Hats off to the reporter for actually going along to show us this. Damn good pilots
He wasn't even in the Frontline, probably reporting from hundreds of miles away
Pilots like ghost of Kyiv 🤣🤣🤣

@@mikele9878 russias about to get steamrolled, cope harder
Why? He's a coward.
Just loved his response “ if your frightened you should stay at home “ ❤
What a dumb question. "Are you afraid?' duh. Of course any human would be afraid in that circumstance. And he was forced to then answer in a way to overlook that fear, by denying it. Most of those pilots probably just don't want to think about their fear, in order to do their jobs,, which they do regardless. This reporter only forced that pilot to have to revive his fear and have to go through the process again of denying it, in order to go back up

These brave men deserves all the help they need.
Yup you should be the first one on the frontline

Man they have some serious skill and nerves of steel and balls of tungsten seriously these guys deserve major respect
Respect. 🇺🇦

Absolutely!
"If you're frightened then you should stay home" That pilot is gangster AF.
He means Col. Vindman. The only Ukrainian not fighting.
@@KaiserBlade Vindman is an American, I do not know what Trumpists obsession is with this guy. I think trumpy’s are still dumpy over losing 2020 so biggly.
He really is. Not those Hollywood scumbags Piece of Sh#t's that think they are bada$$. Like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt even Steven Seagal. I hate actors like that. I really do hate them.
My hats off to these brave Ukrainian chopper pilots. Slava Ukraini!💙💛
And let’s be real - they’re flying absolute boxes of shit. They’re clunky, slow, and virtually unprotected. This is like taking a 30 year old Toyota courier van, slapping some rocket pods to it and then charging across a modern battlefield. The courage is unmatched.

Thing is, people were saying the same thing about F16 (training taking too much time for it to be useful) already 6 months ago. If we had given those planes to Ukraine back then, UA would have completed the entire training by now.
Possibly and if we woulda had a naval blockade around Cuba soon as Putin hit Ukraine they'd be out of the country by now
Unfortunately there is a lot going on behind the scenes that you and I don't know about. Each nation has to assess their national interests, which change, sometimes rather quickly. Sometime those interests converge and at other times they are divergent, only to come together again months later. I don't trust our politicians. But I do trust the Pentagon. Slava Ukraine. Slava Heroyam!
NO. You dum-dum. Helicopters are flying death traps for warriors. You pretty much need a ghillie suit on horseback to invade a country these days. It can't be done, is my point.
@@stefanschleps8758reminder that the Republicans (who have conspired with Russia in the recent past) are considering cutting all funding to Ukraine
@@Cajek2 Well in that case I think we should gather everything we have and every able bodied person in America should make arrangements to get to Ukraine as soon as possible to help them fight the russkies. We can't rely on the government to do this, it's too important!
1:41 - The brave pilot, putting his life on the line every single day, is confused by the question, if he has any fear. This is the definition of courage. Give Ukraine Jets and Helicopters

I ❤️ it, when he said, if you scared stay at the house, that was wonderful!.
@@davidmorrisii69 A little bit of typical Ukrainian courage. We in the west are used to expressing our emotions but in Eastern Europe a man just does what he needs to do without much fuss.

Why no live combat footage we had better coverage of Vietnam with a third of the technology we have today. Ukraine is the most corrupt country on Earth and that's where Joe goes to launder his money
It takes courage to cross a street in Manhattan. The Ukrainian Pilots have "ice" running through their veins. I have so much respect for the entire Ukrainian Forces, amazing people. Slava Ukraine..

Pilot is a champ. This is the mindset you need to have during war. Accept death as a possibility and defend your land. No time to be scared sitting around. Slava Ukraini from Oregon, USA
I hope he knows he’s gonna die in that cold war chopper 😅.
@JZ's BFF It's a possibility. I'd say probably not on amphetamines though.
@JZ's BFF you know what their Drug is to fight ? .... The Dream of a free democratic Ukraine that is part of the EU. That is their drug to keep fighting and hell... they going to accomplish that dream
Not like he has any choice
"If you're frightened, you should stay at home" "I don't need a ride,I need ammunition" These tough as nails people deserve every dollar or equipment the Western allies give and more. Their freedom is our freedom.

