Some people say this is a conspiracy by Putin and Prigozhin, but there are hundreds of other ways to do it without such a public display of chaos, including destroyed Russian aircraft and dead Russian pilots. Sometimes, people just do stupid things.
The only reason I even entertain that theory is because the 1 general who publicly called on Wagner to turn around and gave the order to send the air force to try and stop them is the 1 general who has disappeared since the mutiny. I think the latest Russian state line is that he "is resting"... Beyond that though your definitely right that there's a bunch of better ways to go about things.
What an odd chapter of this war that seems to have blown over. What was going on?! A coup to just fizzle out after a day? And then back to the war like nothing ever happened? Madness.
One thing that is interesting is they gave numbers on the amount of gear Wagner returned to the Russian army, pretty sure they didn’t give most of it back (based on the size of the Wagner group)
The answer is that both sides gave false numbers to totally confuse the West’s ability to keep track of. The one thing Russia is good at is disinformation.

@@blindenergy6694The Bolsheviks masscared the Romanov bloodline. The First Tsar wasn’t a Romanov, his wife was, and others held that title, including the King of Poland, before a Russian parliament elected a Romanov to be Tsar. So much for the divine right of kings 😹
Interesting little tidbit about the African peace delegation that apparently was forced into bomb shelters as a result of a Russian strike on Kiev during June 16/17. It bares a striking resemblance to an event that happened during the Vietnam war where during the war delegations from China and the USSR were in Hanoi and weren't entirely on Hanoi's side of things but then a full force bombing raid of B-52's came in during the talks and forced everyone into bunkers and scared the shit out of the USSR and Chinese diplomats after they saw what the USAF could do. The USSR ended up pledging a bunch of support, which when Mao in China found out he then refused to be outdone by the USSR so he pledged even more support.
On the topic of the Oryx blog. Covert Cabal just released a video a few days ago where they once again counted Russian arsenal depots for how much artillery they've pulled out since the start of the war and the artillery losses in Oryx seem to be quite understated. Covert Cabal counted over 5500 units of towed and self propelled artilley having been withdrawn by Russia since the start of the war. Of course this is not all losses due to the war as Russians have probably been pulling spare parts and barrels out of those guns but treat the Oryx numbers as an absolute minimum.
@@user-dx6bv2pe1s Of course. It's hard to visually verify artillery losses anyway because artillery positions are usually situated far from the front. In any case Russia is really burning off that Soviet inheritance they got in 1991.
A lot of the ones being pulled from storage will just be for replacement parts and barrels. Ukraine might not have destroyed 5500 pieces of artillery but if that many had to be canobolised to keep the current ones functioning that is just as good for Ukraine. Eventually their stockpiles will run out and they won't be able to keep up with demand for the front.
Everyone needs to take Zaluzhnyi's words to heart; whether or not outside observers are satisfied with the counter-offensive is irrelevant. It will proceed as quickly or as slowly as it needs to.
yeah, its kinda frustrating that people think its not working just cause the lines aren't moving. Ukraine is attacking prepared defenses, it was always going to be a slow, brutal grind.
A major development that I feel is left out is Gazprom’s direct involvement with their mercenaries. They have top dollar to siphon off more experienced mercenaries and is easily the strongest conglomerate in Eurasia. I think their involvement further accelerated Prighozin’s plans
This reminds me of a funny thing, what's happening with Pregozhin kinda looks like the first modern age Campaign in a very old strategy game "Empire Earth 1", same cities he visited and everything .

Which is far less than any intervention that the US was involved in.

Agreed, I heard from the RAF air chief marshall 86 fixed wing aircraft and 90 heilos means Russia still has 96% Wing and 90% Helios remaining! Also, I have noticed many fighters in AZ over the years, but this spring had many special training flights. For example: Luke AFB would send formations to the desert with a target plane [various euro types], followed by two F-16's, and one other commander/trainer F-class jet in the rear. There have been international training runs for decades here, but there was a sudden burst of F-16's in the skies in 2022-23.
I actually think sending ukraone F4 Phantoms and F5Es tiger are still quite valuable and capable airframes despite being 3rd generation. If upgraded to the fullest are on a level comparable to a 4th gen. I believe Western allies would surely not oppose to such decision since those aren't as vital as F16s which they seem rather unwillingly to sent initially. But most importantly having air superiority requires SEAD. Russia has quite a dense air defence coverage. F4s, F5s, F16s, legacy F15A/B/C/D , mirage or Rafael jets and griphen works
It feels like Ukraine definitely needs more assistance with regard to air support, which could potentially give their ground forces the mobility they're sorely lacking so they can finally break free of this unilateral slog of an assault.

