what if estonia was invaded instead of ukraine would a very nice vid to see
Hello
Will this be as uninsightful as your past asessment asking how well the Russian army is trained? I bet you regret that now. I am wondering, if you got that so badly wrong what your actual field of speciality is?
*You should be very careful with using Wikipedia, especially for Poland's military - there's a user called FOX 52 who's actively trolling the Polish Air Force page as one example. AEGIS ashore is almost completed in Radzikowo, Poland however FOX 52 removes that info, and puts up completely inaccurate info about air defense.*
By making a fantasy video about the war in Ukraine, which is ongoing, you are affectively profiting off of the death of innocent civilians.
The only reason this video is relevant, the only reason you made it now is because of an ongoing war in Ukraine where Ukrainians are being slaughtered. That’s the only reason people are going to click on it like they are, that’s why I’m accusing you of being a war profiteer. Take this video down, and re-post it after the war
Take this video down, and repost it after the Russians are done slaughtering Ukrainians. After we have actually defeated them. Once the war is actually over. Stop acting like this is a f***ing video game, real people are dying right now
I work with alot of Polish people in my company. And all them said if Poland was invaded they would all go back to Poland and destroy Russia. One guy literally said: "The entire population of Poland would rather die, than be under Russian control again".
I’m a Lithuanian-Polish American. If this happened, I’d head to Poland.
But, they are fine under US occupation. How will we ever get rid of the Yankee terrorists?
Shit. My blood is polish-ukrainian. Im heading out rn
Fighting russia is a part of our history, existence. From generation to generation. Like good against evil. We gonna fight, like our grandfathers and greatgrandfathers did. Before they take me i take two of them with me
It's funny because Polacks were controlled by Polack communists -- not Russian ones. There are commies in every country. Their favorite way to deflect blame for economic mismanagement is to blame outside forces.
Didn’t even watch the video but i’d like to point out that the Polish army has had an actual enlisted bear, whereas the Russian army has only symbolically had bears.
We actually had 2 bears. One polar bear called Baśka and Wojtek the brown bear both in WW1 in WW2 respectively. So technically. Its a Polish tradition to recruit a bear during a World War.
Ah, but Russian bears use unicycles.
@@SwiftTrooper5 😂😆😂
@gerald kelly I love ❤️ the wojtek stories. Capturing a spy. Carrying shells from trucks to the Artillery. A paybook and serial number. What a bear 🐻
@@SwiftTrooper5 and ours carry artillery shells, have wrestling skills of John Cena and interrogation skills of someone really good at interrogating.
Fun fact - Poland was the first country to defeat and crush Red Army in 1920. Stalin never recovered after that, returned only when his ally Hitler attacked from the West
Russian army were always relying on their barbarian tactic of zerg rush. With no one to back them up, they are bound to fuck up. It's not like they didn't prove it recently.
Lenin was the leader at that time
They didn't defeat nothing the red army almost took warsaw and that was while they were having a civil war i mean that actually was kinda poor from Poland almost losing to a state that is fighting itself
You apparently read these amazing tales in the same place where it is written that the Ukrainians are the most ancient nation who are the ancestors of the Sumerians and Egyptians, and the Ukrainians dug out the Black Sea and gave the Sumerians writing, gave the world a wheel and built the Pyramids.
@@lordphebstream9319 No more absurd than the stories of Ukraine, Belarus, Baltics being an "ancient part of Russia", while the word Russia came into being only in 1548...
I worked with the Polish Army in Bosnia-Herzigovina and I observed the Russians there as well. The Polish Airborne are tough as woodpecker lips. Poland is tougher than people think, and they are very professional.
But they are gay as many europeans that what make them weak they rather have sex than train.
@@user-is5rn5bw5j grow a brain
I like how the military analysts changed from "Could Europe stand up to Russia" to "Would Russia stand a chance of defeating a particular country"
It's pretty funny, really. Time and time again since WWII the Russians have shown themselves to be all bluster and no substance. While simultaneously demanding respect for their expansionist "bring back the USSR" bullshit.

