This guest actually has something to say. He doesn't ramble on about obvious/trite things. After he's done I feel like I have learned something.
An outstanding analysis. Bravo sir. The west is throwing munitions at Ukraine like a rich family with poor cousins. Either get in with both feet or mediate a peace. Proving the worst ally is the one who says “I’m here for you…..sorta..”
Prof. Clarke and Bronk from RUSI stand out.
@@scania1982 Agreed.
Justin Bronk is a great guest on these issues. He clawed his way up to his current position through his hard work and absurd knowledge. How well respected does one have to be for US Air Force generals to listen to what you say about modern and future air combat trends despite the fact you have no military aviation experience? A lot
You mean its a great propaganda parrot and liar.
@@masterrubyan2976 no. I dont. See, just because you don't like the facts, doesn't make it propaganda. Its not bronk's fault that the Russian air defense operators seem borderline incompetent
Damn is there anything this guys doesn’t know in detail? Where did they find such a brilliant freak as this? He could probably run the military just himself. He certainly knows more than I’ve ever heard from men twice his age. Good on his parents and whoever trained him.
I agree.
😂🤣😂🤦🏽♂️🥴🤡
Justin Bronk is always worth listening to. I would be very interested in hearing his thoughts on the recent commitment by Sweden to supply older support aircraft.
I wish Denmark will deliver the F-16 planes we promised before 2030, but I doubt it. SAD!
Well spoken👍, and realistic analysis
This guy is one of the best analysts out there wrt aircraft wrt this war, He always has a lot of good information to deliver. I would guess that he has this pretty much right.
This fellow sounds quite bright.
We need this delusional proffessor could go one one with Prof Mearsheimer or Col Jacques Baud. Men who have actually been in a fight.
Why not base the F-16s donated to Ukraine just over the border in Romania or Poland? Putin wouldn't dare attack a NATO member country and therefore presumably those F-16s would be completely safe at a Romanian or Polish air base with runways in good order? Apparently F-16s can fly up to 2,200 nautical miles without refueling. From the Romanian border to Crimea is about 300 nautical miles. Lubllin Poland to Donetsk is about 700 miles so it's perfectly do-able as long as these NATO partners agree.
Professor Bronk is very knowledgeable
at reading out his lines as provided ... yes.
😂🤣😂🤦🏽♂️🥴🤡
Poor putler can’t seem to catch a break.
Poor childish creep can't even spell someone's name properly
I'd much rather be him than Zelensky right now, that's for sure.
The Belgian contribution to this sounds breathtaking!
If all the 4 countries fulfil their F-16 pledges we are talking about 80 aircraft or about 5 squadrons. This will be a game changer for Ukraine. The F-16 is swiss army knife weapons platform. It can carry:
AIM120D AA missiles - 180km range, can take down the Su-34 launching the glide bombs
Sidewinder missiles for Drones and cruise missiles
JDAM - Precision glide bomb
AGM-158 JASSM - long range cruise missile
AGM-84 Harpoon Anti-Ship missile - 220km range
30mm cannon for drones, ground strafing
Vraiment formidable.
The Czech contributions to Ukraine have been not too shabby either 👍
I agree, but I must admit disappointment with the USA. I know just in the past 5 years they have retired more F-16s from a single training base locally than western Europe have donated. Admittedly this is a training base transitioning to F-35, and the planes are likely training variants rather than combat models, but the USA literally has a thousand or more sitting here in the desert.
F-16s are very special......👍
I assume this was taped prior to Sweden donating an AWACs, shame I'm curious to hear Justin's thoughts on that addition. I know this would never happen for "escalatory" reasons, but it would be great if Ukraine could park the F-16s in Poland when not in use. I mean it's only fair Ukraine gets a "home base/safe zone", Russia has had one this entire war.
Russia will hit them wherever they are.
There are donatig 2 but you are right, thet would have been very interesting !!
I thought the same. Park the F-16s at an air base in Poland or Romania. Putler wouldn't dare attack a NATO country and therefore they would be perfectly safe there and the distances are well within an F-16s operating range even without refueling.
Knows his stuff
Excellent news!
Mr. Bronk's very sober assessment of the F-16's limitations is much appreciated.
Based on the sensitivity of the F-16 to runway conditions, I still wish the Saab Gripen and/or the A-10 were among the mix.
The Gripen is a great aircraft. But, the A-10 needs a final act before it's retired, it's 'swan song'; - tough, low maintenance, able to use austere runways, oh, and that gun BRRRRRT!
It will not retire, the US just made a new version of the A 10 !!
@@luisekjeldsen1515 Interesting! Do you have a link?
I have seen CZcams videos claiming a 'new' A-10. But the videos were bogus, with photoshopped thumbnails.
