G'day Legends, I hope you're doing well, Today we talk about the Russia's winter offensive and look at the war map updates.
If you're new here thanks for coming across, I served in the Australian Infantry from 2014-2021, With a tour to Afghanistan as a crew commander of a Armoured Mobility Vehicle.
Upon my Return I was unexpectedly diagnosed with a Incurable and Inoperable Brain tumour that is slowly killing me. I was also awarded the Queens Order of Australia Medal (OAM) hence the post nominals after my name. Then Being medically separated from the Army I flew to Ukraine in 2022 for 6.5months and now make content full time. I really appreciate you being here Thankyou

@willyOAM, Congratulations are in order for your work, Russian bots really gained some interest in your content and trying to manipulate social opinion. The amount of fake Russia propaganda accounts commenting on this video is staggering and interesting. Most of them has , and they like each other comments so they stay on top. This could use some investigative journalism of how and who is making these accounts.
@WillyOAM i could see the struggle on your face with this one buddy. The western countries have essentially accepted that Ukraine has lost the war. The only country that has the ability to send money is the US, but even if they could (public doesn’t want to and it’s an election year) then where would Ukraine purchase enough quantities of munitions? The fact is that Zelenskyy is struggling to maintain power and once negotiations , ceasefire, happens in earnest, he will likely be replaced. If Ukraine does not push hard for a ceasefire and talks then Russia actually has a chance to cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea by 2025 (which would be devastating as we both know Russia will not be giving any land back). Russia doesn’t want western Ukraine since it would be impossible to police it, and the guerrilla warfare would be chaos for them (assuming Russia even makes it that far in the future). Ukraine is unfortunately losing on every front, manpower, ammo, morale, money to pay troops and their huge interest payment of debt. Russia is now in a war economy and flush with manpower and building up supplies for their offensive, but the biggest thing for Russia right now is that the politicians and good portion of the public are outraged over the concert hall attack and they want to punish someone for it (Morale high ground in their mind, like the US after 9/11). I’m sure I’ll get called a Russian bot just like I am called a Ukrainian bot on the Russia biased channels I watch lol. The truth hurts but it’s easy to see through the BS on this one bud, I hope Ukrainian government stops thinking about lost land and free money and starts thinking of its citizens. The final tallies when this war is over is going to be really sad on all sides.
As Zelensky's term comes to a close, and the real possibility of losing Kharkiv, Odessa, Kherson, and Mikolaev oblasts approaches nearer and nearer in time, Ukrainians everywhere who want peace and an end to the carnage, and to salvage those endangered oblasts, should call for the reinstatement of President Yanukovych, the only leader BOTH sides can trust to preside over a neutral Ukraine, his record of neutrality proves it (it was a pretext for the revolutionary coup).

