How The Russian Military Fell Short In Ukraine | DECODED
If your soldiers don’t believe in what they are fighting for then the fight is already lost.
At first I read this as “If your soldiers don’t fight in what they are fighting for, the fight is already lost.”
@@KingMinosxxvi Says a guy at a keyboard... lol
Lol it's far from over and truth to be told russia is barely trying in this war let's just hope ukraine gets more help before it's too late
@@lettucesalad3560 what does that make you?
@@KingMinosxxvi That is why Russia is losing. Why they are deserting while Ukrainian men are lining up to volunteer.
As an American, it’s extremely odd seeing Russia, the one unique country we civilians were told are supposed to be on the same level/have been competing with for the past 80+ years tirelessly expanding and developing our own military to counter for, is struggling so terribly just on basic military tasks regardless of invasion status.
They have had poor inventory for quite some time. Its been well known. Rep was causing fear but the in the know knew they were in trouble looooong time ago. America would hurt them badly. Hopefully he dont poo nukes if he thinks he will lose but hey war is hell
It was one huge lie!
The Cold War was long time ago. They were legitimately scary back then, and since no one ever challenged them since then people just assumed they still were.
Im pretty sure that russia is the best paper tiger the world have seen yet!
I have a simple solution for you. Just dont believe everything you see on a western media about Russia. Cuz those lying A holes have there own goals
So basically what the analysts said was: if Russia has a foe that can't or won't shoot back in an organised manner, they'll win. The faulty assumption wasn't really about Russia, in other words - it was the implicit assumption that the Ukrainians would also not shoot back in an organised manner. Or turn this into their own Great Patriotic War (which it is).
In the end, Napoleon still got it right - the balance of moral to physical is 3 to 1. When one side has more interesting toys, but the other side has their family and home at their back, you always, always bet on the latter.
Frankly the Russian army is being humiliated in Ukraine. So many losses of armoured vehicles, tanks, and even multiple ships. 6 dead generals in 6 weeks of fighting and yesterday they lost their flagship. Russia is being stomped on
The criminal in the Kremlin will not win.
and the generals that survive will probably get executed by putin....and still russians are willing to go fight and die for him
it sucks 🙊🙈⚰😡

@@gohibniugoh1668 Coded message received and understood...
Yeah it’s hilarious how many russian shills are defending Putin when he and his cronies are the ones who are responsible for the degradation of the russian military through corruption. These people need to use their brains.
Glad corruption is the answer…..that never happens in western governments.
Basically, "Z" meant "Zapad = West" (i.e. Western Military District of the Russian Federation), while "V" stood for "Vostok = East" (Eastern Military District). Now, there are many more markings as they scratch the bottom of the barrell for new troops to be sent to the frontlines.
tnx for info now i know the meaning :)
They should go with F for failed
They should also go with L for loser
No. Its false info. " Z" Za pobyedu meaning for Victory and "V" Sila v pravdye meaning Power in Truth. Russia and Truth 🤪🤪🤪
You think one of the largest ground forces on the entire planet is out of troops after a month of conflict with Ukraine?
Not falling short, the majority of the troops know this is NOT a good war and have just refused or are refusing to fight.
It is ridiculous to consider russian "military" success in Siria and Crimea! All these "operations" were in fact against unarmed civilians.
you must be a invalid to think syria is targeting civilians, russia was invited by the Syrian government, the opposition to the government are groups like isis, so yeah nice smooth brain argument there.
Wow what a low iq comment. Yeah isis and azov are unarmed civilians 🤣
Don't forget about the buildings. They were particularly good at taking them down, especially with civilians inside.
There was no fighting in Crimea. In Syria they mostly provided air support against FSA and ISIS
In Syria it was serious combat against ISIS but also many terrorists that were called "moderate" by NATO.
The Russians, being known for their honesty, said the Moskova had a fire and then sank in a storm while being towed back to port. The weather conditions in the area at the time were partly cloudy skies with light winds. Sounds treacherous
I've heard they were blaming Kiev for the treacherous weather though.
@@audience7264 nah man. Russia blamed ukraine for inventing fire
Putin just confirmed that all fires on the Moskova have been extinguished!
@@fluffymyato3334 unga bunga intensifies
Putin swears that his own men sank the ship, not the Ukrainians.
Good report.
One thing, though: Soldiers always have used, and probably always will use branches, leaves, etc. in order to camouflage themselves and their equipment. So this particular aspect just doesn't add any weight to the evidence against Russian military readiness or its capabilities. But everything else was spot on. Again, good video!
Yeah but most Soldiers would try and use more branches and leaves to cover something so it wouldn't be seen by people patrolling the ground. It looked like they were only trying to hide it from drones and satellites.

