If Russias army is so poor how can they be a threat to Europe as we are constantly told ..?

Weren’t the Americans laughing at inferior t72 tanks?

Damn those russian armor piercing shovels are damn good

Ukraine gets an Abrams… Russia gets an Abrams…😂

Yes, Joe, Ukraine can stop Putin by an unconditional surrender, remaining neutral and begging for mercy and forgiveness.

Remember it was the US who showed up with cluster munitions and depleted uranium ammunition.

I remember watching Brian and The New Atlas since the beginning of the war. Brian has been dead on about almost everything. His channel is one of the very few places on the Internet where we can get the full picture, doesn't matter if it's good or bad, thank you for telling the truth about this war.

NATO is a paper tiger. "Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face" -- Mike Tyson.

The US military power is nothing but a hyped up paper tiger.

Seems to me, that the US, in the next few months, will do an "Afghanistan" in Ukraine..... Pull out and not talk about it again.😅

These Western "experts" must be so proud to be consistently WRONG on literally EVERY single one of their "expert" predictions and analysis. 🙄

I remember being told that there are no american soldiers in Cambodia and Laos. SMH

Biden: “there are no Americans fighting in Ukraine!!!” Yeah, ok Joe. 🙄😒

15 dollars shovels vs multi million dollars tank 😂

The Abrams tank will soon be on display in a Russian military museum.

No american soldiers? Funny how many telegram videos I've seen in which there was clearly american english accent to be heard. They might not be there under the American patch but definitely under the Ukrainian patch. I hear so much polish, american, british, and french accents in so many telegram channels about this war, it's not even funny anymore. So many mercenaries. I hope Russia goes hard on them, so they know that they stop poking their noses into countries which isn't their own.

When a single man on youtube does 1000 times better job than news corporations employing thousands we know we truly live in dystopian future everyone in past like Orwell talked about

There ARE American soldiers in Ukraine so many clips of US flags on gear and speaking English.

Americans have to ask a simple question, America, EU and European governments like Germany, Britain, France etc have already spent almost $200 billions combined. Ukraine is worse off now then it was in February 2022. How a further $65 billion aid would help Ukraine from this position of complete disaster?

It is interesting that in every single war the US has been involved in the past 30 years or where US military equipment is used, the medias always claim how superior and great these US-made weapons are. The infamous «Wonder Weapons»... And people believe it. Every war becomes an infomercial for the US Military Industrial Complex while in fact, the US military equipment is just average. It started in Iraq with the infamous Patriot missiles that were in fact easily defeated by Iraqi Scuds... 70% interception rate in Iraq and 40% in Israel... As for the Abrams, these tanks have so many downfalls, weak spots and problems. But hey, at $10 million a piece, they must be good, right ? LOL

Russia can build 5 T72's for the cost of US building just 1 Abrams A1 Tank.Just that fact should speak volumes to the Pentagon.

Lots of cognitive dissonance, special pleadings, shoehorning and the denial of reality. They desperately want to believe the lie they tell themselves.

Using Abrams tank in Ukraine is like using Tesla in Dakar race... 😂

Mr Medeved as already given his opinion on building arms factories in Ukraine , he says it is a good idea and please do it . But do not forget to send him the exact co-ordinates .

Those washing-machine launched shovels really works wonders

As Russian, I served in soviet army as tank commander in 1980's. Back then, we had night vision, 3d cannon stabilzers and laser range finders with automated scope adjustmen depending on selected type of shell and range.

It's a privilege having you, Mr. Berletic; your knowledge, due to your past of a soldier, adds value to your good way of communicating. Thanks.

Russia outdated equipment destroying NATO modern equipment. S300 out performing the patriot system. T-72 destroying Abhram tank.... Lol

The first war in which simple KZfaqrs online make better assessments,better analysis and better predictions than most western generals and officers.this tells you a lot about the state of western propaganda 😂😂😂

The rhetoric about building weapons factories in Ukraine has a reason, billions would be spent, very little of that money would actually reach these factories and when the Russians destroyed them, they would also destroy the evidence of corruption.

Col. Macgregor or maybe Scotty Ritter pointed out, the Abrams are so hot thanks to their gas-turbines, that you can follow them easy from a low-orbit satellite.

