Over the past few weeks Russia has shown a new ability to conduct dynamic targeting, striking multiple high value and high payoff targets well behind the line of contact. I believe we’re seeing a change in the Russian targeting process that coincides with a reduction in Ukrainian short range air defense munitions.

This same guy told us Russia ran out of weapons in 2022 😂😂😂😂. All these TH-camrs need to start telling the truth
Do you have a link, would be interesting to see
Every week sky news tell the same 😂😂@@Themata
this guy is probably the most unbiased person that reports about the war, and im saying this as a ukraine supporter. I recognize many biased pro ukraine reporters, this guy is not one of them
Its almost as if things can change in 2 years.

Shovels using washing machine chips has became deadlier
it is like a shovel just flying from the US senate to the Congress
its myth made by Ursula, but fun fact - question about using chips was made in EU by auto manufactors ;)
our gov use non military chips, but its fresh made. For military dont need extra chips cause small tech process more unstable and coulde be damage by radiaton.
I dont understand what you guyz are talking about can I get some context.
@Derain_ In one of her speeches, Ursula von der Leyen said that Russian manufacturers of precision weapons are forced to take electronic chips out of washing machines because there is no own production of chips in Russia, and import is impossible due to sanctions.
@@Derain_ There was a big rumor that russian soldiers steal washing machines from Ukrain
guy said "for the first time" clearly he has no idea that Russia has been doing this since the start
Clout chaser. The truth is on Russias side and more people are following Russia and the creators follow the followers xD
Also he said that Ukraine has somehow sortage of equpment and only now Russia is able to struck the targets, wondering from where sortage is comming hmm?
BTW: if you look deep enough on the internet you can find recent interview with just retired Polish (Nato) general who said that Ukraine lost more than milion soldiers
Edit: forgot to wrote the name of polish general: Raymund Andrzejczak
Proof? The M124 had no losses until the video they released
@@MK-bv6wn it’s literally impossible to have lost a million soldiers and yet still be an effective field army
@@looinrimsRouge ukrainian extremists have been attacking since 2014, hell even my poor old grandfather got run out of Odessa by a bunch of neo fascist gopniks, that claimed he was part of "German occupation" of ukraine from when Catherine the great moved German farmers into Ukraine. The numbers are likely closer too 500k-700k
Hmm, the chips in those washing machines are top tier 🙌
Probably from LG washer
so we went the full circle, from ´´stealing´´ fridge/washin machines at the start to now usin their chips cuz they cant be jammed. 4d chess
@@daquemasquieren I studied microarchitecture in University, it always cracked me up when they started with their chip nonsense. Completely ignoring the fact that they can produce military grade chips easily domestically (at 18-20nm mind you but in a military application with no space or cooling or cost constraints it doesn't matter unlike in a phone). Also China is right next door and have plenty of FABs to produce stuff not far behind TSMC.
@@RMRealEstateProductions what you mention is Zêlênograd and the Mikron company. Contemporary both are a joke.
@@worldoftancraft Anyone that has studied or worked in this field understands that bleeding edge compute power has nowhere near the same level of importance for military applications. There is no need for a lower nm process for simple things like drones. DJI has arguably the best consumer grade drones and most of their cpus are made in China by AllWinner (h6) which is an arm cortex architecture and does everything the drone needs (positioning, render, capture) with varying ranges from 55nm to 28nm.
There's new FABs popping up in China almost daily, taking away some mid tier lithography away from TSMC.
My point is that people that talking about washing machine "chips" don't know the difference between a cpu, a vpu, a microcontroller vs a microprocessor or have any idea that a memory chip in a microwave can't be used for gpu duties in a drone etc. But to the laymen it works for propaganda reason. Even if Forbes wrote extensively that it wasn't based on anything factual.
But MSM said russia ran out of men and missiles 😧

