- On the eve of the Ukraine aid vote in the U.S. House of Representatives, Ukrainian frontline gunners told RFE/RL that they would lose the war without more ammunition. The troops say their artillery is the main thing keeping Russian tanks from overrunning Ukrainian infantry.

Do not make a counter offensive again if all cards are not on the table.
Ukrainian government stated months ago that they plan to spend the rest of 2024 on the defensive, basically to allow the Russians to tire themselves out.
As soon as their command is confident aid is coming they will release their reserves. At least that’s the expectation.
They dont have reserves. They have to lower the age for draft and even at that the Ukrainian men run like little girls because they dont want to fight 😂😂😂

It may or may not be 85% but the ones who oppose it are sure close to having their own maiden revolution that I wouldn’t bet on Georgia remaining calm. Right now Russia couldn’t afford to step in and bring “stability “

They need us to help them increase to a 1 to 3 ratio of all forces against the Russians. That includes people too. They need 3 times as much artillary capability and at least 1 to 3 ratio in all other aspects as well.

Maybe it's time to start bring up Apaches. UK is changing out old Apaches 🤷
Complex machines to both operate and maintain, expensive too. Ukraine need more what they have and can use, like this artillery system in the video.
We're not really...our AH-64D have been rebuilt into AH-64E. The small number not converted are non-flyers or being used to train ground crews for AH-64E.

Sweden might benefit from arm sales when Gripen fighters prove good in combat. They would get intel how to improve fighters against Russia etc. It is not only a one way deal Aid Program but opportunity.
Слава Україні! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦
"...it would require a technological advantage of Ukraine and it's partners over the Russian Army."
I'm thinking that if the UK comes through with their laser defense for UA, that might be a good and relatively cheap way to deal with incoming missiles and drones.
The US is testing similar defensive weapons and should do that as well.
This is win-win-win; UA gets a valuable defense against Russia's attacks, and the UK and US military+contractors get real-world testing of the systems.
This is a reminder that the average Estonian currently gives 12 times more out of pocket to Ukraine than the United States currently does.
I am not Estonian, but I have the utmost respect for them, and I wish my government would follow suit and possibly go beyond.
As little as a dollar extra per person would be all that it takes to take first place. We are quite literally each of us giving Ukraine pennies.
The West needs to stop mucking about and give Ukraine what they need to drive Putin's army back to Russia.

💪 777 💥 💙💛 Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Stolen from the British
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
The 777 is a British design howitzer built under licence in America, Its a joke the UK does not have any!
Did Joe apply for the license? Did he pass the driving test?
A modified water blaster could clear around mines.
Put it on a robot track, and have the water pressure just enough to wash away the soil but not detonate the mine.
There are plenty of engineering vehicles capable of effectively clear mines. The problem is that while you do that you are exposed to enemy artillery fire.
Thats pretty smart. Unfortunately the problem isnt actually clearing the mines, its the issue of covering them while exposed to russia's defense in depth which requires multiple defenses, trenches mines obstacles barbed wire booby traps, etc to be cleared while in full view of russian fields of fire, machineguns, ATGMs and helicopters launching missiles at the engineering units all while they have to clear the already dangerous obstacles. A tough task for any army
for sure it is not most precise. they have archers which are probably best artyliery in the world.
Lancet be like "mmm... Tasty!"
You orcs are figthing half a Billion Europeans. You can't win. That's a fact.

