Welcome back dear viewers to the first of a series of videos discussing the aid side of the Ukraine war. And it is this one which will ultimately decide the outcome and ensure Ukraine's victory. Russia has always struggled with logistics. But there is one area above others which will gives all NATO and Allied forces the edge.

Welcome back to the channel guys! Today we are talking about how NATO aid will carry the day.
Everyone knows MRE menu item 23, “Pizza slice, Pepperoni 🍕 “ is the best MRE. It’s not under serious debate. It wins poll after poll after poll.
What do you think about french MRE if you tried them ?
Patriot the worlds most effective airdefence system LMAO 🤣
Did you bother look up the history of Patriots performance during the Desert storm, Saudi Arabia? First and last time I saw your ridiculous content.
A tip try to at least mix some facts with your propaganda..
@@araztheman That was like 35 years ago. Most countries make great strides in economics and technology in 30 years. Most countries...
Others make "5th gen fighters" with panels put on with wood screws and engines from the 1980s.

It's operating in Saudi Arabia as we speak and it's performance isn't anything to brag about. The Saudis operate the PAC 3 which is the latest version. Yet they couldn't intercept a single cruise missile or drone in the attack on the Saudi oil fields who knocked out half of their production. Not did it only fail to intercept anything, it also totally failed to detect the attack and till this date the Saudis don't know for sure from what direction the attack was launched. That was less than 3 years ago. It has failed multiple times to intercept houthi attacks..
So calling it the worlds most effective AD system is more than a stretch
Measuring distance in AR-15s shows that you understand and respect our culture. Thank you.
I think it shows lack of awareness thst Ar-15's are available from 10 to 24 inch barrel and have adjustable stocks. Overall length can vary by double
@@appa609 tell that to the ATF.

My Grandfather was a cook in ARBiH during the 90s. Throughout my life one of the best meals I have ever had in my life are those cooked by my mum and those by my war cook grandfather. He is still rocking it today, as well as you can be rocking it after expiriencing the 90s
A friend of mine is Argentinian but he's a pro chef. His grandfather taught him everything he knows. Main difference is he wasn't a war cook, he was a war crook...

While most fighting men and women of Ukraine agrees US-made MRE is probably the best MRE out where, some of us still value South Korean very high also. Because they put kimchi in!
Kudos for mentioning Perun and Civ Div, those are really cool blokes.
I remember the US Marines MRE's and it was amazing. The US Armee MRE's were just OK.
@Idioluh is kimchi is a type of food?
@@jacobnoelle8428 it’s basically spicy chili cabbage but many other vegetables, seasonings, and even seafood can be added
@@collinwood6573 cool
I had a chance to try the French MRE it wasn't bad either. But it also needs an open flame to heat it.
Should’ve waited until after the Ramstein meeting that’ll go down tomorrow 1/20/23. I get the feeling a shitload of NATO arms shipments are going to be announced on that date.
I would have yes, BUT! I will say this video is not what it seems.
Also this is a series, after that date I will be running through aid by country in their own videos. This is just part one!
@@AnimarchyHistory This is the second best news I’ve heard all week. Topped only by the actual arms shipments 😉
@@AnimarchyHistory Well I doubt you’ll see this but please don’t forget Sweden then because we just announced our 10th package which has been our biggest one yet. It includes Archer (will take training time and logistical preparations before sent), CV90 (one of the best infantry fighting vehicles) we will send 50 once we’ve trained the Ukrainians on them lol.
Lastly as a bonus we are sending some more NLAW which is Swedish/British made along with other small things like mine clearing equipment and basic automatic weapons.
The amount of archers we have to spare specifically for Ukraine is 20 pieces so quite a few for us.
Feels good to be a Swedish taxpayer now. :)
@@AnimarchyHistory that sounds like a great idea, also as always really good video with good info which gives me much needed hope for our Ukranian brothers and sisters.
Slava Ukraini!!
I'm from Luxembourg and this comes as some surprise to me but it makes sense that my country would be able to give so much aid to Ukraine.
i am rather concerned why you guys have 5000 bullets proof vests when only have around 1,000 active soldiers xD
funny story i remember:
Luxemburg is using AWACS for NAto if i recall correctly. On a mission an ATC asked who they are. Their responds: We are you fucking airforce
I wouldn’t be surprised if the US starts handling all logistical issues and set up facilities to repair and help train crews in Poland
Aren't they do it already? I mean Checks, Slovaks, Poles and Bulgarians *are* repairing and helping with logistics of UA's old soviet equipment. So why Brits, Germans and Yanks wouldn't do the same?
It would be fucking nice
@@090giver090t’s highly likely that at least in the case of the Bradley they were training crews in Poland, US does a lot of its tank training in countries like Poland and Germany
🇺🇸Wouldn’t bother me any.🇺🇸
Starts? The US has had a major military presence in Poland for a while now. We are NATO best frens. When this kicked off there were a decent amount of stories of major US deployments to Polish bases. This was probably that. Hell, within days of the announcement we saw video of Ukrainians training on Bradley there. Poland doesn't operate the Bradley.