At best, they discussed some upgrades - new wings, improved avionic and wing mounted weapons controls.
It seems to be that a change in plans - to NOT retire the A-10, would be major headlines. I hope you have a credible source for a 'new' version.
@@gregparrott You are right that is my bad, it was actually "just " an uprade : www.google.com/search?q=the+us+new+a+10+thunderbolt&oq=the+us+new+a+10+thunder&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgCECEYoAEyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRifBTIHCAQQIRifBTIHCAUQIRifBTIHCAYQIRifBTIHCAcQIRifBTIHCAgQIRifBTIHCAkQIRifBdIBCjEyNDM1ajBqMTWoAgiwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:014f7356,vid:DENooT2Y34k,st:0
There's a lengthy interview Prof Bronk did with an air power focused YT channel a while ago where he thought Gripen was a better choice than F-16, for some of the reasons he discussed here.
A-10 is not a good choice for Ukraine. It only works if you have air supremacy like the USA does. A-10 would get wrecked by the massed ground based anti-air in the Ukraine war.
@@shiorisaitou4846 Yeah, it's too bad that the A-10 is ill suited, but I understand the reasoning for reaching that conclusion.
I've not heard much about Russia's air defense, and what I have heard is about its relative lack of success against drones, GMLRS and ATACMs.
Still, if Ukraine could have just a few A-10s for a 'cameo', it would be worth the Brrrrt!
The man
This is just a repeat of part of Justin's interview you broadcast yesterday. I don't need it twice.
#StandWithUkraine 🙏🇺🇦
The war pigs always will.. 🐷
Can anyone point out the last time in history any dictator had a ‘happy ending’?
Never heard about Mao or Franco?
Old video, new title, and timestamp! In other words, your audience saw this video days ago! Stop posting OLD videos.
Amen
I love how you foreign enemy trolls make a comment, then answer yourselves in the reply section.....when you leave to die in ukraine komrade foolio?
I hadn't seen it.
@@LarsRyeJeppesen It is new the commenter ill-informed
It's not so much the runways it's the support facility that are also damaged.
This is a very informative video. A bit dry to be sure, but I guess that’s unavoidable given the detail.
Putin should save his face and negotiate rather than defeated all the way , many Russian lives are wasted so is innocent Ukrainians due to Putins fooly , ty Times Radio ❤from USA
Slava Ukraini! 💙💛
You are double posting the same video with a different title.
Free Scotland and Ireland now😎
Why is Zelensky not attacking Russia if this is a war ?
Because its all false with the false names. This guy is also, the theater, weekend scientists and artists with no names have their best and the only chance to get known and use charities for the living. None of them wants to go working hard like normal people should do. These ones are special, cruel in case a more special one comes around. Animals.
@@engsharks Mentally ill.
Bye.
Where are the F16's going to be based? Russia has been doing number on the airfields. From my understanding they are really heavily damaged.
Ffs 197 airfields in Ukraine . But there based in East Poland 🇵🇱 🤫
Well Ukraine are still using migs hardly any Ukraine runways are damaged
Justin is right, but the F16s will sleep in Poland but flying over Ukraine in daily missions.
It's hard to see F16's being effective in Ukraine. Similar to the complex Abrams.
There is an unpleasent echo in the audio
These video titles are misleading.
Justin is lucky he’s not my personal friend. Because I would never stop asking him questions.
Ukraine has a lot of modern civilian airports sitting empty abd unused. Most of them were built or renovated over the last 3-15 years, so runways shouldn't be an issue for them
Yeah stop re posting
These jets are going to have to be used wisely and sparingly. They don't have air superiority and won't. They need more, a LOT more jets to accomplish that (even still is a difficult objective) and without air superiority then any chance for a real war changing offensive is nothing more than a dose of unfounded hope. I'm glad they're getting more capabilities and technologies from western countries but what's being given to them still isn't even close to enough.
Either this guy is wearing the same suit from 2 days ago or this is the same video from 2 days ago.
If he's an underpaid reported then he's been wearing the same suit for the last 2 weeks.
Hi all,
I quite often watch your channel, which has some good, relevant content. However, I understand you may want to repeat a catchphrase, but to repeat a major section of a previous podcast video with a 'new' title is very off-putting - just saying...
seems these F16s would be most effective for Ukraine in the Wild Weasel role - SEAD. they've been using Russian jets w/o complementary systems to launch HARM missiles. they're not great.
Two young guys. Both so ignorant. On times radio.
Be sure to get the same video with a different title:
I would be very disheartened if I was a Ukraine front-line military commander listening to this analysis.
Times Radio is a pro Russian propaganda channel masquerading as a pro Ukrainian / West channel so every video plays up Russian potential and highlights the difficulties Ukraine is facing and that their situation is hopeless.
