Multiple Defensive Positions Fall - Tank Tactics FAIL - Ukraine War Map Analysis & News Update
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

China and Russia are a threat? Who has 800 bases? Who's had the most wars?
They are a threat, but not militarily. They are a threat to the US because the people may start to wonder why the Russians and Chinese people have a better standard of living than the richest country in the world. I am not saying there are no poor in Russia or China but people can work 2 jobs in the US and still be unable to afford to live. Some people work and live out of their cars. North Korea spends all its money on defense and nothing on its people and they are called a third-world country, the US does the same and they are the richest country in the world.
They brought a tank to a shovel fight, Rookie mistake...
LOL 😁
The Abrahams are very heavy tanks and consume lot of fuel, not practicle

@@satish8299 also those Russian shovels are so uncivilized and rude to them. I was expecting a fair fight. Outrageous! 🙃
How can Ukraine need 500,000 soldiers and an acute “manpower shortage” if they only lost 31,000 soldiers?
Zelensky was on coke when he was in that interview
Zelensky missed a couple of zeros.....
Tough question
Russian military estimates 500k Nazis were destroyed
Did you think of that question all on your ownsome? That's awesome

At least you know Challenger pronouns are they/them.
MBT survival rate: M1A1 - 80% Blyatmobil - 100%
At this rate Russia will run out of flags! Two years ago everyone commented how shut the russian tanks were, after west sent all javelins they had. Two years later challeys and abrams suffering the same fate and are quietly removed from the front line.
it´s the same thing AK-47 vs. M16, both of them are quiet deadly
Ukraine is winning on the battlefield because Russia is losing more and more planes and tanks. And Ukraine does not lose anything simply because it has nothing.🤫
@@TheSeneca16 90%+ of the casualties are caused by artillery, not small arms.
@@kobodera826180% not 90%.
I love that bit about Russia running out of flags. 😂
I support Russia because it is fighting against nations that have done a lot of harm in the world like the United States, Germany, France, the United Kingdom etc... the Ukrainian leaders have allowed the clashes between the NATO and Russia are on their territories but I want Ukrainian leaders to realize that the West and America are using them for their interests, but not Ukraine. I love Ukraine, I want it to become what it was, Zelensky is fighting for American and Western interests, why not fight for peace?
Well said.
Hey Willy I remember when you said the Russian soldiers were unprofessional drunks, you still feel that way?
The funny thing is that somehow people think there is a drinking culture change because of a border. Is Ukraine any different than the countries that surround it?

It took 2 years for him to know the difference between training video and actual battle footage
@@qman8816 all other nation's soldiers drink nothing but lemonade. This is known.
Actually, Willy has recently said the Russians have improved a lot and are doing much better.

Russians learn very quickly and their technique evolves rapidly. Therefore, the Abrams are inferior to the T-90 on the battlefield. The Abrams cannot inflict losses on the Russians and only bear losses themselves.
@@championknife That's not what has been shown. The Abrams is an old piece of crap the US Army has been trying to ditch for 20 years for a better system (Marines already did; that's where Ukraine got theirs: the Marines clapped-them out and then gave them to Ukraine, lol) but corruption keeps it in production. That doesn't mean its inferior/superior to the T-90, as we've seen very few of any "modern" tanks in this war. The only take-away we've learned about tanks in this war is that they are not effective, no matter the generation/price tag, when 17yo FPV drone pilots tweaking on Red Bull can take them out with an RPG-7 rocket duct-taped to an $800 drone. Well, unless you build a barn around it and turn a multi-milllion dollar tank into a mobile artillery/APC, at which point, why even use a tank? Doctrine for tanks is being re-written on both sides as we speak
Australia should cancel our Abrams order and invest in $50 drones
No 😂
@@zaynevanday142 if NATOs failures in Ukraine have taught us anything it's that a few Abrams or F35s aren't going to help us 1 little bit We need to an easy to outfit military that can offer detergent against advancement while supply chain issues can be fixed...drones bog down advancing troops Nothing will bring our industry back though...and that is a massive threat
😂
Mate 😂😂😂😂
Agreed, but after the tapans and the collins class subs what is guaranteed?
Ukraine has a habit of imposing dead line on Russian operations to create a PR campaign out of thin air. Even during Bahkmut, they also said Russia wants the city before or by victory day and Western media outlets keep running with this date as if Ukraine won a major victory in Bahkmut. Even though we now know Ukraine lost so much resources in Bahkmut that their offensive was negatively affected as a result.
actually its the russian command that said russian army need to take chasiv yar by victory day.
This war in Ukraine is going terribly wrong for the western interests 😂
For both sides to be honest, Russia is learning but man the incompetence and lack of intelligence they had. They fucked up so bad that they had to rebuild their military and they are running 24/7 production speak volumes on how much of a hole they are in. They realize they fucked up in their calculations. Meanwhile in the USA we aren’t in a war setting or majority of the population thinking about going to war. Here half the population knows there’s a war going on in Europe but they are so busy with their lives to pay attention to other countries. The other half of Americans wanna support Ukraine, Israel & Taiwan and some against it. Personally am interested on how Russia will end up with Iran, China & North Korea in trade or military deals. Will they be in debt or what resources are they gonna give up.

