It is worth to pay attention to who is surprised by all that or think that Ukraine is bluffing. It reveal imperialistic minds quite well! In reality Ukraine was the competent part of Soviet Union, who both did developed Russian Nuclear Weapons and Space Program (they navy, tanks, etc.). Hell! Ukraine still have space agency capable to make space rocket. It actually was not surprise that giving the time they could recreate own missile arsenal, considering that they literally are needed to maintain Russian ICBM's. Russians are mostly imperialistic clowns, who steal credit from others and pretend to be what they aren't.
@@oskarwall2611 Yes. Especially people thinking that West is collapsing and Russia isn't the largest third world country on planet, what lie about everything.
People tend to think that Soviet Union was Russia. Ukraine's engineers and industry was a big part of it, they have the industry with traditions and the brains to do it.
The Soviet Union was run by inept dweebs who survived WW2 with the worst of the spoils. No missile engineers, no ball bearing plants. The scientists, strategic and tactical planners on their side of the Iron Curtain spent considerable time shaking their heads in gulags after they spoke up and flew the BS flag. Their only saving grace is that they continued development and refinement of rocket motors after they lost the race to the moon. That's why we relied on them to ferry our astronauts to the space station for years - make many dollars doing that. Close only matters in nuclear weapons, grenades, and your own tennis court.

@heyhoe168 Comparing the nation of Afghanistan to Ukraine is like comparing apples to grapes. One is a homogeneous entity under one national flag weather you like it or not the DNR and DPR are fake countries made by the Russian state to destabilize Ukraine, and the other is a disunited shitshow with many different tribes with very different ideas on who should own what. The Taliban were part of the Mujahideen but later split off due to disagreements with other Mujahideen.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise. Privdenne in Dnipro were building ICBMs since the 1960s. It’s quite possible they got the solid fuel technology from a western company
Ukraine has some of the best advanced engineers in the world due to their outstanding and rigorous STEM education at all levels. They designed most of the Soviet space program and many of the soviet missiles. I have no doubt that Ukraine has the brains to build such a missile.
all their “brains” left country before war and in first days. No doubt as people they have potential- but such people only way to succeed was to run from that corrupt shithole. There is noone left to build anything so complex.
I second this, they were a centre for nuclear and conventional weapons production. They developed nukes, produced carriers, created air to air missiles, and manufactured aircraft.
@@dexterplameras3249 isn't that basicly why russia wants it? donbas coal plus kursk ores is a split up soviet heritage, one needs that for heavy weapons like tank and ship manufacturing, pointing on azovstal. avdiivka for example was a missing puzzle piece to ramp up production in donezk again.
"There are many rumors being propagated that our country is developing a weapon of mass destruction, and i would just like to take this opportunity to allay fears." "Are we developing such a weapon? No, we are not." "Because we have already developed it."
Kremlin: always lies Ukraine: we have not developed nukes Kremlin: crap they are developing nukes. What do we do? I'd say ukraine knows how to play the kremlin and its culture of strategic lying. Which is an actual word in russian
Chris, good video but you didn't mention Pakistan. I have been following the Ukrainian alliance with Pakistan on nukes. Looks like the Ukrainian warheads might already be in Pakistan.
Not a surprise since Soviet missiles and rockets were mostly designed, built and serviced in Dnipro and subsequently Ukraine serviced and built most of the S- rockets

Ukrainians designed and developed the best Soviet missiles and turbines and due to this experience independent Ukraine designed and manufactured the only gas turbines for powerplants the Russians used that weren't western, the GTD-110, because Russians couldn't themselves. Now Russians modernized an old Ukrainian gas turbine to call it their own GTD-110M.
He never said Ukraine will develop nukes. He later clarified. It was his English not being his first language. He meant that for a country like Ukraine to be independent and safe it needs either nukes or an alliance like NATO. He didn't mean they will get nukes if they won't get into NATO. He meant they HAVE TO get into NATO, because they don't have nukes.
Ukraine should have both. Russia renegged on the deal. The UK and the US won't give Ukraine security guarantees. Since everyone is fine with Ukraine getting screwed over, I wouldn't be surprised if its leaders said F it, we gotta do what we gotta do and everyone else is gonna have to deal with it.
I worked way out in the middle of nowhere in the Canadian oilfield and took a cheap thermal/NV spotting scope thing with me since we stayed on site in the middle of the woods. I got made fun of it by quite a few people, but really everyone who hadn’t used one enjoyed trying it, and it actually ended up coming in handy since we had bears, mountain lions, and moose in the area regularly. One night I noticed a vac truck hotter than I’d ever seen (instead of the engine and exhausts being the hottest spots, the whole front of the truck seemed really hot, even the glass) and asked the operator who was busy working if he’d noticed, or if it was meant to be that hot? It wasn’t. That camera saved his truck at the very least, but potentially saved us all on site from something much worse going wrong.
A lot of people do not realize Ukraine was the technology hub of the USSR everything went through the Ukraine and they are built different in the Ukraine very intelligent people
Partially true. Most production facilities were in Ukraine and were designed there, BUT almost all chief engineers/designers were either born in todays russian oblasts and got their education in moscow by russians. Almost all ukrainians that are involved in any new military inventions (tanks, engines, arms) got their education in moscow too, by russians. Even if you dig more into the topic you will find out that even many of the ukrainian engineers that participated in someway are actually russians, because their parents originated from Russia and they were only born in Ukraine. This was quite often the case since most production facilities were in Ukraine and their parents had to move from Russia to Ukraine. These young men went back to study in Moscow and returned as engineers back to Ukraine.