🤦♂️ The propaganda on here is strong
Aww diddums.
What nobody is talking about is that Russia is attacking all Ukraine airfields. Russia knows that F16s are coming, so they are bombing a majority of Ukrainian airfields.
F16s are an amazing aircraft. The only problem is it only has one engine, that means it needs a clean runway. Dual engine jet fighters can recover if they get FOD damage. So by damaging all the airfields in Ukraine, where are they going to fly F16s?
When i see what Ukrainian were able to do with almost no modern munitions and weapons, the runway problem shall certainly not be a blocking one.
@@Ivangold2004 "Almost no" = $10s of billions... and they're still losing land against an army of soliders who are fighting with shovels and drinking from puddles.
@@CountDuckEggwhat a badly formed point. Work harder Ivan
@user-tq9vk4vt5p Ah, August. I remember when the Ukraine supporters said that there would be a summer beach party in Crimea in August 2023. Of course, Ukraine and all their super weapons didn't even breach the first line of Russia's defences.
@@markfoth1226 Facts hurts.(
US/EU aircraft need a LOT of skilled ground support...nothing like MIGS
Russian aircraft have a low serviceably do to the very poor build quality this is one of reasons that India and other countries no long buys Russian made aircraft.
He'd probably do better in writing.
Crazy how you keep reposting the same content with repackaged title. I watch this yesterday. . .
may be it is problems with your memory.
This guy is knowledgeable but like all young people speaks so fast it is almost unintelligible!
Sadly sense America weapons got to the area late how really effective is the F-16 going to be ?
Ukrainians F-16 deployment plans were dealt a significant blow in the past 12 hours with a series of Russian hypersonic zircon strikes to key airbases and support infrastructure, apparently many key personnel (pilots in training, instructors, weapons and maintenance staff etc) both foreign and Ukrainian were also lost.
Funny that we haven't heard this earth-shaking news from anyone else, Sergey?
@@sugoidessho you are aware that's theirs a lot that Western media won't publish.
Wished they would tell us in regular folk language. Not everyone got a Harvard degree and learned all them fancy words
I think the Swedish Gripen is a better fit to Ukrainian runway or roadway pavements; greatly more proficient needing less ground support technicians and maintenance equipment. Gripen can land and take off from multiple roadway locations with small ground crews.
Doesn't matter how well it fits if it hasn't been manufactured.
Totally agree on the Gripen, but the problem is available inventory of airframes, spare parts, and training facilities. The F16 is clearly a worse option except that it is widely available.
F16 doesn't threaten US dominance as the main military jet supplier to Europe, but Gripen does. US corporate interests far outweigh military considerations in this war. F16 will probably be used over Black Sea and Crimea where the threat from Russian countermeasures may already be in decline.
Then why doesn't anyone want to buy Gripens?
Didn't think so......
Old Video...click bait
US has to step up and send some Blackhawks, Apache and A10s they have thousands in stock.
plus Rambo, Tom Cruise and Chuck Norris 😵💫 go in bed kid
@@elbibwen3019 I was a kid 30 years ago, why are USA so afraid of Russia? They havent donated anything significant really, 1 Patriot system out of 900 owned, few Tanks, few artilleri pieces and few tanks. Isnt US a military superpower??
What happens to Ukraine if Russia loses manpower? It is a figment of the imagination..
Ukrainians are desperately short of men? Blasphemy! Our Savior of the West Zelensky told us loud and clear Ukrainian losses are minimal - 30k at most.
Are you calling Zelensky a liar?
In the immortal words of Saint Greta of the Church of Climate: How dare you?
Putin's latest book......Spanish for dummies
How is Ukraine going to protect their F16s while they are not in the air ??
Underground hangars, already being built.
It's called FOD Walkdown. FOD is foreign object damage. It's done once daily at 0730.
Hmmm-he is saying WRONG PLANE-and he makes that case pretty well.F-18. F-15 or even F-35(VTOL version) all better choices-or even better the SAAB
Long PERFECT runway required-splatter a few runways-and that is that.
Now perhaps the Ukrainians will surprise us-and figure a way to strap rockets on them(Jet-Assist-Take-Off-JATO)-so much much shorter runways. can be used-with full loads.Does not sound like they will be very useful-BUT Ukrainians have surprised us before-smart clever motivated so we will see.
Oh well this has evolved/devolved into a drone war-with a large dollop of Electronic warfare-and WW1-not what anyone predicted
We shall see what effect F-16’s actually have very soon. I don’t think they can or will use Western tactics. They will need to use their standoff capabilities along with drone surveillance to more quickly respond to actions on the ground and be able to engage with Soviet aircraft in dogfights. F-16’s were built for dogfighting
F16 is being used because it's available. The FOD (Foreign object damage) problem could cause problems for the Ukraine. Really poor design.
