As we all know, Poland's armed forces have been on a spending spree for the last few years. They are currently spending around 4% of their GDP on defense and will soon be a military powerhouse. They are buying insane amounts of HIMARS launchers, tanks, self-propelled artillery and so on, but how is the state of their air defense?

Poland was unprepared in WWII from 2 directions. This will not happen again!
Poland has been doing a lot of chest-pumping since American military is stationed there. Before that, Poland was really quiet. :)
It's already "happening".
you mean since ww2?@@BeYourselfMan
What recent experience in war has Poland had lately? None whatsoever.@@jamesbonn2394
That’s right both Hitler and Stalin colluded to instigate WW2 by invading Poland. Not again will Putler get away with this trick.
In WW2, many Polish airmen made their way to Britain and joined the RAF. As they had battle experience, they were some of the most effective RAF pilots fighting the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain. I am thankful that we have Poland as a NATO ally.
I learnt that from the Horrible Histories RAF Pilots song: "That's right, some of our bravest men were Polish & Czech!" So kids (& adults who watch kids' tv, lol) still learn about Polish awesomeness in WWII.
Not only that. It was a very tight selection who will be a pilot in Poland. Only the best of the best were selected.
WW2 was won by Russians
Thanks Artur Rehi for your military, economic, social, cultural, historical, and psychological analysis, wit, humor, sarcasm, remaining true to yourself, caring about protecting Estonia, democracy, Europe, Ukraine, and loving your audience 😁
Saw the Polish Army in Afghanistan. High degree of proffesionality. Heard from US troops that they were all up for a knockdown, drag out fight. Polish Army ain't no joke. Russia would get their butts beat, if they tried attacking Poland.
Yet they ran out of Afghanistan 😂😂😂
@@SuperScarab They had no choice. As good as they are, with the US pulling out (disgracefully), they were not likely to get support from the US, were they to stay. And who would want to be left holding the bag? Would have been stupid to stay.
Thanks, Artur.

The reason 16% interest is bad, is that it kills business. If you are an entrepreneur you need capital to build youe business. Example: You build houses. People lend money to pay you to build their houses. But people can't afford loans with 16% interest. Nobody is buying houses. Your house-building business goes bakrupt. I don't know if this exact situation is very relevant in russia, but it applies to all business. It illustrates a trend.
16% is getting close to the maximum allowed interest rates in the USA, much higher is considered abusive. Imagine trying to fund a small business startup with only high interest credit cards. Possible but usually a bad idea.
16% is what the banks pay to borrow the money that they loan to businesses and people -- they add 5%-10% for their own costs.
Thanks Artur. Your Dudayev interview and related personal commentary was very interesting. I'm Australian and one of my good friends is an Estonian born in Australia. I remember being young, naive and hopeful in the time after the wall came down. I was having an "argument" with his aging father who had defended Estonia against the Russians in WW2 before being forced to fight for the Russians...probably a common situation. I said that Russia would become a new, democractic country and that the Cold War was over. He laughed and said to me " *Never* trust the Russians. *Never!* ". How I wish that he was still alive so that I could apologise and say to him how right he was.
I'm 60 years old...[Greek] My generation grew up [as teenagers] hearing the phrase that ''THE NEXT WORLD WAR WILL BE FOUGHT NOT WITH BOMBS, BUT WITH MONEY!''... it sounded weird, and a fiction at the time... we were concerned about other things... [Peace-Love & Rock n Roll...] We were young... now it all makes perfect sense...
I would go as far, as to say that ''EVERYTHING GO AS PLANED!''.... and keep it quiet... you don't want to wake up the frog!
The next violation of air space should be addressed as well as its source.
I was just thinking it should be addressed, but I totally agree, as well as it's source!

I would like to remind Poles that 1/4 of Polish population was lost in ww2...

