"that it would stand a chance against NATO." They do as long as NATO doesn't intervene. I wish this was sarcasm but the fact is that should Ukraine fold because it alone is bearing the burden of the ruSSian aggression (to remind, ruSSia has a +100 million larger population and has no regard for human live, including their own) than that would be an enormous defeat for NATO, the EU, international law and any decent country.
@@phild3936I am deeply disappointed that a coalition was not established to help Ukraine defend their country. We should have drawn a line in the sand so to speak, and that would have allowed Ukrainians to focus on pushing out the intruders while coalition forces stood guard over the rest of the country. I think this would have brought the war to a quick resolution, instead hundreds of thousands of lives have been senselessly lost because the world stood by and watched a bully beat up on a weaker kid. Just look at how things were handled when Kuwait was invaded, Iraq was given an ultimatum and then they were shown how the pimp hand strong.
@@phild3936 i dont completely ignore the argument that Russia wants Ukraine because it didnt want a Nato alliance on its border that is 10 times its size. russia could actually be afraid of a Nato aligned Ukraine and thats why they are doing what they are doing. Also for political survival they dont want a Ukraine with western liberal democracy on their border.
Nothing can stop me from supporting Ukraine financially, especially when I see the multiplier effect this has had. That this way, we are defending ourselves not only against Putin, but also against Orbán, Vučič, Xi, Kim at the same time.
You live in some kind of dystopia where leaders who prefer to look after their people's interests rather than sending weapons to some land in eastern Europe are an existential threat to you and your peaceful way of life, when they are someone you shouldn't care about. That's really worrying. Orban is a democratically elected European leader of a developing country member of both EU and NATO, and Vucic is a president of a country that has ongoing negotiations on joining the EU - they're both as western as can be yet there's you.
@@TikhonT. Look at his avatar. Czechia is Eastern (Central) Europe. What are you on about? Russia has murdered Czech people 10 years ago, when they blew up ammo depot there. As a bonus Czechia got to the 2nd place on the Russian OFFICIAL list of enemy countries. Looking after your own people in a Eastern/Central European country means making sure that Russia is never again powerful enough to control the country.
@@TikhonT. I'm local to both countries. You are a troll and dystopia is on your side. This is why: In both cases it started with democratically elected leaders. While Hungary is currently a black sheep EU member, thanks to Orban's populism, Serbia is a black sheep candidate country with no access to EU in a foreseeable future, thanks to Vucic's populism, since he has learned a lot from Milosevic where he gained his alter name, "little Milosevic". They both openly favor Russia/Putin and China/Xi and sheepishly comply to EU policy behind the courtain. My insider story: while Orban didn't veto any Russian sanctions imposed by EU, Vucic is secretly sending weapons to Ukraine to get money from EU access funds and move forward the EU access chapters every time people get annoyed by his presence.
@@TikhonT.Have you heard about how Czechia has been abandoned twice last century, when enemy tanks overran their country? They know what it feels like to be abandoned. They will not let Ukraine stand alone This person is not someone YOU should worry about: he does not live in your country. Neither do I....
People (me included) are terrified when they show WW1 soldiers charging over no-mans-land into machine gun fire. I cannot imagine how you feel when you are sitting in an outdated IFV charging alone over a flat, mined field. Horrible.
At least the ww1 soldier noticed he was about to die. The vintage IFV crew gets in the vehicle, starts driving, then seize to exist. It is like dying on the Titan sub.
It's interesting you mention WW1, I have had exactlt the same thought. Have you ever read "Goodbye to all that" by Robert Graves. He describes how the terror changes your blood. He wrote that when soldiers started to lose their minds they would take reckless risks, which he wrote was a 1 in 50 risk of dying. These Russians (and probably Ukrainians too) are launching themselves at the front with 25/50% risk, it's incredible, and horrific. I cannot imagine what their frames of minds must be. We are watching an industrial death machine at work and people are running into the furnace.

Of those mines the russians find, I wonder how many have been put there by the Ukrainians and how many are friendly mines from the russians themselves?
2+ years into the war the losses are staggering how long will Russian soldiers just keep going to their deaths pointlessly. I thought there would have been a revolt by now. Is there no self preservation at all on their minds ?
Sadly the answer to your last question is No. Which means there is no limit to your first question, and they will never revolt, nor will the civilian population as they never hear the truth and dismiss anything from the west as propaganda.
A major part of the problem is the total control putler has over russian media. The propaganda outlets keep claiming that russia is being attacked, that russia is fighting a holy war to defend themselves, that people in the democratic developed countries are evil, and so on. While one motto some 80 years ago was "Alles für's Vaterland", many russians now believe they are fighting for their Motherland, while in reality they are fighting for the stupidity and small penile size of putler.

