    Here is a thing about "NATO training". I served in the Hungarian army in 1998, when we just became a NATO member. Reformation of the armed forces was at full swing, but far from complete, so we were a bit of a mishmash of old Warsaw Pact and new NATO things. I met some officers who went to Soviet military academies a few years prior, and now they completed NATO academies too, so they had insight into both of them. They all said NATO weren't preparing for war, they were preparing for exercises. Their officers were mostly just pencil pushers.
    One of these Hungarian officers spent a year with a Bundeswehr unit, a signals regiment. He once participated in a major practice maneuver with them. They set up the mobile radio station, but found that a certain connector was broken, and they couldn't start it up. They just shrugged, sat down, and began slacking. The Hungarian officer was shocked, and asked why wouldn't they do something?
    "Nah, they will notice we aren't on air, and send someone", the commander said.
    "But we are 150 kilometers from any other unit!"
    "Whatever, the connector is broken, what could we do?"
    The Hungarian officer took out his pocket knife, cut the broken connector off, took it apart, and fixed it. In ten minutes, the unit was online. The German commander was astonished, and praised his Hungarian colleague for his "exceptional problem-solving creativity". None of the German officers had any idea how that connector worked, and they were strictly forbidden to tinker with any equipment they weren't certified to repair. In fact, if a German officer tried it, he likely would've been reprimanded. Granted, this was 25+ years ago, but seeing what's going on in Ukraine, and hearing similar stories from my friends in the military, I don't think a lot has changed since.

    We in the GDR were somewhat familiar with the Russian mentality of absolute, robust, concentrating exclusively on what makes sense, which would always cause any Western army to lose in a real, conventional war (i.e. without NBC weapons).
    Just to illustrate what I'm talking about:
    We had to count and sign every cartridge that we received and had to return after the watch/exercise. And if even one cartridge were missing, then that was tantamount to a state crime.
    And when there were practical exercises with live ammunition or even hand grenades, there were some fearful German soldiers who actually fell short of the grenade out of fear or even let it fall out of their hand.
    When we met with Russian soldiers in a field exercise, the Russian didn't understand why we didn't have live ammunition or hand grenades. He wanted to give me a full magazine and 2 hand grenades that he had plenty lying around in the vehicle.
    In my understanding, the Russian soldier lived as if he were in a real state of war and had zero fears about uncontrolled handling of live ammunition.
    And when I later experienced the Federal Republic of Germany's army/economy, I realized that this affluent army, where there were only specialists who couldn't do anything creative beyond their task, because they didn't know improvised thinking and acting in their lives , lose a direct war within a few days.
    Now we are 2 generations later where even women are serving. One look at the people in the traffic light government is enough to know that we have all now reached the final stage of the thousand-year Roman Empire, where the stupidest and most morally miserable parts of society hold all leadership positions at all levels.
    No thinking person would even remotely want to risk their life for this broken society, which is why in an emergency the Russians would only be faced with unsportsmanlike, stupid, joke soldiers motivated only by money.
    Now in Ukraine, the Russians are faced with fighters who are equal in their mentality of robustness and perhaps also in their morals, because they are also "Russians", similar to West and East Germany back then.

    I spent my national service in Algeria between 1980 and 1982, my trainers were Soviet, mainly Russian (there were Ukrainian interpreters). I will give you my opinion: You have to know the Russian soul to judge. The Russians do not consider themselves at war against Ukraine but against NATO. They believe that the survival of their country is at stake, and therefore, contrary to what is said, they have high combat morale and are ready for any sacrifice. Even if the Ukrainians make progress, the Russians will never give up, they are determined to bring the Western machine to its knees. NATO is losing this war and they are going to lose it, which is the wish of everyone outside the West. The Russian economy is flourishing and very healthy, especially as it is highly industrialized. However, in the West, this lie is spread that Russia only exports and depends only on hydrocarbons. However, these represent 15% of its exports just like Canada, which has never been said to depend on hydrocarbons!
    Regarding equipment and ammunition: Russia produces it in quantity, innovates and learns from its mistakes, its companies are state-owned and sell at cost price without profit while on the NATO side it is private companies which, and it is normal, seek to make a profit.
    During my national service, we had Soviet, therefore Russian, but also Western transmission equipment. The latter often broke down, the components were expensive and maintenance was onerous, on the other hand the Russian equipment was heavy, rustic, efficient, rarely broke down, and troubleshooting was absolutely simple!