3000 to Soviets.
Logicaly, they hate those that liberated them and just love those that mscred them.
The words of Dudayev are truly jaw-dropping. Thx for bringing it up. And thanks for reporting on this variety of topics, we all see Ukraine is in the focus, but it is actually much bigger than that. Ty for staying with Ukraine regardless everybody. Slava heroyam, Slava Ukraine 💙💛 Rossiya budet' svobodna ⬜🟦⬜
Hi bro....from the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪
Chechnia -what a sad story, I remember back then crying over photos of old women with nothing left but a cat... Dudayev was such a brave leader, he sure deserves more world recognition and respect.
Absolutely agreed.
and the way things ended up there under that barbarian Kadirov... the whole is EXACTLY what happened with Bibi and the Palestinians-- all they wanted was a part of their country back, and they had very reasonable, secular liberal leadership of their resistance movements-- but then, the extreme nationalists on the other side intentionally armed, funded and empowered extreme religious fanatics just to sew chaos, cause divisions, undermine the secular reasonable leadership, and tarnish the image of the whole struggle, while their violent actions could in turn be used as an excuse to justify not only more conquest and imperialism, but at the same time more consolidation of power and political repression and police-state at home....
Putin's Scotched Earth Military Policy isn't Genius.. More like War Crimes...

Russia Just repeating the same mistakes they made in the past (ad nauseum). I studied history in college got my BA in it. Studied with a Professor who specialized in Russian History. So to me at least none of the current actions from Russia are a surprise or a shock..........but am truly disgusted by their behavior for sure.
What do you imagine would need to take place domestically for Regular honest russians over throw that putin..
Soviet style hubris.
@@VonCraft You answered your own Question.
And America's behaviour? If all you are disgusted with is Russia's behaviour... then your BA is just a useless piece of paper
@@VonCraft Good question: Not so sure there is a good answer for that. Things will have to get 10X worse for everyone in Russia and that is hard to imagine. It's a societal problem that is bigger than most people know, and changing that sort of thing tends to take decades. All out defeat like happened to WWII Germany might do it. But even then such things have happened To Russia in the past and you can see what we have currently.
The slow method used to assist the dissolution of the USSR, will work against Russia too. You must give it to the Russians, they can withstand pain. They don't fight internally against the “government". Thanks for the Chechnya video. I searched more about Dzhokhar Dudayev. He reminds me of Zelenskyy.
😂😂😂
Totally reminds me of Zelenskyy. There was a facial expression he made when talking about russia's murder of civilians that looked just like Zelenskyy - talking about the murder of civilians.
I'm too lazy to search. That makes me an inadequate person. But I worked today and earned money I will send to Ukraine. This I pledge.
@@AstroGremlinAmericanDzhokhar Dudayev is the name. Thanks for your support to Ukraine, greetings from Estonia.
No it won't, the USSR was running at a loss - it couldn't afford to feed its population - Russia MAKES a clear profit of at least a billion dollars per days thanks to energy exports - more than can be said for the entire west.
You can tell Poland has really learned from World War 2 and being under Soviet Occupation.

@@santsu9426 He's an Estonian soldier himself who personally went & delivered drones to Ukraine more than once & has talked to the men on the ground currently fighting in Ukraine. To just hand-wave this as propaganda is redundant. He obviously has a bias towards Ukraine being an Estonian, but there wasn't a single piece of misinformation I saw in this video. Please, can you explain to me what was wrong about what he said, and what more you know & can expand on? I'd be very interested to hear.

I love the mention of Finland and the Winter War. For those who don't know, they only surrendered because they ran out of ammunition, not the will to fight. Hopefully, we don't see a repeat in Ukraine.

In the U.S., the republican party is no longer the "Party of Reagan" where beating Russia was a priority. Most Americans want to give all the help we can to Ukraine. However, members of the GOP in congress arent on board. You can see it in the Tucker Carlson "interview" of Putin. Thats symbolic of many republicans. I hope it changes. I hope republicans come to their sences and we can give Ukraine what they need to defeat Russia.

