US aid has come at a crucial time for Ukraine while a smaller British aid package could be used for attacks on Crimea, retired Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell tells Frontline on #timesradio.

Don't blame Ukraine for the counter offensive, blame yourselves for not providing F16s and long range missiles
Exactly.

The gentleman who said that the $60 billion was cash was completely mistaken. There is very little cash involved. It almost all weapons. He was also mistaken when he called the Crimea an island. It is not an island. It is a peninsula.
He also showed a lack of understanding of American logistics.
PERHAPS HE MENT 50 BILLION FROM EU? AN INCREMENTAL PAYMENT SCHEME, NOT BAD...... IS WHAT IT IS.
Crimea is LIKE an island, because it is connected to Ukraine by bridges.

AIR ASSETS OUR PATRIOTS ARE UPDATED SOFTWARE TO 1991 LEVELS AT LEAST, THE IMPORTS TO UKRAINE AF THAT IS......
The “60 billion” is actually less than 15 billion. It was a sound bite.
20 billion was to pay for stuff they got last year so that is zero.
15 billion was for last year’s US intelligence support = zero
The whole "Dont drive up the price of oil" argument is BS. They are fighting for their survival for goodness sake.
Ukraines attacks have negligible effect on the price of oil, the source of the US government’s chiding of the attacks is US Oil industry lobbyists 🇺🇸. They are afraid Russia will block their pipeline exports from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
True. However keep in mind that a presidential election is coming to the US. Drive up the price of gas and you drive up the inflation rate and the likelihood that Trump - a Russian asset - will replace Biden. And the US is about 75% of NATO budget.
Absolutely right. AND Russia does not export diesel and gasoline. They use it themselves.
So we pay for the aid and we pay for the high gas prices? Oh and we pay for long range missiles because they use long range drones to attack inside Russia instead of using them to save their own soldiers?
Ukraine is losing. Stop the war.
I wish yall would speak with somebody who understands how United States logistics works. This bill will have an almost immediate effect on the front lines.
I agree. Much coming from the US may have to be sea freighted, but much will be locked and loaded in Poland, Romania and Germany and should be on the front lines in days.
Too late though, the damage has already been done, Russia now has the initiative on the battlefield their morale is up. Ukraine knows it can't rely on the US... (not to mention other countries). China is probably looking at the US and thinking if the US is that reticient to spend basically a tiny amount of money would it really go to war over Taiwan?
Yes it will 😊 another thing people don't understand is that USA hasn't stop sending weapons of course not as much but that's why NATO has been doing more.
It will still take weeks to trickle in, they don't fly it in or anything it is all by road or railway
@@tomriley5790 Not really. Russian moral up? You're wrong. They've committed themselves to suicide attacks to get what little territorial gains they have gotten. Moral is another thing completely. China and Taiwan? No. Invading Taiwan isn't a trivial thing at all. All they would have to do is hold out a few weeks at most for the US to stage their forces and it would be over for the Chinese invasion. Literally the 3 most difficult types of combat are offensive landing operations, mountain and urban warfare. Taiwan is literally a monotonous island packed with huge cities. Also, unlike Ukraine the US has a defensive pact with Taiwan and has stated that it definitely would go to war with China if it attacked Taiwan.
