I’m guessing they have some kind of tacit agreement. Morocco’s location makes them a valuable non-member ally to NATO and their relations with NATO are only improving. I don’t see either side wanting to jeopardize this relationship.
I think what keeps happening with tanks and now jets is they are training Ukrainian soldiers on those systems while saying they won't send them. When the troops are trained on the systems, the leaders "change" their minds and send the hardware. You know damn well Ukrainians are training on various jets in the US and elsewhere.
The less information you give the other side, the better. But it's also like the famous 'public secret'. Everyone knows, but it's still a 'secret'. I think we know the government too well if you ask me.

"According to Algerian press, Morocco sent 20 tanks to Ukraine" If you wanna know something about a country you don't ask its neighbor/enemy. Algeria claimed Morocco entred war on the Ukrainian side, while Lavrov announced a visit to Morocco
The US purchased them on behalf of Ukraine in exchange of more Abrams. Algeria of course jumped on the case to anger Russia at us, but lavrov then said nah we're cool
My only wish is that I had content like this when I was a young bright eyed history lover in high-school I always reccomend this channel to aspiring history lovers I meet
After losing thousands of troops and hundreds of tanks the Russians managed to capture the bus stop in the outskirts of Bakhmut. This bus stop is an important traffic hub, 4 times a day a bus is driving from there to Kiev. ^^
8:06 The reasons for Germany being reluctant to send tanks to Ukraine are many and complex, summarizing them as "fearing retaliation from Russia" is a disservice to the truth.
Ok, it's complicated, Germany is caught between politicians and parties that want to support Ukraine (The Greens and SD) with weapons and politicians and parties that want to go back to doing business with Russia and are perfectly happy with selling the Ukrainians out if it gets them back on the Russian gravy train

Thank you guys for another news update. Hopefully you won't have to still be making these in another eleven months. God be with you out there everybody. ✝️
No information provided about the UK? we were the first to announce Challenger 2's and pilot training I believe? however an amazing video as always! =)
You forgot the 14 Tanks from the UK. While only a small number, they were the icebreaker. The Challenger 2 is a very good and highly survivable Tank. And with T-62s returning to the battlefield, its older HESH rounds would have some renewed effective on the battlefield against hostile armor. But that aside, dang man. That's a lot of support and troops getting trained. Plus, the increase in ammunition manufacturing. It's about time. Too many people were beginning to think Future War would only be small teams of highly mobile troops. That idea has been tried so repeatedly; I'm surprised it is STILL being tried.
But won't it be a bit of a challenge to bring in Leopard/Abram/Challenger tanks when you need to train the soldiers to use them effectively, which could take a while, and establish a new logistics chain because of it.
They have been training Ukrainians on these vehicles for at least a month already. The idea is to train them abroad and only send the tanks inside Ukr once the personnel training is over.
I think this will be partly solved by placing separate types of tanks in separate brigades - a tank brigade is 90 machines, a mechanized brigade is 30. This is realistic. interesting fact - the battalion training on leo in Poland belongs to the 4th tank brigade
Ukr soldiers have already been training on American equipment in the states for a few months now. As much as the politicians would like for you to think this is a recent decision they discussed in reality military leaders already made that call a long time ago and started working on it in the background so yes challenge acknowledged and already completed
One idea the allies have is to create garages and supply hubs in neighboring countries like Poland. From there, you send them the tanks and repair those who need it. Russia can't do shit about it without striking at a NATO nation.
A very good update on how its proceeding. However you failed to mention the uk has pledged to deliver 14 Challenger 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine. Other than that a well polished presentation. good work!