He better because one wonders if anyone actually tells him the truth. Because the reality is that when RU has to advance with only golf carts and motorbikes unsupported by armout then, in that specific sector RU has effectively already "run-out of armour". Irrespective of what is still parked up rotting behind the Urals...
Funny but true. Ivan is paranoid by nature and at some point they’re going to start to question if they have enough armor to defend the rodina, of course the west is not going to launch an invasion but they still need to be prepared but the war in Ukraine is rapidly depleting their inventory meanwhile Ukrainian forces keep getting more and more equipment much of which is more advanced and capable than what they started with. It’s not sustainable for the orcs
"How many does it take for the guy in charge to think 'Maybe this isn't working'?" Consider this anecdote: 5 years ago, a clever guy of my acquaintance was making not far from $1k/day playing online poker. (And I saw personally the results of his shopping trips with the loot obtained.) When I asked his secret, he replied that he played only against suspected Russians, only in western Russia evening hours: _Russians, he said, always bluff and never fold._ This pursuit was so wildly successful, and for that reason took up so much of his time, that I soon had to alert him to the fact that one of his eyes was going googly. (He had no idea.) I demanded he start taking more breaks. Last I saw of him, months later, he was off with his new Swiss watch and bulging wallet for fun and games in NYC. (By this time both his eyes were once again pointing in the same direction.)
Russia's battlefield tactics look more and more like my shitty Arma3 scenarios. I always thought I was making unrealistic garbage with stupid AI. Turns out Russia's army is also stupid garbage.
The bots, the Vatniks and the non-critial thinkers thinkers will tell you Russia has an unlimited supply of armored vehicles and other war materiel. However they ignore the use of Chinese dune buggies, golf carts and motorcycles all of which are poor substitutes. The exhaustion of effective Russian equipment explains Putin's interest in ceasefire and "peace plans".
Check-out Covert Cabal's videos using private purchased satellite imagery to estimate Russia's post-Soviet armor reserves and their draw-down rates. Fascinating stuff! TL;DR: Putin has maybe a year of tanks left, and only 2-3 before he's also out of self-propelled and even *towed* artillery. It cannot be overstated how big of a catastrophe this is for Russia, or for any nation. To paraphrase John Oliver, this is "Stupid Barbarossa".
Operator Starsky and Covert Cabal both have videos recently on that. Russia basically has until the middle to end of next year before they’re effectively “out” of good vehicles. They can still drag out the conflict a couple years more but that’s pretty much the limit of their stockpile and offensives won’t really be possible at that point.
@@cubefreak123 That may be true regarding military vehicles. Another issue is how long putler will be able to suppress a growing number of russians who are unhappy with the situation and would like to say a few words if they have a chance to do that. I expect that some information leaking out to the russian people some time will lead to unexpected reactions. It will be interesting to see what comes first: - russia runs out of war material - russia is forced out of Ukraine - Palace revolution in kremlin - Popular revolution in russia, maybe starting in the outskirts

Непісьменная пісулька на беларускай мове, у якой мясцовыя кіраўнікі скардзіліся на страшэнны голад у сваім раёне: “На гэтых днях (2 чэрвеня) меў мейсца з рада вон выходзячы факт: гр. в.

Такі жудасны факт прыводзілі нараўлянскія начальнікі і слёзна заканчвалі сваё пасланне: “Без сур’ёзнай дапамогі рэспубліканскага цэнтру абысціся не зможам”. "Такое ж бядотнае становішча было і ў суседнім Ельскім раёне, аб чым чэкісты рапартавалі ў Менск.

Still we have to give the muscovians "credit" for having been able to make russia the largest country in the world, through an endless series of invasions, occupations, genocides, suppression and russification. You have left out a few russian "successes". Some that come to my mind: - The russians and the Nazis defeated Poland together in 1939 (But this can be seen as part of WW2) - The russians won the second Chechen war 2000-2009 by bombing Grozny to rubble and mass murdering Chechens - The russians won a few wars together with cooperation partners in Vietnam, North Korea, Ethiopia and Somalia, creating dystopian dictatorships There are several wars involving russia beyond list you show here.
If Chechnya won, it would have become independent, Chechnya lost to Russia both times, a lot of things are wrong in your list, you have to look at the list of the USA, hollywood army were only able to win wars with Russia, after 1945 Hollywood Army lost all wars , And the USA always has tens of countries behind it, while Russia always fights alone
Believe not for the very obvious reasons in that often men are spearated from mobile devices and effectively all civvie comms. They are, as noted here by @fabianschrotter just fed a diet of propaganda. Recent reports show that voluntarily the RU frontliners now have no interest in this knowing it to be false.
It is easily done. On some pro Russian channels the hate speech was evil after the Kievchildrens hospital horror. All were left up. A comment saying never forget what Russia has done was removed as hate speech. :(
The YT shadowbans have been a thing now for more than a year. The russian bot army furiously false reports anyone who makes them cry and so those accounts get automoderated permanently into limboland.
If you look at the Oryx figures, it's usually somewhere between 3-6 tanks per day destroyed, some others listed as abandoned, then about 2-3 times that of other IFVs, then that again in "soft" vehicles. What gets me is these are accurate figures. These are visually, individually, independently-confirmed numbers, not some made-up, inflated, or mathematically guesstimated list that you would see in previous wars. Which means these are probably the low-minimum of what is being lost.
Perhaps someone had told the ruzzians that there was an abandoned washing machine up for grabs? In they all went, no risk too great! After all, it's a washing machine!
Thank you for the update. At what point do the troops begin to realize their command structure is incompetent? At what do senior commanders realize their subordinates are incompetent? At what poimt do they all realize Putin is am idiot?
These are very good questions. If anybody can give a precise answer to that now, I will be surprised. russians are not allowed to criticise putler and his fascist army. But there must be a growing number of people thinking along the lines you mention, although silently. I think of this as a bubble that will burst some time, but I don't know how and I don't know when, maybe three weeks or maybe three years from now.