My understanding is that the US has been manufacturing 155mm artillery shells continuously. The recent funding includes increasing 155mm shell production capacity. I don't think there is much wait for deliveries to resume. There are other authorizations that have been available to move shells to Europe all this time.
JP on Ukraine war Updates copied a post from some guy in US that said there was 4 million artillery shells just waiting to be decommissioned. If that was true, send the lot to Ukraine and let them sort the good ones from the duds. It saves the US a fortune in decommissioning, and potentially tips the balance in Ukraine's favour. Trouble is nobody can even confirm or deny if it's true. I last read that US is to upscale its 155mm shell production to 80,000 per month by end of year. With other NATO countries plus Ukraine's own shell production we should be at 2.5-3.0 million a year by mid-end 2025.
THere is no wait, the munitions are literally ready to ship and have been for quite some time.
You are correct. Much of this artillery and weaponry will arrive quickly. This former fighter pilot is clueless 🙄
I believe your correct about the 155 shells. The Pentagon (in anticipation of the Ukraine and bill passing) pre positioned a lot of material in Poland, and Germany. Already loaded on trucks. A turn of a key away from delivery.
It is already in Poland, 1billion of military aid specifically…this guy is not informed.
Four mile miss average? There was a far greater concern. The British Bomber Command crews suffered an extremely high casualty rate: 55,573 killed out of a total of 125,000 aircrew (a 44.4 per cent death rate), a further 8,403 were wounded in action and 9,838 became prisoners of war.
The issue with the Ukrainian counter offensive was that they weren't getting the equipment at the scale they were asking for. A fact I suspect that was driven out of fear by Western leaders over what might happen if it was successful and how Putin (with his habitual nuclear threats) would respond.
Correct
Appeasers and cowardly (Biden, Scholz, Macron etc.) or fascists (Trump, Orban etc ) is the norm in western politics.
La peur et l'apaisement sont toujours une mauvaise réponse face à un ennemi agressif qui s'en sentira seulement encouragé à faire plus ...
We can all support Ukraine. For example, by donating to United24 which funds drone programmes.
Tru, also a lack of air power and I think an understanding of the scale of the war.
This guy doesn't know what's up. The munitions are ready to go, they have been for some time. Our munitions factories never stopped producing when the bill was stalled. They've been pumping 'em out and now that they are paid for, they are ready to ship. They'll have munitions within days.
I only saw that he was talking about the UKs capacity for being on a war-footing, that's really what he was talking about, not the US, re: UKs lack of industrial production because of fears the money won't be there from the govt in several years time.
Then Ukrainians will only lack people on the front line. Hooray
Nonsense. Whether they have been pumping out since this started you simply do not have the industrial capacity to supply what is needed.
Also Ukraine has been holding back and rationing. Now that they know aid is coming within days, they can use up what they currently have. The effects on the battlefield will be immediate.
@@notdesmonondo Are you dumb? It is a finite number, 60B dollars worth of munitions, missiles, and systems. LOL at "don't have the capacity"...they are already built, genius. They will be in Ukraine by the end of the week.
