  1. Uh huh. And the Ghost of Kiev will return to wipe out the Russian air force again?

  2. Uh, Ukraine is the most powerful military in Europe, which NATO had invested in for 8 years. This is a war between the #1 and #2 militaries. Ukraine is not 3rd rate. The Russians have shown tremendous competence in their 7-1 kill ratio.

  3. Untrue. Russia has the ability to manufacture large quantities of missiles, while Ukraine does not. And it take 2 missiles to intercept 1, so Ukraine burns through twice as many.

  4. Well, they won’t need any anti air missiles if Russians are only fighting with shovels and washing machines?

  5.  @bearsausage8599  still can’t stop a Kinzhal.

  6. How had Russia been incompetent? What internal strife? What low morale? How are you quantifying these things?

  7.  @markcreemore4915  in fact, the ineffectiveness of the sanctions is likely what gave BRICS confidence to start their de-dollarization initiative.

  8. If Ukraine hopes to match the missiles Russia fires to destroy all their cities, Ukraine will run out. Ukraine does not have the means to manufacture more, unlike Russia.

  9. How is that possible? Russia has the ability to mass produce them, while Ukraine does not.

  10. Did you not watch the video? It’s because Ukraine inherited a formidable soviet air defense. America never had to crack anything like it. Which is why they won’t be donating any F-16s.

  11. He doesn’t seem to realize that the US never engages in a war where it doesn’t have air superiority from the start. America has never had to fight against a solid air defense.

  12.  @djanitatiana  if you watch the video, it’s because Ukraine inherited a formidable Soviet air defense which takes time for Russia to dismantle. And if Russia’s air power is so bad, then why doesn’t the Ukrainian Air Force take advantage of it and soar over Moscow with their Ghost of Kiev? And if Ukraine had so many tanks, then why are they begging the West for more tanks? Why haven’t they marched into Moscow by now? The US has never faced a near-peer and only chooses wars where they have air superiority. And they still lose.

  13. Where is your evidence they have plenty of missiles? And if the West had enough, then why are they going around the world begging for them?

  14. It’s too late and too expensive. Where are you going to get all those pilots and maintenance tail? There’s a reason NATO is hesitant to send any air assets to their proxy.

  15. Cuz each Patriot system costs like, $1 billion each?

  16. Russia has the capacity to keep producing the missiles in large quantities. Ukraine and the West do not.

  17. So Ukraine has an infinite supply of anti-air missiles?

  18. This is the hard truth western propagandists ignore. They think printed debt can buy anything, but these missiles cannot be mailed by Amazon Prime.

  19.  @Justanotherconsumer  no Russian said they’d win it in days. All that talk was from western “experts.”

  20. No, they’ll just leave them out to the wolves like in Afghanistan.

  21. Russians have been using hundreds of other weapons. Ukraine didn’t run out of anti-air munitions for fun.