I wish I had an ounce of courage the fighting Ukrainians have. Holy shit that was intense. And I'm just watching it, can't even imagine being there.
The Black Hawk's first flight was October 17th 1974. That is nearly 50 years ago. To be fair, I believe they are still in production. Some are new, some are retired. There are fairly new variants. It is a proven platform that has been around a good while.
Outstanding courage. In this war the Ukraine soldier fights for home and people and those who fall can be said to have lived a beautiful and pure life while the invader will just rot.
Has the USA ever invaded a country? Or are you blind to that because you buy all the propaganda?
Lifer generals and their "takes a long time to train" crowd. Set free the Ukrainian Leopards! Let them hunt and attack.
As how poetic🌸🌈❤🤔👋 unless you realize Ukraine's being fought for not to protect its ppl but rather to protect its illegal operations such as money laundering, human traffiking, bio labs ( chemz tested on its own ppl) for drug companies cash, bank accounts of Clinton podesta obummer Biden Pelosi etc, And the Ukrainian ppl have told of the atrocities committed upon them by the Ukrainian govt. having their towns shelled, ppl beaten starved and shot.

I am an engineer. I develop software for various organizations of our country and abroad and do research on science. You can understand why I am saying this by reading my entire article. In the beginning I have my humble respect for you. Think, you hit a rock somewhere, what happened? Nothing was created but something was broken. When an engineer builds a device he builds up the whole device from the smallest chip of the device to the whole device with the perfect experiment and calculation. Even then, there is an error somewhere and the device gets damaged after a few months or years. If it is not possible to make a 100% perfect instrument even after so many calculations and experiments, then how did this perfect universe be created on its own. The functions of the various organs of the human body are so perfect and perfect that no human can ever discover such a device. These wonderful people and other creatures were created by their own ? According to all the Abrahamic religions (Islam, Judaism, Christianity) and Hinduism (Vedas) God is one, he has no image, no sculpture, nothing like him to see in the universe. According to the Islam, no vision can capture God. Now the question is, has God chosen any religion for us? The religion you practice may not be God's chosen religion. Then how to find the right religion. I will tell you the easiest way. The Almighty Creator knows all things that are going on in our minds. He can see and hear every creature in the universe . The Creator is very holy. If in a pure state of your body and in a very simple heart (passionate and emotional) you ask him(God) for something, he does not make you return. If you ask him for the right religion, He will surely show you the right path. If you do not believe me, remember Allah when you are in danger and say, O my true Creator, save me from this danger. Thus, once, twice, five times, if you pray to the Creator, I am 100% sure that your prayers will be accepted and granted. But you have to make sure that God is one, and you must not pray to any of his idols. There is only one religion acceptable to the Creator. You will be greatly astonished if you hear the concept of god in Islam. Besides my profession I research on comparative religion. Islam is the only religion on this planet that can give you logical answers to all of your questions regarding god. You may get angry while I am speaking about Islam. Please be patient and read the entire article carefully. All that media shows about Islam is not always true. The holy book of Islam is the Quran revealed by god where god challenged all the humanity collectively to write a book somewhat like Quran. God enriched this book with the highest linguistic ornaments and literature. People(Muslim and non Muslim) are trying from 14 hundreds year back to write a chapter like Quran in Arabic but they shamefully failed. For these reason Muslim people is increasing more than five times than Christianity. This book is rich in moral lesson and scientific fact Like 1. Big bang 2. Universe is expanding 3. The volume of the universe is endless 4. Moon has no light of it’s own. 5. Sun is rotating. 6. Embryology 7. Male sperm is responsible for human sex. 6. Main part of the sperm fertilize woman’s egg. 8. The mountain hinder the movement of the earth surface. 9.Female bee is the leader of the hive. 10. Water is the main element of life.11. There is a difference called barsaque between sweet water and salt water that’s why sea water doesn’t mix with river water. 12. Water cycle and so on that science proved in the previous centuries. You may test me by reading the book whether I am true or false.I want to remind you that this book was written 14 hundreds years ago and the historians and even the criticizers of Islam are certifying that every word of Quran is unchanged from 14 hundreds years ago. you may think I am advertising Islam but I am calling you to the actual god. If you don’t believe me you can use the way I mentioned above to draw the attention of god. I have hundreds of people who prayed to different gods and idols to full fill their wishes but their prayer was not granted. When they prayed to the god of Islam they experienced different miracles and their wishes were fulfilled by Allah and they converted to Muslim. You may think they experienced miracles! These are stupid words.That’s why I ask you to pray to the actual god for several times in pure and emotional heart and wait for god’s response. God has created us to test who is the best of us in action.Jesus was a messenger of God ,not God. Jesus could not do anything without God. I will suggest you to study comparative religion and you will come to know the truth .May God guide you to the right path .I am requesting you to watch the following videos that will change your life and you will feel that you have reborn again. Please store these video links in your device and watch them whenever you can make some time. May peace be upon you.

