- Ret. US Army Major Mike Lyons breaks down the latest developments in Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russian forces, including a series of drone strikes in Moscow and Crimea, which Ukraine has claimed credit for. #CNN #News
This war will not end without negotiation.
Ignoring the NATO doctrine that air superiority is essential for combined arms, not giving them air planes, give too little too late, it is cynical to say Ukrainians can't fight combined arms.
If the US Army were in the same situation, without air superiority, they would get the same slow results
In 2024, a series of geopolitical events have shaken the world balance, resulting in an unexpected warlike conflict. The United States, China and North Korea the beginning of the war.
China will attack Taiwan, seeking to weaken its adversaries. However, American strategists, aware that the loss of that region would represent a political disaster for their nation, decided to hide the Chinese advances and spread false information, fueling a scenario of supposed military superiority.
Fake news has become a valuable tool for the United States, which has largely used disinformation to cover up the true unfolding of the ongoing war. They covered up their losses and emphasized fictitious victories to maintain an image of strength and control.
Meanwhile, discreetly, India decided to ally with China, seeking to expand its international influence and increase its military power. This bold strategic move took the world by surprise, as India, historically closer to the United States, was disguising itself to gain advantages on both sides.
Realizing that the international situation was becoming unfavorable, Russia decided to help China in this war. The clash between the United States and Russia, the result of tensions arising from the conflict in Ukraine. Russia saw in this war an opportunity to weaken its main adversary, the United States.
With a strengthened alliance and superior military dominance, the Chinese and their allies emerged victorious after years of bloody battles. What was left of the United States became a Chinese colony, with the country having to submit to Chinese dictates in all spheres. The ancient nation, symbol of freedom, has been reduced to a foreign colony driven by China's expansionist interests....
Have you seen leopards and bradleys burning? I think F-16s will burn even better, explode. Therefore, they did not give it, the plane is old, but it's still a pity
There will never be any air superiority in Ukraine against Russia.
@yanksbiglywvil Говорить не мешки ворочать
If you give them airplanes we get war world 3 , do you get that? I understand the Ukranians asking for airplanes but nato ( specially europe) will say wait a moment...
Funny how the guy doesn't even mention the fact that minefields are a huge delay for the offensive
If your going to opinions make sure it's the full scope of info🙄🙄
Correct, the Russians have literally laid a minefield the size of Florida and trying to breach that with no air support is borderline suicide.
@@rooster1012I’m curious if cluster munitions help with basic mine clearing or make the problem worse?
@@jakeroper1096 I guess it would depend on the dud rate.
@@jakeroper1096 Clusters are for the future Russian offensive that Russia is mustering up.
Clusters dont clear mines. Sad thing is the mines is the only thing holding up the Ukrainians. Russians flee first chance they get. Haven't you noticed that Russia has been steadily losing ground the past 12 months. You think these Russian conscripts want to stay in there trenches knowing they will never go on the offensive but merely fodder.
The battlefield does not lie.
The minefields are not the problem, trust me. Afew well placed mortars can clear a path through.
The fact that Russia thinks they can attack a country but can't be attacked on their homeland is baffling
Apart from NATO
@@NzTings Huh?
@@NzTings By existing, you mean. Or maybe we all missed that attack by NATO on Russia.
It's funny if NATO thinks it can attack Russia through Ukraine.
They don't think that. They just talk nonsense on purpose. No one should pay any attention to what they are saying.
Difficult to advance without air power.
The drone only hit a non-residential building 😅 No point in even discussing it
The point was just to show "we can hit places in Moscow if we want."
What they hit doesn't matter.
No one really wants Ukraine killing lots of people in Moscow because that's a nuke trigger
Moscow has drone signal jamming and control capability. The drone was most likely detonated where the Russians felt it would do the least damage.
@@CodyAdams-pf9un What do you mean "what was hit doesn't matter"? Of course it matters....that's the entire point of military strategy. What you're describing just sounds like terrorism.