this is incredibly embarrassing for russia, even if they eventually win (which i hope they don't) this has absolutely destroyed the reputation of their military and also tarnished the international views of russia for a long time
you do realize Russia could have just bomb the capital none stop with artillery until ukrain was forced to surrender
@@darklotus1223 he doesn't
Why not? Everything would stop if russia would win.
The weaker the Russian military looks the more likely Putin will resort to nuclear weapons. Putin would not retreat to Russia without taking at least some additional territory even if it means he has to use nuclear weapons to do it and even if it means making Russia as isolated as North Korea is today.
You have the intellect of a child. Who cares what they could have or should have done. They already did what they did and they can't go back now. They dug their own graves in ukraine, now they need to lie in them.
Russia's military is actually good in parades.
🤣
Repeat it after the parade in Kiev
😃
I bet russia’s enemies are getting confident after seeing their mediocre performance. Russia also has a border conflict with japan and I’m willing to bet japan can wipe the floor with these inept ruskie military.
To be fair, they were better trained for parades.
A lot of the failure has to do with the "Jack-in-the-Box" defect of Russian armored vehicles, where once the turret is penetrated, the entire complement of main gun tank shells is chain-detonated which causes the flipping of the turret along with flash-cooking of the entire tank crew. Later technology NATO armored vehicles don't have this "Jack-in-the-Box" defect and are not subject to instant death. Essentially, all Russian armored vehicles need to be replaced with a new, more advanced design and this may take years or decades for Russia and probably China, North Korea and any other nation using Russian designs that man-portable anti-armor weapons have rendered useless.
Flash cooked tank crew.....with garlic perhaps?
They haven't necessarily being rendered "useless"- yes, tanks no longer dominate the batlefield, but that's not because of one bad design alone. If you magically switch all Russian tanks with NATO equivalents, they'll fare better for sure, but it won't suddenly change the fact that a lack of infantry screening, air superiority and proper encryption lets Ukrainians effortlessly discover the locations of Russian tanks and set up ambushes.
id say its because they dont use their own tanks correctly, not that the tank itself is the major flaw
@@penapvp2230 Its kind of hard to deny that something is wrong when the tank you're sitting in chain detonates its ammunition and flash cooks you like a microwave oven. But never fear, the Russian army will simply bring in thousands of even-more-obsolete tanks (T-62s) that can be knocked out much easier. The only ones who will suffer this incompetence are Russian youths designated as cannon fodder and don't understand their role as so many bodies to be thrown into the meat grinder that is the rightfully morally outraged Ukrainian military that is defending their innocent wives, children and elder family members.
China has 5 times more soldiers than America, and no Toxic Feminist troops.... America better clean up it's ranks by purging "victim" females immediately and get real men ready for a super big war!
Also consider it's been reported that many of the "professionals" were conscripts that were pressured or deceved into signing a contract that would last the duration of their original conscription. Part of the pressure is economics, conscripts get paid something like 1/10 as much as the "professionals" do. This was mostly about trying to pretend the conscripts weren't being sent to fight outside of Russia. And even with the bonuses and increased pay, the tricks - deception - and intimidation. Even with all of that Russia still didn't have enough "professionals" and ended up sending conscripts anyway.
In Syria, the Russian colonial Nazis had no resitance or opposition, they were just dropping bombs, and white phosphorus bombs on supermarkets, on residential buildings, on hospitals, on schools, on bakeries, and launching long-range missiles on civilian targets. They were testing all their new weapons on Syrian civilians
they did attack a US unit and got annihilated.