that list of pledged aid is absolutely terrifying. I don't think the average person really understands the scale of what is happening right now, and how much further this has gone than ever before... our little break from the cold war in the 90s and 2000s has turned it hot
Russia is not the soviet union. This needs to be kept in mind. Russia understands a war with the west is a war that will end the wealth and control of the powers that be in Russia. There is no reality where they would actually use nuclear warheads simply because America have proven their military capabilities and intelligence. We have also all seen what Russia is capable of. They could fire a nuke but I think its been made pretty clear, we know where Putin is. We know where their nuclear warheads are held. Our missiles work and are incredibly accurate we also have overwhelming military force. Russia has spent 3 years from today planning this war in Ukraine, The west has used the same time to map out Russian military assets and naval assets in such an event article 5 is triggered. I would even go so far to argue that a war with the west would end within 24-48h because of the absolute devastation to the Russian forces inside Ukraine. Check out operation desert storm and also the Iraq invasion and the methods used. It really brings home what the Russians lack, they talk a good talk and on paper have strength but the reality is the completely opposite. Only a few of their best planes actually operate in a combat capacity, they boast hardware which it seems was paid for but corruption led to the numbers being far less (such as tank numbers). There's no reality where launching a nuclear strike would benefit Putin and also I don't think he's "crazy" I think he's ego driven. He's no Hitler, I don't think he would actually allow the destruction of Russia on his watch. The destruction by failure isn't the same as scorched earth intentional destruction ofc :)
@ミスティドラゴン why should we be concerned? you think we can stop Africa nd china pumping CO2 into the air when we have had the luxury of 120+ years of doing just that to industrialise nd modernise. If we essentially forced them without a clean energy replacement thats equal in price then you would essentially cause mass poverty. Africa especially is playing catch up nd china is not about to be told by the west what they can do. The sooner we reach the point where nuclear nd renewable energy is as abundant as fossil then the switch will happen. Ideology aint about to change a god damn thing in these countries though. If you want to force china down to 0% emissions my advice would be raise an army because that is fantasy. Its important to be realistic. No one will stay poor to save a planet they can't live in due to them dieing of hunger. I think people fail to understand that men that control armies are the ones that seem to make the calls. Political posturing on climate issues is meaningless. Technology is the true answer to this problem.
@ミスティドラゴン NATO pumping billions of dollars into a european war being fought over russian westward expansion as nuclear threats are thrown around... is a weird was to qualify the cold war being "over"...
It's also dumb that they say Ukraine has lost 100k soldiers dead and wounded when we know they had lost arond that 3 months ago. Likely around 200k on both sides.
@@Punisher9419 Well its not really "dumb" They have to use a reliable source. If there is none, then you have to use the last available estimate. Otherwise you have propaganda, not facts. Civilian casulties we probably wont know, until its over
@@Punisher9419 a couple months ago, the estimate was that the Russians had 100k fully dead and nearly 200k wounded, the Ukrainian total is probably 200k casualties. The biggest difference is the evac and medical systems on the AFU side are much better, RU soldiers are much, much, more likely to die from survivable wounds.
So we're just not going to say what really happened? The UK was the first to send western made tanks The Challenger 2. Which actually pressured Germany and the US to respond as well.
@@Markus117d Arguing who sent what first is frivalous, the point of sending tanks is to help the ukrainian armed forces and its citizens, not for clout.
I'm sorry but the statement that "Germany didn't allow others to send tanks" is just not true. There was no formal request to export, so there was nothing to block. Actually, at this point Germany is among the only ones still willing to send tanks. Scholz is even openly campaigning for other countries to send tanks as well. There's many issues with our officials but let's stick to the truth.
Did I miss something ? The U.K lead the way by pledging 14 challenger 2 tanks first , leopards, Abrams etc came after this , funny this crucial info is missing , or did I miss it, or was it mentioned in another vid ?
Hmmm I hope we can train some Ukrainians for the use of IRBs (Improved Ribbon Bridge) the Army company local to my area specializes in rapid deployment of this platform.

K&G did cover the chally 2 in their last video as the announcement was made prior to Jan 15-30, which is the timeframe for this vid :)
Oh how I love these videos! Kings and Generals are the best!
Fantastic video keep it up you're doing amazing job
Thanks!
Its actually so sad and yet kinda awesome that I can get more and better information about the Ukraine War on TH-cam than anywhere else
You know, the one who gain the most better information is us, Ukrainians)
You forgot the 14 Tanks from the UK. While only a small number, they were the icebreaker. The Challenger 2 is a very good and highly survivable Tank. And with T-62s returning to the battlefield, its older HESH rounds would have some renewed effective on the battlefield against hostile armor.