Why can't NATO and the west just organize a strategy where Ukraine gets what's needed for a fast win. Rather than a drip drip protracted failure. Surely with careful thinking and logistics the war could turn out to be more economical with a speedier outcome.
Because NATO and the west does not have the industrial capacity to make a difference, and factories cannot be built over night.
Ukraine winning has not been a strategy so far. Only hoping the Russians would give up. But they only doubled and trippled down.
So now the war will last longer causing more death and destruction and it will cost us a lot more than if we got to doing the right thing straight away.
We've also proven to the world that 'Nato' without the USA is just an empty & powerless skeleton.
France has gotten the message in the mean time. But I guess they are the only ones in Western Europe to wake up.
And I'm not sure their spending policy will achieve its goals.
If Russia loses quickly, the Russians will blame the U.S. and the EU. If Russia loses slowly, the Russian people will blame the oligarchy and Putin. The West also fears the aftermath of Russian defaeat, specifically who will get control of the nuclear weapons.
Nobody but Ukraine and other nearby countries want razia to lose and fall apart. The US has always been to nice to razia.
It's unfortunate that we few, with the insight to see that your point exactly defines the whole problem with the West's response, are not in positions to alleviate the situation.
There was already a massive amount of weapons sitting in Poland for Ukraine so they would get there quickly once the Congress approved the funds. So all they had to do was drive the stuff across the border or load it in trains and send it over. So Ukraine will get an almost immediate relief.
agree. Something US-american forces really shine, their logistics. Not as glamorous as tanks, guns, missiles. But the US-logistics is a force like never seen before on this planet.
yes and they are just waiting get the ok and to be moved.
It’s not cash, much of it is a fairly specific list of hardware. At least that’s what we’re seeing here in the US. 155 artillery, Patriot missiles, 7.56 ammo, Bradleys, Abrams, etc. I’ll try to find it.
yes, well, the 34 Abrams from last year were a bit of a drop on a hot plate I guess. (So were the 80 Leopard II's & 10 Challengers)
Hardware is cool. But a joint STRATEGY to have Ukraine win sooner than later is what's needed even more.
60 US Military Commanders
They weren't successful in last year's offensive because they were forced to wait for minesweeping vehicles as they didn't have in sufficient numbers at the time.
A little bit different to what you say was the Russian mines were stacked to provide maximum effect. And what are they doing for tanks as the M1 have gone home etc
These people are absolutely mad.
Yep, totally bonkers
Exactly. -- so Ukrainians will use these weapons to drive the mad people back into their own asylum of a country.
The Senate passed the bill today. Tomorrow supplies will roll from Poland and US bases in Germany. Stay strong Ukraine. Help is on the way !
Here is a high ranking officer moaning about the Ukranian counteroffensive not working out.
But the Ukranians had to do it in a way NO NATO COUNTRY would even consider an attack: no air superiority, not even air support.
All in all... Britain gave 10 tanks. About 80 Leopard II's of various updates (or lack thereoff) and only by september 34 M1A1 Abrams arrived.
So a hundred and some tanks were going to dislodge 400000 Russians dug in trenches armed with drones and an air force?
...
🙄
230 main battle tanks of various types, 1600 armoured vehicles and about 200 bradleys.
@@RazorMouth Russia has lost over 6500 tanks. We need to be sending thousands not a couple hundred.

