**Putin has never GAF about the lives of Russian troops save, perhaps, for which Russians are mobilized.**

They just invoke one of Stalin's most cynical mots:"One man dead is a tragedy, a million deaths is just a number in a statistic."

An armed force which only cares about spent equipment will run into manpower problems. Western tanks had been designed with high survivability, while even T90M vectors suffer catastrophic "jack-in-the-box" turret aviation due to a design flaw at the base of disregarding your own fatalities.

As was mentioned in the video, if Russia could have "steamrollered" their way into Ukraine, taking the country in 10 days or so, then why didn't they? Because they couldn't, that's why. They vastly over-estimated the strength and capability of their armed forces. And once military support from the West began arriving in Ukraine, that compounded the Kremlin's problems further still....

The soviets dismantled something like 10,000 nukes and left about 3000 so those that are still there now maybe they work well, the best ones. also they have built a fair few new nuke missiles so you'd assume they made sure the warheads are active and functioning, if not brand new.

Nobody really knows how well their nukes work. Not even Russians

@404 : You and the other two bots can keep dreaming. Me, I think Russia’s incompetence with its military could result in a nuclear whoopsie, including the captured Zap nuclear power plant, not to mention a dirty bomb. The Chernobyl disaster was actually a GOOD result, and could have been much worse, including a radioactive fallout hitting Europe.

Huh?

@@404killer Your caution is warranted, though it's more than likely that their nukes are the same as their tanks. Many that have to be refurbished but even with only 10% working, 300 nukes is a world ending situation. I don't think that the world is safe, I think that most of the world realized that war doesn't make you as much money as other scams.

At least they have something to show for it. The money they did spend on their military just got blown up. In other words, if Russia had minded their own business and stayed in their own borders, the oligarchs could have their superyachts and everything would be fine.

In Russia, vodka production was largely by local distillers, a garage industry. One man in a shed. Thousands of very small suppliers, everywhere. Then the Russian Gov made it illegal, and took all vodka production under national ownership and control. The aim wasn't to stop people drinking. It was the opposite; They made it really cheap, so even the lowliest worker could easily afford vodka. The Russian Gov knew that if it kept most of the population in a semi-inebriated state, they would have no trouble from them.

Putin was far more that a clerk. In GDR he had authority over Stasi agents.

Be careful, regarding which training and experience Putin had. My late father in law, Klaus Bleibaum, was a former GDR officer and the military liaison to Putin in Dresden. My father in law has also been working as a spy for the GDR. When he retired as a spy, he became a staff officier (Oberstleutnant) with the Grenztruppen, directly under Generalmajor Horst Stechbart. My father in law said that Putin had military training and knew what he did. When a german spy has enough military training to become a staff officier immediately after retiring as a spy, you can assume that a russian KGB officier of Putin's rank has similar military training and experience. Wearing civlilian clothes and keeping a low profile doesn't nessecarily make you a cilvilian and unexpirienced in military matters. Don't let yourself be fooled into underestimating your opponent.

China wants the land back that Russia took from the Qing Dynasty in the 1800's. In the 2010's, the CCP tried to actually buy up all the land surrounding Lake Baikal secretly, likely to try to fix the massive droughts ongoing in northern China, until the Russian government found out and vetoed every single sale. Several documents have been leaked that outline Russian doctrine during a war with China, which included a literal rolling nuclear artillery barrage. China is not a Russian friend, and Putin has literally backed Russia into a corner where the only actual end point for the nation will be war with China and/or some kind of revolution inside Russia

Behind them, artillery has time to work out on which part of the barrel the shell goes in, drone operators have time to launch some Lancet drones, and some FAB-3000 are ordered.

That old Soviet stuff is trash but it can be effective, just look at Ukraine and how they have used their old stuff much more effectively

By "generic" I presume you mean "inadequate".

Just like russia didn't have 1 milion of uniforms when starting invasion in 2022?

That was another who did not heed his generals. As with Putin now, there was no-one to moderate his arrogance.

They are losing to equipment first world countries are trying to offload to restock their own warehouses with upgraded versions. Its a joke.

It would be a viscious and ugly 20 minutes.

Yea the US would do the same they did to Iraq/Iran (not sure which) where they systematically destroyed and bombed the air defences before using a combined arms to blitz the country.

Yes, we can. it would be even worse disaster that actually in Ukraine. But I would not overestimate military power of countries like China or India as they have large but totally inexperienced armies.

One of Putins problems, he does not know what is real because people will not tell him the truth.

Sadly they have a lot of paper so they can still inflict a lot of paper cuts, otherwise they wouldn't be so much of an issue.

And China is a paper Dragon

We're replacing the ancient A-10 with the modern F-35

is that the bear they chose?

But, hey, they have all those Ukrainian washing machines, right? :O

@@rcchin7897 Little do they know that the paper Russian bear is not machine washable :(

They could never have done it without the billions in US aid. 300KTrucks and jeeps,12000 AFV's, planes tanks,you name it we sent it.

Strategic empathy, Algi. Russia absolutely feels that NATO in Ukraine is a huge threat to them. They can't have been more clear. Is NATO a threat to them? Yes. I very much think it is.

But Russians don't know how weak the Russian military is, because telling the truth about the Russian military is a crime, punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Its the only way that Putin can remain in power.

@@scene2much the reason why the United States military as well as other countries didn't really highlight how weak Russia is is we have to justify our defense budget. We have to say that they have 14,000 tanks, we don't have to tell them that they're 14,000 pieces of crap. The stuff that we use today, are toys costs a fortune and the justification is that the other guy has more. Or they're better than the stuff that we have. The F-4 Phantom would be nothing on paper compared to the mig-25 foxbat, and that was widely believed until we got an actual fox bat Landing in japan. Upon close evaluation we found out that this is really a piece of garbage, but because of the fear of the foxbat it Justified the Department of Defense to develop the F-15 Eagle to replace the F4 Phantom.

