How is Ukraine getting Western weapons to the frontline?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лип 2022
- Western military equipment worth billions of dollars has been sent to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began in February, and Forces News has the breakdown on its journey.
There's a huge, ongoing logistics operation to ensure tanks, artillery, Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS), ammunition and other stores end up in the correct hands.
Retired Lieutenant Colonel Glen Grant, from Riga Business School, explains how much of it is taken by reception organisations and brought across the Polish border.

To the volunteers I have only one thing to say: Thank you for helping Ukraine! 💪💪
Do you Kim have any idea what is really going on in Ukraina?
@@iflik989 He has. Only serbs need russian semen to survive
they are killing ukaranians in a proxy war
@@freethinkeriam Who are they?
@@Biervampir92 Whose semen do you need for your survival?
🤔 maybe not give to much away how it’s actually done
To stop it you have to attack NATO, and you don't want to attack NATO
What a comment 👏 🙈🤣
They already know all of this like they said it constantly changes
If a news channel know then the russian military will know
Ignorant comment
I wish we would stop announcing what we are sending to Ukraine and how we are sending it. We need to shut up about who we are training and how many and on what. This is a huge OPSEC fail that will hurt us someday. Just let it be a surprise, everyone loves surprises
I think the soldiers fighting are losing so badly that they would surrender if they did not have the hope that some new equipment would help turn things around.
I couldn't agree more. This isn't a game. Media want to cop on!
The taxpayer wouldn’t like that though
This is a propaganda war for Ukraine. Without the ongoing media coverage support for Ukraine would dwindle and the weapons supply would dry up. They have no large battlefield victories to report and people generally don't back a loser for long
You know the MOD has realised that info? Now if experts who’s job it is decide it’s ok to realise it I am gonna trust them over you. You really think Russia won’t know? Lmao you know how many people are in the know on the stats. It probably does more good then bad to make it public ass it motivates Ukraine and lows Russian troops moral.
Let’s keep the supply of weapon systems to Ukraine going but at a faster pace and with ever more advanced weaponry 🇺🇦🇬🇧
Wouldn't it be better to send troops instead?
@@flaskanbottle9250 Ukraine does not lack manpower but weapons so no.
@@zawiszaczarny7876 whit troops comes weapons or do you think the US and UK etc would send troops to war whitout equipment?
@@flaskanbottle9250 Not really because the moment Russia takes a peak over their trench walls and sees a NATO or particularly another countries flag that's when they would go into panic mode and start lobbing nukes lol
The US general Omar Bradley said ones: " - Strategy is for amateurs, Logistics is for professionals"
And that's what won the WWII for allies !
and that is what is destroying Ukraine now: the lack of intelligence among the former allies
Nope , URSS won WWII, just to be clear
@@malcolmlwu hahahahahahahaha
well russia got to berlin first after pushing back 3 massive german armies armys north ,centre ,and south so they must be pretty good at logistics
They did it with the Americans trucks Studebaker!
Stalin was so basic and paranoid that ordered to build only tanks...he forgot the fuel, ammo and food supplies that all machine and men needs to operate those tanki!
How Ukraine receives and deploys high-value, heavy Western weaponry should be highly confidential and stealthy--not advertised like this for the Russians to scrutinise!
Thank you.
Why?? Let the Russian Federation know that such weapons exist and be afraid. And if she checks it, she will do it someday. How the English and Americans know what and where is happening. So the Russians and Ukrainians also check and learn a lot.
@@user-jr9ye5jp9f be afraid? 😂 Ukrainian are dying in a hundred daily. keep it up guys.
@@crymeaariver Troll! So afraid. More than 100 of your orcs die every day. Every day they find sunken or buried ORK tanks, BMPs and find the dead bodies of IIvans and Makhbuds. So keep Orchnia.
@@crymeaariver its the same with russsian with much more cruelty from its side lol
Why would you want to expose how weapons get to the front this should be classified information.
Remember when Russia said it will be over in 72 hours 😂
They constantly had to reduce their goals, and then pretend that that was the plan all along. May be fooling Russians, but not everyone else.
No one in Russia said or expected the Special Operation to be completed in 3 days.
Actually that was only what the western experts said. Check your sources before making silly remarks
Now Russia is going to use prisoners for soldiers LOL
@@Siempre1978 hard at work troll?
All doing excellent work xxx
How weapons arrive to conflict zones is totally classified. It's different every time. So you don't know how. 💪💙🙏👍💪🇺🇦
thies report is the most stupiest thing i ever have seen when tehy support UKR - they should not even talk about it !!!!!! Thank you to all countries that support in a way that really helps and not with priority to be in spot line of TV or inet !!!! The UKR needs more help - give them Jets, helicopters and long distance weapons !!!! Defending means now also to attack support lines of Equipment of the f***** Sovjets !!!!! Slava Ukraini !!!!
@Lee Ellak Three out of three statements, all questionable.
100% of weapon is through Poland... by trains or trucks.
Ms Banks, all Wars are decided by Logistics.
"Soldiers win battles, Logistics win wars." Perishing.

