Comments by "" (@yellowtunes2756) on "I agree with Artur Rehi, but Russian mobilization is a game changer" video.

@allydea Russia fires 75k shells per day compared to 35k shells that NATO supplies to Ukraine in entire month. Considering that part of those 300k will be delivering supplies - i doubt that they will have any problems Some soldiers need less training than others. Big part of those 300k are people who served in "contract army" (war is their career), but they cancelled their contracts shortly after war in Ukraine started. So they don't need much additional training I'm Russian and i can assure you that 95% of people who stayed in Russia have the same opinion: "I don't want to fight, but if my country calls me - i will do it with no questions". So "against their will" is too strong of the word. And it's the same for Ukrainians And btw about salary, they all can still go to Wagner for loads of money. Even if Russian army called them already.

@johnparker8509 everything you said about Russian artillery can be said about Ukraine too. The difference is - Russia can repair everything right on Russian border in the east where nothing can hit it, while Ukraine has to send everything to Poland and Germany "Russia doesn't have mechanics or replacement barrels" - so you're saying that country that has more artillery than entire NATO and is second biggest weaponry exporter in the world doesn't have spare parts? You're delusional Russia still has more artillery than entire NATO. They won't run out of artillery before Ukraine, what are you on about ? Russia also has Himars analogues with more rockets and the same range, like tornado s or smerch. And tons of missiles with far better range than himars like Iskander, kinzjal or kalibr

@ravenblood1954 if you goole "how many shells Russia fires per day" - you will see sources saying that they're fighting 40-60k per day Ukraine has himars, Russia has tornado s and smerch with the same range and more rockets, but also iskander, kinzjal and kalibr with far better range. Also Russian mod reporting dozens or destroyed ammo depots and concentration of Ukrainian forces daily all over Ukraine. Of course Ukraine will strike important targets too, but Russia does the same a lot more Everyone admits that Ukraine has 5-8 times more men than Russia everywhre they attack. It's not hard to gain land in places with little to no enemies. Russia captured territory comparable to great Britain in first few days for that exact reason. And in last 6 months Russia wasn't actively trying to get more land, they were just dealing damage Ukraine did gained loads of land, but can they continue when Russia brings like 4 times more troops to the frontline than they currently have? In last month they lost more tanks and armoured vehicles than they received from NATO since war started. Temporary gains after bold pushes aren't always good. Have you forgotten about Russia's offensive on Kiev in first days of war?
3
@ravenblood1954 because for every entrenched and well defended tank position Russia has - there's 10km of open fields with no soldiers at all. So if you simply send 40 trucks behind Russian troops, 10 of trucks are destroyed due to Russian artillery - Russian tanks still have to fall back to not get encircled. 300 troops needed to fill the gaps. Why are you typing "xD"? Where exactly my logic is lacking? With what statement you disagree?

@ThisPartIsAndrew i also don't know any Ukranian soldiers who has returned from the war. That's a dumb question Son of Prigizhin (billionaire who founded Wagner) is fighting there. Highly likely Wagner receiving money from other billionaires who's close to Putin too. It's better to pay them, than keep soldiers in Russian army and talk to people about Russian losses
2
@avel2863 what Russian equipment is worse than Ukrainian on the battlefield? Himars isn't better than smerch or Tornado s and far worse than Iskander. Pzh 2000 isn't better than koalitsya, but koalitsya operated by less and more experienced soldiers. I guess the only thing Russia doesn't have analogue for is bayraktar, but they had no problems destroying it. So what equipment are you talking about?
2
@ThisPartIsAndrew no clue who's that. I also googled and found out that one of the Wagner mercs came back to Russia and had a fight with rosgvardia (also some military members), the only reason why there's info about him - because he got in the news, surely he wasn't the only one who got his paycheck. And you know about Starsky only because he has a yt channel. So yeah, it's a dumb question, because you only find out about soldiers returned to home because they are famous or infamous, you won't read about some random Vasily who came back a bought a new car without him getting in the news

@Apollo-tj1vm if you're a general, it doesn't mean you're smart, not saying something only for money or not saying something because you want to believe in your words