M777 howitser
!Hold Fast!
Very generous of Ukraine to share the aid package with Russia..
777 the best artillery? A joke isn't it? In modern warfare the enemy has your position in minutes!! And you are gone.
They also need much more artillery pieces and it's not all up to the US , NATO countries have the standard 155 MM artillery in most countries . It's a game changer . They need at least double what they currently have .
Wonder if we have have warthogs we could give them
We do, but the US Army wants them before anyone else gets them. Unfortunately they also wouldn't be able to do much for Ukraine right now. You need to be able to protect them by making the sky safe. You need to establish air supremacy first. Currently, they lack the means to do that. In the long run, maybe they'll eventually get some A-10s. But not before they can defend their skys.
I remember when people were saying the bigest arm supplier to Ukraine is Russia! What happend?
The Ukrainians have destroyed most of it as Russians didn't want to share
Its so convenient that Russia is red and Ukraine is blue (and yellow). Not sure why the bad guys always choose red.
Nice looking gun they got there..... Russia enjoys the 155 metal spray.
Those 155 rounds get used for horrible shit, once the wars over, and it turns out they’ve kept half of them hidden. And the copper bands on them. If you know, you know.
With a 10 to 1 advantage for seven months, Russia captured as much land as a large Boy Scout camp in the US (approx 200 sq mi).
I feel sorry for the Russian Lackeys!
That looked like a well run gun pit.
The gunners must get tired and I would not want to spend too much time so close to all that ammo.
I don’t know what the barrel life is of one of those but they seem to be robust enough.
Why we have yet to get 155 production up to scale after more than two years is just not good enough.
You might think it’s goofy but the man on the moon is a Newfie
It's too bad JD vance, MTG, and mr. gaetz should see this video...
Where airsupport? where fighting jets?
Don't say Gun barrels are badly wasted, needs new Guns????????
The problem with Ukraine, by the frontline soldiers own admission, has never been a lack of artillery ammunition contrary to what pundits and the ISW have constantly allege. Their real problem is lack of adequately trained soldiers. It is apparent as evidenced by stories of Ukrainian units either surrendering or bailing out of their positions in retreat. Russia has virtually an inexhaustible supply of trained combat personnel and easily outstrips Ukraine’s ability to recruit/conscript soldiers. In the final analysis it doesn’t matter how many shells Ukraine gets if there is no one to shoot them.
🙏 Wars 🙏 should 🙏 be 🙏 forbidden 🙏 !!!!
Invading a sovereign nation is already forbidden, but invaders never care. Russia doesn't, and neither did the US in Iraq's case
Nope😊
bumo vidli,ne.jer se laze.A mi smo zapad,jer gledate americki televiziju..
The advantage for Ukraine is not the number but in the quality and accuracy of their American Artillery Ammo. 10 to 1 doesn't mean shit if they 😊 can't hit anything and are not in range.
Help is on the way! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦!!!

Best artillery is french Caesar
Swedish archer is better.
Apples to oranges. An extremely light 155 towed artillery piece is a very different device compared to a far more complex, and heavy self propelled and self loading artillery piece. Those self propelled guns being far more complex to replace parts/repair as well as heavy also make it difficult to hide. Very expensive to lose besides being very easy to damage. It has its critical role but light, easy to field and maintain artillery has its special role. Finally, cost - the American M777 is very low cost compared to self propelled so there are far more of them.
@@MathyBoonen nah, not really combat proven
@@benoitpisarchick6866 Archers are in use in Ukraine.
Drones are doing more damage to Russian military equipment and soldiers I feel and cost less and fly further
America finally designed an 88
It's made by the UK stolen by american thieves and passed off as their own
😂😂far from ita barrel dosent hold like mst
1.) Dont fight wars of attrition with Russia
2.) Dont imagine that Russification is not real. It is. And it is arguably worse than Americanization
3.) Eventually the war will stop but not permanently. Wars only have temporary if deliberately prolonged ceasefires.
4.) This aid package wont help much but it will get Ukraine some needed support.
1) Russia didn't give Ukraine a choice. Unless you consider death a choice.
2) Russification is definitely real, and definitely worse than Americanisation.
3) The war will stop, permanently, when Russia either surrenders and pleads for peace or collapses internally. Until then there will be no cease fire.
4) $60bn is a drop in the bucket for USA, but an ocean for Russia.
There, corrected that for you.
@@bobjohnbowles1) Russia gave Ukraine plenty of choices to end the war. Letting Russia take a few pro Russian regions has nothing to do with death, but will save hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian lives
2) What's so bad about Russification?
3) Ukraine can give up a few regions and promise to never join NATO - war will over immediately
4) Russia outproduces entire NATO, doesn't matter how much money NATO has if they don't have equipment to make Ukraine outgun Russia. Especially since Ukraine only received 13b out of 60b
A breakthrough isn't needed. Ukraine now only has to wait out the Russian economy, and that will collapse this year on this pace!
I wouldn't bet on it. Russia's economy will be bloated due to military spending. It will likely collapse *after* the war ends. Till then, Putin & the oligarchs can do what they want to prop things up and the people under the Russian dictatorship will think that everyone is in on it.
The EU should get off it's ass and be doing the funding for Ukraine, not America.
Learn to do something for yourselves for once instead of begging us to do your work. Fund it yourself.