Old US Army vet and back country hiker/biker here. And, boy howdy, what you say is true, in a way that very few ever test at the limits of human performance. Given proper fuel, we humans have immense capacity for endurance. If you run short though, in extremis, you may just fall down, mumble incoherently and twitch until sufficient glucose circulates to rescue your nervous system from total shut-down. Cold wet conditions aggravate the situation profoundly.
Not great for morale, but if you're hungry enough even 40 y.o. Ru rations can be DELICIOUS. Their latrines must make construction site port a potties seem like flower shops though.
Well to be fair, the human body can Operate surprisingly well without food but it will come at a cost, the body will slow, you be dumb as rock slow as a snail and no endurance, so everything you don't want on the front.
Appreciate you including the conversion to AR units for us Americans
Hi, a russian highschooler pitching in. (Pardon my atrocious grammar) just wanted to say, there is hope. I don't know much about our classes, but in my class there are people who see the truth, there are people who don't just blindly accept propaganda as fact. I wish i could help in a meaningful way, but my hands are tied. Honestly, the best thing i think i could do would be to get into uni so i don't get drafted.
Here's to hope, and to peace.
Good luck. Just do what you can to follow the truth, don't drink the kool-aid.
You and Perun are two of the best channels on here for real in depth content on Ukraine
Most true comment on here. Completely agree.
Perun is state approved Nazi propaganda, this guy is just as bad.
I just read the most recent aid packade, Sweden is sending the CV90. And the archer B system.The statement came today.
CV90 will certainly do well there.
I spent several months co-located with UK troops, eating at their DFACs. They have some of the best meals ever...but they only have like seven days of menus on a constant one week rotation. Somewhere in Britain is a huge warehouse complex full of nothing but orange cheesecake and baby potatoes in oil and parsley. Kinda like the krauts with their bean soup, wurst, and heavy bread field rations.
Fun fact about Western MREs. The MRE pouches are designed so if a solider wants to heat the food but doesn't have the time to use a heater they can put the MRE pouch into a pocket and heat it using body heat
In Vietnam, MACV-SOG personnel would take their field rations and tie them tightly inside their belts in order to use their body heat with the heat and humidity of the jungle to keep their food warm while on patrol. By using this method they eliminated the need to make a fire attracting the enemy to their location while in "neutral" nations. Thank God current MRE's have eliminated that process.
Slava Ukraini, glory to the heroes!
nazis will be defeated regardless of the power of their foreign sponsors
¡Gloria!
Lots of love from the Russians, 1945 style, Nazi!
Fook those Ukrainian Nazis
@@Mortablunt you really still believe the nazi bullshit Putin talked about in his "special military operation" announcement? Russia really can't claim the "denazification" card, because they themsleves committed many atrocities against civilians and POW's, and how they treat their own soldiers and the non-ethnic Russian conscripts, which comprise most of Russia's army at this point. Remember the bombing of Ukrainian *civilian* infrastructure? and the Bucha massacre? Ukraine and the West are working towards a common goal to liberate the rest of Ukraine from the Russian invaders, and are doing so swiftly, and quite thoroughly. The truth is on the side of Ukraine and the West. Always has been, and always will be. You can either ignore it and keep spouting bullshit, or you can listen, and accept the truth. The choice is yours, and yours alone. Do not let Putin control you like that.
It looks like Sweden is sending the Cv90C which is the best we have
Denmark is now sending 19 Caesar-haubitsers, these are brand new from the factory in France.
What Ammo are those using ? Soviet, french or NATO ?
@@nihluxler1890 39/52 standard NATO shell.
And we are happy to get rid of them, as they suck
"But the Bradley can't handle being hit by a RPG,therefore its a bad vehicle"
Can it handle being hit by a kornet ? By a Konkurs ? By a 125mm round ? Being dived into by a lancet ? By an artillery shell ? Because it’s going to run into all of those way before it’s in range of RPGs.
I think it would be interesting if some of the challenger II’s supplied to Ukraine were equipped with the ADS systems being tested on the II for the challenger III, Ukraine would offer a prime environment to live test the feature
A bit risky though if that technology fell into Russian hands.
I really don't care about the ADS as much as I wish we were getting them at brigade strength
@@AWMJoeyjoejoewell if a Ukrainian tank crew had to abandon their challenger II they’d likely follow scuttling procedures which would leave nothing for the Russians to recover
@@featgorgon3985 Good point. I hadn't thought of that. Come to think of it the kind of damage required to knock out a Challenger 2 would probably destroy everything on it anyway!
@@YanBaoQin the simple matter is that the British don’t have enough to spare to provide them at brigade strength for Ukraine, they’ll have brigade strength armor eventually but it’ll be a mixed bag of leopards, challengers, and Abrams tanks
You forgot the number one feature of the Challenger 2...the built in tea kettle
Sneaky sneaky. You snuck it in at the very end.
I hope they include a box of Yorkshire Tea in each Challenger 2.