@@mt8956 No war survives first contact (Drones/ISR/EW). The Russian learned quickly and now dominate the air/arty and manpower spheres. As for Russia screwing up, I disagree as JUST one look at American/EU production capacity (MIC) was never there from the start. Russia MIC works for the government where the USA/EU MIC works for their shareholders. SAM production in the West is tiny (Patriots 600-1000 yr) and same with Arty (28k/month) for the USA. I agree Russia screwed up the first part not going HARD (150k troops at start) and expecting some dialogue from Ukraine/West but once bitten (Turkey), twice shy. As for Russia being in debt again I disagree as the Chinese and Iran get trade in return for their products (wheat/oil/minerals/other for chips/drones/machine tools/etc) and BRICS is a independent of the USA dollar dominance. The world (global south/Asia) is waking up to the fact that the USA lost it's way 30 years ago. JUST think if the USA would have spent their capital rebuilding your country between 1989 and 2024 with Road/Bridges/Electric Grids and STEM research (35 Trillion in debt). USA "Do as we say (Russia bad for attacking Ukraine) and not as we do (Iraq/Syria/Libya/etc)". Rules for thee and not for me......7 Billion people are finished with your countries Hubris and have moved on. IMO of course.

@@leetshots you dont understand, it will take russia 40 years to take all of ukraine at the rate they are going, and they will be bankrupt well before then with putin printing money to finance his war with his economy destroyed. why do you think ukraine hitting russian oil refinery, russia doesnt have that many and it creates a huge bottle neck for crude and russia will have to shut down wells which is expensive. cuts into the only money maker russia has. russia has nothing else the world wants currently.
My country sends 61 B to a country that can't "win", while here at home: my kid's school district is 20 million in the hole, kid cant find mental health care, and my aging parent struggles to find health care. That's the tragedy

Youre the gullible one if you imagine those 61B would go to anything you remotely care about if not Ukraine. Im not American, but id also prefer my country to send more stuff to them where its possible. Now, no i dont want to tell you as an american what to do. But i want you to think. When or if Russia wins, wont they go after others after 5-10 years? AS they bloody fucking do once the general public forgets?
@@RAEJDER you think the west is stupid, why do you think they have ramped up military industry production. russian economy is taking a huge hit and putin used up his reserve fund and put the russian budget into deficit. it means putin printing money to finance his war. thats gonna cause problems with inflation. if it goes to hyperinflation russian economy will callapse like ussr. every military aid makes war more expensive for russia. so time is not on the russian economy side. russia is also suffering huge casualties, its why russians passed a law where 14 years olds can work in factories now. they lost alot of working age men and have a labour shortage. its russia' s last war with their demographic decline.
@@RAEJDER you fail to realize inflation is the biggest weapon and was always the biggest weapon. the economic war is the more important war. its why americans said with lloyd austin the goal of america is so russia never wages war again in the future. if ukraine wins russia just invades again in 10 years and 10 years after that because their economy and industrial capacity is intact. but if you destroy the russian economy and industrial capacity by making it more expensve while putin prints money, then inflation will turn russia into the ussr. and they will never wage war again. thats the goal, economic callapse of russia so it breaks apart into smaller countries. thats why the economic war is more important and why they have to make the war more and more expensive so putin prints so much money he cant afford to print that hyperinflation will callapse the russian economy. this is a cheap war for the usa compared to afghan and iraq wars, and the us military doesnt have to deploy 1 enlisted us soldier in ukraine to destroy russia economically. russia is bleeding money and the longer it goes on, time is not on their side. at the rate of progress it will take russia 40 years to take all of ukraine.