😂 that's as far as the West could admit losing to Russia

@@ikaustralia how can you lose to a country that has the same gdp as spain, and has no real modern equipment? only reason would be the size of the army but not even that helped them

@@alsacestyle you do know the difference between debt and actual capital, right? If Russia increases their debt level to that of any western economy, it would appear 50 times richer in GDP 🫡

​@@ikaustralia i don't give a damn about debt, russia has the gdp of spain that's a fact

The worst strategic blunder by the US is forcing Russia work with China. The Russian economy is actually flourishing after the economic blockades by Europe.

Not even close if u look up there production numbers it’s crazy how much crap they built

@@MrTangolizardThe Soviets built a lot, but after the Cold War much of that was just dumped in the open in ‘storage sites’. A lot of the equipment has been sitting out in the open for years, barely protected from weather or looters. Somewhere in 2022 there was a report that a commander of one of those sites had committed suicide because it was found that most of the tanks no longer had engines, wiring, computers, etc. It had all been stolen and sold by corrupt troops.

​@@nemesisproject399nope. Not even close. What Russia can mass produce is not fit for use. What the produce that is fit for use they cannot mass produce. Mass production as a strategy is simply not in Russia's skill tree.

Agreed,in the 80s the US continuously raised its defence spending,the USSR which was bigger then simply could not keep up and folded.

Plus Russian arms sales to other countries have really dropped lately as their equipment is garbage and nobody wants it. They can get better equipment from South Korea etc.

The Soviet Economy was smaller than the Candian Province of Ontario.

@@SnakePliskin762 and so ended WW3. It remains to be seen what form WW4 takes.

It might nd up being the Aral Sea Fleet.

We could rename it to the Black Sea Submarine Fleet.

They probably raided some Ukrainian museums.

Yep. Much is said about how Russia was the real power behind defeating the Nazis. Without US Lend/Lease Operation Barbarossa would have succeeded

Stalin was head of the Soviet Union which was twice the size. Putin is the head of a much stripped down federation of a poor country called ruzzia that is held together through oil and gas money, and happens to sit on the Soviet legacy. Stalin was happy to sacrifice millions of Ukrainians for his cause. The current Ukrainians aren't going back to being ruzzian cannon fodder. Phillip.

just because they are struggling it dosen't mean they are weak

@@ShonjayMendoncaThis is them fighting a country right on their Western boarder and they are still struggling. Imagine if they had to move all of their forces through bottlenecks like ships and planes like in the US-Iraq war. I’m not even sure if they would be able to maintain a foothold for more than a week at a time.

@@ShonjayMendoncayeah but it is a big country and I know Ukrainian does get a lot of help since it is also struggling but isn’t china helping Russia since china and Russia could most likely beat the U.S in a war? China is helping Russia a lot you know but I will agree both countries are struggling and

​@Random_kid_on_youtube876 no, Russia and China could not take the US in a war. They would lose even if they got NK and Iran to help. It wouldn't even be close.

@@Random_kid_on_youtube876 China has been helping Russia, yes. But China and Russia could not defeat the US military in a full on war. The Chinese military is just as corrupt and defunct as Russia’s; just this week they had a rocket malfunction and explode in the countryside during a routine test, there’s satellite images of Chinese missile silos being rusted shut, rumors that some of their missiles have had their fuel sold off and replaced with water, this year they had a military submarine go offline and they left their (presumably) trained crew to die at the bottom of the ocean, etc. And that’s on top of their myriad of major domestic issues such as a crashing housing market, exploding unemployment and homelessness, a massive drop in exports, nationwide droughts and floods taking place each year since the start of Covid, Lying Flat, Let It Rot and White Paper civil unrest, etc.

@@jackwalker9492 USA is only strong at Hollywood movies, you can't even beat Afghanistan western bot

NCOs are arguably the biggest force multiplier in Western militaries, and they are virtually absent from all "OPFOR" militaries(Russia, Iran, PRC, DPRK) because their own societies prohibit such initiative and creativity on the microscopic level. So their militaries are managed from the top-down, with poorly-trained(relative to the West) line soldiers just being ordered to maneuver in a given direction, regardless of the battlefield's often ever-changing status.

Russia have lots and lots of low tech Artillery and that can cause many problems for the opposing side choose what

This campaign never intended to get to kharkiv. Even the Russians knew that the ~30-40k Troops that gathered there, wouldn't be able to take kharkiv. On all the other points I agree with what you said.

"Stop hitting yourself" - Sun Tzu

@@PandabroEdits Did they really?? first stage was meant ot go all the way to the city with follow up attacks, then the plan was a 50km security zone then a 20km one, then it was to draw in ukrainian reserves, and they are still downgrading their "starting" official goal, and failing all of them

@@PandabroEdits .... Come on guy, after 2.5 years you should know better than that. Just like how each major failure causes Russia to change its reason and goals for the war- I think the different claimed causes for the war are now up to 15 while the goals been altered over a dozen times- the Kharkiv failure becoming more and more obvious caused the stated goal of the offensive to keep changing, from taking Kharkiv, to creating a 50km "buffer zone, then a 20km "buffer", next it was to draw in AFUs reserves and stretch the lines and tomorrow itll change again. Russia has used this approach since day 1, attempting to hide each massive failures actual size by using less informed people, who they know are likely to repeat whatever new narrative they create

Russia made no gains they advanced into Kill Zones now proven by the 12% survival rate!