@@rudiservo You'd better do an investigation to find your own brains
Are you fcking kidding me, Ukraine a democracy!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Zelensky is now a dictator, supported from green western totalitarians. .
He means Ukraine Donkey 🤫🤫🤫🤣🤣🤣
A large part of the country that the Zelinsky govt claims sovereignty over hasn't had a vote in elections for it since 2014. If it had, based on previous elections since 1991, there would be a very different regime in power.
Let's not forget the date for the "elections" ended in March 31! so a few days ago. Details, details! No elections, opposition canceled, media canceled... All the signs of a "thriving democracy". LOL 🙂
@@carlosipec2270 and revently starting to bann the orthodox religion, the kiev regime is cancel culture regime
I have been following this since Maidan and the Odessa massacre. One would have to be either well compensated or extremely thick-skulled and blind to not understand how warped the Ukraine position is. They brought this all on to themselves. No amount of outside support is going to change the outcome.
The west has used Ukraine fro a lot of nefarious things. The server farms that were used to manipulate US elections were in Ukraine. 'Health' labs, money laundering and much corruption used and abused by the bad parts of the west. Ukraine is a victim of US corruption it seems.
Wise words
Willie has been looking super dapper this last couple of month, not to mention he getting a press pass to israel If i was a conspiracy theory i would said he got bought. Luckily i am -not-
Willy along with the Australian government backed the wrong horse.
Fine Cotton ----
100% and he has no idea about Ukraine and definitely zero idea about Russia. He thinks because he's been to Ukraine a couple of times that he knows the situation there. One day he'll grow up and realize the big picture.
I know. He's off with the fairies
Unfortunately we in the collective west are stuck living countries that are going down the gurgler due to decades of backing every wrong horse since the end of WW2, or probably since way earlier than that. We are merely hapless passengers who will go down with the ship, while the ships' captains will not suffer any consequences whatsoever.
Willy does have the capacity for intellectual honesty though. He is more than welcome to take any position he likes, and I wouldn't expect him to be free of his own personal biases, no one really is. I still check in on him from time and time and happy to listen to the man, even if I don't agree with his position, because he doesn't have that unpalatable odor of absolute bullshit like government officials or MSM rats. Plus guys like him can provide a conduit for cross-pollination if they manage to attract people from multiple sides. I rarely listen to NAFO apologists because I just don't have the stomach. They give me indigestion. It's a sad, sorry world when you're happy to listen to someone else who you don't entirely agree with purely because they don't make you ill. And not to be an unkind dick, that's not the only reason I tune into this channel from time to time, but you get the point.
My mother is from Ukraine and is completely infuriated with zenlenski for refusing peace and letting her country be destroyed, just wondering how Ukrainians still stuck in zenlenskis nightmare feel about his no negotiations policy?
Zelenski wanted the deal but the west didn't.
The last poll I saw showed that he has about 18% support…
It wasn’t Zelensky who opted out peace negotiations, his bosses led by Boris Johnson did. He’s just their mouthpieces. They make the decisions and he comes out to speak them. So if you want to blame anyone then blame the Ukrainians people for electing a career comedian to lead such a huge country.
@@michaelfaraday8391 Well, no. BJ *influenced* Zelensky, but to say that BJ was the one who “opted out” is idiotic. Because he wasn’t the president of freaking Ukraine…
Just look at ALL the election results in Ukraine.... Half the country has and always will be pro-Russian.
A country at war that has volunteers problems is an indications that the populate does not agree with the government. Postponing elections is an indication that the government knows that the population does not agree with the government also. To quote the loses of one side only is meaningless, as well as not quoting the reserves still available. The overall picture is that Russia is advancing.
Many people in ukrainian territory are still russians themselves and have less motivation to fight that we are lead to believe
Correct. In WW2, some young men who were not eligible to join the military killed themselves over the disappointment. In You Crane, young men are running to the border and paying smugglers to get them out. Press gangs are common. This tells all one needs to know.
Where is Russia advancing? I’ll give you Adviivka, months ago, at enormous cost (Russia essentially took a village). Beyond that the front is static.
The fact that Russia is advancing at all, muddy season, is telling and they appear to be building up forces for the summer offensive. It would mean Ukraine is really hurting for ammo and men and Russia having air superiority has been brutal for the Ukrainian forces. The 60 billion from the US is not happening due to US public not wanting it on either side. The US public wants the war to end with negotiations before Ukraine loses more land , only US political system wants to send the money but the elections are coming so I really doubt any aid package will get passed. Ukraine has a huge amount of debt as well, I’ve been meaning to look up how much of the 60 billion would have to be spent to pay the 2024 interest payment.
@@Aspeer1971you are not an intelligent human please refrain from commenting again
Interests on assets are part of the assets. Therefore, stealing them is the same as stealing the assets.
Yeah it’s stealing but hey, Russia is illegally occupying so it’s a moot point . Cash is king and the allies have Russias cash. 💴
They are not those evil bolshevics. They are using sophisticated word salad when stealing.
Hey Willie, I beg to disagree. The biggest weapon system with the greatest effect are the FAB glide bombs. Russia is now mass producing 3 tonne bombs. These bombs create massive shockwave damage. Not just bunkers and equipment, but soldiers as well. This is the most feared weapon on the battlefield.
when F-16 come they will be a thing of the past
@@cartoonfan959 by then Ukraine will be on its knees
@@cartoonfan959😂 love the optimism. But that would never happen.
@@cartoonfan959just like how the abrams was a game changer? The greatest weapon is the one that can be used today and reliably, the F16 isn't there and will have a hard time working since russia is bombing every decently sized air field
@@cartoonfan959 cant tell if you're just taking the piss. F-16's will just get destroyed. They cant be based in Ukraine and survive and the ukie airfields are not of high enough quality to support the F-16 anyway. F-16's air intakes are too low and require runways that are almost pristine.
I disagree on the reason for manpower shortage. The reason isn't people not joining. They are all dead. We have seen people forced into trenches that had no business trying to fight. They are all dead. Now we see videos of kids dressed in camo.
You see fake Russian propaganda videos made specifically to fool people like you
All of the nationalists already joined the army. Many fled the country. Those left are unwilling to join the army.
Yeah, russians are desperate.
We all saw the videos of their down Syndrome soldiers forced to serve (with terrible abuse against them)
Not babushkas, teen soldiers and Downes syndrome? Dear oh dear. And yet... yet... the Russians can't beat them. How very strange.
Willy needs to rename his channel to WillyCopium. Has he considered that Europe has nothing left to give, that is in excess? Why has he never shown forced mobilization and fights on the streets?
Meanwhile Russia relies on prisoners and using T-55s. How is 3 day special operation going comrade.
Because HE IS on the side of Ukraine and wants them to win. Everybody who watches his channel knows that.
@@Crackshotsteph yeah but he showed Ukraine taking L’s, now he states it more often but remains ignorant about situation?
@@vitaliyred622 Wiley will you that a spade is a spade but deep down he personally doesn't like the loses happening to the Ukrainians.
He is just saying what the experts are telling us. Col McGregor, Scot Ritter etc.
Wait a minute... If As per Zelensky Ukraine have over 1M men army and only 31 000 KIA, what "manpower shortages" are all talking about??? And as per the same the Russians should have about 200 000 soldiers left there...
Because he obviously lied, according to US officials estimates, Ukraine had at least nearly 70k KIA and 100k to 120k wounded on *18 August 2023*, you can find this article for free on The Guardian.
Commanders don't collect their dead and don't report them as KIA because a MIA soldier (meaning his commander) gets paid for 3 more months while a KIA soldier does not. Also Kiew makes Baghdad Bob look like the BBC, sooo...

