@@aszthrotep4632 your comment didn’t age well more like the Ukrainians managed to create battalions with the heavy tanks and armoured vehicles Russia gave them unwillingly
I cant' believe of all dictators it would be the russian one that would forget about the rasputitsa... putin might be a great spy but he sure is a lousy general
I think one takeaway here is that Ukraines military was a dysfunctional mess in 2014, but getting invaded by Russia that year snapped them to the reality of their situation, and they’ve put a rather monumental amount of time and resources into modernizing and improving their military. The Russians assumed they’d be fighting the same poorly equipped, demotivated, and paralyzed military that failed to respond in 2014. Somehow it didn’t occur to the Kremlin that Ukraine may have made some changes in the intervening 8 years.
Well, Russia never seems to change that is why instead of being a very wealthy country (which given their landmass and natural resources they could be wealthy on the scale of Norway) they would rather try to intimidate and harass other countries instead of having prosperous trade agreements with them. #Putin4DenHaag
You say poorly equipment Russians military have!? Where are you from!? Sirius,maybe!? You got on earth whit spaceship!? Broo I am from Serbia and I survives 99.war on Kosovo and Metohia (our south part of country) whit so much powerful enemy ,you can't imagine that! Believe me! They attack us with any reason! Everything streets in 98. when Albanians killed several of Serbian policemen. And that became their reason to make a party. We didn't closely look on real situation there and in lait summer that was almost every single day,killing or wounding police. They bring goats on the road and uor police SUV stop that animals go away,but it wad ambush and they come behind the Defender suv and fired 120 bullets on their vehicles,killed four and one survives!! One more time make similar ambush and that wae the end of UÇK trorist organization! US government put them on terrorists list whit al-Qaida and others,but that they change in this 98. so terrorists become KOSOVO LIBERATION ARMY!!! You can not imagine that even today in Serbia there is so many different nationalities and they have better life compared Germany!!! 100% truth! We start with police special forces and in village of chef UCK find him in house,ask to surrender and go to court,but he takes woman and children whit all family members ,around 46-48 of them. They first open fire from PKT and battle start. We came with special forces and they have done very fast that job. All of them was killed someone in underground tranches between two houses,some on the windows... And that was reason for new protests. Like we killed them because we love to killing people,no there is video tape of.all operation from asking to come out alone and surrender,until filming every one of dead people 80% of them have automatic weapons and I mean woman's also. Who killed two children we didn't know unit obduction wasn't done and built in both of them was China made from Kalashnikov also Chinese and that comes from military facilities and storages in country Albania that have border with Serbia. They steal 200 thousand small and long barrels and about million rounds of all kind. That was transferred from Albanian to our territory,first small number of equipment,later they use horses to put on them around 30 rifles ammun I will continue later ,my son is coming from school. I promise it will be really good and truth store ,because I am part of it
You are underestimating the Ukrainian Army. The Vilkha missile system fired from Smerch MLRS, guided by Tb-2 UAVS is the deadliest weapons combination in Ukraine at the moment. Precise and long ranged, it is responsible for the biggest strikes on Russian convoys so far. However, the Russians have caught on and have moved up AD systems. It is so amazing the Russians haven't "claimed the skies" and it has been a week. The Russians are also learning from their logistical problems. But like I have been saying since the war started, the Russians don't have enough men on the border to take all of Ukraine. They only had about 200,000, which they are struggling to supply. Ukraine's active Army is about the same, and their logistical situation is better, and they are proving to have high morale and are well prepared for defensive warfare in urban areas. I think Russia will look for a diplomatic solution in a few more weeks. They will have some more modest gains, but it looks like assaulting Kiev will not be possible any time soon. Unless they decide to get really dirty. - Maybe this picture is too optimistic, I don't think so.
Totally agree. It also fails to see the training from Allied countries that helped shape the army from a Soviet style command structure to a modern military platform with Russia has failed to do. The supplies coming in from other countries are old Mig29's as it's a combat plane Ukraine has trained on. Also other things given freely are older tanks and equipment. UK has already provided equipment like NLAWs that are easier to use than Javelins but as effective. Ukraine can't stop Russia if it put it's whole army into this invasion but Russia simply has not. It's also using second line air force units. The Jamming that Russia used has now been countered (Mr Musk said it was weather issues he has now corrected). Looking at the current picture Russia is getting desperate and using bigger bombs. Firing at a Nuclear power plant is desperate.
I agree with you mostly. What I disagree with is this war ending in a few weeks with a diplomatic solution. Putin has overplayed his hand and backed himself into a corner. And like any animal you back into a corner, they become very unpredictable.
@@arty5876 Thanks man, I know. I been telling people I know also, but where I live most people don't really care about the tactical situation on the ground in Ukraine.
I actually think this was spot on. The two pieces of information missing are the unlimited advanced ATGMs that Ukraine is getting and the huge morale difference between the armies. Binkov also didnt listen to his own video on the Russian Air Force. It predicts exactly the situation they are in. They only have single role planes and few guided munitions. There is no way for them to suppress distributed anti air systems if the West keeps supplying more and more. Without guided munitions, air support has to be very low and so they can even be shot down by man portable systems that are impossible to suppress. The Russian army was always doomed to lose this given our support - even if they had been really efficient. Imagine the US army fighting 300,000 Taliban fighters armed with unlimited Javelins and stingers and having NATO level intelligence. - thats what Russia is facing.
I agree with your last statement with one suggested amendment. "Imagine an untrained, poorly equipped, tragically supplied, woefully led, low-morale largely conscript US army fighting 300,000 Taliban fighters armed with unlimited Javelins and Stingers and having NATO level intelligence - thats what Russia is facing."
@@johnfranklin6394 Russian army is equipped not worser, than Ukrainian army. The level of training in Russian army before the war was little lesser, than in Ukrainian army. Russians didn't had normal supply in the start of the war, because they wanted to take all Ukraine in 3 days without resistance, so they didn't prepared the supplies. At now, after few weeks of the war, Russian army don't have problems with supply.
Some problems with this: Where is the Russian Airforce? They seem to be suffering from the same logistical issues as the ground force. While the numbers are definitely in the Russian's favor, it doesn't seem like they're using them properly. Same with the tanks and the military sometimes refusing to fight, running out of gas, or surrendering because they don't want to fight. Logistics and morale really matter too, not just the pure numbers. The numbers made it look like Ukraine would instantly crumble, but they've done surprisingly well.
It may be the big question. I don't think morale is as big an issue to the airforce (pilots don't have to look the guy they're killing in the eye), and it should be logistically easier since they're operating from Russian territory. The easiest explanation may simply be that Russia chose to hold back, perhaps hoping to legitimize their actions (certainly towards the Ukrainian people). They wish to be seen as liberators, not invaders. As that goes out the window, I'd expect Russian air and missile attacks to increase. On the other hand, if Russia recognizes they're unwanted, it may lessen their demands. Occupying a hostile people would be disastrous for Russia. Directly or through a puppet: same outcome. In a way, many of the diplomatic moves can be done right now, and fortunately it seems to me Russia and Ukraine do prefer a settlement.
@@sorsocksfake Agree. Imagine your are operating a SAM battery in Poland right now, you would likely be pinging SAM radar into nearby Ukraine airspace. A Russian pilot might not be able to tell if he's being painted by a neutral or enemy SAM. Therefore Russia may be a little worried about operating close to NATO countries, due to the risk of escalation. They may have decided it was an unnecessary risk to take, given their overwhelming advantage in mechanized ground forces. This could also explain why NATO decided against supplying the Ukraine air-force with MIG-29s from Poland etc. If your enemy is showing restraint, it's often a bad idea to escalate.

Man, that's just unfortunate. Even if your analysis is based on good sources and and well thought out logical conclusions, you can't really predict stupid. And this is exactly what is happening here. The utter incompetence on display by russian command is what allowed this war to go the way it did. SOF and territorial defense brigades harassing overextended and exposed russian supply chains while the main force is bogged down by prepared and entrenched regular troops. The relatively smaller ukrainian recon capability compensated for by commercial drones and civilian population live streaming russian troop movements. Russian air force refusing to enter ukrainian airspace too terrified of the older ukrainian sams, leaving ukrainian supply lines utterly unmolested. Corruption, all of the corruption. Russia wanted to demonstrate it's military capability, they wanted to show the world their own "desert storm", and they fell flat on their stupid fucking faces.