Such a useless war, so much suffering. Our leaders have failed us big time.
people always blame the leaders, when it is forces beyond any one person's control that create social change like war.....our leaders are symptoms not the cause.
Putin did the invading !
It’s Putin’s expansionist policies to try to reconstitute the USSR that is the source
What leaders, you mean 🤡🐑🐕👹
Useless why? Because you take what Tucker Carlson says about Putin's motives at face value without straining a neuron? Instead of letting Tucker tell you what Putin wants, why don't you listen to what PUTIN HIMSELF says he wants, and it is not and NEVER WAS the Donbas or even all of Ukraine. He says publicly and repeatedly on Russian t.v. that his goal is to rebuild the 19th century Russian empire including all of Ukraine, the Baltics and even pieces of Poland & Sweden.

SPOILER: Tons of Ruzzian bot in the comment section trying to convince themselves Ruazzis is not losing the war 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As much as I don’t want Russia to win the war the reality is Ukraine needs a lot more air power and right now they don’t have it which is a big problem yeah they have the ground forces but without air power you can’t win a war you have to have both
If you are right, that would mean Russian bots are smarter than you.
i.e.: it's going terribly.
at least they're being honest about it though, that's refreshing.
If general Patton was there he would support air serport
Ukraine needs something much more powerful than measly drones: Cruise missiles.
Should we risk this? We are dealing with crazy Intolerant cold haters of humanity = with angry child boys, with a big Arsenal of weapons
What impact do drone strikes in Moscow, Crimea have on Russian morale?
I am not a military expert, but, obviously, neither is your major. He wants Ukraine to use combined arms, but we have not provided any air assets (F16s) to do so.
Unbelievable!! "Keep grinding, in hope that Russian morale wanes off!" - - - whaaat? Basically he's say they must keep moving forward and being killed, and hope for some miracle!! 🙆♂️ 🙆♂️ 🙆♂️ 🙆♂️
Do these people even hear themselves???!!!! 🙆♂️ 🙆♂️ 🙆♂️
There is not much else they can do.
Those attack helicopters wouldn't be so much of a threat if Ukraine had been provided training for F16s when they first asked for it. They would be well and truly operating them by now.

For months, former US and Uk military officers have consistently expressed the opinion that Western surface-to-air missiles are the best choice for the air defense of Ukraine.
@@Musck Nope
In positional warfare, when both sides have similar equipment, the attacking side will pay several times more casualties than the defending side.

But Ukraine has no where near similar strength or equipment to Russia so by your analysis they are screwed by Russia just sitting back in defence and letting Ukraine send their troops to be slaughtered.

"Military expert explains Ukraine’s drone assaults on Russian-held territory" so let's "Convince It Forward" with Slava BOHU
What goes around comes around!....💥💥
What the hell are Major Lyons's qualifications?! He's a major pretending to be qualified to talk about big strategic and political issues, which he's WRONG about. The obvious reason Ukraine took credit for the drone strike is to try to dissuade Russia from bombing civilians in underprotected cities like Odessa. "Showing progress on the counteroffensive" had nothing to do with it. The Kiev govt has not shown itself to be that foolish.
Chinese 🇨🇳 Xi Jinping was never shocked or disgusted about Russian war crimes.
- Instead, he helped them with spare parts and dual-use equipments, and cheered for Putin during the invasion.
He never complained about US war crimes as well. How dare.
On May 7, 1999, during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, five U.S. Joint Direct Attack Munition guided bombs hit the People's Republic of China embassy in Belgrade, killing three Chinese state media journalists and outraging the Chinese public.
From 2018 The planning of WWIII.
“A bipartisan commission appointed by Congress issued a lengthy report Tuesday backing the Pentagon’s plans to prepare for a “great-power” war against Russia, China, or both, making clear that the Trump administration’s belligerent policies are shared by the Democratic Party. Safe in the knowledge that its findings will never be seriously reported by the mass media, the authors of this report do not mince words about what such a war will mean. A war between the United States and China, which according to the report might break out within four years, will be “horrendous” and “devastating.” The military will “face greater losses than at any time in decades.” Such a war could lead to “rapid nuclear escalation,” and American civilians will be attacked and likely killed.
It is impossible to understand anything in American politics without recognizing one fundamental reality: the events and scandals that dominate political discourse, which make it onto the evening news and into headlines on news sites and social media feeds, have precious little to do with the considerations of those who actually make decisions. The media talking heads play their assigned roles, knowing that the most important topics can be discussed only within very circumscribed limits.
Those who actually make policy-a select group of high-ranking members of Congress, Pentagon officials, and think-tank staffers, as well as White House aides-speak an entirely different language among themselves, and in publications they know the general public will not read, and the media will not seriously report.
China should take back land that Russia stole. Russia was the first to impose unequal treaty onto China.
Food for thought.

