- Опубліковано 15 бер 2023
- In the east of Ukraine fighting continues to rage over the city of Bakhmut. It’s the longest-running battle since the Russian invasion.
Bakhmut has been fought over for seven months and tens of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian troops have been killed there.
Huw Edwards presents a BBC News at Ten special report by Quentin Sommerville and cameraman Darren Conway - who spent time on the frontline with Ukrainian soldiers just 500 metres from Russian forces.

Maxim gun is perfectly OK, if it is mounted in semi static position or on the vehicle, because it is heavy. It is incredible reliable and can fire for hours without any stop - due to water cooling.
So, if properly used, it is a capable and dangerous weapon.
BTW - the extremely popular in the US Army the heavy machine gun M2 was designed by Browning and was introduced at the end of 1st Worl War. Nearly as old as Maxim.
Perfectly ok 100 years ago pal 😂
@@shsh-he5qg ah yes, the maxim (due to age) can no longer kill people.
40,000 dead Orcs at Bakhmut might disagree with you a bit😂

Lol give over every one knows Ukraine are losing at least 7 to 1.
Thats why they are Crying and Begging and Begging again.
Beaten by "The BORG " resistence is Futile.
Beaten by Ex con's with shovel's.
Ukraine is Fubar. Move on.
Bakhmut is becoming something of a mix between the battles of Stalingrad and Verdun: tacitcally it's being fought like the former, while strategically it closer to the latter.
You are right
Pretty much. Overall I think that with our military support Ukrainians will be more than able to hold off these barbarians. With all the modern IFVs and tanks coming to Ukraine now, they will be able not only to defend their country, but also to deoccupy all the regions previously captured by russia.
@@jeraldkozey6095 Indeed. The situation is a bit tight with both sides apparently running out of ammo, but with any luck Ukraine should be able to mount a decisive counteroffensive come spring. If it's successful in pushing the Russians out of the Donbas or retaking Melitopol and Mariupol, then Putin's done for.
@@TheVoiceOfReason93Tanks and IFV's should have been coming in since February last year, now I don't see any side making any decisive gains. The counteroffensive in Kharkiv succedeed because Ukraine outnumbered Russia on that front 8 to 1, and Russia had less men deployed than Ukraine up until November, thats when the counterattacks everywhere should have gone ahead.
Now they are roughly equal in manpower, with more and more Russian soldiers arriving day by day whilst Ukraine has already had to conscript old men and teenagers as young as 16.

these men will never return..or if the do they will have shovels marks all over them
I think i saw a video of the guy with the beard get hit with an artillery shell close range.
First they said Bakhmut is strategically unimportant, apparently it's important now
That's how they keep lying to us, but we are well updated we know most of the things
How can it not be important if it is the homeland of Ukrainians and their legitimate territory? Ukrainians fight for every inch of their land, of course, all cities will be important to them.
Been to war 3 times now in my military career, it plays on your nerves, you experience horrific nightmares, but somehow it becomes the norm, until peace time, then it comes back with a vengeance.... you must prepare and fight that battle too. God bless these guys...glory to Ukraine...😢

Terrible what is happening in Ukraine, but when i watch a broadcast like this, i just begin thinking about how my great grandfather's brother felt in the trenches on the western front during world war 1 ☕️
Civilians in Donbass continue to bear the brunt of shelling, and the military situation is deteriorating. Once again, Putin is deploying the bulk of his forces to the conflict. The Kremlin's approach is similar to that of terrorists, according to Prigozhin, who claims that the city is practically blockaded.
It is frightening to imagine that a similar war is now taking place in the heart of Europe

@@markodiusrex7114 yes but what if the invaders dont believe in god or being good to another being or less respect bounderies. Thats why chaos happen because one side is no respect to another. If god really sees this, then he would understand why ukraine is defending their land because it contains their culture and family loveones. Its sad to loss another unique culture because it got conquered by one thats is dominant. But i thought russia and ukraine are related, why russia wants to kill a brother that does not want follow him or just want to be independent. Talk about respect is also about life preservation.

