- Why Russia's Invasion into Ukraine Failed on Arrival | Battle Board | Daily Mail
Putin planned to to take over Hostemel Airport, from there land troops and then capture or kill the Ukrainian government. The invasion was supposed to take days. Here is every manoeuvre that saved Ukraine from immediate Russian control.
The Daily Mail's foreign correspondent Chris Pleasance takes over The Battle Board to explain the tactics and breakdown exactly what happened in the earliest hours of the full-scale Russian invasion.

nice video
I majored in military history and this is so will done and informative , that I am sure anyone watching will find it as exciting as it is educational !
Ukraine got played
YES
I live in 17 kilometers from Hostomel airport. I've heard bombs that were being dropped on the runway to damage it, and I knew that those were our planes - they were flying above my house in Kyiv.
Those blasts were different from that I've experienced days later: MLRS and artillery fire are very different from air bombs. When air bomb drops - ground shakes (slightly, but you still feel it) even in 17 km afar from the place of impact.
Those 200 men are the reason I am still alive, and we are still having our country independent.
I am in the USA, along with the overwhelming majority of Americans my heart is with Ukraine every day.
It has been dominated by the US since the coup in 2014 and sold for > 25% ( mining/agriculture) to big foreign companies. Ukraine has been used as a proxystate for geopolitical reasons.

I'm a Canadian English teacher and I was in Kyiv on February 24, 2022 when the Russians invaded. In fact, I was sleeping in my flat in Pozniaky when I heard the echo of two distant explosions and immediately realized these were not common sounds in the city. Thus began my three day odyssey to get to the border of Poland, which I later walked across after hitch-hiking 373 KM from a small villiage in Zhytomyr Oblast to the city of Lviv. In Kyiv, Rivne and Lviv I heard air raid sirens and following distant explosions of missiles hitting military instillations. My nerves were on end worrying about a missile heading into one of the cities while I was in them. There are just too many impressions on the first day of the invasion to go into detail about but generally it was, unsurprisingly, awful and the worst day of my life. It wasn't until I accepted that I may die and decided I had to try for the border that I got a second wind and felt a peculiar calm, a kind of inner peace. I would be remise if I did not mention the unbelievably kind genrosity of my current of former students who provided me shelter, food and guidance on my way to the border. Without Ukrainians my journey would have been far more precarious.

Thanks for sharing this. What a unique perspective & set of circumstances you experienced. I couldn't imagine visiting a country when all of a sudden Russia unexpectedly invaded it. I'm glad Ukraine has such amazing individuals & they helped you achieve the goal of reaching the border. I so badly wish this war was not still going on for 3 yrs now. I wish my country of America was Way more focused on doing whatever it takes to allow & help Ukraine defend themselves from Russia's Depraved Atrocities
Why not just get a plane or train like so many of the Ukrainians that I met in factories here in the UK? Ukraine had a scheme to make sure foreign nationals could leave the country safely. Plenty of news articles from 2022 showing foreigners leaving via train and plane.
You should write about your story in a blog or book. Very valuable first hand account

Using the same plan over and over again will not leave the enemy guessing.

