Then it is crazy to try unless you care nothing about the lives of Ukraine soldiers. Trust me, Biden does not care.

Someone tell me. If the US had to flee with its tail between its legs from Afghanistan in 2021! Then probably the United States does not have such good weapons and military tactics. Then why did anyone even have the idea that if you give the Ukrainians just weapons, then almost everything is quite old, older than the United States had in Afghanistan. Ukraine has even the slightest chance to stand against Russia. Stop supplying them with weapons, have pity on the people!

I was about to say the same thing.

Believe me, if the Russians did the same thing, you'll be the first one to shame on them. Everyone knows it's a suicide mission to do this offensive without enough manpower and air support, but who cares about the death of Ukrainians if it means that Uncle Sam will be pleased? No one! at least not from the west.

They had the air support first... By now 450 jets and 252 ukrainian helicopters have been destroyed. And they dont have the air support any longer. Russian air defence oficers are very dissapointed that Bidon dont want to provide ukrainians with the F-16 jets to train better russian ground to air missiles/ They look forward that Bidon will change his mind...

It's called propaganda.

This^ The Russians have air superiority, months of entrenchment, and they have a lot more soldiers on the front now since the last mobilization.

Which means not only is Russia losing... Ukraine are about to severe the main supply line and have easy access to Crimea... and the worst is yet to come, as it cost's the Russian economy millions to repair the Crimean Bridge... and it Costs Ukraine nothing to destroy it (Free weapons).

They can't even penetrate the line of contact, and penetrating just the first line of defense (of which there are several) is going to be an order of magnitude more difficult than that. Bakhmut was a meatgrinder, but this is even more so!

Putin is banking on the U.S and it's allies loosing domestic patience.

I am from the future, the offensive was a complete disaster

Notice at how Russia throws men at obstacles at Vuhledar, and Ukraine adjusted their offensive to secure a win. Russian artillery losses are happening at a rate of twice the war's average.

Looking back at what has happened I doubt that air cover would help (Would get to the objectives) (If we are talking about 100 F-16s). It would change a lot. But if were to expect considerable advancements it would come at high costs on both sides in aircraft and men. It's not that simple to just send F-16s to the battlefield, you have to provide them with something to protect from AA units.

take time = not gonna happen

Ukraine isn’t winning this war if the west really want to WIN it needs boots on the ground and confront the Russians directly.

When the US and Coalition Forces invaded Iraq during both Gulf Wars, what preceded the ground forces going in was over a month of air campaigns bombarding Iraqi/enemy targets. Even in WWII, before the June 6, 1944 D-Day landings, air assets dropped bombs on the beaches, they pretty much missed their targets, but the Commanders knew of the importance of softening up the targets before dispatching in ground forces. Even before the allies landed, the Naval assets bombarded the beaches and bunkers with their 5, 12, 14 and 15 inch guns. The Ukrainians were sent in without an air campaign to degrade their targets, nor do they have any meaningful air support. These soldiers are being sent to their graves.

" is of course going to take time" Where I live, it is not called to "take time" but suicide!.

They seems to have gotten close on some fronts and past on others?

@@vyros.3234 NO. They are not even close to the fortified lines. The deepest Ukr has got into the Security zone is in one place, 9km. That's ~3 miles. The closest the fortified lines are to the forward lines of contact is 20km. After a month of being on the offense this is an absolute failure. The Ukrainian losses are staggering for no real progress.

He allso didn't explain why they believed the counter offensive would be more effective originally..at the start of it ukraine just fired up some mine sweepers l, tanks l, and Bradley's and just drove at the defensive lines like they actually believed they where going to just drive threw the front lines for a Sunday drive

That's the key problem. Their entire campaign is based on trying to build hype in order to receive supplies and funding, all while announcing their goals and hoping to seize territory for TikTok videos to build more hype. Idiocy, really, but not so surprising.

The russians already knew this was going to happen anyway

A lot is over confidence because of last autumns victories that the Ukrainians had. What people fail to realize was the Russia was severely over extended last Autum. Russian forces were attacking heavily all year long and were far weaker than the Generals in command wanted to admit resulting in Russian force becoming way to over extended. That is why Russian forces were routed around Izum. This time Russia has had half a year practically to fortify the borders, bring up fresh forces and dig in. So at this point there is no telling how things hold up. Russia will have due to things to win- spool up its armaments industry and maintain moral. Holding back this offensive should help built Russian moral but who knows.

maybe the point is not to win but to cause as much death and destruction as possible?

@@MrChickennugget360 The Russians weren't routed at Izum. There weren't seasoned combat soldiers there but more like something akin to our national guard and very low numbers. They were stretched way to thin at the time, didn't give much consideration at the time and Ukraine exploited that opportunity.

