Great interview! Very clear and sobering.

What a great example of a brave man, that Commander at the end of the episode is. Leading by example and understanding that every soldier has fear. The main thing is, as far as I can tell, to know that your fellow soldiers are all of the same mindset, and have your back. Glory to Ukraine and Glory to The Heroes...

Great pod cast, keep it up fellas

The pierce on the Dragonfire weaponry was very interesting.

i really appreciate your honest commentary on the War in Ukraine. i like the format and hosts very much. Slava Ukraine and NATO

Hello Dom, Francis, David. I love your show, I watch it almost every night and 2 of my buddies also love it ❤🥰😻🇺🇦🇬🇧. Greetings from Atlanta, USA 🇺🇸. May God protect the ❤🇺🇦Ukrainians 🙏🙏🙏. May the rot leave the 🇺🇸 US government and may the 🇺🇦 aid package finally pass 🙏🙏🙏😢.

Well thought through and intelligent reporting!

The Colonel's insight was blunt and very effective, we need to keep supporting these guys. Western media apart from Dom and his gang don't appear to be interested. This has a knock on effect to the political support.

I share your frustration Dom. It does seem that there are no adults in the room. Where is the leadership we need at this critical moment in history?

Thanks. Glory to Ukraine. God Bless Ukraine and her people. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Always listening on KZfaq religiously from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Great news sourse, perhaps my favorite. This is so needed in the age of news these days. Keep up the great reporting!

GREAT interview@

Great coverage. Thanks for keeping us informed.

I listen to the podcast every day at work! It's excellent. We need to all understand more fully how Russian colonialism, genocide, and history revisionism works. This podcast does a good job to teach others.

Tx from Berlin

Dom is my spirit animal.

What a great interview👍👍thanks guys..this man knows what he talking abt..stay strong Ukraine!🇸🇪👍

What a great leader. Great interview

For anyone following, or trying to follow, Russia’s war of aggression & genocide in Ukraine, this pod is essential listening. Excellent reports move thru topics briskly, and feature many interesting interviews with wonderful, brave & dedicated volunteers & orgs at the fronts or on the ground helping civilians and the Armed Forces of Ukraine in myriad creative & devoted ways. I’m in wonder every day listening to Ukraine the Latest. Indispensable information from reliable sources. Victoria

The interview was great. It highlighted the realities of this war.

Please encourage Ukrainians to tour the United States. I attended screenings of 20 Days In Mariupol, Freedom On Fire, and an art event at a local synagogue. To meet and hand-to-hand contribute funding to Ukrainians advances both the strength of Ukraine and the understanding that Americans now risk direct confrontation with the would-be Czar and his armies of zombies. Ukrainians emphasize they need weapons and funding, not our soldiers. If Ukraine does not stop the Czar, Europeans and Americans will bleed next. And read the New York Times 'opinion' written by J.D.Vance, one of the Republican isolationists. He misstates many details, manufactures defeatism, and thinks the Atlantic Ocean protects the United States. I encourage The Telegraph to voice his obedience to Putin and Trump, then inform him of his ignorance and cowardice.

I listen everyday from the Central Coast NSW Australia 🦘

Listening to every episode from here in S.W. Florida.

Very informative interview.. better than top brass.

Still listening from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

This U-tube channel is an excellent source of Ukraine news. This American appreciates your efforts. SLAVA UKRAINI

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 from 🇬🇧

What a great interview with Lieutenant Colonel Pavlo Kurylenko , I continue to be amazed by the intelligence of the Ukraine people. Having listen to countless interviews I have yet to come across anything but the smartest individuals we must all support Ukraine this country has a lot to offer humanity.

Incredible interview at the end.

Still listening from North Yorkshire and not in any way put off by Russian Bots....

The US Senate should allow a vote on HB5692 to support Ukraine.

Nothing really new about trying lasers in this way though the technology is no doubt getting better. What has been known for a long time is that the major range limiting factor is "Thermal Bloom". Basically the laser also heats up the air it passes through and as air (and the water vapour therein" heats it becoming opaque and absorbing more of the energy effectively dispersing and reflecting the laser. So there is a limit to range - though I'm sure lots of techno-tweaks are being made to extend the point at which this happens. I would guess 8 smaller lasers converging at the target point is part of this.