How embarrasing can it get
The difference between 2014 and now is, in 2014 the majority of the populations of Crimea and Donbas were pro Russian and actually for the most part, welcomed the Russians. Ukraine also wasn't prepared for the fight.
Their military had been gutted, they were at the tail end of Euro-Maidan with only an interim caretaker government.
Yanukovych had fled literally days before both were taken by pro-Russian separatist thugs in Donbas and the Russian military in Crimea. Which, btw, Russia already had a military base in Crimea. Syria, is a sporadic Islamic insurgency, highly disorganised and ill equipped.
Ukraine on the other hand, has combat experience for the past 8 years in Donbas, plus had been re-equipping their military along with training by NATO advisors, etc.
The Russians found a different Ukraine than the one they had easily walked over in 2014...
No way! That’s what the CIA said to! Lololol
Yes, I agree. To preserve BOTH Russian and Ukrainian life, I would suggest:
Ukraine could weaponize Russia's most successful product: VODKA. Russian troops feel abandoned, traumatized, lied to, home sick in a hostile land where neither side has a quarrel. There is One thing they would die for: Russian vodka. Ukraine should use their superior logistical abilities to distribute a train load of Russian vodka to all occupiers as a measure of 'hospitality'.
A smiling Babushka pulling a wagon full of Russia's Finest, could disable a battalion of poorly led, poorly equipped poorly fed troops in a single Friday night. Could herd them into a drunk tank and take their equipment intact.
In war: A SNOCKERED FOE...is a friend!
So...Let's do a little arithmetic. The 'think tank experts' are approving spending 20-40 Billion of our dollars on war machines and munitions to bludgeon a bunch of demoralized slobs who don't want to be there.
150 thousand troops X $8 a bottle of Russia's finest: $1.2 million. Hire a battalion of Babushkas to deliver vodka to the occupiers @ $100 X 400: $40,000. Wagons and rail transport: $10,000. Total cost: $1.25 million.

8:17 "these are ZILs", while showing a column of KamAZ trucks. Quality journalism for you.
One thing which is a bit misleading is the size of the army. In theory it has this size. But it is a "special military operation" and no "war" from Russians point of view (obviously everyone else sees it as a war), which limits what they can do. For example the Russians can't deploy conscripts, according to this (in practice they probably do).
In addition to that Russia is huge and they can't just bring everyone and leave every other position.
And then there are the logistics. Troops and material have to be transported and not everyone can do everything.
When it comes to the money a lot of it is burned and corruption is rampant. For example their "Russian" drones use zero Russian parts, consumer tech and can be built for a few thousand dollars. And their nuclear program is another point. It's a huge money sink. Or the navy, which is also pretty high cost for what it actually offers.
Russia has the wrong military for the job and tries to bruteforce it.
@@at20rule Ukraine's budget isn't higher than Russia but the foreign aid they're receiving is just unbeatable with the economy and military Russia currently has like the OP said Russia isn't weak they're just specialized for a different war.
It's "military operation" because they can't afford a full scale war, that's the reason
20th century equipment in a 21st century war, using 19th century tactics and leadership.
Very well put
How about we don't sent weapons to Ukraine and wait for them to win if Russia is that bad ....i like the western narrative by the way........we celebrate one tanker and forget where Ukraine took all their own weapons to ask for more
Main problem of Russian military is logistics. Food is sometimes outdated, fuel is rare and they need a lot of ammunition. Modern systems are more rare than anticipated. Armata 14 is for example hard to be seen. Austrian military analyzer told, that Russia is much more dependend on trains, as any other army. This makes them vulnerable for partizan attacks. Ukraine soldiers know, how to perform that (They already did it agenst German Reichswehr in WWII). Without fuel even the most advanced tank is only a piece of metal.
When Russia was targeting cities in Ukraine, Ukraine was targeting their supply lines.
Armata 14 is still in prototype phase. And even if it wasn't in prototype phase, they can't build tanks anymore (any tanks), because they need to import parts from the west.
They did it in ww2 shut up, that’s like 80 years ago , they’ll had no idea how to do it until Britain and American told them