I remember hearing another American General (Hodges maybe) saying before the offensive that the Russian defenses would be 'brittle'. I reckon I could be a General. I really do.

He is dumb but its good for TV

😂🤣

You guys are seemingly unable to understand what is even said. The first statement is not contradictory to second. Ukraine can and will likely find a weak spot. And then it will show itself wether they are able to penetrate. Even the best defence line is useless when there are no soldiers to defend it.

It hasn't failed yet, so he's not wrong yet. Now if they had F35s, F22s and some AWACS this could go a lot faster. But something tells me you'll be concerned about the cost.

People mocked because russian army is the second in the world! They have 2 million army and without limits weapons.

Ukraine has already gained more ground in the counteroffensive then Russia gained in the 9 month counter offensive. Do some research before you make comments and make yourself look dumb.

*Russian winter offensive

one is a large, functional army with centuries of operational history, extensive air cover, advanced air defence and artillery, with mobile warfare doctrine developed over the course of two different countries' military experience, with both bragging extensively about their military might and placing it at front and centre of their society. the other is a third-rate post-soviet military with a history of economic and political dysfunctionality, with no equipment from any later than the day the berlin wall fell. does that help?

@@josephr9930 That's rubbish. Russian took the whole 2 cities in the last 6 month. Ukraine took 3 small villages in a gray zone in a month.

Haha yes👍😂

Perhaps they have a 'map' so that they can navigate through the minefield

Either they have a map of where the mines are, or there are gaps left in the field for movement. Those gaps are tempting for the other side to use for advancing, but they become death traps as troops and armor are forced to funnel through while being hammered by artillery, aircraft, and drones.

According to other sources, Russian communications were intercepted where they admitted to destroying the dam. How were Russian positions flooded with Russians inside you might ask? I imagine the Russia line of communication is trash and the right hand did not tell the left hand what it was up too. Or something to that effect.

​@@RUTHLESSambition5you can check the open source materials, Oryx for example, by reports during offensive the ratio of lost vehicles is 1:1 which is just an enormous success for an offensive side.

No he's just lying. There's a difference.

It's both. Wagner's core consists of ex-Russian soldiers, a lot of them former special forces e.g. VDV. Which has a lot to do with how the Russian military structure does NOT provide a valuable career path for NCOs, but that's a topic for another day. So after some meat grinders in Ukraine, namely Soledar, they were depleted heavily of their veteran soldiers and subsequently heavily ramped up their recruitment from prisons. The core of hardened veterans still existed, as well as whichever convicts survived Bakhmut.

there are 2 main groups within Wagner. the 'core' are actually quite well equipped and trained, but the convicts were sent in with minimal training and equipment. they're the ones that took most of the casualties in Bakhmut. One of their tactics in Bakhmut was to send in the conscripts to try and create an opening, then sending in the 'good' troops to try and exploit said opening.

Wagner used the prisoners as cannon fodder so it's well trained soldiers would live. So both are true.

No. Wagner had a core of well trained, very experienced soldiers. They drove the convicts ahead of them to draw fire so they return fire at the Ukrainians. The slaughter was so great that the Ukrainians on the front lines had to bring multiple rifles because the barrels would overheat the fired so many rounds. For those who don't know, barrel heat will prematurely set-off the rounds.

Of course, the ones on the third line. Because they send the meat to the front to be slaughtered.

I think that's more then a bit over stating it. The only thing they seem to be doing is dieing on mass for no gain

That's not strictly true, Ukraine has reached the defensive lines in parts of the front weeks ago, in other places they haven't gotten that far. In either case, it's a moot point.

This is basically what I came here to comment. Whenever I watch news about the war from mainstream networks they are always inaccurate, and their explanations are incredibly shallow. They made it sound like these main defensive lines are what is currently holding Ukraine back when what they are currently having issues with is advancing through minefields with drone spotted artillery fire. Its the exact same thing Russia was having issues with when they tried to advance in this terrain such as with Vuhledar. Ukraine needs to take out most of Russia's artillery to succeed in these area's, which is why we have seen Ukraine shift it's focus on doing exactly that. This video says nothing of this though, instead they spend the whole time explaining something completely detached from what is actually happening on the ground.

I think the US governments concern about providing long range missiles and aircraft is that Ukraine will use it for strikes into Russia. Which could escalate things even more and who knows how Russia would respond.

Any time a fighter goes up, it gets shot down. Long range munitions wear out barrels fast, and there is no replacement barrels. In fact there is no more ammunition. There is nothing the West or Ukraine can do that will 'turn the tide'. The Russians will win, and Ukraine will be a devastated country.

Do you think there would be a chance that fighter aircrafts would transform to ''flying coffins'', just a possibility??

Most of the German elite troops were spent during Operation Michael or Kaiserschlaht as its known.