Australia is so focussed on western superiority of technology, our FPV drones are made from waxed cardboard and held together with elastic bands
Are you knocking recycling mate? Heh heh heh…
Australia is merely a dumping ground for ineffective US surplus. Instead of getting rid of obsolete stuff that wouldnt be of much use on the battlefield anymore, it's better to sell it to a third party - you always keep the best stuff to yourself and sell off the other stuff to recoup some $ There's a reason there's no export variant of the F-22, SR-71 etc. ALL tanks are sold at full spec and top price to ANYONE because tanks mean nothing without air superiority 😂
Model should be called "Iccarus" :D

@@borylesny Yes, it just has to work well. The Germans didn't knock the wooden Mosquito which did insane amounts of damage.
Theft is theft doesn't matter how you dress it up. Or go and rob a bank and tell them your only stealing peoples interest.
You must be a philosopher 😆
It wouldn't be theft if they had frozen US assets in 2003
I agree with you. Although theft can be legalized if laws permit it under certain circumstances. So countries could legislate that Russian assets or their revenues can be confiscated and expropriated. The legality under international law is murky ... we are perfectly happy to apply international law in a way that suits our interest. Be it supporting possible war crimes by a close ally in the Near East or refraining from complying with international law or by simply not recognizing certain rules of the international law if the are not in our favour. IF we really want to uphold the rule of international law, we don't need a "rules based order" (= we make the rules, others have to comply) but a "law based order". With international law that has the same power over Nauru like it has over the United States of America. I for one am in favour of the unrestricted rule of international law.
@@chrishieke1261 The theft of Russian assets and the imposition of sanctions are ILLEGAL from any point of view. From the point of view of any International Law. Who are you anyway to manage other people's money? Is the United States or Europe at war with Russia? So the United States and Europe are thereby declaring themselves legitimate TARGETS for Russia? After all, Russia can use this right. You will have to PAY for illegal theft and causing economic damage))) Has Russia invaded another country? Seriously? It is strange that the United States has not yet turned into an absolutely penniless wasteland😂 You have a RECKONING ahead of you. The rest of the world will start to remember the insults... The West has committed a grand suicide
@@evgeniya7853 Honestly, I doesn't matter to me if one country imposes sanctions on another country, annexes territory, liberates territory, declares independence, revokes independence, if it is a democracy or an authoritarian state. As long as it is in accordance with international law. What can be considered 'international law' is either determined by treaties or by acknowledgement of the majority of the UN members. If such law would be enforced regardless of the status of a country, the world would be a better place. An if you ask: Yes. The Russian Federation has broken international law by invading Ukraine. If it was justified or not doesn't matter. It was unlawful.
Why do they “have to” mobilise? Who is forcing them? The easy option is to stop and have talks.
Mobilise to die is a bad option for the Ukraine youth. No way can Ukraine win on the battlefield so why go there to die for the West ! Negotiate and get the country back to living in some form of normality. The West started this conflict and are helping to keep the madness going. Its all corrupt as hell.
But then Zelenskii won't be able to kill off the remaining Ukranian men and replace them with African immigrants
Exactly - dont fall for it people, if someone tries to drag you out the front door to some War tell them to F off, if you go to jail so be it sit in jail until its over.
From America .. No more free money For Ukraine unless they start forcing men and Women's over 16 to fight ..
The recruitment offices are forcing them, at gun point. Who are tasked by Zelenzky and Co to do this. Why? Because the budget of Zelenski's government is 100% foreign "aid". That is to say they are bought and paid for. If the money stops, the government instantly collapses, so they do whatever their western owners tell them to do.
Ukraine has had a lot of volunteers. In fact, the biggest number of volunteers in modern history. They're all dead now. So, no more volunteers to be found anywhere in Ukraine anymore. Fact.
100% of the population including children, old people and women. Okay, 99%, deputies and their families are not going to fight.
RATS JUMPING SHIP ??
Didn't both Russia and Ukraine lost 700k troops in this war? Either from KIA, MIA, POW,WIA. I think the truth is coming out that Ukraine can't win this war the way they want. I personally believe that Ukraine is holding on by a thread. Once that thread breaks, we will see a mass turnaround on the lines.
The initial post and the replies are full of crap Maybe you should come to Ukraine and see for yourself instead of promoting Russian propaganda I have been in Ukraine for 2 years and 2 months and I know you are full of crap but it’s people like you spreading Russian propaganda that makes it hard for us to raise awareness of the true situation
That’s not true there’s still a shit ton siv div is part of a huge volunteer group they just use doctrine rotation
This is not a naval battle so attacking the Black Sea fleet is more about PR than any actual battlefield advantage for Ukraine.