Robust air support. Something called combined arms child
Russian unlike Ukraine will not be waiting years for more equipment. Yesterday the German defence minister said and was widely reported that Russia in now producing more equipment than it needs at the front and is now restocking the reserves that were drawn down in the early part of the SMO.
Good observation👍🏻 Yeah I heard that too. The Germans are right. The Russian military industrial complex is growing at a rapid pace. Ever since the fall of the USSR, the Russian military was not up to top standards. They weren't ready for a major conflict. This war was their wake up call.
@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns more like they don't need THIS scale so most were reduced. Years after USSR collapsed were very difficult for Russia and they just recovered in 2000s. The same for US, during WW2 US industry carried entire Ally: tanks for Britain to replace the old water-cooled Cromwell tanks with air-cooled Shermans in Africa, trucks for USSR to replace and upgrade Soviet's logistic system which be destroyed by Germans during beginning of the attack, carriers and planes in masses to replace those be destroyed by Japan and U-boat. However, after the war the only time the industrial were unified was the space race, but never reached the scale in WW2. Up to now no one in US can told everyone that they need the WW2 scale even though US is participating in multiple front at the same time.
@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns NO ONE was ready for a major conflict
Good point, Ukraine has to go with the begging bowl if it wants something,Russia can make it ,may not be as good but they can make more,F16 is same sure they might loose 5 mig29 but they still will have 30 left over for every one destroyed.
ya thats called russia pullling from soviet 50 year old stock, and why t-55 is being used on the front line now. russia isnt making alot of modern equipment, just refiting ww2 stuff and throwing it out there.
American Military hardware is over hyped and over priced. Buy Russian, even there shovels are better and cheaper.

20k Kornet M roket or 200k super jevlin roket 🤔
I think that is the general consensus. The cost+ pricing model does puh everyone to make things more complex and expensive. Russian culture values being efficient - and it shows. Also, a lot of the advantages are really not there once you look at the cost. And let's not go into maintenance. Howitzers made of Titanium which you CAN NOT WELD outside of protective atmosphere and that has electronics that need liquid nitrogen cooling (because those lie around on battlefields) REALLY make you question some of the IQ on the western side. White elephants.

US: Sends Abrams to Ukraine RU soldier with a mortgage: It's free real estate
When USSR was dissolved, Russians simply got ownership of the apartments they lived in! That's true privatization, no corporate middlemen. So mortgages are much rarer in Russia. That's why there's no problem with 10% interest rates.
@@bjorntorlarsson dude, mortgages are all over the place in Russia. I know from personal experience
@@bjorntorlarsson Mortgage is a daily routine in modern russia. But your state about privatization of old soviet apartments is correct too.

@@bjorntorlarsson yes, it's mostly goes to new houses in big cities since there are government programs with lower interest rates. There are about 10 million people with mortgages in Russia according to the official statistics. I'd say it's a lot

There is no point in saying anything to someone who is essentially a distorted echo of Biden. There's no point talking to reflections. And what is reflected there has already outlived its brains.
American human rights activist Ajamu Baraka: Ukrainians finally realized that they were being prepared for destruction for the sake of the geostrategic interests of the United States, which have nothing to do with them. The result is massive capitulations on the front line and people avoiding conscription.
The whole frontline is going to collapse very soon.
Drones can destroy any tanks 😂😂😂😂. Ukraine must stay neutral if it wants to live peacefully, because Russia won’t allow Ukraine to join the NATO alliance at all costs. The West has been using Ukraine to fight against Russia to weaken Russia economically and militarily. But so far, it has failed..
I would go further then just failed, I would say backfired 😅