Hold on! Do we not already know what is being shipped? Jake Broe had a full list of that that $61Bn comprised. It was good to see a line item which read "In order to defeat Russia"
18:44 it’s all very well saying we’ve given enough money to Ukraine, but do we want Russia on our doorstep? Look how Poland and the Baltic States are reacting to this, because they know what the Russians are like! This is a chance to end any vestige of the Cold War for good. How much did we spend on weapons during the Cold War? Do we really want to go back there? It’s far more economic to nip this in the bud now.
Fantastically succinctly and correctly summarized. You nailed it

to sean bell: as an ex RAF regiment serviceman, i salute you, sir. thank you for your service, sir.
With respect, I would not want your guest in control of the Ukrainian army.
He isn't Ukrainian and doesn't live there!
Absolutely!
You are truly dredging from the bottom of the barrel if this is your military expert. This former fighter pilot is clueless. That $60B is not in cash. It’s almost all in military equipment. The very important ammunition will arrive quickly (geographically, it’s probably closer to Ukraine than you think). The increased ammo alone means the effects will be seen quickly.
We can all support Ukraine. For example, by donating to United24 which funds drone programmes.
budanov clearly stated, that the plans to destroy the crimea bridge are nearly complete. now with the new aid package, that plan is likely complete.
Where are the F16's?
Getting prepared. No point sending a plane if the logistics are not ready. Putin and his fan girls in the West would have a field day if they managed to destroy an f16 sitting on the tarmac because it had no munitions or was waiting for a new oil pump.
Very few countries can do much with f-16s or any fighter jets ..too much training involved from both the pilots and maintenance..one trip in f-16 4 hours max -/afterburners 1/1/2 -2 hours is 25 k in fuel -every hour in the air requires 17 hours of maintenance (crazy and this is why 1/2 of russian planes just took off and crashed all on their own ) and the 17 hours of maintenance needs to be done by a highly trained jet mechanic with acces to all replacement parts ..so unless we send our guys with the planes it’s a waste ..
Ukraine attacks on oil refineries (not oil exporting facilities) will only reduce the price of oil, because Russia will have to export more oil, not less.
Russia will have a higher cost and also having supply chain problems providing refined gasoline products for the war machine. The question is if Russia seems to be egocentric in this matter as well since they didn't read or understand the memo about reducing CO2 emissions....
OXI MORONIC STATEMENT, YES WE HAVE NO BANANAS?.?
Good point. Let's see
But incresse the price of fuel.
You don't use crude oil
Completely wrong, the oil refineries are responsible for production, so production falls. It also gives Russia an excuse to reduce production which is what it wants to do anyway in order to increase the price. It cant just reduce production without consensus from OPEC+ but ukraine is helping them do that with these PR stunt attacks
Man, he nailed it at the end. Don't Let the bully threaten you. Then, the bully wins..
Russian tide? Are you tripping? They lob ICBs at civilian targets. They've taken a few kilometers in battle at a price of hundreds of throusands in lives and materiel. Pahleeze. Its called Pyrrhic for a reason
and beyond the military scale. Russian companies get indebted heavily in chinese renbinbi. The massive losses of young men from russian republic areas with high birth rates is stupidity first class for an aging society. Something Putin is aware, seeing his new year speech. But they are to proud to call it a day and stop the invasion. Since this would destabilize the "Putin-system".
my tipp for you is: do not only listen to western and ukrainian sources... try to look as well at the russian information. both side use massive propaganda and the truth is somewhere in the middle.
The Patriot answer can be fast forwarded as it was pure filler Im surprised an ex- UK Air Vice- Marshal wasnt confident on the basics between the US Patriot and UK Starstreak but apparently not.
Russian petrol is used for military purposes, so there's a direct impact to russia's capability on the front line.
Nah, they use diesel.
@@notdesmonondo Nah, they use both. But diesel is the most, right.
We don't need war. We need diplomacy.
Most is already in Poland.
The most accurate point in this entire video. Get Mike Clarke back!
Correct - License to bullies is not the way! It will bring only regret.
I do not want to be negative but I do not understand why Sean Bell keeps appearing on news channels. He goes out of his swim lane (air warfare), and talks about the US aid package (inaccurately), overall war strategy as being about territory (very simplistic), economic warfare and the oil market (not his area), naval strategy and boat capabilities (not his area) and then declines to talk about a topic on which he might be expected to have special expertise i.e. UK missile system capabilities (to be fair, he might have been avoiding giving out useful info). I do not need someone to summarise the history of Western aid but his criticism of 'feast and famine' inconsistency and lack of sustainment is very valid. His comment on Second World War bombing is simplistic but was just trying to show how accuracy can beat quantity. If he focused on technology, industrial strategy and the air war, he'd be a much more relevant commentator. Others have noted that he did not mention drones, which are transforming warfare.
I lived around Silicon Valley in northern California and I've traveled all over the West Coast from Seattle to San Diego. The Defense industry here has attracted smart, intelligent employees who definitely helped to raise the standard of living. That's why I think these same industries should be in Ukraine, maybe underground, to help Ukraine to prosper after the war with good, high-paying jobs.
Endlich, Gott sei Dank