do you need to publish this too ? MAY BE IM NOT PROFESSIONAL OF MEDIA BUT I AM LOST
Great news!
There are so many reasons western free nations have the edge. Logistics is one of them. Authoritarianism will eventually lose. It always does
Actually logistics in for example China is much more advanced than in the West. 🤔
@@christianmarriott3696 Wow, so sharp intelligence. I am impressed.😝 I never said that the West is a country.
Logistics in the eastern part of China is simply more advanced than in any western nation. (I don't have to mention any country) Chinese infrastructure, speed and capacity of delivery is just insane. Like it or not. 🤷♂️
Authoritarianism jn the West will eventually lose
@@magiclamp4644 except all the high speed railway no one is using and the 64 million apartments in ghost towns and ports closed by covid restrictions, millions made to stay home as CCP does not want to admin covid mistakes
@@groovyboovy What are you talking about? Everyone is using the high-speed trains. Usually, you have to book tickets days in advance to get a seat.
And their covid policy shouldn't be much of a concern to you, since you clearly don't live in China. They have their reasons for their policy. Believe me, their government has more access to statistics and data than you to draw their conclusions and make decisions.
Hope to see them get heavier and heavier weapons
I am happy that the weapons areas arriving but this should be clandestine and not publicised.

Wasn't anything here that was exactly top secret. I think it's important people keep hearing about this stuff as apathy is just as big a threat as the odd cruise missile
@@adamatch9624 lmao. So the MOD has never made a bad decision ? 🤔 this is a shocking decision to publicise higher detail of logistics. Of course russia knows where most of the supply routes will be , everyone knows that 🙄. You will have thousands of people saying the same thing " why do they need to go into this detail "
Seems more of a "try and stop us" attitude at this point.
The only thing "publicized" Is that it's happening, not the where and when. Russia already knows as AS THE VIDEO STATED cannot do anything about it.
Heavy weapons need a lot of support, maintenance, etc. Any part of the puzzle missing, then it's useless
America will furnish what they need. Don't you worry.
@@christopherboisvert6902 I sure hope so
You reckon this was not taken into account by either side?
@@christopherboisvert6902 US is running low on heavy weapons, especially baby formula and Tampax.
Those badass Ukrainian Military!
... will kill all the orcs!
all moved using ancient Soviet era trucks Maz ,Ural Zil 131 ,Gas 66
The artillery they sending is Cold War m109 came out in the 50s
Weapons go to the front line don’t need to say on the air. Please keep it as secret as possible.
Isn't it obvious anyway?
Howitzers have a 20 to 40 mile max depending on the shells so I'd say that's the tail end of the front.
That's the right mood for the news. Greetings from Ukraine )
You will never know exactly how and when this weapons are actually delivered. If you really know something then post it like this on media, your life expectations will be much shorter. Anyone who claims they know any intels about these operations would be a target by both sides of conflict of armies.
Thank you for the explanation, it's not something UK's mainstream news bothers about.
Well..... this are things that not everybody needs to know😳😳😳😳.. Russia does not need to know... dont you think???🤔🤔😳
Cuz this is just propaganda
Why do we need to let Russia know what we are doing???🤔🤔🤔😳
We don’t need to know, Ukrainians just need to get the job done.
Slava Ukraine
Lateral thinking beats brute force every time. Slava Ukraini from Western Australia.
Those supply of weapons worth billion of dollars to Ukraine not only in.Poland . But also in Romania and 3 Baltic state Lithuanian , Estonia and Latvia . While 3 Baltic state Lithuanian , Estonia and Latvia supplied Ukraine with Soviet era Weapons
At least once this is over, with all the seized Russian assets from across the globe the reconstruction will be well funded. Not to mention the scrap, Ukraine will have no shortage of steel that's for sure
Ukrainian currency may be backed by Russian scrap metal.
What if i told u russia has more western assets siezed than the other way around
mines and booby traps infected, not good, ask the combodian about that
LOL..
the west will seize nothing the west has to worry about getting on putins good side to get energy to save there pathetic economies.
Putin struggles with logistics when invading a country right on his border. Lol.
invading army logistical issues... Russia got no air transport fleet at all
CHUCK, IF YOU HAD ANY BRAINS YOUD TAKE EM OUT AND PLAY WITH THEM! THANK GOD YOU DONT MAKE DECISIONS ... O WAIT! ARE YOU AN ADULT WITH A REAL JOB? YEAH, DIDNT THINK SO!
Well one of this wars requisite trolls has predictably left his poop mark commentary "beo wulf", how is Putin doing today?
@@thepunadude
How's the Moscova doing on its new underwater special operation?
@@thepunadude Criticize his points, not him, or are you just a troll with nothing to add to a conversation?
Excellent!
must be so hard for the latvian voulenteers to walk back to the border. may your god bless you and yours for all you do to keep this war going!
I would be surprised if any of these weapons make it to the front. No wonder there are almost weekly massive aid packages been approved. Probably to replace the destroyed stuff sent the week before.
I wish after this is all over we will get to really see the brilliance of the Ukrainian logistics planning. Coz it seems world-class.
You mean American right?
Huh? You can presently see Ukraine's logistical "brilliance." They neglected to build supply-chain infrastructure after 2014, which was also a needed "Plan B" if Russia cut-off grain transportation by sea. Ukraine's neglect of east-west logistical infrastructure has "brilliantly" bottle-necked the flow of needed supplies. Ukraine's general military "competence" is exemplified by the fact of having taken no special precautions to protect their air-defences on "Day One," causing History's worst Pearl Harbor, and crippling their army up to the present.
@@HegelsOwl and yet they are still making fools of Russia
@ Hg Maxermist Yeah, Ukraine's world-class logistical incompetence, and "brilliantly" crippling their army with History's worst Pearl Harbor, sure does make Russia look foolish, uh? You're a genius, buddy.
@@HegelsOwl Russia "worlds 2nd strongest army" has lost 30,000 men, 853 tanks, 476 armoured vehicles, 35aircraft , 12 generals and its flagship. After 5 months of launching a full scale war right on its own border is still unable to control any major Ukranian city and has just had 12 of its ammunition depots blown up. Russian armed forces = ,incompetent corrupt looting raping fools. Uranian army = heroic defenders of heir homes and families. Go home Ivan the Orc , the whole world hates you.
Continue to deliver no matter how much shows up missing.
The Sherman tank was the best tank of WW2.
Why???
Simple -- 50,000 Sherman tanks were made.
Only 492 Tigers were made. Militarily, they were insignificant, being so few.
The excellent Panther tank had 6,000 made.
Better, but the 50,000 Shermans swamped them.
The sheer numbers of the Sherman make it the most important tank of WW2.
Well done...!
💙💛Slava Ukraine💙💛💙💛Slava Ukraine💙💛
So it looks like the weapons are finally arriving in numbers. 👍
And getting destroyed also
Wrong. They're not not getting significant numbers of anything. And they're barely getting any training.