I am a fairly open guy, have extensive knowledge of the war, and lastly my wife is chinese. I am not Chinese but have a lot of perspective on Chinese government and culture. Indeed I studied chinese history in university. What I look for in the sources I study is neutrality and no bias towards either side. Many sources I study do this, but most do not It is my observation that you are pro-Ukrainian. Nothing wrong with that, many of my friends are. Great for you. What I have a problem with is your views. I do not agree with your views about stealing Russia assets, basically since it's against international law and will harm the European financial system. I do not agree with your views on China. I am not saying you are racist against Chinese, but I really have had enough of these anti-chinese comments. You do not have a good grasp of chinese history or culture and are not qualified to comment. Other things I noticed is you quote what I believe is Western propaganda as if it's the Truth. I do admit that you give very detailed information about the war. That's wonderful keep that up. However I have come to the conclusion that this channel is not for me and will no longer view or comment on any content. I really do wish you good luck with this channel.
What would you expect from a soldier without education who visited Afghanistan few times and was sitting in the fortress behind 2m thick concrete walls... I just come to this channel only to read the comments what westerners think about this war...
inching forward Willy Really 20km2 in the last 2 days is hardly inching
That’s his obvious bias 😂
20km^2 is almost Ukraine capture in Zaporizhzhia...
unlike you most people looking at total front line movement since avdiivka and its only moved 10km from there about. and thats in the 7 months ukraine was low on ammo.
also you are not looking at the twitter videos of russian casualites. russia using alot of soldiers to attack while ukraine doesnt use alot to defend. its why you need less troops to defend because you take less casualties.
@@giovanni-ed7zq it's common sense because they're attacking but you're assuming too much that Ukraine is not having much of casualties because they keep conscripting with "30k" casualties.
"The lethality of the standard-issue MPL-50 entrenching tool is particularly mythologised in Russia, The continued use of the shovel "as a weapon highlights the brutal and low-tech fighting which has come to characterise much of the war", UK defence ministry said.

Ngl, the abrams got smacked pretty hard, i knew the Leopard2s and Challengers were extremely overrated and overcredited but i was at least expecting the abrams to put down some work like the Bradleys.

i thought you said seizing assets it theft eg cash . you cant sieze assets and people are going to trust you
Ukraine is winning on the battlefield because Russia is losing more and more planes and tanks. And Ukraine does not lose anything! because Ukraine has nothing.
What War Thunder-Brain do you all have. Abrams/Chally/Leo/T-64 they’re just tanks. Consumable metal boxes. There’s literally zero difference between them effectiveness wise when you only send 30. If Ukraine got to choose 1500 of a single tank then yeah could make a bit of difference which they chose but still negligible. But at the numbers we see it really doesn’t matter what they are as they’re all ~120mm cannon and susceptible on sides and rear.
@@prussianblue7040 exactly - 30 tanks won’t make a difference - it is dumb. Then you have a million different types of parts for leopard 1, leopard 2, amx, challenger, that Swedish tank, they won’t be able to beep them all running effectively. It’s a nightmare
So, in the Ocheretino area, we are witnessing a repetition of the story of Popasna. Now there is nothing holding back Russia's progress in this direction. This explains the stopping of the front in the Hourly Yar. There is no point in wasting energy on two major breakthroughs at the same time. We need to wait until the Armed Forces of Ukraine begin to transfer everything they have towards Pokrovsk, and then resume the offensive in other places. What Willie did not say was about the breakthrough following the retreating APU to the outskirts of Arkhangelsk and about the movement in this direction from Keramik. This creates a danger of encircling the entire area between Arkhangelsk and Keramik. A similar situation is developing in Krasnohorivka, where a new breakthrough bypassing the city creates a danger of encirclement of those areas that remain under Ukrainian control. After the fall of Krasnogorovka, the story of Avdiivka may repeat itself. In this area, the AFU also has very few prepared lines of defense. What can be said about the help from the USA. If you see your closet falling down and there is no way you can prevent it. You will try to save as many fragile things from this closet as possible and try to remove everything valuable from the place where it falls. That's exactly what the United States is doing. They already see how their project "Ukraine" will end. They see that investing money in this project is the same as investing money in a melted fireplace. But they cannot openly admit their fiasco. Even without talking about the catastrophic consequences of such recognition for the international status of the United States, they are approaching the elections. And this recognition would be a blow to everyone who took part in the Ukrainian action. They have already removed the grandmother of the ideological sponsor of the Maidan. Their military department is commanded by the one who led the flight from Afghanistan. They don't want to send Ukraine anything that gets stuck there. But what about the money? Simply put, let this money reach Ukraine when there is nothing left of Ukraine. No country, no problem.
All of the British made Challenger Tanks broke down on the way to the front. The Abrahams were blown up in storagae and in transit.
Neither are good honestly. Old t72s some european countries upgraded are better as they don’t need months of training. Leopard 1’s are faster and will perform better imo

Colossuses such as Challenger or Abrams collapse due to their weight and, even with powerful engines, cannot move efficiently. On the other hand, the Soviets placed emphasis on smaller, lighter tanks, much lower and more difficult to hit. Let's add a huge number of them and we have the results.
Somehow Russians have "damn mud" in their culture while the west LOVES to repeat the issues of Napoleon and Hitler in the Russian / Ukrainian weather. Amazingly stupid.
hate to break it to you but russian tanks have problems in the mud also lol. tanks are heavy regardless. how many modern tanks from russia you seeing now lol. you see the occaisional t-72 and more t-55.