One thing people may be over looking here, is, the kind of equipment you want to acquire, is reflective of the types of military conflicts you fight. In the West, for the last 60 years or so, we've primarily fought massive over match, one sided wars against developing nations and rebel groups. In this space, Western equipment doctrine has been fine. Why? It tends to save lives, because the enemy forces often do not have the capability to destroy these weapon systems reliably, or at all. An M1A2 Abrams is a phenomenal tank, when the guys you are fighting might have one RPG-29, for every 10,000 RPG-7s they have. The extra cost, means that tank is very secure against those old weapons. The dynamic changes though, when you're fighting a peer conflict. Cheap, reliable, mass producible, and 'good enough' is what wins big wars. The irony here is, Russia in the last decade, has begun moving towards a more western materiel acquisition doctrine. When you're fighting farmers and shepherds with AKs, maximizing casualty reductions are a worthwhile way to spend your defense budget. When you're fighting a nation that can fire 10,000 to 100,000 artillery shells in a day. Well. You need mass yourself, or you just get drowned in enemy ass.
You are correct , at least I think I understand what you’re saying . Russia does have more advanced tanks etc . T92’s I think . But I read that they are mass producing t72’s with updated tracking systems and radar . To the tune of 3 a day , 100 a month , and they get sent to Ukraine . The t92’s are saved for certain things but the main warfare comes from the more ready available t72’s . I might be wrong , but Russia is doing exactly what you said wins wars . USA did it in world war 2 with their tank, 1v1 it was at a disadvantage to the panther or tiger tanks , but having ten times the amount and having more mobility gave them the upper hand . 6to1 now means not a problem
Exactly! 💯
Willy for some reason entirely ignores or forgets the very facts you've pointed out. Throwing 100k shells at a western army would look entirely different with the complete western military apparatus in its back pocket to utilise. The russian military has always been similar in comparison to western material though, it's not called an arm's race for no reason. What's become entirely evident though is just how impotent their whole military complex truly is. From troops to machinery they've successfully bluffed the world these past 30 corrupt years.
That's right. The USA and NATO put on a good show against sandal wearing goat herders and 5th rate militaries, against a peer opponent and a nuclear superpower, not so much. Nobody in the West can match Russian missiles, they don't even have one hypersonic missile in active service.
I hope this make people wake up and realize how the soviets had the rught mindset in several aspects. From tank production, infroestructure to literally architecture knowledge. Those comy block are literal fortesses, and is the main reason cities are a slog. Cant imagine what a battle in a metropolitan area like LA will be like with structures falling onto each other Or just crumbling onto itself by artillery fire or demolition charges. Luckily for russia the west force it to realize it before it could westernize itself too much, such an ironic twist.
Ukraine will only lose more land and men as this war is prolonged. End this madness.
This is why Russia must leave and stop their war
@@treebear4620 "Russia would win, that's why Russia should leave" Sorry, what? Suffering of one nation never stopped actions of another
russia controls less land today than 2 years ago. what do you mean lose more?
I can't take a single thing that the UK intelligence says seriously they are the reason for some of the biggest jokes the shovels and washing machines have been some of the most entertaining and never get old.
How can Russia be so reliant on foreign technology when Russia has hypersonic missiles and the west does not?
You are a victim of westeren propaganda.That's all.
Lol you're so slow
We don't talk about this!
West needs resources. Russia is nice enough to sell those. But what should Russia do with those coupons (=money) they get for it? Just keep the coupons? No, of course trade the coupons for something they want. Since they buy those things with the coupons, they had no reason produce those themselves.
Russia manufactures its own chips or buys from China or other willing seller. I lived in a sanctioned country and we weren't shprt of anything. Money opens doors.
Europe has hurt itself more than Russia with the sanctions against the hand that feeds them energy. The US destroying the Nordstream gas pipeline had also increased Germany’s industrial decline. Incomprehensible strategic moves by the West.
Poor poor Europe. Putin is on his way to save them isn't he. Well. Isn't he?
The western oligarchs are responsible for the destruction of the west
Absolutely not in the long run. But if you strange named shill cant comprehend logic, thats how it is ^^
Seriously? You think the USA forcing Germany to buy its gas is “incomprehensible”? Money and power seem like reasonably comprehensible motives to me…
Oh bla bla bla. Russia isn't an exporter to Europe. They stopped buying Russian fuel a year ago. Russia doesn't make anything anyone wants.
We don’t hear recruitment being as much of a problem in Russia 😂😂😂 I wonder why that is 😂😂😂
They have 30,000 contract soldiers signing up every month.
Now we see videos of busses filled with kids in camo. Crazy how none of this had to happen
And ignore Ukraine's 12th mobilization 😂. 12th!
maybe because Russia has 4x bigger population?
Truly, such a senseless war. Slavs voluntarily choosing to cull each other so the n30l!b corps can move in later to fill the economic void caused by a demographic collapse. Hedgefunds and the DarkRockz salivating already. At the end, the big winners are always the same. The soldier may achieve the victory through his blood, hoisting his flag... but they arent the ones really winning.