They think its weird putting milk in tea over there
Thank you! Keep going Ukraine 🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇦
And keep eating
Out of highschool I got a job at Oregon Freeze Dry and I found out that we made MRE's for the military. It was pretty interesting. Plus they had a 2nd plant that I got transferred to, it's next to this big mirrored glass triangle building that is the HQ building and in that 2nd plant they were working on projects, this one was working on this gel for filling wounds. Like bullet wounds. It was interesting. I got to wear those inflatable full body suits and worked with probiotic cultures. I got to directly be the head chef's helper and cook meals for thousands of servings a batch each run. I got to work in the cold rooms at -30 and get covered in scrambled egg snow shaving's. 12hr shifts. It was a interesting couple years.
That's pretty cool. It's kinda neat seeing how something so mundane can be connected to something so interesting. And I'm sure during that time, you didn't think anything of it. It was just your job, nothing crazy.
You should post this to r/AMA
Gol dang Tangent seems to have grown a lot since I was at Oregon State.
And I believe on British vehicles they start with the hot water then design the armour and gun to defend it and the stock of teabags milk and chocolate digestives - but seriously what a great video - very thought provoking and as you say when you are wet and cold the food tastes like the greatest banquet and the tea - well tea is the true fuel of soldiering
I'm glad at least one country has their priorities straight (≧∀≦)

@@raypitts4880 From memory the Centurion was the first British vehicle to come fitted with a BV (Boiling Vessel) added in recognition of the number of casualties suffered while the lads were sat around their tank while having a brew.
As my ancestors taught me, war is either very boring or very deadly. We still train to be warriors for a people who will not fight for their interests are doomed, but tho we very much see victory as gloyrious we are also taught the reality of there being a good change youre gona die and food and shovel are your best friends for a soldiers life is harsh.
I also think all the old soviet era ammunition plants in eastern EU nations that are cranking out Ammo as fast as they can, are gonna have a huge impact, if the US just finances them, which is part of the lend-lease agreement,
The ammunition consumption of Ukraine, atleast on the artillery front far outweighs production. The production of 152 and 122mm ammo definitely helps, but it does limit the effectiveness of artillery.
I used to be a landscaper up in New England. I had plenty of absolutely horrible days doing that stuff. A decent warm meal after a miserable day does so much good. It doesn't even have to be all that good, so long as it doesn't take forever to prepare, isn't horrible and it is hot.
That's what cups of tea were invented for
Yup, forty years ago I played soldiers in the OTC here in the UK. Full cooked breakfast then out into the field for training exercises. North West of England in January is cold and wet. After 5 or 6 hours we were praying for the scran wagon to show up, big vats of hot range stew, beef or lamb, onions and shed loads of root vegetables all boiled up together for a few hours. Food of the Gods when you're cold, wet and hungover.
The talk about food reminded me of time while I was on patrol in Afghanistan with the ANA. We grab a few ears of corn and roasted them over and open fire. So of the best corn on the cob I ever had.
12:55 my grandfather told me that war is 99% boredom, 1% abject horror. And he was a piper, with his main infantry armament being a musical instrument (the bagpipes; it means a lot to us Scots).
It gave me a great perspective on the real importance of logistics at a young age. You can't fight if you're starved with rotting feet.
@@j.a.b.nijenhuis8124 imagine you are a russian conscript: sitting in a muddy trench, days without some proper meal, hungry and cold and surrounded by others who are afraid of dying, wanting to get home, at the hands of cruel officers who do not care about you or your wellbeing and then the ukrainian infantry advances on your trench and you hear those scottish bagpipes slowly coming closer and closer blasting scotland the brave.
Id run or surrender.
@@Salvothegamer Reaction to hearing it is something like "Oh bylat the scots are coming!"
There are some videos of Piper Bill Millin playing and talking about playing in combat. When asked if he was afraid of the bullets, he said no, he was more afraid of playing poorly because Lord Lovat was “a bit of a critic.”
@@j.a.b.nijenhuis8124 my dad always says that a gentleman is someone who knows how to play the bagpipes, but doesn’t
I'd love to see Italy send more aid to Ukraine, unfortunately our Ariete MBTs are such a waste of metal that it would create further issues rather than solve them, while our stock of Leopard 1s hasn't seen the light of day in decades and is probably beyond repair.
But the Centauro 1 is basically an AMX and is being retired for the Centauro 2. Those could definitely be sent to Ukraine, together with some of the Linces(our humvees) that saved the lives of a whole lot of Italian kids in the middle east.
Can't comment on actual quality of russian MRE's. However how palletable it would be depends on your culinary habits. I am Czech and those meat tin cans look pretty much similar to those you can buy in Czech republic in any grocery store.
Basically processed pork or beef with some fat, mildly salted.
I personally don't love it, but if you are hungry, you will be more than happy to eat it.
In Czech Army there were similar tins up untill recently and if stored properly those could last long time after expiration date.
So I just wanted to add another point of view to discussion.
