  3. Interesting to see new kremlin notes in the comments saying there is no proof of NK troops and its just "ukro propaganda"

  7. Really interesting. I was wrong about the state of the defending force, I thought the pipeline attack didn't work at all. I want to see another video with your opinion on the whole attack and wether it was worth it. I know conclusions are hard, but maybe just point out what was the situation and when it was favourable to one or the other side (when they had drones watching their supply lines or when the artillery could and did hit the reinforcements, etc)

  10. Everyone has seen them except for the Russians that want to stay in their fantasy world and intentionally close their eyes so their feelings don't get hurt.

  12. People that are still asking for "proof" for NK troops in Kursk behaving like people that are asking for proof that the earth is round and moon landing(s) are real.

  14. Hi Mark - my name is Michael. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I have a tactical/operational question for you: At this time stamp: 05:06 https://youtu.be/0yLqJqP8ybo?t=306 You state the following: "...If you want to achieve (military) Victory you still have to force your will on your enemy. In the conventional armed conflicts It can only be done by attacking the enemy". Are you absolutly sure, that the only way to force your will on your enemy - in the conventional armed combat - is to attack the enemy?

  15. a wonderful channel, I think it would be interesting for everyone to see your opinion on the reasons for the defeat of the Ukrainian army during the counteroffensive in 2023.

  18. Another great video!. Your channel is the best for explaining the battles in Ukraine. I wonder how hard it would be to build a new supply route through the fields. Apart from sourcing materials, the Russians would have to contend with drones, artillery and not being able to hide their activities.

  19. After all we can say one thing for certain, ukranians staying in is a pure political decision. Lossing even more man for maintaning face. Bad command

  22. Good analysis. But I think we're seeing the result of ukraine not having any reserve left with which to handle critical situations along the front. What we're seeing is Russia putting pressure along the front, then Ukraine redirects troops from other parts to the most 'critical' part of the front after which Russia simply begin advancing in the places Ukraine recently depleted of frontline troops. Imo thats probably why we're seeing the ukrainians routing in Kursk. I assume that some of the veterans from here was sent to Pokrovsk to halt the Russians .. So now the russians are pushing in Kursk with a lot of success.

  25. These videos are an absolute breath of fresh air from the usual low quality propaganda "analysis" we see in this war. I would be particularly interested to see videos from you about: 1. Battle of Kiev 2. 2023 summer offensive Thanks for your work.

  32. I am from Udachne, there is no information that the Russians have gone deep into it as indicated on your map, they are dying in the vicinity near the eastern entrance near the VPS 1 mine

  33. the pipeline was active till last year, since Hungary, Slovakia and Austria never stopped buying russian gas and oil… Only when the official contract expired, the pipeline stopped being used. The ukrainians probably forgot it in that fog of war. Also the russians never exited at an obvious exit. As in Avdiivka, I suppose they used either a hole made during a battle or made by themselves. So blocking an obvious end is not the solution.

  39. A fast way to lose a war is to lie to yourself. The Russians turned what should have been a quick war into a bloody slog by lying to themselves about the Ukrainian will to fight. Had Russia taken the war seriously from the outset, mobilized 300-400,000 reservists to fill out the infantry squads before their initial invasion they likely would have won the war by the Summer or Fall of 2022. Likewise the Ukrainians, or more accurately their Western backers, lied to themselves about Russian defensive prowess and capacity for force regeneration and wasted any chance for Ukraine to reclaim her 1991 borders by hopelessly pursuing a counter-offensive in Summer 2023 against the most prepared and fortified positions of the Russians in Zaporizhia, believing that the Russians would just give way and fold as they had in Kherson and Kharkov. That counter-offensive cost not only mountains of equipment but irreplaceable experienced personnel, especially infantry, whose absence has been sorely felt the last year and a half. Now both sides are in a slugging match trying to force each other into exhaustion to get the best negotiating position. The Ukrainians are doing this by inflicting damage on the Russian oil and gas sector that funds the war(and the leadership's lifestyle) and inflicting more losses of men and equipment than the Russians can replace. Meanwhile the Russians are using their strategic bombing campaign against Ukraine's energy infrastructure to both degrade their productive capacity and render Ukrainian statehood untenable, with the secondary goal being a cascade collapse of the Ukrainian line as soldiers dessert in order to look after loved ones. With this in mind the Ukrainian leadership is lying to itself if they think Kursk gives them a better negotiating position. What would have been a better use of the elite and mobile brigades devoted to Kursk would be to use them as a counterattacking force, to plug up breaches in the Ukrainian line, forcing the Russians to mount more costly assaults to gain less ground. As the way Ukraine achieves a favorable outcome is Russia exhausting her available reserves of men and equipment as the regime is unwilling to risk future Russian security and regime survival by eroding her economic and demographic foundations. If Moscow doesn't believe it can make progress they will cut their losses and try again in ten years. That's probably the best Ukraine can hope for now.

  42. Thank you for your support and a pleasant surprise, considering it's from Hungarian. We only get to see the political movements of Hungary. Naturally they do not reflect the view of every citizen, but there's just not much of anything else out there. You're the first voice from that direction I've met. ✌

  43. This channel is going to blow up very soon. Keep up the good work. Are you planning to go to other battles from the past, say Avdivka for example?

  44. I love the bots that got triggered by the activation phrase "russian meat wave attack" and that spam something about meatwaves attacks not being real and yoi being a western shill.... under a video where you debunk meat wave attacks.

  45. Nobody who didn't live in Eastern Europe understands how deeply rooted socialism is. The worst part about socialism is that it actually worked for a time... Thank you very much for the video.

  46. This "balance shifting" has been a staple of Russian and Soviet warfare for over a century but the West is still not catching up.
