I listened to this entire show, and I have to ask - do the hosts actually believe this misinformation, or do they just accept their job is to keep the general public from knowing what's happening?
Whats the misinfo? Its easy to verify whether Abrams are at the front or not. This war gets recorded by drone cameras 24/7
@@diIbert so much! No mention of the Russians gaining 11 sq km in a day (recall Ukriane's offensive gained 10 sq km in 3 months!). No mention of units in Ukrainian brigades surrendering, then Sirsky dissolving the entire brigades for fear more might throw down their arms. No mention of the film of defenders of Ocheretyne running away the day the Russian army arrived at the village. Nope! Just more positivity; best not to let the plebs wonder if those billions of $$/££s are a good investment! It's all sunshine and roses, Zelensky will conquer Moscow any day now!

Never call a war machine 'game changer' while the only thing it faced was farmers with sandals and ak47. The tank was not battle tested. Now its being tested.
Absolutely true. During first gulf War the US had a major technological advantage over the Iraqi. Mainly satellite positioning and reconnaissance, night vision and thermal sighting systems. This wasn't a peer combat test of the M1 abrams. 30 years later the world militaries all have this capability. The 2nd iraq war was bacially like clubbing baby seals.
a tank who needs to refuel every 8h is a garbage tank.. who in his right mind thought it would be a good idea to give a tank a jet engine with the heat signature of a vulcano adn the fuel consumptionn of a small town?!
The Abram was designed to fight off a Soviet invasion with extensive air support.
It was not supposed to be sitting in front of three miles of mines as drones and glide bombs fly unabated.
F-16 and anti-air ammunition will allow it to take on a defense role, but it is still unless for offensive purposes until some combat engineers deal with the minefields.

So we are being asked to believe that a Russian cargo ship moored in a Chinese port since February 3 for repairs is being actively used to transport North Korean ammunition to Russia. That was THREE MONTHS ago. So how many more months will it take before it docks in a Russian port?

But really, it is like the game Rock, Paper Scissors. Everything is susceptible to something. That is why there is always a need for combined arms. And if Ukraine has 5 out of 7 of the combined arms tools, the 5 arms they have will be susceptible to the angles that would have been protected by the 2 missing arms.

And Ruzzian tanks have been smashed in their thousands.
We see about 300 RU wrecks outside Avdiivka and 300 more outside mikhaylovka . Geolocated, with video of their destruction. How many emojis does that warrant, kiddo?
All tanks get bogged down by Ukraine’s Marshal Mud and drones. Supply of a small number of Abrams and Challengers was really an inducement and first mover cover for the supply of Leopards en masse given German reluctance. Actually, there is a lack of Leopards still on the ground and many are earlier versions of this superb weapon.
By contrast, Russian tank losses now exceeds 3,000, mostly due to anti tank weaponry, but also tank crew incompetence, poor training. Driving a tank is quite different to a tractor.
@@anthonyhulse1248 Sure, but they have the capacity to replace them and have. People don't seem to have learnt lessons from history. Hitler found this out nearly 80 years ago.
Maybe we've reached the point in modern conventional warfare where tanks are now obsolete. They've had a good run these past 100 years, but when they can be taken out with cheap drones...
So true 😂😂😂😂🤣
Why do our defenders of democracies move backward instead of forward?
Storm shadow is air launched. We’ve heard little to nothing about Ukrainian Air Force, but they are obviously still active. Come on telegraph crew, what’s the state of Ukrainian Air Force?
Dead, that is why they are trying to get F-16's to replace the MiG-29's that they have lost. The F-16 is a lightweight fighter warplane with very limited payload, combat radius and range, inferior in many ways to the Soviet-era adversary, the MiG-29's that Ukraine had.