@@filipposaracchini1976 thx
Some points that are a bit understated:
1) the russian missile barrage supposed to remove all air defenses and most army barracks in the Kiev area mostly missed due to the precision of the missiles being substantially lower than originally claimed.
2) the soldiers of the reinforcement column in Belarus were not told about the invasion of Ukraine till the very day of the invasion, it was common practice for russians soldiers to sell the spare fuel to locals after sny training in Belarus. So some tanks had just enough fuel to go back over the border in Russia as a lot of the spare fuel was sold (informally) to Belarusian locals. Those tanks got stuck on the way to Kiev because nobody wanted to admit selling the fuel.
3) some trucks and anti air systems of the russian military used chinese made tires as replacement from Michelin tires which could no longer be purchased due to the 2014 sanctions. Those off road military veichles and anti air systems use a variable pressure mechanism in the tire that allow the veichle to reduce tire air pressure while going off road for better traction. However the Chinese tires were not well designed to support this system and some literally came off the rims further causing traffic jams.
4) because the russians knew their communication systems were likely hacked or compromised by the Americans a lot of the orders were given with papers making it quite hard to change the plan on the go without risking the Ukrainian knowing all their plans as the Americans trained the Ukrainian comms teams.
So when thry had to give new commands many of them were intercepted and decoded or rhey left various units without orders as the plan changed.
4) the supply line towards Kiev was flooded by the Ukrainian opening dams causing s lot of traffic jams. This combined with mechanical failures, tires coming off trucks, occasional Ukrainian harassment from the sides of the supply columns causing broken veichles on the road and quickly rising demands for more equipment and soldiers at the front caused a near total blockage of the supply lines towards Kiev.
It got so bad that while the soldiers were urgently waiting for supplies and equipment at the front many trucks had to wait for several days for the traffic jams and it was February so thr truckers had to keep the engine running not to freeze. Many trucks ran out of fuel doing so or didn't have enough fuel to make their way back. So a substantial amount of thr fuel that was allocated to the fighting veichles was instead used to refuel the trucks halfway and overall the Russians could only supply enough equipment for a few tens of thousands of soldiers and no more slong those supply lines.
5) Ukraine opened up the weapons warehouses in Kiev to anyone that wanted to fight creating effectively hundred thousand new conscript in a couple of days while the Russians were still stuck in their traffic jams. By the time the supply situation was getting better for the Russians they were going to have to take a capital City that had time to build barricades and had 5 to 10 times more soldiers and armed civilians than the russians had attacking troops in that specific point.
And due to the supply constraints increasing the number of Russian troops substantially was impossible.
So those Russian soldiers, as experienced rhey could be, would have had to fight city block to city block vastly outnumbered against an entrenched opponent and surrounded by angry civilians.
A mess that was not possible to solve. Also the Ukrainian were becoming more active in attacking the supply lines with anti tank weapons further limiting supply and exposing the risk of the front line troops being cut off from the supply lines.
6)the failed missiles strike at the beginning meant that Ukraine still had some anti air capabilities and some air force left. Because of this the russians could not simply tske advantage of air supremacy without risking to lose many planes in the process. Also russian anti air troops didn't expect to see Ukrainian planes and either didn't fire at them or fired too much targeting slso russian planes jn the confusion as both sides use similar models.
All of this together with what was shown in the video made the conquest of Kiev impossible and forced the Russians to try to pull back and negotiate a political solution instead which also didn't work as the Russian demands were much more thsn Ukraine wanted to accept.
Thanks for elaborating on this. Excellent details!

I am sory but it seems not true to me - Scott Ritter, Colonel Douglas Mc Greggor, judge Napolitano, Brian berletic and so many others ( also former high ranking) CIA intelligence officers have a totally different opinion about the situation.

@@Stratigoz its not propaganda when claims are actually backed by evidence. RU just says stuff over and over as loud as they can until 🤡believe it.
@@Stratigoz There are two types of propaganda, one that is actually true, and one that are blatant lies
Czech here, I lived through Operation Danube as a kid. The first plane that landed at Prague airport was a special forces plane that took over the tower and the next plane that landed was a special flight controller plane that would serve as a control tower.
The other point is that Russia and Warsaw pact troops numbered some 800,000.
Which is over 4x more than what Russia used in Ukraine on a country with a quarter the population and maybe a fifth of the size.
They were incompetent then too, I recall they drank polluted river water and had to be hospitalized.
My dad was in the main army base in the southwest (Tabor)
They had been given orders to go out on manouevres but the intention was that the Russian troops would occupy the bases. This order was countermanded and they stayed put. But given the overwhelming size of the invading force and no hope of help from the west the Czechs had no chance.
I remember even then Russian soldiers did not know how to use flush toilets, and would often be seen wearing multiple watches on their arms (that they stole from civilians).
The other thing is, while the Czech politburo was flown to Moscow where they tried to force Dubček and the others to agree to the invasion the because no one listened to the the puppet leaders Russia installed. But Brezhnev told Dubček a million Soviet soldiers died liberating Czechoslovakia in WW2, they would hold on if it meant ww3.
That first plane requested emergency landing, they reported some mechanical problems with the plane. And it was a lie, like everything, that russians say.
You recall ah yes the dusty memories of some guy on the internet if this little story is even true in the first place
Copying the ww2 story of the soldier that raised the flag with the wristwatches even now that is super pathetic on your part mate