Imagine walking between actual bullets-500 metres!’
Ya, the Canadian snipers serving in the foreign legion are having an absolute field day: static positions 500m apart couldn't be a more perfect situation for them. Even if they station themselves 3-500m behind their own front lines they can still reach deep into the front lines of the enemy with the 338. And because the lines are so static, they'll finish work, drive 15 minutes back to civilization and go for pizza and a beer. It's just insane that Russia continues to throw themselves at this wall.

Thankful for the reporting, but im confused... This report calls the city a Key Hub but I have seen multiple other reports saying it holds no strategic value.
Outgunned, outnumbered but a 7 to 1 kill ratio....aye right
What a BS
Ukraine is dug in, Russians are attacking with almost no armour and it’s artillery has shell rationing - so it’s not surprising.
They are defending whereas the russians are attacking, and the russians get shot if they turn back. I'm not sure if the Ukrainians are outgunned but they are outnumbered for sure. For now.
That soldier at 3:20 made me laugh. " 120 years of killing russians" Kudos to BBC journalist for simply being that close.

Still using Maxim machineguns, it really shows that in the old days they built things to last.
Pulling this from memory but I think it was a Maxim that set a world record for the number of shots fired continuously. This was around WW1 or maybe just after 11.11.1918. As long as the water jacket around the barrel was pushing coolant it kept firing. The amount was well up into a sky high amount of many thousands.
@@LuvBorderCollies That's why it's still used in static define positions. It can fire all day...

Yes,I am still interested.
These conditions in which Ukrainian troops are fighting against russian occupants are just horrifying. Surivivng in these ruins of a city must be incredibly tough. And still russians are not able to capture Bakhmut even after so many months of trying to achieve that. This only shows how stong and motivated Ukrainian warriors are. Even though their enemy has an advantage in practically everything, they are standing their ground with dignity. It's up to us to help these heroes, because with modern weaponry and equipment that we can provide, their fight will be even more effective.
they're brave and they have counter weapon provided by nato.
Its because russia doesnt want to capture it totally thats why its called "grinding" each of the side wants to inflict more damage rather than capturing it
You people lose in Afghanistan, lose against Iran , can't fully control Pakistan _ your non NATO dog , here you are using Ukrainian shoulders to fight against Russia, I am surprised how much Ukrainians are foolish they are fighting for western and American interests.