This guy has no clue how good US logistics system is. It only takes hours to get the stuff to Poland. Pentagon is ready to ship as soon as the President signs it.
Also America already has some gear in Poland and Romania …ready to go. It could be on the front in a few hrs.
As far as I know most of the ammunition is already in Poland and Germany and simply needs to be brought across the border.
I hope you are correct sir👍
Am sure priority stuff (air defense) ATACMs and 155 ammo
The girls will get it there. Girls just want to have fun...
It's easy to talk cleverly about it, then when you don't have to fight....😡😡😡😡
Any time delay occurred lives, money and property lost. To replace the losses cost more becomes expensive, delayed is the reason for that.
Thank you Republican Party and narcissistic sociopath Trump.
It was of coarse, very unfortunate, that the military aide from Europe, and more distinctly from the U.S., took so long to be allocated, but I think that it is possible, that from a certain perspective, the delay could have a positive aspect. The shortage of aide, has forced Ukraine to be innovative and more precise in their use of what they have available. This is a valuable battlefield lesson that I believe, will continue to benefit Ukraine, even after they have received additional aide.
Why wouldn’t we move significant forces to points along the very long and exposed Russian border? Putin would never know for sure if it was a real threat, and he would have to redistribute forces away from Ukraine to take up defensive postures. Vladivostok can’t be defensively fortified …
Re. Vladivostok - now that would be escalatory to the west. That would sure bring China in to play.
Putin in a weakened state attracts Xi Jinping to kick in his backdoor to take territory and resources in Russia. Grandmaster chess boys!
Putin knows NATO won't attack. He has taken air defence away from the Finnish border to protect his bunker in Sochi.
Russia dont want to attack europe. Would take more than just parade of soldiers.
Why blame oil prices on Ukraine but not on the Houthis (and Hamas and Israel)?
I always find Sean Bell an excellent guest. He's thorough, precise, and clear. As far as James is concerned, I think he always does a good job, especially when he's wearing a snazzy jacket😊
You don't seem to have much agreement from other viewers ! Are you related to Sean Bell ?
@@ericwillis777 no, just smarter than the other viewers 😉
@@kennethvenezia4400 That's why you think the US would just stop military weapon production? LOL. Seems like the classic Dunning-Kruger effect.
A very poignant interview. Glad Times Radio channel exists to keep us up to date and informed.
I don't know why Mr Bell seems to be saying that Ukraine won't get waepons until they have been manufactiured in the USA. Several sources have stated that there is American materiel stored in Poland etc that can be sent immediately. It's also well-known that the USA sends weapons and equipment from its own stokpiles and much of the money is used to replace them with new equipment manufactured in the States.
This guest is an uninformed embarrassment
Great questions and overall fantastic and thoughtful answers.
Thank you James, this was a great interview with affirming commentary. Keep up the great work.
General Ben Hodges says that Ukraine can recover Crimea and must do so to recover economically. Russia was leasing the Sevastopol harbor from Ukraine -- it's their own fault that Ukraine will never again lease it to russia.
What an excellent, well informed guest. More experts like him, please.
He is poorly educated He sais Crimea is an island ) I have been living in Crimea the whole life through He sounds funny )
He is mistaken about the US aid being just money..he is clueless. 1 Billion in weapons are already in Poland & was before the bill was signed.
So a no-flyzone probably shouldbe considered?!
Considering how efficient the Iranian attackon Israel was stopped a few days back, it might actually be a very good andfeasablemeasure.
There won't be a no fly zone because the USA is to frightened of going to war with Russia itself. They would rather arm Ukraine and hope for the best.
You do realise if that was imposed there would be a nuclear war.
Israel failed to hit the ballistic missiles fired at it's No.1 airbase and they know it.

Has anyone considered the parallel between the Spanish Civil War of the 1930 s and the Ukraine War of 2022-24?
Both have major powers testing all their latest technologies against each other on the theatre of a seperate country.
And we all know where that led on 3.9.1939.
Should this be a heads up for whats coming ? Particularly with conventional warfare , not a MAD war.
YES WELL EVERY WAR IS A TEST BED OF SORTS, TRUE,. POLITICS IN SPAIN ARE STILL DEBATED.
Maybe. Its more invasion of the Sudetenland & Anschluss in 1938 if you ask me, with the policy of Appeasement to boot & a lack of strategic thinking on the part of the West (both in our leaders & in our population). However, things are slowly changing, we're waking up. Of course, Spain didn't technically get involved in WWII but Russia, under Putin, may be less discerning with WWIII or some variation of it & Moldova, the Baltics invasions.
Not latest tech. Most of what has been sent is outmoded stuff placed in reserve. Still works good, tho.
America is reserving the best technology for NATO, if needed.
I think in the back of my mind and smile. Those who will benefit most from this war will watch it and develop their future strategies and weapons, that's for sure, they couldn't find a better testing ground. They will learn a lot from this war.
The Russianshave been the major benefactor of this lesson
Ukrainian morale is unbreakable. They have their families and homes at their backs.
which ukrainians? eastern or western? because while we can already see surrendering western units the eastern militias remain unwavering. they are never going back.
The equipment is already sitting at the border...
Zlenisxy 🐖
The Ukranians are not getting all this cash, they will recieve old but almost obsolete stockpiled weapons, machinery, shells and ammunition.
Except for a small amount, the money will spent in the USA manufactoring new weaponry, creating jobs. It's a win win for America and Ukraine and the West.
Sorry, he doesn't know what he is talking about. Ukraine isn't getting cash, there is a small amount and the rest is in artillery and weapons, old ones that the US want to upgrade. So the cash stays in the US.

