Great interview! Very clear and sobering.
What a great example of a brave man, that Commander at the end of the episode is. Leading by example and understanding that every soldier has fear. The main thing is, as far as I can tell, to know that your fellow soldiers are all of the same mindset, and have your back. Glory to Ukraine and Glory to The Heroes...
Great pod cast, keep it up fellas
The pierce on the Dragonfire weaponry was very interesting.
Extremely. That's some Star Wars stuff.
I don't know, sounds great but will it work during cloudy days?

Thanks. I needed the laugh. ☮️♾️
Well thought through and intelligent reporting!
Hello Dom, Francis, David. I love your show, I watch it almost every night and 2 of my buddies also love it ❤🥰😻🇺🇦🇬🇧. Greetings from Atlanta, USA 🇺🇸. May God protect the ❤🇺🇦Ukrainians 🙏🙏🙏. May the rot leave the 🇺🇸 US government and may the 🇺🇦 aid package finally pass 🙏🙏🙏😢.
It’s not going to pass because this democrat money laundromat is finally getting called out for what it is…… everyone is going to get to go home to their families and the US is going to find somewhere else to help destroy
GREAT interview@
Great coverage. Thanks for keeping us informed.
Repeating the lies of one side alone does not represent being informed, it represents being misled. Only those who've been misled can be in favour of war.
The Colonel's insight was blunt and very effective, we need to keep supporting these guys.
Western media apart from Dom and his gang don't appear to be interested. This has a knock on effect to the political support.
Enlist?
Dom is my spirit animal.
I missed him last week!
Brilliant!
Dom has the best quips. Today’s was …”that will do it” when referencing a pointless UN statement 😂
Tx from Berlin
I share your frustration Dom. It does seem that there are no adults in the room. Where is the leadership we need at this critical moment in history?
Perfectly said!
@chrisviking7807Yes he was the best and they couldn't forgive him for being human. They go through 3 or 4 in each 5-year term, it is ridiculous. Canada has been trying to get rid of theirs for 9 years and they are not able to. There has to be a happy medium somewhere ...
Winston Churchill springs to mind!
Boris will be back. Just like when Churchill returned
This U-tube channel is an excellent source of Ukraine news. This American appreciates your efforts. SLAVA UKRAINI
Totally. Such insightful deep and smart analysis of the world today. respect from norway #slavaukraine
Ukraine-west-American propaganda...after 2years of listening this people still think UA can win. People in this century are so stupid, 2 years they were afraid about covid, and once Russia full invasion to Ukraine start, covid just dissapeared and now they believe Zelensky that Russia gonna attack whole Europe :D when UA finally admit defeat I want to see with what media gonna brainwash u
It's all lies and propaganda 😂
Right now its hard to find better than this,top shelf stuff this channel.
Вы скоро сами попроситесь назад - можете отметить этот пост.
Thanks.
Glory to Ukraine. God Bless Ukraine and her people. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

I listen everyday from the Central Coast NSW Australia 🦘
Bloody good show eh govna?
i really appreciate your honest commentary on the War in Ukraine. i like the format and hosts very much. Slava Ukraine and NATO
Always listening on CZcams religiously from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦.
Hopefully Australian ammo factories are still sending everything they can. It's a wake up call though, the burn up rate of artillery rounds is humungous.
I also hope Australian built laser directed PADS are getting a good workout and if they are useful deploy more.
Great news sourse, perhaps my favorite. This is so needed in the age of news these days. Keep up the great reporting!
What a great leader. Great interview
Still listening from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

What part, Vegreville?
Listening to every episode from here in S.W. Florida.
The interview was great. It highlighted the realities of this war.
Very informative interview.. better than top brass.
Incredible interview at the end.
Please encourage Ukrainians to tour the United States. I attended screenings of 20 Days In Mariupol, Freedom On Fire, and an art event at a local synagogue. To meet and hand-to-hand contribute funding to Ukrainians advances both the strength of Ukraine and the understanding that Americans now risk direct confrontation with the would-be Czar and his armies of zombies.
Ukrainians emphasize they need weapons and funding, not our soldiers. If Ukraine does not stop the Czar, Europeans and Americans will bleed next.
And read the New York Times 'opinion' written by J.D.Vance, one of the Republican isolationists. He misstates many details, manufactures defeatism, and thinks the Atlantic Ocean protects the United States. I encourage The Telegraph to voice his obedience to Putin and Trump, then inform him of his ignorance and cowardice.
More detailed information to Americans about what is actually going on in Ukraine can only be good - nobody would refuse help if they knew the real situation on the ground.