Fun fact - Ukraine's own MREs are at the very least on par with, if not better than the US ones, judging by youtube comparison videos I've seen
When I was 10 years old, Hurricane Katrina hit, and a few days, maybe a week later, my family and I received a few cases of MREs. I still remember the first one I had. Grilled chicken. Juiciest bird meat I've ever had. I hate that there's a lot of Ukrainian kids are in a position where they need our help, but the silver lining is maybe a few of them will get to enjoy a good MRE.
At least we're no longer getting the jokes about MRE meaning "Meal, Rejected by Ethiopians".
4:25 A Gonzalo reference. Nice one
Now back in my day the steak and kidney pudding was the clear favourite - boil in the can and eat from there with a nice amount of hot water for your brew from coking it - oh that was a true meal to propel you where you needed to go and even better no washing up - there was also some hideous chicken thing with rice that made everything dirty and looked and tasted like vomit - but oh that steak pudding - I can almost taste it 30 years later - I never did understand why the Rolos all had Arabic writing on them - this was the 80’s - maybe someone knew something 😂😂
Called them baby heads in northern ireland
Ukraine went from having no Western tanks and IFVs to 14 Challenger 2, 100 M2 Bradleys, 40 AMX-10S, 40 Marders and 50 CV90s in a week, oh and let’s not forget Swedish Archers and all 19 of Denmark’s Caesar howitzers.. it’s been a good week
*Arsenal of Democracy focus completed*

And poland ready to have their leopard 2's go missing at any given moment.

My claim is that the United States never truly forgot it's experiences starving in Valley Forge and so forged themselves into primarily a logistics based military.
They delivery anything, anywhere, anytime and in relative quality and high quantity.
That could be soldiers, tanks, fuel, beans, bullets, band aids, or even a nice chocolate cake fresh from a New York bakery to someone just in time for their birthday.
Oh, and same day newspapers.
It has to do more with the fact we have had to go TO a fight for the last 200 years. It's never been on the doorstep since the war of 1812.
@@dinhnguyen2110 That and we have proven how effective it is. All of the flashy, lots of of military parades, nations have consistently under-performed in actual combat, and a huge portion of that is they focus on the sexy parts and tend to let the important parts fall apart.
That was one of my worries with the Trump admin when it came to military readiness. He did the same "Look how big our guns are" thing constantly, which might have affected his appointees. Luckily the military as an institution is well equipped to run those things without the direct input of the top level politicians.
Made the same Bradley joke in the comments of a Perun vid, 2 likes and one of them was me. You're fuckin right it's niche
Civ div is not in Ukraine. He got pneumonia or something and had to go home. The footage is from a buddy in the unit that he was in while in Ukraine. So no that is not civ div and no he is no longer in Ukraine. Sorry just had to put out the facts. Beautiful video tho
He is in Ukraine again. He is not on the frontlines however, he is travelling the country at the moment.
Amazing video! It is sad that the flashy tanks and artillery get all the fame, news and credit when in reality, the most vital supply Ukraine desperately needs is overlooked. Thank you for spreading awareness about what NATO can really do to help Ukraine defend their nation!
@@j.a.b.nijenhuis8124 Logistics is pretty much the backbone of NATO military strategy. I have family members who work in the logistics side of the US military, and even the non-secret stuff they are allowed to tell us about is incredible. There is a reason why the US military has put hundreds of bases around the world, and a big portion of it is the ability to put supplies where supplies need to be when they need to be there.
So supplying food is not sexy, and it is something NATO just does as a matter of course. Until the situation goes pear shaped we are unlikely to hear much about it. Luckily the military brains in NATO know how important it is.
I could be wrong, but didn’t the US practically fed the Red Army during World War 2? Also, wasn’t the GM trucks we gave them contributed heavily in them pushing the Germans back to Berlin?
Yes!
Some CCKW's even got turned into katyushas.
Yes. And British merchant navy took it to Russia. But obviously Russia doesn't like to admit it.
Lots of food, boots, trucks, lumber and aluminum stock, radios, waterproof telephone wire, 100 octane aviation gasoline.
Yes aegis, God that system is terrifying, hell anybody that knows warships knows this quote.
"...... leaked documents appear to show that The agis system on the test ship was able to stop all 300 attacks, including in one occasion a combined simultaneous Drone, cruise missile, sea skimming supersonic missile, and hypersonic missile attack made up of approximately 35 warheads, The ship was able to track and destroy all targets before they breached the 10 km mark, The mechanism by which the ship was able to track and destroy sea skimming supersonic missiles that were beyond the horizon was not specified But it was specified that the ship was the only friendly unit during the test."
Damn I still can't believe that was all the way back in 2010, Jesus makes me feel freaking old.
I remember seeing a comment that the Aegis systems could do something called "a zorch," where they basically would tighten the beam way down and push up the power. The comment was "even if we don't fry the plane's electronics, the pilot won't have kids."
The boiling vessel is the reason why the challenger is the best protected tank in human history, you can declare war on us, BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE OUR TEA!

@@magmapixel8627 That wasn't British tea, just good old British taxes! (and yes, I do occasionally feel like not paying them myself, but that's harder to get away with if you live just down the road from the king and his goons!)