Ja tez.
I hope one day you could choose to move back to Poland and have a great life here.
We need a better govt, though.
Polish morale? I can tell you that the Poles would fight the Russians to the death even if they only had sharpened spoons as weapons. The UK and US would come to their aid with everything they could give. For the UK the Poles are very highly regarded from WWII days and the US has a large immigrant minority. The Germans have guilt as a motive and the French have deep historical links to the country.
Seeing what Ukraine has been given, I can't even imagine what Poland would be given. If NATO didn't get involved they would prob still have the entire NATO arsenal at their disposal along with hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people signing up to join the polish armed forces
What’s more important with Germany: Poland is actually a formal ally meaning that weapons shipments aren’t inhibited by internal procedures like they are with Ukraine which does not have any form of alliance with Germany. Poland also has the infrastructure and Networks to operate NATO equipment(to their fullest extend of effectiveness), which Ukraine still lacks.

Could you link me to where Binkov said in 2017 that Russia could conquer most of Europe? I'm interested to see that.
CAPABLE - check the meaning
And yes, even today Russia is CAPABLE of doing that
Almost every military analyst in the world have had their estimates of Russian power adjusted by orders of magnitude this year.
@@ennui9745
-Europe- NATO couldn't even conquer Kosovo or Kabul.
You clearly underestimate Polands military power , their mentality and most importantly history. If Russia would take a step into Poland they would face within hours an army almost as big as Poland population. There is a reason why Polish people don't like foreigners. Don't forget the inner hate against Russia because of history that is in almost every Pole deep inside just waiting...To be honest we don't like/liked People from Ukraine either because of history but there is nothing we hate more than Russia because of its actions. That's why we help Ukraine with military equipment while supporting and accepting refugees from Ukraine. We know how it is being under Russian occupation. We don't want anyone to have that experience.
You went from making videos about Russia Vs the rest of Europe to Russia Vs Poland within a couple of years. What a difference Ukraine has made
Yeah I remember the Russia VS Europe Video. Seems so laughable these days.
Russia vs Europe was army vs army and no US help involved .
In Ukraine there was a general mobilization vs 1/5 of the Russian army. Plus Ukrainians received enormous help from the West.
Whitout the western weapons, training, advisors/commanders and intelligence data, Ukraine would have been conquered by now and would have fought just some gorilla battles against the Russians.
@@user-ju2tn4pj5y totalnie agree, russia would have a chance if Ukraine wasn't so well armed and lead into battle, if Ukrainians wouldn't fight, and wouldn't be much better trained, if russia wasn't one drunk joke with fake equipment, low morale, no economy, if russia wouldn't overestimate its power and underestimate Ukraine, if russia wouldn't make hundreds of dumb mistakes that every child can see - that war would be different!
Yeah Ukraine shows that Russia is not that strong as it's stereotypes.
@@user-ju2tn4pj5y point is Russia is so weak it has issues dealing with western backed poorest nation in Europe. Is west helping? Yes but it’s moderate weapons. US is sending its smallest and least capable rockets for Ukraine the rest are generic artillery and some older armor. Russia is still using huge parts of its best weapons including t90, Iskander, cruise missile strikes from ships and planes and STILL getting pushed back. So imagine if Russia had to actually fight real NATO military with long range rockets, cruise missiles and a legit airforce and navy and a properly trained infantry with high tech equipment.
Very big difference between Poland and Ukraine would be population behavior. Polish civilians would be extremely hostile towards Russians from hour one of the attack. Russians would have to constanly guard literaly everything with big amount of troops which they dont have.
I will tell you a secret: Russia has a population of 155 million people, an army of over 1.5 million and a military reserve of over 30 million.
We Russians wouldn’t give a damn about the mood of the Poles, we wouldn’t take care of the civilian population of Poland, they are not brothers for us because Ukrainians, so if necessary, we would simply turn all the cities into ruins and destroy everything in our path, as this makes the US in Libya. We would not stand on ceremony and try to protect those who are opposed to us. If the Polish government did not evacuate civilians from the war zone or this civilian decided to fight - it will be destroyed from the air and wiped off the face of the earth if necessary. Therefore, let them pray to their masters across the ocean that this would not happen to them.