Fighter jets are 'worthless' over Ukraine, and it's a sign of what US pilots and troops may face in future battles
By Christopher Woody
Thu, 16 March 2023
Ukraine is estimated to have lost more than 60 aircraft and Russia more than 70, according to Gen. James Hecker, the commander of US Air Forces in Europe .
Hecker told reporters at the Air and Space Forces Association symposium that Russia's larger air force still has jets it could devote to the war, as does Ukraine - but there is an issue.
"The problem is both of the Russian, as well as the Ukrainian success in integrated air and missile defense, have made much of those aircraft worthless. They're not doing a whole lot because they can't go over and do close air support," Hecker said.
Long-range sensors and missiles allow Russian aircraft to target Ukrainian aircraft behind the front lines, further limiting Ukrainian operations, but Kyiv's jets continue to launch strikes on Russian forces, often relying on US weaponry to do so.
As a result, neither side is able to provide close air support to its troops on the front line.
US pilots and ground troops may face a similar situation in future wars, US Air Force leaders say.
After a year of fighting, neither the Russian nor Ukrainian air forces have been able to take control of the skies over Ukraine. This has severely limited the role that fighter jets have played in the conflict, and it's a preview of what US troops could face in the future, US Air Force officials say.
While Russian and Ukrainian aircraft are still active, each side's air-defense weapons - such as major Soviet-era anti-aircraft systems like the S-300 or newer shoulder-fired missiles like the US-made Stinger - have forced the other to make tactical adaptations, such as launching less-accurate rocket attacks from longer ranges rather than sending aircraft to provide close air support over the front lines.
Ukraine is estimated to have lost more than 60 aircraft and Russia more than 70, according to Gen. James Hecker, the commander of US Air Forces in Europe. Hecker told reporters at the Air and Space Forces Association symposium that Russia's larger air force still has jets it could devote to the war, as does Ukraine - but there is an issue.
"The problem is both of the Russian, as well as the Ukrainian success in integrated air and missile defense, have made much of those aircraft worthless. They're not doing a whole lot because they can't go over and do close air support," Hecker said.
Long-range sensors and missiles allow Russian aircraft to target Ukrainian aircraft behind the front lines, further limiting Ukrainian operations, but Kyiv's jets continue to launch strikes on Russian forces, often relying on US weaponry to do so.
A anti-radiation missiles, which US engineers jury-rigged to operate with Ukraine's Soviet-designed jets, allow Ukrainian pilots to target Russian radars and anti-aircraft batteries and recently delivered US-made kits allow Ukrainian jets to launch gravity-dropped bombs from further away.
Using those weapons and other assets, Ukraine's air force is able to do "a couple of strikes a day" at ranges "a little bit farther than HIMARS can get right now, but not real far out at all," Hecker said.
The lack of close air support for Russian and Ukrainian troops and the thicket of air-defense weaponry preventing it is a departure from what US troops have faced in recent wars, according to Gen. Charles Brown, the US Air Force chief of staff.
"We cannot predict the future of what kind of environment we're going to fight in, for one, but I fully expect it'll be much more contested," Brown said at the symposium on March 7.
"The amount of close air support we will do will probably be less than we've done in the past, typically in the Middle East, because that environment was that we didn't have an air threat or a surface-to-air threat."
Asked about Hecker's comments, Brown said
that it was "spot on" to say that "in a contested environment it's going to be tough to execute the close air support."
"Close air support in a contested environment, that's not what we do, no matter who you are," Brown added.
---------------------------
What the TV "military analysts" are peddling on TV shows, is completely devoid of military tactical knowledge, rationale or logic-but if you know whom to listen to and when, then you will understand why the Russian operation looks and feels very different to the western foreign operations of yore...

Respect to that camera crew for showing and explaining to the world of how bad war is ! ... ... and did I hear correctly that one soldier said "world war 3" ?
It sure can happen if we won't support Ukraine. Also for some reason people keep saying that we need to negotiate with putin and his lapdogs. Negotiate about what? About russians taking 20% of Ukraine for themselves? How is that even a negotiation? Until every single russian occupant leaves Ukrainian soil there should be no "peace talks". Trusting russians is a mistake we can't allow ourselves to make. Instead we need to provide as much military support as we possibly can to Ukrainian army.
@@jeraldkozey6095 So you believe the Russians are just going to say "well that was a bad idea... I'm going to home home now"? Or that Ukraine is capable of destroying the entire Russian army? Because you can file that under not going to happen.
Don't you think this is World War III? Personally, it looks a lot like that to me
He's not wrong:
a) this is how world wars start
b) even at this point, Russia has an argument (not a good one, but I can empathize with their position), there are veterans from every NATO country fighting in the foreign legion with ammo supplied by NATO, training both new recruits and experienced soldiers in NATO tanks and aircraft, all paid through Ukraine with money given to them by NATO, so you can see Russia's position that they are fighting the entire world, because in a very real way (and don't read this as sympathy, I have none for Russia, they can go home any time they like) they are in fact fighting the entire world!