Ukrainians in this horrible war are the most impressive people I ever had the chance to witness. Women and children who had to flee the country are already returning to support their family and country.

Yeah, the Ukrainians will go down as legendary warriors. Imagine if these scrappy warriors has the equipment they needed? They could end this war sooner but they are forced to fight with both hands tied behind their backs while Russia terrorizes their kin. They should have been training Ukrainians on F16 and other Western equipment months ago. But Putin the war criminal keeps getting veto’s because the west is too afraid of hurting his feeling. He’s the invading, land stealing, kidnapping terrorist. He shouldn’t have a veto.

Unfortunately Russian propaganda is working overtime to convince people in the west to vote against aid. I worry that they succeed and Ukraine is abandoned, they need our help and we should do whatever we can. Ukraine deserves to be free as much as the rest of us.

Pilots being interviewed kzhead.info/sun/mc9ugMyngqCVgHk/bejne.html
Skeptics: It would take at least 6 months to train a pilot to fly the F-16. 6 months from now: If we had started training those pilots 6 months ago ....
Gotta start somewhere!!!! If they liberate Crimea, They will need air power to hold it ! Lets go !!!! Come on !
No as some very experienced fighter pilots have said even less 2-4 months to train already experienced pilots

That looks scary to drive, damn!
God bless all Ukrainian support from Philippines
I'm trying to imagine what a pilot who's that skilled, who's flown over 100 missions of this type, could do with an Apache helicopter.
Probably about the same. US forces haven't had to deal with credible anti aircraft threats. The apache would have to operate the same way if it didn't want to eat a missile. The possible benefit could be more accurate area fire of unguided munitions with GPS and advanced fire control computer.
@@Texas240 and little bit more distance to the enemy
@@Neuzahnstein - that's the catch 22,though. With a helicopter, the only way to get more range is to gain more altitude. It's always a tradeoff. Gaining more altitude to engage at greater range means exposing the helicopter to radar guided SAMs that have a longer range than the shoulder launched SAMs that they'd have to deal with if they remain lower but have to get closer. An apache would be limited to similar tactics, ranges, and weapons (unguided rocket) that is shown in the video if it didn't want to eat a missile. Our guys haven't had to deal with this type of anti air coverage. If the US were fighting this war, we'd throw enough jets and cruise missiles up at the same time as the helicopters and artillery would be supporting tanks and infantry. SAM radar sites are less of a problem if they're overwhelmed by targets, are destroyed by those targets, or simply don't turn the radar in to avoid being destroyed. Infantry fired SAMs are less of a problem if that infantry has to pick up a rifle or RPG instead to deal with a more imminent problem. Unfortunately, Ukraine simply doesn't have the amount of machines and command and control to support such combined arms operations involving aircraft. Even in the US scenario, we'd still lose jets and pilots just as we did in Iraq 1 when they had credible air defenses. Well, they had air defenses for the first few days until they'd been destroyed by the overwhelming air power thrown at them. Then again, unlike Russia, Iraq had no credible air force to attempt to fend off our attacks.
Why don’t nato just join the fight with Russia and teach them some civilization
@@jingyang2016 Biden called that World War 3 just after the full invasion started. Helping Ukraine defend itself by giving weapons seems to be working, though it would be better if we gave them enough equipment to use NATO techniques. Britain, the US and Russia agreed to defend Ukraine in the Budapest memorandum... Though the technique was bringing it up at the UN.
“If you’re frightened you should stay at home” dang.
Thats why men are men And women are women
Too bad so many Americans would just stay home, they put the Ukrainian flag in their profile and think they are helping lol.