2.

They knock them down all the time...odd that Zelensky, as a puppet of the US, is engaging in Mossad-tier strategies (like Hitler) of targeting civilians with what amounts to cheaper, slower & less effective V1's and V2's. Which is an obvious flag to the weakness and failure of Ukraine-AZOV (like Israel) to control their own territory. Have an atrocious, ineffective joke of a military? Target civilians of course!
When you keep losing, the only other thing you can do is set off some cherry bombs in the neighborhood Kinkos and claim it's a giant victory.

@@glennleatherwood4552 You are confusing between a weak leader whos scared to shoot it down with its capability whether it can. The leader in office is afraid to offend Vlad and Xi, that is why even testing hypersonic missiles were kept secret in order not to escalate.
Russians don't shoot down drones. They jam the signal and detonate the drone where they feel it will do the least amount of damage. The drones do not hit their targets.
When you use air defense missiles in a heavily populated area, the air defense missiles don't just make the oncoming whatever dissappear...it knocks it off trajectory and then both projectiles fall back to earth.
...and on apartment buildings and churches...
This is how you get collateral damage.
How is this still going on..
Further, the helicopter was equipped with the latest guided air-to-surface missile Izdeliye 305E (Product 305 E), which can strike a target at a distance of up to 14.5km with a speed of up to 230m/s. Russia fired the latest missiles from a Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter during its military operation in Ukraine in 2022.
Ukraine has few weapons (manpads only) to attack those helicopters
Everyday I say this why does Ukraine not have hundreds of helicopters by now Russia cannot get mad if Ukraine is using the same weapons against Russia that Russia uses against all Ukrainians even children and zoo's also Russia will do anything to hurt Ukraine they have suffered enough give them the tools necessary to push Russia back to Russia 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦🗽✌
How can we still be afraid of Putin? He showed once and again that he is a coward. There is no nuclear "button". There is a chain of 20 people. Are they all suicidal? While we waited for many months to provide the needed weaponry, Russians created 10 km wide mine fields. Something is very wrong in this picture.

Ukraine has the ground forces the problem is they don’t have the Air Power that’s why they need some F-16s and other U.S. fighter jets
Looks as if the Ukraine is building some new drones, not the small battery powered "hobby" ones which can lift and drop a 2-3 pound munition, but one which can carry well over 100 pounds several miles!
this war is already starting to be memory holed...

The Ka-52 helicopter is fitted with a mast-mounted radome housing a Phazotron FH-01 Millimeter Wave Radar (MMW) radar with two antennas for aerial and ground targets.
The countermeasures are supported by active IR and electronic jammers, radar warning receiver (RWR), laser detection system, IR missile approach warning sensor and UV-26 flare / chaff dispensers in wing-tip fairings
are you talking about the rockwell retro encabulator? cause i thought Universal phase detractors where not around yet?
Combined arms? With what? They don't have any air offense because we said they didn't need it.
Vow! The guy is telling the truth about Ukraine's lack of air support and how Russian air support wreaking havoc on Ukraine's formations. Within a couple of weeks at the beginning of the counterattack, the Russians destroyed about 20% of Western and US equipment that Ukraine got, and the West and US blamed that on the Ukrainians. He said that Ukraine hopes that Russian troops suffer low morale and hope is not a good strategy in a war. It's time for the US troops and air support to move in a have an equal fight with the Russians. We will truly see if US and Western weapons are any better than Russian equipment.
Pretty incredible that drones can fly all the way up and hit Moscow. It says a lot about their air defense system
Actually Russia is so big, and you can't to protect all those territory with the air defence even if you want it so much. And actually USA can't. We newer seen the same bombing in the USA)