Just want you to know that we Filipino are on your side, we cannot give you ammunitions like US and EU, but I am sure my government along with all the people in the Philippines is in your side in your battle
To exist HOW??!!! With gay parades and degradations just about everywhere even in the elementary schools libraries, abortion on demand and without apologies in the name of 'freedom', riots, lootings, people demanding reparations because of the color of their skins and calling you 'racist' when you oppose, demanding 'tolerance' and 'free speech' while burning cities and killing and discriminating against folks who oppose them, etc.? And you blame Putin for fighting against that? What planet do you come from again??!!!
Fighting is one thing, dying in a cauldron is quite another thing.😢
So you support Bangsamoro secession from Philippines right? Or is it okay for you to take away their "Right to Exist", Huh? Besides, no one was trying to take away Ukraine's right to exist. Ukraine was trying to take away the Donetsk Republic's right to exist. Luhansk Republic's right to exist. They are 90% Russian speakers there, they are Russians, and Ukraine was banning Russian language and now banning Russian Orthodox Church. Isn't trying to ban someone's language and religion trying to stop them from existing? It's called "democide" and the Ukrainian Nazis are all for it. 75%+ of Ukrainian men fled Ukraine instead of fighting. Those who stayed are hardcore Nazis who want to kill all Russian speakers in Ukraine. All the soldiers admit when the war is over they don't want to allow the 2.8 million Russian speaking refugees to come back to the Donbass. They all say this.
Even Zelensky made a joke in 2015, that the Banderites wanted war with Russia so they could steal Russian property like they stole Jewish property during WW2. Ukrainian nationalists view Nazi Stepan Banderas as the founding father of Ukraine. Yet now Zelensky is building statues to Stepan Banderas in Kiev, to a man he called an evil Nazi who killed thousands of Jews in the holocaust, now he builds his statue.
Confirmed!
Yes,I confirm.
Super serious balls to be reporting from there. Wow!

@@christopherkims Ukraine shall rely on US to pay pensions. Ukraine shall have half the country turned to rubble. Ukraine shall have a GDP of 0. Ukraine will never meet NATO requirements after this war. Ukraine is already lost. Peace is the answer

Better for Army to retreat live and fight another day. Similar to Stalingrad in this Battle Germany was surprise attacked in surrounded if had broken out Early could saved their Army but stayed and died
This ain’t ww2 you moron
Confirmed!
Yes,I am still interested.
May all ukrainian soldiers rest in peace
Ukrainians are stupid
Where is all the Air and heavy armor patrol from either side?
As noted elsewhere, the Maxim is ideal for this sort of trench warfare.
The fact that in 2023, there is a war reminiscent of the Great War is beyond tragic.
Actually no aspect of this war works like it worked in Great War. Its just for tv. Soldiers are there just to occupy the space so enemy cant claim it. 95% of UA casualties are not from other soldiers shooting. It's artillery, loitering ammunition, drones, mortars ect.
@hagestad
Well you say that, but there are still three trenches and the Maxim Machine Gun, which incidentally dates back to 1884 and was already some 30 years old in 1914. It was first used in the Sudan Campaign against the Mahdi.
One thing I doubt that the Ukrainian soldiers will have to endure will be the "Seam Squirrel" or body louse.
I remember my paternal grandfather Arthur Kelly showing me the scars on his body caused by lice bites (remember the body louse takes much more blood per bite than its cousin, the head louse).
However, they still appear to have mud and rats. Grandfather told some pretty grim tales about both of them!
@@nicholaskelly1958 Are there any less deadly to the infantry ? BTW Both sides use them.
"Never again"
Let Germany build up armed forces with no consequences
"This time we really mean it"
Let Russia build up armed forces with no consequences
Those who don't study history...
@@hagestad And how exactly do you think they died in WW1? The modern combat helmet was literally invented during WW1 to prevent head injuries from artillery!
Courageous reporting.
Propaganda
pathetic bbc geting bots to kiss tehir own ass
@@bbcisaids6727 how much you get paid by the Russian government to defend Russia on the internet? Your literally in every video about this topic Lmaooo 😅
Sadly for him, a pittance.

'Drawn a line in the mud' is very good.
Proper journalism
Propaganda is proper journalism now? Reporting 7-to-1 kill ratios 😂 Soldier's bragging of killing 50 enemies a day and pretending no casualties on their side...
Just because he steps in a trench and mud doesn't make it true... that's not journalism. Now Seymour Hersh's article about the US blowing up the Nordstream pipeline, the worst ecological disaster in world history and the largest release of methane gas in world history, that's real reporting. Too bad the world's worst eco-terrorists will not be held to account despite warming the planet significantly with their attack on a NATO ally.