Since the UK seized the property of some wealthy Russians, we’ve seen a massive sell off of top end properties and other assets, from many other nationalities. Londons top end market is now in serious decline. I imagine this same thing will happen with government bonds and assets. We may even have some African countries “appropriating” western assets as reparations payments. Interesting times!
It should have been a no brain decision. The seizure of foreign assets will undermine confidence in international markets. Redirection of investment earnings is an even dumber move. Legalization of theft does not inspire trust.
The City of London promising to hide savings from the taxman in the Caymans and so on, means they have a lot of other peoples money at their disposal. Stealing some of that, will diminish trust and eventually the amount of investment.
Yesterday may have been April Fool's Day but Zelensky and the collective West continue to be a fools today and every other day.
The economic plan described is a no go because the US and even more so the UK have no interest in Ukraine as a functioning sovereign state. The value of Ukraine to them is only in its ability to provide cheap cannon fodder equipped using local resources. The main objective is to inflict as much damage to the infrastructure, economy and population of the region as possible to ensure that A) The EU has a permanent problem on their eastern flank and thanks to the echo chamber politicians in charge will be forced to continuously funnel large resources into defense and B) that Russia even if or when it absorbs Ukraine will be stuck with the massive financial burden of restoring the absorbed territories and fighting scattered insurgencies. I understand that everyone wants to believe that their side are the good guys, but Willy, my man, the west have only selfish and deeply pragmatic goals in this war.