Artillery shell shortage tells how serious Europe really is towards the war. Putin is laughing. Europe needs Trump to tell them to step up to the plate and show some power. Enough fancy meetings and photo ops.
Trump would stop aid to Europe as soon as he could.
Disgusting
What irritates me is, the focus is on "other countries to do xyz", I don't know what world this is but in most societies if you want something done right and dependable, you HAVE to do it yourself.
Aid is temporary and will run out again, where is this Ukrainian ingenuity? two+ years into full scale; and production is not into overdrive? need more? build more factories and keep building. Production is KEY, expecting handouts will lead to defeat.
I don't "expect" AFU to hold back or even defeat ruzzia, hell I expect Baltics and Poland to be invaded and western forces to enter this conflict. Zero expectations on AFU, if they can defeat or what ever the end objective is?, great that's a bonus. But my expectations are none.
Sidenote: I don't have access to intelligence but I truly feel as Ukraine leaders have been holding back supplies and depending on western political support is how much they allow to the frontline. I feel the frontline are doing the best they can with what they are given. Leaders are really good at diverting accountability onto others
Don't you think the Ukrainians are doing everything they can? Against a superior force like Russia it will never be enough, you have to get assistance from others just like the allies needed assistance during WW2. Nobody can weather the storm alone, together we're strong.
In in the US, desperate to increase shell production it's now been two years and production here is barely twice the original (and very low rate) production of 155 shells. A new facility is being built and isn't on line at all. It takes a huge infrastructure to produce shells and far more to create a new production line.
Well there is one true “fact” in your misinformed diatribe, that you don’t have intelligence 😂🤡 💪🇺🇦
Heroyam slava!
Of course, it has to be the "best" artillery system if it comes from the USA. They won't do it under that.
Certainly not when it comes to shoot and scoot, or range, but still.
That's all right with me, as long as they at least deliver again.
With the Americans, you never know how long the support will last.
Supplied by and made in USA. Designed in UK ........just sayin. 🇺🇦🇬🇧
@@brianholding4357 Right, I heard about that.
Hey man it’s their opinion ok? They operate the M777 so maybe they think it’s the best but other units who used M109,Pzh2000 etc will think differently
@@ch-53esuperstallion76 They just know what they have to say to make the Yanks feel good. The danger that these traitors will jump ship again at the next opportunity is simply too great.
@@chessnut4886 well maybe you should consider their view point, the M777 is a good artillery, it’s accurate and having able to stop a russian assault would probably made them think it’s the best artillery that their unit has
M777 is FAAAR from being best. It's towed, to begin with.
How does that make it less accurate or reliable?
Horses for courses. For starters, during the mud season (i.e. right now) towed artillery is much lighter in weight and easy to transport. M777 was designed to be airlifted, you can't do that with self-propelled arty. Not having an engine it won't break down, and doesn't need fuel.
TLDR: the 'best' depends on your criteria.
After begging for money, they got the money 😂😂

The guy who said that Ukraine is not going to get a breakthrough even if they get a lot of Aid and Military help because it comes down to needing a technological advantage over Russia uninformed or biased towards Russia because that is not a strength of Russia in this world at all they are behind technologically Ukraine is on par with them technologically even if America never stepped in mostly because they have both been using mostly large stockpiles of old Soviet equipment also if anything I say that Russia is slightly behind Ukraine technologically speaking in the fpv kamikaze drone category also Ukraine has been getting a very advanced technology and if America really wanted to which it hasn't gone close the ability that it has to pump Ukraine with highly advanced modern weapons but what it has helped with is still way more advanced than pretty modern compared to anything Russia has the thing that Russia has which is not the technological advantage is it has a government and guy in charge that isn't afraid of getting voted out of office he's not afraid of doing something wrong and then the news in Russia writing about it and people hearing about it from the news and getting mad and interning voting him out because they're not allowed to write about it so he's able to mobilize people forcefully only a country like Russia where there is no fair elections at all the government and power has complete Monopoly dance the corruption with the people in power they will ruthlessly kill off their citizens in Russia in an attempt to not lose the war so it's as bad as a huge part of it it's not half of it and the other part is the large stockpiles of Soviet equipment