So should we expect EU citizens to be willing to sacrifice their resources and, probably, lives, for something they are not ready for?

      @@rdg665 Of course, I understand that this often happens, since we are not fighting against the NPC, but against people who are also not deprived of wit and intelligence, so that the enemy is able to set minefields in an unexpected place where everything seems to be explored, but I am sure that 90% of the videos you saw were actually Ukrainian. This is a common narrative tactic and propaganda, use everything you have, a Ukrainian Column of infantry fighting vehicles was blown up in a minefield, write that these are Russians. Who from the West or from the inhabitants will distinguish. Moreover, in 99% of cases, quadrocopters do not have such a strong resolution that they would clearly demonstrate the insignia and coloring. And again, what percentage of the population of people in the West knows which brigades have which identification marks. I have too often come across the fact that losses attributed to Russia, in order to support the narrative of monstrous losses, turned out to be Ukrainian losses... It's like the old method, shoot the same damaged equipment (for example, a tank) from different angles and different heights, and pass off all these shots as shooting various damaged tanks. Moreover, a year later, in the same season, you can re-publish the video, just cut it off, blurring it and that's it. And it works very well. There are recent videos where 4 veterans of Nazi units conducted a discussion and at the end answered questions, obviously civilian ones. Guess what they believe, that the Ukrainian army, if it does not support, then kills orcs by the millions, because Orcs are suckers. And where do they get it from? Who creates this impression? This is a war for imagination, for perception, this is a war of propaganda, and Russia has miserably lost it. The only thing that helps us Russians is that reality itself and the laws of physics are for us))) This defeats the wild narrative...

      since the start of this conflict i get amazed on daily basis by insanity from the side which "supports" ukraine. sometimes that insanity is of higher degree, sometimes lower. idea that russians will flee when they see nato equipment is pretty damn high.
      i really cant understand what kind of brain is required to believe in something like that.
      even when fooball fans attack each other no one thinks "we will appear and they will run away", even such trivial actions have more developed tactics than how they are conducting this war.

    Hi Alexander! I am by all means not an expert on war, but I know that Clausewitz said that the outcome of a war is decided 20 years before it breaks out. And I can understand what he means. There's a huge difference between the development in Russia and in Ukraine, starting from 1991and onward. I was thinking already in the initial stage that this war will be about political and military leadership more than anything and I think many others understood that, too. I'm not here to insult anyone, but the Ukrainian political and military elites come, with few exceptions, across as amateurish at best and frankly worthless at worst. The political leaders are mere trespassers in the domains of geopolitics. The reality is that they never stood a chance. No matter how many tanks and missile systems they were given, they were doomed from the start. I don't think one needs to be an expert to see that. It was the russophobia that prevented some people from thinking clearly. Like all political viruses, it clouds one's judgement. However, with that said, the endgame will probably go on for a long time. I heard retired colonel Macgregor from the US Army say that the American casualties in Europe 1945 were at its highest the last month of the war, despite that there was nothing left to fight for. Even if the Ukrainian Army hardly is a coherent fighting force at this stage, each part of the front must be cleared. I doubt seriously that "the politically motivated" will lay down their weapons freely. It can actually go on for years. The Ukrainian Nazis weren't defeated by the Red Army until 1952, 7 years after the end of Nazi Germany. That's how resilient the scum is. All the best and thank you for a great program. 🇸🇪❤️🇷🇺

      You're right!
      It seems to me that Ukraine either does not want to correct its mistakes, or does not understand them
      As a Russian, I realized a long time ago that it would be better for them to go on the defensive and not on the attack
      Every day they rushed through the Surovikin line (the biggest line of defense) and they were met by artillery, minefields, Military Space Forces (combined with the air force) and they just stayed there, and they were put down by dozens or even hundreds a day, I'm not kidding, I look and read on both sides of the front
      I was especially amused when Ukraine announced that it was all a "psychological operation"
      And I also remember Russia in 2022 when the front collapsed in September, and literally many responsible for the front and logistics were removed, and the problems were fixed, the problem was solved with drones as well, now they are being produced here, for example, geranium
      The sanctions also did not work, instead of the collapse of the economy, it is growing, and over the past year more than 300 new production facilities have been opened throughout the country
      I apologize for the amount of text, but I just wanted to tell everyone about it)
      Happiness and good luck to you, my friend!