I think the biggest lessons from the recent days are how important logistics and pessimistic planning is. And the effectivness of javelins, NLAWs and manpads for a defending force
Javelins and NLAWs have performed atrociously if we're going by how many tanks they've destroyed compared to how Ukraine has Here are tanks that have been destroyed by a top attack penetration: 1 T-72B (maybe) 1 T-72B3 3 T-72B3M 1 T-80BV 1 T-80U that's 7 tanks destroyed out of 3000+ top attack weapons....

Turns out a lack of recon isn't a huge problem when any civilian in occupied territory can just snap a quick video of enemy troops and upload their location to social media.
Negative. I just think that the Russians have been thought out to be ass of amazing fighting force that could rival the USA and we’re starting to see that that just isn’t true do Ukrainian military is still a trash military they’re just being back by some of the greatest military this world has ever seen. I think that that’s the important distinction that we have a society point out that Ukrainian military is not better than the Russian military it’s just receiving better equipment and has better logistics for now, because at some point the American people will cease to support the Ukrainian war effort
@@mrprodigy7143 Early on they didn't have much western equipment and for the first year, almost no western air defenses. The S300 is no joke. There's a reason we rely on stealth craft and growlers. Most 4th gen aircraft are very vulnerable to the S300 and similar soviet-family of air defenses. That's why we spent the opening act of desert storm focusing on air defenses, very carefully going after it, and Iraq had a capable system, but nowhere near a former soviet republic's level. Ukraine did a very good job with good Soviet-era air defense equipment, and the Russians bungled everything from espionage to pilot training to their own air defenses and electronic warefare. F16s won't change that. The Ukrainians will still be restricted to their own airspace.
16:56 despite their low numbers, they are extremely crucial on the battlefield and have been conducting strikes on Russian convoys with great effectiveness.

1. You can only compare forces Russia can actually get into Ukraine. Russia still has commitments in Syria, the east, the Baltics, and internally. 2. Ukraine's military is all in because they are fighting on home soil. Russia is not. 3. Ukraine sits on its stockpiles of logistics. Russia must bring it in and it appears they aren't good at it. 4. Ukraine is getting top-shelf tier 1 intel from the West. That is a force multiplier as to when and where to apply battle power. 5. The cost. Russia hasn't proved itself as an occupier. Holding a nation whose government is not recognized, a populace that is hostile, and infrastructure that diminished, with troops with low morale is not going to work short or long-term.

The Russian army is a mockup. They have a lot of 1980s equipment, some upgraded, few modern technology. But they lack everything in command and tactical communication, battlefield recon, lack in modern maneuver warfare tactics. The Russian army is still mentally in 1980s Afghan war. This is no coincidence they had spectacular losses in Grozny, Chechnya. Most fundings for military were stolen by Putin's people. This is why the T-14 tank project is way delayed.

The numerical advantage Russia has as far as tanks and armored vehicles doesn't do it any good when they don't have enough fuel to keep them running. As far as the number of troops Russia has is also deceiving. All those Ukranian soldiers are motivated to fight for their country's freedom and their way of life. Russia has a bunch of kids who didn't even know they were going to war until they started getting shot at. Sure, Russia has a good amount of professional soldiers that will follow orders and fight hard. But when their enemy is nothing but people who will die fighting rather then surrender and their reinforcements are 18 and 19 year olds who are only there because they don't have any other choice, the playing field is a little more level. Great video Binkov
Russia has more than what it needs to conquer the country. It will just be longer, bloodier and far more ugly than what they hoped. Seeing that russian convoy bunched up on the roads for days without getting barbecued makes me believe they have achieved air superiority. The real question for Putin is will it be worth it in the end.
It's the same with soldiers and food, while the star of the show are obviously the guided ATGMs, NATO military aid has included shit tons of military rations. Russian soldiers are going days without food while Ukrainians are being fed by the whole world to carry on their fight.
The first few days saw Russians quiet restrained with their tactics, they barely used the artillery and just pushed columns through leading to heavy losses (especially among the logistical and support units) to ambushes and artillery strikes. That seems to be changing and they are using artillery and ground attack planes more. I think they underestimated the Ukrainian morale to be same as 2014 when the military just folded or what fought was simply wrecked; the lack of artillery and bombing preparation before assaults (to prevent unnecessary civilian casualties) also slowed the Russians. P.S yes the Russians are using weapons and some civilians have been killed but that is no where what damage they would be inflicting if they operated like their military is designed to do like they did in 2nd Chechen war, Georgia and Syria
Yeah I think people are forgetting if Russia really wanted to go hard, we would see entire cities like Kharkov and Kiev absolutely flattened by days long artillery bombardments.

Most of Ukraines reservists didn't get the chance to mobilize, but that's of little consequence. Ukraine is fighting a defensive war.

I am an Ukranian and write this from Poltava 2 hours away from main hot spots. Unfortunately, this video provides somewhat wrong impression of the situation on the ground. First although the number of Russian troops may be correct to call them well equipped or combat ready is incorrect you by this point you can see hundreds of video report of Russian armor and troops. There are invading forces moistly comprised of fresh conscripts that were bullied in to signing the contract most of them are 18-21-year-old with the same old soviet gear, with no food or water, mixed among them are Police units, swats teams, and Vagner mercenaries + some air born troops. Only the latter two gropes have actual fighting experience. There vehicles are mostly old T72 and other tech from Afghan war, + all of them are short on fuel, food, water, and most importantly moral, most of them surrender after their first engagement. The same is true of their Air force, despite their aperient overvelmig numbers, they did not manage to establish air superiority or to conduct a single successful airborne landing, and they did try to do that 3 or 4 times but they have been repelled each time with all paratroops killed to the man each time. So all in all looking at this it is fair to assume that Russian military, as a modern fighting force mostly exist on paper and even when taken on face value, we do have more Javelins that they do tanks, so their armor is pretty useless in any urban scenario. We also receive a shit tone of aid not just in form of infantry equipment but also SAMs and Jets. And when you talk numbers of troops on our you have to keep in mind that their troops include the support and logistic personal and on our side that role is basically being entirely fulfilled by our civil population including me + a lot of stuff such as patrols and reconnaissance is being conducted by police and civil population why would you need reconnaissance on our side when all of their movements are being broadcasted live to high command by tic tock users and anyone with the smartphone. Finally, we have won the moral game now they do not fight our armed forces they fight 40 million strong nation that will not surrender. Glory to Ukraine!!!