When I heard that the Americans had signed lend lease for the Ukrainians..
I knew it was over for the Russians.
It's only a matter of time now.
I’ve said before that probably the most vital contribution Canada and the US made to the Allies during the Second World War, was the Billions of tons of grains and other foodstuffs that they supplied to the UK, & USSR, primarily. While both Great Britain, and the Soviet Union probably could have sustained their civilian populations feed needs at least to subsistence levels on domestic output alone, it was North American food stuffs that allowed allied armies on all front to march to victory despite the increase in both caloric needs and agricultural disruption inherent in war time.
Bradleys are such a huge deal for Ukraine. But not for the missile, or the auto cannon, or the armor. On paper, using metrics, a BMP-2M appears superior as it can carry more troops, has a larger caliber faster rate of fire gun, and more missiles per reload, and I believe it is faster. But that is what warthunder players and stat sheet nerds think.
What the Bradley has up its' sleeve, is the best damn optics Ukraine will have. I have heard many Bradley crewmen say, they can zoom out hundreds of meters with thermals on, and still recognize facial features on the infantry they look at. They can zoom at a target a kilometer away, and recognize it is a certain species of mouse.
Combined together with the long range ATGM, the Bradley would be an insanely powerful patrol/recon/tank destroyer vehicle. Which causes sort of a dilemma. It will also be their most survivable IFV. It could either be used for lightning offenses. We will see what the Ukrainians do with it, but I would be on the side of placing it into a safer recon role to abuse the sights and relative comfort of the vehicle.
American MREs are not bad, except the "hot dog meal" known as the 5 fingers of death. They are like 5 long Vienna sausages, just gross.
In the 80s I had returned to college, and like most students I was broke.
My buddy was employed by a contractor hired to clean up after the U.S. Marines at camp Pendleton. He collected "broken" MREs, or MREs taken out of the shipping box, but still in the plastic bags carried by individuals. A lot of these "broken" MREs ended up at my apartment. My roommate and I lived off of MREs as long as the supply held out. We were very happy to have them because we had been living on variations of Top Ramen based recipes.
I can say I ate MREs for a full month, but only crapped every 3rd day at most.
MREs are a high calorie butt plug. That may be good in the field for soldiers, but roughage is required for struggling students.
My roommate used to open his mouth and say, "look down my throat, see where it gets dark, that's not just dark that shit I'm full of shit all the way up to there".
Other than that American MREs are good.
The "frankfurter" menu was retired a long time ago and replaced by the "veggie omelet" (aka vomlet) as the worst MRE menu. I think that was retired too. As far as them jamming you up that is a known thing. I knew a Marine whose unit ate all the peanut butter out of their MREs before they pushed into Kuwait in '91. Nobody wanted to have to take a combat crap so that was their solution. USMC ingenuity.
@Randall Waitt yeah, Vomlet was gone by the time I joined in 2012. pretty sure worst of the new menu is still Asian Style Beef Strips
You're not selling them to me! Haha!
As soon as you get the nerve up to actually take a tactical dump it's pretty good, peaceful and a weird back to nature feeling (while worrying about a snake attaching to your cheeks)
@@Ukraineaissance2014 When I talk to veterans they like to talk about two things about their service. Menu fatigue and awkward poops. Maybe it's just the crowd I hang out with... but probably not.

💛💙🤘 Yass!
I'm really glad Arma covers the combat load stuff in its gameplay. It really opens your eyes on how hard solders have it.
It's also a real PITA.
And as an airsofter, I've _also_ have had to deal with this (as a civilian, I mean). I often ditch the heavy loads for mobility and stamina, unless I know I'm bunkering down somewhere. But that's obviously not an option for an actual soldier.
even when I was in the middle of the shittest of winter military exercises, being able to cook up a pot of ramen in a jetboil was able to boost my morale to the Moon. the importance of food in a war cannot be emphasized enough.
“Oh man these rations suck I can’t wait to go home for some McDonald’s”-Russian conscript who doesn’t yet know
Second more serious comment:
I'm currently reading a book on the WW2 U-boat campaign, and the prologue was on the WW1 campaign. It described briefly the situation of U-boat production, which was disjointed and unorganized. Commanders ordering U-boats of all size and shapes, including U-Cruisers apparently. Production also stagnated as too many workers were drafted. Russia might see this in their own arms industry as workers flee or are drafted
Ukraine’s situation in a nutshell, hilarious how Nazis never get industry right.
The only thing I see becoming an issue would be the training and adjustment from Soviet style vehicles to NATO style. But they seem to doing well.
I would imagine that's part of the training. Bet the tank crews will like being able to reverse more than 5 kilometres per hour.
I agree with you about food being extremely important for Ukraine winning the war against Russia. My father fought in the US Army during WWII and was well fed during state side training and overseas combat in Italy and in France. He even had cooks bring hot coffee to the front during the 1944 winter in France. I remember one of the cooks telling me during a reunion that he gave hamburgers and rice to the soldiers in the middle of the night. He put the food into the soldier's hand because it was too dangerous to put food in metal containers that made noise. My father said that soldiers only carried ammunition and water to the battlefield and would eat after the fighting had finished.