UZA is the global cancer.
I still don't understand why people say The Russian Armed Forces are a joke
Because when they think of Russia and the russian military they think of 90's russia and russian military. They don't get that time moves on and that things change. 2024 Russia is not the same as 1994 Russia.
Because Redditors that consume main stream media think this war is a marvel movie and only the good guy win every time and never die.
@killman369547 then what they think of ukraine. they see Russia's military as the 2nd-strongest in Ukraine. however Sometimes what ukrain get in financial aid, economic and humanitarian aid, infrastructure aid and refugee aid. costs entirely too much to contributing countries. or unable to send more then necessary to win the war. EU promise 1 million artillery shells per years to ukraine but can only send 300k per year and import non-EU 800k from unknown countries with different standards then EU standards of weapons grade.
@@kaboomwinn4026the 2nd strongest military is advancing and beating the 1st strongest? You got to be kidding right?
Because a country with a fraction of the technology Russia has is giving them a black eye. 8 patriot systems 40 himars etc has wrecked havoc on the whole Russian military. Russia has a strong military and they are adapting to Ukraines strategies. However for such an lopsided military balance between the two Ukraine is making them look bad. Even if Ukraine loses. The damage is done Russia looks weak.
Russia was hitting such targets since the beginning. Have you not seen Ukrainian airfields with destroyed mig 29 ? Many videos of destroyed s 300.
you can't compare invasion target to more dynamic warfare when the war is on.
@@Flamechrdoesnt change the fact they have been targetting high value targets all year round. Are we conveniently forgetting that they have been bombing arms caches and troop barracks?
Sure, but what's the time frame? Ukraine didn't have defensive missiles at the beginning of the war. The video says they're hitting targets because Ukraine is running out of missiles, so the same problem. If the West stops the supply of missiles, Ukraine is in trouble.
Once again, we in the US underestimate their capabilities. Hate to break it to folks, if we were to have to fight Russia right now, we would lose.
@@Mordalo They would lose too. It will go nuclear within minutes.
When Avdeevka fell, everything else opened up. It was a powerful-fortified city helped by NATO in eight years in the making. At its core, it was the heart of almost everything.

@@marinabereza1523yup... Avdeevka was the heart of operations since the beginning of the cleansing war against the Donbass Russians...they shelled Donezk until the very first week of the serious assault by the RF started
Turns out they got some highly advanced technology for Shovels
Its because they have all these smart shovels and washing machine micro chips. Shovels keep flying out the sky and chopping Himars in half its wild.
Their shovels are becoming more sophisticated
Maybe because, in the end, they are not just orcs fighting with shovels and washing machines like they say here in the west?
West thinks that Russians identify as shovel weilding orcs. But the reality is that just like the western wokies, ukros are the misgendered ones as well.
Don't ever underestimate men with shovels
Latest Lancet drones now have on-board AI-assisted auto-targeting, no operator needed to guide them. This makes them more deadly and jam-proof.
And they fly in swarms when needed to take out a high value target that is well protected. What a time to be alive
2 months ago Russia space launched a Geosynchronous satellite into high orbit that rotates around eastern Europe. If they have that dialed in with modern optics it would explain how many of these targets are accurately located in real time.
Did you take clouds into consideration?
@@user-qn3xu5ee3tbro? You really bringing the small brain energy aren't ya...

@@user-xu6vx7bh4b Don't blame the people. Western MSMs have made us believe that Russia is nothing but a paper tiger
@@user-xu6vx7bh4bdoesn’t matter if they have more satellites, what matters is how much data they can transmit and receive on older satellites especially those that aren’t low earth or medium earth orbit, it is very slow and unreliable for targeting of mobile targets. What makes starlink so great is its low earth orbit constellation shortens the length transmissions need to get sent up into space, relayed amplified and sent back down to a base station. Commercial satcom use in the military is increasing due to its high data speeds and reliable satellite constellations

Very interesting. What seems to have happened in the course of this war is not that Russia has been bled dry. Russia has been taken to the training ground, where it has beefed up, trimmed off the excess fat, and now stands as a lean, mean killing machine. Russias military is bigger, stronger and more capable. And it has learned how to deal with a lot of Western weapons systems. And this discussion about the change in targeting practices which sounds pretty legit to my civilian ears, is another aspect of this learning and training process. I think we can all agree that it was an extremely stupid mistake to poke the bear.
After two years of this war, it can be said with confidence that Russian military is the best in the World in waging real, large scale war.
In recent leak to the French magazine Marianne, French military intelligence officials report(they did 3 reports) that Russian military is the new standard for how an army should operate. They also say that Ukraine’s victory is unimaginable and that French military is not even remotely ready or equipped to challenge the Russians. As one retired French officer said, French military is good for a safari. That’s it.
@@MrGolov-te5eb Yes, it is Macron who wants to plunge France into the crucible of war. This bastard doesn't have much time left to be president, because... it has very low ratings. The French people hate him. And now, before leaving the presidency, he wants to take revenge on the French by sending them to certain death. This is terrible. The French people have always been a friendly people for the Russians. And that bastard Macron wants to make them enemies.
Oh look ma! Somebody with common sense!
I've been looking into it and the Russians have vastly improved their ISR systems along with the new drone in play