backgound : После 2-й Мировой войны 10-мильонная Белaрусь 🏳❤🏳 не досчиталась около 3-х мильонов своих жителей, однако околь 2-х миллионов были убиты еще до войны органами коммунистического НКВД. В Беларуси физически уничтожили 70 процентов всех белaруских писателей, убили ученых и художников. (Труппа Третьего Белорусского Государственного театра Владислава Голубка была арестована в полном составе. Почти все были расстреляны.) Убивали по национальному признаку. Ради этого был придуман ярлык "нацдем" (это значит -- национальный демократ, хотя такой партии не существовало). Этот ярлык приклеивали ко всем белорусам, которых сталинисты планировали уничтожить. В недрах НКВД была придумана несуществующая антикоммунистическая организация СВБ ("союз освобождения Белaруси"). Под придуманный фантом энкавэдисты проводили аресты, вели воображаемое следствие, допрашивали, пытали, судили, потом ссылали в paсeю и расстреливали невинных людей. После Рижского сговора в 1921 году Беларусь разделили между Польшей и paсeей. Границу раздела провели недалеко от Менска. Существовал тайный приказ НКВД уничтожать всё белорусское население вдоль границы. Российские аккупанты хотели сделать здесь безлюдную зону. Уничтожение осуществляли пограничные войска. Довереным лицам выдавали винтовку и лопату. Когда такой солдат-пограничник встречал в безлюдном месте (на дороге, в поле, в лесу) одинокого белоруса или белоруску, или ребенка, он стрелял человека, тут же лопатой выкапывал яму и засыпал труп. Такова была инструкция. Люди в деревнях не так боялись "человека с ружьём", как солдата с лопатой. (Эти факты опубликованы в белaруской печати в начале 90-х годов.) В 30-х годах на 95-99 процентов (практически полностью) была уничтожена (сослана и расстреляна) белaруская коммунистическо-партийная и советская администрация. Уничтожали даже директорат и хозяйственных руководителей. На должности убитых администраторов и коммунистических начальников-белорусов присылали “русских” из paсeии. “Русские” 🇷🇺 (так называемые "выдвиженцы") приезжали в Беларусь, занимали освобожденные должности, получали льготы, имущество, квартиры и первое, что они делали -- закрывали белорусские школы, переводили их на “русский” язык, чтобы их дети могли учиться, не обременяя себя изучением, как они говорили, "никому ненужного" белaруского языка. Таким образом оккупанты создавали в Беларуси "русскоязычное” население". Этноцид, лингвацид, мнемацид и геноцид проводзились большевиками одновременно. Уничтожение белaрусов рaсeйским НКВД продолжалось и во времена немецкой аккупации. В июне 1941 года в первые дни войны коммунисты расстреляли в тюрьмах и на этапах тысячи заключенных. Только в Брестской крепости, где была страшная тюрьма НКВД, всех арестованных ликвидировать не успели, часть из них разбежалась. Тем временем большая группа надзирателей и функционеров НКВД была заблокирована в крепости немцами. Они сидели там около месяца, пока не вымерли. Лет через 20 после войны коммунисты придумали легенду о "героической обороне" Брестской крепости. Обращает на себя внимание тот факт, что широкое советское партизанское движение было организовано только в Беларуси и частично -- на этнических белaруских землях, которые были в составе paсeии (Смоленщина, Брянщина). В оккупированой России партизанского движения не было. Почему? Да потому, что продолжал действовать план уничтожения белорусской нации. Москва, используя органы НКВД, втянула массы гражданского белорусского населения в войну против немцев, и этим подставила белорусов под немецкий удар. Необходимое дело борьбы исходило из коварного замысла и осуществлялось подлыми методами. (Сталин хотел получить двойную выгоду.) Энкавэдисты специально около белорусской деревени убивали немца или делали другую провокацию, чтобы вызвать карательную операцию гитлеровцев (которые обычно сжигали всю деревню, чаще всего -- вместе с людьми). Таким образом, кстати, в результате специальной провокации советских партизан была сожжена и известная Хатынь, которую коммунисты потом в 70-х годах разрекламировали на весь мир как типичную жертву фашистского зверства. В результате такой коммуно-фашистской совместной "работы" в Беларуси сожгли более 9 тысяч деревень. Поэтому к концу войны, в результате специальной операции НКВД, многие белaaруские командиры были посланы на смерть, отстранены от командования, убиты и репрессированы. Их места занимали русские, присланные из Мосвы, и верные энкавэдисты. Летом 1944 года, когда "красная армия" заняла Беларусь, “русские” провели мобилизацию в армию на белaруской территории. Десятки тысяч молодых белaруских мужчин, почти без подготовки, бросили на передовую линию фронта. “pусские” командиры поднимали их в ненужные атаки под огонь немецких пулеметов, не дав даже оружия в руки, или с винтовками, но без патронов. Они гибли тысячами, как трава под косой. А те, что бежали назад, попадали под пули энкавэдистских "заградотрядов". Впрочем, заградотряды стреляли и в спину. Так продолжалось уничтожение белaрусов на войне, руками немцев и “русских” одновременно. Как говорили коммунисты, "в борьбе за советскую родину". В 40-х годах русские вывезли в Сибирь и там замучили всех лесников и так называемых "кулаков" из Западной Беларуси. Вывозили вагонами, по разнорядках.
What to just highlight a current interest regarding the armements for Ukraine. Which standoff air-to-surface weapons could Ukraine count upon to be provided for its emerging F-16 fleet?
AGM-88 HARM is still the best stand off weapon available which Ukraine has though now they must know of a target before takeoff to program in flight, when they receive F-16s they can take off and find targets in the wild
@@zacharywolter You mean they will be able to program the ARG-88 in flight and not before takeoff with those being aimed from the F-16's? I reckon this will require AWACS planes 'cuase these F-16's' radars are not going to be up the task.
@@evgeniy_moscow_gooner the HARM can use its own seeker for thah, the problem is, that the missile cannot be properly integrated with soviet aircraft, thus the commands the pilot can give to the missile are limited. Thus the commands have to be programmed into the missile on ground. At least thats my understanding
This old armor becomes useful by these ingenious tactics. It does not protect the crew operating it, however puts up a barrier which blocks Ukranian sight and gunfire. At some point Ukraine will probably retreat from this trench, as there is too much cover right in front of it. Then Russia can take it "with minimal losses".
Well, Russia actually SHOULD be worried about their losses, because according to very recent satellite data their (counted) remaining active tanks, and stored & serviceable vehicles (their state from very bad to not so bad, but no more good ones!) are running out VERY QUICKLY. There are no more T90's and only a couple of hundred T80's left, with pretty much none of both in storage. And their manufacturing facilities aren't able to keep up. Not even a little! The total (in active service and all tanks in storage) comes to a grand total of 3657 counted. That seems like a lot, but it really isn't. About 80% of these counted tanks are in storage, and are in a very bad state, with a LOT of repairs needed to get them running again. They are also ONLY very old models! The situation with active & stored serviceable APC's/IFV's is even much worse! So, if these losses remain constant, with losses this high, I don't think they can even make it through this year. And I shall not again start on their failing, and soon to crumble (2 or 3 years at the very most), horrible state of economy 😊
Agreed because otherwise the battlefield wouldn't be seeing the stupid RU employment of motorbikes and golf carts in the offensive. Ergo, RU in certain sectors, has already "run-out of armour".
@@ostwelt Yes, absolutely true! From the very start that they started deploying those types of ridiculous vehicles, and their turtle tank with barely working EW systems, the signs were very clear. They are in trouble.