Well, now we expect an anti-drone solution for Abrams that will enter test phase in 2027, initially will cost just $6m per tank and Ukraine will be promised the new super-puper-duper game changers to start arriving in 2031. In the meantime the Russians are doing these in field conditions from whatever lays around and are doing the job.
More like $50M per tank
@@user-tt6il2up4o Naah, I don't think they will be that greedy. My guess is that they will set the final price at $49M :)
Turtle Tank name already taken!
американцы потратили много времени и денег, чтобы изобрести ручку которая пишет в космосе... русские пишут карандашом...
LOL No. Russians have small private outfits making those small portable jammers that work in relatively common drone control frequencies. And those are professionally made. Most certainly not cobbled up in field conditions.
I'm expecting future tank designs to have less frontal armor, and more sloped roofs with more armor there. More turtle like. The big frontal armor is there for tank on tank engagements, but the risk of that is now near zero
I think the main thing is to install electronic warfare systems on the tank
tank warfare is over. they need a total redesign. they were always the best tank killers on the battlefield and now they aren't so what is their place if they can't even do that.
@@baykal6 yeah. and standoff slat armor obviously.

On the east side. Russia is not afraid of losing 200 tanks worth 2,5 million dollars every month. On the west side Ukraine fears losing 25 Abraham tanks. Very strong, handsome and expensive.Worth 10 million dollars.🤣🤣🤣Are they aware. Ukraine is in war and Afraid of losing tanks. 🤣🤣
Tanks are better suited for offensive roles like spearheading breakthroughs and the much more vulnerable on the defensive. Although drones have put a Major disruption in the earlier usage of tanks as offensive spearheads.
@@abhilashyadav2274 So what. not the point. tanks also have treads. and big guns as well. did you know about that?. dullard.
Russia isn't losing 200 tanks a month even close at the moment. Heavy tank losses occurred only in the first months of the war. Now - maybe 20-30 per month. During the summer offensive, we'll see. Further, Russian tanks are not even close to $2.5m. The export price of T90m is $4.5m, but for Russia you can consider the cost to be significantly lower. Moreover, it is mainly not the T90 that is lost, but much cheaper tanks.
@@tereshchenkotav I know right!. he's such a clown. But even if they were losing twice the value of men and equp. the truth is that Russia is all in and has 1000 times the resources it needs and 1000 more to send to Ukraine. His numbers could be twice as high and it wouldn't even matter to Russia in the long or the short term.
@@erikred8217No that's not true. Russia doesn't produce many tanks now - maybe about 200 new ones a year. All the rest are removed from conservation, despite the fact that they are also far from infinite. Accordingly, the loss of armored vehicles is quite painful for Russia and there is a risk of a shortage if the war drags on. In general, the military-industrial complex of modern Russia is quite limited, this is far from the Soviet Union.
Like to hear about your new perspective. Started off as a combat soldier with the narrow view of "kill orcs before they kill you". Now as a journalist, exposed to broad information perspectives. How are the two different for yourself, for everyone?
The thing with Abrams being pulled isn't necessarily due to the threat environment but simply because after running them for a couple of months without maintenance, many of those Abrams are already mission kills. Ukraine received so many tanks, but you hardly see leo2s anymore. Most are broken, waiting for servicing, or being cannibalized to keep the few survivors running.
Exactly, Leos are notoriously fickle good weather-tanks in need of constant and extensive maintenance which the Kievans aren't capable of, let alone in an active war zone. All the Western gear is designed to have a quiet rear which just isn't a thing anymore.
I also think that the United States just came up with excuses, in fact, tanks just don't work. and it's also a big blow to the image.
@@baykal6 maybe they were never more than 5
This is it I believe. Abrams/chally/T-64 doesn’t matter effectiveness wise. It’s just that they can’t have the headline that Ukraine lost all of them. Even though they barely got any.
I think a major issue is that Ukraine has demonstrated that USA equipment is not magical the myth of American might is well and truly over…… but the worst is the exposure of how much the USA is really the bad guys not Russia, China or others as the common denominator is USA aggression and hypocrisy where USA lies have been exposed ……. Biden killed USA credibility….
Russia is now liberating 2 villages per day!
Thanks for the update ! Have a fantastic weekend
China aiding Ukraine is direct security threat to US & Europe, but the US aiding Taiwan isn't a security threat to China? Most EU countries + US acknowledge the One China policy but do they abide by it? China is aiding both Ukraine AND Russia. It's just business to them.
We're at war albeit not officially yet but we are an have been for some time... Ehh random social media commenter?
23:31 So bad if China is fueling the largest armed conflict since WW2, but they havent come close to what NATO has been shoveling into that war zone? And China didnt scupper the initial peace talks. So NATO created this conflict, bankrolled and flooded the zone with weapons, advisors and intelligence capabilities. Can you see how other nations view this as deeply cynical and hypocritical?