I'm generally something of a fan of U:TL and have been listening regularly (as part of a healthy balanced media diet.) However I'm sorry to say that most of the things said about GPS jamming / spoofing was factually incorrect, apart from the gen from the airline pilot.
This channel is a joke 😂
It isn't all that effective pushing the airfields another 15 minutes flying time further away from the border. Forcing the basing airfields into Russia proper might make them use a more circuitous route and limit the number of bombs carried by each aircraft as the necessary fuel load increases. This is a slightly better outcome as it increases op tempo and maintenance needs / pilot fatigue but they are still untouchable within Russian airspace by Allied systems with the current ROE.
The only way to stop the use of glide bombs is F16's loaded with long range air to air missiles like Phonix and Meteor with authorisation to take out threat aircraft before they reach dropping range. A Patriot control module and radar might be able to LINK16 the firing solution data to a CAP within Ukrainian airspace and out of range of Russian AA/AD and SHORAD if that has been developed.
Alternatively, configuring AMRAAM and equivalent medium range 75-125 mile missiles to be launched by NSAMS against the bombs/bombers might work at keeping them at bay. Either way an effective no-fly zone above 1991 Ukrainian lands is needed whether it be by the EU air forces or Ukrainian operated systems.
As to UAV strike packages, they need to be accompanied by either F16's in a Wild Weasel role or drones/HARM missiles that can be controlled or programmed to do SAED/DEAD duty. And a bunch of drones/missiles that can broadcast spoofing radar returns would be a good idea as well.
But then again, what does a long out of uniform sapper know about current equipment and tactics.
Edit. I should have waited until the end of the podcast, some of my points were covered already 😜
I am utterly frustrated and disturbed by events. I think of my farther who in 1939, at the age of 25 volunteered as war was declared. He ended up as a flight Lieutenant Pathfinder Pilot in bomber command. 35 squadron. Not much chance of my following in his footsteps now. I am a 72 year old builder, now retired and a resident of rural Carmarthenshire since 1979.
I think what they really need is the bob semple this time.
😂😂😂 the west is dead and they are oblivious
Even after several years of NATO training Ukrainians have a long way to go for Western capabilities with weapons and strategies.
USUk have never lost a MTB in combat,Ukraine have lost several.
How come Russia has so many drones that tanks have to be withdrawn? I thought Russia was technologically backwards and our sanctions had stopped them building any?
Because they disassemble their washing machines, microwaves and refrigerators, plus smart toilets stolen in Ukraine, all electronic stuffing is only from there. Now all Russians wash clothes in basins and go to poop in holes in the floor.
Well, or because in the collective West, for the most part, there are a very large number of morons who believe in such propaganda by their biased mass media and in Russia everything is much better than it is shown on TV.
But but I thought this was suppose to change the tide of the war 😂
Hearing of the next Ukraine offensive will make many as uncomfortable as Bud Light hiring Dylan Mulvaney for another advertising offensive.
With tanks they should have withdraw entire population.
Does the apperance of turtle shell armour on Russian tanks etc mean that the drone war, is effectively over? Will the West have to dedign specific ordinance for drones?
Of course not. It is a shell on a tank. ww1 tech.

Ukraine will NEVER regain Crimea. That ship has sailed. Ukraine is collapsing.
The North Atlantic Alliance bears direct responsibility for the Ukrainian crisis, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Wang Wenbin told a news briefing.
"NATO bears indisputable responsibility for this crisis. The alliance should give thought to its role, stop shifting the blame and effectively take practical action for the political settlement of the crisis," he said.
Wang added that China was not providing weapons to the conflicting parties and strictly controlled dual-use goods, including the export of drones.
He said that "more than 60% of the weapons components and dual-use items imported by Russia come from the United States and Western countries." He emphasized that Russia and China maintained normal and open trading and economic cooperation.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg earlier said that 90% of microelectronics imported by Russia in 2023 came from China and that China was allegedly providing Russia with satellite imagery.
Dicky believes the Chinese. Wot a larf
I’ve always been of the opinion that the Abrams just isn’t the tank for Ukraine. So the title feels vindicating at least.
I would argue they are pulling them back specifically to preserve them until they can figure out how to handle the drone threat effectively enough. Not a admission of defeat at all
It got the Germans to allow Leopards to be sent.

It's known drones are defining the new battlefield combat environment. Ukraine needs operational Abrams. They are compelled to find ways to fix the problem!

One thing that can be said about Ukrainians -- they are very resourceful. If the turtle shell tanks seems to be working for the Russians, Ukraine will adapt the same idea and use it to a better effect. The "dragons- teeth" defense that Russia started using got quite a lot of ridicule from a lot of people, but they seem to be working, and Ukraine is now using the same idea but they use it to better effect, plus, half of the allocated funds don't go into their personal Bank accounts like it does with Russian oligarchs.