@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns apparently the SU-57 will be able to link with 4 of those S-70, if that's the case that's literally a game changer
@@themanwiththegoldengun1998 The one problem they have though is there's barely 30 of them around. Once they start mass producing the SU 57 then we'll see their true capabilities.
@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns some agree that a 2 years period is needed for ramping up production. If they did it from the start of this war, then this year should see a significant number of new SU57 joining the RAF.
@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9nsits way more than that, it was built to operate alongside the su57 and that's the most interesting part in opinion
India which is a Russia Economic Ally (Military is Neutral) is where i like getting my information from Indian media on the Russia / Ukraine conflict as their is no western bias, no propaganda in they reporting content.
They basically show the true numbers, Russia is fighting this war at a distance with Long Range missiles, and medium range while Ukraine is only being given weapons systems meant for close range. Western media like to show Ukraine's successful assaults', but the majority of this wars casualties are via long range projectiles. But they mentioned an important piece to the puzzle. Russia is actually fine tuning AI technology through satellites that can scan an Identify targets, but in order to do so it needs to have a successful hit, once it identifies what a successful object is it makes it easier to scan and track.
I am a US Armey Veteran, but I am not an 11B. My background is Tactical Psyop (37F). So I view the world as "Great, now i need to fact check this information now cause I do not believe you".
So the best way for me to fact check (At least find a baseline) is to find a Publisher that does not have an incentive. Such as the West (Europe & US) has an Incentive to lie, persuade, and influence a narrative outcome, as does Russian Media. India is as close to Unbias as I can find when it comes to this war. Also, they are basically Geographically monitoring this closely.
This Conflict is actually helping Russias influence. African Union, Middle East, India, China (Global South) all support Russia. Basically 70% of the Global population by country do not Support the US and Europe. Hence why BRICS+ surpassed the US Led G7 this year.
I don't think India is unbiased or neutral in the Ukrainian conflict. I believe India favors Russia quite a bit. BTW, latin American nations also favor Russia quite a bit. Most nations have come to realize that the multipolar world is the way forward.
I will start with the most important change, the Ukrainian forces have moved their AA systems closer to the front in order to disrupt the massive air campaign that Russian air force recently introduced and was key to taking Adiivka, Employing FAB 500 and FAB 1500 can obliterate fortified positions unlike artillery. Basically bunker busters, but they are deployed in multiple ways. Even with thermobaric warheads. Glide bombes using GLONASS for pinpoint accuracy. Similar to JDAM guidance kit. Hence, why several Patriot systems and NASAMS have been taken out with video evidence to prove it...
You're right about the targeting command structure, I have listened to Russian colonels discussing how it used to take them hours from initial spotting to the designated strike system to fire.
Now it's done in minutes. That is a recent change, what is also necessary to understand is the drastically upgraded military surveillance drones in use that are almost invisible to both radar and optical systems, blending in with the sky due to their altitude, small size, all composite exterior and upgraded electronics. Russia has also launched a number of military satellites during the past 2 years. All designated Kosmos nnnn, as in Kosmos 2480 which is a known spy satellite. The new missions launched are classified, but I will give you a hint of a unique asset rivaling the best surveillance assets the US have in LEO, Kosmos 2572.
I love TH-cam comments because they always have someone providing exclusive details about current events that you can't find anywhere else.
Do you have any other interesting information you can share about this conflict and its future?
the fibre optic cable is quite a smart solution to the jamming.
It isn't remotely a nee idea. The reason it isn't done is cost. The Pentagon doesn't use any copper wiring in its whole buidling for purposes of data security.
That is quite old fashioned really, like guiding the Goliath anti tank vehicle by Germany in WWII.
@@Wolfen443Yeah, cause Nazi Germany had optronics. 🙄
The Spike missile uses this technology; what’s interesting is seeing it added to such a bare bones drone…
Single wire comms is being looked at.. as long as there’s enough snr .. it’s worth it..
I don't see why people keep underestimating Russia. They evolve and learn just like anyone else and they pretty much have unlimited military funds and man power. Ukraines the test battlefield before the real big players come out against russia and Russia is preparing for it.
И не только Россия. Зря вы это затеяли, чувак
Thats all they have, they jus throw people into the grinder for like 100m worth of Land
@@ReincarnatedTiger you mean Ukronazi throwing the meat grinder
They both throw away men and now on ukraines side women's lives. I'm not for or against either side, but Russia def has battlefield advantage right now. 3 helos, 2 patriots, and a nasam isn't just luck. Something has changed
The reason people underestimate the russia, because we expect more from russia.
They should as we imagine before the war to steamroll Ukraine at 3 month max.
At start of war Russia had Orlan 10 artillery drones designed for long loitering time and for helping increasing precision of artillery fire. Further improvement during war was adding lasers for high precision laser-guided shells and even carrying rocket projectile. Such drone flies relatively high, out of range of machine guns and are probably difficult to distinguish from more plentiful loitering ammunition, which are too costly to be targeted by medium range AA rockets. In same time, Russia got larger number of MLRSes with improved range and precision, comparable to Himars, and gliding bombs became ubiquitous, with range 50km+ from release point. Finally, Russia has plentiful of domestically produced AA systems while Ukrainian supplies are limitted.
Could it be that the Russians keep hitting high value targets, because the slow, backwards invaders have improved their fighting with shovels strategy of gradual reduction in number or strength and machines?
Oh, and the invaders also seem to still have a huge supply of advanced washing machines chips.
They made better drones now and they improved significantly time it takes from target being spotted to chain of command approving missile strike.
@@pq2015 yes, that too. More money being fed into drone production => better parts => better drones.
Yes but the key part, is integration... and that is happening.
7 min from spotting to launch....
I'm pretty sure Russia has been hitting high value targets for a long time, the problem is that Ukraine doesn't admit to their own losses. They did not even speak about the loss of 2 Himars systems, only some Ukrainian sources did but yeah that speaks volume
The fact that there has been a stalemate for 2 years tells me Russia has been hitting more than schools and apartment buildings, contrary to what the media says.
Riiiiiiiight, that's why there's always been a lack of proof from Russia. Because Ukraine blah blah blah.
@@user-lo4gm6vr2beach time they do it gets destroyed, so it's not like they don't want to, it's just that it's best used for offensives, that stuff don't last long in the front.