@desj2584 last time NATO sent guided missiles was 2 months ago and they sent only 1000 of them. I guess they mostly used to destroy ammo depots and infrastructure When soldiers are pushing in open fields - it's infinitely better to fire 20 dumb rockets in area where those soldiers are and kill 10 people, than fire 1 precise rocket and kill 1 unlucky dude. Also Russia has plenty of precise artillery and long range missiles. But yes, majority of Russian and Ukranian rockets aren't precise and meant to damage big area. Why do you think that like a 100 of decent artillery pieces Ukraine received from NATO are majority of their artillery pieces if they had thousands of them before start of the war?
2
@ThisPartIsAndrew actually no idea who would win. Last time USA fought someone better than farmers with AK was Vietnam and we know how it ended. It's also interesting that every American piece of equipment and soldier costs more money, than Russian equipment and soldiers, because weaponry companies in Russia belong to Russia and aren't making prices 5 times than they should be (according to Lockheed spendings and earnings). So if USA wastes 1 billion for an army - its gonna be as well equipped as 200m worth Russian army Well, i gave you an example of Wagner member who returned to Russia. What's your point again?
2
@who-sq5kr so USA just lost 60k (or whatever the number is) soldiers in Vietnam because they were scared of USSR? I was talking about price for similar equipment. As i said, Lockheed makes 4 times more money than it spends. So in reality USA pays 5 times more than they could have if Lockheed belong to government. So if, for example, Lockheed made rifle that costs 5k $ for USA to buy - Russia would pay 600 $ for the same rifle to make, because industry that makes this rifle in Russia belongs to government and Russian workers paid a lot less. You're saying that Russia is a corrupt country, which is true. But for USA it's called lobbying

@dylanc9174 Russia fires 70k shells per day, compared to 35k entire NATO sends them in a month. Their logistics is fine. Btw, Russia also shoots at Ukranian logistics and destroys dozen of ammo depots daily. Everything you said about Russia can be applied to Ukraine but for them it's far worse Russia doesn't have a lot of troops. In Kharkov Ukraine had 8 to 1 advantage according to some sources. And also huge advantage in the north of Kherson recently. If Russia supplies 100 people, 20 tanks and 10 artillery pieces in some part of the front, but Ukraine sends 500 dudes in vehicles to go around them in places completely free of Russian soldiers - those 100 people in tanks can't do anything except for retreating. It doesn't mean that they suffered huge losses and lost the fight, it just means that they had to retreat to not suffer huge losses after some time. Also Ukraine did the same thing at the start of the offensive few weeks ago, they captured big chunk of land in the North of Kherson and around Davidov Brod, suffered huge losses and retreated And when it comes to Russian gains - it was clear that they aren't trying to capture territory fast since week 2 Right now Ukraine looses a lot more men and equipment than NATO sends them. They are weaker than they were at the start of the war. It's just not hard to send people to charge in places where Russians barely have troops. I mean, Russia did the same in first days of war and captured territorial equivalent of Great Britain
2
@V-V1875-h many people want extra weapons, gear and medicine, of course they gonna buy new stuff. Just like Americans are buying guns, it doesn't mean that their army is lacking something
2
@ravenblood1954 why do you think they can't supply their troops if they fire 60k shells per day? Compare it to 30k NATO sends to Ukraine in a month. If that isn't good enough logistics for you, then what is?
2
@ravenblood1954 Russia isn't taking heavy casualties because they mostly sitting in tanks and artillery while DNR, LNR and Wagner are doing heavy lifting. Mobilisation shows that many contract soldiers who were fighting in Ukraine got their paychecks, finished their contacts and came back to Russia. They do in fact have a lot less soldiers than at the start of the war, but it doesn't mean that they have lost many people due. Especially since they weren't baldly pushing like they did at the start of the war
2
@bruhmoment-bo1mb in last 3 months NATO sent 1500 guided ammo, everything else Ukraine had or gets - is regular artillery ammo Russia mostly uses Russia also has guided ammo and high precision artillery and rockets like tornado s, Iskander, kalibr, kinzjal, koalitsya etc And no, in most of the cases artillery that hits huge area is better than high precision one. If enemies are going through open field, would you prefer to kill 1 dude with high precision artillery like m777 or 20 dudes with something like smerch, grad or solncepek?
1
@kirkpatrick7475 funny how you said that quality better than quantity, while Ukraine is winning in 2 regions because they simply outnumber Russia 8 to 1. According to Washington post and their interview with Ukrainian soldiers about Kherson offensive - Ukraine is loosing 5 times more soldiers than Russia (since Ukrainian soldier said it - in reality ratio is probably even worse). Human wave tactic is effective, but too costly. Also Germany in 1945 grabbed huge chunk of land because of their counter attacks, doubt it was worth it Btw, what NATO equipment Ukraine uses doesn't have superior Russian analogue?