Russia's forces have serious issues with unit cohesion, communications and almost a complete lack of combined operations warfare.They seem to be very tough on paper but in execution they are struggling. Comms are completely unsecured, free intel everywhere. Unless they can very quickly encircle major cities, the Ukranians will be able to continue to pick them off one by one and continue dominating in street battles. We're gonna see Grozny 2.0. Cities are going to be levelled if they cannot be taken or starved out.
@Two-Shots Ukraine isn't mountains like Afghanistan or has much steep terrain. The mere fact that there are gaint armor columns stalled out and nobody is moving means the Russians are in deep trouble.
I think what makes it so hard is the lack of morale. I mean the soldiers must know this is not really a war to defend the integrity of their homeland. Soldiers that don't believe in the battle won't execute well. There is no need to die in this war and therefore hard to get support.
This is why GFP index and even most of Binkovs videos are inaccurate despite accounting for quality of weapons, unlike GFP. they don't account for morale and willingness to fight.
Another sad example that military spending may be unjustified and painful in peacetime but soon as the war inevitably hits... You sure going to wish you spent more, trained more, took it more seriously etc.
In fairness. Certain countries are more at risk of war than others. The US doesn't have land borders with any enemy nation. Unlike Ukraine, which was directly beside its most likely invader. I would say there a justifiable reason for some countries to curb their spending, though obviously not entirely. Building up your own infrastructure can make you military more powerful in the long run.
This review is getting more dated every day. It questions Ukrainian morale (very high). It seems to take high Russian morale for granted. And no mention here of the effects of General Mud. Even in later times in WWII, the Soviet Army got stymied just as much as did the German Army when the Mud Season started. And Russia's attack on Ukraine started in winter, but Mud has come early this year. Climate Change? Pretty clear evidence to me that Putin was told by his generals (or Putin told them) that Ukraine wouldn't seriously resist. The failed airborne assault on Kiev is pretty proof positive of that. As if the paratroop drop portion of Operation: Market Garden had been carried out by the British First Airborne Division alone (At Arnhem) and not having the US 82nd Airborne (At Nyjmegen) and US 101st Airborne (At Eindhoven) to open the routes to Arnhem. The British got slaughtered as it was, with less than 2000 troops escaping. At Kiev, the Russian paratroopers were apparently completely wiped out. So much for questioning Ukrainian morale.
Yea, The Reds can't fight their way out of a paper bag it looks like. As a Polish person, it warms my heart to see Russian imperialism finally march to its grave and the 'Russian Military' is no longer a boogeyman like it was in the past. They'd get their faces smashed if they touched NATO, and now I think they know that too which makes them far less dangerous to the world. Not to Ukraine, but now Russia has made an enemy for generations, which will drain their resources and hopefully land putin on the gallows.
The problem with Russia is that it is a blitzkrieg army. But as soon as it get's bogged down it starts to completely fall apart. The morale is low, logistics are non existent, and the equipment is in a much worse state than the Ukrainians. It has taken so many losses that they now need to reinforce with tanks from the pacifics. They still haven't got air superiority by 6-3-2022 and have only taken 1 city, which they don't control at all since everybody hates their guts. The army might have numbers, but it in a sorry state, and that counts as well for the high command that doesn't seem to know what they are doing.
Well the thing is, you need logistics for a Blitzkrieg army. So I wouldn't call it a blitzkrieg army. The Russian Arm is specialized in terror against cities in small and helpless countries. That about it. As soon as it faces a real opponent, it gets difficult.
@@OhmeinGottVIIC Yes you need logistics, but these come after the army has captured deep enough into enemy territory. Normally the army has about 4 or 5 days to get enough ground so that logistics can move in and set up distribution centers. The problem is that 3 or 4 battalions that were supposed to spread after the capture of Kiev are still very close to eachother, with only 1 road leading to them. Setting up a distribution center along that one road doesn't make sense. The convoy also can't really move because then they will be in striking distance of artillery and raids. The Russians failed to knock out the striking power of the Ukrainians. If they move and get bombarded the convoy will have to stop all the time to remove the wreckage of the destroyed vehicles, and then it has to stop within striking range of enemy artillery, which makes it even worse than just staying there far away from the front.
@@shlomoshlomo963 Yes, but they didn't get stuck on the border cities they encountered. They captured strategic locations such as crossroads or infrastructure hubs for logistic bases to supply the front with ammo. The Russians are trying to resupply 3 or 4 stuck battalions over 1 small single road. The first infrastructure hub or crossroad would be Kiev itself.
@@nikolamilicevic1040 What maps? The Russian maps? On the Russian maps half of Ukraine is allready red. IT's a lie. It's propaganda. Get some real sources.
I would hope that this war is not going to be a 1-to-1 of the Winter War, considering the USSR did win that war in the end and took considerable amounts of land from Finland that Russia still holds to this day...
People tend to forget or ignore that the USSR won that war in the end. It will be the same this time around. Ukraine will fight till their last breath but will lose in the end.
One thing this war has shown is that, without the threat of nukes, the Russian army would get absolutely housed by the US military. The supposed capabilities of the vaunted Russian military have been greatly exaggerated. It also shows that when it comes to combined arms operations the US is in a league of its own.
Its almost scary to think what nato would do. Kinda shows the futility of this being an anti nato conflict. Because if it came to conventional forces of nato vs Putin… its becoming clearer how this would play out. Putin has his nukes, from this disaster it’s clear that a pro Putin regime will not be enough. Wish he’d just keep his nukes and not invade, just shows weakness off more.
THIS THIS. People honestly have no idea the capability of the US war machine at its maximum. It will steam roll any nation it wants (conventional wars only) in the long run. NO nation in the world has the experience it has in warfare, logistics and being able to put fire power on the ground through mass combined arms. Multiple carrier battle groups, huge ground forces, largest navy, largest air force. Just look at its logistics and income during world war 2. No country came close to how many ships, armor, planes and $$$ it was spitting out. Its a damn military power house. And for those who will mention Afghanistan the US never fought the Afghan National army. It was fighting insurgents. You cant fight insurgents conventionally when they hide in civilian populace and cave systems. But if the Taliban met on the battlefield it would be erased within 1 day tops. The same goes for Vietnam. The US was never allowed to cross the DMZ due to risk of nuclear war with China and USSR. But if it did we all know Hanoi would have been crushed within a week tops.
@@voidwalker9223 Yeah, cool, but asymmetric war is in the equation as the logic way to fight a much powerful opponent, and US has demonstrated its forces are not enough to win in "the long run", sorry.
@@urundael oh I agree with you there. I think that goes to show the power of a proper insurgency and why "nation building" is a fool's errand. I only made two statements, that Russia's military would get housed by the US military in a straight up conventional fight, and that when it comes to combined arms warfare, i.e. being able to set realistic goals and achieve them in a smooth manner well coordinated amongst all assets, the US is much better than anyone else. Honestly, that's as it should be considering how much is spent on it. It's just startling to see one of the US few supposed "near peer" militaries putting on this kind of showing. Don't get it twisted, Russia can still "win" but it ain't gonna be pretty and when/if the actual insurgency starts its gonna be horrific.
We need to be careful with this aswell. Unless russia actually tries to push into all of the major cities, the armed militia wont really do much. It cant break sieges onto cities, and I dont think the majority of people taking up arms are willing to starve to death in their homes(the prospect of it atleast). And a lot of info about morale on either side (reported from either side about the other aswell) is most likely not 100% true to what is actually the case on the ground. I just hope that the casualties dont escalate too much...
@@rodi8266 I hapened to have lived in Ukraine and talk to friends who are fighting every day and you could not be more wrong. No one will ever give up even if russia would occupy the entire country. The country would be a warzone for years after with guerilla attacks every day. You might not understand Ukranian spirit unless you lived there but there is no giving up. Freedom or Death is the saying.
Yea, if you watch the videos on Russia for example you might think it's impressive, but then you see how Russia actually performs in a war with all that military hardware, and it's just outright embarrassing, they STILL don't have air superiority a week into the war. If this conflict has shown us anything, in a conventional war the west would ABSOLUTELY steam roll Russian and it wouldn't even be a contest.
@@nathanwillan2159 Yet you mentioned equipment and number of personal to which I expanded upon with a current example of how that alone does not matter, cry more nerd lmao.