@@skyrider6772 L bozo 1920
@@skyrider6772 LOL! Your comment only shows how simple minded you are. Goebbels propaganda going strong in 2022.
This scenario is inherently flawed, because it disregards logistics. Russian logistics in Ukraine are very bad, and that's with them having access to Ukraine from three sides and having direct access from Russia. Russian logistics in Poland would be abysmal. Remember the battle of Kyiv? Imagine that, but MUCH WORSE. I would be surprised if Russia could deploy half the troops they deployed against Ukraine. So from day one, they would be in a heavy numerical disadvantage. And that's day one. In a month, Belarussian railway network wouldn't be functional due to bombings, meaning all the Russian troops would have to retreat or get destroyed due to simply not having ammo, food, fuel and so on.
And reinforcing Kaliningrad? Nope. You would have to be completely incompetent to do that. Which of course means Russia would probably do it, but it would only lead to much higher casualties on their part. Why? Because Kaliningrad cannot be supplied if Poland is willing to shoot to prevent that from happening. Every single ship they send will get sunk long before it reaches the port, with Russia not being able to do anything to prevent that. Meaning all the forces in Kaliningrad will be worse than useless a week from the beginning of the war.
Attacking Poland would be even more of an embarassment to Russia than attacking Ukraine was. With Ukraine, Russia will just lose in a year or two and then retreat back to Russia. With Poland, Russia would lose in months and forever lose an important part of their territory.
i dont think its the point, rather an interesting hypothetical we can discuss. It has obvious logical flaws the channel is probably well aware of
@@kmriifps But that's not the point. I can accept the premise of a fictional world where Poland isn't in NATO and just gets the same support Ukraine did. That's the hypothetical part, allowing you to discuss this. But assuming Russia would magic supplies out of thin air makes this completely nonsensical.
@@matejsochor1673 the video did not take into consideration any hypotheticals like morale or issues they have had, only numbers from paper no? anyway you do have a strong point and i agree, i merely wanted to point out the purpose i understand in the video
Missed point is that Russian logistics is rail based, while Polish rail is... incompatible.
@@kmriifps And if he showed the two armies in a featureless arena and discussed the scenario on that basis, it would be completely fine. But he talked about terrain and took into consideration some ways it would shape the conflict. What I object to is cherrypicking what influences of geography the scenario considers and what it doesn't. That's what turns it from a hypothetical scenario to a nonsensical one.
The map is wrong . Kaliningrad is now part of Czech Republic and is called Kralovec. There was a referendum and 97 % voted for leaving Russia. I am proud of my 17 votes in referendum.
30 here :)
NCD sends it's regards.
🥱 The difference is people actually wanted to join Russia whether you think the vote is legitimate or not. Even western public opinion polls in Crimea, and Donbas have showed that they did not want to be part of Ukraine. After the crimes Ukraine has committed since the war began in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia it’s not like there was no one who wanted to join Russia.
In Kaliningrad no one wants to be part of Czechia. Whether or not some minority would want to leave Russia fucking no one wants to join Czechia.
@@TheGrindcorps Then how can u explain the enormous amount of partisan activities in Zaporiznha and Kherson? A lot of collaboratos were killed, same for russian officials. There were fights even in the streets of Kherson and there is an official partisan movement in those territories

@@anasqader3851 They do tactical maneuvers for last 20 years or so, even more often after 2016. Also about 50.000 active served in middle east conflicts for over a decade if you dont know.
