In Support for Russia from Nigeria

Berletic - one of the best analysts on geo and military politics

I have been following your program for a long time, because it's definitely one of the best analyses on the internet. Thanks from 🇸🇪🇵🇱!

An entire Nato and EU shadow army from 50 countries, all failed to beat one Russian army. Nato is a barking dg

Russia proved on a battlefiled that it is far ahead of the West in all advanced and conventional weaponry.

In the new package there is a lot of money for MIC, for the big guy and some old equipment for Ukraine. Just to make them survive until the election.

Thanks Brian always look forward to your updates

Your channel is a glimpse in the future All your analysis over the last 2 years gradually comes out in the western media long after you have said it

Russians had night vision for decades, it's why we tried to make that desert night camo back in the 80's/90's to counter what Russia already had in the 70's. Claiming they don't have NV is one of the dumbest things I've heard.

10 000 plus views and 2 400 likes in less than 2 hours? in a sunday morning? For sure i´m not wrong about the quality and truth we find in The New Atlas. Congrats from Portugal, Brian

Well done Brian for the Update 🎉🎉

Great to see Brian sporting slightly different attire, another nice shirt. I respect a man that delivers the data with such taste! Best hair style on the internet! Love you Brian! Ps… the content is bang on accurate as to your normal standards !!!

All in all Russia proved on a battlefield that it is far ahead of US and NATO both in weaponry and quality of strategic and tactical intelligence and generals.

You seem to have set very high standards for yourself Brian, your videos consistently attest to this. Thank you so much once again.

Keep up your good work Brian, contradicting the lies from London's "foreign"army.

I was 11 hotel mechanized infantry in the US ARMY in the 1990’s operating the BGM-71 TOW missile and the twin mounted M-901 IFV now retired replaced by the M2 Bradley that was designed for the M1-A1 and A2 Abrahm tanks now used mainly for 19 Delta Cavalry Scouts which I also were in 2003 during OIF/OEF. The TOWS are old and outdated first made in Vietnam. The AT-4 is early 1990’s light anti armor not design for taking out heavy tanks. The Javelin which replaced the bigger dragon was early 2000. We never tested these on Russian tanks. We were using them for counter insurgency which Rumsfeld turned the DOD strategy in 2006 from Cold War to combat teams. I served in the Cold War in early 80’s. Our military have downsized for counter insurgency not PEER TO PEER wars. The weapons systems the US military uses is NOT PEER TO PEER military anymore. The contractors do not care about survival in the west especially the USA but profit. The NATO strategy is insane. My last mission was NATO 2009. What a joke the US military and NATO is. They are committing suicide attempting to fight superpowers like Russia and China who is superior to them in every way. USA AND NATO places LGBTQI and sexual harassment over combat training. If you believe the US GOVERNMENT, EU and their media YOU NEED YOUR BRAIN CHECKED. Thanks BRIAN for your truthful journalism. me ( combat disabled pissed off 11 bravo/19 delta US ARMY)

Russia SWARMS Krasnohorivka with Upgraded Turtle Tanks Mighty Turtles with Titanium Shovels. "Can you Dig it" said Cyrus "So much Russia winning alone while the EU and Nato lose together"

ALL OF THESE WEAPONS THAT THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY ARE SENDING WERE ALWAYS BEEN SENT LONG AGO

one of my favourite channels as Mr Berletic deals in Facts .thank you

Keep up the great work Brian. Thanks

Brian, thank you for your very insightful and highly informative analysis of the USA-NATO proxy war against the Russian Federation. In my view, your effort, courage, and accuracy in your commentary is second to none, and compliments other independent journalists in historical facts and geopolitics Thank you!

Whoa! It's "casual Sunday". ; ) Thanks Brian, great video as usual. Cheers from America.

Brilliant anaylisys , as usual !

Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity. In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas. If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy. Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time. Russia's national security was compromised once nato began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining nato was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns. 20th September, 2021. Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO. NATO is not a defensive alliance. Nato illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter). We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster? Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest. Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland. Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”. Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it. Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country. Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list. Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list. There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence). The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present. Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave. Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) RIP. The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims). The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter. I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment. I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion. I have provided a brief summary of events that took place. In order to explain this whole situation in great detail, a book would need to be written. Hopefully someone will write an UNBIASED book, stating facts and allowing the readers to form their own judgments. Everything I said can be fact checked and verified.