@Apollo-tj1vm wars are meant to be fought without bridges. Some Russian pontoon ferries can deliver up to 360 tons of goods. And Russia has thousands of them
1
@The_Crazy_Monkey75 because last 6 months were peaceful time for Russia and any soldier could have cancelled his contact at any time. Many trained soldiers got their paycheck and left. That's why mobilization was necessary. Not sure how could have Russia lost many soldiers because since week 3 they were bombing Ukrainians from far away with artillery, while using DNR forces and Wagner to hold the frontline or attack Ukrainians
1
@Apollo-tj1vm ferries are cheap to make and repair, especially since nothing Ukraine has can hit moving targets
1
@Apollo-tj1vm pontoon ferry is made of small metal blocks with air inside. Himars rockets makes a hole which can be repaired by placing metal sheet on top of it. Not a big deal. Also those ferries can deliver full trucks, it takes like 2 minutes for them to drive off such ferry
1
@The_Crazy_Monkey75 what shortages? Russia still fires 60k shells per day. What exactly Russians troops are lacking, other than more troops? You can't "deny" someone's leaving from contract army (before Putin started mobilization). Every soldier can go to their commander, say "im leaving", sign some papers and walk away freely. And mobilization needed to stop such things from happening Ukraine had more artillery than majority of EU at the start of the war. According to Ukranian deputy of minister of defence - Ukraine lost 50% of their heavy equipment like 3 months. And since lately NATO sends like 10 howitzers a month, while previously they were sending hundreds of tanks - Ukraine has a lot less artillery than they had at the start of the war All sides agree that Russia outnumberes Ukraine in artillery 15 to 1 or so. And Ukrainians are being shelled a lot more than Russian troops, especially since they were rarely in the frontline, mostly shooting artillery, while Wagner and DNR were fighting and sitting in trenches
1
@MtnMig What do you mean by universal values? Do you believe that people should decide future of the land they are living in? That's what people of Donbas wanted and i don't mind helping them achieving it It's not about patriotism. I hate Putin and i don't want my country to attack other countries. I want Russia to leave Ukraine alone, just like i want Ukraine to leave alone Donbas. And i know that no-one gonna stop this war and people won't stop dying until someone will get defeated. And since Putin won't stop, while NATO gives Ukraine way too little - fighting for Russia is the fastest way to free people of Donbas and stop the war