It doesn’t matter if statistically speaking for the last 1000 years either your father or his father was involved in military operation of some sort , the nations military traditions and historical remembrance passed from gen to gen imbues their blood . They say in Poland that once great Muslim kings and than Napoleon , Hitler and than Stalin were trying to take over that country but never succeeded, do you even for a second think that Volodia would ? Judging by the historical data and the simple fact that the country is called Poland and it is 90% populated by polish People speaking 100 % Polish language here in 2022 I must conclude that Russia neither in this shape or any other can really threaten poles what so ever
15:55 I think there's more historic and cultural animosity between Poland and Russia than between Ukraine and Russia. Ukrainians and Russians both have Orthodox background while Poles are Catholics. Poles and Russians have had more wars between them than Ukrainians and Russians throughout history. Poles very much still remember Katyn, the horrible crimes Red Army soldiers committed against Polish civilians during WW2 and the Soviet communist puppet regime that held power in Poland for almost half a century .
Катынь помните, а на жертв Волыни удобно забыли. Какие вы лицемерные и мерзкие поляки.
NATO aside, I think Poland would always receive more help, quicker than Ukraine did. Purely because of the symbolism of yet another aggressor rolling into Poland.
@gerald kelly Well not the Nazis of the 20C anyway. Some of the POWs coming back from Russia remind me a lot of WWII pictures of concentration camp prisoners though.
@gerald kelly according to russians Poles are nazis as well.
@gerald kelly what exactly does that mean? Poland was attacked/occupied by the commies too.
Symbolism... cute and romantic. Like a Hollywood movie. Nobody would/gonna help. Everybody is gonna wait and see how much we can stop the red wave. Like the partition of Poland, the bolshevik war, ww2 and the communist occupation, everybody is gonna watch. And NATO, specially the U.S r just here for business. Showing u.s. corporates, that they have control over the situation (protect Mc Donalds, raw materials and the rest of the american capital), but in reality they (Pentagon) even want to provoke the bear. They luv to fight russia not on u.s. ground. They never did. America need war, good for the billions of taxmoney for army and own pocket. Lloyd Austin, secretary of "defense" and weapon lobbyist (Raytheon, among other things) is helping as much as he can. Like always we are on our own

Naw realistically they would argue in parliament for 3 months, before they decide they need to procure a new army uniform, delaying invasion plans for 2 years, before cancelling the entire plan because their chancellor was replaced.
To win against russia, Poland only needs someone to watch over the Germans so that they don't stab us in the back 😉we've been playing this game for 1000 years 😁
I'm not a German, so my opinion really doesn't count, but I doubt that Germans would do anything if some Polish women fled the war to Germany.
Todays Russia is not same as medieval times. It’s far stronger.
Poland would turn on 1610 mode and get moscow with Lithuania
But "Dymitriady" had happened over 90 years before that in 1604-1610 , the PLC was weaker in the 1700 due to many wars and bad internal decisions on the nobilitys bad decision making, which lead to the PLCs dissolusion and the partitions of it

If Russia invades Poland, whole first week of the war is Poland figuring out how to run a lottery to see which army units gets to be the first to enter Moscow at the start of the second week. Only real strategic difficulty for Poland is coordinating so that all 38 million volunteers don't try to take Moscow at the same time.

By 2027, with 366 Abrams, 260 K2s, 249 Leopard 2s, Poland will have the most potent armored force in Europe.
With SPHs in number of 104 AHS Krab, 212 K9A1, 111 Dana and 122 Rak, also with MLRS in number of 20 (at least, new order is being prepared) Himars, 75 WR-40 and other systems, Poland will have the most powerful artillery force in Europe.
With five divisions and increasingly growing number of soldiers, Poland will have one of the most numerous armed forces in Europe.
Additionally, with 3-4% GDP spend on military, with growing capabilities of Polish defence industry, with modernised air force of 48 F-16, 32 F-35, 48 FA-50PLs, I dare to say Poland will have the second most powerful army in Europe.

I mean I know Mr. Putin is pretty bad but I still think this is not something he would have wanted to do since he waited all this long without such thing
But Lukashenko I'm sure fits very well to make war escalade and russia take the blame for the start of it and I'm sure he can't wait to enter on a full war cause it's what he has been preparing the whole time.
This video is hideously inaccurate for many reasons:
1 - Mentioned NLAWs and Javelins being in greater number for Ukraine before war. Because they were DONATED right before it. Same would happen for Poland.
