I have aquired a new respect for the slovakian people!! Slovakia will not be a push-over for some cheap Kremlin manipulation. Go Slovakia!
In Sweden we have a saying.
"There is no cow on the ice"
It means that its no rush.
It probably comes from when farmers check the lakes in the winter. No cows means no drowning animals going through the ice.
"pouring syrup on shit don't make it pancakes"
lol
Factual! 🧡
Right on Finland no restrictions to Ukraine on use of their munitions
Whatever Dimitri.... That, just that! Let it be the reaction against any trolls.
There comes the monkey out of the sleeve. (in English The cat is out of the bag) When it suddenly becomes clear how something works, or when someone's true intention or character finally becomes apparent.
Uk saying: "Company in your trousers" = had a nasty fright.
Not here to f*** spider's is one of my favourite sayings 🤗
💐 Hi Louise and a good morning to you ☕
As an Aussie, while happy with this recent announcement, I am generally disgusted by the lack of Australian help for Ukraine. We talk a big talk (about Bushmaster and cardboard drones) but the reality is very different. Very typical for the current ruling government.
shows.acast.com/ukraine-the-latest/episodes/this-war-is-not-in-stalemate-drones-sink-russia-black-sea-pa
There was a Ukraine the latest episode on the 5th March 2024 (6th March down under) that talked about how poor the Australian support had been. I felt ashamed listening. I recommend the podcast to your viewers. I can't post the link here, but it's easy to find and I am sure ATP viewers are well aware of Ukraine the Latest.
cheers mate, I will check it out. As a soon to be Royal Marine (hopefully by the end of the year), although Australia's aid is lackluster I still consider Australia one of the UK's greatest operational allies. 🇬🇧🤝🇦🇺
I cannot agree more, what we are is abysmal
As an Aussie, I don't ever want the LAST GOVERNMENT LNP for the representation of Australians ever again. They sold my future and have done nothing for me at all. Only followed by wannabes who have no idea about politics cause if they did they wouldn't vote for them 🙄
The manufacture of "Storm shadow" seems to be done in a functional workshop and not in a production line. Question of production model!
Great stream as always Jon - Australian expression - for Putin and his Generals - "the Russians have a few Roos loose in the top paddock" = aka - it means to be crazy, to be insane, to be nuts, to be bananas, to be bonkers. Basically the Aussie equivalent saying of "a few sandwiches short of a picnic" - aka - they are not all there in the head
A Danish equivalent: "Roterende fis i kasketten' translates as "Rotating farts in the cap" (That's cap as in hat, not bottle kind)😆
The wheels turning but the hamsters dead. heh
nice
LMAO!!!! That's Great!!!
Not a full shilling
Thanks, JP. I like the saying, " Circling the drain", which means on the way to oblivion.
We NEED more Australian Aid if it means we get more of that accent from JP!
Hi Team again, Thank you Jonathan...
Hey Buddy!
Good evening 🌃 I hope by tomorrow you're feeling as good as new 💐
@@surpriseitsus9622 Thanks Lynn, feeling good allready now, that was one day flu, i hope that it will not come back to morrow but its feel like im back in health now
G'day JP. Hello all 😊
😊 ❤
Hello Jonathan and ATP team.
The expression with respect to Spiders is one used here too.😂
Hi Ansel, I've never heard this 🕸 spider phrase
21:20 -
A year ago, when we were discussing Russian prewar inventory of infantry equipment, I mentioned that somewhere between 20-25% would be inoperable due to lack of maintenance and poor storage conditions. If we also take into account all the cannibalization for replacement parts for active duty equipment that has been going on, I would say that number would be closer to 30%.
If close to 50% have been pulled from storage and 30% is unusable, that leaves only 20% remaining, and that would mostly consist of older gear (LIFO).
On the front lines, we'll probably see a weird mixture of new but substandard kit (production pressures and impact of sanctions) and almost comical kit your great-grandpa might have used.
They'll push anything that might work.
Totally agree..........
Agreed!!! Putin doesn't care about the Body count, all he cares about is Territory! And I am starting to think that other Nations are going to have to start getting more involved in the war, with actual Boots on the Ground! I think the only thing to stop Putin's War everywhere is the people of Russia Rising up like it did in the 90s. Or an overwhelming Military Response that destroys most of his Military Capabilities, not just in Ukraine! I will say what you see in Ukraine is not the Real Russian Military for the most part! He is just using people he could care less about and are basically useless, and all his Old Equipment! Once he runs out of all the stuff he doesn't care about, we will either have to start fighting Russia's Real Military that it has set aside to fight NATO and The West, or he could have to retreat from all occupied Ukrainian Territory. Which I think is highly doubtful. He is like Trump, his EGO is too big to lose! And at that point if the Russian People haven't taken back their country from him, he is going to resort to Irrational decisions. Like Using the Real Russian Military, which will get destroyed as well, or the only other crazy option I can think of, NUKE'S....
Hello again JP Greetings troops 🖐👍😊
One of my favorite American Southernisms is, "Bless your heart..."
That's a Southern code for "You're such an idiot." It's especially common among Southern ladies. "Awww, bless his heart..." and so forth. Nobody else can quite reproduce the sound of it from a Southern belle. You know good and well she's calling you an idiot, but they say it so sweetly that you don't care, and melt instantly anyway.
Thanks JP!!!
🇸🇪 (child-friendly profanity from my childhood) "Järnspikar" = "iron nails". But I have heard the one you talked about... with angry and irritated voice. "Damn, now he has really pooped in the blue cupboard!"
It was an old memory that made me smile. An expression that was popularized (and perhaps invented) by the popular Swedish actor Janne "Loffe" Carlsson in the film Göta kanal. czcams.com/video/dAIxwTp1HlM/video.htmlsi=_NYK72WJ302w1H58
Hey JP, JR, subscribers 🇺🇦
Hi there Clockwork
@@Finnishguy777 hey man, hope you’re having a good weekend.
Good morning!
Hi Sean 😊
Considering Australia is not in the EU or NATO, this aid package (not the first) is terrific. Australia is also contending with a looming threat in the Pacific from China whilst needing to bolster its limited defense capabilities.
Australian aid is very appreciated in Europe. 10,000 km are really not the closest connection to this war, but there is sympathy for the people in Ukraine. Thank you Australia! 👍❤
Thanks for all your hard work
Thank you Jonathan ❤ Love to all ❤
I've never heard the spiders saying before 😳
Thank you to Australia! 🇦🇺 all good stuff. Your Australian accent is great, I enjoyed that! I've watched that vid before 😂 proper funny 😁 ❤