@V-V1875-h if some people want better armour - they can buy better armour. What's your point again? If someone haven't received armour yet - it doesn't meat that he won't receive it later
1
@V-V1875-h if they haven't received something now - it doesn't mean that they won't receive it later The real issue, that cannot be fixed by waiting until truck full of armour from far away storage arrives, is lack of sleeping bags. Especially the ones that can be used in -30
1
@V-V1875-h i just don't think that Russia lacks any simple war equipment, since they were building this stuff up since USSR in huge quantities. But when it comes to stuff that regular army doesn't use in daily life (like sleeping bags, medicine, boots of certain size) then it becomes an issue. Same thing goes for Ukraine. Winter will tell who's better equipped
1
How did you conclude that Russia didn't had a logistics? They fire 75k shells per day, compared to 35k shells entirely NATO sends to Ukraine in a MONTH. If that's not good enough for you, what would you consider "good logistics"? How many tons of ammo fired per day would you consider "good enough" in your book? Or you're still talking about first week of war when Russia went balls deep in Ukraine and captured equivalent of Great Britain within days?
1
@alexa7736 as i said, they had problems in the first week because they captured shit loads of land within days. Also big part of their forces went through Belarus, so it was extra pain in the ass But their supply problems in first few days of war have nothing to do with their current supplies. So when they send more people to the front - they will simply send more trucks to well known roads
1
@alexa7736 i mean, they already know where their troops are, they know the roads, those roads are secure from sabotage groups, they know where to hide ammo etc. They just need more men and more trucks, shouldn't be an issue In first few weeks many Ukrainian reckon groups were shooting trucks, Russia in the North was stuck in forested area that benefits such groups, some forces made a wrong turn somewhere, some soldiers had broken vehicles and no way to call someone for help, because other soldiers from their group had to move to capture new objective fast etc. Russia doesn't have those problems anymore
1
@bekeneel why do you think that Russia has bad logistics? 250 jets according to Ukranian propaganda. You may as well believe Russian numbers of destroyed planes and killed troops Ukranian air defence isn't getting better. Nasams is worse than c300 Ukraine had at the start of the war. What exactly are you talking about? And how can they lack weapons if they have more artillery than entire NATO, while their repair centers are right on Russian border, while Ukraine has to send their equipment to Poland 1000 of km away from frontline? Extra trench with 100 people with some anti tank weapons can put a good fight against Ukrainians with armoured trucks. And it's exponentially better than not having those 100 guys in a trench at all, cos currently Ukraine can just send people on trucks in places where Russian army doesn't have any troops
1
@pranasvaicaitis42 6000 losses for Russian army is reasonable. They aren't counting DNR and LNR forces, they also aren't counting Wagner. Majority of Russian forces either sitting in tanks or artillery, rarely doing the pushing themselves. I mean, in last 6 months they were bombing Ukrainians from far away, while sending Donbas conscripts to the frontline. Why would Russia itself loose a lot more people than they stated?
1
@johnbrinsmead3316 Chechens and all of Caucasus region is very pro Russian and pro Putin. Why would they revolt? To be stuck between Russia and Georgia who hates them while Russia controls the sea?
1
@ravenblood1954 i mean, in Kherson lately they pushed through 1 or 2 villages and moved along with Dnepr river with no resistance (because there were no Russian troops), which forced Russians on the left flank to fall back to not get encircled And in Kharkov it was a huge forested area where Russians couldn't defend from reckon groups due to lack of men. That's why they left Izym with no fighting at all. In Lyman, for example, they destroyed many Ukrainian attacks, but had to fall back after Ukraine pushed through the forest in the South which was close to last safe supply road. If Russia had troops to guard this forest - it wouldn't be so easy for Ukraine It's all about raw numbers of Ukrainians on trucks who can move behind Russian troops
1
@ravenblood1954 I'm indeed explaining how Ukraine is winning. And I'm saying that it's happening because Russia doesn't have enough troops to guard 1000km frontline at the moment. If you're moving fast - artillery can't really hit you. And when you captured a village where you will stay for a night or you stopped because your front vehicle got destroyed by a mine - that's when artillery strikes. There are dozens of pictures and videos of destroyed Ukrainian convoys, dozens of tanks and vehicles. Especially in Kherson, where Ukraine captured like 10 villages few weeks ago by pushing through the river, then got decimated by artillery and fell back to the village and forest right next to the river. Same thing is happening right now. If they pushed through one line of Russian defence on the right side (let's take Kherson as an example) - they can move deep in Russian territories with no resistance, left side of Russian front has to fall back, then Ukrainian stops, then artillery shoots at them, if damage wasn't significant enough - they can try to push again
1
@pranasvaicaitis42 tanks are good at pushing, but there's no reason to use them if you don't have people to guard territories later if by "100k" you mean numbers about dead/injured Ukrainian troops, then yeah, Shoigu said that. Or what are you talking exactly? I doubt this number is right, because there's no way of knowing how many enemies you have killed Russia had 150k soldiers in total around Ukrainian borders, according to pentagon. Big part of them are in logistical team. Also rotation does exist In first few weeks Russia was pushing and lost 1500 or so in first few weeks, then they retreated and pushed slowly, then they stopped pushing and sent DNR and LNR conscripts to the frontline. And since beginning of the summer they were barely using their troops for anything other than defence "Russian mobies are already in the front" - according to Ukranian propaganda. I doubt it's even logistically possible to give someone a letter from army, wait for new soldiers to arrive, sent him in army, give him uniform, assign him to certain war zone and send him there. Considering how big Russia is
1
@pranasvaicaitis42 Ukraine was only resisting in north of kiev and Mariupol, Ukraine was blowing up tanks around kiev with small reckon groups, there was no big fights. And in Mariupol azov battalion quickly went inside the bunker, so there also wasn't much fighting. There's a news from Washington Post with interview of Ukranian soldier who said that everyone of his 120 people group was injured or killed. So yeah, when you're attacking in open fields against with 20 to 1 artillery disadvantage - you will loose a lot more soldiers than Russia from reckon groups in first weeks of war What videos of mobies going to the front?
1
@apeinto5637 Well, those are different forces. Tho DNR and LNR post their losses regularly
1
@pranasvaicaitis42 average killed/wounded ratio is 1 to 4. So either he's lying about his dead comrades, or they are extremely lucky. That's why i said "dead and wounded" In march 1 Mariupol got surrounded and Russian started bombing it, later DNR forces started fighting on streets. So again, Russia wasn't loosing much My bad about 20 to 1, it's actually 20 to 3, according to same Washington post news article. Brain fart Indeed, certain regions got problems with mobilization and those problems are getting fixed. I believe that same group of soldiers in the end that was told to be sent to Kherson, is protesting as we speak, because they are sitting on the train with weapons and their retarded officers are sending this train back and forth without training them, paying them or feeding them. Every time Russian war journalist talking about such things - problem is being fixed pretty fast, just like with majority of the videos you linked. Except for sleeping bags that can be used in -30, that's still an issue