I was drafted in the early nineties and the vehicles they use are nearly exactly the same as the ones we had in our soldiers handbook. Only the fighters are slightly upgraded.
Kinzhal is an air launched Iskander, it is hypersonic because it is a ballistic missile. Every ballistic missile is hypersonic but these aren't air breathing or manoeuvrable.
Facts. Russia keeps harping on about their hypersonic capabilities. But Ukraine gave us any insight into the Russian military ability and prowess. And EVERYONE can quite comfortably and confidently say that Russia is a fraud.
The US, on the other hand, has developed a ramjet REAL hypersonic missile capable of maneuvering.
"Look at our amazing su 57!" ---You mean the 2 or 3 examples? LOL
The above sentence can basically be applied to any Russian military claim
Most of America’s arsenal is stuff designed and produced in the 80s, 90s, the same as Russia today, they’re equipment might be “old” but it would be just as old as the US military’s is as well.
@@atticuskhalif6680 the difference is that the US has upgraded their inventory and is replacing the eighties technology. Russian equipment is still on eighties technology and next to lagging the upgrade they have no replacements coming in. And NATO is bigger than the US the smaller states have high end nes assets because they don't have to be equipping a million troops.
@@atticuskhalif6680 What? LOL is that what your countries propaganda has been feeding you? Yes, the f 117 was a 70/80s design as was sr 71. F 22 was a 90s early 2000s design. So what does tell you? Our 70s/80s tech is more advanced then anything russian. If we look at the US tech from 90s/2000s, then its obvious it will be at least another 20-30 years before russia can match US's 70s/80s tech.
I mean for gods sake, we are releasing a 6th gen fighter jet in 2023. Russia barely released 3 examples of a 4.5 Gen Jet and even that has had tons of skepticism because they never show anything or allow anyone to view it.
All Russia managed to do with their hypersonic program is to push the US to develop an ACTUAL hypersonic. Not some ballistic missile that Russia claims is (all ballistic missiles are hyper on re entry)
Now the US developed a ramjet powered hypersonic without doubt.
Russia use old stuf first and throws its trash into ukraine soil and when things get serious they use new modern day stuff thats is how you fight. Fight with knowledge
heres one question: How do you make the difference between Russian vehicles/tanks and Ukrainian tanks/vehicles when they both use the same ones? How am i supposed to believe those are not destroyed Ukrainian equipment?
If their armor defense and offense can’t stand up for a month what make us think their nuclear weapons will even work?
The reactive armour looks totally useless against anti-tank missiles used?
certain anti-tank missiles will simply go through the top (javelin) and avoid most of the reactive armour which is funny
Only the blocks struck by incoming rounds explode. Also, many newer AT missiles have tandem warheads - the first detonates the reactive armor and the second defeats the tank's regular armor.
@@shukes4645 well actually the javelin fires a secondary projectile from the missle itself that causes the E.R.A to activate prematurely and then the javelin hits the tank they were designed to slip past E.R.A
@@darklotus1223 yeah i know lol, what if there's no era anyway (is what i meant)
Against older designs it is effective, but against top-attack missiles like the Javelin or Nlaw it does next to nothing. You need APS systems to defend against those, but very few of their tanks have them equipped. Even conventional missiles nowdays use double warheads and can simply overpower the ERA of some of the older tanks russia fields