If there was ever a comment about the Russian military that was said in a game that translated perfectly into real life, it’s this one. “The Russians, showing a charismatic lack of imagination, have opted for a full frontal attack on your position.”
@@suchomimus9921very old game. ‘Operation Flashpoint: Resistance’. Came out in 2001 for the PC, then remastered in 2005 for the original XBox console. Basically you’re playing the leader of a small resistance group fighting against a Russian military occupation of a small island (never specified exactly where) in 1985. The quote I gave is during a follow up mission after the resistance takes over the first major island settlement and destroys the Russian garrison. The guy who gives the quote is (very likely) a Russian soldier sympathetic to the resistance that’s leaking intel to them. He’s making light of the fact that the Russians are sending an armored force to retake the town, and are driving straight ahead down the main road through a narrow gap that’s between heavy woods and the ocean. So while, as the player, your forces is much weaker, with careful placement of mines and remote explosives, you can easily take out half the Russian force before your own forces even engage them. I found the scenario strangely fitting, because that’s exactly how the Russians have largely been behaving in Ukraine.
Some are sent back as Cargo 200. But that is far from all. Many are just left on the ground or stuffed into holes in the ground. If a body is sent back to russia, that means that an officer in charge of distributing salaries to soldiers will receive payment for one soldier less, the family of the soldier may have a right to a pension, and it looks bad from a propaganda perspective, so why bother? Ukraine has scraped up some leftovers and offered them to russians, but the russians are not all that interested. Most of the russians died on territories that are now occupied. How many russians corpses are spread out there now is difficult to know.
This is that part of every Empire Earth game when you send waves of old WWi and WWII tanks in so you can reduce your total units below the limit, and build more modern tanks. Someone needs to tell the Russian Generals using Empire Earth as an AI battle planner that they have no artificial limit on total deployed units like the game does.
Sorry, this isn't an "attack" in the normal sense of the word. It is per Einstein, insanity. It was never going to work because armoured columns haven't worked since Day1 of the RU campaigns. This level of senseless destruction is beginning to make me really sick. And am no peacenik being ex-armoured. It defies belief that RU has reverted to early/mid war SU tactics on a smaller scale. Have read extensively of Red Army using these means, with the same lack of impact, but to see it well-laid out and broken down just makes me both sad and angry. No fan of RU but it does take some fear or motivation (and insanity) to knowingly drive down a track to one's certain death. For even if that lone tank reached the trench line then what???? It is a single tank with no infantry support that shouldn't be within 400-600m of a trench line anyway! It is all so sickenly stupid.
Well, they ARE gaining ground. Somebody in Moscow is probably pointing to a map to show it works, then massaging the numbers about what it has cost to get that far.