You keep reciting those fairy tales to yourself, maybe just one day Grimm's will publish them in the Children's and Household Tales. 🇷🇺 Make Ukraine Russia Again 🇷🇺 ⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️ 🔵🔵🔵 SLAVA RUSSIA 🔵🔵🔵 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
If the pilot training started when the war broke out, then they've already be master pilots by now. Next best time to start training is today.
What about support personnel? It doesn't matter if they can fly them, if they can't maintain them.
We were doing the same thing in Vietnam with Hueys
Great piece of journalism 👌🙏 keep safe..🇺🇦🇬🇧
Yes, keep safe🇷🇺
And they cannot eject if the chopper goes down….TRUE HEROES!!🙏🏻👏👏👏💪🤩🤩🤩
As a helicopter pilot with 4 ,000 hrs ( VN vet) my hat is off to those fellow pilots.
Get these extremely brave heroes the weapons they need.
What they need is to surrender. They've already been given 113 billion in US tax dollars and still can't take back "their" territory.
Six months for the F-16 training is what I estimated too. But I've heard Ukrainian pilots, of which there aren't many, started training on simulators many months ago already. This should shorten the training time significantly, I believe. Also, the earlier the training starts, the sooner Ukraine can field these jets, and the sooner the war ends, lowering the number of casualties on both sides.
they need AH64s and F16s now using that old Russian crap is detrimental to their health. the Ukrainians would pick up the US gear in no time whatsoever they are smart cookies.
Some of that training time deals with tactics & other areas of knowledge that experience Ukrainian pilots have already mastered. While there is a lot to learn with a complex fighter aircraft like the F16, the Ukrainians have proven to be highly-motivated & highly-intelligent warriors, so I have a hunch that they wouldn't need 6 months. Also, eventually, after Russia has been kicked out of Ukraine & Ukraine joins NATO, the Ukrainian military will have to completely switch over to NATO equipment, and - since Ukraine will still have Russia as their neighbour - the Ukrainian military will need to have a lot of F16s in their arsenal. So, NATO may as well train Ukrainian pilots on the F16 & give Ukraine a large number of F16s now.
By the time west tank comes war will be over... 🤗 thats west plans...
Xxxl
It’s the goddam mechanics who aren’t trained …plus teaching the avionics
nice piloting skills
Wow! What a fantastic sight, this looks like more good news to Ukraine...The Whole World is Witnessing some kind of Miracle from the People and Soldiers of Ukraine, their Strength and Determination is Extraordinary and has never been Witnessed before. Someone from up Above must be Watching out for this Country and its Leader President Zelenksy.....God Bless Ukraine Forever..xx
A salute to these brave aerial warriors. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Forever.
Nice to see Lt. Dog still supervising the loading of the missiles.
Some incredible flying
Truly appreciate and heroic pilot..God save all Ukrainian that willing to give life to protect Ukrainian people..
Iraq and Afghanistan has no comparison to this war. Two different animals.
Amazing how people don't known the reality of war. I was in every conflict since the 80s including Ukraine and those warriors need everything to fight the World's number one Enemy.
👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼‼️
You were in _”every_ conflict since the 80s?” Did you clone yourself, to be all around the globe simultaneously?
you are one of the most dangerous people in this world from the way you talk. I think most have been seeing these Nato versus goat herders conflicts in the third world and now they don't know the difference. Russia is not Iraq, Syria or Libya. They have the highest capability of destruction in the whole World, actually more than all Nato put together and you are dreaming of defeating them.
China?
I walked uphill to school and uphill back home.
I am used to fly with MI 17.18 in the Himalayas. All my close friends died in it. They were very qualified. My prayers are with those Ukraine hero pilots 🙏
Are you Nepali
Good report Anderson the silverfox
Very brave pilots, i saw a video about them flying in over the black sea to take injured troops and deliver medicines etc to the fighters in bakhmut when they were totally surrounded by the russians, you have to have a very strong heart to do this. Gods speed to them all. They do deserve to get better helicopters and also planes tonhelp them winthis war..
I think you might mean Mariupol and yes I totally agree with you.
@@braveworld2707 sry i did mean mariupol