@@hirdleyreid5796 talk to My Hand 🤚🏻
The worn out junkyard garbage the "Russians" sent to "war" was not an "embarrassment to Russia" or a "miscalculation", It was to build the theatrical filmset that this screenplay requires. With so many film crews working day and night on various scenes, it is critical that the sets look as "real as possible from any angle/pan" but no need to have gas in the "Tanks".
Russia fights until its losts reach to a certain teshhold, but Ukraine fights until a last soldier stands. That makes a lot of difference
Nicely-produced video. Just one suggestion for the writers and narrator: in this context and dialect, the plural of aircraft is “aircraft”
My thoughts on why Russia failed their goals:
1. Their initial offensive was too broad and they didn't allocate enough soldiers. Ukraine is almost as big as Texas and they only deployed 200,000 soldiers. When the USA invaded Iraq both times they deployed 3 times as many soldiers. For an attacker you need a numerical superiority and right now Ukraine outnumbers Russia. Russia was expecting Ukraine to just fall over in a few days, but that didn't happen.
2. Their logistics were just flat out trash. The vast majority of their armored vehicle losses were due to running out of fuel or mechanical breakdowns. Russia relies heavily on the rail network and all of a sudden has to rely on driving 100s of miles trucking in resources. Their supply lines were extremely vulnerable to ambushes.
3. Russia failed to obtain air superiority. Ukraine still flies around drones and helicopters constantly harassing Russian forces.
4. Low morale, poor training, poor planning, etc. Russia clearly underestimated the Ukranian army, but it's hard not to blame them because the army was extremely incompetent in 2014 when they initially invaded the Crimea.
The thing people don't realize is that a lot of these issues are fixable. With Russia only focusing on the Donbass are they can obtain localized numerical superiority, shorten their supply lines, and all the incompetent officers and leaders are basically dead or got sent off to the gulag. The Donbass area is literally the worst place for Ukraine to defend because it's open land with no cover. We might actually start seeing massed artillery and armored attacks in Soviet fashion on both sides.
Russia isn't really "losing" nor "winning" the war. They lost in the sense that they didn't take Kyiv, but they also won in their land grabs to the south and east. Just taking Mariupol gives Russia full access to the northern part of the Crimea and creates a land bridge being Crimea and Donbass. Russia won't give up their land grabs and Ukraine doesn't have the armored force to take it back.
Neither side is going to back down now. The wars going to last the rest of the year.
The one thing which can really make or break Russia's offensive is popular support. A lot of Russians simply don't want this war and view it as an unnecessary agression towards a country that 1/3 of Russians have family in. This sentiment is shared by a lot of the soldiers which explains the low morale. If Putin sends in the millions of reserve personnel to solve their manpower issue it might spark a civil war in Russia .
Their initial plan was for a quick bloodless victory, now they are stuck attacking a numerically superior foe with better morale who is receiving western lots of aid. Russia definitely still has an advantage in terms of equipment but they were taking unsustainable losses at least early on. Only time will tell how Putin decides to spin this.
Excellent and balanced comment!
Solid comment. I hope you are wrong about this lasting the rest of the year, but I fear you are right.
@@KekusMagnuswhat?!? According to a recent New York Times article, Putin’s approval ratings with the Russian people are at 83% for his actions in Ukraine, don’t know where your getting your information from. Joe Biden’s approval ratings are in the mid 30s. You do know Ukrainians are surrendering by the thousands, right? Talk about low morale.
So far their superiority in the Eastern front is not panning out, they have made many incursions to break ua defenses and they have been defeat again, taking heavy loses. Don´t under estimate ua forces, they definitevly are better fighters than the russians, Saw a video where an ua armored infantry vehicle with a 30 mm gun confronted a russian tank, guess what the , the infantry vehicle destroyed the tank, thats only because of the difference betwen the ua soldier vs the ru soldier. So for now my money is still in the ua side.
Any fighter jet is only good for about one mission. When it comes back, it's broken and needs to be serviced.
6:37 was that a farmer waving casually? It's like he's saying "Hello, you like my tank?"
I was thinking the same thing, there should be a video somewhere of Ukrainian cops ticketing all these deserted Russian vehicles just for the meme
Putin falsely thought he could limit NATO expansion by attacking Ukraine but he is actually working to help expand it. He also thinks he can break Ukrainian resolve and determination to fight the Russian invading force by destroying cities but he is increasing their resolve as well as motivating foreign individuals and foreign governments to help Ukraine
A bully boy is big in size because he eat too much . His stomach is big but his mind is small . His body is big but it is made of fat not muscles .
Russia is such a boy .
Yeah that was a miscalculation by Putin. NATO has become more unified than ever because of the opposition to the ukraine invasion. This is is actually making NATO stronger and more committed which is the exact opposite of what Putin wanted.
Hitler did the same thing. When the Luftwaffe couldn't manage to defeat the Royal Airforce by destroying airfields they switched to bombing cities.

I hope when all of this ludicrous shelling is over, Russia is forced to go back in and rebuild what they have destroyed. But there is no way that the loss of life can be paid back.

Quite different when an army goes in against unarmed private citizens. Shame on the mess!

I’m going to be honest, the fight in Donbas and Kherson will decide the war. If either side gains a victory from these two places. It will decide who will control eastern and southern Ukraine. I can see Ukraine winning both, and I can see Russia winning both. These are the decisive battles in Ukraine. Kyiv showed that Ukraine can fight with the Russians, but it wasn’t a decisive victory.

Power of Steel. These tanks are not bad. Good review!
Military rations are usually still edible after the expiration date. The taste gets worse and the nutritional value may drop. They usually have a 3 year shelf life but some say as long as 10 years. Of course that depends on the quality of the ration. With the corruption in the Russian military supply I would be leery of eating even in date rations.
There are a few interesting channels on CZcams where they eat old military rations, and some of them are decades out of date and still fine.