Bohaterom chwała
Russian occupation? You mean during the period between Sep 1939 and June 1941? If not then you are the bill.
The slow-boiling frog approach is all very well, but in the meantime Ukraine is running dangerously low on air defence rockets.
At these times I feel like even Baldric could come up with smarter plans..
The slow boiling is also a good idea, because 'the frog jumping' may have some nuclear side effects.
😂😂😂 Russia won't fall, they have been waiting for this war since 1940
Exactly. Biden doesn't want Ukraine winning "too quickly" put of fear that Putin might snap and fire a nuke.
@@nonameinsouthafrica3315 Haven't they historically resetted their society once every 100 years?
"Si vis pacem para bellum" (if you want peace prepare for war), nothing ever changes. Geographic circumstances make countries like Poland and Ukraine have to work far harder to do so.
Ahem...What the World learns from History is that nobody ever Learns from History itself.
This is one of the most comprehensive, and insightful analyses of the Russian/Ukraine conflict that I have seen since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Kudos to Artur Rehi
Clearly you know absolutely NOTHING
I have to agree with you, we have an increasingly better armed and well-trained army and reserves in Poland. In addition, there are about 40,000 in Territorial Defense. As for what the Chechen general said and the fact that she "predicted" the future, now I will have fun predicting the future, Russia will fall apart in 10-15 years, just like the Roman Empire. Byzantium, Kingdom of Britain. Every empire falls sooner or later, and I only mentioned Europe here.
Awesome! Thank you!
Poland has had the hardest lessons in her history and they will not repeat the same mistakes. I would not want to be on the receiving end of a angry Poland. Glad they are in NATO.
The Poles have had it up to here.
Apparently polish farmers that are blocking roads to/from Ukraine have different opinion.

Russia would now rather admit that western sanctions are having an effect on their ability to sell their oil, rather than admit that Ukrainian drones are hindering their production.
Запад по сей день продолжает торговать с россией несмтря на санкции.
Russia earns (profit) over a billion dollars per day thanks to its mineral wealth - new money coming into the country - meanwhile the UK and the US sink into further debt spending borrowed and printed money (net loss) and are reliant on imported food and energy. Yeah, Russia is a crap hole run by a dictator - but it's on a more solid financial footing than most of the debt-riddled west! Under Biden's administration the US has been running up 100 years worth of debt/QE every 100 days - this will cause an irrecoverable debt spiral - the end of the west as we know it. You will be spending more on interest than you do on defense within 5 years. This is the exact same trick New Labour pulled on the UK when they were in power - it's been managed-decline ever since.
@@Skipper441Obliterate is Good!
16% interest if you borrow €100k for a house you have to pay €16 000 a year just to keep the debt at 100k, that's just insane.
That is 10,000,000 ruple. 1,600 000 ruple interest the average Russian wage is 1,240 000 there wage doesn’t even pay for the intest Russia is going backwards
If Russia loses quickly, then it would be back at 1991 borders, mostly able to rest, rebuild, retrain, and go after Ukraine again. Did Russia lose quickly or over years and years in Chechnya?
Russia is willing to blame Ukraine for terrorism that they had nothing to do with. Ukraine SMO2 (Russian playbook)
😂😂😂 Ok
Thank you Artur for some interesting bits of history. Slava Ukraini
You're incorrect about Putain not being able to maintain the meat assaults- they don't need ANY gear to waste their army, in hope of simple mass overwhelming the UA defenses, and it COULD happen if the UA just runs out of ammo completely (unlikely, but possible). He clearly doesn't care if his meat has to walk right up and engage in barrooom hand-to-hand, AS LONG AS HE HAS THE MEAT- and that means schoolkids, and babushkas, and anyone left in the country he can dragoon.
soon he wont have the money to pay them, or the gas or oil to move the vehicles...no money, no gas?....no meat waves.
@@jtf2danbut he sends them as slaves, on foot as we speak.
Despite what you say about the slow pace of US aid may have some merit, but it is also causing many Ukrainian deaths and lots of destruction. Preferable would be a fast victory, with lots of aid NOW.
Seems like Europe should maybe.. idk. Get to work?
Sending more stuff is actually causing more deaths if you really THINK about it
We have a representative democracy. Not everyone agrees that we should fund a foreign war with a non-ally. That may be due to Russia funding propaganda in the US, but it hardly matters... the fact of the matter is this: we've been staving off this fire for 80 fucking years.
@@ruks345 , they both should! US needs to stop passing around fake treaties!
@@adrien5834He’s right, EU still exports 95% of the arms they produce + holding back a lot like Scholz w/Taurus. But OP is also right that the US should be giving enough that Ukraine doesn’t need to experience huge civilian and military losses, but domestic traitors are blocking aid. However, Biden and the democrats have been brain dead and never told Americans why the war is so important.