I guess I am supposed to laugh now or should I point out that the joke hasnt really been funny for over 12 months now? Also wars are dynamic so try to keep up, we are already over 2 years into the war and Russia is getting supplies from outside sources as well as Ukraine now.
Ukraine has been fighting with Western stuff for a long time now, try to keep up@@ashamahee
I assume that was EXACTLY his point.
My point would be to "beware the propaganda."
Shovel means nuke, because it can move more dirt than anything on Earth?
So like a handful of old NATO tech stuff was destroyed, stuff that was literally donated from other countries with even larger numbers of those ones + better ones. Yay russia managed to hit something after 2 years!
Two years in, It looks like they are putting some resources into finding military targets. We were led to believe Iskander was inaccurate and sometimes hit civilian apartment blocks by accident, but here, we see one landing a meter from its target.
wonder who help USA when China attack...No1 help in next Irak or Afganistan to USA ..HF
This just proves that the orcs aim for hospitals, playgrounds and schools on purpose then. Not surprising really
they were hitting civilian targets as a terror campaign, you muppet
They are all crying in Odessa today but Russia double tapped high value targets today.
It's more ukraine, at that stage, intergated military assets heavily into civilian infrastructure. Its a shame but that is just the reality of war for a nation fighting for survival
Less civilians dying from missiles strikes as Ukraine has run out of expired s300 missiles
what? plz speak english
@@ReincarnatedTigerHe says civilians are falling victim to the Ukrainian military's placement of air defense systems inside densely populated areas, where often during interception of Russian air strikes air defense missiles hit residential buildings.
When a Russian drone flies over an air defense system, and the air defense does not see it, then the first question is about the quality of the air defense system. You are specifically designed to detect targets overhead and you can't see it
Excellent observation, these are not off the shelf DJI drones. You can learn a lot if you watch the Russian military expo presentations. That's just the capabilities they export, dig some deeper, and you can get a good idea of what is currently deployed. 😎
Ukraine usually don't even try to shoot down Russian reconnaissance drones. I watched the interview with some Ukrainian soldier and he said that it is almost meaningless to spend expensive AA missiles for such drones because Russia have thousands of them and if Ukraine shoot down one drone, Russia immediately launches another one. Ukraine just don't have so many AA missiles and cant waste them for small drones. Also all Ukrainian radars are turned off most of the time, they turn them on only for short periods when they are preparing to repel Russian strike. If radar is active too long, there is a high chances to get hit by Russian anti radar missile.
@@morfeicheg Thanks, that explains it
The worst thing for the West is that 1 air defense missile costs 1 million dollars, and 1 drone costs 1000 dollars. :)
You have drones that carry other drones. Once the drone detects jamming to goes back, and launches the fiber optic drone with a 10km spool weighing about 20 pounds. Then that drone does the rest.
Someone with binoculars on a hot air balloon.
Yes!
Remind me of scifiction book
As WillyOAM stated, I think it is because of the russian drone "S70" which is a drome that was meant to compliment the Su57 stealth fighter.
There was reports of them testing that around the border in kharkiv area about 12 - 18 months back, it's a cool looking bit of kit. You can also see how their drone footage has improved dramatically so i assume the targeting also improved.
If those drones have cameras that bad then I’m not too concerned 😅
maybe it has a lot of zoom and is working under Ukrainian jamming @@beng7844
You are stupid, this are observation drones the stealth drones are target drones
Yeah I know WillyOAM’s source was dismissive that they would use the S-70 for such low value strikes, but I think what was actually being suggested was that the s-70 was just being used for targeting, which I think would put it at very little risk, as opposed to it actually dropping munitions.
If russia has been winning using shovels ... nobody wants to see what their actual weapons do 😂😂
They are called satellites, imagine that, Russia has them too.
Russia has always been hitting high value targets. I’ve seen it since the special military operation started.