Courage? They are flying low and fire their missiles and run. Not much courage there.
@@TheRealBillBob They're helping defend their country from invading Rusnazis and taking every precaution to stay alive so they can keep contributing under dangerous circumstances. All it takes is one hidden soldier on the ground with some AA and they could be shot down so course flying these sorties is courage.
@@TheRealBillBob Of course, here we have Bill bob the internet hero, a sometimes master of online counterpropaganda and unapologetic fighter for lost and amoral causes. I salute you, Sir Bill. To fight the truth, in the hills and on the beaches, never will you surrender your unsound beliefs. Your kind is becoming rarer by the day. Soon, your types will be but an unpleasant aftertaste in the collective civilised world.
If they could have the training would be a great asset
Nothing can help them, unless NATO joins and they won't.
@@TheRealBillBob NATO scared of mutual death but so is Russia 😅. Putin is crazy though so I don’t think he’ll hesitate to send a nuke if things go completely bad for Russia.
@@TheRealBillBob that could mean world war 3, nuclear conflict, and the end of all civilization on Earth with poisoned land from radiation that will not dissipate after thousands of years. You do know that right? You know what nuclear bombs do, do you?
Phantom mic?
The ability of Ukrainians to stay positive, optimistic, and extremely brave in the face of such adversity inspires me everyday to do the same. Glory to the heroes of Ukraine, we will always support you. Much respect.
I never new Racist nazis and fascist are Heroes the western media has you all brainwashed into thinking Ukraine is a good nation just look at how the media cover it before the war they opening reported about how racist the country was also just look at the reports coming out of countries taking refugees the amount of racism and trouble they are causing
*How is Tom, SuPPorting the Ukraine???*
What choice do they have? Where is their help? Everything they get is less and late, maybe too late. We've failed them. If Ukraine falls we don't lift a finger for the rest of Europe. We let Russia have ALL the Soviet Block countries back. If they can have Ukraine, they can have the rest... why not? Chechnya, Georgia, Croatia.... Ukraine? Poland? Finland better be getting ready for that war again. What a plum East Germany must look right now, just ripe for the oligarchs (that are left) to pluck it. I left out Belarus but they kept their dictator. Ukraine ousted their Russian puppet. 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ukraine isn't asking us to fight their fight, they are asking us to help them arm themselves so they can defend against this attack on their right to the freedom and the life they built a long time ago. Not helping Ukraine is a tactical error.
💙💛
@@shihtzusrule9115 Russia would not engage in a open conflict with nato it would be a death sentence for them and they know it the only chance they would have would be China and even then it’s a far stretch Ukraine was not a issue until NATO made it one Russia warned the whole world what was going to happen they didn’t listen
The HIPs are extremely old, pretty amazed theyre still being used
Excellent reporting!! Thanks to Anderson for bringing this to us! These pilots are heroes, they have real balls!
Incredible. In awe. Honestly. 👊
Salute these brave hearts. These are the heroes.
I fly like these guys every day!!!!
"if you're frightened you stay at home" - that's courage.
2:00 those invisible mics are really good ! !! 😂😂🤣🤣
Yes the soldiers are brave for certain , and it’s amazing how much they are doing with what they have . However the reporter who did not. We’d to be in the helicopter has huge balls as well for putting bud life in the line to let us see a glimpse of what’s actually going on.
💙💫💛
So many brave British journalists in Ukraine. Reporting the truth at risk of their lives!
If only the UK would actually...do something to help Ukraine. They have munitions, fighter jets and billions of pounds they could send...But they'd rather us foot the bill instead.
@@jaobidan2358 UK has provided more than the US pr. capita. We love the US contribution, don't get me wrong, but the UK has provided alot as well. Not only equipment but also the training of over 20 000 Ukrainian soldiers. Lets not fight over who has given more. Lets just give them all that they need.
@@tony_1980 Bullshit and you even up voted your own comment.
@@jaobidan2358 There are RAF cargo planes fling to an airport close to the Polish / Ukrainian bored almost every day
@@jaobidan2358 Bullshit? Ok. Like a standard american, ignoring facts.