Hrim (Грім): Ukrainian for “thunder” transcribed into latin letters Grom (Гром): Russian for “thunder” transcribed into Latin letters Ukrainian “Г” has a “gh” sound, like “Galicia”, so the pronunciation is like “ghrim”. edit: g -> gh
@@bobfels5343 as someone below pointed out, the Ukrainian “Г” creates a sound that’s between the “h” and “g” it’s not quite an “h” but not a hard “g” either.
Zelensky clearly said they don't need nukes they need NATO. Also ppl tend to forgot it, at one point Ukraine was the 3rd biggest nuclear power after the USSR fell apart. They gave up on nukes for exchange for protection of their sovereignty. How ironic...
Wasn't there's to begin with it was the Soviet Union they wanted to be in dependant after Russia is the sucessor of the Soviet Union so they took them back not just from Ukraine but belarus Kazakhstan and a few others none of these states ever was a nuclear power
Now that N Korean troops have been sent to the area, Ukraine should get in touch with South Korea's huge arms industry. I'm sure these two genius countries will get on very well.
ooooooh BUHU north korean soldiers are helping russia, not like ukraine has US army rangers, nato soldiers disguised as "mercenaries" and soldiers from all nato countries. spain, germany, poland, latvia, sweden, norway, netherlands, france and even Israel....cry me a fucking river
Hi, you're slightly incorrect about Tochka-U numbers before 2022. There was a program for repair and change solid rocket fuel in late 2010-s for a number of missile types, primarily air-defense but also some Tochka-U have been put back in action. At least a few hundreds where available by the beginning of 2022, but of course they were used up very quickly. Most troubles gave an old 6-wheeled chassis, no longer produced in Ukraine and parts hard to come by, so there was only 10 to 20 operational launchers available by 2022. This was stated in interview with volunteers helping to fund this renovation program just before full scale invasion.
You dont know anything about this war ,they lost their most important teritory for their economy with so many mines and fertile soil fields ,how many people run away from ukraine ,and what will happend when the TCC guys start kidnaping youngsters from 18-25 y.o. . So many weapons and money world gave them and they didnt move a frontline even by an inch...
It's not considering Ukraine no longer owns pretty much any of the so called bread basket of Europe. It's been sold off for weapons and black rock bought it. Now American corporations will do whatever it costs to keep Russia from pacifying that area. The cost of war is so sad. Ukraine lost hundreds of thousands of their country men... For what. So zelensky wouldn't be butchered by Azov?. It's just awful!
You can't strike into Russia *using our weapons* because of escalation.* Fixed that for you. I think it's BS, but it's an important distinction, we never said they can't attack, just they can't attack using what we have given them; which in some ways is dumber in others makes some sense sorta. We're supporting Ukraine in a defensive war, Washington doesn't want Russia to escalate so we're being delicate; it's stupid but that's Washington for you.
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket It's to prevent the US from direct escalation with Russia. You want them to attack Russia openly? You sound like a nutjob not understanding nuance.
U.S.: The only reason you are still around is because the U.S. is funding this war. If you don’t think you need us anymore then let us know and we will immediately stop sending you billions of dollars and advanced weapons. Ukraine: …
In a few years Ukraine will have another generation of drones and have dozens of f16. The challenge for Ukraine is to have enough manpower and territory in a a few years so that they can regat.
It's not even second. Sapsan system has been used in first months of war against few targets in Crimea and Russia. The problem was a lack of missiles. That's why I personally hate out politicians. The war in country for almost decade. You're not ready to finance the main rocket system. They even not modernized Tochka-U systems. We had only about 100 rockets of class and less than 250 missiles for Burevee and Vilkhah, which is an analogs of GMLRS and ER GMLRS.
Government paper-pushers determining on a tactical level where strikes are allowed or disallowed... It reminds me of how bombing missions were planned in Vietnam in order to not upset the Soviets/Russians. And that didn't turn up well. Needing an approval to launch by United States is a ridiculous constraint to place on Ukraine. They have to be able to use all weapons we give them however they want to.
Its also a bad move long term for the US arms industry. Anybody purchasing US made weapons now has to recognize and account for any possible restrictions the US may put on their purchase. You purchase arms to protect yourself. Only being able to protect yourself with US permission is not a happy position to be in. I foresee a significant market opportunity for Ukrainian (free of US restrictions) arms sales when this mess is over.
@@harrymoyes5069 No, these weapons are gifted or loaned. If Ukraine outright bought them, there would be no restrictions on their use. Apples and oranges.
@@MrRobertX70 Then why cannot the UK give permission for Ukraine to use the Stormshadow missiles, that are UK/Swedish missiles supplied, but use is being blocked by the US because of American parts. Why can countries that have purchased F16 from America, not supply them to Ukraine to use as they see fit. My guess is that lots of countries are reviewing the purchase conditions attached to anything of American origin.
I'm not sure what's surprising about such project - rather lack of it would be more surprising! The legacy of Soviet-era missile projects you've mentioned was what's enabled Ukrainian industry to produce rockets for bringing civilian cargoes to orbit - namely, Soviet era Cyclone series (which itself was a derivative of R-36 ICBM, courtesy of the very same Pivdenmash), and post-Soviet Zenith series. Both cargo capacity was in TONNES, bro - and meant to achieve velocities necessary for staying on orbit. Going back to making ballistic (i.e. sub-orbital) missiles that were meant to fall back would really seem like a downgrade at this point ;)
Hey brother, I really love your delivery. I balance my intake of news and history entertainment with you and the fat electrician. I really do appreciate everything you and all the people there working with you do!
Even developing and being able to test ICBM's while in a war is extraordinary imo. Putin must surely be confused, all those hypersonic missile strikes on civilians did nothing to stop actual development of weapons!
The Russians learned early on that they simply cannot hit defended targets. The russian missiles are a joke for anything like even vaguely modern air defences. So the Ukrainians have protected their most critical things, and then Russia just started killing civilians instead. That's why the Ukrainians are basically winning the war, Russia can't kill the whole population even though they would love to genocide Ukraine, and they can't prevent the Ukrainians from hitting russian economic assets (oil stuff) and russian logistics (ammunition dumps, fuel, etc). Because the Russian offensive capacity does not have the ability to hit defended targets, all they have left is meat waves and targeting civilian homes and hospitals and other civilian stuff. So Russia is losing their military equipment, while Ukraine is sacrificing some civilian lives. Thing is, tragic as the math is, russia will run out of military capability a long long time before Ukraine will rn out of people or land to slowly retreat to.
Do you not know that the Russians control 25 percent of Ukraine and that land is never coming back. Why would Russians use expensive hypersonic missiles on civilians. You need to start making sense.
Hell, there was theDavy Crockett nuclear weapon, pretty much a cross between and RPG and a mortar. Carried by three soldiers, it was tactical nuke you could hide in a suitcase and deploy in 30 seconds. I wouldn't want to fire it without some really good cover to get into right afterwards, though. Look it up, it's hilarious.
@@harryhan2525 Well, more like almost as big as the range. But yeah, still kind of silly to think the soldiers would actually fire the damned thing in anything but an already hopeless situation....which is kinda dumb for a tactical weapon, lol.
Uh they still exist. Not the Davy crockcrap thing. But actual artillery, mind it's tiny, just a 155mm. Burst radius is not nearly as great as the range. The 8" version had more range and a bigger bang. Special weapons aren't just for the marines Uber or the chair force.
Dude, I watched his speech when he talked about nukes and NATO and when he tried to explain what he said. He didn't say he wanted nukes or that they weren't ruling them out. He said the only way to secure their freedom and security, they would either need nukes or to be in NATO.... Them clearly said he doesn't want nukes, he chooses NATO! You shouldn't act like the main stream media bro!
nobody wants people building nukes .. the world should be encouraging countries never to build them ... deterrent or not ...lets say ukraine had them when putin attacked ? there could be a nuclear war in europe . did that cross your mind at all ?
Worth remembering ukraine used to make orbital class rockets too. They def have the industrial know how. A ballistic missile is basically a toy sized version of one.
Zelensky clearly stated that Ukraine does not want nuclear weapons. They want to join NATO. He stated this with BATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at NATO HQ in Brussels.
Those that know their history know that the industrial heartbeat that basically made the CCCP what it was, was founded mostly in Ukraine. One reason Pootin wants Ukraine so bad. Pootin Ruzzia is only really good at producing timber; ( axe - horse and cart and there you go Igor! ) they may be rich in oil deposits, but like other countries , they NEED outside 'western help' when it comes to oil extraction and refinement. Venezuela is also rich in oil, but they also lack the know-how when it comes to oil extraction and refinement. Money in the ground that can not be turned to a usable disposable liquid asset.
US has "launched" two out of the bomb doors of Super fortresses, and at least one exo-atmospheric test has been conducted, and they sure did not build a test tower that high.
Ukraine's President didn't say they want nukes, nor that they would consider building them. He did say that they gave the Soviet ones they had back to Russia with the agreement that the US and Russia would respect Ukraine's independence. He said Ukraine wants to become a NATO member, not Nukes.
@@humansvd3269 This applies only to intercontinental ballistic missiles. However, apart from them, Ukraine had strategic bombers (Tu-22, Tu-160), and a huge stockpile of tactical nuclear missiles for them. In addition, simply removing the need to obtain launch codes from Moscow was also completely possible and would not take much time
Oh have you never gone to school? Ukraine used to be part of the USSR, which part? The part that made their jet engines, their missiles, and all kinds of advanced technology including the Russian Navy's submarines and air craft carriers. You don't think a country in 2024 can build what they built 40 years ago when they've got US aid and the might of NATO logistics behind them? Why is that?
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket if they had a pause in RnD for 40 years? Well if they start right now after about 20 years of building up this competence back - maybe
Let me just remind you that one of russia's most advanced missiles fell into the Dnipro River. It's no secret that it was found and retrieved, meaning that we got the Kinzhal almost intact.
how about instead of shaming accept the fact that Ukraine has been a poor country ever since the fall of the Soviet Union once they started to see financial success from the west that's when the old KGB dog Putin decided to invade the old dog needs to just go away so everyone can prosper
@@KILLKING110 Yoy! Happy boy! A lot of Ukrainian earn money themself because of they could and will? Much more than in russia. Poor country? Could you explain yourself? What makes you think of Ukraine as a poor? Please!
Ukraine had agreements from allies for protection, so doubled down on farming etc. Became the bread basket of the world. They had no choice but to transform their economy after the fall of the Soviet Union.
@@carlclark1689 I'm going to have to point out that this is false. According to the 2014 stats (assuming we should go back before the Donetsk and Lugansk regions separated) Ukraine didn't even make the top 20 - the list of the top 15 raw food exporters for that year was EU, USA, Brazil, China, Canada, Argentina, India, Indonesia, Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Vietnam, and Russia (in order from largest exporter to smallest in the top 15). Source: World Trade Organization unprocessed food export report released November 2015.
The whole ''nuclear capability'' thing is kinda silly. Every single missile larger then an ATGM either can carry a nuke warhead, or can be adapted to carry one in a matter of days.
But only few countries can make compact nukes. edit: I seriously doubt NK even has a nuke. No one actually ever see those and there is few things what can be mistaken with the test.