2 - Totally ignored that Belarus' logistics were screwed up, meaning relying ENTIRELY on them for 180k men would be a disaster.
3 - Somehow failed to realise that attacking into an encircled small point is a REALLY BAD IDEA for Russia when facing vastly better things like PGMs and modern MBTs.
4 - You really REALLY underestimate just how frenzied the Poles can get when it comes to this. There'd be millions of volunteers on day 1.

Ukraine was preparing to the war with Russia since 2014. That preparations were supported by US, UK and Poland if not by the whole NATO. Imagine what Poland with such support would do during 8 years! To understand that more just have a look on the decisions made during the last 6 months: more modern tanks, more artillery systems, more air defence, more planes, more helicopters, etc, etc… Russia would be fucked up…
Ukraine received no lethal aid from the west after 2014 to the invasion. If the west had armed Ukraine in 2014, the invasion this year would never have happened
Let's compare Poland to Ukraine:
- Poland has better, more advance NATO-standard equipment, Ukraine did not.
- Poland has anti-missile defense such as Patriot
- Poland has well trained and motivated troops from the get go.
- Poland has NATO level command and communication systems
- Poland has much stronger air force with F-16
- Poland would not let Russians in, but defend on the border
- Polish commanders would not betray and let russians in like the south of Ukraine.
- Polish border is full of forests, hard to pass by heavy equipment.
- Krabs
- Poland has NATO/US bases on its territory
- NATO support would be quicker
- Also and arsenal of Pioruns, which decimated russian air force is already present.
This would be quick war resulting in total Russian defeat.
All true, except that NATO would be virtually ALL IN, not just more support.
in this scenerio nato is GB 1939 like :) but this off only 2 last point
All the consideration, including those made in the video don't make any sense:
- Russia has way more soldiers
- way more weapon (one billion times more money being spent on it). Let's say tanks: Poland has 797, Russia had more than 13000.
- easy-conquarable geography.
Without nato, external help and nukes, only two countries may confront Russia: the USA and China. Albeit it seems difficult to imagine the states and NATO separatly, as well as to dig down into such unrealistic battles.
@@veirant5004 I know you negated NATO, but that wouldn't be the reality...so, yeah, NATO spends 15X what Russia does on defense. The US alone makes up 11:1 of that.
And you want to talk numbers? The US has more Cobra helicopters, ONE TYPE, than Russia has of all types in total. And the US tech is FARRR more advanced. Russia can't even build a 150 mile range crapolla drone.
Also China is not remotely as capable as the US. They are still trying to get to the point of being able to fight only in their little corner of the world, where the US smashed TWO enemies (with help on the European side) on opposite sides of the globe almost 100 years ago, simultaneously. Enter reality, dude.
And Russia only spent 15X what UKRAINE spent, and they are a VERY poor country. Russia's GDP is nineteenth in the world, and about 1/14th of the US.
Last, but not least, the Russian army has been DECIMATED, both in REAL soldiers, not drunken morons sent from tending bar, and weaponry. They are sending in tanks that go so slowly that they actually sped up the video so people wouldn't laugh, guns that are so damned rusty they would NEVER fire once, and a lot more truly laughable stuff. On one the slide would only go about 1/3 of the way back, so you couldn't even CHAMBER a round, let alone fire it.
They have adapted naval missiles for land use, and their close in ammo depots seem to be going up like fireworks at Disney. When the dumbass Russians move them further back, I expect the US will just send in TACAMS (a next to the bottom weapon of that type) and end those as well. For the life of me, I don't know why we haven't sent in a couple of Tomahawks to end a span or two of that Russia to Crimea bridge...we would have if I'd had the call.
They TRULY ARE, by every parameter that matters, the number two military in Ukraine, as Ukraine is taking back ground fast than the Russians have EVER taken it since about the end of the first month. And the first month they were facing unarmed babies and babushkas, mostly. Russia is a joke, plain and simple, just laughing stock, and I hope the Ukrainians kill every damned invading (and collaborating) Russian in Ukraine that doesn't run away and leave, which they are getting pretty good at, I must admit.