The manpower shortage is not due to people not volunteering, but people actually dying or being injured during the fighting in the past two years. They already had hundreds of thousands of personnel on their books in spring 2022, there is only one reason for them suddenly needing 500 000 + more - they simply have lost them to attrition.

And they are trying to get their family members outside of Ukraine as well. In conclusion, they simply have lost their soldiers. The centuries-old issue during wars...

Mate, i saw that video of Russian armor being destroyed, and what you need to bare in mind is this: Too much bloody editing. This is several different videos edited together, you can definitely see at least two lighter vehicles, possibly BMPs, come to a complete stop and burst into flames, but on at least two other occasions, the video immediately cuts the second the vehicle is hit, and on another, they claim the tank is knock out, but then it continues to roll on back into view of the camera with no apparent serious damage before the feed is cut.
Its a war, of course the Russians suffer casualties but the Ukrainians suffer more.
Thing is Russia gained a lot of ground... the mil-bloggers and mappers keep making correction showing, bigger... gains... Maps don't tell lies
weren't those top brass dismissals of the more flamboyant "skimmers" of western funding. Apparently the boys on the front found their profligacy a distasteful accompaniment to being bombarded with 5 ton bombs. Yes, It's austerity time for Kiev's elite: Only one (1) Lamborghini is permitted, and only one (1) bottle of Veuve Clicquot per meal. Hard times.
Hitting oil refineries makes no difference...a glut in supply just adds to the overall sale cost...so they end up making more, selling less That's the reason America told Ukraine to stop
plus an election year......

You must be talking about that deep strike into Russia . Ukraine does this … but Russia can do it so much worse … Ukraine keeps doing things that will worsen this conflict. I get it , fighting back is a must … but shorting rockets 1500km into Russia I feel will make things escalate much quicker … Kharkiv and Odessa are the next targets … and they will hit those areas with so much force now … all the meanwhile hitting Kyiv and every other power station Ukraine has , Ukraine already lost 80% capacity now from Fridays attacks
@@doctordetroit4339true. It doesn’t help the argument in US congress to keep prolonging the war if all it’s doing is harming existing cost of living pressures for Americans. Not a good way to get them on side and wanting to donate more of the reduced amount of money in their wallets

The whole sanction thing is as stupid as it gets. Russia & China are deep allies, and China is under pressure to be independent from anything in the west - they actively develop their own High Tech, and they make some amazingly interesting progress there. All those sanctions do is push the non-west aligned countries further into independence. Also, the west is amazingly nice into destroying trust into them - the whole "somehow but not really stealing Russian assets" is as stupid as it gets. In particular the "let's just freeze them, then use them as guarantees for bonds and Russia will once it loses agree to use them to pay the bonds". First, Russia is not losing. But more importantly: Any court will be mad once it stops laughing. Theft by law is theft, and the whole bond thing is an obvious attempt to work around the laws. EuroClear is likely bankrupt if they even pay out the interest because the idea that the interest "is not really owned by Russia" is another legal clusterf* - if I own the assets, I also have the rights to the proceeds of the assets. You are also extremely right on the cheap russian weapons. Mass manufacturing has a quality of it's own and while the west looks to the most complicated solution - it seems Russia is looking for the most (cost) effective. And it is not just cost - Ukraine is repeatedly complaining about maintenance issues while Russian "primitive" weapons seem to be better for field use. The west has forgotten how to wage a war that is intense, instead having gone for the most "compact" form of weapons, which somehow cost a LOT. Russia, SUPPOSEDLY, did the same - The T14 Armata is back to the drawing board because they realized that it is too fragile and - cough - not efficient in costs. Gratulations to Ukraine here for all their ad hoc cheap and innovative weapons - now, Russia will replicate most, better, cheaper, mass produced - but Ukraine is responsible to change the face of war. Drones, "remote controlled" torpedo ships. Noone saw this coming and they are VERY cost efficient. Everyone laughs are Russia for loosing ships in the Black Sea fleet. Idiots - every navy would have those losses, those are totally new ways to wage naval war and man, they are like torpedoes originally: navies have no idea how to handle them. The only reason the US is not getting losses is the lack of ships close to an enemy.
Yeah China is real "high tech"... Have you seen their latest homegrown CPU chips benchmarked? They're 20 years behind and the systems run like a Pentium from 2001. I wouldn't be getting too excited about Chinas technical ability, there is a reason the entire world uses Intel and AMD