Which is sad. Ukraine is as much a part of Russia as Pennsylvania is of the US and people just want to give it back to the Germans because they think they'll make a buck.😢
That war has to end . No one wants it escalate, the Russians can escalate. How many hundreds of billions have we sent? .... the country that is trillions in debt and has a worst public transportation system than Ukraine . Ukraine could be rebuilding right now with money from the European and us. They have enough weapons to permanently secure its new borders. Wishful thinking is nice but in reality, that buildup money might no longer be available in 2y
The USSR depended heavily on Ukraine's technological and industrial base. They also have long experience with nuclear technology. Putting together a breeder reactor for plutonium production is easily within their capabilities. If I were in their situation, I already would have.
If they have not, it is merely because they still hope to avid that route, but if they need one it would not take long. Months maybe. The missiles are actually harder than the nukes, if you have plutonium you can build a perfectly functional bomb up to ten times the size of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki weapons in any decent machine shop. It aint that hard, its all ww2 technology, you don't even need electronics of any kind, just shaped charge explosives and two pieces of subcritical material that add up ton one piece of critical material. slap em together hard and you get a big big boom. Hell, high school kids have successfully built working bombs, everything but the plutonium, on several occasions. Nukes ain't hard, if you have the fissile material, and Ukraine has lots of fissile material.
All documentation on nuclear technology in the USSR was in Russian. But the Uki-Nazi abolished the Russian language. Now they can't read this documentation. Lol.
@@Ozone077 Their president speaks Russian and half of Kyiv, but you wouldn't know that since you only consume Putin's propaganda. And russians are the new nazis. Just look at their propagandists on tv talking about burning ukrainian babies.
Is this cheaper than 1000lb bombs deliveeed by aircraft? Ukraine needs the most cost effective stuff to ensure they have as much of it as possible compared to effect on targets
Ukraine doesn’t have enough aircraft and they can’t manufacture their own aircraft/weaponry. They also don’t have the air superiority necessary to use bombs. Missiles are the obvious choice as they are comparatively simpler and harder to intercept
My rule for pronouncing foreign words with crazy-seeming clusters at the beginning: If you can't pronounce the cluster, just drop the ones in the front. So instead of "Hrim", go with "Rim" and you'll get more in the ballpark.
After the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine held the 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world. However, Ukraine agreed to relinquish these nuclear weapons in exchange for security assurances from the UK, US, and Russia under the Budapest Memorandum.
Glad that you mentioned this. I feel that everybody on the whole world has forgotten this agreement from 1994! Amazing how Russia forgot everything they promised to Ukraine. Shame on them.
I don't think the USA understands the Ukrainian spirit. They are an amazing people, bright, strong and deadly. They are the best friends you can have. Ask any Canadian, they are our neighbors, relatives and friends. When the war broke out, we knew that ruSSia would be in for a shock. Slava Ukraini !
Most corrupt county and government on earth btw. I think the Americans are very familiar with tgat. What great people. I am sick of the government sending my money there to be stolen
I’m Ukrainian-Canadian/American and I remember telling people “You have no idea how strong the Ukrainian spirit is!” in 2022. Even as a 3rd generation North American Ukrainian, I knew that rossia was going to regret their decision. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦
Yep, proud Canadian support or Ukraine. I have known many Ukrainian Canadians, and they are just the kind f people that you see in Ukraine today. Brave, hard working, nd they fucking hate russian bullies.
I've seen the Palianytsia being ground launched via a runway/roadway, but I have to wonder if it is something they will also consider adapting to be able to launch from an aircraft. That would allow it to carry a larger payload while no longer needing fuel required to get airborne, and it would therefore only need fuel to maintain flight, and it would have more range. I"m sure they're at least considering it, or else they are working on a modified version, to fit onto aircraft launch platforms, now that they have been able to confirm how well it works. And there have been reports that they've been using modified Neptune missiles for some recent long range precision strikes.
Come back after the election and read your comment again. Ukraine is in ruin because of a comedian who listen to the lies from hypocrite America and EU countries. To be enemy of America is dangerous, to be friend is fatal. Germany and Ukraine were friend and they are now in dire situation.
When there’s a mushroom cloud in Moscow you might not want to look outside a window in your city because the sun might suddenly shine in the middle of the night
When you analyse videos from the ukrainian theater of (successful) russian strikes on high value targets with Iskandr-Missiles, they actually can hit quite precise in the 5m range. (= we have video evidence) I think based on the observation the cited CEP for Iskandr is really outdated.
Your pronunciation of the Ukrainian toponyms and terminology got much better! Thanks for investing time in that. Kudos. P.S. Hrim 2 pronounced close to the English word "grim" like grim reaper. With softer g sound.