@@ReincarnatedTiger Yes they have but reporting it from the other side, is criminal - did you know that? check it up - people were jailed, god knows if they are alive or whatever, just for reporting on strikes by Russia - this was going on from 2022 and 2023, not heard anything since.

We've taught the Russians ISR, that's what's changed.

It will be.
What has changed is the truth finally coming out in the open. In the beginning of the conflict, Russian forces left Kiev as a condition of the Istanbul draft agreement as a sigh of good faith and the supposed gains made by ukraine in late summer (I think that was the timing, but I might be off there) was not necessarily that ukraine's armed forces were far superior, but you have to remember that Kiev started this conflict with 650-750,000 soldiers, whereas because Russia went in to assist the Donbas regions, under Russian law, could only do this under what is called a SMO (Special Military Operation) and that restricts Russia to only having 250,000 soldiers in the conflict. This, of course, does not include the Luhansk and Donetsk Republics' forces because these are not Russian forces. So the Donbas/Russian forces were severely outnumbered from the start and when that region got tough for Russia to hold such a large piece of land, the decision was made to pull out of the areas, and when they did, Ukrainian forces moved in claiming they won back the territory which is not reality. The ukraine conflict from the Russians side is since the beginning until up until maybe just before Avdiivka, a war of attrition. In these 2 years, the one thing the Russians wanted to do was not to loose any territory that they had behind the massive 3-layer defense lines they had built up. But the most important job of the Russian military was to destroy as much of the enemy soldiers and their equipment as possible. The reason Bakhmut took so long was because they kept drawing in the Ukrainian soldiers just for them and their artillery pieces to die there. Day after day, week after week, with Ukrainian deaths and major injuries at 7-10:1 to Russian soldiers, all the while Kiev is lying to their own people as they leave dead bodies just laying on the ground. Pretty damn gruesome, it's one reason I hate war, but I also hate governments that boldly lie to their people about the reality on the ground. I'm an American and at 61, I have lived long enough to see my country lie about many things, most which are excuses for them to meddle in other country's business were their proxies kill thousands of innocents. My country lied to enter the Vietnam War and 58,000 of our people died there and we ran home after getting our arses kicked by the communist North Vietnamese. Independent news reporter and bloggers were reporting these things I am saying from the start of the conflict, but the U.S. and Western media outlets censored news so only some individuals reporting on the internet got the truth out. And journalists who reported the truth are still on kill list put out by Kiev's intelligence service, a few, including Lira Gonzalo were assassinated by Kiev. I hope the truth continue to get out in even more mainstream media because this war needs to end, yet zelensky passed a law that restricts him from negotiating an end. Very sad.
I agree. I remember all of that, although the new law is news to me. It's dangerous to even talk about it because of all of the ideologues. After the 'Pink Floyd Peaceful Protests', my area got swarmed by these same ideologues. Also, my old job had me serving most of them because they would cross state lines for the tax benefits here.
Think Ukrainians got complacent in the Russians outdated artillery fire and control methods. Which meant that Ukrainians had a lot of these high value pieces of equipment closer to the contact line.
Never underestimate an enemy, at some point they will adapt and learn from their mistakes.
How is Russia artillery fire and control outdated? Something you people said about Russian tanks. Now we see Soviet era T72 killing modern soviet era Abrams from miles away.
@@djam2060Not exactly Soviet era.
Lol. Keep lying to yourself.
@@djam2060 any tank can be taken out if it gets hit in the right place. Russia has lost hundreds of tanks in the last few months while 3 out of 31 Abrams have been destroyed. If I were in a tank crew and had to pick which tank I'd be operating in, I know my choice
The “outdated” meme couldn’t be more wrong. They just have a different philosophy than we do. Instead of lower quantities of high quality munitions they have mass quantities of lower quality munitions. They literally spammed t34s like candy during ww2. They will do the same in this war. They’re only going to get better as they keep working out the kinks in their military and combined arms operations.
Excellent episode utilizing your first hand experience.
Thanks!