Excellent tactical debriefing, explains very much how and why Ukraine held out against the invaders.
The only reason why the Russian plan failed is because British intelligence warned Ukraine about all the details of the plan. From the first day of the war until today, all American and British intelligence has been working in alliance with the Ukrainian army.
Lebanese used the same technique as the Ukrainians when the Israelis invaded them in 2006. The Israeli casualties, just like the Russian casualties, skyrocketed and they had to retreat.

PICKING A FIGHT WITH A NEIGHBOR WHO IS YOUR SIBLING THAT KNOWS HOW YOU THINK IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.
Russia has been invading Ukraine for 800 years non stop. They only have one advantage: crazy big numbers. The reason Ukrainians learned to fight in the odds of 1:10 is because they HAD to adapt throughout history.
Then why did ukriane pick a fight with russia ?
this video is nonsense. There was not suppose to be much fighting at all. Multiple Ukrainian commanders were bribed/worked as double agents so that RU army could just drive in, possibly kill/empoison Zelensky and declare whatever they wanted. It worked to a degree. The initial success that was multiple times more impressive than US Iraq invasion was almost all due to treason. I mean there were even minefields removed day before the invasion un UA side- imagine that amount of bribery/agent infiltration to the top of the command in UA.

Both these countries weren't backed, trained and prepared for a war with the US for ELEVEN years by the whole collective west. Both countries didn't have ELEVEN years time to entrench and fortify their cities, stop clowning.
@meuko Iraq and ukraine are a stupid comparison.
My personal opinion is around 300kia in total, on both sides.
Nato training was largely based on insurgents trying to fight a government turnover in kyiv. Or an escalation in the donbass. Not russias wet fart of the opening weeks.
@@missesyourjokes i wasn’t the person initially comparing the two, and who are you kidding, NATO was full aware of a potential escalation with Russia, explains the full fortification of all cities Russia would face taking their areas of interest.

On the other hand the Russian elite VDV was riped to pieces in the battle for Hostomel and other places in the north by the Ukranian armed forces.
Belarus does not get enough attention for its role in this illegal invasion.
Every invasion is illegal to someone
Yes it does. As Iran and North Korea do as well, by providing drones, ammo and other kind of help. And let's not forget China and India, the first providing not only economic and technological support, but also being behind them in the diplomacy efforts, while the second never stopped buying oil and gas from Russia, effectively giving them money and hence making the sanctions less strong. But The West won't forget any of this.
@@mrblaoblao6981nobody is forgetting or forgiving the role of the modern day carpetbaggers east or west
It was widely noted that Belarus allowed the Russians to attack from there. Ukraine could have taken that as Belarus joining the war. It is just that Ukraine does not need another front, so they did not attack Belarus.

Great pilot episode. Can't get enough of this decisive battle and it shows how much every Ukrainian is against the idea of joining Russia. Hostomel will be remembered for generations as the moment Putin (already) lost the war.

Donbass fought for 7 years before Russia came to his aid.
The question of whether the Abrams has a place on modern battlefields or not is kind of a silly question. The equipment means nothing if the doctrine is not sound. The way the US army uses the Abrams is totally different from how Ukraine can use them.
The models they got didn't have any real way to fend off drones but they at least would make sure the crew survived unlike the Russian tanks.
The U.S. can count on having more than 12 units in a given location.
You haven't a clue what you are talking about. The US army has never ever been in such a sustained, attritive, face to face conflict with a peer army. Lets face it, the modern US army has only encountered small and relatively weak countries without anything close to a comparable fighting force.