You didn't talk about the logistics of the russian army in Ukraine, which most military analysts seen to agree it's at least in an undesirable state with some saying it's in shambles as the ukrainians seen to have at least their soldiers basic needs such as food and ammunition sorted out, as well as being able to obtain the former from civilians which most seen to be ok with. Also you compared a lot of the ukrainian hardware with the most modern Russia has which is very different from the situation on the field as Russia is fallowing the old soviet strategy of throwing mostly their outdated hardware and conscript force to the meat grinder first, yes there have been some instances of T-72B3, T-90A, and T-80BVM being spoted in the front or even being captured but the majority of their armored forces in Ukraine at the moment are T-72B and light armored vehicle like the BMD-4 which although a capable modern vehicle, they were made to support the VDV in air assault operation behind enemy lines not as breakthrough vehicle as Russia has been using them, anyone with a basic understanding of armored vehicles can tell you that a BMD-4 has no chance against a proper MBT in a direct confrontation, even against the outdated bulk of the Ukrainian armor the T-64BV and that is not taking the AT missile launcher Ukraine has at its disposal that would not kill a light armored vehicle but completely obliterate it, opening it like a can of sardine.
Russia stinks at logistics, but there is no way progress is this slow, given Ukraine has a reasonable Soviet road system and there has been no opposition to Russian forces. Likely, the slow advance is due to Russian forces meticuously avoiding civilian casualties, so establishment Western media companies and billionaire funded NGOs have no PR material to edit a narrative with.
@@prizrak-br3332 I haven't seen any footage. The word on the civilians is that when zionist zelensky released the old kalashnikovs in kiev, armed gangs and thugs starting maurading in the city.
"Russia has over 350K well trained active service ground troops" If these are the troops we have been seeing over the last few days my money would be on the green Ukrainians, let alone the trained and experienced ones.
@Daniel Parke It has been seven days this is not a video game. Ukraine is the second biggest country in Europe. Russia already has the air and sea under their control. I think they win if NATO continues it's nap.
The biggest difference is a great morale of the Ukranian soldiers, they are fighting for their freedom while Russian conscripts have no idea why they are there.
Dear Binkov, on the chance that you read this, are you surprised by Russia's seemingly poor performance so far? It's only a week into the war and I'm no military expert, but it seems to be going pretty poorly for Russia.
It took Germany 6 weeks to conquer Poland ... just saying, ruskis have taken 1/3 of the country with 2000 civilian death by UA reports, so probably less, how is that a failure? Xd
In a video made shortly before the war broke out, he predicted more or less what is happening now, just with a more determined and capable Russian army and without the extra front via Belarus, which seems to balance the predictions out.
@@---ii8hl up to you, I just find funny watching westerners cope with the most probable reality, since actual numbers won't be known after months of the end. And before u say I'm a Russian spy for saying westerners I'm from south America...
What I find interesting, is that a week in and the Ukrainian air force is still a going concern. I would have expected Russia to have eliminated it by now.
I think Russia's progress towards destroying Ukraine's air force might be due to a lack of intel(Russia has neglected drone technology development in favor of better missiles) and a more robust Ukrainian anti-air defense capability then expected. I've heard some reports that Russia might have lost more fighters then they expected in the initial wave of strikes due to SAM capabilities which might account for why there have been far less sightings of Russian aircraft and more rocket launches as the war has progressed. Also Ukrainian drones from Turkey don't require a runway to launch so they'll be an ongoing concern even if all runways are neutralized or secured until they are all destroyed. That might be part of the reason the column advancing on Kyiv has stalled as they seem to have it covered by air but cannot fully control Kyiv's airspace. Meaning if they advance too far they might come under fire from TB-2 drones which can take off on the city streets of Kyiv, they would be difficult(near impossible) to shoot down out of a SAM umbrella and could do considerable damage to a convoy that large and packed together. I could be totally wrong on that, but I do believe Russia's inability to completely annihilate Ukraine's air and air-defense systems nearing a week into the invasion is a serious failing on the part of Russia's command staff and will lead to mounting casualties until addressed. What are your thoughts on it?
@@simplicius11 Not concern, interest. Ukraine has approx 100 combat aircraft compared to approx 4000 Russian ones, I would expect a 40 to 1 ratio to be decisive. Maybe it is just me.
@@drpainglove3389 both the Mig 29 and SU 25 are capable of operating off of rough airfields, so I expect Ukraine dispersed them before the invasion began. I see nothing wrong with your assessment, but I must say, I have no real experience with the subject.
I love this channel because it's one of the few ones that won't try to distort the truth to push an agenda or give their spin to the facts. Thank you, General Binkov!
Being pinned in place and methodically encircled is not a winning strategy. If Russia wanted to, they could "elimate" the majority of UA BTGs in 48hrs of heavy/rocket artillery. They just are trying to keep UA casualties to a min while achieving their political objectives
@@vijaymehra1101 No. Putin will not launch big nukes, because Russia itself has only Moscow and St.Petersburg as easy targets. China can take few tactical nukes as it can retaliate as badly as needed. So if Putin wants to make bussines towards China, China will only grow ever stronger.
@@vijaymehra1101 Thing is, would anyone actually use nukes? How willing is someone to end themselves and everyone else in a nuclear apocalypse without even trying to fight back for control? What I think could happen is that the defender would use the nukes as a last suicidal resort when all other options are gone and they are sure that their people would be heavily persecuted in case of an occupation.
I know you made a joke but let me tell you all my childhood i had parents earning 40 and 60 equivalent in dollars , monthly . We lived in new 3 then 4 bedroom apt , had no problem eating , we got power , water etc . The catch was no chocolate , no juices , no gadgets and for a shitty car a engineer like my father woud have payed the western equivalent of a Lambo .We didn't choose to buy one luckyly and as a result everything else was within reach (if it was available , that is ...). Main way to entertain was DYI and reading . It was a chill lifestyle , no glory , no suffering .Quite balanced i would say after 30 years experiencing the other side .
I thought Vladimir Putin understood the laws of modern warfare. A mostly conscript army without the best equipment is not going to have luck attacking without air support. Ukraines air defense is pretty significant.
Air warfare goes against centuries of Russian military strategy. The Russian military is and has been for ages an artillery-first military. Almost all of their entire thinking about warfare revolves around use of artillery.
Yes. I mean the Russians will certainly win or at least encircle the cities and Ukrainian brigades. The big question is how long they can sustain the offensives. Also the total numbers for the Russians aren't as relevant since they have massive borders that need guarding and they wouldn't be bringing their total numbers to bare even in the best of circumstances. I think even though they are making some steady advances and I'm the Ukrainians are having a rough time of it, the Russian losses are going to pile up for sure.
@@nutyyyy They offensives already break. Ukrainians advised by NATO deliberately forced them in attrition war beyond range of own supply lines and Grozne style city occupation. It is now for Ukraine spirit, but Russians already lost face as real military power. Not be surprised if China invade them.
@@TheRezro Don't be too optimistic. Right now Russia clearly has the upper hand. But over time this may change. After even Luxemburg, Sweden and Swiss stood up for Ukraine the cause was basically lost for Russia. Questions are how long it will take and if ther will be a face saving way out for Putin.
As the average Russia enjoyer, it worries me what Putin is doing to the economy of the Motherland, from a global power, to a country thats gonna have less friends than North Korea
@@nutyyyy Yes and no, depends on how it is measured. On Purchasing Power Parity it is much bigger than Spain's... But they mainly export commodities, nothing I own that is complex or requires technology is Russian. They don't provide cutting edge services either. Basically, they're an army with a country that's a backwards technological mess.
the usa learned a valuable lesson in vietnam: it dosent matter how many tanks, planes or ships you have. If the enemy wants to keep fighting with sticks and stones, they will. This was applied to soviet invasion of afghanastan in the 80's. us did not supply troops, they did however, supply stingers and training to mujahadeen. this in turn made sovet occupation extremly expensive (high flying planes still need to land eventually to offload troops/cargo. this is when stingers are most effective). as long as ukraine is fighting, as long as they are getting stingers and javelins, russia cannot hold the terrotory. they can occupy, they can target civilians, but unless the population yelds to their rule, it will become too expensive. 30% unit casualty rate is considered to be an 'ineffective' unit. They don't need to down every plane or destroy every tank, just make it expensive to occupy.
It really makes me wonder what history would be like if we tried to invade Japan instead of having their surrender. What if we just stayed in there until we couldn't and to this day Japan was like some barbaric North Korea like-nation run by a successor government to the Imperialist regime? If we couldn't force liberalization on them like we did they might have been picking fights with Japan and South Korea for the rest of the 20th century
Check Israel, with 50k soldiers and some planes, it defeated an 800k soldiers, 10k+armored vehicles and 6 nation airforces. It’s all about determination and tactics.
The main reason the US lost in Vietnam was the loss of public support. Prior to the Tet Offensive, the public was led to believe that all was well and victory was near. Suddenly thousands of Viet Cong spring up behind American lines in a huge PR disaster for the government. It didn't matter that the Tet Offensive was a failure and most of the North Vietnamese troops were annihilated, they succeeded in turning the American public against the war. After the war, Vietnamese leaders admitted they would have lost militarily to the US.
@@SWiTFSHoW I wish I knew more about the 6 Days war but IIRC tech factor was a major thing in that conflict too. The Israelis had a fairly modern air force going up against rusty surplus Soviet exports, T72s and Migs. Yet another factor we're seeing recreated here.