      @@DeathVisa Thank you! I saw by the way on Russia News today how Ukrainian TV was out showing their great defense lines up north towards the border with Belarus and how they methodically are copying the Russian defense lines down south in their not so successful ♿➡️🕳️ counterattack. Here they are again, showing off their "counterdefensive" as enthusiastically. I just wait for the trailer to be released by Zelinsky's production team. It remains to be seen what trick the Russian Armed Forces will play on them this time. Who says that they have to attack them exactly at this point? But if they do, it comes with the courtesy of the Ukrainian television who already shown them everything. It doesn't matter, of course! FSB has already infiltrated them to the point where they are better informed about the Ukrainians' strategies and tactics than themselves are. I don't want to be too ironic, though! It's a lot of fighting left and people's lives hang in the balance. The Ukrainians fight hard and you know what Ludendorff said in the first world war about the British were🦁 lions led by 🫏 donkeys. Perhaps that can be applied to the Ukrainians?
      I guess NATO was impressed by how Russia tricked them by building trenches manned by a few troops who made a lot of noise on the radio, while the main force were out of sight in the tree line. Should we expect that Ukraine will copy your army that way, too? 😳 All the best to you and your great country. 🇸🇪❤️🇷🇺

      @david-468 Yes, of course! It's an absolute necessity for the international community that Russia wins this war. Anything less would be a catastrophhe. The western world needs to change and the changes today take place outside the US and EU. Leaders like Biden and Ursula von der Leyen are grotesque. The war seen from their point of view is historic already before it has ended. It's rooted in the cold war, the last spasm of a lost generation. We landed on the wrong side of history long before the war in Ukraine, that's a fact! The future here is represented by Russia. A victory for NATO would mean that we would get stuck in this harmful political pattern that leads to the same catastrophic result time after time. It's deplorable that my government fights so hard to become a member state of NATO, a bureaucratic giant on clay feet. The necessary changes in West will be enforced by Russia's victory. Coming generations can't be reached by an outdated rethoric. They won't be interested in warfare, or fixated on security issues. Russophobia is a very primitive thing and the nations whose leaders are clouded by fearful scenarios made up in their minds are clearly losers. EU are bogged down by the Baltic states whose political elite wrestles with an inferior complex visavi Germany and France. They are always aware of the fact that they are viewed as second class Europeans by the pompous powers of western Europe. The only way they can be meaningful is in a scenario where Russia is an enemy. What they don't understand is that they are the canon fodder in their own plan. It's not the Germans, the French or the British who will fight. That part is given to the Estonians, the Latvians, the Lithuanians and...yes, the Ukrainians! Their lives mean nothing in Berlin, Paris and London. It's amazing that they don't see that. Russia and China are today the nations who represent sincerity and hope for people everywhere. People see Putin and Xi Jinping as real statesmen with visions for the future. That's by the way also a fact for many people in West. Putin is a legend in his own time.

Только полное уничтожение вооруженных сил украины и лояльное правительством могут гарантировать России безопасность и война будет до тех пор, пока эти условия не будут выполнены. После этого в воздухе повиснет вопрос о поставках оружия, с помощью которого украинцы убивали русских и это будет очень неудобный вопрос для европейцев и за это придется заплатить совсем не деньгами.

Its very worrying and painful to see. Ive never felt like this about any geopolitical situation but im finding that same feeling i feel with my grandson about the situation in Ukraine. Its painful to witness such a thing and to know that the Ukrainian people have been propagandised to such an extent that they genuinely believe they are fighting, dying, and witnessing the destruction of their own country for the reasons they have been told. They have been brainwashed and i suspect that if anyone was to stop them, like my grandson, they would turn thier anger on them. The problem is that the more the Russians win on the battlefield the crazier the warmongers will become.