But that aside, dang man. That's a lot of support and troops getting trained. Plus, the increase in ammunition manufacturing. It's about time. Too many people were beginning to think Future War would only be small teams of highly mobile troops. That idea has been tried so repeatedly; I'm surprised it is STILL being tried.
It is when the US is doing it
Thanks for the video, great work!
Though HIMARS is pronounced "high mars".
thank you
What about Britain sending Challenger tanks? Arguably, isn't that what opened the floodgates to Abrams and Leopards being sent?
i know right a slap in the face really
But won't it be a bit of a challenge to bring in Leopard/Abram/Challenger tanks when you need to train the soldiers to use them effectively, which could take a while, and establish a new logistics chain because of it.
They have been training Ukrainians on these vehicles for at least a month already. The idea is to train them abroad and only send the tanks inside Ukr once the personnel training is over.
I think this will be partly solved by placing separate types of tanks in separate brigades - a tank brigade is 90 machines, a mechanized brigade is 30. This is realistic. interesting fact - the battalion training on leo in Poland belongs to the 4th tank brigade
Ukr soldiers have already been training on American equipment in the states for a few months now. As much as the politicians would like for you to think this is a recent decision they discussed in reality military leaders already made that call a long time ago and started working on it in the background so yes challenge acknowledged and already completed
Of course it's a challenge. It's a war not a picknick.
One idea the allies have is to create garages and supply hubs in neighboring countries like Poland. From there, you send them the tanks and repair those who need it. Russia can't do shit about it without striking at a NATO nation.
Nice video
Love The vid
A very good update on how its proceeding. However you failed to mention the uk has pledged to deliver 14 Challenger 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine. Other than that a well polished presentation. good work!
O believe it was before Jan 15th, so it’s in the previous video
@@wolfyzera611 Ah, fair enough
@@jgray7970 Tell that to the Iraqi Army.
@@justandy333The Iraqis went insane from all the freedoms they received in the gulf war. Best to leave them to their grief.
that list of pledged aid is absolutely terrifying. I don't think the average person really understands the scale of what is happening right now, and how much further this has gone than ever before... our little break from the cold war in the 90s and 2000s has turned it hot
It would have never happened if Western countries would have sanctioned the hell out of ruzzia back in 2008
Russia is not the soviet union. This needs to be kept in mind. Russia understands a war with the west is a war that will end the wealth and control of the powers that be in Russia. There is no reality where they would actually use nuclear warheads simply because America have proven their military capabilities and intelligence. We have also all seen what Russia is capable of. They could fire a nuke but I think its been made pretty clear, we know where Putin is. We know where their nuclear warheads are held. Our missiles work and are incredibly accurate we also have overwhelming military force. Russia has spent 3 years from today planning this war in Ukraine, The west has used the same time to map out Russian military assets and naval assets in such an event article 5 is triggered. I would even go so far to argue that a war with the west would end within 24-48h because of the absolute devastation to the Russian forces inside Ukraine. Check out operation desert storm and also the Iraq invasion and the methods used. It really brings home what the Russians lack, they talk a good talk and on paper have strength but the reality is the completely opposite. Only a few of their best planes actually operate in a combat capacity, they boast hardware which it seems was paid for but corruption led to the numbers being far less (such as tank numbers). There's no reality where launching a nuclear strike would benefit Putin and also I don't think he's "crazy" I think he's ego driven. He's no Hitler, I don't think he would actually allow the destruction of Russia on his watch. The destruction by failure isn't the same as scorched earth intentional destruction ofc :)
@ミスティドラゴン why should we be concerned? you think we can stop Africa nd china pumping CO2 into the air when we have had the luxury of 120+ years of doing just that to industrialise nd modernise. If we essentially forced them without a clean energy replacement thats equal in price then you would essentially cause mass poverty. Africa especially is playing catch up nd china is not about to be told by the west what they can do. The sooner we reach the point where nuclear nd renewable energy is as abundant as fossil then the switch will happen. Ideology aint about to change a god damn thing in these countries though. If you want to force china down to 0% emissions my advice would be raise an army because that is fantasy. Its important to be realistic. No one will stay poor to save a planet they can't live in due to them dieing of hunger. I think people fail to understand that men that control armies are the ones that seem to make the calls. Political posturing on climate issues is meaningless. Technology is the true answer to this problem.