@@PrestonStewartgood work
@@PrestonStewart The first video of yours I watched, but I appreciated very much the professional insights as well as the neutral tone -- no moralizing, just a focus on the military and technical issues.
My own guess is than new and/or more satellites, probably coupled to AI image recognition systems are responsible for the rapid identification of at least some of the high-value Ukrainian targets that have recently been eliminated.
There are so many jokes about shovels and washing machines here that I'm starting to think that the Russian's Airstrikes are when soldiers from washing machines launch themselves into the sky with shovels and strike in the style of Team Fortress 2 Trolldier tactic.
This guy is so humble and unbiased. Never thought US have this kind of people. Kudos to this guy for this video.
Thanks Preston for your obvious expertise. You said all this may not look like that much on paper. Well, I’m not one who sees anything easy about any of what you shared with us.
You did your homework at The Point.
I think it's not about locating these assets the kill chain time is dramatically decreased remember these system keep moving all the time you only have a brief window to strike that was the main problem for Russian apparently now they find a way to speed up the kill chain dramatically and i agree with you about Russian drones having a free ride deep behind the combat line for many reasons mainly getting the upper hand in the electronic warfare and gaps in Ukrainian air defense coverage
Well done work, well studied and only facts, no biased report 🎉

Ukrainians lost 9 Himars crew members when those launches got hit😢
🇷🇺🇷🇺💪💪
@@koukimonzta ..Bro.....I wouldn't be " Flexing" muscles about 9 crew members. It took EIGHTEEN MONTHS to strike the FIRST Himars launcher. Those himars launchers that got taken out caused BILLIONS upon BILLION of dollars of Russian equipment never mind THOUSANDS of Russian Orcs.
A couple Himars Launches and nine crew members is worth the trade of billions of dollars in lost military equipment and literally THOUSANDS of Russian soldiers🤣🤣