    Alex I really love your shows and I have a similar opinion as an engineer and a history enthusiast like you.
    Since I come from the Balkans, I know firsthand the situation that happened during the Yugoslav civil war. People and their members from important families with influence and people from the upper classes mostly fled abroad or retreated to safety in the hinterland where they did not participate in direct battles at the front.
    Volunteers fought and died, brave and hearty Men. Farmers and workers and fighters from the diaspora who are descendants of emigrants.
    After the war, the hiders and war profiteers came back as investors and bought up or owned failed companies for a pittance and filled the veterans in their companies, working for them for a poor salary. Veterans are remembered only before elections and during various celebrations. Most heroes are forgotten. Sad but realistic.

They were not on any timeline. Now that the Ukrainian military is seriously low on equipment and personnel, they are vulnerable to a major Russian offensive in the months ahead.

NATO exercises focus on combined unit activities. This is a best practice application yet not something always available.

Over 200,000 Russians were killed & wounded in 2023, far more than ukraine because of the insane unsupported infantry & meat-wave tactics they used, Russia doesn’t give a damn how many men they lose, never have and never will and that’s why they are so hard to beat, not because they are good at war because they are not they just have an extremely high pain threshold.

      2. Russia has overwhelming superiority in artillery fire, at certain points going up to 10 shells fired for every 1 ukrainian shell fired.
      So with these two absolutely undisputed points, how did you get to the conclusion that russians are taking 5 times higher casualties?
      On top of that a western-sponsored, BBC-affiliated russian NGO tried to count the russian KIA via open sources, and managed to get up to a total of about 50 000 a couple of months ago. Reportedly the ukrainians lost about twice as much in Bakhmut alone.
      Maybe you like that propaganda site called oryx? Which was lying so blatantly that they had to stop counting the losses when the leopards became the primary ukrainian tanks this summer and could no longer present ukrainian losses as russian?

    I remember having a heated online debate about the Russian defense lines that were built just before the summer offensive kicked off and how effective they would be. This guy kept saying oh the trenches aren't manned, and it was all Russian corruption to let the oligarchs get money and build some empty construction blah blah... He'd really swallowed the whole Sky News playbook. To me, the situation all just reminded me of the prelude to the battle of Kursk in WW2. Well prepared Soviet defenses, German wonder tanks would win the day etc... Sadly, I was proved correct.

      Western society just refuse to accept the fact that their MSM is a blatant propaganda tool, probably even more sophisticated and aggressive than the Russia's one, or any other "axis of evil" countries for that matter. I mean c'mon that "axis of evil" slogan alone is such an obvious example of propaganda bit lol. All I could hear in the past 20 years is how amazing NATO equipment and training was and how outdated and ineffective Russian/Soviet doctrine was. Russia was always corrupt, incompetent, weak, poor morale etc. It was that assumption of total NATO superiority over the Russian army and poor Russian troops morale - russians will just run when they see Bradleys and Leopards (I suspect Prigozhin - Shoigu conflict was a psy-op) that led to current situation: NATO equipment have been wasted, UA army is decimated, Russia is pushing further stronger than ever