I guess the main problem is not a quality of the tank, but the bounty Russian command put on it. Troops are literally hunting these tanks down.
Willyboy propaganda hitting the wall of reality. Wish good health for u though. Z
yeah Willie, remember the Abrams became "Vaunted" fighting T-60s,70s & analog 80's in the 1st gulf war 1990's probably poorly trained crews too on Iraq. They just haven't been truely battlefield tested until now. Check back about a month after the 1st Challenger was hit and the Brits told Uk to "not put them on the Combat line" rear echelon defense and mobile artillery only❗
Great show, especially the last 10 minutes or so. Keep up the great work. Cheers.
Absolutely spot on again. Talking fairly and frankly. Governments, politics, sanctions and self interest have always been sticky subjects. Truth and lies, black and white. The right sensible thing is not what is done. We are human Animals who mostly think of their own survival.

Great reporting, Willy. Thanks. I hope you're well. Stay with us. Thanks again.
Once again morning from Florida Willy! I love waking up to an update from you man, keep up the good work!!!
The primary issue with the M1 Abrams is that they're incredibly high maintenance. Wars are won by logistics.
Hi Willy, keep the content coming
Hi willy good day thanks for the daily info
Abrahams Manufacturer General Dynamic and USA dont want there tanks destroy and breaking its mystiq pf the super tank. That is bad for business real embarrassing General Dynamic want to sell these tanks still and that is bad press.
So you're OK with stealing other people's money. Nice to know.