Im not surprised the russian space launch program was based in Ukraine .Now they need to test it on Russian troops . And see if they leave on their own.
Yeah I'm not sure where people get this, the US education system is really a letdown. The Soviet and later Russian space program was led primarily by design bureaus in Korolev (ethnic Belarussian from Ukrainian SPR), Kerimov (Azerbaijani), Keldysh (Russian), Yangel (Russian), Glushko (Russian), Chelomei (Russian), Makeyev (Russian), and Chertok (Polish). Early engineers included Tikhonravov (Russian), Dushkin (Russian), and Vetchinkin (Russian-Polish) in early designs. Additional development in related technologies were headed by Isaev (Russian), Voskresenky (Russian), Pilyugin (Russian), and Chelmoey (Ukrainian). There were several offices for the space program design bureaus (OKB) with the primary being based in Leningrad and Korolyov in Russia. There was a design bureau in Kiev, and of course one in Dnepropetrovsk, that focused on design of the ballistic missile rockets with dual use for satellite launches, but had little to do with the manned space missions beyond the general knowledge in rocket technology they contributed. The spaceports were and still are located in Plesetsk and Baikonur in Russia and Kazakhstan respectively.
10:09 Actually Hrim-2 was limited to 500km on purpose due to some treaty Ukraine signed in 2000s. But now that we are under attack we can calibrate the missiles to a possible of 900 some even discussed a 1,000km
You would be surprised how many anti-imperialists deny that something was not done by Imperial Russia alone. When guy who hang flag on Reichstag was also Ukrainian, assisted by Uzbek and Kazakh.

