  1. So Ukrainians can do the same to Russia ….Why do we think this is a War 9000 miles away like Iraq …. it is on the Border and with a Proper Army …

  2. I believe this was one of the best episodes. But do me a favour about how we call the drones that fly into targets. Kamikaze is so sensitive for the Japanese? The poor kamikaze pilots were forced to do it? Rewriting history. The Japanese were completely focused on defending their homeland. I have no patience when it comes to the Japanese and WW2. The only nukes used were in Japan. Probably the Americans regret that now, but at that time, those Japanese were feared fighters, to the last bullet. I don’t believe they tied pilots in the planes.

  3. The best term is kamikaze drone. That brings to mind exactly what it is. I've heard this argument multiple times over the last month, and every counter argument is insufferably pedantic and preachy.

  4. What Europe did to Africans who resisted colonialism is worse than what Russia has done to Ukraine so far. Britain castrated Kenyans for resisting colonialism. We must always remember that. Africans are humans too, they are not animals. They feel pain.

  5. Умирать за Путина, так что очень грустно. Из всех грустных слов, написанных языком или пером, нет ничего печальнее, чем слова о том, что могло бы быть.

  6. To the big question; why have the Americans not supplied Ukraine with the Cold War/East Europe anti Warsaw Pact anti-tank aircraft ; the A10 'Warthog' which was specifically developed for countering Soviet tanks and mobile infantry advances ???
    They have a lot of these sitting in the desert plane store, I guess. Were they too vulnerable to modern missiles or sumpin' ???
    I bet the Ukrainian pilots would love to use them on Russian armour !

  7. Yes, lets not insult the Japanese by calling a drone "kamikaze". The poor Japanese have suffered so much after taking complete responsibility for their actions in second world war.

  8. Absolutely an outstanding military analysis of the air warfare in Ucraine!!!!!!!!! The best podcast about the early days of the invasion as well about what's going on right now!!!!! A lot of thanks to the " The Telegraph" , the reporters and the experts are doing a great job; it is extremely important to understand the details of the warfare and what Ucraine needs in order to push the Russian army out of their country.

  9. Justin Bronk provides a very useful antidote to any ideas that Ukraine has got the Russians on the run. If the West doesn't do what he suggests or if the Republican controlled Congress goes soft on support for Ukraine, the Russians can still win.

  10. The difficulties of AIR DEFENSE against Russian aircraft and rockets needs to be worked out as a priority. Ukraine is a perfect test bed . If an AIR DEFENSE system can be successful in Ukraine it can be successful over London, Paris or Berlin. This war is possibly the opening of a much wider conflict. Iran is bound to be targetted sooner or later. If it works in Ukraine we will know if we also CAN DEFEND OURSELVES ….or NOT .

  11. Mental western countries.
    Eastern street people took possession of english people's reserves and administration powers, also these immigrants speedy to strip english people's costly aprons.
    But, these stupid english people shedding their own blood and ruining their own energy at Soviet border.

  12. Real estate signs made from coroplast is insulating and versatile easy with zip lock ties to make spaces insulated. Also what are the wool producing nations doing and wood burners can be donated?