those 2 helicopters were destroyed using the LMUR helicopter launched missile also know as izdelia305
nope, its x 35.
@@galavas3134 X 35? X-35 is the codename of the F-35 project. 😄 You think they were taken out by friendly forces? 🧐
Or perhaps you are confusing X 35 with the very long range hypersonic air-to-air missile system called Vympel R-37? 😏 (300-400km range)
Used to set the record of the longest confirmed air-to-air kill in history.
Thanks for the info! Makes perfect sense, knowing the location where the helicopters were hit.
Ya think it could be target acquisition/observation balloons? Seems like a good platform for long-term observations.
U can learn so much from books. Russia entered this war with ww2 tactics and it miserably failed, but now they have learned and improvised soo much that they barely take any casualties
🤣 🤣 🤣 Good joke comrade
Thanks for the great video! I appreciate your knowledge and how you blend it into the information.
Keep up the great work!
Idk but it seems like more than just a change in targeting strategy...goes to show can't get complacent even if think well behind active cinflict lines
the only thing that changed is the official narrative surrounding the war
the US public is being allowed to know more of the reality now, to undermine the expectations that were spoon fed to them for the last year about how Russia was "losing"
UKR has now been eliminated as a nation, males between 14-65 are basically eliminated and now women are being sent to the front lines. the land and its resources have been acquired by western banks.
now that the population is eliminated and the terrirory is conslidated, they will allow a "peace deal"
no more pesky ukrainians left to complain about how their country just got taken over by blackrock
Key advantage would be ability to quickly pass all critical information about potential high value targets from all drone operators up the chain of commands. This includes infantry FPV drone operators. Once alerted, artillery targeting drones working on battalion level should detect and track target, passing info battalion operation xentre and area military command. If necessary, more powerful artillery or air force asset should be allocated to handle target, which is followed in real time by artillery targeting drone. If organized well, artillery strike can follow within half an hour to any target 50km from front line. Only cost effective countermeasure could be short-range AA system, but is not easy to have them in suffocient quantity since range is about 10km, supply is limitted and they are priority target for artillery.
The M-55 Geofizika fly again. Ever wonder how Russia directs its hypersonic strikes so nicely. Its all in the new AI wingpod.
There's your answer , your welcome.
So the Russian OODA loop is currently smaller than the Ukrainian one.
Maybe. It might not even be universal, varying from unit/front to unit.
What is OODA?
@@neolord50pro77 its a system of information asessment and processing. Just google it.
@@neolord50pro77 Observe -> Orient -> Decision -> Action
@@neolord50pro77 “Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act.” A decision/information chain. A smaller one moves faster and makes decisions quicker, so is better in combat.
Flying shovels? 😂
Priggy's prisoners had shovels. They didn't last long did they
... upgraded with extra washing machine chips.
@@tracboy80um they literally won the battle.. embarrassing… lol

'it is like a shovel pointing to a high value target....don't concentrate on the shovel or you will miss all the heavenly glory!' 😂
Thanks for the update and comentary.
The front of the HIMAR in the Aftermath picture looks weirdly square instead of slanted. Are there different variants?
A cheap truck with a plywood box left exposed and un-camouflaged
Some analysts think that one of the HIMARS might have been a decoy. I've seen videos of one and it's not an inflatable, bit appears to be a real truck with plywood panels attached which make in more realistic looking
@@bernarrcoletta7419 I wonder what he would say about it, considering he worked with Himars himself
Nah it was really and it got rect 🤷. These are military vehicles you expect them to be destroyed in a war do you see Russians making excuses for the t-90 they took the L moved on. Iskander has a new engine and new warhead that's also the problem. If Ukraine has nothing that goes faster than Mach 5 they won't be able to defend against it.
@@marshalljulie3676 I don't think Ukraine needs to exceed Mach 5 to hit the Iskander. Think about it - a car can be driving at 100 mph and you can still throw a brick and hit it. You just need to get it in the right place at the right time, the Iskander trajectory is predictable.
Very interesting. Nice job Preston.
People underestimate how fast and well Russians can learn and adapt once they get their shit together. Was the same in WW2, after they fumbled 1941 so hard, they got their shit together and ended as the #1 land power in the world.
Do each of the locations have a star link?
Are Himars only used for offensive strikes? Are they capable of hitting incoming rockets/missles ect ect? Obviously, they need to be set up....but if they were could they intercept something that was incoming?
Their munitions are surface-to-surface so even if you knew something was inbound you can't program the rockets to intercept anything
@@PrestonStewart
Ahhhh....I understand....I figured as much. I originally wondered why they didn't intercept the incoming fire. I figured it was because they weren't set up. Thanks for chiming in man. I watch everyday. Keep up the good work. Much Love from Boston, Ma.
@@PrestonStewart Do you think its possible Russia could be using stealth drone Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik?
@@LutherusPXCsYEA THEY ARE KEEPING IT SECRET 🤫 RUSSIA ISNT PLAYING…REMEMBER SOME YEARS AGO THAT THEY TOOK A PICTURE OF F22 RAPTOR OVER SYRIA AND DISPLAY IT
@@LutherusPXCsAnything is possible, but nobody is sure if it works, how good its stealth is, etc. The Russians have shown a reluctance to deploy their really expensive wunderwaffe, such as the Su-57 and T-14. Remember how amazed everybody was when Kinzhal was used the 1st time, and how little impact it had?
Hello Sir. As a 1980s to late 90s 13P (and earlier 15J for the Lance Missile.) I wanted to say thanks for the Vid! I've operated in the Bn FDC down to the Platoon and the targeting process is spot on. Seeing that Tornado crew emplacing... Lethargic at best, was sad. Not the Shoot and Scoot like I'm used to seeing.
They keep hitting HVT's because they use 1nm ultra hightech taergeting Nano chips in their shovels. Combine this with a scramjet engine. And bang, you have a hypersonic shovel.