What percentage of these pledgees of war material support from Western Nations have come to fruition in the past? How many of the current pledges are likely to be fulfilled? 98%? 95%? 70%? Are there some pledges that might be expected to come up short? How much of these war materials should Ukrainian commanders expect to realistically arrive within the coming year? Are there past pledges from supporting nations that have yet to be fulfilled or may be considered 'empty' pledges?
I think most pledges are about material they have on hand or can deliver rather swiftly (in relative terms ofcourse). If it still needs to be produced or such, that likely will be mentioned. Especially when you look at the pledges of non-round numbers, these are likely ones the countries are willing/capable to seperate with.

I feel I should raise a point: Metatron recently released a video covering what sorts of sponsorship he won't take. His reason for naming Masterworks was not any specific issue with them, there are those who call them a scam and he feels this is too harsh. Rather, he prides himself in the level of research he puts into his content and finds it likely that viewers might assume he puts the same level of effort into his research before giving financial advice. Since he is not a professional financial advisor, he feels it would be inappropriate to put his own voice behind any financial advice, which is what he perceives he would be doing by advertising an investment opportunity. What are your thoughts on this topic?
Ok? Your point being ? The DoD is known to have poor accounting for their budgeted funds. Some years, it’s the opposite, more money spent than was supposed to on a project. Would rather have an accounting error that would mean we’d have more than we previously calculated anytime.
Absolutely amazing and actually impactful aid! Thank you to all the West, Asian partners, and Oceanic parnters! Also great to see way more impactful losses to Russia's killer air force at the hands of Wagner then I had realised!
In edition to damaging Chonhar highway bridge, the most recent development shows that Ukraine also severely damaged the E97 highway ( Kerch bridge ). Not only was this a nasty blow to Russia's supply lines but it also hurt Putin's pride as a supreme leader

@@whitehorse4318 - except it wasn’t a coup, he didn’t want to overthrow Putin and backed down.
But yeah, sure, it has weakened the regime. Other actors who do want to seize power will have seen how no one opposed Prig, except some attack helicopters.
The only thing Ukraine DESPERATELY needs right now are ways to secure air superiority, mainly jets, so it is a bit jerking to see them being delivered so late.
Especially since green pilots and a whole new command structure around western fighter jets wont be implemented effectively for some time...

@@laonch6073 ukraine doesn't want russian territory all those attacks on russian territory have been from russians who rightly believe putin to have illegally seized power in russia and formed an authoritarian dictatorship and illegally attacked ukraine which is all true and ukraine will never topple zelensky he is their elected leader he is beloved by the ukrainians and ukraine will never surrender until the russians are out of 1991 ukraine territory
Agreed, I heard from the RAF air chief marshall 86 fixed wing aircraft and 90 heilos means Russia still has 96% Wing and 90% Helios remaining!
Also, I have noticed many fighters in AZ over the years, but this spring had many special training flights. For example: Luke AFB would send formations to the desert with a target plane [various euro types], followed by two F-16's, and one other commander/trainer F-class jet in the rear. There have been international training runs for decades here, but there was a sudden burst of F-16's in the skies in 2022-23.
I actually think sending ukraone F4 Phantoms and F5Es tiger are still quite valuable and capable airframes despite being 3rd generation. If upgraded to the fullest are on a level comparable to a 4th gen.
I believe Western allies would surely not oppose to such decision since those aren't as vital as F16s which they seem rather unwillingly to sent initially.
But most importantly having air superiority requires SEAD. Russia has quite a dense air defence coverage.
F4s, F5s, F16s, legacy F15A/B/C/D , mirage or Rafael jets and griphen works

I was watching it with my family in Greece and we went. "Wow, that's an interesting development." Then we remembered these guys have nukes.
Guys, these videos just keep getting better
It feels like Ukraine definitely needs more assistance with regard to air support, which could potentially give their ground forces the mobility they're sorely lacking so they can finally break free of this unilateral slog of an assault.
It's nice to see information that isn't propaganda. Thanks for your hard work!
"isn't propaganda" PFF!

“Mr Putin, Prigozhin’s forces are advancing!”
“Nice, how good were their gains?”
“Sir, there is a minor problem…”
Putin sure forgot to read Machiavelli's advice on mercenaries: at best competent and ambitious, at worst incompetent and self-serving.
“The first problem with mercenaries is that making them start fighting is very expensive. The bigger problem with mercenaries is that making them stop fighting is usually more so.”

Cannot wait to read about this war in future.
But if Ukraine uses cluster munitions, won’t Russia use them as well?
Russia has already been using them.
@@KingsandGenerals oh I see, well good to have them then I suppose, though I expect many more will die in this tide of darkness before the morning rise
Prigozhin just got killed now. Guess it was inevitable.
Music and your voice reminds me of commandos games when its briefing for mission
Thank you for the video
Thank you, really informative, cool voice.
Love the music you guys use!
great work! I really appreciate your effort...
Thanks!
@@KingsandGenerals Best coverage of the war forsure! I was looking forward to this Wagner Doc
I am amazed that in only like a week after this had happened, it just disappeared. Nobody gave a shit about it
Thanks.
Now I know that I will get real info with graphics.
I've been looking forward to this video and I appreciate the work you do.