Unfortunately, it's kinda hard to get people to volunteer to fight a war that they can see is a losing proposition ! People aren't stupid and see through the WW2 style propaganda !
Any returning survivors from the front come home with major parts missing.
Keep in mind Australia WWI anti-conscription votes. Those who volunteered and endured frontline battles informed those back home that war is not at all 'glorious' and they wanted only volunteers to join then, not people who against their will were forced to fight. They wanted 'reliable' personnel in their battlegroups,
The white feather brigade kept up delivering them daily to young men, rural, primary industry with families of young children.
Ustralia foughtvww1 and ww2 with volunteers as did new zealand, neither coubtry ever exprienced a troop shortage they had an over supply of people willing which effected the war industry and many times led to enlistment being refused..... Conscription was never needed. Australians sent more volunteers per capita and the us or cNada sent conscripts per capita..

Yea we don’t hear about how many men are actually dying for Ukraine . I’d say like you said at least 500k I feel like Russia is probably at least 200 to 300k But with continuous replenishment in the number of 25k at any given time. And he just signed a decree I think for like 150k to 300k more to be called up (might be wrong though,only saw headline didn’t have time to read)

3:40 What you said about western military industrial complex being beholdent to shareholders instead to the actual soldiers is very true and often overlooked
What Willy entirely ignores is the fact western military gear is designed to be used by western nations in conjunction with the greater western nations military apparatus.
Disagree on the naval drones as game changers in this conflict (though as a power dependent on it's blue water fleet for power projection, I might be worried were I US military) - they've been very effective at a tactical level and good propaganda tools for embarrassing the Russians. However, from the beginning it has been overwhelmingly a land war and the black sea fleet never had the necessary resources to seriously participate - a landing operation in or around Odessa would only be viable in the event of a total Ukrainian collapse. They have, perhaps, restricted Russian ability to use it's naval platforms to launch missiles, but they have plenty of land and air platforms to do that and most of their missile launching ships remain intact.
wellwell, now the westie naval ships will also be getting the same treatment

Map update.......natokraine is farked.
Comparing impact of boats to that of FPV drones and FABs while not mentioning hypersonic missiles, thermobaric artillery, remote mining, electronic warfare just shows how clueless this guy is.
I've recently seen a video where Ukrainians show a lost Russian FPV drone. But what was so special about it? It was controlled by wire, not by radio signals. Downsides are obvious to this: limited range and maneuver. But the upside is - no jamming possible. So, if you are near the combat zone, it is very useful. Now, the west likes expensive, flashy toys. However, manufacturing these requires a lot of time and resources and losin one is a massive loss! If you invest in something less complicated on the other hand, you will have the asset to continue fighting, even when the enemy is down to scraping the bottom of the barrel. As for mobilization - when an average Ukrainian sees graveyards being filled up, losing parts of Ukraine regularly and at the same time hearing that they are winning... Seems hard to find people to fight in such a war...
Willy finally reached the answer. The problem was always the another N word: Numbers Numbers provided redundancy. In war things gets used and gets destroyed. The higher tech and cost of a system inevitably reduces the number available. A 6k western made artillery is most likely superior than a $600 Russian made one, but you can do a lot more with 10 cheaper shells. Technology and tactics will only get you so far, at the end even the most advanced weapons still need the numbers to make the difference. The technological advantage of the west isn’t as much of a unreachable gap as people believe. Even air superiority requires numbers. During the first gulf war, the US coalition enjoyed overwhelming numerical advantage of their combined Air Force. Unless NATO is willing to commit a good portion of it’s Air Force, there’s little chance to match the Numbers with superiority technology.
NATO shells aren’t even superior though Look up Koalitsya S heavy range vs any western artillery it’s faster more range and more accurate