Please be quite.
@@ascarakmalov9087 Yeah but Ukraine, which they have an active war with, can only fire from one direction. To have a drone fly from Ukraine all the way to Moscow it's a big statement. Even more when this happens in the same day that Putin said that Russia could face NATO.
I think that Russia could block them, but it denotes poor planing, strategy and how weak they are. Which was obvious from the start of the war. They had almost two years to get their shit together but these things still happen.
I love Ukraine & Chillingbourne. 💙💛
The Ka-52 helicopters have high combat survivability and powerful weaponry. The starboard side of the fuselage is fitted with a NPPU-80 movable gun mount installed with 2A42 30mm automatic gun. The six wing-mounted external hardpoints can be attached with different combinations of weapons.
The hardpoints can carry VIKHR anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM), ATAKA missiles with laser guidance system and B8V-20 rocket launchers for 80mm unguided S-8 rockets. VIKHR anti-tank missile has a range of eight to ten kilometres. The Ka-52s can also be armed with IGLA-V anti-aircraft guided missiles.
Hit the Kerch Bridge HARD then move on Crrimea
just give em the f16s
Once we give them the F-16s they will need training and that could take awhile the U.S. should’ve supplied the F-16s a lot earlier I’m afraid that now it might be to late
Hard to have combined arms without an effective Airforce! Drones are the new Air Force in Ukraine. therefore to talk about the Ukrainians not performing 'combined arms' is rubbish. they are co-ordinating Artillery, Drones, Armour and Infantry quite well. Its the Florida-sized minefields and lack of that equipment that is holding them up.
Sounds like a sports channel...
That's horrible
So when do you think we will reach the tipping point in this?
i mean maybe theres something im missing but we're running out of ammo real fast across the board man, and even when production expansion arrives it wont match what ukraine is using now and that wont be for years for so many different systems anyways at this point and vilnius was supposed to be their moment and nothing happened. im surprised its gone on this long but i think they will physically break down in a matter of months at most. i realize thats what folks have said up until now, but ukraine is just really up against the wall now in so many ways...
ATACMS for Ukraine now
If the UN wouldn't have drug it feet for months upon months, Ukraine would have trained pilots in F16's flying rings around the Russian helicopters as I type this comment. Not to mention the likely thousands of lives it would have already saved.
F16 like the best tank in the world Leopards would be destroyed. That's why US Govt doesn't want to give them to Ukraine.
Doesn’t matter how you spin it Ukraine is losing and cannot turn this around
After watching this video only one thing came to my mind: are Americans ready for war with Russia?
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦🇧🇧🇦🇺🇳🇿
Glory to Russia
Ukraine can make significant breakthrough only after some of the know it all U.S. and NATO Generals and politicians give them all the weapons including helicopters and jets to execute the counteroffensive properly. We should never forget that the U.S. and NATO disarmed Ukraine nuclear weapons, and promised them security. I don’t know how many countries would take the U.S. and NATO’ s word seriously anymore after this experience.
Additionally, Ukraine’s counteroffensive will not succeed until Ukraine defense minister is out of the picture. Take these words to the bank.
Biden knew Ukraine would be destroyed from the start. He said that. What rock are you under. Biden is almost killed the Ukrainian army off. Europe is done with them
And what do you care about what is happening in Ukraine? It's better for you to deal with your own problems and not poke your nose into the affairs of other countries
Ignorance and stupidity are bliss. Yes, I do care about what is happening in Ukraine. My tax money is constantly going towards helping Ukraine succeed and kick back aggression. For any so called Ukrainian to be subverting the success of Ukraine is traitorous. Some of us are seeing it broad daylight. You like it or not, I will sound the alarm. Stupid!