Putin to Den Haag !
Ukraine's strategy is obvious - hit the most valuable, strategic assets in enemy territory while doing best to minimize front line losses. Reducing Russian revenue & war-fighting resources is the most effective possible war of attrition that Ukraine can wage. Oil refineries fuel mobile military assets & produce export revenue with which to buy war-fighting materiel - that's a two-fur - always strive for that, but really any highly 'productive' depreciation of the Russian economy is strategic, so relatively low cost drones disabling very complex assets & systems is smart. Ukraine knows this, they need just need reliable breathing room to keep it up.
Waar blijven de F 16??? 😊
I heard July. Can't remember who or why July but that's the last word I heard. F16's have been around for a while, so presumably the pilot training / maintenance training has been ongoing. Maybe it also has been the delay in the USA aid package. Nothing to hang on the wings of the F16?
So maybe it all comes together then?
They need very flat aerodromes, and training is not over yet.

@emanuelwenzel8185 F16 does not mean that they are just sent from there, there are many challenges for nato standard airplanes to teach the pilots not only to fly but also to communicate with the base in English, also the cockpit in English, to have competent mechanics and caretakers, the whole requires a lot of logistics and a base and runway suitable for the machines, things are not always that simple (my military rank is airman)

We can all support Ukraine. For example, by donating to United24 which funds drone programmes.
Ukraine's summer counteroffensive was doomed from the start because Putin's troops were given too much time to prepare! The explanation is that simple!
Now Ukraine has once again found itself in a very unfortunate situation because it was not (could not have been) given what it needed for its own defense. Thanks to the Trump connection. Putin played all of this into his hands, otherwise the front would still be further east.
It's almost a wonder why the Ukrainians haven't been completely overrun! The Russians' gains in terrain are downright ridiculous in relation to their own losses in men and material! Although the Ukraine had hardly any military material left to better defend itself.
It is proof of how superior the Ukrainians could fight if they were given the right weapon systems and the right amount of ammunition!
History could repeat what happened before the outbreak of "WW II", when people initially looked the other way (hesitation) and therefore there was a long war with millions of victims!
Putin must be stopped now and not just when he is at NATO's borders!
I concur 100%
He is overly pessimistic...

So sick of hearing European countries complaining about how long it takes or how much Americans give. The last U.S. president warned about Russia and Europe literally laughed in his face. I support Ukraine. I approve of my taxes helping. But maybe Europeans should actually step up with us.
This guy is a useless waste of time.

Another propagandist with his BS analysis 😂 i thought the storm shadow was going to do that or you can pressure your ally olaf to give you his Taurus missile.
I think sean, you should return to skynews😂😂
Another vatnik simp who lacks a sense of irony. I thought Russia was supposed to be winning the war by now? Yet even with Ukraine in a weakened state Russia is still throw tens of thousands of men to their deaths for trivial gains.
Storm shadow is quite effective, just ask admiral Viktor Sokolov...oh wait, you can't. Sorry
What's your actual name soft lad😂
