1950s tank
Makes sense North korea has ammunition for Putin 😅
yeah they gave em all there old stuff (which many videos leaked out of the quality of those shells as well as the old ones Russia had to dig out from 40 years ago). NK probably had one of the largest, if not the largest, stockpile of artillery shells, as they planned to open fire with there 4K cannon at SK when they invade (or so they plan....). And to be fair, UK has received old shells as well, but they seem to not have the same issues.
Don't forget China still has /had a buttload of ammunition for them. Strangely enough, China announced it was getting rid of its stockpiles of 100mm ammo a while ago....
These tanks should be stored at the museum, instead they were taken to the battlefield 😄
On the other side, imagine being a newly hired russian soldier and drive these tanks to the front, only to die there. Poor souls, no matter what. I wonder if they know what's going on before being sent to the front line.
@@priestandretti23 Especially when you consider that their fathers (maybe grandfathers) crewed the same tanks.
It doesn't matter if the tanks are old. People who laugh at this are not informed about this war. Russia does is not facing tanks, artillery or helicopters, it only needs armored vehicles to pave the way for BMPs to transport infantry to Ukrainian trenches across the fields. The mines and fpv drones are the real danger to Russia. It has been many months that Ukraine does not have enough ammunition for its artillery, all its tanks have been pop or disabled, and it is running out of javelins. Any armored vehicle is sufficient for the job, clearing mines, firing at trenches or covering for Bradley rounds. If they had preferred quantity to quality from the beginning of the war, Russia would probably have taken Ukraine by now.

The only thing that is still keeping the Russian army on the Ukrainian territory is the willingness of the regime to sacrifice so many people. Most modern militaries would have already pulled back due to high percentage of losses and domestic political pressure. Just to compare, Russians lost about three to four times more soldiers than Americans did during the entirety of Vietnam war, which in America led to significant growth of anti-war sentiments.

@@SubvertTheStateyou sound like your trying to convince yourself, you realize russia has collapsed before, right?
Oh no, Russias nukes!!! Anybody who believes they're still operable hasn't been paying attention. The CORRECT statement is, Russias shell production has already peaked and is beginning its decline, hence begging N. Korea and Iran, but it does produce more artillery shells than all NATO.... at least while western countries are half assing production and until they decide to start making an effort. Ill ignore that booming Russian economy, how Russias technologically 40 years behind and pretend these things aren't devastating problems they have no answer for.... Its obvious from the almost total lack of modern armor/equiptment seen on battlefields every day that the Russian claims about new production are laughable and just fantasy. Russia is almost completely reliant on Soviet stockpiles to replace their insane losses- and they're not even capable of something as basic as refurbishing everything. Thats a major problem considering that it won't last through '25 in the most OPTIMISTIC assessment, leaving only the insignificant amount they're able to actually churn out. Then we can mention their worthless air defense that can't stop anything and are being removed from the battlefield in multiples, complete lack of counter battery, training, leadership, logistics etc... With Ukraine receiving 5 more Patriots and western jets, Russias gonna lose their nonstop use of glide bombs, what will their inept infantry do then? I mean, even with unending bombardments against a nearly defenseless Ukraine they couldn't do much- other than lose unimaginable amounts of men and equipment, which SHOULD be a clue for the future. Ukraine will keep receiving more and better aid, while Russia will never have more than they did the day before.... Putin knows its all crashing down, its why hes so desperate. His only hope is for a miracle that allows him to sacrifice enough men to run out the clock before the country completely collapses..... but the collapse is accelerating, Russias getting weaker and the west is just starting to get serious about the war. Russia won't last through '25

Russian military doctrine : "Always reinforce failure and no level of losses are unacceptable."

thats how real war is fought , not a video game type war which western fight against goat herders
@@ayushkumar-bg1xf What you have written is a text book example of how a video game is fought - using people like goats.
Everything this video has said is a LIE. Ukraine has lost between 500 and 600 thousands of its soldiers. Russia has defeated Nato through its proxy Ukraine. Nato can give Ukraine billions of dollars and tons of weapons but it would never work because Ukraine is running out of soldiers, that is why men of fighting age are NOT allowed to leave the country, and older males are being forced into the Army. Unless Nato puts boots on the ground, Ukraine is doomed, and if they do that - that would mean the start of WWIII.

