  1.  @noone6037  "Do you really think F16s from the 70s will make a difference?". Yes.
    74
  2.  @Samuel-hd3cp  "Banderites". Hah, fool.
    73
  3.  @GusOfTheDorks  Plenty of solid evidence. Lack of ability from you Russian trolls to accept the truth.
    43
  4. The drone attacks are also well done.
    41
  5.  @Zeknif1  Not to mention cutting off the major source of fresh water to Crimea.

  6. ​​​ @maninthestreet01  David is a very poor Analyst, would you say! 😂 Maybe he should drop the "yst" off the end of his name.
    32
  7.  @slyapbg  Actually, the claim that Kyiv would fall in 2-3 days was made by ruSSian media - several times.
    31
  8. ​ @TheYoutubeUser69  I take everything, everywhere, with a grain of salt - and info from Russian sources with two grains (due total unreliablity of most official Russia sources). It is still interesting, and this is one of my favourite channels.

  9.  @heinrichwolfenstein7303  Yup, the ruSSians sure are.
    27
  10.  @k239_chunmoo  Fact is, if Russia hadn't attacked Ukraine, the destruction wouldn't have occurred. Russian keyboard warriors have frequently proven to be not in possession of the facts and very poor in comprehending what's happening.
    27
  11.  @JPPVESA  "Unfortunately for the Ukrainians, the russians keep pushing toward Pokrovsk" and losing thousands of troops every week doing so, whereas Ukraine has taken the same area of land in just three weeks, and for a fraction of the loses. The russian army really is that bad.
    26
  12.  @MadSwede87  Maybe ruSSia was once, but this war shows it certainly isn't a superpower any longer.
    26
  13. ruSSia doesn't know the meaning of the word "negotiate". They are willing to make demands. Ukraine is willing to tell them where to stick their demands. Slava Ukraini.
    24
  14. ​ @ВолковВладимир-ц2и  I won't watch Russian reports. Firstly I don't understand Russian. Secondly, Russian reporting, especially Igor of the MoD, is so totally unreliable that it is irrelevant. What's the point in watching Russian propaganda - I won't learn anything.
    24
  15.  @Sean-n2m  Ukrainians don't use troops for cannon fodder. That is reserved for ruSSian troops. That is why Ukraine is losing "between 100 and 200" troops per day, while ruZZia is losing between 800 & 1100 per day.
    23
  16.  @Lepocoloco  Whose plan was to be in defence for a year? Putin's plan was to take Kyiv in 3 days and all of Ukraine in two weeks - there's no "year" in that plan. Ukraine didn't intend to go to war (it was foisted upon them) - so there's no "year" in that plan either. So please explain what you are talking about.
    23
  17.  @iare19  Wow. You don't consider "mountain people from behind Urals" to be "real ruSSians". Maybe they should have a referendum to leave the ruSSian Federation then - especially as a lot live in areas that are traditionally Chinese or Mongolian. Then they wouldn't get sent to die for rich white ruSSians.
    22
  18.  @vilnis-trash  Yes indeed Swaggers. Each day this channel shows an area where Ukrainians are winning, and therefore where you ruSSians are losing.
    22
  19.  @danmorF  I don't listen to what Zelensky says, I look at the maps and at the men and equipment lost. That's how I know that you are wrong. Ukraine has already recaptured over 30% of the land stolen by ruSSia. But speaking of listening to official sources, it seems you have been listening to (and believing) the ruSSian MoD to write what you wrote. I guess you can't help being duped by ruSSian propaganda.
    20
  20. "and 1000 men have their lives thrown away" per day.
    20
  21.  @ctusser  That worries me too. Hopefully we'll have a Russian collapse before then.
    20
  22. ​ @Eric-ge5vp  Hey Eric, if 20 year old weapons won't win a war you'd better tell Pootin so he can withdraw all his T-62, T-64, T-72 and T-80 tanks from Ukraine. Ask him to send in 500 T-14 Armata tanks instead.
    18
  23.  @senatorjosephmccarthy2720  And the Russian Kinzhal was "unstoppable" - or so they thought (wrongly). Slava Ukraini.
    18
  24. Hey it's not a "stupid war", it's a Stupid Military Operation.
    18
  25.  arlekino1263  Isn't it terrible what Russia is doing to its neighbor. Why don't they just go back to Russia and leave Ukraine alone?
    18
  26.  @samgragas8467  How is ruSSia taking advantage of the failed ruSSian offensive? Ukraine is strengthened.
    17
  27. I don't know why Ukraine didn't fly the drones over Belarus. If it's good enough for Russia to use Belarusian airspace to launch missile attacks on Ukraine, then it's fair enough for Ukraine to use Belarusian airspace to attack Russia (and probably less defended).
    17
  28.  @AstroGremlinAmerican  I agree. There are still small areas of Kharkiv oblast to liberate, along with major parts of Luhansk - and poorly trained Russian troops will make a repeat of last year's gains (over 12,000sq km liberated in that area) so much easier to achieve.
    16
  29. Well done Ukraine. It looks like the ship has fallen against the side of the dock. That will take months to cut up and remove from the dock, as it will likely be impossible to float it out. I can't tell how badly the submarine is damaged, but I'm pleased to hear that two Black Sea Fleet submarines weren't in the Black Sea on 24 February last year, and so are locked out, leaving only five submarines (now four) in the Black Sea.
    16
  30. ​ @dushyantchahal2881  Yes Dushyant, and they were used in the best manner for untrained troops, or should I say untrained cannon fodder. Waves of men to overwhelm the opposition. It's a method that works if you can afford to lose men at a horrendous rate. I don't think Russia could afford to lose them at that rate. But too late now, they're mostly dead.
    16
  31. ​ @freak94able "How many"? Not as many as there are nazis in the Kremlin.
    16
  32.  @zachhan5038  I think you're being unfair to Denys. Sure his videos aren't as good as this channel. He's a Crimean, so he may be familiar with the names of some places in "mainland" Ukraine. Or possibly he has difficulty with Anglicised Ukrainian names, or names that aren't written in Cyrillic. I have no doubt he is Ukrainian.
    16
  33.  @Pisatel1912  Yup, Ukraine is done... done taking carp from ruSSia and will never again submit to being a vassal state.
    16
  34. ​ @OffendingTheOffendable It seems the USSRs military production capability within russia is also degraded.
    16
  35.  @OregonCrow  Actually it was weeks before outside help arrived in any quantity. They lasted the first two weeks on their own - against the second most powerful military in the world. It sucks to be a Russian troll.
    15
  36.  @Billballbill  What cancelled election? Silly Russian troll.
    14
  37.  @timparker4160  You do realise that you have been fooled by russian propaganda. russia is NOT winning this war. The Ukrainian army brought the russian army to a halt over a year ago, and the russian army has not taken any Ukrainian land since. The ukrainian army over that period, has liberated well over 18,000 sq km. So where and how is russia winning? You russian trolls are hilarious.
    14
  38.  @dougaltolan3017  And it keeps them off the streets (and off the battlefields).
    14
  39.  @vilnis-trash  Why would he? There's no rule to say he can't pick which battles he wants to analyse. If you don't like his content, go elsewhere. We won't miss you.
    14
  40.  @seasoninorder3695  We're not fooled by ruSSian dis-information.
    14
  41.  @tretortugas  Military Summary is not balanced. They are pro-Russian. They constantly quote Russian MoD figures (an extremely unreliable source) but seldom quote official Ukrainian sources (not that they are reliable either).
    13
  42. ​ @danielrisk5731 Wrong. This report didn't say how many Ukrainian casualties there were. Maybe there weren't any, but this report never claimed that. You're just making it up.
    13
  43.  @ahndeux  Rubbish. The US gives some good stuff. But a lot of old gear, due to be scrapped, is given to Ukraine and accounted at full value - when scrap value is more appropriate. This finances (indirectly) the purchase of new equipment for the US military. Secondly, it is a good investment, as a Ukrainian victory is necessary to avoid much higher costs later. A ruSSian victory in Ukraine will result in the strengthening of ruSSia. They will use Ukrainian people to attack the next country in line (as they currently use the people of the Donbas to attack Ukraine). As the strength of ruSSia increases, and the strength of the west diminishes with each ruSSian conquest, the cost to the US to defend itself and the west increases. Stop bitching about the cost of this war - it is insignificant to the economy of the US - pay your damned taxes, and be grateful it's not US citizens dying on the frontlines (yet).