Still listening from North Yorkshire and not in any way put off by Russian Bots....
For anyone following, or trying to follow, Russia’s war of aggression & genocide in Ukraine, this pod is essential listening. Excellent reports move thru topics briskly, and feature many interesting interviews with wonderful, brave & dedicated volunteers & orgs at the fronts or on the ground helping civilians and the Armed Forces of Ukraine in myriad creative & devoted ways. I’m in wonder every day listening to Ukraine the Latest. Indispensable information from reliable sources. Victoria
Genocide? Don’t be absurd.
When a line goes relentlessly eastward (closer and closer to a resurgent Russia)……. Constantly absorbing new lands and demanding that Europeans buy expensive LPG from the US ……… no one wants the EU anymore and NATO is located across the road from the EU head offices in Brussels…… the EU has become like the old USSR …… shutting down decent/ controlling the media and constantly moving away from free markets capitalism……. Russia and China and India and New money gang are all that’s left to save us from the tyranny
Вот вам надежные сведения - Россия возвращает без спешки своё
The war was provoked by nato expansion. Ukraine had the chance for a peaceful outcome but rejected the agreements
If this is genocide, why did 3 million Ukrainians move to Russia?
Excellent podcast.
I listen to the podcast every day at work! It's excellent. We need to all understand more fully how Russian colonialism, genocide, and history revisionism works. This podcast does a good job to teach others.
Read some history
@@mitchyoung93 we are horrified if we found out more atrocities from the historical Russia! do we prefer these analyses!
What are Russia’s current colonies? Please enlighten me
@@richardwilson57 Everything east and South of Moscow. All stolen land. Georgia too, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Chechnya. Stolen, invaded, genocide, colonialism. Russians are the bad guys.
@@mitchyoung93 Cool, now that I did that Russian colonialism and genocide must be stopped.
What a great interview👍👍thanks guys..this man knows what he talking abt..stay strong Ukraine!🇸🇪👍
Nothing really new about trying lasers in this way though the technology is no doubt getting better. What has been known for a long time is that the major range limiting factor is "Thermal Bloom". Basically the laser also heats up the air it passes through and as air (and the water vapour therein" heats it becoming opaque and absorbing more of the energy effectively dispersing and reflecting the laser. So there is a limit to range - though I'm sure lots of techno-tweaks are being made to extend the point at which this happens. I would guess 8 smaller lasers converging at the target point is part of this.
Let the Ukrainian engineers connect their radars into FrankenDragonfire & those folks will come up with ways to modulate, target, enhance, pattern spread, etc. that the UK wouldn’t think of right now since they’re not under direct fire. Please accelerate this ASAP!!!
I think the Ukrainians have really proved themselves as highly creative and innovative, and have the technical capabilities too. I am an inventor and I am always intrigued to see what they do.
Hmmm,dont be so sure,the Brits and their "Boffins" have a Tendency and a History of coming up with weird War wining weapons
Listening in Houston, TX. I don't let a day go by. Слава Україні!
The US Senate should allow a vote on HB5692 to support Ukraine.
Always excellent commentary! Best wishes from the fellas and NAFO.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 from 🇬🇧
Buckinghamshire - thanks for another informative update 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧
What a great interview with Lieutenant Colonel Pavlo Kurylenko , I continue to be amazed by the intelligence of the Ukraine people. Having listen to countless interviews I have yet to come across anything but the smartest individuals we must all support Ukraine this country has a lot to offer humanity.
I've never missed an episode from these guys. In depth analysis, measured and insightful. The best Ukraine invasion podcast.
😂😂😂 Самый забавный из возможных.
A free operational testing ground for a prototype weapon ... of course the UK government is offering it, it's not necessarily about generosity, it's about getting operational info that would take decades to achieve outside and active theatre.
Beggars can't be choosers.
@@mfallen2023who’s begging? It’s an offer not a request!! Keep your insideous comments to yourself.
Excellent as always - tuned in from Sydney down under. Great interview with that Ukrainian commander - brave dude.
Wonderful reports and great interview, very sobering. Thanks for reporting from Ukraine, I never miss your reports.
Bravo Ukraine.
Stay Strong and Keep up the Good Work!
Miss Green is perfectly correct when she makes her observations about mr Johnson.
Real eye open from the front on comments
Great work ❤🇦🇺
“That’s do it!” Exactly. The sarcasm is on point.
I thought that too, it's over 2 yrs now and the rhetoric is still so weak and vapid.
The troll traffic on channels addressing DragonFire reveals how important Russia considers this technology to be. Field testing under real war conditions can pay a huge dividend to the donor nation as well as to Ukraine. There has never been a better time to proceed with great haste.
During the final months of WW2 there was a leader that became obsessed with super weapons that would turn the tide of the war …… just sayin’ ;)
Range would be line of sight thus limited to the visible horizon.
It's better these Russian bots waste their time trolling people who know better like the people who listen to this podcast
Good point 👍🏻🇺🇦
Word🔱
If only it were that easy... The one's that are obviously pro-Russia regardless of the situation, those are bots. But there are people that can see the current trajectory is not going to end well, aid or no, and are screaming that if Ukraine wants to remain a sovereign nation it will have to negotiate, and soon. Better to lose 20% of your territory than 50%, 70%, all of it.
I mean we're seeing reports from the west that Russian forces are stronger now than at the start, with essentially the same number of tanks/armor & 6x the 152-155mm artillery than Ukraine possesses. Aid is not going to help in that regard, especially when they are already congregating forces in two areas for an obvious inward blitz that will rip the defense wide-open. That's looking like it might be a go in the next week or so...
It's not "fair", but the best way to save lives is to agree to a settlement. But I suppose any dissent that is against EU saber-rattling = "Russian bots" whether the argument is sound or not.
Agree.
Have been following for over a year now.Irreplacable.
The interview the army guy was one of the best yet. Ukranians are just so smart, they are fascinating to listen to
Wavelength has many implications for the performance of a beamed weapon. Longer wavelengths like radio are less coherent (they tend to go everwhere) but penetrate through fog and smoke better. Propogation of radiation through particles, i.e. smoke, is proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength (from memory)
Thx for the update
your lasers v. drones remind me of Val Kilmer in Real Genius. ahhhh, back when cutting edge weapons were frowned upon and made to look funny! how many bags of unpopped popcorn can destroy a house please? i guess the brits were taking notes back then and we should have been too!!!!!!!
I can't see this technology going anywhere in the near future. There are a few problems with it that can't be overcome. The first is line of sight the second is armour. Ceramic armour would be very hard to overcome for a laser when the missile is hypersonic.
@@sickboy8682follow your guidelines and everyone is dead.
@@sickboy8682 Perhaps lasers might be more useful against very cheap drones. If those drones then added armour, they'd no longer be as cheap.
"Bloom" on laser weapons could be a significant issue
“Quantity has a quality all its own.”
The description of a defense in depth with the maneuver element behind the static element is very reminiscent of German tactics in the late war period of ww2.