Why would Russia want to advertise this capability? Deprecating enemy moral or mere stupidity?
Showing that they can and will destroy high value target, and so Ukraine cannot hide the fact. And also why not?
Propaganda, they want to demoralize the west so they abandon Ukraine to die
The idea is to say ‘hey look at us destroying everything! Listen to our bots’
It's pretty normal for armies. They post footage all the time for the morale of their citizens and troops. It also works as propaganda.
@user-lo4gm6vr2b they don't even fully control the regions they "annexed" still. They control 18% ish of the country. A significant portion, but I imagine a nation fighting for its right to exist will fight tooth and nail until the end. The Russians have a long road ahead of them before this war is over.
Reminds me of the failed Ukrops counteroffensive. Russia posted a lot of impressive fpv footage of Nato armor being annihilated. Then complete silence when everyone got the memo that the defensive lines were impregnable.
They are telling the world that they can match any of the high tech systems the west throws at them since a majority of westerners are still under the brainwashed impression that western aid is defeating Russia.
Also keep in mind the russian mod often hoards footage. They dont release immediately like the ukranians.
For the first time you say. I remember an American base near the polish border that got hammered a few times. Just when deliveries were made. Supermarkets that were used to store ammo ring a bell. What about bridges near Moldova that someone tried to sneak a train full of diesel
I’m 100% sure Russia is using some type of stealth drones. Those helicopter were hit with pinpoint accuracy from 50+ km from the line of contact; moreover, the way Russia is flying over Patriots, S-300 and NASAMs as well as other air defense systems is something we have not seen. Back to the helicopter being hit, I’m about 90% positive the munitions that hit the helicopters was a LMUR, that missile has only been known to be fired from helicopters and its maximum range is 14.5 km. The LMUR when fired from a higher speed, higher altitude aircraft will have much greater range than 14.5km. We can put two and two together, plus the picture quality is better than anything we have seen before…
Optical stealth = remove wireless and used fiber optic cable.
The SU-57 is being used in the Ukraine conflict but Russia is not talking about it. If the west has been unable to detect and counter it, it would make no sense to tell them it was there so they start looking to counter it. It can carry the Kh-38 missile which has a 40 km range and can be laser guided by the observing drone.
Russia knows how to target things that matter, Russia ends wars with brutal force.
Russia also knows how to start wars. Not so long ago, Russians started WW2, invading Poland in September 1939. Not even mentioning Afghanistan, Georgia, Finland, Moldova, Ukraine.
@@Galmiza that is true , but unlike America Russia has a long term plan in place to ensure success, this does not always go to plan however. Ie Afghanistan. Russia could win any war however other countries arm its enemies.

russia has new missles from north korea, iran, kazakhstan uzbekistan and so on, its good to read news articles in other languages and from all over the world to form a larger idea of whats happening... from an aussie who actually understands that russia did not start this, ive been following this "conflict" since President Putin did his 2007 speech at Munich :) great video keep up the good work
The beautiful combination of upgraded strike capability, new surveilance satelite(s) and plenty of local seperatists painting the targets.
I have also been hearing of these Ukrainian Partisans assisting Russian Military Intelligence as well. Giving them info on Military targets in the West and the Center of Ukraine.
On point. Exactly. Support throughout society. Critical intel. And, beleive it or not, - OSInt.
I have another theory. Fiber optic cables can be used to eaves drop on anyone within their proximity. Its technicaly possible to determine if a train has a broken axle by analyzing data from fiber cables laid allong the train tracks. It should therefor be possible to determine what kind of vehicle is close to a cable?
All the drones you showed have the same HUD and it is a HUD I did not see before.
He described the western way of targeting. Russians have been able at times to hit a target 7 minutes after spotting.
😂 according to.....