It is fascinating that Russia believes that it would stand a chance against NATO.
They know they don’t. It’s just talk.
@@The_ZeroLineExactly their goal is to win without ever fighting us in the first place that’s why they invest so much into subverting our politics.
"that it would stand a chance against NATO."
They do as long as NATO doesn't intervene. I wish this was sarcasm but the fact is that should Ukraine fold because it alone is bearing the burden of the ruSSian aggression (to remind, ruSSia has a +100 million larger population and has no regard for human live, including their own) than that would be an enormous defeat for NATO, the EU, international law and any decent country.
@@phild3936I am deeply disappointed that a coalition was not established to help Ukraine defend their country. We should have drawn a line in the sand so to speak, and that would have allowed Ukrainians to focus on pushing out the intruders while coalition forces stood guard over the rest of the country.
I think this would have brought the war to a quick resolution, instead hundreds of thousands of lives have been senselessly lost because the world stood by and watched a bully beat up on a weaker kid.
Just look at how things were handled when Kuwait was invaded, Iraq was given an ultimatum and then they were shown how the pimp hand strong.
@@phild3936 i dont completely ignore the argument that Russia wants Ukraine because it didnt want a Nato alliance on its border that is 10 times its size. russia could actually be afraid of a Nato aligned Ukraine and thats why they are doing what they are doing. Also for political survival they dont want a Ukraine with western liberal democracy on their border.

Nothing can stop me from supporting Ukraine financially, especially when I see the multiplier effect this has had. That this way, we are defending ourselves not only against Putin, but also against Orbán, Vučič, Xi, Kim at the same time.
You live in some kind of dystopia where leaders who prefer to look after their people's interests rather than sending weapons to some land in eastern Europe are an existential threat to you and your peaceful way of life, when they are someone you shouldn't care about. That's really worrying. Orban is a democratically elected European leader of a developing country member of both EU and NATO, and Vucic is a president of a country that has ongoing negotiations on joining the EU - they're both as western as can be yet there's you.
@@TikhonT. Feed that crap to the ignorant, comrade, nobody here is buying it.
@@TikhonT. Look at his avatar. Czechia is Eastern (Central) Europe. What are you on about? Russia has murdered Czech people 10 years ago, when they blew up ammo depot there. As a bonus Czechia got to the 2nd place on the Russian OFFICIAL list of enemy countries. Looking after your own people in a Eastern/Central European country means making sure that Russia is never again powerful enough to control the country.
@@TikhonT. I'm local to both countries. You are a troll and dystopia is on your side. This is why:
In both cases it started with democratically elected leaders. While Hungary is currently a black sheep EU member, thanks to Orban's populism, Serbia is a black sheep candidate country with no access to EU in a foreseeable future, thanks to Vucic's populism, since he has learned a lot from Milosevic where he gained his alter name, "little Milosevic". They both openly favor Russia/Putin and China/Xi and sheepishly comply to EU policy behind the courtain.
My insider story: while Orban didn't veto any Russian sanctions imposed by EU, Vucic is secretly sending weapons to Ukraine to get money from EU access funds and move forward the EU access chapters every time people get annoyed by his presence.
@@TikhonT.Have you heard about how Czechia has been abandoned twice last century, when enemy tanks overran their country? They know what it feels like to be abandoned. They will not let Ukraine stand alone

"Russia using Command & Conquer tactics"
This has to be one of the most simple yet accurate statements about the russian military.
People (me included) are terrified when they show WW1 soldiers charging over no-mans-land into machine gun fire. I cannot imagine how you feel when you are sitting in an outdated IFV charging alone over a flat, mined field. Horrible.
At least the ww1 soldier noticed he was about to die. The vintage IFV crew gets in the vehicle, starts driving, then seize to exist. It is like dying on the Titan sub.
It’s not as though they did it in broad daylight. Oh, wait a minute…my bad.
It's interesting you mention WW1, I have had exactlt the same thought. Have you ever read "Goodbye to all that" by Robert Graves. He describes how the terror changes your blood. He wrote that when soldiers started to lose their minds they would take reckless risks, which he wrote was a 1 in 50 risk of dying. These Russians (and probably Ukrainians too) are launching themselves at the front with 25/50% risk, it's incredible, and horrific. I cannot imagine what their frames of minds must be. We are watching an industrial death machine at work and people are running into the furnace.
Those are mostly Hollywood scenes. People didn't run against machine guns. It only happened in very rare circumstances. WWI is not that.

2+ years into the war the losses are staggering how long will Russian soldiers just keep going to their deaths pointlessly. I thought there would have been a revolt by now. Is there no self preservation at all on their minds ?
Sadly the answer to your last question is No. Which means there is no limit to your first question, and they will never revolt, nor will the civilian population as they never hear the truth and dismiss anything from the west as propaganda.