@@rhitee417 i swear they’ve got 14 year olds to do it
NATO expansion has always caused conflicts..Ukraine is just another example The mistake is misjudging Russia's commitment to resist
13:30---Recall that "Soldier X" said in that same controversial viddy in which he opined "Ukraine is losing the war" he also said that Russia was unable to "find the schwerpunkt" or focus of attack. Yet their current strategy of "nibbling" at bits and pieces of Ukrainian territory at various points along the front is pretty much the same as the Allies' in WW I. At any rate whatever The Bear does it's gonna be costly to men and equipment in this combat environment.
Also doesn’t help that the west became dangerously complacent and weak. Not specifically America either. Though, as a US citizen, our government has become incredibly corrupt and inefficient. That said, America doesn’t have too much of a horse in this fight imho as we aren’t in danger of being overrun in the same way as Poland and the Baltics. We, meaning the US, should’ve pushed contingents east years ago into Poland, Lithuania, and Finland. War has shown so far that Russia doesn’t have the capability to make a real crack against Europe though. At least not with the US and our abundance of stealth aircraft. But the US also has problems over Taiwan. For the US, I think Ukraine is a very bloody side-show that was a waste of our resources. We succeeded in merely increasing the body count and having Russia waste steel and gas. Neither Ukraine or Russia has shown any capability to go on the offensive properly. Either from lack of assets or a lack of strategy. Sorry for rambling.
@@ThrainiteDon't worry about rambling. Anyway FWIW my perspective is that NATO provoked the war by not only continuing to exist after Warsaw Pact disbanded but by expanding relentlessly eastward and seducing Kyiv to join so it appears we disagree on that. Agree about the inability of Russia to beat the West plus huge waste of men and resources in this war so two out of three ain't bad. Cheers!
@@jonshive5482 I tacitly agree on the first point. NATO is/was pointless. But I will say the west is complacent. They kept on believing the US would solve all their external problems and not have to actually put in effort to achieve their own geopolitical goals. Hell, for the last 10 years I've said that Germany, England, and France, are old news. The US should have forged deep relationships with Poland, Lithuania, and Finland, since they actually have a backbone and are willing to maintain the peace by preparing for war. Leave decadent western Europeans to wither as they will. It would've been better for everyone if America and Russia had established proper spheres for a balance of power like after Napoleon. It wasn't ten years ago when that news article came out regarding the German Air Force where they have maybe 10 air-worthy combat aircraft out of 70. That is with an economy larger than all of Russia! Victory defeated Europe after the wall fell. lol But I think Russia will win this war and the claims of their losses are greatly exaggerated. I think the cost in lives isn't anything to shirk, but I'd wager it is typical of the losses that would be expected when both sides have armor, anti-air, and ISR. To be fair, the west obviously had no strategy either. The fact that years down the road of this war they failed to enforce a system of basic military training is telling. Soldier X claimed a lot of conscripts are still filtering in with maybe two weeks of training. It is pitiful. Takes at least 5 to 6 months for your average US or Russian to complete training and get to their first unit. They're really throwing away a lot of valuable lives. Combat troops cannot be replaced like rifles. German, Russia, and America, learned that the hard way 75 years ago after all.
@@ThrainiteYeah, that's pretty well my own take on the situation. At this point it appears the West is committing cultural suicide with its open borders idiocy, bashing its own heritage and spitting on its heroes.Whatever its faults The Bear respects its heritage and honors its heroes. (So does Ukraine, which makes me wonder if they really know they're getting into should they win; perhaps some of them hate Russia so much they'll do anything to avoid being under their power.) It's a fine mess we've got on our hands.
Russia attacks using very, very small squads... to small for Arty... and only after the Ukrainians have been softened up. If these attacks fail, its because Ukraine has fed more meat into the grinder for stand off weapons... Its not Russia taking heavy loses.