From realistic estimates Ukraine suffers casualties in +- 2:1 ratio thanks to materiel shortage... Yes russians are bleeding mire but they also have much larger reserve to pull from and to be "net positive" Ukraine would need to have casualty ratio above 4:1...

I'm both surprised and proud of Romania for doing this (and disappointed in the US for not donating more than one Patriot system to Ukraine). it is a very expensive tool and Romania is not known to be wealthy but it can actually do more good in Ukraine than in Romania -- and still serve Romania's interests. not sure if any country actually 'donated' their Patriot systems to Ukraine for good or expect it to be handed back to them once the war is over.

He is on Putin's side, and like Putin is also a criminal. We also have very many stupid people living in this country who believe everything they hear from right wing media. It's very bizarre, because growing the whole country viewed Russia as an enemy, and there was a long Cold War that lasted for decades. Now suddenly The Republicans are all saying Putin is a good person who is misunderstood and this is all Ukraine's fault. This is at a time when Putin is attempting to resurrect the image of Josef Stalin, and the old standing of the Soviet Union as a major world power. The behavior of Trump and The Republican Party to block military aid to Ukraine is disgraceful. We are giving aid, but it has to pass through many obstacles. In years past there would have been no problem. But the USA is a very divided land and almost nothing gets done at the legislative level anymore. People here have put a political party ahead of the country and the country's best interests.

In over two years, Russia has not been able to achieve air superiority over Ukraine.
This says everything about their airforce.
Air superiority is an outdated concept much like tank superiority. Light handheld weapons, and drones have changed everything. Quiet long range, kamikazee, remote controlled, weapons, on the ground and in the air will change everything.

You are an expert... Go there and explain the truth to Ukrainians
@@brains84 which of you are coping here🤔
Russia’s $400 billion isn’t even half of the US defense budget.
The difference is that the majority of the Russian defense budget goes to Ukraine, whereas a fraction of the US defense budget goes there. And what Russia spends on material is vastly cheaper than what the US spends on its overinflated defense contractor's material.
To put it in perspective, at the peak of the Cold War, the Soviet Union put about 25% of their GDP into military spending. It deteriorated their economy so much that their oil production was declining 6% per year. The West bankrupted the Soviet Union. People don't understand that Ukraine can do the same, bankrupt Russia. The HIMARS are destroying a significant portion of Russian stockpiles as soon as they arrive to the front.

No one has air superiority in Ukraine? Russia doesn't dare fly freely over Ukraine. Nor does their Navy stock the coast.

And claimed it’s there number 1 need , Russian air superiority is complete at this point, but that may change in the future

The war would be over much sooner if the USA hadn't drag its feet when supplying the necessary armaments. Even now the supplies are limited thus allowing Russia to continue their effort. The US and NATOs half-hearted piecemeal approach just allows Russia to continue this war.
This war will not be “over” like previous world wars. Neither side can loose without very serious consequences for their future generations. It will be so serious that the looser will make sure the winner exists in a world few people could survive. Stone Age style.
And much of the aid is older military equipment. You can’t exactly secure the Mexican border with a few Patriot missiles (not that a Repub wouldn’t try). :P
It is by design to keep the war going to deplete Russian stocks. Had USA showed more power, Russia would quit with their army intact.

I may add that Ukraine has taken out many RU radar systems which are complex and take time to replace. RU's air defence is vulnerable, in part due to the vast territory it has to cover and the 100 plus significant targets within it. Moreover, RU's economic base is losing money reserves and innovative potential, making a prolonged war effort unsustainable.
Believe, it's much more resources of all needs in Russia that you can imagine, despite all the economic support and weapons that are given in charity to Ukraine

Russia certainly does not have air superiority over Ukraine, even without f16s.
Actually they do have air superiority. Those glide bombs don't launch themselves and are alone responsible for much of Russia's recent gains especially in Adivka. Without them they could not advance on that front. Up north they are in a more perilous position precisely because the air approach to those battle fields is much harder. We need to stop those air launched glide bombs and that's one of the main reasons Zelinski keeps calling for air defense.