Glad to see you are still making a go of it Arti
Artur, the central bank of Orcland has to raise interest rates to stop inflation caused by the collapse of the currency (rubbles or rocks or whatever they use.) This means everyone has to raise prices, especially the military industries and any deficit spending the Orc government does will be costing them at least the 16%. When you raise prices the people spend more on basics and can not participate in buying bonds to help fund the war or the government. Crushing the rubble is the fastest way to destroy Orcland.
Isn't Orcland just called Mordor? The rest is off course 100% historically correct.
A business that is financed at 16 percent has to have a higher rate of return on what they sell to pay back that 16 percent. In a way, it's almost like tacking on an additional 16 percent sales tax to that business.

As a polish person i would be cautious when it come to our military. We had few deaths during training reacently. Also our profesional military is still under equiped when it comes to helmet and vests.
Growing up, we had family friends, that had lived in Poland under both the Nazis and then the Soviets. They said it was better to live under Nazi rule than Soviet tyranny. “The Soviets would do anything; they were savage, cruel, and brutal without regard for human life. The Soviets were horrible people! No one wants to live in the Soviet system!” That’s why UKRAINE MUST WIN! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦
Artur , very interesting , well explained , you do your reseach and it makes sense , lookforward to your input Richard UK
This is the best video I've seen of yours yet Arthur: thank you. The history is so important.
Thanks Artur - This was a good video. The 1995 video of the president of Chechnya showed the he was prescient. He knew the future. He understood the Russians. The Russians are what the Russians were. Your videos make the world understand them.
(9:08) When I studied International Studies in university, it was very apparent that Russia simply lacked soft power on the international stage. Their culture hasn't produced anything (technology, the arts) that can rival Western culture which is one of the major reasons why Russia isn't seen in a positive light (not forget about its history) and their language is not widely spoken. Additionally, having the freedom of the press and speech severely curtailed (now virtually non-existent) led to a "brain drain" that further damaged and reduced their soft power. Finally, economically speaking, the kleptocracy of the Russian system in the late 20th and early 21st centuries has robbed the Russian economy of bright and eager entrepreneurs leaving most of the power in the hands of old, decrepit, oligarchs. With that being said, NO sovereign state that was once part of the Soviet Union would be eager to be under the Russian sphere of influence or rejoin it; thus, why Eastern Europe has joined the E.U. and NATO. Now Putin is simply a "boomer" who is angry that the world has changed and left Russia behind so he is "table-flipping" the game and attacking.
Something i dont think allot of people think about is... now that all countries have SEEN that "modern stock piles" are absolutely nothing compared to a high intensity warfare.
I think now all major countries will start ordering unbelievable amounts of ammunition and artillery shells!
The nire HIMAR systems you have, ultimately means the MORE ammunition you'll need!
Im really angry at my country, the US, for not sending aid yet but in truth Ukraine needs double that 60billion from the US to actually win. Hopefully when US aid does come through, Europeans will keep stepping up too because Ukraine is going to need way more aid to win when Russia mobilizes
It's not $60 billion. Only $28 billion earmarked for Ukraine and 90% of that $28 billion actually stays in America to update it's own military. Ukraine only gets the old US military equipment.
Thank you Artur, Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🙏❤️🇺🇸