Hi Nikki, I've never heard of the "🖕 spiders" saying either. 🌌 ❤✨
@@surpriseitsus9622 Hiya Lynn, what colourful language we have. I just love how we use it. Ukrainians have some of the most bizarre expressions I've ever heard! I think it's one of the reasons that direct translations tend to lose the meaning of what's said. 🫂 ❤️
Square root of eff all is one of my favorites lately. Lol spiders. Never heard that but its getting filed away for quick reaction deployment. Yeah, I'm with you on thinking hypersonic is too expensive for the results . I suppose having the ability to manufacture them would be important for updating nuclear arsenals but I'm thinking laser weapons could make missiles obsolete no matter how fast they go. Light goes faster and lasers could be underground usng prisms and lenses to direct them to the target, or even up in tethered balloons. Anyway cheers fella.
Couldn't agree with you more! But I think we still have some years before we can put an Operational Laser into the theatre that can take down all incoming Ballistic and Hypersonic weapons! Cause at this point we can take out something up to a mile away I believe. And it takes tons of Power and if you have Multiple Projectiles coming you'd need a lot of Lasers! I do believe it will take over Air Defense, but we still have years to go where it will be effective enough. But I very much agree with you.
I agree with you on that Russia is at a pinch point with regards to combat vehicles and transport. Why do we see trucks being used as AFVs? And those tanks which are used as other transport?
Back to if you could you would, which means they can’t field the necessary types of vehicles needed..
Another one from Sweden " l sense owls in the bog"😅
When something strange is going on 😊
You're right,terrible Ozzie accent😂
I don't use it often, but there is definantly a time and place for "we're not here to f##k spiders".
I first heard it in the building industry. To me it is a way of saying "we are here to work" used both as a response to someone being surprised how quickly you got something done or as a subtle form of encouragement to "pull your finger out" and get stuff done.
"Pull your finger out" (of your ass) or "extract the digit" is quite widely used where i am the say "hurry up" at least as often as not there is a "f##k'n" added in the middle of the expression.
"For f##ks sake" or "Oh, for f##k's sake" is a widely used expression of frustration often used when dealing with the results of someones stupidity or incompetence.
Belfast,I turned round and said to him is it yourself so I did
"Can't polish a turd."
Or
"Polishing a turd gets you a turd & a real shitty mess."
The mocking comments about the Storm Shadow production line are likely related to the visible lack of automation. I think that is a valid criticism (although delivered in an unpleasant/unhelpful way).
The lack of military-industrial automation in Western European defence manufacturing - in addition to low volumes of production - are key reasons we've been unable to rapidly flex production capacity upwards when we needed it.
Very significant investment is required to go from essentially mostly-manual production to highly automated/robotised manufacture, so there are a difficult set of investment and political decisions required before that step is taken.
Of course, highly manual production can be scaled to a degree by hiring more people, but you will never achieve the same efficiencies and speed (analogy: see videos of Sunderland's Nissan plant vs building a niche sports car - it's a completely different process to do small volume minimally-automated versus high volume, highly-automated).
Jono and team. The phrase, "We're not here to f*** spider!", is I think Australian, and not Kiwi. I've not heard it before. In NZ my favourite is, "He couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery". But that may have originally come from Ireland. Tippling philosophers of the world unite! 😀
Cheers, Art H
Afternoon all. thanks JP.
Hi 😊
Wonderful work as always JP.
While I am encouraged by the destruction of Russian equipment, I question the overall significance of it on a strategic level. Using this as a significant measurement of successes assumes that Russia is restraint by their own capacity to replace equipment and kit. If this assumption is removed, such as the prospect of aid flowing in from Russia’s allies, the calculation significantly changes. The assumption that Russia’s allies will not significantly come to their aid is unrealistic. They have a significant interest in making sure that Russia wins this war. Supporting this is the fact that Russia’s allies have already started to aid them in areas of need. This is a forecast of what is to come. We have seen them offer man-portable kit such as night vision, ballistic armor vest, artillery, missals, drones, and the raw materials to manufacture weapons. There is no reason to doubt that Russia’s allies will support Russia with increase aid as needed.
If we assume that Russian’s allies will increase their aid as needed, this changes much of the calculations that I see presented by many people. In this case, dwindling Russian stockpiles, damage to their economic infrastructure (such as oil refineries), and targeting their military industrial complex will hurt but not push Russia to its knees. Russia can share weapon building expertise with its allies and use their capabilities, capacities and industries to patch gaps in its needs. Again, we have seen this already happen. But will Russia’s allies fully commit to this war? I suspect that Iran and North Korea will. China? Well, that is the question on the minds of many.
Time is not on Ukraine’s side. Ukraine does not have a year to shape the battlefield as some would suggest. They need quick and decisive victories that achieve territorial gains. The more territory that Russia gains, they more territory that Ukraine will have to liberate at a much higher cost then it would have been to hold it in a defensive position. Ukraine cannot assume that Russia will run out of equipment (if its allies aid it); it cannot be assumed that Russia will run out of troops with its vest population and ability to recruit beyond its borders - it is Ukraine that is struggling to recruit and mobilize soldiers to support this war and this will only become more challenging over time.
Assuming that Russia’s allies aid them, the longer the war drags on, the more likely it will be that this war will end at best in a frozen conflict that territorially favors Russia. The longer this war goes on the more likely that China will side with Russia as its interests in Europe and the U.S. are weakening while their interests grow in the global south. The longer this war goes on, the more costly it will be and the more likely that Ukraine’s allies will pressure to freeze the conflict. Alternatively, the longer this war continues the more likely it is that nations, including those in NATO, may have to support soldiers which will likely expand this war.
So, is it all doom and gloom? No, Ukraine can win this war. But it will take a massive infusion of aid from its allies in conjunction with Ukraine taking massive steps to increase its recruitment and mobilization efforts. Ukraine will have to come to the conclusion that war requires accepting risk, and the loss of significant detrition of troops and equipment in decisive battles. One must not be reckless with the lives of their soldiers and equipment, but one should not be paralyzed at the prospect of suffering loss in taking significant military objectives. D-Day was required as risky and painful as it was. Ukraine must come to the conclusion that time is not on its side to make decisive actions. I offer this perspective not as a criticism, but as an alternative prospective to increase the likelihood of Ukrainian victory. I question the current assumptions that seem to dismiss current Russian assistance by its allies while over emphasizing the strategic importance of degrading Russian equipment while dismissing the importance of territorial gains by both sides.
All great videos thank you for all the video's and for keeping me well informed
Thx JP for you hard work
2x, Jon, Team.
If you change the emphasis in that Australian saying it can mean all sorts of things.