I think you meant to state that Russia had circa 16,000 IFVs, not 160,000. This number includes reserves, which are often basically junkyards.
It's funny to look at the US boneyard in Arizona and think that lots of those aircraft were sent there basically near the end of their lives to serve as spare parts or emergency replacements, and they are actively maintained.
Russia just threw everything into scrapyards and let it sit out in the worst weather in that part of the world. And then tried to put it back into use with predictably bad results.
And its a huge country. Those numbers must always have to be compared to size, areas or borders they have to protect. Russia is very low on available vehicles on Ukraine territory without compromising other places.
If Russia had air superiority over Ukraine, the war would be over by now. The big question is why didn't Russia get air superiority at the beginning of the war and dominate all the air space over Ukraine? By shear numbers of aircraft it should have been simple, but maybe, like many things, the number of operational aircraft is lower than what is being stated. The most probable explanation is that Russia does not have enough skilled pilots to be able to achieve air superiority over Ukraine.
I remember a YT video months back explaining that the West supplied Ukraine with surface-to-air missiles that were effective against Russian aircraft. Russia compensated by flying at a different altitude, but this had its own drawbacks. Hopefully, a search will give a better answer.
It's not a war. It is a police action?
Ukraine has a vast amount of S-300 air defence systems which are quite effective.
No air superiority can be enforced because of it.
because soviet doctrine is all about protection from air attacks, duh. It's NATO one that is about air superiority, hence both Russia and Ukraine had abundance of air defense systems rather than planes.
@@rcchin7897Ukraine’s first medium/high altitude air defense system from the west was the IRIS-T SLM from Germany. It was first pledged in October 2022.
Before that, Ukrainian air defenders’ only western made SAM missiles were MANPADs. Which are not as useful in preventing the enemy from establishing air superiority.

Despite having many Troops, Russia’s military is depleted. At this stage in the game I wouldn’t be surprised if hypothetically the Baltic nations launched an actual military operation into Moscow and toppled the government. Russia can’t compete with most NATO members.
If the economy of Russia actually collapses the way lots of people say it will, it would not surprise me at all to see Finland decide it wants at least part of Karelia back from the Russians. Viipuri was a really beautiful city in the 1930s. Today, it's known as Vyborg and is kind of a dump under Russian control. It would also put St. Petersburg much closer to enemy territory and force Russia to maintain a sizable presence there to protect it in the future.

It’s best people are fleeing, countries have decimated their defense industry for decades, other industries are decimated, aviation and auto industries, and its biggest company is operating in the Red, Gasprom. Not to mention that the ruble has crashed. Fail! Population is tanking too. 🤷🏼♀️
This facts are independing from the result on the battlefield. Even if Russia would win the war it is still a loss for the country.

Concerning the A-50 AWACS, the problem isn‘t the number of airframes, but trained crewmen. Two A-50‘shot down means dozens of highly qualified systems operators dead, and you cannot train new ones in a few months.
Have you seen some of those airframes?
They ain't flying anytime soon. 😆👍
Not to mention not all airframes are functioning they only have like 2-3 functioning others are just cannibalized frames.
When we talk about military power, it is wrong to assume that the manpower is the same with the equipment. Indeed, it has recovered most of the loses by mobilizing men, but that does not mean they are better equiped. They are simply meatwaves being thrown into the fire mostly with no real training or modern weapons or vehicles.

Ukraine is not a poorly equipped nation. Russia is fighting against a country of competent doctors, engeneers etc, that is suppported by the wealthiest and thechnologicly advanced nations.

Do not ever underestimate your enemy, this is the lesson that Putin had to learn...
The Ukrainian forces in WWII were the most aggressive and effective component of the Red Army.
Russia has always been weak, historically speaking. They almost always had success exclusively when invaders underestimated the harsh winters and Russian cruelty to its own citizens

No, it's not "want." It's that Putin has no choice. If he pulls out, he is politically done, dead, finished. He may not want to continue, but he really has no choice.