Wonderful reports and great interview, very sobering. Thanks for reporting from Ukraine, I never miss your reports.

The troll traffic on channels addressing DragonFire reveals how important Russia considers this technology to be. Field testing under real war conditions can pay a huge dividend to the donor nation as well as to Ukraine. There has never been a better time to proceed with great haste.

Excellent as always - tuned in from Sydney down under. Great interview with that Ukrainian commander - brave dude.

Always excellent commentary! Best wishes from the fellas and NAFO.

Let the Ukrainian engineers connect their radars into FrankenDragonfire & those folks will come up with ways to modulate, target, enhance, pattern spread, etc. that the UK wouldn’t think of right now since they’re not under direct fire. Please accelerate this ASAP!!!

Bravo Ukraine. Stay Strong and Keep up the Good Work!

The interview the army guy was one of the best yet. Ukranians are just so smart, they are fascinating to listen to

Excellent podcast.

Listening in Houston, TX. I don't let a day go by. Слава Україні!

A free operational testing ground for a prototype weapon ... of course the UK government is offering it, it's not necessarily about generosity, it's about getting operational info that would take decades to achieve outside and active theatre.

I've never missed an episode from these guys. In depth analysis, measured and insightful. The best Ukraine invasion podcast.

Buckinghamshire - thanks for another informative update 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧

Great work ❤🇦🇺

Thx for the update

Very intetesting info from the Ukraine commander at the end. Reminds of info from Waffen SS artilllery spotter who told of directing fire to utter destruction of Russian forces and equipment all soon replaced and destroyed again and replaced again etc until his unit had retreated out of range. (Walking back through the rear of Russian lines was not the problem walking towards his own lines always needed double the caution)

“That’s do it!” Exactly. The sarcasm is on point.

Real eye open from the front on comments

Range would be line of sight thus limited to the visible horizon.

Cheers

It's better these Russian bots waste their time trolling people who know better like the people who listen to this podcast

Have been following for over a year now.Irreplacable.

Good show

Wavelength has many implications for the performance of a beamed weapon. Longer wavelengths like radio are less coherent (they tend to go everwhere) but penetrate through fog and smoke better. Propogation of radiation through particles, i.e. smoke, is proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength (from memory)

Ukraine needs more air defense to protect lives!

your lasers v. drones remind me of Val Kilmer in Real Genius. ahhhh, back when cutting edge weapons were frowned upon and made to look funny! how many bags of unpopped popcorn can destroy a house please? i guess the brits were taking notes back then and we should have been too!!!!!!!

The political system in UK is rotten 😂😂😂

Great podcast. ❤️👍 listening from Slovakia

“Quantity has a quality all its own.” The description of a defense in depth with the maneuver element behind the static element is very reminiscent of German tactics in the late war period of ww2.

"Bloom" on laser weapons could be a significant issue

Several decades ago I read a New Scientist on a plane. The article was about using microwaves to remove brain tumours. The concept was that narrow waves from many different directions could pass harmlessly through the brain, but where they all crossed it essentially created an “energy scalpel” that could be used to break up a tumour. I have no clue if this is now mainstream, but at the time I wondered if it was scaled up, could the same concept (a network of lasers focused on the same target) could be used for air defence.

The strategy seems to be to advance towards Lvov at the moment. Nebenzia at the UN made a prediction, lets see if it comes true.

NATO doctrine is to establish air dominance first, and also that there is not a shortage of weapons or ammunition which is not much use for Ukraine 56:46

Excellent podcast for the duration of this abhorrent invasion of a peacful nation.

"Meat assaults" 😂 yes I've seen these online... 20 Orc Troops sat on a BTR etc getting toasted by drones and artillery 😂

Heroyam Slava!

A laser beam to destroy a item flying through the air! Great idea! However if a smoke bomb will prevent the laser from striking the target, it seems easy to prevent them from being effective. Hopefully the can make it work well.