Thanks for your work. Cheers from Germany. Russia is on the right side of history, in this. Which other options did they have in February 2022? None, I would say. Colonial style western politicians will lose.

The Abrams tank reminds me of The King's invisible clothes.

Russia is the "Fight Against Globalists" we NEED TO SUPPORT

Depletion of u.s.military resources to find themselves helpless defending the homeland

Saying NATO can defeat Russia is like saying biden can run up the stairs without stumbling.

Apparently Shovels and FABs are a deadly combo ..

Buying shells at extortionate prices from dubious arms dealers? Can it get any more ludicrous?😮

The Russian military has successfully targeted another American-made MIM-104 Patriot long-range air defense system of Kiev forces. Video footage showing the attack on the system was first published on March 9. Initially, the system was wrongly identified as a Soviet-made S-300. However, later additional footage showing the aftermath of the attack confirmed that two Patriot M90x Launching Stations based on German-made MAN KAT1 trucks were destroyed in addition to a third unidentified vehicle. The system was reportedly struck near the settlement of Serhiivka in the Donetsk region. Ukraine recently moved its remaining Patriot systems closer to the frontline in order to counter the Russian Aerospace Forces, which inflicted heavy damage on Kiev forces using cruise missiles and glide bombs in recent months. The U.S., Germany and the Netherlands paid billions to supply Patriot systems to Ukraine. The systems failed to make any difference whatsoever. Now, the Russian military is turning these systems into some of the most expensive fireworks in history. Russia has begun using a powerful aerial bomb that has decimated Ukrainian defenses and tilted the balance on the front lines. It has done so by converting a basic Soviet-era weapon into a gliding bomb that can cause a crater fifteen meters wide. The bomb is the FAB-1500, essentially a 1.5-tonne weapon of which nearly half comprises high explosives. It is delivered from above by fighter jets from a distance of some 60-70 kilometers, out of range of many Ukrainian air defenses. The FAB-1500 is another example of how Russia is fighting its war in Ukraine, inflicting massive destruction before trying to take territory. Recent videos from the battlelines in Donetsk region have illustrated the immense power of these bombs as they have hit thermal power plants, factories and tower blocks - places from which the Ukrainians coordinate their defenses. One soldier from Ukraine’s 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade told CNN from the frontline town of Krasnohorivka in Donetsk last week: “Previously, we were only shelled with artillery. Now the orcs [Russians] have taken on the town more aggressively [and] started using air force assets, particularly the FAB-1500.” “Why are they using the FAB-1500? Because the damage done by it is very serious. If you survive, you are guaranteed to have a contusion.” “It puts a lot of pressure on soldiers’ morale. Not all of our guys can withstand it. While they are more or less used to the FAB-500 by now, but the FAB-1500 is hell.” The use of FAB bombs has become a critical element in the Russian offensive in Donetsk region, especially in razing to the ground Ukrainian defenses in and around Avdiivka, which fell in February. Yuri Ihnat, Ukrainian air force spokesman, told CNN: “On the eve of and during the battle of Avdiivka hundreds of air bombs were launched within days. There were 250 of them used in Avdiivka direction in 48 hours only.” Justin Bronk, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London, says that “while manufacturing the glide kits is a bottleneck, the basic explosive package is something they have in huge numbers.” So the Russians have very heavy firepower to bring to bear on fixed defenses, increasing Ukrainian casualties, though not as yet enough to fundamentally change the frontlines. Ihnat told CNN: “This isn’t a cheap or fast transformation, but still, it’s much less than the millions of dollars a missile costs. It’s pennies in comparison with a missile.” Russian military bloggers began referring to the weapon last September when its accuracy was being tested. The Fighter-bomber telegram channel noted that “after many months of trials and errors,” a FAB-1500 had “accurately” hit its “combat target” for the first time. Fighter-bomber, which is close to the Russian military and has nearly half-a-million subscribers, claimed that the newly developed glide kit had increased the range of the bombs. It also said the FAB-1500 was accurate to within five meters.

Biden's manic shouting and the incessant applause is sickening

Clapping hysterically as they prepare to accept the thick MIC Envelopes , full of Taxpayer “ *Donations* ”

The T-72s used by Iraq were a locally-built derivative and used steel shot and half-charges. If the Americans had fought the Russians or most armies equipped with T-72s 30 years ago, they wouldn't have been so lucky.

