.
See how it always ends up being about "old" Russian equipment, even when it's not?

@@cocobunitacobuni8738 The ARE buying weapons from North Korea after all
My understanding is that the issue is not the dragon teeth’s but the severe mining and defense dug . THe dragon teeth is a minor issue
Yeah, it's the ditches, the dragon's teeth and minefields (and barbed wire, etc.) that are there to slow down an enemy advance while you can then pound them relentlessly with artillery and from MG points as they try to muddle their way through all those barriers. While any decent MBT can just push dragon's teeth aside (when not buried, as is the case here), if you first have to cross some ditches, AT minefields and dodge incoming artillery and ATGMs, the dragon's teeth are the least of your problems. Demining takes time even when you're not being relentlessly shelled.
The dragons teeth can easily be breached.
Trenches, teeth, mines, artillery, air support, 2nd line of defense, etc. Ukraine hasn’t even finished the easy part.
It's not a single thing that's the problem, it's all of them (barriers, trenches, mines) in cobination with RPG wielding soldiers (in the trenches) and attack helicopters, that make the advance either slow or very costly.
On a positive note, it's likely that once Ukraine passes those defences and gets the supply lines in range of ordinary artillery and move air defence systems closer to the front, the frontline will crumble.
So far Ukraine has done a great job in destroying local supply dumps and destroy them again and again (hence the need for just-in-time supply lines), they also crippled several choke points for supplies from Russia proper.
Ukraine doesn't even need to take supply centres, like Tokmak, they only need to cut off the routes leading in and out. Let's not forget the fact, that Russian troops in Ukraine are well aware that they are an unwelcome invader in a foreign country. Vladolf Putler's propaganda doesn't work on them, anymore.

Ukraine has the right to take back the territory that was taken from them by force. If Russia uses Nuclear Weapons against Ukraine that is on them, and should be reason to provide Ukraine with long range missile capabilities to hit Minsk and Moscow.
Ukraine already lose and west will lose also
Krimea was part of Russia before the Soviet Union, in 1954 they gave it to Ukraine and were keep saying you are our brothers we love you, but America saw them as opponents and that's why invited Ukraine in 2008 to join NATO, they new that this will cause a war and that's why they did it and never gave up this idea. And Ukraine thought they can take Crimea( 70%of the population there is Russian , 15 % taters, the actual Ukrainians are not more than 10%) and give it to America to build their military bases there against Russia . Remember what happened when Russia wanted to have their rockets in Cuba in the 60s how America kicked off . America and Russia are equally to be blamed for this war.

The general’s missing that the tank just moving to the trench, without an operator at the controls, trying to draw fire if the Russians are watching. The operator who started the tank is closer to the tree line walking slowly behind. Russia has lots of defenses un manned until the Ukrainians show up to advance.

@@1individeo that's because Russia has no real counter-offense, they are basically trying to hold on to territory the controlled before the war began.
Russia did advance over the dnieper recently, but they stopped afterwards as they couldn’t get enough supplies over the river to continue a push. That was a couple of days ago, it’s unclear if Ukraine has since pushed them back. But yeah, only minor offensives by Russia at this point. They’ve put almost all their resources into digging into prepared defenses.

Great analysis by the Colonel. However, Kaliningrad is an exclave, not an enclave.
The dragon teeth are a blocking device but far from formidable. When combined with mine fields and trenches they are problematic but they are not even close to what was constructed in WW2, they can easily be bulldozed.

Hats off to that Ukrainian bmp crew that tried to jump the tank ditch like Evel Knievel
The fact that Ukraine is non-stop taking away land from Russian control without consequences as result must mean that those regions are not Russian land.
There is actually no progress at all. But this is unacceptable to western media.
So until news broke of these extraordinary developments in Russia, the focus in that region had been on this counteroffensive launched by Ukraine. Slower than desired - that's how Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy characterized it earlier this week. He added, quote, "Some people believe this is a Hollywood movie and expect results now. It's not." Ukrainian forces are reported to have recaptured several villages, but there's been no major breakthrough.
The other thing is that the Ukrainians are not terribly well-trained. They've expanded their forces greatly. The United States and NATO have trained some of these units, but not very many. What they're trying to do is very complicated. The military calls it combined arms. That is, you have to get all of the different combat arms working together. The infantry has to work with the artillery and the tanks and the engineers. And that takes a lot of training. It's very difficult, and the Ukrainians are struggling with that.
They could be used for offensive purposes, but the area over the battle zone is very dangerous for aircraft. The Russians aren't using their aircraft there. The Ukrainians haven't been using theirs very much there. The ground-based air defenses are very powerful. So F-16s, if they got there, would be most valuable in protecting cities, not for helping an offensive.
The Ukrainians do need to show some progress. The risk is that if they don't, then their supporters in the West and their own people will get discouraged. This will look like a forever war and advocates for immediate negotiations and the cease-fire will get stronger.
You reply to yourself three times
First of all it goes against military logic and doctrine to launch a counteroffensive with no air superiority even at local level. Also Ukraine does not have enough heavy weaponry for such a counteroffensive despite the west publicised military aid in tanks etc. People are getting too caught up with the ridiculous amount of territory recaptured or regained. That is a secondary military operation. Remember a lot of regained territory is just destroyed villages and hamlets and burned out fields. The military aim is to destroy Russian personnel and equipment in these areas. You have to inflict severe losses on the enemy and erode and degrade his capability of waging war.
"Can you go over dragon's teeth?" says the reporter with soft hands. Its a concrete barricade kid.
Its reckless for Russia to use electronic warfare against these drones. Ukraine is launching them at military targets and by Russia " knocking them out of the sky " causes these drones to hit residential areas.
Exactly Mark. The Russians will be doing exactly what the Ukrainians have been. This is called “war” and peace is a much better option.
@@josephstolen-election5949 You are missing the point entirely, Sherl-ORC. The point is that Ukraine has all the right to attack military targets agains Russia the aggressor. If Russia then decides to shoot down the drones and causes civilian damage, then they are the architects behind any misery of the Russian people. And to be honest until they topple the Russian government it wouldn't be bad for them to experience some hardships themselves.
Obviously Russia doesn't give a flying rat's ass about it's own citizens. Never have, never will.
This news is 100 years old.
That tank never crossed that defensive line ,everybody was innihalated
They completely twist the facts. No Ukrainian army has reached the Russian defence line, it was one (maybe crew) of one single tank that was ALLOWED to come this close, as the intention was to desert.
French mercenaries drive into ditch !
Guys, this 'counter' offensive runs since two months now. Ukraine gained 5 km and lost 450 tanks and 1300 other armored vehicles (2/3 of western origin) beside a whopping 35.000 dead. This will go nowhere.
Lol brought to you by Russian state bullshit media 😂
"Please, please stop supporting the counter offensive because it is going to go nowhere"
What do you think we're going to do to a half dead Russian army if they don't have the common decency to lose to Ukraine?
Tea party? Flower arranging? Try on each others clothes and take selfies together?
@@rorychivers8769 lol 244000 dead russians say otherwise 😂 Ukrainian Army is 15 KM from Tokamak. Have fun watching Russia getting their ass whoop
@@B1GK1NGI would be happy if the Russian death toll was that high but I'm not confident. I land around 100k these days.
@@tjk3430 no it is high according to war data, mind you regular russian army death is about 100k the rest is between the LPR, DPR and wagner
Every single time that Medvedev gets on the booze he jumps in front of a camera and makes an absolute fool of himself...his brain is fried from too much vodka
Interesting 👍👍