Russia must also take those it have of the West
Russia:
I mean Russia is OK with stealing other people's country and their lives....so you know
analysis appreciated as always
Amazing isn’t it, when that gas station posing as a country can simultaneously and quite easily beat the crap out of the US,EU and NATO, and as the man said “You ain’t seen nothing yet”
At the same time Lukoil kicked France and the US out of the African Sahel, and allowed Iran to stand up to USrael.
Thanks for the grim update
It's not you, mate!! "They" are doing it to the military summary and Redacted too!!
Denys was fine. They just delete the comments.
Yeah, I watch those channels too. Censorship on YT is really worrying for a company that is from a "democratic" country. People get punished for simply speaking the truth and observations about what really happening.
@@stevannikolovskiIt's called demoNcratic
@@hallovelo2478 true. Agree 💯%
Who tf is 'they'. Conspiracy alert?
Russians learn very quickly and their technique evolves rapidly. Therefore, the Abrams are inferior to the T-90 on the battlefield. The Abrams cannot inflict losses on the Russians and only bear losses themselves.
I was a little confused by the comments off. Thanks for the explanation.
Im sure I heard the Challengers were pulled back shortly after their first excursions.
I think they were pulled after about two weeks on the front line. There was a Ukraine tank commander who said that the armour on the front of the challenger was so bad they were only useful for retreating. There was pictures of Challengers with metal plates welded to the front by Ukrainian
And that's not even the big offensive yet... The more Ukies run, the more Ukies lose their hesitation to run and sooner than later you have whole routing fronts similar to the Romanians and Italians collapsing left and right of the Germans during Operation Uranus.
Funny, I distinctly remember Ritter saying something like that in march 2022. And repeated weekly for 2 years.
@@banta-pd8zj yeah. and it's been coming the whole time and this week Ukraine was routed and is surrounding in many places. that's why the Russians are making up to 11 km a day this week. grab a clue. Try listening more closely and actually assimilating the info Ritter put down. he called it all along. I bet you ignored the death toll when he stated it over the last two years as well eh? - very convenient for you to project instead of listen.
LOL Not so long ago on this channel and others, fun was made of the Russian "Turtle Tank" which seems now to of multiplied on the battlefield while the mighty Abrams tank gets withdrawn and the cope is put down to the Ukrainians not using it correctly
Thx, for changing your mind about the comments again
Just trolling, keep up the the good Work, thank you
Thanks Willy
Lol Blinken should ask where Russia gets the cameras for their scout drones being used in Ukraine. The Ol' US of A.
Glory to the Z armed forces. Wishing you all swift progress with the De-N-A-Z-I-fying effort.
Blinken's incompetence cannot be disguised anymore, lol
Fkn awesome willy is still around. I remember when he was in Ukraine and I was hearing him talk about his diagnosis. I remember thinking I may not have much time to watch his work.
An interesting detail to add. Russian MOD has oficially renamed Avdiivka front into Pokrovsk front.
Why? Avdiivka is so close to Kostyantynivka than Pokrovsk.
These war changes role of tanks, same way ww2 change role of warships. King is still artillery, queen is anti aircraft/missile deffense. Joker is inteligence and new winning card drones.
Thanks Wilio
Hey will. Love your work mate. Keep it up. Im understanding that your schedules probably a bit more hectic but would you be able to timestamp your videos. Cheers mate
Hi Matt , there was also lots of vids on 2 other abrams taken out in a small town, also in one other town it showed a tour around town counting 138 Ukraine pieces of metal bmp, etc. Russia sure trying hard to hit that huge underground fuel storage, only a matter of time, that could be the explosion of the war
Ukraine is 1940s Germany....😁👍
1945 Germany that is
Abram tanks had to be withdrawn because no troops liked to operate them and even to travel in them. They experienced that Abrams are the most vulnerables. This is amazing !
Thanks for covering what the main stream media would not
Russia isn't wearing down....they are getting a ton of experience ....hands on.....China can watch all they want.....there is a difference between playing qb and being the backup holding the clipboard on the sideline.
@23.20 on Russia impoeting huge amounts of semiconductors, etc from China, and friends Just want to point out, so too does America 🤷 From the OEC "In 2022, United States imported $16.6B in Semiconductor Devices, mainly from Vietnam ($4.57B), Malaysia ($2.13B), Thailand ($1.66B), South Korea ($1.54B), and China ($962M)."...seems a weird thing to point out for the original source you're reading from
Kinda needs to, when it's producing an utter fuckton of precision-guided munitions such as missiles, glide bomb kits, radios, etc.
Happy to see you healthy

What ? You got broken arms ? 😂

Perv.
MBTs are also vulnerable to heavy artillery. Armour simulation channels that model the effects of different rounds show the 40mm upper glacis of the Abrams lower hull is thin enough to be a complete kill if hit by 155mm or larger HE. With drone spotting, heavy artillery is now an even nastier weapon system.
The Russians use laser guided "Krasnopol" shells that can hit a moving target. And the "Orlan-30" drones have the guidance capability.
@@doublehelix7880 Cool info, thanks. I think modern tanks are in some dire need of increased protection from plunging munitions.
You can also blow off or jam tracks with fragments. The US artillery branch did tests and found tanks were very susceptible to this.
@@Ulrich_von_Jungingen There’s only so much you can do before the beasts sink into the ground under the weight of their own armour.
@@TheGreatAmphibian This is somewhat true historically, but I think most peoples understanding of how far diesel engines and drivetrains have come is pretty limited. I worked on 2700hp diesel electric off highway trucks. These had a 230tonne payload with a total weight of 408 tonnes. These trucks operate on unsealed roads, but they also operate of boggy ground that would get a 4x4 stuck and they do pretty well. They do sometimes get bogged, but these aren't tracked offroad vehicles either. They are also moved significant distances on public roads on the back of low-loader trailers by prime movers from workshops to mine sites. People have this crazy idea that we are still in ww2, where 60 tonnes is heavy and that engines are still 500hp and the manufacturing capacity of the 1940s. The average MBT weighs nearly as much as the Tiger II with 3 times the power. There is a fleet of US supercarriers being built. Your average super cruise ship is 200,000 tonnes. A tank in the 80 - 100 tonne weight class is actually not a big deal in the slightest in this era, except for logistical reasons. Do people know a D11 dozer weighs 110 tonnes?
Willy is the man a true legend!!