Wonder why the Russians still flock to Crimea.
Wouldn't Sochi be a better choice?
But maybe everything is overbooked and there simply isn't anything available.
Or, maybe a dash of danger and unpredictability is just what they crave.
Or maybe they just don't know what's going on in the world?
Well they will get it!!!
Thanks for the news update JP… take some time and work on that Australian accent, maybe watch crocodile Dundee a few times introduce a classic to your kids! Happy Sunday!
There's no cow on the ice as long as both hindlegs are on land.
The accent is totally sigma JP, Good on ya. However, Australia's cumulative support for Ukraine is still bloody underwhelming. All very meh around here
Impressing what the Slovakian people are doing. What a slap in the face for Fico!
It's about time we strated making more and you for your updates mate
I think what is more important is to develop an Anti hypersonic missile.
Love it when countries compete to be the best, "good guy".
As always, a great and really interesting mil-aid update video.
That drone by Larinae looks pretty cool. But a "jet-propelled loitering drone" sounds a bit like an oxymoron to me. 🙂

According to the size of Canadas and Aussie populations they are contributing peanuts. Similar problem for both nations. Big exception for those Can. MRAPS a thousand of them. Aren't they privately donated by a Ukraniancanadian?
Not true at all. Perhaps you are confusing the amount of GDP each spends on their own military compared to how much they are contributing to Ukraine. Canada has consistently been in the top 6-9 contributors to Ukraine in actual dollar amounts, depending on when each country announces new aid. As a Canadian, I understand that my great grandchildren will still be paying off the financial debt Canada has incurred from this war.