@ミスティドラゴン NATO pumping billions of dollars into a european war being fought over russian westward expansion as nuclear threats are thrown around... is a weird was to qualify the cold war being "over"...
@ミスティドラゴン bruh there’s a war on and ur thinking about co2 💀
good footage
Even the Norwegian claim of 30,000 civilian dead is naïvely small.
The West is minimizing the Tragedy as I have already decided its time to bring in the Nato air armada and end this.
You are sadly probably correct
It's also dumb that they say Ukraine has lost 100k soldiers dead and wounded when we know they had lost arond that 3 months ago. Likely around 200k on both sides.
@@Punisher9419 Well its not really "dumb" They have to use a reliable source. If there is none, then you have to use the last available estimate. Otherwise you have propaganda, not facts.
Civilian casulties we probably wont know, until its over
@@Punisher9419 a couple months ago, the estimate was that the Russians had 100k fully dead and nearly 200k wounded, the Ukrainian total is probably 200k casualties. The biggest difference is the evac and medical systems on the AFU side are much better, RU soldiers are much, much, more likely to die from survivable wounds.
So we're just not going to say what really happened? The UK was the first to send western made tanks The Challenger 2. Which actually pressured Germany and the US to respond as well.
Covered in the previous video, as it happened before Jan 15.
@@gchampi2 I'm sure it was the 15th or 16th when the uk announced the Challenger 2. I made be wrong.
@@Markus117d Arguing who sent what first is frivalous, the point of sending tanks is to help the ukrainian armed forces and its citizens, not for clout.
As always and as usual TY for all your hard work and content contributions…just appreciating
This narrator is fantastic!!! He reminds me of the old British newsreel narrators!!!
Clear, and concise!!! Just fantastic content!!! Thank you!
Both in Ukrainian and Russian, the stress in the word "oblast" is made on the first syllable -" 'Oblast", not "obl'Ast".
*Glares in Challenger 2*
Announced Jan 14th, mentioned in the previous video in the series...
Thanks
15:45 yup, the answer is always no, right up until it's yes
I'm sorry but the statement that "Germany didn't allow others to send tanks" is just not true. There was no formal request to export, so there was nothing to block.
Actually, at this point Germany is among the only ones still willing to send tanks. Scholz is even openly campaigning for other countries to send tanks as well. There's many issues with our officials but let's stick to the truth.
Did I miss something ? The U.K lead the way by pledging 14 challenger 2 tanks first , leopards, Abrams etc came after this , funny this crucial info is missing , or did I miss it, or was it mentioned in another vid ?
This decision was made before the 15th and mentioned in the previous video normally.
Best chanel for a detailed analysis 👌 (new sub)
*Can you please tell me how and from where you get all the clips for your videos? I am waiting for your response.*
Hmmm I hope we can train some Ukrainians for the use of IRBs (Improved Ribbon Bridge) the Army company local to my area specializes in rapid deployment of this platform. A pass is assembling it across the Mississippi River in 23 minutes, the 652nd assembled it in 17m 48s in 2022. It can sustain 85 tracked vehicles at a time.
Kinda weird that in the breakdown of mbt deliveries you failed to mention the uk giving 14 challenger 2’s
I'm pretty sure they were mentioned in the previous video.
those where mentioned in the previous "episode".
so they probably where announced before the 15th of January.
@@ChristiaanHW Ahhhhh that's probably it, I was wondering why it wasn't included
@@Markus117d This video covered equipment pledged from January 15th to 31st. The UK pledged to send Challenger 2s before that. Simple as.
Great video, although you maybe should research some more about the tank deliveries for the next video
thank you ! i very much enjoy the updates on ukraine.