Thank you for converting things into American measurements 🙏
I too was lost until I wasn't.
But most schools, especially in science class, teach in the metric system. Did you not learn it in school?
Edit: Nevermind, just reached the conversion part.
@@voidtempering8700 To be fair, we were taught the periodic table of elements and layers of the Earth's crust too, neither of which I could dazzle you with my retained knowledge of.
@@voidtempering8700 LOL, no worries. It was all a meme anyways.
@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic True, I'm still in school and forgot a lot of the things I learned last year.
one thing i will say about russian rations is those crackers are incredibly calorie dense for what they are, at the cost of being horrible tasting without some sort of jam or spread which while russia does have, they do not have them in forms you can eat on the go like mre's with their tubes of spread.
What forms of ration jam do they have in that case, I imagine something either very powdery or brick like?
@@ArcturusOTE From what I've seen on the net, RUS jam/spread often came in plastic blister type of packaging or the normal squeeze packet that you can buy in supermarket. No powder or brick or glass jar involved for obvious reason.
@@ArcturusOTE for the russian rations can have like fruit jams ( peaches, apple, etc.) but they most often do not come in a pouch or tube, so eating them while moving would be very hard. the ones I have seen and tried they are mostly In cans that require a can opener, and they are pretty poorly made.
Nice reference to lazerpig with the music in the description of the bradley (which sounds like you lifted it directly from his video)
I think Marder and BMP-2 are pretty equal. Depending on their versions of course.
According to Gonzalo Lira, Russia is scared of a lightly armoured jeep.
Love it.
this will probably get buried but i'll type it anyway in case someone do see it:
aside from MRE(IMP)s, which the government is providing, what is really important is candy. yes, good ol candy. even during training we easily burn 4000 calories a day, or more, in the field - and the daily assigned IMP calories is 3600. that's a gap of anywhere between 400 - 1000 calories that soldier have to make up for themselves, and usually this results in us carrying half to one pound of candy for each week in the field - and that's just in training. candy don't just keep you fed - it keeps you awake too. that little sugar rush when you are manning the C9 trench shift at 0300 is a god send. and believe me, you get incredibly hungry and tired during the shift - so much so that I would eat the "sawdust" energy bar just to stay awake and concentrated. if i have one thing to ask from the IMP makers is to include more small pieces of candy in the packages. so if you want to help on an individual basis, send candy. because i can almost guarantee that the troops will need it - and with the ukrainian supply and economic situation being so fucked right now, it would not surprise me if their soldiers spend a fortune on candy.
also... hayboxes in the field. mmmmmmmmm. what i would do to get a haybox meal in the field. a thousand times better than IMPs.

Lol, the bill for the Ukraine is the most detailed ever in the history of warfare. That bill. And yes Lazerpig loves him some Bradley’s lol
I'm a "little" salty that Animarchy didn't even give France an acknowledgment of sending its AMX-10rc to Ukraine first that gave the last push for the US and Germany to start to send there own to Ukraine. man I do love the Francophobia in the english speaking discussions about military affairs.
Silly cheese eating surrender monkeys didn’t even think to have a channel separating them from Germany like Britain did. Rookie mistake!
Here let me rectify that: THANK YOU FRNACE! YOU BASED MOTHER FUCKERS! .
It’s an armored car that can be defeated by an assault rifle quit acting like it’s sending Achilles to the front.
Can we expect a video on TH-camrs supporting Russia? The claims they make need to be addressed and debunked. I try on my own but I just get swarmed by the comments section. Though after a while they do give up, so I guess the argument's on my side.
Can't give the Ukranians PT belts because the Russians would almost be required to use nukes to try to stop them.

I am not a combat infantryman. but I really don’t see the training value of the “lay down and step on each other” exercise.
Sorry had to stop watching to find "military members feed kids mres" videos. Will be back.

_Battle of the Bulge_ (1965) isn't a great war movie, but it has a great moment between two Nazi officers. A Colonel shows his general a chocolate cake, which was baked in Boston, but still fresh when taken off a captured US soldier: "General, do you realize what this means? It means the Americans have fuel and planes to fly cake over the Atlantic Ocean!"
Absolutely love the videos!!! Keep em coming. Much love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️
I remember reading during the latter stages of the Pacific War, Japanese soldiers were being found and recovered by US forces after being mistaken for their own because the Japanese were wearing US Uniforms. But these weren't soldiers doing infiltration, as in nearly every case they were found with US Field Rations and cooked meals. One soldier's personal diary was recovered, and he mentions how great and delicious Uncle Sam's food when he first tried it.
The Japanese soldiers were so hungry that they were literally sneaking into American camps not to cause harm, but to get something to eat.