@heyhoe168 Comparing the nation of Afghanistan to Ukraine is like comparing apples to grapes. One is a homogeneous entity under one national flag weather you like it or not the DNR and DPR are fake countries made by the Russian state to destabilize Ukraine, and the other is a disunited shitshow with many different tribes with very different ideas on who should own what. The Taliban were part of the Mujahideen but later split off due to disagreements with other Mujahideen.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise. Privdenne in Dnipro were building ICBMs since the 1960s. It’s quite possible they got the solid fuel technology from a western company

I worked way out in the middle of nowhere in the Canadian oilfield and took a cheap thermal/NV spotting scope thing with me since we stayed on site in the middle of the woods. I got made fun of it by quite a few people, but really everyone who hadn’t used one enjoyed trying it, and it actually ended up coming in handy since we had bears, mountain lions, and moose in the area regularly. One night I noticed a vac truck hotter than I’d ever seen (instead of the engine and exhausts being the hottest spots, the whole front of the truck seemed really hot, even the glass) and asked the operator who was busy working if he’d noticed, or if it was meant to be that hot? It wasn’t. That camera saved his truck at the very least, but potentially saved us all on site from something much worse going wrong.
I really appreciate how informative and entertaining you make your videos. No monotone boring voice explaining things.
A lot of people do not realize Ukraine was the technology hub of the USSR everything went through the Ukraine and they are built different in the Ukraine very intelligent people
Partially true. Most production facilities were in Ukraine and were designed there, BUT almost all chief engineers/designers were either born in todays russian oblasts and got their education in moscow by russians. Almost all ukrainians that are involved in any new military inventions (tanks, engines, arms) got their education in moscow too, by russians. Even if you dig more into the topic you will find out that even many of the ukrainian engineers that participated in someway are actually russians, because their parents originated from Russia and they were only born in Ukraine. This was quite often the case since most production facilities were in Ukraine and their parents had to move from Russia to Ukraine. These young men went back to study in Moscow and returned as engineers back to Ukraine. Basically everything i wrote is easily to find in google after a little bit of googling and looking up some wikipedia articles.