Less of the same is great description

Brian looks like he's going bowling after the show.

The amount of M113 have been send to Ukraine was mindblowing, it was around 800 pieces. Washington alrwady gave Kyiv 186 Bradley, and now give another 100 pieces. Before the War, Ukraine was the second largest Ground Forces in Europe, but many peoples in the West think Ukraine is small country with small military capability.

How does ISW know the Russian capacity to produce Iskander rockets??

Hey, nice and informal on a Sunday. 😊 Thanks for your hard work in keeping us informed.

"So much Russia winning alone while the EU and Nato lose together" -Me 2023 "The situation develops not in Ukraines favor" -Captain Obvious

And how many trillions USA in debt again? No national health service, several homeless, lack of help to military veterans etc etc…..

I can’t thank you enough for your in-depth, comprehensive and detailed analyses. Amazing work, Brian. I learn so much from you.

In 1997 I was working in Lockheed-Martin in Marietta GA. The everage age of top engineers at that time was over 65. No new engineers of the same quality can be found in US or EU any more. That's the reason US is far behind Russia in new advanced weapons and jets.

As ever informed analysis from the brilliant Brian Berletic.

Oh, Raytheon is asking the retirees to come back and restart Stinger Missile production...hmmm I wonder if some Raytheon executive in the past probably screwed these guys out of their pension and laid them off years ago and that is why they are 'retired'?

ATACMS is a slower missile than the huge amount of Tochka-U Ukraine had in the beginning so it is easier to shoot down. On the other hand ATACMS is a bit more accurate and longer range. It is apparent Ukraine has only enough of ATACMS to attack a single target at a time, usually they pick a target in Crimea and can attack in intervals of 1 or 2 weeks, while Russia can attack many targets in Ukraine every day, quite successfully.

*Keep up the good work Brian.* 🇬🇧🤝🏻🇷🇺

attaching american missiles to soviet launchers is kinda crazy. it's a completely different tech, even if they adopted guidance protocol, it is a radio, so it's possible, but buk launchers were designed for a specific missile. it's not like you can put any bullet in your gun, pull the trigger and it will fire anyway. it might also blow up in your face, or they might down another boeing.

Good morning Brian

Brian thanks for the update and your carefully weighted insights 👍

It is very likely (almost certain in fact) that Russia has a far greater capability to produce Iskanders than the West admits, since we've already seen this to be the case in all the other Russian weapons capabilities. p.s. - The Wife and I both like the "less formal look". Goes with the Aussie mindset I suppose (where the no tie fashion is very well established)

That's right. Russia has all those wonder weapons in more quantity and better quality. If they are inching forward with these, how can the AFU possibly win with what they will get? Good argument there.

Thanks Brian, very informative

Thanks Brian for your hard work and great analysis , 🤔

Superb work as always Merci infiniment Paris 🙏🏼🕯🕯🙏🏼

Clear efficient sober 👏👏👏

Thank you, Brian, great reporting, always looking forward to hearing from you.🇨🇦

AID WITH NO MAIN BATTLE TANKS ,THATS ALL

Like your proxy scientific approach explaining the stuff upon detail analysis with citations backed up. ❤

Nice shirt Brian , it’s suits you well, thanks always for sharing your analysis 🙂

I saw a teardown of a Javelin missile and launcher. Every chip inside was a bleeding edge late 90's never intended for mass production with machine dependent code that is not really reusable. You can do every function those chips did at 200-300$ per all couple dozen of them did in 1999 for a single SOAC out of a cell phone in 2024 can do for 5$. You even get an accelerometer and can do INS corrections with the SOAC.

Thanks for the info, Brian. Like the new casual look👍

Western provisioning to Ukraine, 'tis but a speed bump.

So tired of hearing "61" billions. Weapons to Ukraine is 14 b and a certain part are weapons already delivered but until now not accounted for, AND a certain part are weapons to be produced in the future. NOT 61 BILLIONS IN WEAPONS NOW.