Still not enough artillery getting to the Donbas area and needs weapons to combat Russian air defence.
Posting information online regarding weapons delivery is a dangerously foolish security breach.
Ukraine as enough people to fight for them but not enough supplies for the soldiers, got to keep the soldiers highly supplied, especially in the Donbas and Kharkiv areas.
@KJER ERRT Ukrainians are being trained all over NATO countries, whereas Russian are trying to rotate soldiers but have too few to consolidate what they have and rotate soldiers as they have taken on separatists and Crimean, prisoners and Syrian's and the Chechens and still have too few to rotate. This shows a massive headache for Russia they are grabbing land with soldiers they can't rotate. All the Russians way out of Ukraine are being bombed, no one wants to go across the Kersh Bridges in case they get hit. Russians are locked in.
@KJER ERRT during ww2 the best snipers was women, you would occasionally get exceptional male snipers. So don't knock women. Russia was the first to use women in their air forces on the front, many countries have used them for supplying aircraft. When a bullet fly's at you does it matter if it is male or female it can kill you all the same.

50 HIMARS need sent to Ukraine NOW!!! Train 500 soldiers in their use NOW!!!
with the longest range! - targets should be that bridge to crimea, all weapon depots, fuel depots, railroads to bring stuff, Sewastopol navy harbour, ...
Godspeed to them and the kit.!
Respect ! 👏👏
Well done
that is a 400-700 mile drive from the border to rear lines that i wouldnt want to have to do. look at the map. there are not that many routes despite what hes saying and that is a lot of equipment going back and forth to have to fuel and hide. especially in the age of the digital camera.
Ukraine more modern weapons are on the way to you.
Victory to Ukraine.
John Quinn, Glasgow, UK.
Send in more British mercenaries, UKR are running out of stock. Two are already sentenced to death penalty.
Ukraine is doing an amazing job, no one thought they would last this long, they've done so well, Russia is now begging prisoners to sign up to fight and win their freedom if they live long enough to return home
Russia doesn't have time on its side.
and now ukraine has 9 HIMARS systems, once those start targetting Russian troop positions Putin shouuld start expecting to be loosing up to 500men a day in strikes
@@eduwino151 holdon 9 ?
4 where already doing monumental work i mean common amount of stuff them 4 managed to blow up in less then a week is mind boggling
@@MrIrvash nah, nothing is blown up, Russia only hit civilian targets
gain their freedom or preserve the suppress of Russian descent people? in any case, it is obvious the only thing they are able to do successfully so far is fleeing away, before they are massacred by the evil Putin's army
@@eduwino151 they have 9 that we know of!
This is one of the elephants in the room that still baffles me about the war. The Poland-Ukraine border is not _very_ big; a bit over 500km long. But there's only like 8 active road border crossings. The Russians have been deploying lots of pretty long range precision weapons, and they surely have plenty capable surveillance satellites. So they _should,_ at least on paper, be plenty capable of detecting and tracking these these transports in real time and striking them quite reliably.
But they don't. It's almost like they're not even trying... (?) - If they worried about a risk of accidentally striking Polish/NATO territory and assets, then hitting them a good handful of km inside Ukraine would mitigate that risk.
It just seems so strange. They gladly spend 50-100 million (usd) worth of cruise and ballistic missiles in an hour or two, to strike shopping malls, schools, hospitals and residental buildings - but not logistics routes for incoming weapons?? You would think these transports and routes would be at the absolute top of the list of high value targets.
Just wondering if its wise to discuss the matter ..could give away how its done to the enemy and the enemy could take action as soon as the shipments are coming in to Ukraine border..but am sure those matters have been thought of before hand