LOOOOOL Can't wait to watch this.
We went from Kyiv in three days to Moscow in two days

Thank you
My god its funny how they are losing helicopters to their own people xD 5:30
Casually strolling through as they shot down helicopter after helicopter (and a command post that tried to turn back 😂), like some sort of videogame protagonist.
They made Russian air forces look like Team Rocket 😂
Yes. Finally!!!
There is a reason he is living with his loyal troops in a tent.
What percentage of these pledgees of war material support from Western Nations have come to fruition in the past? How many of the current pledges are likely to be fulfilled? 98%? 95%? 70%? Are there some pledges that might be expected to come up short? How much of these war materials should Ukrainian commanders expect to realistically arrive within the coming year? Are there past pledges from supporting nations that have yet to be fulfilled or may be considered 'empty' pledges?
I think most pledges are about material they have on hand or can deliver rather swiftly (in relative terms ofcourse). If it still needs to be produced or such, that likely will be mentioned. Especially when you look at the pledges of non-round numbers, these are likely ones the countries are willing/capable to seperate with.
Aww, no mention of the bombing of the Voronezh fuel refinery during Wagner's march to prevent them from refueling 😅
Really interesting
On the 16 june, Belgium has also pledged to send m113 véhicules to Ukraine.
So just to ask…..why does Belgium have so many fricken m113s?
They’ve been sending them over since this war started.
@@nobodyherepal3292
Because those véhicules were not the propriety of Belgian army anymore
It had been sold to Belgian sociaty
Not it's gonna be bougth back to be sent to Ukraine
Thanks
Great video as always! 👍
Excellent research.
Love your channel. Make a shirt that has your logo!! I'll buy that!
Feels more and more like WW1 style sitting frontlines
23:07 Oh isn't that weird? Just a tiny $6B accounting error...
No, Perun explained this in one video, accounting old equiment is hard.
when you are counting equipment and not money, no, it's not weird
0:33 No, it wasn't a coup. It was a mutiny, as it's even written in the title. Putin wasn't the target, it was the Russian MoD leadership (Gerasimov, Shoigu, etc.).
I had high hopes for the Russian invasion of Russia. 🇷🇺
It is invasion of Russia by Russians.
we all did.
Dream on
@@thedragon5367 yeah to have high hopes in the competency of the Russian army is folly.
I was actually let down by the hot dog slinger. I was a strong supporter of baldy's "Special Military March for justice" against former brick layer and never served in the army Sergey Shoigu's 😂 military.

Cool video 🙂
In the news: Prigozhin and Utkin may be dead.
how could one make an accounting error for 6.2 billion dollars?!!
You misattribute the old equipment as new.
Dont forget that Prigozhin and his men have commited countless war crimes during Wagner's existance including In Syria and 2 conflicts agains Ukraine.
I feel I should raise a point: Metatron recently released a video covering what sorts of sponsorship he won't take. His reason for naming Masterworks was not any specific issue with them, there are those who call them a scam and he feels this is too harsh. Rather, he prides himself in the level of research he puts into his content and finds it likely that viewers might assume he puts the same level of effort into his research before giving financial advice. Since he is not a professional financial advisor, he feels it would be inappropriate to put his own voice behind any financial advice, which is what he perceives he would be doing by advertising an investment opportunity.
What are your thoughts on this topic?
Artwork has no intrinsic value so who in their right mind would think it’s a good investment? Just my 2 cents.
Hold on, theres a town in Ukraine called Niu-York. Am I living in simulation?
This was a top 10 anime betrayal
Only in the US can a $6 Billion Accounting error occur, and rattle one like it's a small inconvenience
Ok?
Your point being ? The DoD is known to have poor accounting for their budgeted funds. Some years, it’s the opposite, more money spent than was supposed to on a project. Would rather have an accounting error that would mean we’d have more than we previously calculated anytime.
Then u have no idea the level of coruption outside the us
Strength and Muscle and Jungle work... this is what they took from us...
I was driving all day the day the coup started for 10 hours. When I stopped and checked my phone for the news, I was very surprised and confused
Absolutely amazing and actually impactful aid! Thank you to all the West, Asian partners, and Oceanic parnters! Also great to see way more impactful losses to Russia's killer air force at the hands of Wagner then I had realised!
In edition to damaging Chonhar highway bridge, the most recent development shows that Ukraine also severely damaged the E97 highway ( Kerch bridge ). Not only was this a nasty blow to Russia's supply lines but it also hurt Putin's pride as a supreme leader
Still getting money from shady sponsers I see.
Finally!
is the wagner group relocating to belarus? is this a preparation for opening another front? or involving Belarus in the near future?
Unlikely
@@KingsandGenerals Yea, way too elaborate for that. They could have redeployed Wagner far more covertly if opening a new front was the objective.