I expect you is right my friend, all the situation in ukraine is very sad. Still hurts a lot don't listen "Binkov may talk about hypotetical wars" but still only real peace can bring us all together.
Didn't know until recently that Ukraine fields the t64 with improvements. The t64 is legendary and Ukraine ended up with the factory that made them. When I was in the army the t64 was rated slightly better than the t72 despite it being designed in the late 50s and built in 60s.
Actually, no, T-64 is somewhat worse than T-72. During the Afghan war, Soviets decided to take T-55s and T-62s to Afghan instead of T-64, since its’ engine is really bad.

For people slandering him, remember that nobody thought Russia would be this incompetent. Everyone thought that they were still a world superpower and military powerhouse. Nobody expected this in their wildest dreams and we can't figure out how this happened.
@Zybernetics they seem to have little ability to deal with typical modern weaponry like javlins and drones. How is it that an airport with a dozen Russian helicopters was just struck and destroyed yesterday? 21 days into the "special operation". How does Russia not yet have air superiority? Or rather. If they do, how are they failing at it so bad that a drone can sneak by them and destroy 10 of their attack helicopters? Also, the cages over their T-72S, what's up with that? Seems completely ineffective against javelins. I suppose I just thought they would have been more prepared to deal with common threats on a modern battlefield. But what do I know, I'm just an idiot on the internet. I suppose I just had higher standards for Russias military than this.
Warfare has moved on, these are the days of the drone, Javelin, NLAW and stinger, satellite and battlefield imagery and sensors. Big armies are now just one thing, big targets. A simple civilian with a couple of hours training and armed with a shoulder launch can take out multi million $ systems and when you have an unlimited supply of these and they are motivated any standing army will face enormous difficulties. I expect Russia to eventually gain its military objectives (at huge cost) but what after that ? Are they going to occupy The Ukraine? Will the Ukrainian people have such a massive about turn that they accept this occupying force ?
Absolutely. Maybe they will be able to occupy the country. But weapons will find their way into Ukraine, an they will find people willing to use them. This might be Putins Vietnam.

I think one takeaway here is that Ukraines military was a dysfunctional mess in 2014, but getting invaded by Russia that year snapped them to the reality of their situation, and they’ve put a rather monumental amount of time and resources into modernizing and improving their military. The Russians assumed they’d be fighting the same poorly equipped, demotivated, and paralyzed military that failed to respond in 2014. Somehow it didn’t occur to the Kremlin that Ukraine may have made some changes in the intervening 8 years.
well als the battles of 2014 were bloodly and brutal...in both sides taking loses
Well, Russia never seems to change that is why instead of being a very wealthy country (which given their landmass and natural resources they could be wealthy on the scale of Norway) they would rather try to intimidate and harass other countries instead of having prosperous trade agreements with them.

You are underestimating the Ukrainian Army. The Vilkha missile system fired from Smerch MLRS, guided by Tb-2 UAVS is the deadliest weapons combination in Ukraine at the moment. Precise and long ranged, it is responsible for the biggest strikes on Russian convoys so far. However, the Russians have caught on and have moved up AD systems. It is so amazing the Russians haven't "claimed the skies" and it has been a week. The Russians are also learning from their logistical problems. But like I have been saying since the war started, the Russians don't have enough men on the border to take all of Ukraine. They only had about 200,000, which they are struggling to supply. Ukraine's active Army is about the same, and their logistical situation is better, and they are proving to have high morale and are well prepared for defensive warfare in urban areas. I think Russia will look for a diplomatic solution in a few more weeks. They will have some more modest gains, but it looks like assaulting Kiev will not be possible any time soon. Unless they decide to get really dirty. - Maybe this picture is too optimistic, I don't think so.
Totally agree. It also fails to see the training from Allied countries that helped shape the army from a Soviet style command structure to a modern military platform with Russia has failed to do.
The supplies coming in from other countries are old Mig29's as it's a combat plane Ukraine has trained on. Also other things given freely are older tanks and equipment. UK has already provided equipment like NLAWs that are easier to use than Javelins but as effective.
Ukraine can't stop Russia if it put it's whole army into this invasion but Russia simply has not. It's also using second line air force units. The Jamming that Russia used has now been countered (Mr Musk said it was weather issues he has now corrected).
Looking at the current picture Russia is getting desperate and using bigger bombs. Firing at a Nuclear power plant is desperate.
I agree with you mostly. What I disagree with is this war ending in a few weeks with a diplomatic solution. Putin has overplayed his hand and backed himself into a corner. And like any animal you back into a corner, they become very unpredictable.
You was completely right
@@arty5876 Thanks man, I know. I been telling people I know also, but where I live most people don't really care about the tactical situation on the ground in Ukraine.
I actually think this was spot on. The two pieces of information missing are the unlimited advanced ATGMs that Ukraine is getting and the huge morale difference between the armies. Binkov also didnt listen to his own video on the Russian Air Force. It predicts exactly the situation they are in. They only have single role planes and few guided munitions. There is no way for them to suppress distributed anti air systems if the West keeps supplying more and more. Without guided munitions, air support has to be very low and so they can even be shot down by man portable systems that are impossible to suppress. The Russian army was always doomed to lose this given our support - even if they had been really efficient. Imagine the US army fighting 300,000 Taliban fighters armed with unlimited Javelins and stingers and having NATO level intelligence. - thats what Russia is facing.
I agree with your last statement with one suggested amendment. "Imagine an untrained, poorly equipped, tragically supplied, woefully led, low-morale largely conscript US army fighting 300,000 Taliban fighters armed with unlimited Javelins and Stingers and having NATO level intelligence - thats what Russia is facing."
@@johnfranklin6394 Russian army is equipped not worser, than Ukrainian army. The level of training in Russian army before the war was little lesser, than in Ukrainian army. Russians didn't had normal supply in the start of the war, because they wanted to take all Ukraine in 3 days without resistance, so they didn't prepared the supplies. At now, after few weeks of the war, Russian army don't have problems with supply.
Some problems with this: Where is the Russian Airforce? They seem to be suffering from the same logistical issues as the ground force. While the numbers are definitely in the Russian's favor, it doesn't seem like they're using them properly. Same with the tanks and the military sometimes refusing to fight, running out of gas, or surrendering because they don't want to fight.
Logistics and morale really matter too, not just the pure numbers. The numbers made it look like Ukraine would instantly crumble, but they've done surprisingly well.
They are in the ground, they lost about 70 aircraft already (heli and planes)
Everything we see from the media, either Western/Russia or otherwise should be treat as war time propaganda, alot of what we are seeing is pure bs
It may be the big question. I don't think morale is as big an issue to the airforce (pilots don't have to look the guy they're killing in the eye), and it should be logistically easier since they're operating from Russian territory.
The easiest explanation may simply be that Russia chose to hold back, perhaps hoping to legitimize their actions (certainly towards the Ukrainian people). They wish to be seen as liberators, not invaders. As that goes out the window, I'd expect Russian air and missile attacks to increase.
On the other hand, if Russia recognizes they're unwanted, it may lessen their demands. Occupying a hostile people would be disastrous for Russia. Directly or through a puppet: same outcome. In a way, many of the diplomatic moves can be done right now, and fortunately it seems to me Russia and Ukraine do prefer a settlement.
@@sorsocksfake Agree. Imagine your are operating a SAM battery in Poland right now, you would likely be pinging SAM radar into nearby Ukraine airspace. A Russian pilot might not be able to tell if he's being painted by a neutral or enemy SAM. Therefore Russia may be a little worried about operating close to NATO countries, due to the risk of escalation. They may have decided it was an unnecessary risk to take, given their overwhelming advantage in mechanized ground forces. This could also explain why NATO decided against supplying the Ukraine air-force with MIG-29s from Poland etc. If your enemy is showing restraint, it's often a bad idea to escalate.
@@stevshaboba7476 If it were all pure BS Kiev would already have fallen. All of Ukraine already would have fallen. It hasn't. There are real issues with how the Russians are fighting.