really interesting... keep it up
Nicely done 💙💛
Why on earth would you want to reveal how and expose any potential secrets?
Dammit give them the most powerful weapons we have
no amount of Weapons can defeat Russia.
Yes, it appears weird given the importance of the supply lines..one has to agree.
It seems like Putin is under the assumption that when he wares out the cannon tubes and or runs out of artillery shells the Ukraine folks will be more than happy to negotiate away Donbas and Crimira if he will just go home, He also thought thought Ukraine would give up any thought of fighting Russia within a week or so.after the invasion.
It is not very smart to reveal how weapons are transported to Ukraine. This should be military top secret.
Great video. Thank you.
good luck ukraine
Good luck to the lads in the Ukraine 🇺🇦 god bless them
May God bless Poland and those who support Ukraine.

Those should be state secrets, not youtube info
Hopefully the Boring Company is getting near areas that matter, and it's impossible to cut delivery
1:18 I think that’s a polish howitzer.
Training rather than logistics is the tall pole in the tent
Russians are well aware of the airport these weapons are flying into. And they are well aware of the routes they are most likely taking into Ukraine. There aren't that many possible routes.
So you say the are destroying most of them ?
Russia can not close the routes. It's too easy for road crews to repair craters left by missiles. That's assuming the missile even hits which given the track record is not very good.
@@lambertlum1087 I wouldn't bother trying to bomb roads to crater them. There are plenty of small bridges along the way that have to cross a rail line or a small river. That's what you go for. The Iskander missile has an accuracy of 5-7 metres. Good enough to hit virtually every bridge along the various routes. Bridges take a lot longer to repair than craters in a road.
@@limedickandrew6016 Which begs the question, why are there so many bridges still operating, and allowing supplies into Ukraine's heartland. And this is after some months since the war has begun.
It seems the Iskanders are used up. Otherwise, how else would one explain Russia's use of anti-ship missiles against land targets. We might also point to the Syrian war depleting the Russian stockpile of Iskanders, leaving less for the Ukraine war.

Amazing job. So very proud of you all. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

Keep all the info as discrete as possible, the enemy does scout through videos like these?
This is one of most crucial but less talk about matter.
By now the ads on You Tube have become unbearable.
This information should not have been shared. Somebody might share it with the enemy. Success
Hundreds of billions of monetary aid and defense equipment and they're still gonna lose. What a waste.
Not to reveal too much of the routes. The enemy is watching. Ukraine should have alternative route if other route been detected.
Don t show this, only the Russians wants to know this.
Reports like this Puts Ukrainians Soldiers At Risk.
Its always been who will get there with the best, the most and who can last the longest.
BTW, where are the aircraft carriers?
Aircraft carrier? Admiral Kuznetsov(Russia) is notorious for its break downs, so at this moment, it is probably being towed by tugboats. It's such a lousy ship, no one wants it as a flag ship.
it is a long way from Poland to the frontline in Donbass, about 1200km....Slava Ukrain!!!
Couple days. Few days at most. Even if you drove 40kmh you can get it done in 30hrs.
One must have more faith ✌️
Well done 👍✅✅✅✅
Do a news story on the movement strategy…oh wait, here it is!
Thanks be to God! Glory!
I want to believe, but every time I look at a map of where the Russians are moving to Makes me cringe.
That's because Ukraine needs more heavy weapons. 8 HIMARS and 100 M777 is not enough to push back the Russians. Zelensky asked for 1000 M777. Then Ukraine can really knock Russia back.
If you call it kit
Get there firstest with the mostest. Logistics in 6 words. Soldiers win battles; logistics wins wars.