Correction Brian, there is something special about US made weapons, they cost a lot of money.

On the tanks, I googled that the cost of an Abrams is $24.5M each, and the cost of a T-72 is $500K

There was a very good article on Hindustan Times quoting European arms manufacturers that they cannot get a key ingredient to produce gunpowder for artillery shells, the main provider of this ingredient is China who they stated stopped exporting the said ingredient to Europe last year 😊

Russia tanks crews usually do well in competitions so it's no surprise when they bested Ukrainian driven US tanks. Even with US crews, I think they stand no chance against a good Russian crew.

They are always trying to find a way to belittle Russia it's so funny and BIG cope. And by the way there's an American soldier fighting in Ukraine for Russia and he's planting US flags whenever they capture a city or town . Gotta say this is one unusual war 😂

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE 🇺🇲😶🙁😳🥺😭

Hell yeah! An old Soviet tank is making a mockery of Washington's propaganda. 😂😂

There are no American soldiers, only special forces 😂

The Russians have built ATGMs specifically to destroy Abrams...

I love this bald bastard! He just keeps on keeping it real while the western propaganda looks downright embarrassing. Keep it coming mate and I'm buying you a coffee 👍

The fact he needed to mention that there were no American soldiers in Ukraine has me convinced otherwise

Hello 👋 watching from South Africa thank you for the update keepit up good work 💕❤

A room full of demons clapping and cheering

Huraaaaaaaaaaaaah VIVA Long live the INDISPUTABLE greatest WARRIORS of our world, with the most POWERFUL army on planet; RUSSIA!

Bonjour , merci monsieur Brian . Vos vidéos sont toujours aussi précises et factuelles , et cela nous est indispensable pour bien comprendre ce conflit . Au revoir et bonne journée .

1:32 The headline of that article makes no sense. If the Russian army isn't a good one then why would Ukrainian defenses crumble?

Us weapons are expensive junk they have nothing to stop Russia, Russia has the best equipment and army in the world.

The problem with Abrams and Leopard tanks is their weight. They are heavier, by almost half the weight of any, especially the Russian main battle tank. Russian tanks weigh between 44-55 tons, and Western tanks between 55 and 80 tons. What is an incredible difference in weight, in addition to being lighter, Russian tanks have wider tracks than Western ones. Which in my opinion has no logic. Western tanks differ from Russian ones in that they look better and more comfortable with a lot and too much unnecessary technology. However, the Russian tank has the most important thing, which is maneuvering on territory such as Ukrainian, only the ground is nowhere stone, you can find a small hill every ten "thousand" kilometers in Ukraine. It's incredible how long that lowland expanse where the sea used to be 🌊 once upon a time in the past.

The more I see of that State of the Union address, the more revolting this theatre of imperial hubris reveals itself to be. Thank you once again, Brian.

Thankyou so much for all the great work you do 💯👍👍👍👍👍

The US sent 31 Abrams M1A1 tanks to Ukraine six months ago, Ukraine only now managed to deploy around 6 of them along the Eastern frontlines and in less than 10 days 3 of these have already been destroyed, along with their NATO-trained crews. Extrapolating, that would be a 100% loss rate every three weeks. These Abrams M1A1 tanks are too heavy, too fuel-hungry and require too much maintenance, they just represent a huge logistics burden for the Ukrainian army and do not provide an effective strike force. Hence the disappointing performance on the battlefield. The proof is in the pudding.

I follow channels like this because I no longer put much faith in newspapers for the truth.

Just wait until they get the new carbon neutral lithium powered tanks...this will be the game changer that they have been waiting for.

You recommend the two Alex's videos to viewers. I also and unreservedly recommend yours as well, for your geopolitico-military analyses are always crystal clearly detailed even to us non-military viewers.

The last one equal enemy america had was germany. since this their enemies were well choosen, except vietnam which they even lost.

Just to be clear the Iraqi "T-72" wasn't a completed version of T-72, it was T-72 Ural (1973). Didn't have a best ammunitions, it was still under development. US/NATO have been fighting wars against Army of tribes since 1991.

Sending those Abrams tanks without maintenance support would be the equivalent of Ferrari going to F1 without mechanics.