Hrim (Грім): Ukrainian for “thunder” transcribed into latin letters
Grom (Гром): Russian for “thunder” transcribed into Latin letters
Ukrainian “Г” has a “gh” sound, like “Galicia”, so the pronunciation is like “ghrim”.
edit: g -> gh
huh they both start with a “Г” or is the alphabeth different between ukraine and russia? But cool background info, thx!
And (as usually) Russians killed ukrainians for the audacity to use ґ... It was a cultural fight and eastern ukrainians where forced to use Г.
Ukrainian word is pronounced ɦrʲim (IPA). First sound is more like H than G. Ukrainian uses Ґ (not Г) to represent the uncommon-in-Ukrainian G sound.

Hi, you're slightly incorrect about Tochka-U numbers before 2022. There was a program for repair and change solid rocket fuel in late 2010-s for a number of missile types, primarily air-defense but also some Tochka-U have been put back in action. At least a few hundreds where available by the beginning of 2022, but of course they were used up very quickly. Most troubles gave an old 6-wheeled chassis, no longer produced in Ukraine and parts hard to come by, so there was only 10 to 20 operational launchers available by 2022. This was stated in interview with volunteers helping to fund this renovation program just before full scale invasion.

It's not considering Ukraine no longer owns pretty much any of the so called bread basket of Europe. It's been sold off for weapons and black rock bought it.

Government paper-pushers determining on a tactical level where strikes are allowed or disallowed... It reminds me of how bombing missions were planned in Vietnam in order to not upset the Soviets/Russians. And that didn't turn up well.
Needing an approval to launch by United States is a ridiculous constraint to place on Ukraine. They have to be able to use all weapons we give them however they want to.
Its also a bad move long term for the US arms industry. Anybody purchasing US made weapons now has to recognize and account for any possible restrictions the US may put on their purchase.

I'm not sure what's surprising about such project - rather lack of it would be more surprising! The legacy of Soviet-era missile projects you've mentioned was what's enabled Ukrainian industry to produce rockets for bringing civilian cargoes to orbit - namely, Soviet era Cyclone series (which itself was a derivative of R-36 ICBM, courtesy of the very same Pivdenmash), and post-Soviet Zenith series.
Both cargo capacity was in TONNES, bro - and meant to achieve velocities necessary for staying on orbit. Going back to making ballistic (i.e. sub-orbital) missiles that were meant to fall back would really seem like a downgrade at this point ;)

Hey brother, I really love your delivery. I balance my intake of news and history entertainment with you and the fat electrician. I really do appreciate everything you and all the people there working with you do!
You go with you got.
Even developing and being able to test ICBM's while in a war is extraordinary imo. Putin must surely be confused, all those hypersonic missile strikes on civilians did nothing to stop actual development of weapons!
The Russians learned early on that they simply cannot hit defended targets. The russian missiles are a joke for anything like even vaguely modern air defences. So the Ukrainians have protected their most critical things, and then Russia just started killing civilians instead. That's why the Ukrainians are basically winning the war, Russia can't kill the whole population even though they would love to genocide Ukraine, and they can't prevent the Ukrainians from hitting russian economic assets (oil stuff) and russian logistics (ammunition dumps, fuel, etc).
Because the Russian offensive capacity does not have the ability to hit defended targets, all they have left is meat waves and targeting civilian homes and hospitals and other civilian stuff. So Russia is losing their military equipment, while Ukraine is sacrificing some civilian lives. Thing is, tragic as the math is, russia will run out of military capability a long long time before Ukraine will rn out of people or land to slowly retreat to.
Russia target electricity and civilians.
Do you not know that the Russians control 25 percent of Ukraine and that land is never coming back. Why would Russians use expensive hypersonic missiles on civilians. You need to start making sense.
Homemade is great!

Any ballistic missile can carry a nuke. In the 1950s the USA made nukes small enough to be fired by artillery.
Hell, there was theDavy Crockett nuclear weapon, pretty much a cross between and RPG and a mortar. Carried by three soldiers, it was tactical nuke you could hide in a suitcase and deploy in 30 seconds. I wouldn't want to fire it without some really good cover to get into right afterwards, though. Look it up, it's hilarious.
With a damage radius larger than the range
@@harryhan2525 Well, more like almost as big as the range. But yeah, still kind of silly to think the soldiers would actually fire the damned thing in anything but an already hopeless situation....which is kinda dumb for a tactical weapon, lol.
Uh they still exist. Not the Davy crockcrap thing. But actual artillery, mind it's tiny, just a 155mm. Burst radius is not nearly as great as the range. The 8" version had more range and a bigger bang. Special weapons aren't just for the marines Uber or the chair force.
Dude, I watched his speech when he talked about nukes and NATO and when he tried to explain what he said. He didn't say he wanted nukes or that they weren't ruling them out.