This was established as well in the ETO as the Germans, running out of supplies themselves, were looking for US Rations towards the end of the war. They would loot US rations over US weapons and even steal from the British and Commonwealth whatever food they could get. I believe I even read once that a column of knocked out British or Canadian Tanks were approached by the Germans at night and the Germans dug around in the Tanks for food and drinks. They then left the Tanks where they sat, not even trying to blow them up, and went back to their positions where they apparently enjoyed themselves with something to actually eat.
Additionally, in this war, I recall that Russians have been so hungry, they've been eating dogs and other animals they can capture. The Ukrainians even found paws of dogs stabled to boards during the recapture of all areas on the Kyiv Front and learned that those were paws from dogs that had been eaten.
I would not be surprised, if we see reports of Russians eating rats, trapping and killing them, like was done in the movie All Quiet on the Western Front. The movie from the 1970s? Or was that movie 1960s? Either way, if you have seen the movie, you know the scene.
You actually believe the shit the Nazis say?
@@Mortablunt - Oh? I don't recall citing Nazis. Why do you say so?
As Kipling put it (the Dutch in the Medway)
"The moneys that should feed us
You spend on your delight,
How can you then have sailor-men
To aid you in your fight?
Our fish and cheese are rotten,
Which makes the scurvy grow-
We cannot serve you if we starve,
And this the Dutchmen know!"
Or in this case, the Ukrainian know
Hey Pacman, great video as usual. I'd like to suggest a topic.
Would you consider making a comparison on what the current situation in Ukraine is to that during some of the previous wars was after one year of fighting? Like how the war in Europe was going in september 1940, the war in Pacific in december 1942, the WW1 in 1915 or perhaps even the Spanish Civil war in July 1937?
You see, I happen to be a part of a community that is... not particularly fond of Ukraine and the western support to it, to say it diplomatically. One of the arguments that appeared a few times in this circle was the "With all the equipment we sent them, how come Ukraine hasn't won already? Why should we send them more? This is clearly a waste of money." And, to be entirely honest, this (along with some other arguments) seemed quite compelling to me for a while, but I digress.
Yes, I have now seen Perun's videos where he mentions these things (like the vid about IFVs) and they are more than sufficient explanation why further support is needed. I just happened to think of this comparison and considered it worth sharing. And since it seems like something that could fit well within your repertoire, here I am.
Of course, no is also an answer, so if the topic isn't really worth the effort, that's completely understandable.
So, if you've gotten this far, thanks for your patience, apologies for the wall (well, mabye just a fence) of text and have a nice day.
I am in Ukraine working & volunteering, and I need to correct a couple things you said. There is NO "full mobilisation" in Ukraine. I should know, I've applied 5 times and I know many who've tried more than that. Even if you get a draft notice, its likely there'll be 6 people ahead of you for the same job. This actually happened to a friend of mine - he sat in the office with 5 other guys for 2 hours before they told him to go home. One opening I went to for 50 recruits had 300 applicants waiting outside, for 5 hours. We don't need "mobilization," we need weapons & training en masse at all levels.
I have seen no MRE's here, nor in videos. Rather, our soldiers are largely eating locally produced food, which we have in ABUNDANCE. I've personally loaded, unloaded, packed & moved this food. Its a massive amount coming from every community. Cans & jars of everything you can imagine pouring out of every babushka's basement. Massive volunteer canning drives & food kitchens. Its an agricultural country, and almost every home outside cities has a victory garden, especially now.
That said, MRE's could make an HUGE difference to our army, particularly recon, SF, & infantry advance troops. The reason is this: all that canned food is great, but its not very transportable in the field. This means soldiers are limited how far they can go from their field kitchens, as it were. A bunch of carryable MRE's could really extend the range the above forces could advance into enemy territory without resupply.
Thank you for your reply. I would have mentioned this in more detail and it's why I said (and showed in footage) the Ukrainian soldiers cooking themselves and sourcing their own food.
What I was trying to get across is that it's the supply of food and other critical stuff like medical supplies which will win. Not tanks and jets (although those are important).
Come on Germany. Loosen those export restrictions on the Leo 2! Poland is desperate to send theirs to Ukraine!
German here its probably going to happen on Friday.
The fact that our Vice chancellor has openly spoken in favor of permitting Exports is a pretty clear sign that its probably already decided.
Meanwhile the new Minister of Defence has denied knowledge about Germany requiring the US to send Abrams first. While incompetence is pretty usual for this position in Germany I doubt he messes up this badly in his first week.
Lastly while Poland is kicking and screaming about their Leopards and even threatened to just send them to Ukraine without permission they haven't even send an official request to actually export them. Coincidentally its election year in Poland and the PiS LOVES throwing shit at Germany.
@@heyho4770 I suppose that would be a good vote winner in Poland. Thanks for your insights. I'll be watching the news on Friday to see what they announce. Fingers crossed! 🤞
russia struggles to get food to the frontlines, the americans send specialised ice-cream trucks to the frontline.