8:18 that is not zil, that is kamaz, interesting thing about kamaz that they could not manufacture new trucks without parts from the west
Another interesting thing is that, those KamAZ trucks have been manufactured since the 70s and they're based on the KamAZ-5320 which appeared in 1976.
Not sure if the model name is correct, but the current Russian army is using the KamAZ-5350 which began production in 2003 and it looks the same, also it's offered with a Cummins engine. The "MAN-looking" trucks are offered with a Mercedes engines. Even if they start manufacturing with Russian made components, the trucks probably would be needed to be refueled every 50 kilometers.
With the shift in the USAs training of its personnel social justice instead of toughness and fighting ability I don’t know who they would do in similar situations. I served during the Cold War and from what I’ve seen and heard from people I know that are in now with the lack of hard training again I don’t think we’d do much better if the situation was reversed.
plenty of countries use out-of-date rations
So the Russian army has been found to be overestimated by the experts. We should all remember not to overestimate our "experts".

I was born in 1964 in West Germany, so I am more or less a "veteran of the Cold War" and the question of how strong "the Russians" are is almost as common as the question of the weather!
Following current events(since 24.02) and trying to understand them quickly leads one astray, because the analysis often starts with only one visible, seemingly easy to grasp (partial) aspect in order to simplify the interpretation. The question of how to assess the offensive strength of the Russian army, for example, is often based on the number and quality of the tanks. First, the individual technical tank is considered before the tactics and strategy that can underlie these combat vehicles are researched in more detail and perhaps understood. What is always seen last and is hardly grasped properly is the adjective "Russian". For every military device has its specific national background from which the overriding characteristics can also be derived, but which cannot be seen in the object.
Russia is by far the largest country on earth (17,000,000 km²) and the total length of the country's borders (not the coasts!) is 20,027 kilometres. These geographical proportions alone explain almost everything that is "Russian":
The immense strategic depth, which makes Russia invincible in a defensive war; the wealth of resources and why the railway is and remains the most important means of transport; and why the Russian army always has to have so many tanks, precisely because "there should be one everywhere". All this can be deduced from the size of the country, which can be used, but also poses a problem. But it also explains that it is completely impossible to concentrate the entire numerical mass of tanks, for example, on one front and confront another army for attack. It is these geographical conditions and dimensions which explain the defensive strength and relative(!) weakness of the Russian army in the offensive, and which constitute its nimbus, and whose faltering on foreign soil baffles one. But no one should think of deducing from this disproportion any military chance of being able to defeat Russia on its own soil; for there they would ultimately find about 142 million Russians (and others) who would defend their country just as the Ukrainians are defending theirs today. Because people are always the first to be overlooked in statistics.
All wars are not the same. There are really unjust and just wars. The great patriotic war (1941-45) was won because people defended their lives and their homeland, while the Germans merely followed orders, their sense of superiority or propaganda. Now, in 2022, it will be the same.
Имейте ввиду Донбасс, Харьков ... это русская земля и там живут русские люди!
They arent faltering they are holding back. Russia could level everything but thats obviously not the plan... Russia is minimizing civ casualties, which is taking a huge tactical toll. It doesnt help that the defenders wont let civilians leave, so that they can be used as human shields.
Even if, the civ casualties compared to military ones are at a fantastic ratio.
@@GhostScout42 what are you talking about!? Russia has already sent thousands of rockets at civilians. Dumb bot.
But I would also say whoever’s in the defensive automatically has the advantage… most of the time.
Sir,
Of the Size of Russia as a country, Would you say that the habitable parts constitute up to 75% of this land mass?
As said by The Infographics Show
“Russia has gone from the second best military to the second best military, in Ukraine”
One certainty from this point on: all potential Russian targets will henceforth be stocking up on MAN-PADS anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons, making sure to NOT buy Russian-made versions, but modern Western versions. The M777 artillery piece is also going to be a very popular purchase by these same target countries, Finland in particular.
A stupid error: The SU-34’s “double tails” (i.e., the vertical stabilizers) do not give it the ability to change direction at high angles. What the narrator is referring to is the use of thrust vectoring, which is a capability the SU-34 does not have.
Stupid intolerant, small, conceited comment.
"At high angles" what does that even mean? High angles of attack? Of bank? It's typical cookie cutter military 'analysis' without any actual depth or meaning.
Yeah, this is clearly a daycare level understanding of warfare from the news agency.
And emphasizing Russia's 850k soldiers vs Ukraine's ~200k. Russia can't send every one of their soldiers to Ukraine and they can't even properly mobilize their military unless they declare war. Mainstream media coverage of this war is embarrassing.
Get your facts out of here. This is a place for propaganda. Wartime propaganda rules: "The enemy is losing terribly; we are winning by a huge measure!"
I keep seeing these videos and articles about Russian failure. But it sure seems like Ukraine is on the backfoot at the moment. I just don't like being lied to by journalists, tell us what is actually happening- disinformation from BOTH SIDES is so prevalent now, you can't believe anything at face value.
I recall about a month ago, many of these same news outlets making these silly criticisms were stating "Russia has already lost, it's just a matter of days before their surrender". Weeks later, the Russians are still making steady progress, capturing territory and defeating Ukrainian units. Russians are suffering immense casualties, it seems, but they are still ultimately the one accomplishing their objectives so far.
I think it's because of the poor coordination. Russia always denied that it want to go to a war. And it suddenly went into the war. Moreover the troops which were mobilized were gone to practice war games and they may have used most of resources.