Ukraine is one of those nations fully capable of building nukes. Much of that engineering during the Soviet Era was done in Ukraine.
nobody wants people building nukes .. the world should be encouraging countries never to build them ... deterrent or not ...lets say ukraine had them when putin attacked ? there could be a nuclear war in europe . did that cross your mind at all ?
They don't have the infrastructure to produce nukes and no country would allow them to even if they did.
Worth remembering ukraine used to make orbital class rockets too. They def have the industrial know how. A ballistic missile is basically a toy sized version of one.

Zelensky clearly stated that Ukraine does not want nuclear weapons. They want to join NATO. He stated this with BATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at NATO HQ in Brussels.
Yep. He has said, as has Poland, that Ukraine would be willing to allow NATO to reply nukes in Ukraine to defend NATO in the case of war.
Those that know their history know that the industrial heartbeat that basically made the CCCP what it was, was founded mostly in Ukraine. One reason Pootin wants Ukraine so bad.
Pootin Ruzzia is only really good at producing timber; ( axe - horse and cart and there you go Igor! ) they may be rich in oil deposits, but like other countries , they NEED outside 'western help' when it comes to oil extraction and refinement.
Venezuela is also rich in oil, but they also lack the know-how when it comes to oil extraction and refinement. Money in the ground that can not be turned to a usable disposable liquid asset.
"oh no, my nuke missed by 100 meters" said no one ever. (and not just because no one ever launched a nuke)
US has "launched" two out of the bomb doors of Super fortresses, and at least one exo-atmospheric test has been conducted, and they sure did not build a test tower that high.

Excellent work
Ukraine's President didn't say they want nukes, nor that they would consider building them. He did say that they gave the Soviet ones they had back to Russia with the agreement that the US and Russia would respect Ukraine's independence. He said Ukraine wants to become a NATO member, not Nukes.

If they have not, it is merely because they still hope to avid that route, but if they need one it would not take long. Months maybe. The missiles are actually harder than the nukes, if you have plutonium you can build a perfectly functional bomb up to ten times the size of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki weapons in any decent machine shop. It aint that hard, its all ww2 technology, you don't even need electronics of any kind, just shaped charge explosives and two pieces of subcritical material that add up ton one piece of critical material. slap em together hard and you get a big big boom.

Ukraine went to a Museum and found plans to build a ‘modern’ Russian missile
My rule for pronouncing foreign words with crazy-seeming clusters at the beginning: If you can't pronounce the cluster, just drop the ones in the front. So instead of "Hrim", go with "Rim" and you'll get more in the ballpark.
in ukrainian all letters are pronounced. not like french or english with silent letters . except for 1 symbol that softens the sound.
@@ronblack7870 Yes, you are correct. But this has nothing to do with people who are unable to pronounce the cluster.
This team-up is pure gold!
Rajesh? That you?.. 😅
After the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine held the 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world. However, Ukraine agreed to relinquish these nuclear weapons in exchange for security assurances from the UK, US, and Russia under the Budapest Memorandum.
Glad that you mentioned this. I feel that everybody on the whole world has forgotten this agreement from 1994! Amazing how Russia forgot everything they promised to Ukraine. Shame on them.
I don't think the USA understands the Ukrainian spirit. They are an amazing people, bright, strong and deadly. They are the best friends you can have. Ask any Canadian, they are our neighbors, relatives and friends. When the war broke out, we knew that ruSSia would be in for a shock. Slava Ukraini !
Most corrupt county and government on earth btw. I think the Americans are very familiar with tgat. What great people. I am sick of the government sending my money there to be stolen
I’m Ukrainian-Canadian/American and I remember telling people “You have no idea how strong the Ukrainian spirit is!” in 2022. Even as a 3rd generation North American Ukrainian, I knew that rossia was going to regret their decision. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦
Your a loser

Yep, proud Canadian support or Ukraine. I have known many Ukrainian Canadians, and they are just the kind f people that you see in Ukraine today. Brave, hard working, nd they fucking hate russian bullies.
I've seen the Palianytsia being ground launched via a runway/roadway, but I have to wonder if it is something they will also consider adapting to be able to launch from an aircraft. That would allow it to carry a larger payload while no longer needing fuel required to get airborne, and it would therefore only need fuel to maintain flight, and it would have more range. I"m sure they're at least considering it, or else they are working on a modified version, to fit onto aircraft launch platforms, now that they have been able to confirm how well it works. And there have been reports that they've been using modified Neptune missiles for some recent long range precision strikes.
Thanks, good info
American, 100% trust and support Ukraine. Russia could pack up and go home any day if they wanted this to be over.
Come back after the election and read your comment again.
Ukraine is in ruin because of a comedian who listen to the lies from hypocrite America and EU countries.
To be enemy of America is dangerous, to be friend is fatal.
Germany and Ukraine were friend and they are now in dire situation.
I like your optimism! If you go there and fight they might win!
Well, how difficult can building a ballistic missile actually be, if Iran and North Korea can do it…
Ukrain already has the blue print
yo8u make a fantastic point
@@anyaehiegbujo they had their own. maybe they took notes before giving them up
They had to devote years and a huge portion of their entire countries resources to doing so
Considering Ukraine built most of the USSR's jet engines, not very hard at all.
Am I the only one who is sitting back and seeing a mushroom cloud over Moscow in my mind?
We all have a dream)
If that happens the world will burn
U should get of mushroom's
@@tint7901 I haven't done mushrooms in years
When there’s a mushroom cloud in Moscow you might not want to look outside a window in your city because the sun might suddenly shine in the middle of the night
Thanks Chris
When you analyse videos from the ukrainian theater of (successful) russian strikes on high value targets with Iskandr-Missiles, they actually can hit quite precise in the 5m range.
(= we have video evidence) I think based on the observation the cited CEP for Iskandr is really outdated.
Go get ‘em!!
anything's nuclear-capable if you're brave enough
Even a strudel?
@@budgiefriend Especially a strudel
@@Knight_Kinthat last strudel at the Quality Inn free breakfast was a weapon of mass destruction on my GIT.