@@veirant5004 Russia only has stats on paper.
Where are those 13k tanks? Useless junk.
More soldiers? We have more potatoes on fields which have comparable military value to russian 'soldiers'. How did that quantity advantage work for them in Ukraine?
More weapons? Are you talking about those missiles that fail 70% of the time and only 5 % reaches 1km within the vicinity of the target. Dream on. Throwing more stones or sticks won't give them an advantage.
Geography isn't great but it's way more defendable than what Ukraine has and Russia failed there hard.
Russia would fail hard against UK, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, Japan, Izrael, Saudi Arabia, India.
This scenario is very unrealistic. 1. Poland would not be attacked if Russia would not take Ukraine and the Baltics in the first place. 2. If Poland would be attacked, then Russia would have to fight with Ukraine at the same time (without Poland, Ukraine would be almost helpless). Belarus would risk attack from Ukraine and Baltics 3. There is no way to attack Poland without longer preparation which will be visible a long time before the attack. It would give Poland and NATO time to prepare. 4. Poland would have much bigger support from NATO including modern tanks, artillery, planes, etc. 5. NATO has very strong airpower so Poland would not only fight on its territory but also attack logistic lines (which are very long) in Belarus. I think that logistic lines and military airports in Belarus and Kaliningrad would be destroyed in the first weeks of the war. Sometime after the start of the war, it would be continued mostly on Belarus territory. The biggest risk would be for Belarus in this case, because it would be completely destroyed and Lukaszenka would lose his country. 6. In the end, there would be many casualties, the risk of nuclear war, Russia would risk losing Kaliningrad, and Lukaszenka would risk losing his country. 7. The conclusion: it is better not to even think about attacking Poland, there is no way that Russia and especially Belarus would have benefited from it, only loses.

The thing is... Making an educated guess just has to be made based on what's on paper. And Russia just hide how many of their systems actually work.
You may have missed how north-east part of Poland is fuuuuull of lakes - small ones, but hundreds of them. Advances from Kaliningrad (sorry, Kralovec ;) ) would be thus very, very limited. And from the eastern side - from Belarus - there is a lot of swamps, forests etc. So any infantry/mechanized movements would be easy to stall. Considering your scenario - such war would rather look like a war of who has more long-range missiles/better anti-air protection. Furthermore - while Ukraine had some problems with collaborants, in here - Polish langauge is soo different, that any saboteurs would be easy to find. About morale - we absolutely hate russists, so it is likely many orcs would be found dead after drinking poisoned vodka etc... Interesting thought-experiment as such, but it deserves much more aspects to consider :)

NATO didn't lose the war per se. It failed to create a state and stomp out Taliban and ISIS forces who hid among the civilians and never surrendered. This meant that NATO would have to have fougth an eternal war in Afghanistan which wouldn't happen. Ergo they bailed out and lost that way. But militarily it wasn't a loss.
Also how are the Russians faring well?! They have lost almost all of their good troops, they are trying to McGyver old tanks to the front, they have lost large territories, and now they are celebrating taking a town with heavy casualties!

Couple of points. Ukraine, when it was attacked by Russia was in an shooting war with the invader for 8 years. So the numbers of Poland vs Ukraine don't quite stack up. If Russia was attacking Poland for 8 years, you can bet their army would be bigger. Also... Poland would not stop at Russian borders... They would AGAIN go all the way to Moscow. Historically, Poland was the only nation that defeated and HELD (albeit only for 3 years) Moscow.
pretty sure poland will get nuked so hard if they try to invade moscow again
A good achievement, but Mongols held it for 300 years.
@@animenation5324 Mongols came at Russia when they were separated intact moscow wasn’t even a capital at that time They grew under the Mongols not before
Whenever I look at these simulations I see that they are comparing numbers here and forgetting about certain conditions that are not described anywhere in popular part of the internet. A couple of examples. 1. Poland has, in addition to the reserves mentioned in the movie, about 300 thousand people who received training before compulsory military service was abolished. These are people who now have local assignments in strategic places and there are "lockers" with weapons and full equipment waiting for them in case of mobilization (I have one myself). These are people of about 35-45 years of age. They can be ready to fight in 1 day. You get a call and have a couple of hours to check in. They may not be professionals, but everyone knows how to handle weapons, shoot, knows the basic tactical behaviour. Everyone forgets/doesn't know about that.