Don't underestimate many of these mercenaries that pops up amidst the Russian forces.
There must be thousands of former "freedom fighters" in post-coup, post-insurrection, post civil war states in the Sahel and elsewhere, just itching to get back into any fight and filing their teeth in anticipation of anything to sink their fangs into (not mean as a racial slur, but a general comment on the brutality and depravity that seems an integral part of many wars).
They might be rough and undisciplined, but do know how to fight.
I could watch that fast moving drone all day...but, I do kind of see that living by Luke Airforce base.
Thank you Australia 🇦🇺
I hate seeing mercenary soldiers in the russian army. For one, it helps them, but I'm sure they were lied to and some even forced.
Thanks JP ❤ Oh, the 🖕 spider saying 😂 How .....forget that question

Great Aussie accent mate.

The manic idée fixe required to say that a nation should spend its defense budget on one munition, and then give them to someone else. They’d straightaway lock up the defense minister who suggested that.
Hi JP. Yes I agree, from what I have read, hypersonic missiles are not cost effective (bang for buck literally).
US military satellites have no issue with resolution or coverage, so US military (and presumably UA) will have a firm idea on Soviet stockpiles.
That pissed on their chips. Wine improves with age, the older I get the more I enjoy it. Hard work neve killed anybody but why risk it. Too much hard work can make you sweat. Never take the piss out of dyslexic dwarfs because it's not big and it's not clever.
these aren't bradleys going to Ukraine, they are the newer variants for the us military.

The return of condottiere? Mercenaries might be a good way to go for nations wishing to evade NATO restrictions. A German company could recruit a Polish mercenary Legion etc. Then there is the CIA.
Germany is likely no good example. I don't know the exact laws, but usually everything related to war is strictly forbidden. I.e. being or becoming a mercenary.
Yes slower cruse missiles could be of greater use.
Quotes from Mark Twain cover many subjects, but the one's that are pertinent to now, (1) It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.(2) Get your facts first then you can distort them as you please (Josh Hawley's platform). Of course he references Congress, eating frogs,etc. Check him out.
There are reports that the Russians have been using tanks as artillery support fire at times on some fronts. This shows how far Ukraine has been successful in counter battery fire and is putting russsian tanks in more vulnerable forward positions exposing them to increased drone attacks.
17:35 -
In addition to societal and political benefits from recruiting from abroad, the Russian government will avoid exacerbating other post-war problems - paying out different benefits, caring for large numbers of crippled and maladjusted, etc.
It's more the UWU update news. I have the urge to write OWO.
"Hoovering" up the disadvantaged with jobs? My only issues are fighting for the wrong side and being treated like garbage by Russia. How many people in the Ukrainian army would rather pay higher taxes and go home?
Just did some number crunching. If loss factors are even close, the loss of Russian fighting age males is something like 9 of every thousand. Do the numbers include the foreign and eastern troops? Sounds pretty high to me.
Le arrange rouge !
Hi JP, a little correction. I presume it was unintentional mistake because you read news from different sources so damn quick. 😁Check Republic (now Czechia) and Slovakia are 2 different countries. Czechia’s government is helping Ukraine but not Slovakian at the moment, while Slovakian citizens are raising the money for munitions.
Damn, yes, I got muddled. I very much know that
Really??? Check again! Slovakia 🇸🇰 You said Chekia.
Yeah, I got my knickers in a twist
F a spider? 😂
Why does CZcams keep suggesting a topic "Russian Armed Forces" ? Can someone send Alphabet Inc. a history and geography book.
No doubt the pentagon know exactly how meany vehicles Russia has leftover
Depends on the quality of hypersonic missiles there's russian (and probably Chinese, Iran, NK) hypersonic then there's NATO hypersonic.
And about time Albanese did something. We can afford to do better. As you said Jono, "we're not here to fornicate with arachnids" should be our approach to ukraine aid 😂
I think I know how your kids feel when you do an Oz Accent.. The cringe! 😂😂
I think Slovakia and Czechia be different countries Jonathan. It's the southern state that is cloud funding for the czechian scheme.
Jonathan mixed that up in this sentence because the Slovaks donate for the Czech initiative. He knows this are two independent countries. Mistakes happen when one talks so many news.