Союзники Украины считают честью, а не бременем, поддерживать Украину. Все за одного.
Ответственность за войну в Украине и любую эскалацию несёт Россия.
Заявления и действия России подтверждают, что под термином "переговоры" она подразумевает промежуточный этап поставленных ранее преступных задач.
На примере Украины Россия говорит всему мировому сообществу: мы за мир, при условии, что будем делать всё, что хотим, с кем хотим и где хотим; будем брать всё, что хотим, у кого хотим и где хотим. Мир, предлагаемый Россией, - это брошенный всем на планете вызов и поощрение для тех, кто способен подобное повторять.
Развязка войны в Украине имеет последствия для мира во всём мире и заключается в отказе России от преступных целей.
Чтобы найти силы и волю для начала выхода из огромной катастрофы ненависти и войны, российскому обществу и руководству рекомендуется обратиться к декларируемым ими традиционным ценностям, элементарным основам морали и права.
ответственность несут сами люди - которые давно перестали думать. Хотя не всем дано думать
Good show
Constructive interference does not make a laser more than the sum of its parts.
If the interference is optimal, it just makes it equal to the sum of all smaller lasers.
Cheers
The strategy seems to be to advance towards Lvov at the moment. Nebenzia at the UN made a prediction, lets see if it comes true.
Several decades ago I read a New Scientist on a plane. The article was about using microwaves to remove brain tumours. The concept was that narrow waves from many different directions could pass harmlessly through the brain, but where they all crossed it essentially created an “energy scalpel” that could be used to break up a tumour. I have no clue if this is now mainstream, but at the time I wondered if it was scaled up, could the same concept (a network of lasers focused on the same target) could be used for air defence.
And if they don’t name it a “proton pack” (from Ghostbusters) rather than dragon fire… I think they are missing a trick 😀👍🏻.
NATO doctrine is to establish air dominance first, and also that there is not a shortage of weapons or ammunition which is not much use for Ukraine 56:46
Excellent podcast for the duration of this abhorrent invasion of a peacful nation.
A laser beam to destroy a item flying through the air! Great idea! However if a smoke bomb will prevent the laser from striking the target, it seems easy to prevent them from being effective. Hopefully the can make it work well.
Clouds, rain, snow, fog, etc.
Very intetesting info from the Ukraine commander at the end. Reminds of info from Waffen SS artilllery spotter who told of directing fire to utter destruction of Russian forces and equipment all soon replaced and destroyed again and replaced again etc until his unit had retreated out of range. (Walking back through the rear of Russian lines was not the problem walking towards his own lines always needed double the caution)
Dragonfire isn’t very strong at 55 Kw, Isreal’s iron dome is 100 Kw, the US laser is 300 Kw so its very under powered in comparison with its near peers, great news we’re in the business but a lot of catching up to do
The political system in UK is rotten 😂😂😂
What happens if any EU or other Western troops dispatched to "Away from Front Lines" actually come under fire/attack from the enemy? Do they not fire back ???
since they will be hit with missiles i doubt they will fire back
Great podcast. ❤️👍 listening from Slovakia
DragonFire? Sounds like a James Bond weapon.
Ukraine needs more air defense to protect lives!
This is a fantastic podcast and any comments made by Russian bots or sympathisers are just going to get laughed 😂 at.
Everyone who is worth listening to is fully supporting Ukraine as a principle at this point.
Get lost USSR revisionists!
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤ 🎉
Edit: I loved hearing this Ukrainian hero speaking, wonderful work.
Russian troops destroyed the first Khmara electronic warfare station of the Ukrainian army over the past day in the special military operation in Ukraine, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported on Monday.
Russian troops destroyed the Khmara jammer in the Avdeyevka area, it specified.
"In counter-battery fire, the following targets were destroyed: a US-made 155mm M109 Paladin self-propelled artillery gun, a 152mm Akatsiya self-propelled artillery gun, a 122mm Gvozdika motorized artillery system, three 122mm D-30 howitzers, a US-manufactured 105mm M102 howitzer and a Khmara electronic warfare station," the ministry said in a statement.