  44. ​ @louismonnier4793  I think that 18 F-16s, whereas Australia has ~41 surplus F-18s.
    13
  45.  @filippogaudio3433  As Brian says, russia took 6+ months to take the same amount of land as Ukraine has taken in 3 weeks. The russia army really is that bad.
    13
  46.  @no-bodymr6419  I don't think ruSSia will "come back". The population (only half of that of the Soviet Union) is too small for the grandious aims of people like Putin. It will be unable to support the massive costs of infrastructure in what is the world's largest country (by land mass), coupled with the costs of supporting the "second most powerful" military in the world. It's GDP is smaller than many countries with half the population. I think what we are seeing are the desperate final throws of a dying power. At best, ruSSia is just China's underling.

  47. "and that the UKR have underestimated the RU army". I guess those newspapers are wrong then. The UKR expected to be fighting a guerilla war in an occupied Ukraine, but have done considerably better than that scenario. I think it would be fair to say that the UKR initially OVERestimated the RU army - as did the rest of us. Slava Ukraini.
    12
  48.  @Imperial_loyalist  You DO need his hysterical laughter.
    12
  49.  @georgelugenalt200  ruZZia is also in deep trouble - and keeps getting deeper.
    12
  50. ​ @Eric-ge5vp  "those migs will be lucky to get a shot off" - so how are those Mig 29s inferior to Ukraine's existing Mig 29s that get shots off regularly? I think you've been sniffing at the Russian propaganda machine again buddy.