      The Germans came within 10-20km of linking the northern and southern army groups at Kursk.
      They destroyed 2:1 in armor while traversing these same deep minefields and AT gun kill boxes without plows, flails or MICLICs.
      And they did all this AFTER the 9th Army lost 90% of three infantry divisions on the first day of the offensive, to preemptive artillery attack because, thanks to Ultra and captured German patrols, they _knew_ the exact date:time of the attack.
      The battle was effectively short-stopped when, 7 days in, there began to be rumors of an invasion of the Balkans (actually Sicily) and by the 10th day, the two Waffen SS divisions which had carried the fight were being pulled out and sent to rail heads, where they would take a couple MONTHS before arriving in Italy. They could win in Russia or they could arrive in Sicily, too late to stop the Allies from shifting to the Mainland. Why Hitler fought so hard for the Italians but not to subdue his _strongest enemy_ is beyond guessing.
      The Germans lost Kursk because they fought at Kursk when Von Manstein told Hitler to drop everything, grab every cook, marching band and mechanic he could find and start feeding him troops right after Third Kharkov.
      As he wanted to march on Moscow which, surprise, is NORTH from Ukraine, while Kursk is NE, deeper towards the Urals. The Soviet capital had _no defenses_ at that time. Everything having been stripped to feed the meatgrinder that was Stalingrad.
      Considering that all of this happened while the Germans were busy resetting lines to basically spring 1942, after the debacle of losing Stalin's city, Hitler decided to wait for the Panthers and Tigers and 'three months later' paid for it, with defective tanks and the largest field fortifications the world has ever seen. Yet was within inches of winning and then just...gave up.
      The point here is that you cannot have disaggregated brigades which are just thrown into the fight to break a Soviet style, multizone, deep defense of 3-5 belts.
      Each belt is going to need a pair of battalions (thousand men, each). You need to start by using cruise missiles and mobile artillery to smash as many forward vehicle parks, ammo dumps, counterbattery radars, HQs and artillery positions as possible. With American satellite intelligence, this should be easy. Oh, and connecting roads/bridges/rail so that nothing can enter from adjoining AORs.
      This needs to happen within a 24-36hr time frame, to maintain operational initiative.
      Then, at the chosen H-Hour, the artillery will switch to smoke and frag on the section of line (belt) opposite your chose attack axis and the section of the next belt behind it.
      Your first battalion will then roll forwards with NOT LESS THAN five plow tanks acting as lead defenders for at least three MICLICs as separate vehicle columns. Each.
      Once within a kilometer, the plow tanks will turn 90` and draw a firing line for the rest of the company (12-14 tanks) as the MICLICs roll up to launch their mine clearance rockets on the axes of attack to seize the objective that's a minimum of 9X3 = 27 M58 MICLIC units. The IFVs will then pass down these cleared lanes, following the line of those cleared lanes and drop troops, within 100-200m so that they can complete the assault on foot with both the tanks and the IFVs suppressing everything that fires back.
      Despite the tanks suppressing, you will likely burn your lead battalion doing this, thirty percent casualties, at least. And then the next battalion behind them will telescope through and IMMEDIATELY commence the run on the next belt as the artillery shifts to smoke and frag the obscure their approach again. You never stand still on an objective, because the enemy will have their own lines preregistered for artillery and it will be devastating.
      Rinse and Repeat while FAAD sets up to ensure the pass through. That means mobile IRIS-T and Stormer and maybe some NASAMS.
      If you have a three belt system, you will need six battalions and at the final breakout point for Melitopol or the coastal road or whatever you are planning to seize/cut/occupy, you need to have a further 'two up, one back' exploitation force, akin to a Soviet OMG, to go hell for leather on the final objective.
      That's Six + Three Battalion attack which is a DIVISION force construct.
      If you don't have that force and all the supporting specialist missions like engineers, AD, casevac, recon/ACav, logistics and so on, you're not going to break through.
      A WWII Armored division is 10,000 men. A modern (American) Mechanized division is 17-21,000 men. Did the Ukrainians have either, as a unified force? I doubt it. The lack of this meant anything they did was doomed from the start.
      You only need to look at VII and XVIII Corps in Desert Saber to see 'NATO' (U.S.) understands what density of force massing means. And yet they didn't send 60-70 vehicles X9 Battalions as 500-600 total vehicles. _Which we could do_, from the SIAD Army storage depot alone (2,500 Abrams in storage). They sent 31 Leopards and 60 Bradleys and maybe another 70 or so CV-90 and Marder. The most numerous track they had on the battle field was the M113. A relic of the Vietnam era.
      Who. Are. They. Kidding. ????

      "In less than a week, Israel dropped the number of bombs that the US drops in Afghanistan in a year, in a much smaller and denser area - where the margin of error increases," claimed Marc Geralsko, a Dutch military adviser and former UN war crimes investigator in Libya. During the most intense year of the American fighting in Afghanistan, a little more than 7,423 bombs were dropped. During the entire war in Libya, NATO reported dropping more than 7,600 bombs and missiles from aircraft. In the fight against ISIS, from 2014 to 2019, the US-led coalition dropped 2,000 to 5,000 bombs all over Iraq and Syria."