He better because one wonders if anyone actually tells him the truth.
Because the reality is that when RU has to advance with only golf carts and motorbikes unsupported by armout then, in that specific sector RU has effectively already "run-out of armour". Irrespective of what is still parked up rotting behind the Urals...
🤣
Funny but true. Ivan is paranoid by nature and at some point they’re going to start to question if they have enough armor to defend the rodina, of course the west is not going to launch an invasion but they still need to be prepared but the war in Ukraine is rapidly depleting their inventory meanwhile Ukrainian forces keep getting more and more equipment much of which is more advanced and capable than what they started with. It’s not sustainable for the orcs
"How many does it take for the guy in charge to think 'Maybe this isn't working'?" Consider this anecdote: 5 years ago, a clever guy of my acquaintance was making not far from $1k/day playing online poker. (And I saw personally the results of his shopping trips with the loot obtained.) When I asked his secret, he replied that he played only against suspected Russians, only in western Russia evening hours: _Russians, he said, always bluff and never fold._
This pursuit was so wildly successful, and for that reason took up so much of his time, that I soon had to alert him to the fact that one of his eyes was going googly. (He had no idea.) I demanded he start taking more breaks.
Last I saw of him, months later, he was off with his new Swiss watch and bulging wallet for fun and games in NYC. (By this time both his eyes were once again pointing in the same direction.)
"vehicles in various states of distress" 😂😂
Russia's battlefield tactics look more and more like my shitty Arma3 scenarios. I always thought I was making unrealistic garbage with stupid AI. Turns out Russia's army is also stupid garbage.
One has to wonder how much longer the Russians can sustain this...
The bots, the Vatniks and the non-critial thinkers thinkers will tell you Russia has an unlimited supply of armored vehicles and other war materiel. However they ignore the use of Chinese dune buggies, golf carts and motorcycles all of which are poor substitutes. The exhaustion of effective Russian equipment explains Putin's interest in ceasefire and "peace plans".
Check-out Covert Cabal's videos using private purchased satellite imagery to estimate Russia's post-Soviet armor reserves and their draw-down rates. Fascinating stuff! TL;DR: Putin has maybe a year of tanks left, and only 2-3 before he's also out of self-propelled and even *towed* artillery.
It cannot be overstated how big of a catastrophe this is for Russia, or for any nation. To paraphrase John Oliver, this is "Stupid Barbarossa".
Operator Starsky and Covert Cabal both have videos recently on that. Russia basically has until the middle to end of next year before they’re effectively “out” of good vehicles. They can still drag out the conflict a couple years more but that’s pretty much the limit of their stockpile and offensives won’t really be possible at that point.
@@cubefreak123 That may be true regarding military vehicles. Another issue is how long putler will be able to suppress a growing number of russians who are unhappy with the situation and would like to say a few words if they have a chance to do that. I expect that some information leaking out to the russian people some time will lead to unexpected reactions. It will be interesting to see what comes first:
- russia runs out of war material
- russia is forced out of Ukraine
- Palace revolution in kremlin
- Popular revolution in russia, maybe starting in the outskirts

Непісьменная пісулька на беларускай мове, у якой мясцовыя кіраўнікі скардзіліся на страшэнны голад у сваім раёне: “На гэтых днях (2 чэрвеня) меў мейсца з рада вон выходзячы факт: гр. в.

- The russians and the Nazis defeated Poland together in 1939 (But this can be seen as part of WW2)
- The russians won the second Chechen war 2000-2009 by bombing Grozny to rubble and mass murdering Chechens
- The russians won a few wars together with cooperation partners in Vietnam, North Korea, Ethiopia and Somalia, creating dystopian dictatorships
There are several wars involving russia beyond list you show here.
If Chechnya won, it would have become independent, Chechnya lost to Russia both times, a lot of things are wrong in your list, you have to look at the list of the USA, hollywood army were only able to win wars with Russia, after 1945 Hollywood Army lost all wars , And the USA always has tens of countries behind it, while Russia always fights alone

There was a Forbes article 2 days ago saying that Russia looses 100 tanks every month? I think they loose 100 tanks every second day!!
If you look at the Oryx figures, it's usually somewhere between 3-6 tanks per day destroyed, some others listed as abandoned, then about 2-3 times that of other IFVs, then that again in "soft" vehicles.
What gets me is these are accurate figures. These are visually, individually, independently-confirmed numbers, not some made-up, inflated, or mathematically guesstimated list that you would see in previous wars. Which means these are probably the low-minimum of what is being lost.
Or as my dad used to say, "the ladies parking lot".
At 0:43 I’m sure you see someone get blown fully up out the tank after the second explosion. Anyone else or are my eyes failing me?