Does the Major really believes Ukraine can take Crimea without nuclear war?
There will be NO Nuclear War, and the Ukraine WILL TAKE the Crimea, it may not be this year or even next year, but it will happen! Remember there is a good chance that Vlad Putin makes the "terminal" mistake of hitting a NATO nation, most likely Poland, that will be the END of the Dictator Vlad Putin...NO, not "eliminated" by NATO Forces, but by his own!
Hope is not a plan...
It was for Obama.
How about we end the war.
Ukrainian ❤
Glory to Ukraine.
Why use drones when you’ve got storm shadows
Air superiority will be in favor of Russia until the Air Force of Ukraine establishes reliable air-2-air coverage. Couldn’t even consider sending game changers like Apaches, or A-10’s.
All these "game changers" are turning to junk! Nothing can beat Russian shovels!
Stop supplying military equipment to Ukraine and promote peace talks with Russia.
there will be no peace till putin is dead
why would ukraine attack an innocent building in moscow?
its insane !
He actually said "take Crimea." He is delusional.
It's the minefields. The Russians have planted millions of mines along the entire front. Low tech, but highly effective. That, plus artillery, open terrain, and extensive trench systems means advancing is suicidal, as it was in WW1.
God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Ukraine will fall, urraa
God also blesses Russia. God doesn't discriminate.
YYYAAAWWWNNN! Looks like the weather channel!
CNN: Have touchscreen TV..... must play with it.
How can this be? The most qualified president in history with the most experience already told us that Putin lost the war in Iraq.
Russian troll, like all Russian trolls you say the most bizarre things.
Putin hasn't fought a war in Iraq.
He did send Russian planes to terrorize civilians in Syria which is next to Iraq.
Maybe that Russian terrorism in Syria is what you are thinking of.
Maybe best you stay offline until you can somehow stop yourself from saying ludicrous things.
@@FredZiffelActually yes, the American military defeated the Taliban in 5 weeks in 2001 and drove them from power.
Though unfortunately in 20 years of trying the Afghan military and government
couldn't get their acts together to run their own country so the Americans got fed up and left.
Not sure why you wanted to mention the Americans' quick victory in Afghanistan.
Guess because it is a complete contrast to the disastrous Russian invasion into Ukraine
which has been an utter failure.
Better then the least qualified president who called him a genius and extorted Ukraine
He is getting advice from 81 million voters.
The Ukrainians have put a window cleaner out of work for three days 😂😂😂
But what if one of the oligarchs has his office in one of those towers? It shows that they're vulnerable and not intouchable.
we want the Kerch railroad bridge disrupted and stay down.
Good afternoon ,only F16 and longer missile range Can change thé matter.
Oh Monsieur, vous devez plaisanter. C'est quoi ton problème?
Fire storm shadow at Russia.
ukraine is showing the people of russia that moscow is FAR FROM UNTOUCHABLE and this is just the start if russia wants to continue the fight.

Just wondering why this war started in the first place 🤔
Ukraine has barely been supplied with any offensive weapon systems. Almost all of it is defensive in nature.

Business Insider - Ukraine is losing on average 4-5 men to advance a few hundred feet in its counteroffensive, causing morale to suffer, report says. One soldier said that while Ukraine had practiced how to capture trenches, but not holding them. Every hundred meters of land we gain means 4-5 infantrymen who have left the ranks - this is the average loss," an unnamed Ukrainian infantryman told The Kyiv Post. He said that as soon as they attack Russian positions, they use artillery to "hammer our positions from front to back."
"As long as we are standing and holding on, we can say there are no losses; there may be some light injuries. As soon as we move forward, there are hefty losses. Up to half a unit for every kilometer we capture," or roughly 0.6 miles, "and it is not a given that we will hold this kilometer later," he said.
The soldier, fighting near Russian-occupied Donetsk, told the outlet that his unit had captured and then lost several Russian trenches because Ukraine's armed forces had been training to capture them but had not practiced holding them from counterattacks, he said.
A combat medic who requested anonymity told The Kyiv Post that the Russians were given too much advance notice of Ukraine's counteroffensive, which meant they were well-prepared.
Russian forces prepared by creating dense minefields, which means Ukraine's forces are moving "at a snail's pace." "Every square inch is mined," he said.
He added that many sappers are being killed as they go ahead of the other troops.
Along with coming up against mines, Ukrainian soldiers are also facing attacks by booby traps, shell strikes, serial bombs, artillery, and more, the soldier said.
"In one month, we have only advanced one kilometer and a half. We move forward by inches, but I don't think it's worth all the human resources and materiel that we have spent," he said.

Und am Ende mussten sie geschlagen abziehen...
@@jpdobro8728 Vermutlich werden die sowjetisch/russischen Verluste ("Verluste" bedeutet immerhin immer noch Menschenleben) bereits bislang sehr, sehr hoch sein. - Das zentrale Problem ist aber, das ein Menschenleben dort leider nichts wert ist.

Obviously not or you'd never say something so silly.