Man, that's just unfortunate. Even if your analysis is based on good sources and and well thought out logical conclusions, you can't really predict stupid. And this is exactly what is happening here.
The utter incompetence on display by russian command is what allowed this war to go the way it did. SOF and territorial defense brigades harassing overextended and exposed russian supply chains while the main force is bogged down by prepared and entrenched regular troops. The relatively smaller ukrainian recon capability compensated for by commercial drones and civilian population live streaming russian troop movements. Russian air force refusing to enter ukrainian airspace too terrified of the older ukrainian sams, leaving ukrainian supply lines utterly unmolested. Corruption, all of the corruption.
Russia wanted to demonstrate it's military capability, they wanted to show the world their own "desert storm", and they fell flat on their stupid fucking faces.
Even if they regroup they still don't have the competent leadership if they tried.
Hear hear.

They wanted Desert Storm. They got Vietnam
I think the biggest lessons from the recent days are how important logistics and pessimistic planning is. And the effectivness of javelins, NLAWs and manpads for a defending force
Don't forget about how much money Turkey is going to make over this
Javelins and NLAWs have performed atrociously if we're going by how many tanks they've destroyed compared to how Ukraine has
Here are tanks that have been destroyed by a top attack penetration:
1 T-72B (maybe)
1 T-72B3
3 T-72B3M
1 T-80BV
1 T-80U
that's 7 tanks destroyed out of 3000+ top attack weapons....

This evaluation didn't age well. Ukraine's airforce and air defenses were significantly more formidable than the Binkov team thought.
Negative. I just think that the Russians have been thought out to be ass of amazing fighting force that could rival the USA and we’re starting to see that that just isn’t true do Ukrainian military is still a trash military they’re just being back by some of the greatest military this world has ever seen. I think that that’s the important distinction that we have a society point out that Ukrainian military is not better than the Russian military it’s just receiving better equipment and has better logistics for now, because at some point the American people will cease to support the Ukrainian war effort
@@mrprodigy7143 Early on they didn't have much western equipment and for the first year, almost no western air defenses. The S300 is no joke. There's a reason we rely on stealth craft and growlers. Most 4th gen aircraft are very vulnerable to the S300 and similar soviet-family of air defenses. That's why we spent the opening act of desert storm focusing on air defenses, very carefully going after it, and Iraq had a capable system, but nowhere near a former soviet republic's level. Ukraine did a very good job with good Soviet-era air defense equipment, and the Russians bungled everything from espionage to pilot training to their own air defenses and electronic warefare.
F16s won't change that. The Ukrainians will still be restricted to their own airspace.
16:56 despite their low numbers, they are extremely crucial on the battlefield and have been conducting strikes on Russian convoys with great effectiveness.

1. You can only compare forces Russia can actually get into Ukraine. Russia still has commitments in Syria, the east, the Baltics, and internally.
2. Ukraine's military is all in because they are fighting on home soil. Russia is not.
3. Ukraine sits on its stockpiles of logistics. Russia must bring it in and it appears they aren't good at it.
4. Ukraine is getting top-shelf tier 1 intel from the West. That is a force multiplier as to when and where to apply battle power.
5. The cost. Russia hasn't proved itself as an occupier. Holding a nation whose government is not recognized, a populace that is hostile, and infrastructure that diminished, with troops with low morale is not going to work short or long-term.
Ukraine is also getting a Foreign Legion of troops, maybe a few thousand, but most well trained and could be very effective.

It is ironic that the Russian military could have easily taken over all of the entire Eastern part of the Ukraine back in 2014 because almost all of the active duty Ukrainian military was "out of town" on overseas United Nations peacekeeping missions or "away missions" in both Liberia and Iraq at the exact same time when the pro-Russian "little green men" took the Crimea Peninsula away from the Ukraine and gave the Crimea Peninsula back to Russia.

The Russian army is a mockup. They have a lot of 1980s equipment, some upgraded, few modern technology. But they lack everything in command and tactical communication, battlefield recon, lack in modern maneuver warfare tactics. The Russian army is still mentally in 1980s Afghan war. This is no coincidence they had spectacular losses in Grozny, Chechnya. Most fundings for military were stolen by Putin's people. This is why the T-14 tank project is way delayed.

The numerical advantage Russia has as far as tanks and armored vehicles doesn't do it any good when they don't have enough fuel to keep them running. As far as the number of troops Russia has is also deceiving. All those Ukranian soldiers are motivated to fight for their country's freedom and their way of life. Russia has a bunch of kids who didn't even know they were going to war until they started getting shot at. Sure, Russia has a good amount of professional soldiers that will follow orders and fight hard. But when their enemy is nothing but people who will die fighting rather then surrender and their reinforcements are 18 and 19 year olds who are only there because they don't have any other choice, the playing field is a little more level. Great video Binkov
Russia has more than what it needs to conquer the country. It will just be longer, bloodier and far more ugly than what they hoped. Seeing that russian convoy bunched up on the roads for days without getting barbecued makes me believe they have achieved air superiority. The real question for Putin is will it be worth it in the end.
It's the same with soldiers and food, while the star of the show are obviously the guided ATGMs, NATO military aid has included shit tons of military rations. Russian soldiers are going days without food while Ukrainians are being fed by the whole world to carry on their fight.
The first few days saw Russians quiet restrained with their tactics, they barely used the artillery and just pushed columns through leading to heavy losses (especially among the logistical and support units) to ambushes and artillery strikes. That seems to be changing and they are using artillery and ground attack planes more. I think they underestimated the Ukrainian morale to be same as 2014 when the military just folded or what fought was simply wrecked; the lack of artillery and bombing preparation before assaults (to prevent unnecessary civilian casualties) also slowed the Russians.
P.S yes the Russians are using weapons and some civilians have been killed but that is no where what damage they would be inflicting if they operated like their military is designed to do like they did in 2nd Chechen war, Georgia and Syria
Yeah I think people are forgetting if Russia really wanted to go hard, we would see entire cities like Kharkov and Kiev absolutely flattened by days long artillery bombardments.

it's been a week and the russians still have yet to achieve their day one objective. they have taken no strategic territory, and have resorted to artillery because they can't get their invasion force 20-40KM from the belorussian border, to surround kyiv to properly seige the city. they were after capitualtion after decapitating the government in the first 2 days, and spending the next 2 weeks doing clean up and changing hearts and minds (or what ever the russian equivilant is). it's been 8+ days and the only place they have REALLY secured is a city they have lost once already and only took back because the main defencive force pulled out.

@@teemuvesala9575 But both ways are war crimes.
I am an Ukranian and write this from Poltava 2 hours away from main hot spots. Unfortunately, this video provides somewhat wrong impression of the situation on the ground. First although the number of Russian troops may be correct to call them well equipped or combat ready is incorrect you by this point you can see hundreds of video report of Russian armor and troops. There are invading forces moistly comprised of fresh conscripts that were bullied in to signing the contract most of them are 18-21-year-old with the same old soviet gear, with no food or water, mixed among them are Police units, swats teams, and Vagner mercenaries + some air born troops. Only the latter two gropes have actual fighting experience. There vehicles are mostly old T72 and other tech from Afghan war, + all of them are short on fuel, food, water, and most importantly moral, most of them surrender after their first engagement.
The same is true of their Air force, despite their aperient overvelmig numbers, they did not manage to establish air superiority or to conduct a single successful airborne landing, and they did try to do that 3 or 4 times but they have been repelled each time with all paratroops killed to the man each time. So all in all looking at this it is fair to assume that Russian military, as a modern fighting force mostly exist on paper and even when taken on face value, we do have more Javelins that they do tanks, so their armor is pretty useless in any urban scenario. We also receive a shit tone of aid not just in form of infantry equipment but also SAMs and Jets.
And when you talk numbers of troops on our you have to keep in mind that their troops include the support and logistic personal and on our side that role is basically being entirely fulfilled by our civil population including me + a lot of stuff such as patrols and reconnaissance is being conducted by police and civil population why would you need reconnaissance on our side when all of their movements are being broadcasted live to high command by tic tock users and anyone with the smartphone.
Finally, we have won the moral game now they do not fight our armed forces they fight 40 million strong nation that will not surrender.
Glory to Ukraine!!!
Are they gaining grounds?
Good luck my friend and stay safe. I think we can all see the Russians are not as formidable as expected. You are putting up a very brave defence.