Dragonfire isn’t very strong at 55 Kw, Isreal’s iron dome is 100 Kw, the US laser is 300 Kw so its very under powered in comparison with its near peers, great news we’re in the business but a lot of catching up to do

This is a fantastic podcast and any comments made by Russian bots or sympathisers are just going to get laughed 😂 at. Everyone who is worth listening to is fully supporting Ukraine as a principle at this point. Get lost USSR revisionists! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤ 🎉 Edit: I loved hearing this Ukrainian hero speaking, wonderful work.

Slava Ukraini 💪 🇺🇦 🇦🇺 🙏

Is this the fulfilment of the horror stories that went along with the beginning of laser development? I do understand why they’re doing it but I can’t imagine how terrible it would be turned on humans!

This place seems fairly devoid of trolls. The biggest cesspools are 'independent' channels like Alexander Mercouris & George Galloway for example. Oh, and the Asian news ones.

❤Ukrainian ❤

Thank God they didn't left Ukrainians without electricity in winter

Russian troops destroyed the first Khmara electronic warfare station of the Ukrainian army over the past day in the special military operation in Ukraine, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported on Monday. Russian troops destroyed the Khmara jammer in the Avdeyevka area, it specified. "In counter-battery fire, the following targets were destroyed: a US-made 155mm M109 Paladin self-propelled artillery gun, a 152mm Akatsiya self-propelled artillery gun, a 122mm Gvozdika motorized artillery system, three 122mm D-30 howitzers, a US-manufactured 105mm M102 howitzer and a Khmara electronic warfare station," the ministry said in a statement.

❤

Please, tell me please, where could I bet that there will not exist Ukrainian state after 3 months?

💙Slava ukraini 💛🇺🇦 🇺🇸

DragonFire? Sounds like a James Bond weapon.

What happens if any EU or other Western troops dispatched to "Away from Front Lines" actually come under fire/attack from the enemy? Do they not fire back ???

Balls of Steel

Imagine if men like him got movie deals after all of this

Over the past 24 hours, the Russian Armed Forces hit a launcher of the IRIS-T anti-aircraft missile system, the Russian Ministry of Defense said. "The launcher of the German-made IRIS-T anti-aircraft missile system and an ammunition depot were destroyed," the ministry said. The personnel and equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were also defeated in 129 districts. The Russian Armed Forces also shot down 41 unmanned aerial vehicles, three Hammer and JDAM guided bombs, as well as one HIMARS MLRS shell of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the ministry said. "Over the past 24 hours, air defense systems shot down 41 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles, 3 Hammer guided aerial bombs made in France and a JDAM made in the US, as well as a missile of the US-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket system," the ministry said. At the same time, units of the Russian North group of forces hit the personnel and equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the regions of Kharkov and Sumy in the Belgorod direction. "In the Belgorod direction, units of the North group of troops, with the support of aviation and artillery, hit the personnel and equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the areas of the settlements of Ternovaya, Gatishche in the Kharkov region and Radyanskoye in the Sumy region," the ministry said.

Such a friggin great interview!

Might Europeans toss the submission vs the resistance coin?

Will Iran, North Korea, China, South Africa all be in Moscow for the victory parade?

Journo-Hobbits are wildly detached from the reality of this our lost war.

Watching this on saturday..some good new abt Ukraine bil..Trump is positive if the bil is in form of a loan..thats good news imo👍👍

Que chevere!

Send Boris

Who generated the 451k figure? BBC figure for Russian KIA is arguably the most reliable but probably a little under the true figure.

Yuri Gagarin,uraaaa

Constructive interference does not make a laser more than the sum of its parts. If the interference is optimal, it just makes it equal to the sum of all smaller lasers.

tell us about the laser!!! ohhhh its all UNKNOWN

Perhaps Europe should do as whip round and give Ukrainian front line troops a very healthy combat pay rise and health insurance premiums paid for life in European medical facilities. May turn out to be a very effective and inexpensive investment.

fascinating military info but should this be made public? Isn't Russia listening as well ?