It is just a matter of keeping a runway clean. What is the distance difference in air intake between an F16 and an SU27? 60cm?
Gripen is a better choice than F-16 if you compare. F-16 you have to treat like a primadonna.
Grippin is a joke. That's why nobody buys them.
Justin isn't confident 😄
I wonder if Pakistan will be stripped of the F16s donated to them!
Any news about the Abrams tanks? 31 delivered and how many are kaput? 12 of the 31.... One did meet a T-80B3 it destroyed the Abrams with one shot.... By the way Abrams is from 1972 and T-80 from 1973. Just as I do say, Abrams old antiques. And T-80B3 is modernised fresh version. And they didn't even meet a T90M
Not so much a double whammy from Justin as a double fib.
Will Trumps 34 criminal conviction hurt Putin's plans.
they will make good movies about this for decades....
Ukraine has no soldiers and there are French soldiers being killed in Charsiv Yar and Netailove. You're spouting BS.
Do you get your "news" from Russia One? Simanyan or Solovyev? Or Medvedev or Lavrov, perhaps? 🤣🤣🤣
Trump goes down. Putin going down. Nice time in world history !
When is this channel going to tell its viewers about how we could all be nuked soon
Ever thought of not being an afraid wimp all the time? You're seriously pathetic
This guy again? Trying to trick and blind the audience... great, the truth will be seen soon, but it will be late.
Where is your evidence for that silly comment?
USA is learning war is much different with a near peer. Russia has neutralized every "game changing" weapon sent.
Yeah Ivan, everything is "going according to plan". 3-day SMO has somehow become a 2+ year war for ruZZia with half a million dead/wounded ruZZian soldiers and captured/damaged equipment losses in the thousands not to mention a third of the Black Sea Fleet destroyed by a country with no navy. Yeah it's going really well for Mad Vlad ...
Who is President in Ukraine? Zelensky term ended 20th May. No elections because he would lose and Nulands war would end
How many elections were held in the USSR between 1941 and 1945?
Martial law means suspension of elections. Holding elections now would be unconstitutional.
During martial law the ukrainian president remains president even if it exceeds the initial term. It’s foreseen in ukrainian constitution
Whatever the Russian losses are you can multiply that by 10 or more for Ukrainian losses, claimed by Russia to be around 1500 per day which is 45000 per month or over a half a million per year.
🤣
@@ddelin100 Ukraine had a large army at the start and even after aggressive mobilization and a lot of volunteers they don't any more.
It's the opposite for the Russians.

This is insane - this analyst is so ill informed about attrition warfare and the new battlefield tactics.
There are no new troops in Ukraine.
When will the times admit that the war is lost?
Does he know that we will be in WWII TERRITORY NOW?
The russians have lost. Not only will they have troops who are untrained and poorly supported, they lack (by the day) the armoured and air support that any army needs to push forward. Ukraine will slowly grind the russians into the mud as time goes by. The sooner Pootin realises this and saves what he has left the better (for him) otherwise he will have nothing of any value to defend his country from internal strife. I am sure China is watching with regard to Mongolia and other eastern areas within russia.
Slava Ukaraini
Bronk brings up good points, but his overall tone is negative and doesn't take into account how adept Ukraine is at adapting. People like Bronk are the same ilk who suggested Ukraine would fall quickly. It's important to be realistic, but being too negative is just as unrealistic as being too optimistic.
I don't think I've heard him say that Ukraine was going to fall quickly. If anything in the first year or so (after the first month) he seemed to be saying that Ukraine may well repel the Russians quite quickly.
What he says isn't negative, unless that is you only ever to hear "good" news.
What it should be is a wake-up call to the Western governments. This has been said many times by Bronk, and Perun, and others. The F-16 is not the best aircraft, the Swedish equivalents (Gripen?) would be so much better because they are designed to operate from bases in the conditions that Bronk describes.
Still no matter what they use it won’t make any difference.
Ukraine isn't adept at anything but corruption.
@@stu281 Yes, Russians are superhuman and their stockpiles of Soviet scrap are inexhaustible. Any serious analyst knows that if the West, and the US in particular, got serious then Russia might as well go home now. Putin knows this and it's why he invests so much in his disinformation efforts. Russia have been desperately scrambling to make breakthroughs while Ukraine have been starved of resources and got almost nowhere. Even with the limited Ukrainian aid that's arrived thus far they are struggling big time and even being pushed back in some areas. Ukraine are mobilising a lot more men now and their partners are waking up to the stakes. The prognosis for Russia going forward is not good.