"Never was so much owed by so many to so few" Was a quote Winston Churchill used to thank the air defenders of britain publicly for their valiant battle against the german Luftwaffe in WW2, preventing the invasion of England by the Nazis.
This quote can be used for the battle of Hostomel. Because the entirety of the Ukranian state owes its peristant existance to these 200 conscripts, essentially pencil pushers and military firefighters. These brave 200 saved their country on this day and they marked the beginning of so many countless valiant efforts done by the armed forces of Ukraine since then.
A country *nobody* on this planed deemed capable of sustaining itself for just 3 days against Russia is not only still in the ring, but actively throwing punches way above its weight class. The urkainian armys morale is still really high and their efforts seem like Russia wont make any significant gains in the near future either.
To me, Ukraine has already won tenfold and anybody criticising their progress in certain areas should always keep in mind, that Ukraine was never expected to be so tough of a challenge to begin with.
Everybody expected Russia to be able to steamroll half of europe with ease. Now Russia is not even capable of holding its own borders against an enemy they still refuse to call anything but a nuisance. Their complete denial of the reality will be their downfall and as far as it goes I think the Ukraine war may have already demaged Russias capability to wage large scale wars for the next one or two decades, wich is a great success for the West but if it goes even further we may even see a collapse and economic crisis inside Russia that will incapacitate them for even longer.

Thanks for this episode, overall it seems accurate. But please don't use "putins soldiers", "putin invaded" etc. It's russian soldiers, it's russinan army which is led by putin, and ordinary russians supports that war and ordinary russians killing Ukrainians with rifles, artillery, cruise and ballistic missiles, even if putin will be gone - they need to be responsible for that, because they supported him, loved when he annexed crimea, and love that "they taking they land back", so please do not use prefix "putins" anymore, it makes other people think that there are 1 million putins in Ukraine who is killing us, there 1 million russians who killing Ukrainians for money, or imperialistic ambitions or something else.
Well prepared Documentary!! Loved it!!
This video may give the impression than an air assault to seize airfield for follow on forces is exclusively a Soviet/Russian tactic, when it is certainly not. It's a common opening move for any army that has air mobility.
The US does it much differently with pre-planned fires, Destruction and suppression of enemy air defense, gunships, Precision-guided Munitions, And done under the cover of night with night vision devices used by all participants.
These are all things Russia lacks the capability to employ, nor do they train that way. They're stuck in a 1970s airmobile airfield seizure strategy, but they really believed it would be relatively effortless for them.