He's one of the reasons why our calculations were so off, listen to his comments. I think his comments and estimations on Russia's effectiveness in Syria and Crimea are also miscalculations. If we were so off in our observations of the Russian military, because they didn't just fall apart overnight" this has been a gradual degration of its military apparatus over time. So to say that they were effective in Crimea and in Syria, "I believe in my opinion" is also flawed. I think under further investigations with a more skeptical eye I think we will see that they were telltale signs of Russia's degration within its military way back in Crimea in 2015 or even in Syria.

If you want to believe the fiction and lies that tell you Ukraine is made of invincible Rambos that somehow lose terrain and beg for ammo and equipment every day.
Small Explanation by my side:
1. Terrible logistics. Since WW2, russia and the soviet union never changed their supply tactics. They still use the old tactic of "some brigades get 10 fuel trucks and the other unimportant ones will have to rely on 1 fuel truck" compared to nato's and most of the world's "call and pull" tactic in which a brigade calls for supplies. This was one of the reasons why the soviet union failed to conquer afghanistan. Not only were the afghans trained to specifically attack supply lines, they were also trained on how to hide properly. I won't even talk about the bad food that russian soldiers receive.
2. Bad training. Not only are russia's operators trained inferior to ukrainian and nato ones, they are also mostly unprepared for any war situation. It's also one of the reasons that so many casualities arise in war and even in exercises. e.g, in Georgia, a russian anti-air brigade with SAMs acidentally shot down their own fighter jet. Another reason is the poor communication between brigades and their dependence on their high ranks. Ukrainian soldiers (including airforce, navy and ground forces) are trained to be independent and to make their own decisions.
3. Corruption at every level. Many people forget that Ukraine's army was known for it's corruption before 2014. e.g, much of ukraine's army was sold away and most of the money went into the pockets of politicians. (Yanukovich e.g). Ukraine has improved massivly in that aspect. Russia is exactly Ukraine before 2014. Most of the money is stolen away, making much of their 'modern' tech useless. We have seen ERA slaps without their ERA in them, soviet communication devices in 'new' vehicles like the T72B3 Obr. 2016.
4. Underestimating the enemy. Not only did Russia underestimate Ukraine, but it also lost it's flagship in the Black sea because of that. Humiliating, nothing else. We know for some time already that russian intelligence services (like GRU and FSB) tried to steal documents that documented Ukraine's neptune anti-ship missle programm. Not only did they fail in doing that, but they also probably underestimated their functionality.
What is the F.e abbr? For example? If so, it's usually abbr as eg
@@pierrecurie F.e is for example. Im sorry if im wrong for that. In my language, we usually just use the first letter of the usual word as a short form.

@@pierrecurie lol haha
Not having support from soldiers on foot is also a big blunder. Sending a few tanks only into a street is easy to aim with a javelin and pantzerfaust 3.
I think it is logical to assume that when one attacks a country where the soldiers and people feel no loyalty to their leaders, the attack will be swift and effective (like when the US attacked Iraq). When the people and soldiers stand behind their leaders and the political system, their resolve is very different.
Today, the Ukrainians stated that 3000 ukrainian soldiers was KIA and about 10.000 or more wounded. The kill/wounded ratio seems likely for normal warfare. Follow the same doctrine on such ratios the attacker has lost 3 to 4 times these numbers. When one watch the news it's possible that the number could even be higher.
< the attack will be swift and effective (like when the US attacked Iraq)>
LOL, you mean like when US attacked the already sanctioned Iraq (10 years, I think) using armored coloums and with no care of civilian casualties.