An excerpt : By the fall of last year, Khortitsa, which at the end of the 2022 was considered the largest military formation among the 4 main formations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (240-260 thousand people), lost 150 thousand in just one year. As a result, all the main units, I emphasize, the best that remain at Khortytsya now, concentrated for the defense of Chasov Yar - one at a time, and the majority have already been completely reorganized twice. That is, they were completely destroyed once or twice. But let's take a closer look at them, as this in itself is very interesting. In first place is the supporting and most combat-ready 93rd brigade “Kholodny Yar”. Almost a division in numbers. In two years it was destroyed twice. It is interesting that the “Kholodnye” were considered the most combat-ready, because they fought mainly with the best captured Russian equipment. These are primarily T-72, T-80 and even a few T-90 tanks. And also the best thing the Ukrops had - the T-64 Bulat. The “Kholodnye” were the favorites of the Americans, and, for example, during the autumn-summer campaign of 22, some units were directly led by American officers. True, when the Artyomovskaya meat grinder began, they quickly fled. In second place is the 46th airmobile (airborne) brigade, trained by the British in England, which, by the way, is the most unshabby - it was only reformed once. Next is the 92nd Air Assault Brigade (twice destroyed). These are generally suicide troops. Like the 110th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Avdeevka. They distinguished themselves by carrying out a massacre of our prisoners together with the Kraken battalion in the village of Novoselovskoye near Svatovo in the fall of the 22nd. Then 16 fighters of the Lugansk militia (now the same 4th brigade) died as martyrs. They put bags over their heads and suffocated them. Oh, what will happen when the Luhansk people reach 92nd. smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2024/04/they-went-to-hunt-for-glory.html

great video!

Thanks Brian..appreciated 😊👍

Another forensic dissection BB. Thank you Brian. 🎯

Thanks for yet another holistic & masterful evaluation on the stalemated conflict🙏🏻👍

Amazing analysis. Thanks Brian

Love your commentary

You are doing a great job. Keep up the good work

Great analysis as always!

This channel is always an eye opener

Thanks

Bonjour , merci .

❤Thank you very much for your professional insight.

Thank you, very much.

Thanks for your talk 👍

NATO weapons are the firearms equivalent of movie bar snacks.

Well done, a very insightful commentary!

Great info Brian! Thanks

Impeccable reporting and analysis. Also It’s nice hearing the tropical birds in the background. 🦜 Thank you Brian. 🙏

Thank you Brian good job

Thank you!

With thermals it is actually the reflecting mirror that is the cost as it has to be a gold film for effective SWIR reflection. No other material works as well. However the James Webb space telescope with its massive gold coated mirror still only used tens of grand of gold not millions. You can buy a good enough thermal camera for drone work for about 50$ these days.

There's brave then there's stupid

Great analysis, thanks bro.

The Australian government has just given Ukraine another $100 Million that they can siphon off into their own personal bank accounts. Australia has officially broken the $1 Billion threshold of funding and military support to Ukraine.

Super information, Brian. Thanks.

Thank you Brian .

Excellent as always.

thank you

I wonder if some of the reasons for the quality problems at Boeing is a combination of covid lock downs and defense manufacturers hiring what's left of the talent pool, making hiring by civilian industries impossible. It is also interesting that they closed down Stinger production and product development. Instead of upgrading the product, they are trying to find out how stuff was made in the 1980s.

Wunderwaffen galore!

Thank you ❤

Wonderful

You are best bro

Zelenssky needs to run now that's his running money

No tie? Image change? Never mind, report quality stays unchanged, high!

The biggest problem for me of using interceptor missiles against glide bombs is that probably you'll buy 3 or 4 glide bombs for the price of 1 interceptor missile.

Thanks again Brian for your great analysis and information . 👍

I like the new styling ❤

Great!

You look well in your casuals Brian ❤

Given that Ukraine is running out of trained combat troops, it would be useful to get some idea of the trained combat troops in each NATO country. I am pretty sure that Turkey has the largest army in NATO but how many of these are combat troops. The US must be next but again how many combat troops. My guess is that leaving out Turkey and the US, the rest of NATO would be limited in comparison to the troops currently employed in Ukraine. It would be quite good to see such an analysis from you.

New outfit? Looking good

Great report Brian 👍

cheers Brian👍👍

For the cost of producing one ATACMS ($1.7M), Russia can produce 85 UMPK glide bomb kits (~$20K).