backgound : После 2-й Мировой войны 10-мильонная Белaрусь 🏳❤🏳 не досчиталась около 3-х мильонов своих жителей, однако околь 2-х миллионов были убиты еще до войны органами коммунистического НКВД. В Беларуси физически уничтожили 70 процентов всех белaруских писателей, убили ученых и художников. (Труппа Третьего Белорусского Государственного театра Владислава Голубка была арестована в полном составе. Почти все были расстреляны.) Убивали по национальному признаку. Ради этого был придуман ярлык "нацдем" (это значит -- национальный демократ, хотя такой партии не существовало). Этот ярлык приклеивали ко всем белорусам, которых сталинисты планировали уничтожить. В недрах НКВД была придумана несуществующая антикоммунистическая организация СВБ ("союз освобождения Белaруси"). Под придуманный фантом энкавэдисты проводили аресты, вели воображаемое следствие, допрашивали, пытали, судили, потом ссылали в paсeю и расстреливали невинных людей. После Рижского сговора в 1921 году Беларусь разделили между Польшей и paсeей. Границу раздела провели недалеко от Менска. Существовал тайный приказ НКВД уничтожать всё белорусское население вдоль границы. Российские аккупанты хотели сделать здесь безлюдную зону. Уничтожение осуществляли пограничные войска. Довереным лицам выдавали винтовку и лопату. Когда такой солдат-пограничник встречал в безлюдном месте (на дороге, в поле, в лесу) одинокого белоруса или белоруску, или ребенка, он стрелял человека, тут же лопатой выкапывал яму и засыпал труп.
Такова была инструкция. Люди в деревнях не так боялись "человека с ружьём", как солдата с лопатой. (Эти факты опубликованы в белaруской печати в начале 90-х годов.) В 30-х годах на 95-99 процентов (практически полностью) была уничтожена (сослана и расстреляна) белaруская коммунистическо-партийная и советская администрация. Уничтожали даже директорат и хозяйственных руководителей. На должности убитых администраторов и коммунистических начальников-белорусов присылали “русских” из paсeии. “Русские” 🇷🇺 (так называемые "выдвиженцы") приезжали в Беларусь, занимали освобожденные должности, получали льготы, имущество, квартиры и первое, что они делали -- закрывали белорусские школы, переводили их на “русский” язык, чтобы их дети могли учиться, не обременяя себя изучением, как они говорили, "никому ненужного" белaруского языка. Таким образом оккупанты создавали в Беларуси "русскоязычное” население". Этноцид, лингвацид, мнемацид и геноцид проводзились большевиками одновременно.
Уничтожение белaрусов рaсeйским НКВД продолжалось и во времена немецкой аккупации. В июне 1941 года в первые дни войны коммунисты расстреляли в тюрьмах и на этапах тысячи заключенных. Только в Брестской крепости, где была страшная тюрьма НКВД, всех арестованных ликвидировать не успели, часть из них разбежалась. Тем временем большая группа надзирателей и функционеров НКВД была заблокирована в крепости немцами. Они сидели там около месяца, пока не вымерли. Лет через 20 после войны коммунисты придумали легенду о "героической обороне" Брестской крепости. Обращает на себя внимание тот факт, что широкое советское партизанское движение было организовано только в Беларуси и частично -- на этнических белaруских землях, которые были в составе paсeии (Смоленщина, Брянщина). В оккупированой России партизанского движения не было. Почему? Да потому, что продолжал действовать план уничтожения белорусской нации. Москва, используя органы НКВД, втянула массы гражданского белорусского населения в войну против немцев, и этим подставила белорусов под немецкий удар.
Необходимое дело борьбы исходило из коварного замысла и осуществлялось подлыми методами. (Сталин хотел получить двойную выгоду.) Энкавэдисты специально около белорусской деревени убивали немца или делали другую провокацию, чтобы вызвать карательную операцию гитлеровцев (которые обычно сжигали всю деревню, чаще всего -- вместе с людьми). Таким образом, кстати, в результате специальной провокации советских партизан была сожжена и известная Хатынь, которую коммунисты потом в 70-х годах разрекламировали на весь мир как типичную жертву фашистского зверства.
В результате такой коммуно-фашистской совместной "работы" в Беларуси сожгли более 9 тысяч деревень. Поэтому к концу войны, в результате специальной операции НКВД, многие белaaруские командиры были посланы на смерть, отстранены от командования, убиты и репрессированы. Их места занимали русские, присланные из Мосвы, и верные энкавэдисты. Летом 1944 года, когда "красная армия" заняла Беларусь, “русские” провели мобилизацию в армию на белaруской территории. Десятки тысяч молодых белaруских мужчин, почти без подготовки, бросили на передовую линию фронта. “pусские” командиры поднимали их в ненужные атаки под огонь немецких пулеметов, не дав даже оружия в руки, или с винтовками, но без патронов. Они гибли тысячами, как трава под косой. А те, что бежали назад, попадали под пули энкавэдистских "заградотрядов". Впрочем, заградотряды стреляли и в спину. Так продолжалось уничтожение белaрусов на войне, руками немцев и “русских” одновременно. Как говорили коммунисты, "в борьбе за советскую родину". В 40-х годах русские вывезли в Сибирь и там замучили всех лесников и так называемых "кулаков" из Западной Беларуси. Вывозили вагонами, по разнорядках.
What to just highlight a current interest regarding the armements for Ukraine. Which standoff air-to-surface weapons could Ukraine count upon to be provided for its emerging F-16 fleet?
AGM-88 HARM is still the best stand off weapon available which Ukraine has though now they must know of a target before takeoff to program in flight, when they receive F-16s they can take off and find targets in the wild
@@zacharywolter You mean they will be able to program the ARG-88 in flight and not before takeoff with those being aimed from the F-16's? I reckon this will require AWACS planes 'cuase these F-16's' radars are not going to be up the task.
@@evgeniy_moscow_gooner the HARM can use its own seeker for thah, the problem is, that the missile cannot be properly integrated with soviet aircraft, thus the commands the pilot can give to the missile are limited. Thus the commands have to be programmed into the missile on ground. At least thats my understanding
and that sad face in the middle :p
Maybe Putin also played Command and Conquer.