And Yeltsin just ignored the Parliament and fired on the Russian parliament with tanks (if you are old enough to remember the picture how he fired on the Parliament with tanks)
Yeltsin then removed almost all powers from the Russian parliament and concentrated as much power as he could his job as president.

The Russian army is like the Chinese one, it is strong on paper, but in reality it is weak
China hasn't been in a war since 79, they have no experience
You say this citing no examples or information. The Russian army has never been strong in the sense of instant victories, it has always relied upon waves of human meat. The current Chinese military is untested and therefore we have no real-world data to make assumptions off.
just like the western economy
welcome to BRICS!
I wouldnt say that china is that weak, they have a pretty good military
underestimating china would be a big mistake.
For most of my life I've been amazed at how long unsustainable positions can be sustained. They have a momentum all their own. Logic would dictate that at some point Russia will crack, but until then the destruction and loss of life will be atrocious.

"Russia has maintained air superiority"... they don't really, they're too scared to engage in Ukranian airspace, hence shy they're using stand-off weapons launched from Russia, or from over the sea.
there some wrong info in this especially for planes. they lost far more aircraft and the numbers the vid gives are wrong for some types like the A50
Russia's strategic forces, long-range aviation, cyber capabilities, space capabilities, and capabilities in the electromagnetic spectrum have lost no capacity at all. The air force has lost some aircraft, but only about 10 percent of their fleet. - Us general Christopher G Cavoli (congress in Europe April 10 2024).

I am reminded of something I read years ago. During the American Revolution King George tried to contract for Russian troops before turning to Hessians to supplement his own forces.. The Empress of Russia turned him down and told him that a ruler that had to hire mercenaries instead of depending on his own troops was showing weakness.
Everybody thought Kiev would fall in days.
Only a fraction of orc AC are airworthy tho.
Tu22 was shot down, not an engine fire
It so devastating bad, that RAF hold initiative on the ground last several months, makes UAF to fall back. Damn those shovels.
GDP spending is not a good comparison tool considering the GDP of the US is $25.44 Trillion US Dollars or nearly $900 Billion US Dollars vs Russia's $2.24 Trillion US Dollars or $156 Billion US Dollars. China's GDP is $17.96 Trillion US Dollars their military spending is $305.2 Billion US Dollars.
Also to consider, Russian civilian infrastructure is falling apart ever faster. The rouble is at an all-time low against the dollar. Banks are running short of dollars as there is a run on the banks.
why whould they need dollar when they trade mostly with China, though?
You're all confused. Russia measures its victories by how many of its own soldiers the victory took to achieve. Oftentimes, losing soldiers is the only sign that victory took place!
That is the Russian way
By those measurements, Stalin was the Soviets greatest loser .
Russia is running out of time and resources. While they should be never underestimated. They should never assumed to be inflated either
In WW2 Stalins doctrine was to support success and abandon failure.

In case of the navy, russia can not move more ships into black sea.
So what is destroyed can not be replaced from any another russian fleet.
So what is left in black sea?
To my knowledge, Ukraine sank or damaged around one third of the Black Sea fleet, or 26 ships. That leaves like 50 ships left.

I could see a problem coming from their submarines but in all honesty; having watched how poorly the russian army has been operating during the last two years I dont think they'd actually manage to do any real damage.
The thing that concerns me the most is the question about the state of their nuclear arsenal. Is it actually functional and maintained to a degree where it poses a threat? Or is it just run down by "vranyo" like everything else in Russia?
you mean the Ukrainian ships with Ukrainian crew that changed alliegence in 2014 due to ilegal coup made by Nuland? Yes, Ukraine manages to destroy some of ttheir former ships, not a flex you'd be proud of, though.
Wow the people making comments here really believe this bullshit
Huh? Please explain.
You stated that Russia is spending 7% of its GNP on the military. The USA was spending 40% of its GNP by the end of WW2. So 7% is not all that massively high.
That is also 40% of their budget