Been watching love your stuff
the frostpunk soundtrack in this tho 10/10 fits
Looking forward to when the Russians start making their frontline MREs with saw dust! 😊

Just another "Thank you for another great video and I adore every one up to this point" comment ❤(ӦｖӦ｡)
slava Ukraine SEND CHALENGERS.
when i was training for secial forces , i remember we had to complete a mission 100km walk through forest in 4days fully kitted for snow, bullets ,clothes etc etc and we were not allowed to take food with us. we had to go to some coordinates and dig a hole in wich we would find our MRE . 1 day goes by without food and EVERYONE starts halucinating . I remember digging like a fucking animal for that MRE. I wouldn't want to be on a russian soldier's boots right now . Especially in the winter
Bullshit. No military does this. I’ve gone longer without food; you don’t hallucinate. Liar.
A certain Gonzalo should see this ^^
In my opinion, the logistics is the interesting part... Granted my favorite games are all about logistics and the ones that aren't, I turn into logistics games
Trucks in this conflict got quite a big variety though quite a lack of western vehicles spotted mainly just the FTMV being confirmed with a few blown up whilst towing M777's.
It may not taste good but it will keep you going.
Several years ago, I saw a commentary about why the US military has been so successful. It wasn't that we had the best equipment, it wasn't that we had the best trained troops, it was that no one did logistics better than the US military. Watching the footage from the initial invasion, I remember almost every western military analyst scratching their heads wondering what the Russians were doing, since their supply chain was so ... bad. I guess we can say that the Russians studied tactics, not logistics.
Having listened to the translated intercepts of phone calls from Russian soldiers at the front, the constant thread has been they're out of food, don't have clean drinking water, and don't have the right gear for the conditions. Given that they're now entering a winter war, those things by themselves are going to be deadly to them, without the Ukrainians having to fire a shot. Whereas the Ukrainian troops have enough food, they have clean water or the means to purify it, and they have the right gear - even if it's put together from different nations. And that is going to be their real edge in the next few months.
Russia studied neither id say...and even if they did, corruption and lack of funds made sure all of their capabilities were only theoretical , not practical.
Imperialist nations that extend their influence militarily throughout the world figure logistics out quickly, or don´t stay empires for long. The United States has had plenty of time and experience to work things out: from the side of those being attacked by a foreign power first, then becoming the attackers. Look at US history and you will see a never-ending string of military conflicts that required long-distance transportation of supplies and personnel, adapting to new technological achievements and challenges, all while maintaining a certain degree of comfort as its own materiel and staff sources are mostly safe from enemy attack.
The United States has had an easy time building up its logistics, but it also has taken the job quite seriously, and the result is the capacity to keep different wars going on for literal decades, half the world away from its own shores. An incredible feat to be sure, which comes in handy for its allies, clients, and in the cause of the Ukraine-Russia war, allies of convenience.
All those supposed phone calls are fakes. Ukraine cut off all phone access between themselves and Russia on March 3, and that includes access to Ukrainian networks by Russian SIM cards. I don’t see how you idiots keep falling for this.
its not a true foreign relations disaster until austria applies for nato membership!

Would be cool to have Oostenrijk join up, not sure if it’s possible with the neutrality cause that was imposed after WO2, but you’re welcome if you want
Thank you for putting the speed of the Bradley in any other unit besides metric.
As an American this helped me out greatly and was much appreciated.
On average, a full military MRE meal contains 1,259 calories, about the same as a large Big Mac meal.
"Rock or something" incapsulates the military mindset more than anything I can think of. Put it on a rock, or something, anything really, up to and including, but certainly not limited to, a rock.
Love how you slipped in that Gonzo Liar reference about the Bradley. 😂
Glory to Ukraine!
Thank you for the 146,000 AR-15s That's actually a unit I can wrap my head around. Assuming you meant 16-in barrel with a fully extended carbine stock
5:58 as an American viewer, thank you for the conversion. I was starting to confused.
if we british send any ration packs (and I hope we don't as they don't have a good rep) I hope they get the orange hot chocolate, it tastes exactly like a terry's chocolate orange.
Let's see what happens in Ramstein tommorow
wait wait wait...are you telling me...are YOU TELLING ME...that the BRADLEY, isn't a jeep?
Im surpised the russians are not drafting their soviet cars, as we all know they are as good as any bradley (if you know you know)
a lada with a dshka is a fearsome weapon.
I would appreciate a similar breakdown of the fuel outlook.
Obviously Russia has plenty of fuel generating capacity but I don’t know anything about their fuel transport capacity or consumption rates.
Similarly for Ukraine, all the infrastructure attacks must be making moving fuel to the correct location at the correct time a challenge.
Tanks and IFV's tend to have truly shitty fuel efficiency. The original Abrams got around a half mile per gallon of fuel, although the more modern updates have supposedly gotten it up to 2 miles per gallon. The T-72 is in the ballpark with that, so the more you run tanks, the more fuel you need. The big problem in logistics is not how much you can move to a port, airport, or rail head, it's getting it from there to the front. That means trucks, lots and lots of trucks. Which we have seen the Russians lack.
Well if it tells you anything, Ukraine is now using STEAM locomotives.