named Bob Amsterdam who was the guest on Tucker Carlson show
Bob amsterdan is a paid lobbyist basically working for the
keml how does he work for the Kremlin he works for a gentleman uh named Vadim
ninski uh who is called Putin's whip when he served in the Ukrainian uh
Parliament some time ago because he was always pushing for Kremlin outcomes this fellow who is directly connected to the
Russian Orthodox church and who is basically uh a 100% Putin sympathizer is
the man paying the bill of the lobbyist in Washington DC where were putting out the reports and the individuals that are
specifically being interviewed by Carlson and quoted by Marjorie Taylor green so in this particular case we can
say with a 100% shity this comes directly from the Kremlin directly there's no question about it we know the
source that's it and it's Moscow…💙💛💙

Over the past 24 hours, the Russian Armed Forces hit a launcher of the IRIS-T anti-aircraft missile system, the Russian Ministry of Defense said.
"The launcher of the German-made IRIS-T anti-aircraft missile system and an ammunition depot were destroyed," the ministry said. The personnel and equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were also defeated in 129 districts.
The Russian Armed Forces also shot down 41 unmanned aerial vehicles, three Hammer and JDAM guided bombs, as well as one HIMARS MLRS shell of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the ministry said. "Over the past 24 hours, air defense systems shot down 41 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles, 3 Hammer guided aerial bombs made in France and a JDAM made in the US, as well as a missile of the US-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket system," the ministry said.
At the same time, units of the Russian North group of forces hit the personnel and equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the regions of Kharkov and Sumy in the Belgorod direction. "In the Belgorod direction, units of the North group of troops, with the support of aviation and artillery, hit the personnel and equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the areas of the settlements of Ternovaya, Gatishche in the Kharkov region and Radyanskoye in the Sumy region," the ministry said.

Who generated the 451k figure? BBC figure for Russian KIA is arguably the most reliable but probably a little under the true figure.
Will Iran, North Korea, China, South Africa all be in Moscow for the victory parade?
Watching this on saturday..some good new abt Ukraine bil..Trump is positive if the bil is in form of a loan..thats good news imo👍👍
Journo-Hobbits are wildly detached from the reality of this our lost war.
Perhaps Europe should do as whip round and give Ukrainian front line troops a very healthy combat pay rise and health insurance premiums paid for life in European medical facilities. May turn out to be a very effective and inexpensive investment.