the plan became little longer and painful for the dishonored recipient.
Excellent! That’s have more of this format. Love it.
If it’s failed, time to send some money back to the states for Veterans, elderly, and children who can use those funds for programs..
Educational
Bravo 🎉 very well explain ✌🏻🇺🇦✌🏻🇺🇦✌🏻🇺🇦
Absolutely incredible.
Imagine coming up with this headline during the complete collapse of the front lines in the Donbass.
How many centimeters are they advancing per day now?
Zelensky will forever be remembered as a hero when he forswore a ride over ammunition; Putin will forever be remembered as a coward who took the ride instead of staying for the fight.🤷
The big question is, why did Biden offer Zelensky the ride in the first place, after his son worked for a company run and owned by Russian separatists?
Putin fled TWICE, once from his own commander, and a second time when he THOUGHT there was a Ukrainian drone nearby.
This is gold Jerry.
Pure gold ! 🐈⬛
slava Ukraini!
Heroyam slava!
Heroyam slava
Slava Urini!
Weird timing when the frontline is literally collapsing as we speak
Is it? I mean, Ukraine lost a decent amount of territory but is no where close to total defeat+ its still occupying a decent amount of russian land, decent for a a country that is much smaller than russia that is.
Collapsing means 1945 germany, retreat on all fronts, end of the current goverment is imminent. You can make a personal prediction that the front will collaps soon but all things considered the ukrainian army is still coordinated end effective in its opperations, at least for now.
@@vegemarkr4582 what Russian land? Stop watching CNN. The Ukrainian are getting pushed back from the territory they captured in Kursk
@@ikmal017they've literally broken out even further west into Kursk though?
@@LoveHammerMan no they didn't?
@@ikmal017 Yes...they literally have?🤨
So they bombarded the airfield too soon, right?
If these few troops there didn't have entered alert. Everything would have been much slower for Ukraine,
This was very well done thank you 😊
Unbelievable production on this video. The map, the visuals, the speaker, all top-notch. Had goosebumps throughout it all. Can't wait to see more of Battle Board.
excellent production, zero knowledge added.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
The news is very detailedly. Thank you.
"News"? Lol.
2 years too late... Any news on Kursk?
Excellent
Thanks!
oh yeah, famous last words: Russians gonna run out of shovel by end of 2022.
then by end of 2024 west be like: why do i hear boss music, i thought they run out of shovels
Britain knew Russia was going to invade, they waited several days after the finish of the winter Olympics in China,they had prepared with the Ukrainians a battle plan and tactics, and it worked better than even they thought it would?
Western intelligence, including the UK's, did anticipate Russia's invasion and warned about it before it happened. Russia likely delayed the invasion until after the Winter Olympics out of respect for China. While the UK and other countries provided intelligence and military aid to Ukraine, there is no clear evidence of a prearranged, detailed battle plan between Britain and Ukraine. Ukraine's defense was stronger than expected due to its own strategy and resilience, with support from Western intelligence and weapons.
@@CMDR-Spock without military equipment that Britain supplied during 2021, the most important being javelins and nlaws, without this equipment you couldn’t have stopped The convoy up to 40 km. Long coming from north to south out of Belarus?
@@WILLIAM1690WALES I may be wrong here but as far as I know until 2022 Ukraine was receiving basically symbolic help. How many javelins did they have, like 30 or something?
Вообще-то, Британия и готовила к войне Украину. Поэтому и было очевидно, что Россия молчать не будет. 8 лет готовила, и бомбила параллельно Донбасс🤬, руками укро-нацистов.
@@marinebymistake Yeah you are wrong. The west have been arming Ukraine up since 2014
Even the title is comedy! :)
Battle Board seems like an amazing show, more please!
Great format! Love the old school paper maps and board movements.
slava ukraine!
A video discussing a battle by moving abstract shapes across a map?
PUT IT STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINS!
But maybe use certain shapes for different kinds of troops/vehicles, else the dots may be more confusing than generalising, e.g. at 11:30 there is no difference between the motorized infantry and the SU fighter bomber
Historian here, might be a bit too early to analyze this, but after watching the video this is a job well done, and it's a start for future Historians to take reference.
Its pure nonsense. The way pro-ukrianians keep talking about Hostomel airport, it never happened. You can even go back to the military maps from that time. Russia went in, captured the airport destroying the Ukrianians. Then the ypulled out, and the ukrianian military took days before entering. How could that happen if these stories are true? Ukrianians made up stroies to push the war and helpt the troops with morale.
@@attilamarics3374 Sure buddy. How much Putin paid you to copy+paste that?
@@alaric_ As I said its searchable on any military map. Pro-ukrianians made up a nice story. Not like they arent known for similar ploys.
@@attilamarics3374Lololol! Russia never captured the airport! If they did, why didn't they land any troops there? Delusional Russian bot
@@cliffordyee745 They did. Come on. You guys are denying reality. What will be your next line, the ghos tof kiev is real?
Nice video, I'd certainly want to know more about russian invasion in Ukraine. Seems like with time people have grown indifferent to it, that's sad
this UK government funded media has been telling us that Ukraine is winning battles after battles, from Mariupol, Bahkmut, Krynzky, and many others. LOL