Comms are completely unsecured, free intel everywhere. Unless they can very quickly encircle major cities, the Ukranians will be able to continue to pick them off one by one and continue dominating in street battles. We're gonna see Grozny 2.0. Cities are going to be levelled if they cannot be taken or starved out.

@Two-Shots Ukraine isn't mountains like Afghanistan or has much steep terrain. The mere fact that there are gaint armor columns stalled out and nobody is moving means the Russians are in deep trouble.
@@rodofgod5262 No. They want to secure the sea coastline first and create a supply lane before they attack lyiv and Kyiv
I think what makes it so hard is the lack of morale. I mean the soldiers must know this is not really a war to defend the integrity of their homeland. Soldiers that don't believe in the battle won't execute well. There is no need to die in this war and therefore hard to get support.
The Ukrainian army is far stronger than the German army here with me. Solely because of the more militaristic attitude of the people
This is why GFP index and even most of Binkovs videos are inaccurate despite accounting for quality of weapons, unlike GFP. they don't account for morale and willingness to fight.
@Pingu Rage and also because their equiptment actually works
Germany has an army?
Another sad example that military spending may be unjustified and painful in peacetime but soon as the war inevitably hits... You sure going to wish you spent more, trained more, took it more seriously etc.
In fairness. Certain countries are more at risk of war than others. The US doesn't have land borders with any enemy nation. Unlike Ukraine, which was directly beside its most likely invader. I would say there a justifiable reason for some countries to curb their spending, though obviously not entirely. Building up your own infrastructure can make you military more powerful in the long run.
Or maybe the officials enjoying the kick backs
This review is getting more dated every day. It questions Ukrainian morale (very high). It seems to take high Russian morale for granted. And no mention here of the effects of General Mud. Even in later times in WWII, the Soviet Army got stymied just as much as did the German Army when the Mud Season started. And Russia's attack on Ukraine started in winter, but Mud has come early this year. Climate Change?
Pretty clear evidence to me that Putin was told by his generals (or Putin told them) that Ukraine wouldn't seriously resist. The failed airborne assault on Kiev is pretty proof positive of that. As if the paratroop drop portion of Operation: Market Garden had been carried out by the British First Airborne Division alone (At Arnhem) and not having the US 82nd Airborne (At Nyjmegen) and US 101st Airborne (At Eindhoven) to open the routes to Arnhem. The British got slaughtered as it was, with less than 2000 troops escaping. At Kiev, the Russian paratroopers were apparently completely wiped out.
So much for questioning Ukrainian morale.
Yea, The Reds can't fight their way out of a paper bag it looks like. As a Polish person, it warms my heart to see Russian imperialism finally march to its grave and the 'Russian Military' is no longer a boogeyman like it was in the past. They'd get their faces smashed if they touched NATO, and now I think they know that too which makes them far less dangerous to the world. Not to Ukraine, but now Russia has made an enemy for generations, which will drain their resources and hopefully land putin on the gallows.
The problem with Russia is that it is a blitzkrieg army. But as soon as it get's bogged down it starts to completely fall apart. The morale is low, logistics are non existent, and the equipment is in a much worse state than the Ukrainians. It has taken so many losses that they now need to reinforce with tanks from the pacifics. They still haven't got air superiority by 6-3-2022 and have only taken 1 city, which they don't control at all since everybody hates their guts. The army might have numbers, but it in a sorry state, and that counts as well for the high command that doesn't seem to know what they are doing.
You mean Blyatskrig army? Because they are performing really bad.
Well the thing is, you need logistics for a Blitzkrieg army. So I wouldn't call it a blitzkrieg army. The Russian Arm is specialized in terror against cities in small and helpless countries. That about it.
As soon as it faces a real opponent, it gets difficult.
@@OhmeinGottVIIC Yes you need logistics, but these come after the army has captured deep enough into enemy territory. Normally the army has about 4 or 5 days to get enough ground so that logistics can move in and set up distribution centers.
The problem is that 3 or 4 battalions that were supposed to spread after the capture of Kiev are still very close to eachother, with only 1 road leading to them. Setting up a distribution center along that one road doesn't make sense.
The convoy also can't really move because then they will be in striking distance of artillery and raids. The Russians failed to knock out the striking power of the Ukrainians.
If they move and get bombarded the convoy will have to stop all the time to remove the wreckage of the destroyed vehicles, and then it has to stop within striking range of enemy artillery, which makes it even worse than just staying there far away from the front.
Bruh what? It took nazi germany 35 days to capture poland which is consider really fast and they did it with blitzkrieg strategy
@@shlomoshlomo963 Yes, but they didn't get stuck on the border cities they encountered. They captured strategic locations such as crossroads or infrastructure hubs for logistic bases to supply the front with ammo. The Russians are trying to resupply 3 or 4 stuck battalions over 1 small single road. The first infrastructure hub or crossroad would be Kiev itself.

People tend to forget or ignore that the USSR won that war in the end. It will be the same this time around. Ukraine will fight till their last breath but will lose in the end.
One thing this war has shown is that, without the threat of nukes, the Russian army would get absolutely housed by the US military. The supposed capabilities of the vaunted Russian military have been greatly exaggerated. It also shows that when it comes to combined arms operations the US is in a league of its own.
Its almost scary to think what nato would do. Kinda shows the futility of this being an anti nato conflict. Because if it came to conventional forces of nato vs Putin… its becoming clearer how this would play out. Putin has his nukes, from this disaster it’s clear that a pro Putin regime will not be enough. Wish he’d just keep his nukes and not invade, just shows weakness off more.
THIS THIS. People honestly have no idea the capability of the US war machine at its maximum. It will steam roll any nation it wants (conventional wars only) in the long run. NO nation in the world has the experience it has in warfare, logistics and being able to put fire power on the ground through mass combined arms. Multiple carrier battle groups, huge ground forces, largest navy, largest air force. Just look at its logistics and income during world war 2. No country came close to how many ships, armor, planes and $$$ it was spitting out. Its a damn military power house.
And for those who will mention Afghanistan the US never fought the Afghan National army. It was fighting insurgents. You cant fight insurgents conventionally when they hide in civilian populace and cave systems. But if the Taliban met on the battlefield it would be erased within 1 day tops. The same goes for Vietnam. The US was never allowed to cross the DMZ due to risk of nuclear war with China and USSR. But if it did we all know Hanoi would have been crushed within a week tops.
@@voidwalker9223 Yeah, cool, but asymmetric war is in the equation as the logic way to fight a much powerful opponent, and US has demonstrated its forces are not enough to win in "the long run", sorry.
@@urundael oh I agree with you there. I think that goes to show the power of a proper insurgency and why "nation building" is a fool's errand.
I only made two statements, that Russia's military would get housed by the US military in a straight up conventional fight, and that when it comes to combined arms warfare, i.e. being able to set realistic goals and achieve them in a smooth manner well coordinated amongst all assets, the US is much better than anyone else. Honestly, that's as it should be considering how much is spent on it.
It's just startling to see one of the US few supposed "near peer" militaries putting on this kind of showing. Don't get it twisted, Russia can still "win" but it ain't gonna be pretty and when/if the actual insurgency starts its gonna be horrific.

The biggest factor in Ukraine's favour is their morale. The people will not give in. They are fighting for their freedom.

We need to be careful with this aswell. Unless russia actually tries to push into all of the major cities, the armed militia wont really do much. It cant break sieges onto cities, and I dont think the majority of people taking up arms are willing to starve to death in their homes(the prospect of it atleast).
And a lot of info about morale on either side (reported from either side about the other aswell) is most likely not 100% true to what is actually the case on the ground.