2. terrain and specifics of the "Suwalski region". (This is the terrain exactly where the Russian assault would have to take place. To the northeast) Does not allow for practical any progress of heavy equipment in this area. There are forests, marshes, lakes and practically zero roads (this is a deliberate measure). Please see for yourself at least a lidar map. This terrain is a nightmare for the attacker. And the Polish defense will be in preemptive positions to obliterate everything in there.
I could give a few more examples but it misses the point under a video of this type. Regards.

True, but NATO will be there for you. We learned from ‘39 and we can come to your aid quickly and efficiently. The USA and all the West sends it admiration and support.
Poland would pummel the hell out of Russia. They train their asses off and are constantly modernizing. Sourcing tanks from South Korea, airframes from the U.S. etc. In the U.S. military we know how capable the Poles are.
@@miguelservetus9534 It was not fault of the West in 1939. In 1939 alies sadly did not have possibility to help Poland, but today it is absolutly diffrent situation.
Yeah it's really hard to imagine a scenario where Poland gets attacked and the Baltic states sit on their ass doing nothing. Granted, the Baltic states are small and insignificant, but they would stretch the front line and divert of lot of the Russian troops.
Ukraine would be a guarantee, the baltics would follow the larger countries. France would appease putin and try to suck up to Russia like it’s done with Ukraine, Germany would panic they’ve depleted their military and are dependant on Russian energy and It would once again be down to the British and Americans to lead and arm Poland to the teeth

@@hashtagunderscore3173 more like 20 wars/conflicts between Poland and Russia
Yes - we can be friendly to each other as our cultures are reasonably similar, but once we start talking about history and geopolitics then we are more likely to kill each other than to agree on anything. I know actual stories of Poles who were threaten with knife by Russians for accusing them of invasion and occupation of Poland. Russian see Poles as ungraceful traitors. I wouldn't be surprised if there are less pro-Russian Poles right now than pro-Russian Ukrainians.The numbers are probably comparable in ~5% range. And there is certainly many, many times more pro-Ukrainian Russians that pro-Polish Russians.
Several factors will be in place here.
Yes the Ukrainian army was somewhat larger at the beginning of the war but they had to deal with a border at least three times the size (if you add Belarus) of Poland on three different avenues of approach. Russia has essentially one major avenue of approach through Belarus. The Poles would have to hold a few troops to the north to guard against any incursion from Kaliningrad but the Russians would have trouble putting extra troops in there early without giving the Poles warning. The border between Poland and Belarus is about 420 miles. This would be the main area that the Russians would attack and the main area that the Poles would concentrate from. One thing you haven't taken into account is the need for the Ukrainians to protect against seaborn assault to the south. With the exception of the small area around Kaliningrad (which would be difficult to reinforce) and Belarus the rest of the border of Poland would be secure. The Poles could move everything to where the Russians are attacking knowing that there was no fear of some kind of flank attack.
Most of the much more modern Leopard 2s and PT 91s would be there to meet Russian Armor. The Polish infantry is much better trained and more proficient than the partially trained militias the Russians met with at the beginning of the war. While the militias reaped havoc on a lot of the follow on units in the initial Russian assault the front line units would be much more capable of going toe to toe with the initial Russian thrusts. While Russian artillery fire might prove more effective the assault would also cost a lot more Russian lives.