I would imagine this “domestic” rocket is packed full of Rheinmetall, Motorola, Bosch and IBM components.
As is Russia's...
I sure as shit hope so
Everyone buys and sells to each other now. Isolationist nations look like north Korea.
You forgot RTX and Rafale.
@@budgiefriend no joke
Russian drones use cannon cameras
Taiwanese chips were found in every semi modern russian missile
Your pronunciation of the Ukrainian toponyms and terminology got much better! Thanks for investing time in that. Kudos.
P.S. Hrim 2 pronounced close to the English word "grim" like grim reaper. With softer g sound.
Hey Chris, you should tell us Euro-viewers the Merch ships from Spain, my "Shoot to Chill" tee arrived in double time and for a mere pittance in postage. I shall be buying again!
Ukraine was the silicon valley of soviet union!
🇹🇼 IS the Silicon Valley of East Asia 💯👀 🌏
more like Silicone Steppes😂
🇹🇼 is the Silicone Valley of Asia 🌏
It's actually Eastern Deutschland and Estonia for those. But heavy industrial base of Soviet Union does root from Ukraine.
Ukraine was the power house of technology in Soviet Union.
Ukraine is a ruined country run by a comedian.
Im not surprised the russian space launch program was based in Ukraine .Now they need to test it on Russian troops . And see if they leave on their own.
Baikonur is in Kazakhstan, no?
Yeah I'm not sure where people get this, the US education system is really a letdown. The Soviet and later Russian space program was led primarily by design bureaus in Korolev (ethnic Belarussian from Ukrainian SPR), Kerimov (Azerbaijani), Keldysh (Russian), Yangel (Russian), Glushko (Russian), Chelomei (Russian), Makeyev (Russian), and Chertok (Polish). Early engineers included Tikhonravov (Russian), Dushkin (Russian), and Vetchinkin (Russian-Polish) in early designs.
Additional development in related technologies were headed by Isaev (Russian), Voskresenky (Russian), Pilyugin (Russian), and Chelmoey (Ukrainian).
There were several offices for the space program design bureaus (OKB) with the primary being based in Leningrad and Korolyov in Russia. There was a design bureau in Kiev, and of course one in Dnepropetrovsk, that focused on design of the ballistic missile rockets with dual use for satellite launches, but had little to do with the manned space missions beyond the general knowledge in rocket technology they contributed.
The spaceports were and still are located in Plesetsk and Baikonur in Russia and Kazakhstan respectively.
10:09 Actually Hrim-2 was limited to 500km on purpose due to some treaty Ukraine signed in 2000s. But now that we are under attack we can calibrate the missiles to a possible of 900 some even discussed a 1,000km
I suggest an arrow indicating north on the map that appears ar 18:25. It presents a tighter viewpoint and helps us compass folks keep our bearing.
Surprise surprise Ukraine was the brain of the USSR back in the day.
You would be surprised how many anti-imperialists deny that something was not done by Imperial Russia alone. When guy who hang flag on Reichstag was also Ukrainian, assisted by Uzbek and Kazakh.
yeaaah, suuuure ))
Partially true. Most production facilities were in Ukraine and were designed there, BUT almost all chief engineers/designers were either born in todays russian oblasts and got their education in moscow by russians. Almost all ukrainians that are involved in any new military inventions (tanks, engines, arms) got their education in moscow too, by russians. Even if you dig more into the topic you will find out that even many of the ukrainian engineers that participated in someway are actually russians, because their parents originated from Russia and they were only born in Ukraine. This was quite often the case since most production facilities were in Ukraine and their parents had to move from Russia to Ukraine. These young men went back to study in Moscow and returned as engineers back to Ukraine. Basically everything i wrote is easily to find in google after a little bit of googling and looking up some wikipedia articles.
Greetings from Croatia
@@poat3453 Is a discovery by an Indian scientist British if they were educated in Oxford? No. So why would the discoveries of a Ukrainian educated in Russia be Russian?
Oh no, they wouldn't dare use a Ukrainian designed and built ballistic missile inside Russia! Why, that might cause an escalation!
