    Actually, the Germans did suffer a lot of casualties in Poland. The tanks moved slowly with the infantry causing loss of armor. The Poles had many anti tank rifles which could penetrate the panzer 1 and 2. In France the Germans used speed of the armor at all costs. The German army learned from each conflict and improved over time.

    Hey, just a heads up to anyone who may need to know; do not use tampons as a replacement for bandages. Do not stick a tampon in a bullet wound. They are absorbant, and meant to pull blood OUT, not keep it in. They leave behind small particules of cotton behind, and that is an excellent bed for infection.

      Is that the reason why Russia alone is beating the snot out of Ukraine + the entire NATO alliance? Weren´t they saying the russians were running out of missiles since May? And that Russia´s economy would self-destruct in a month, and yet they are recording a 2% growth in 2022, while the UK and Germany are in a recession? Or perhaps that´s the reason why Russia has a 6 to 1 kill ratio, and UA has suffered around 200k KIA, while Russia has 40k KIA? Indeed, they seem like a great "parade" army.

    On the topic of corruption in the Russian military. Due to the nation’s size, the military is split into various districts, each with its own autonomous governance of their districts’ military branches. Each district is responsible for providing and equipping their branches. Corrupt officials often pocketed large sums of money allocated by the federal government for supplying the military. What we’ve seen in Ukraine is troops pulled from poorer regions of Russia, where corruption is entirely unchecked vs somewhat. There are some Russian troops with little to no suitable equipment because of this, and on the other hand there are some who are fully kitted out in comparison. Considering most officials are just as bad as each other, money allocated by the federal government to ‘modernise and invest in the military’, has instead been spent on yachts and stocks in oil enterprises. They’re all guilty of greed in varying capacities, so no one official can take the high ground and point the finger, or there’d be no one left to govern the districts. Now the country is trying to adapt and ‘fix’ these decades-long military inadequacies due to underfunding. And that is Russia.

    In reference to the block of wood at 0:03
    That was not issued to a Russian soldier. That footage was recorded just after the Russians were forced to retreat from around Kyiv. It was a decoy to take up time and energy of EOD teams. In that same video a bomb is found inside of a rations box left in a civilian home. Many people were killed when they returned to their homes as a result of booby traps set by retreating Russian troops. Many objects were deliberately left behind that appeared to be explosive devices but were actually just decoys, as I said, to waste the time of EOD teams because they have to carefully examine objects that could be explosives before they can confirm whether they are or not.

    This reminds me a lot about China's defeat in the 1895 Battle of the Yellow Sea. The Chinese Government - under European advisers - spent a sizable amount to create a modern Navy, centered around several British and French designed warships and a local arsenal capable of making modern naval ammunition. Corruption ensured that only a few of the warships were actually built - without adequate armour-plate - and that the crew were very poorly trained. The Chinese "officers" gained their positions through influence, and never bothered acquiring any knowledge of the naval arts, the only capable crew being a handful of European contractors (mostly British and Scots) who were "kept out of the loop" regarding their own ships. When called on to fight the Japanese, it was discovered that the propellant charges and explosive shells were filled with sand , and the European manufactured armour piercing munitions were in such a poor state that most were useless. At least I understand in the subsequent disaster, the Japanese did pick up survivors...

    Excellent video. My experience in the USAF mirrors the theme here. Maintenance and training were costly, but our military and civilian leaders ensured that we were prepared and equipped for real battle. When I see "experts" complain about the amount of tax dollars invested in our national defense, I wonder if they ever flew an F-15 or used night vision goggles or stood next to another soldier trusting they both had the skills necessary to fight effectively together. For every hour of flight an F-16 requires 17 manhours of maintenance. An F-22 needs 30 to 40 manhours. An F-15C costs $23,000 per flight hour while the F-35 costs $28,000 per flight hour. The cost to train a fighter pilot in those airframes runs between $5 and $11 million per pilot. So, owning a $2 million dollar Steinway doesn't mean much if your piano is out of tune and the pianist never had lessons.

It's hard to believe, but of the thousands of info videos like this (on so many topics) there are very very few that don't have some sort of distracting or mood-inducing sound aded in.

      It's not all that bad in russian military, the shitshow is not everywhere, sadly.

Western help is few and far between, comes always late, allies overpromise and underdeliver, for example we still have a deficit of shells.
      But if you want to know the truth, those are just realities of current war, and perhaps all wars. An important overlooked factor is, well, not necessarily the will to fight, but the national determination. Russia will not stop, and will use anything they can to destroy us. Naturally, we do not want to be destroyed, so we will also use anything we can, despite everything.
      I don't think the video is bad or untruthful, it's not impartial, but that's fine. It's not a dry objective analysis, perhaps - it's an opinion piece shedding light on weak sides of russian military, which is very important to counter russian information warfare and propaganda, to shatter the image russia built for themselves. And yes, russians are uniquely creative in a very stupid way, they do shit like strapping ERA blocks on unarmoured vehicles and blowing up, for example. Yes, their military is a shitshow, and they are extremely corrupt. But still, they have guns, they can shoot them (usually), and the bullet will kill you no matter how stupid the user is and how rusty their rifle is, here in Ukraine we have a bitterly joking espression about old/rusty shit on both sides, or about allies providing very old vehicles - "it does move and it does shoot".
      Hopefully, with allies lately mobilising somewhat, we would at least get more shells. Russia has a lot of their own problems (like said in the video; it doesn't even cover 1% of all the shitshow), they can't sustain heavy losses forever. Our freedom, hope and will shall prevail, and all the death and sacrifice will not be for nothing.

      Ukraine is equally as corrupt as Russia is!
      Some news reports estimated that around 60% of the Western military aid was resold on the black market.
      Which explains why Zelensky keeps pestering governments to give him (mostly) money and weapons.
      Seen plenty of pictures and videos of cartels, terror groups etc... showing off brand new and advanced NATO weaponry.
      Bet there are plenty of mansions, yachts and sports cars bought in Southern France, Greece and Florida.
      Unfortunately, it's always the poor guy that pays for all this bullshit with their lives and limbs!

    To be fair, using a tampon on a bullet wound is an easy way to stop (or at least slow) the bleeding.
    Granted, the alleged second most powerful military in the world should have a better medical kit than a box of tampons, but still.

      In the 1980's in the US Army, some units would carry tampons, and maxi pads as a Supplement to our issued field dressings.
      There are only 1, maybe 2 Medics per Infantry Platoon. Often 1 soldier per Squad had a small medical kit with a half dozen dressings, shears, and some other stuff.
      Tampons/maxi pads, were a field expedient. Dressing for the serious wound, then control the bleeding from secondary wounds with a maxi pad and 100mph tape.
      Field dressings are removed at the BAS (Battalion Aid Station) or CaSH (Combat Surgical Hospital).
      USA typically gets their wounded to expert care in the "Golden Hour" so whatever works to keep folks alive until they get to a surgeon.