You didn't talk about the logistics of the russian army in Ukraine, which most military analysts seen to agree it's at least in an undesirable state with some saying it's in shambles as the ukrainians seen to have at least their soldiers basic needs such as food and ammunition sorted out, as well as being able to obtain the former from civilians which most seen to be ok with. Also you compared a lot of the ukrainian hardware with the most modern Russia has which is very different from the situation on the field as Russia is fallowing the old soviet strategy of throwing mostly their outdated hardware and conscript force to the meat grinder first, yes there have been some instances of T-72B3, T-90A, and T-80BVM being spoted in the front or even being captured but the majority of their armored forces in Ukraine at the moment are T-72B and light armored vehicle like the BMD-4 which although a capable modern vehicle, they were made to support the VDV in air assault operation behind enemy lines not as breakthrough vehicle as Russia has been using them, anyone with a basic understanding of armored vehicles can tell you that a BMD-4 has no chance against a proper MBT in a direct confrontation, even against the outdated bulk of the Ukrainian armor the T-64BV and that is not taking the AT missile launcher Ukraine has at its disposal that would not kill a light armored vehicle but completely obliterate it, opening it like a can of sardine.
Russia stinks at logistics, but there is no way progress is this slow, given Ukraine has a reasonable Soviet road system and there has been no opposition to Russian forces.
Likely, the slow advance is due to Russian forces meticuously avoiding civilian casualties, so establishment Western media companies and billionaire funded NGOs have no PR material to edit a narrative with.

@@manumanitas161 tf you talking about, im here correcting your lack of historical knowledge, "south american"
What I find interesting, is that a week in and the Ukrainian air force is still a going concern. I would have expected Russia to have eliminated it by now.
I think Russia's progress towards destroying Ukraine's air force might be due to a lack of intel(Russia has neglected drone technology development in favor of better missiles) and a more robust Ukrainian anti-air defense capability then expected.
I've heard some reports that Russia might have lost more fighters then they expected in the initial wave of strikes due to SAM capabilities which might account for why there have been far less sightings of Russian aircraft and more rocket launches as the war has progressed.
Also Ukrainian drones from Turkey don't require a runway to launch so they'll be an ongoing concern even if all runways are neutralized or secured until they are all destroyed.
That might be part of the reason the column advancing on Kyiv has stalled as they seem to have it covered by air but cannot fully control Kyiv's airspace. Meaning if they advance too far they might come under fire from TB-2 drones which can take off on the city streets of Kyiv, they would be difficult(near impossible) to shoot down out of a SAM umbrella and could do considerable damage to a convoy that large and packed together.
I could be totally wrong on that, but I do believe Russia's inability to completely annihilate Ukraine's air and air-defense systems nearing a week into the invasion is a serious failing on the part of Russia's command staff and will lead to mounting casualties until addressed.

I thought Vladimir Putin understood the laws of modern warfare. A mostly conscript army without the best equipment is not going to have luck attacking without air support. Ukraines air defense is pretty significant.
Air warfare goes against centuries of Russian military strategy. The Russian military is and has been for ages an artillery-first military. Almost all of their entire thinking about warfare revolves around use of artillery.
Yes. I mean the Russians will certainly win or at least encircle the cities and Ukrainian brigades. The big question is how long they can sustain the offensives. Also the total numbers for the Russians aren't as relevant since they have massive borders that need guarding and they wouldn't be bringing their total numbers to bare even in the best of circumstances. I think even though they are making some steady advances and I'm the Ukrainians are having a rough time of it, the Russian losses are going to pile up for sure.

the usa learned a valuable lesson in vietnam: it dosent matter how many tanks, planes or ships you have. If the enemy wants to keep fighting with sticks and stones, they will. This was applied to soviet invasion of afghanastan in the 80's. us did not supply troops, they did however, supply stingers and training to mujahadeen. this in turn made sovet occupation extremly expensive (high flying planes still need to land eventually to offload troops/cargo. this is when stingers are most effective). as long as ukraine is fighting, as long as they are getting stingers and javelins, russia cannot hold the terrotory. they can occupy, they can target civilians, but unless the population yelds to their rule, it will become too expensive. 30% unit casualty rate is considered to be an 'ineffective' unit. They don't need to down every plane or destroy every tank, just make it expensive to occupy.
It really makes me wonder what history would be like if we tried to invade Japan instead of having their surrender.

Suddenly thousands of Viet Cong spring up behind American lines in a huge PR disaster for the government.

Unfortunately this time it's not a hypothetical war. People are actually suffering and dying, and destruction is all around. Real peace... I wish it was here.
So, can we have an update?
No longer hypothetical warfare :(
🇺🇦 Those analysis is good for war games, but in fact for today (March 14) russians army even with higher equipment didn't able get some more sustainable success. In fact invaded troops was basically not experienced low motivated 18-21 years boys, not understanding what are they doing. From other hand not counting resistance of civilians on occupated territory with acts of diversions. Thanks to Wester support we increased our army shortly and sanctions destroy russians from inside. In a matter or 2 weeks we expect collapse of invasion. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦!
I expect you is right my friend, all the situation in ukraine is very sad. Still hurts a lot don't listen "Binkov may talk about hypotetical wars" but still only real peace can bring us all together.
It will take longer than 2 weeks.
Advise you prep for it lasting months.
@@linusa2996 it's only my guess, could be your right, but we hoping to for better future.
Didn't know until recently that Ukraine fields the t64 with improvements.
The t64 is legendary and Ukraine ended up with the factory that made them.
When I was in the army the t64 was rated slightly better than the t72 despite it being designed in the late 50s and built in 60s.
Actually, no, T-64 is somewhat worse than T-72. During the Afghan war, Soviets decided to take T-55s and T-62s to Afghan instead of T-64, since its’ engine is really bad.
@@legil2954 This has nothing to do with anything the T-64BM is today. Looks like Bulat seem perfoming as a formidable MBT agains T-80BV ant T-80BVM eith skilled Russian crews.
@@HanSolo__ to be precise, Ukraine has less Bulat tanks than Thailand does. So I highly doubt that T-80 will actually face a Bulat.
@@HanSolo__ and yeah, there are dozens of destroyed T-64BMs on the internet that were hit by Russian T-90s or T-80s. The morale is-no matter how hard you modernise an AK, it will never become an HK416.
For people slandering him, remember that nobody thought Russia would be this incompetent. Everyone thought that they were still a world superpower and military powerhouse. Nobody expected this in their wildest dreams and we can't figure out how this happened.
True. I am embarrassed for Russia.
@@BManStan1991 russia is basically a piece of sh*t
superpower? no not really, russia is a regional power and has been since the end of the cold war.
Why do you think they appear incompetent?
@Zybernetics they seem to have little ability to deal with typical modern weaponry like javlins and drones. How is it that an airport with a dozen Russian helicopters was just struck and destroyed yesterday? 21 days into the "special operation". How does Russia not yet have air superiority? Or rather. If they do, how are they failing at it so bad that a drone can sneak by them and destroy 10 of their attack helicopters?
Also, the cages over their T-72S, what's up with that? Seems completely ineffective against javelins. I suppose I just thought they would have been more prepared to deal with common threats on a modern battlefield. But what do I know, I'm just an idiot on the internet. I suppose I just had higher standards for Russias military than this.
SLAVA UKRAINI! 🇨🇦🍻🇺🇦
Warfare has moved on, these are the days of the drone, Javelin, NLAW and stinger, satellite and battlefield imagery and sensors.
Big armies are now just one thing, big targets.
A simple civilian with a couple of hours training and armed with a shoulder launch can take out multi million $ systems and when you have an unlimited supply of these and they are motivated any standing army will face enormous difficulties.
I expect Russia to eventually gain its military objectives (at huge cost) but what after that ?
Are they going to occupy The Ukraine?
Will the Ukrainian people have such a massive about turn that they accept this occupying force ?
Absolutely. Maybe they will be able to occupy the country. But weapons will find their way into Ukraine, an they will find people willing to use them. This might be Putins Vietnam.
maybe they just want to cripple the military and remind them that they will not join nato.
@@easterworshipper5579 Maybe that, but one thing is for sure what they have got themselves in to is a zero sum game that has completely backfired, uniting the west, destroying their economy and leading to years in the political wilderness.
If only Russia could just level the whole place with artillery, thermobaric and other bombs and missiles, but that would go against the whole liberation narrative bs that they chose...
@@Sombody123 yeah it only they would use casate bombs banned by geneva convention beacuse they turn whole place into mine field