Russian army try not to waste vehicles challenge (impossible):
This old armor becomes useful by these ingenious tactics. It does not protect the crew operating it, however puts up a barrier which blocks Ukranian sight and gunfire. At some point Ukraine will probably retreat from this trench, as there is too much cover right in front of it. Then Russia can take it "with minimal losses".
Well, Russia actually SHOULD be worried about their losses, because according to very recent satellite data their (counted) remaining active tanks, and stored & serviceable vehicles (their state from very bad to not so bad, but no more good ones!) are running out VERY QUICKLY.
There are no more T90's and only a couple of hundred T80's left, with pretty much none of both in storage.
And their manufacturing facilities aren't able to keep up. Not even a little!
The total (in active service and all tanks in storage) comes to a grand total of 3657 counted.
That seems like a lot, but it really isn't.
About 80% of these counted tanks are in storage, and are in a very bad state, with a LOT of repairs needed to get them running again.
They are also ONLY very old models!
The situation with active & stored serviceable APC's/IFV's is even much worse!
So, if these losses remain constant, with losses this high, I don't think they can even make it through this year.
And I shall not again start on their failing, and soon to crumble (2 or 3 years at the very most), horrible state of economy 😊
Agreed because otherwise the battlefield wouldn't be seeing the stupid RU employment of motorbikes and golf carts in the offensive. Ergo, RU in certain sectors, has already "run-out of armour".
@@ostwelt Yes, absolutely true! From the very start that they started deploying those types of ridiculous vehicles, and their turtle tank with barely working EW systems, the signs were very clear. They are in trouble.
They might have a lot of horses if they need to resort to cavalry charges.
A Covert Cabal supporter? Love how much detail he goes into just like Suchomimus 👍
@@scottmorley7738 Damn! Yes!! That's where I got it from! LOL!
For the Life of me, I couldn't remember where I got the information.
I have sooooo much downloaded combat footage, general info-videos, and recorded (written) information gathered & documented on this war, that it is sometimes impossible to recall exactly where I got something from.
But I checked after you posted your comment, and absolutely yes, it was Covert Cabal! Haha! Thanks for the (incredibly useful) reminder! 👍👍👍
And yes, Covert Cabal is an awesome channel. I highly recommend everyone to follow him!
If there was ever a comment about the Russian military that was said in a game that translated perfectly into real life, it’s this one.
“The Russians, showing a charismatic lack of imagination, have opted for a full frontal attack on your position.”
Which game?
lol whichgame is that?
"charismatic"
Characteristic?
@@Axbneht No doubt here. Characteristic fits with the syntax. Charismatic does not unless one gives very large poetic license.
@@suchomimus9921very old game. ‘Operation Flashpoint: Resistance’. Came out in 2001 for the PC, then remastered in 2005 for the original XBox console.
Basically you’re playing the leader of a small resistance group fighting against a Russian military occupation of a small island (never specified exactly where) in 1985.
The quote I gave is during a follow up mission after the resistance takes over the first major island settlement and destroys the Russian garrison. The guy who gives the quote is (very likely) a Russian soldier sympathetic to the resistance that’s leaking intel to them. He’s making light of the fact that the Russians are sending an armored force to retake the town, and are driving straight ahead down the main road through a narrow gap that’s between heavy woods and the ocean.
So while, as the player, your forces is much weaker, with careful placement of mines and remote explosives, you can easily take out half the Russian force before your own forces even engage them.
I found the scenario strangely fitting, because that’s exactly how the Russians have largely been behaving in Ukraine.
Cant jam mines
Mines exist in a large number of varieties. Some have sensors separate from the explosives or are detonated remotely in other ways.
Russ bots angry
"My old Command and Conquer tactic.." 🤣🤣🤣
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me a fourth time just ruZZZZZZZZia. Slava Ukraini!
Hi Schumo, just curious, but what happens to all the Ruskie bodies?
Some are sent back as Cargo 200. But that is far from all. Many are just left on the ground or stuffed into holes in the ground. If a body is sent back to russia, that means that an officer in charge of distributing salaries to soldiers will receive payment for one soldier less, the family of the soldier may have a right to a pension, and it looks bad from a propaganda perspective, so why bother?
Ukraine has scraped up some leftovers and offered them to russians, but the russians are not all that interested. Most of the russians died on territories that are now occupied. How many russians corpses are spread out there now is difficult to know.
russian logic: " eventually there wont be anymore mines left in that field"
Andrei Nikulin:
"Thank you very much, dear Russian government,
that year after year we continue to realize how well we used to live."
Just wondering... is it evil of me to think of Mr Magoo when I watch these clips?
i thinl the same sometimes lol
Who is in charge of the russian forces, general melchettt from blackadder?
Russians playing minesweeper
Yes, a russian version of Minesweeper, where they don't get to know how many mines are adjacent.
Were these manned or drones?
RUF using museum pieces as mine clearing vehicles.
Also: would you like to post the link to the twitter you follow please? Thanks!
This is that part of every Empire Earth game when you send waves of old WWi and WWII tanks in so you can reduce your total units below the limit, and build more modern tanks. Someone needs to tell the Russian Generals using Empire Earth as an AI battle planner that they have no artificial limit on total deployed units like the game does.
mines are scary.
How many Vuhledar until Russia realizes its tactics are 80 years old?
I think the Crimean War happened in 1856, so Russia's tactics are almost 170 years old. Charge of the Light Brigade and all.
I am wondering how you identified #1 as t-62?
Sorry, this isn't an "attack" in the normal sense of the word. It is per Einstein, insanity. It was never going to work because armoured columns haven't worked since Day1 of the RU campaigns. This level of senseless destruction is beginning to make me really sick. And am no peacenik being ex-armoured.
It defies belief that RU has reverted to early/mid war SU tactics on a smaller scale. Have read extensively of Red Army using these means, with the same lack of impact, but to see it well-laid out and broken down just makes me both sad and angry. No fan of RU but it does take some fear or motivation (and insanity) to knowingly drive down a track to one's certain death.
For even if that lone tank reached the trench line then what???? It is a single tank with no infantry support that shouldn't be within 400-600m of a trench line anyway! It is all so sickenly stupid.
Well, they ARE gaining ground. Somebody in Moscow is probably pointing to a map to show it works, then massaging the numbers about what it has cost to get that far.
Mindless battle tactics don't win wars
My God.
I find the waste of troops in that offensive to be offensive