The T-72s that Iraq had 30 years ago were not even the best versions of that tank at that time...the USSR kept all of the good stuff for themselves.

Technological superiority was demonstrated, the M1 was destroyed by a laser-guided tank ATGM. This is quite interesting because... Such missiles are designed primarily to combat helicopters. This also means that in the third year of the war there are some such missiles in a linear Russian tank. During this time, Ukraine managed to run out of Javelins.

FJB I support Russia and mr Putin.

This channel makes so much normal sense

NATO and the American military industrial complex brought the derision of the on Abrams tank, when they started hyping it up as a mythical indestructible machine. Ordinarily the destruction of an Abrams tank shouldn't matter this much

I hear the T-7283 is made completely from washing machines and dishwashers it shoots shovels at the enemy for maximum effective damage!

Afaik, the Iraqis also produced their own copies of the T-72, but due to the poor quality of these tanks they were used as stationary firing points.

Let's be honest in somalia u.s was so called tech superior but they got hammered pathetically till Pakistani forces bailed them out look it up if you don't bliv. In Vietnam, America threw everything at the vietcong who were "inferior" but Americans ended up running. Afghanistan the whole of nato was there but it was the same problem. Now they expect to easily win against Russia, a country with hypersonic shovels? Russia is out of missiles and toilets but only shovels took avdiivka. Nato shd be wary of these shovels.

The Christopher Walken of geo-political commentary. Always brilliant.

Appears that T-72 crew were VERY good! In fact, Ukraine has done likewise against Russian forces using T-72, T-80, T-90 tanks. It's all about training & tactics, NOT just equipment.

Hello from Russia 🙌🙌 Fighting with guys in slippers and with RPG7 is not something to meet with Russians. Good luck to everyone 🤗🤗🤗PS A degraded export version of the T-72 tank was supplied to Iraq You didn't know?

No US soldiers there except the Patriot and Himars operators and M1 training staff..also the other foreigners operators for ATACMS or Storm Shadow and naval drones...

Barletiću, you are real artist of setting facts and things together without no passion...that impress me! You are my hero!

The Abrams is/was a very high maintenance to duty cycle ratio tank as well

Its a common mistake in all conflicts. Theres no such thing as an indestructible tank. There are no game changers

I saw a video of a young 18yr old girl in a Ukraine army outfit smiling at the camera. A few hours later she was dead. Anarchy now.

great presentation.......Brian....spot on facts and you always bring the receipts......Well done

Brave and Brilliant Brian Berletic 👏 👍

My Mom's 1991 Honda Civic is not the same car as my 2023 Honda Civic. Not sure why the geniuses at the ISW can't figure out that tanks modernize, too.

The arrogance of the fool and unwise.

“ If they can sack York they can invade lower England “

Remind me of veteran KZfaqrs bragging how badass they were against the Taliban except the Taliban didn't have A-10war hogs and Apache gunships etc

watching those all those applauding in the state of the union, they look all like hungry seals waiting for the fish.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

РОССИЯ ВСЕГДА ПОБЕЖДАЛА И ВСЕГДА БУДЕТ!!!! ❤🇷🇺♥️🇷🇺♥️💐

Just to let you know, that T-72B3 didn't use a shell to destroy the Abrams, it used a 9M119 Refleks cannon-launched ATGM to destroy the Abrams. You can tell if you watch the full video as you can see the missile fly in on its distinct high launch angle with parts of the launch propellant ring falling off at the start of the video.

You forgot to mention these tanks need networking with air support

Thank you so much for the excellent analysis, Brian! ....maximum respect. Keep up the good work 👏

The T-72 received upgrades not many years ago; new gun, armor protection, engine, transmission, and more. It is now competitive to western tanks. In the U.S., your common citizen and rural bar-hogs think all U.S. equipment comes from Star Trek. Even if the M-1 is the best tank in the world, it is not invincible.

These "experts" never put their name to their assessments.

Typical American wind and bluster, we witness this everyday. 34Trillion debt but hey our interest rates and recession are falling 😂😂😂😂 have you seen the bullet trains in the US hitting 1000KM/hr 😂😂😂 They lead the world!!!

Abrams tanks are loaded with artillery manually while T-72B3 is loaded automatically, this only shows T-72 is more modern nd efficient.