The infrastructure is much better in Poland. It would be a lot easier to move Polish troops to trouble spots due to better road networks and rail lines than what you see in Belarus. It is highly unlikely the Russians would see any more success against the Polish Air Force than it did against the Ukrainians, especially since the Poles have a much more modern air force and it will know exactly which direction the Russians will be coming from. Short of violating Lithuanian and Ukrainian air space, which would probably get some of the Russian planes shot down en route everything will have to fly in over that 420km front. Most Simply put the Poles could move their air assets back west of Wroclaw and then fly sortie after sortie as the US and NATO tell them every Russian flight inbound. I suspect more than a few AWACS would be airborne outside of Russian fighter intercept range giving the Poles exact information where and when to expect the Russian air force.
The Poles HATE the Russians. There is no part of Poland that has pro Russian sympathies. The biggest advantage the Russians had in Ukraine was support in several areas from the local population. You touched on this with the militias in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk provinces but none of that will be available for troops moving into Poland. Every inch will be contested by locals. There will be absolutely no support what so ever and this will make every bit of movement difficult, especially if the Russians screw up and allow all the Poles the opportunity to put every single thing they see on the internet.
Poland directly borders multiple NATO countries. Even if Poland wasn't a member of NATO in this scenario they are right next to Germany the Czech republis and Slovakia. Anything that the Poles would need could be trucked directly in. Since Poland operates the Leopard 2 there wouldn't be a training issue like the Ukrainians have had. In fact, you could probably hand just about every piece of equipment to the Poles and they could use it almost immediately.
In the end the Poles would throw the Russians back and probably would take Kaliningrad and possibly driven as far as some of the 1945 border areas in Belarus. If you had posted this before the Russian attack in Ukraine I might have thought differently but as badly as they performed there and are still performing has convinced me that a truly modern force, with motivation, would slaughter the Russian forces.
You've massively underestimated Poland.
Short answer. If Poland was invaded it would trigger article 5 of nato.
It's not considering N.A.T.O.
I am curious as to how your future videos involving what ifs with Russia go now that they have been exposed as lackluster at best
Parade Army is the word you looking for.
eeehhhh these days I would bet on Poland.
Russia is mostly a meme now.
Guess we're about to find out....
Poland: Ah shit, here we go again...
This is a certified Article 5 moment
From my thoughts - Couple caveats:
1) It's really understated in the video how big of a difference NATO-standardised army is in this scenario. Help would not only be quicker because of Polish know how to operate and service NATO equipment (from tanks to small arms ammo), but:
- Polish battle management systems are already integrated with NATO AWACS, so help from them would be much more direct
- Polish F-16s being American made can shoot whole array of western munitions. From AMRAAMs (air to air) all the way to JASSMs (long range missile)
2) Poland being part of EU and more western economy is deeply connected with for example german one. Therefore Bundestag (and also French government) would not hesistate as much pressing "screw business with Russia, full support" button
3) Logistics is really hard to quantify and I'm not surprised it's not that covered in the video, but important thing is a railway gauge. Ex-Soviet states has gauge incompatibile with European ones, therefore moving supplies in and out by rail much more difficult, not to mention making it easier for Russia. Here the situation is reversed. You can drive a train straight from station near Ramstein base all the way to Suwałki corridor without stops (assuming some operational route)
4) Remember, Ukraine have seen it coming and changed their military completely. I'm 100% sure that hostilities would not start suddenly and in leading month Poland would put military as a number 1 priority getting every equipment our GDP can buy - with prioritised queue because of an imminent threat. I'm pretty sure we'd have operational F-35s at the start of this (and man they would change things, especially in the air)
This is exactly what I was thinking too. The US would be able to resupply Poland with more equipment since they're all a part of NATO and mostly use the same stuff, unlike the Ukrainians, who are still using old Soviet weapons six months into the war. Your point about Germany is a bit sketchy though, I'm not sure how much 'German support' does for anybody considering how pathetically tiny and underfunded their military is.
@@karenwang313 the German army has more and more advanced functional equipment then Poland. It’s only pathetic in relation to how much money is poured into it
@@karenwang313 German army is no that revelant to why I brought them. Because obvious geography they would have to be what Poland is for Ukraine (apart from enormous military aid) - mainly logistical hub for stuff moving in and first shelter for people moving out. These things can not be overstated.
Therefore their approach would matter. A lot.
