  1. The attack on Pskov and other Russian military air bases echoes comments by Hamish last week with reference to the Special Operations Executive acting in N Africa during WW2 as the fledgling SAS. Harass the enemy and destroy lines of communication, infrastructure and planes. It worked then and is every bit as effective now.

  2. These are excellent podcasts yet only 3.25% of people who listen to them regularly bother to give them a like 👍 That really is the least we can do. Come on Guys, press the like 👍 button to support the channel!

  3. 44:06 😅😅😅… as for the actual point, it is important for Ukraine to hit military targets. Is extremely important to avoid any civilian casualties in the Russian mainland. That will cause, as long it's only military targets, fatigue… But hitting civilians even by accident will cause a backlash that I do not think will benefit Ukraine, and it also might not benefit Russia either… But my main concern is Ukraine

  4. All the people saying Slava Ukraine weren't saying that for the people in the Eastern regions of ukraine who voted for independence when Ukrainian goverment didnt let them and decided to bom them non stop since 2014, can see how double standard the west is with that clown actor zelensky dancing and dressing like a woman

  5. Yes. Russian people cannot do ANYTHING without support, and someone who is supported whom they can believe in.
    Are we going to leave them to it? 143 million people?

  6. ONE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THIS GENERATION IN THE WEST IS THEY HAVE NEVER SEE WAR UP CLOSE. RUSSIA IS A NUCLEAR ARMED NATION AND THE WEST IS PLAYING WITH FIRE. A GLOBAL NUCLEAR WAR WITH EITHER RUSSIA OF CHINA BY THE U.S AND ITS ALLIES IS WORLD WAR 3 AND POSSIBILITY OF THE DESTRUCTION OF ALL LIFE ON EARTH. HYPERSONIC NUCLEAR WEAPONS WILL HIT WESTERN CITIES AND MILLION WILL DIE. POVERTY AND GLOBAL ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION WILL BE HELLISH. EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ PRESIDENT JOHN F KENNEDY SPEECH ON PEACE IN 1963. THE NUCLEAR CLOCK HAS BEEN MOVED TO SECONDS MID NIGHT.

  7. WHAT IS SAD IA THE EGO'S AND THE SELFISH MINDSET IN THE WES IS SO SADISTIC, WORLD WAR 1 EUROPE WORLD WAR 2 EUROPE ON ONCE AGAIN IT IS THE WHITE MAN LEADING US TO GLOBAL DESTRUCTION. THE CAUSE OF THIS WAR IS NATO'S EXPANSION TO RUSSIA'S ORDERS. IIT STARTED 30 YEARS AGO.

  8. The comments on this channel are like an incestuous circle jerk. The only thing left to be determined in this war is the body count (assuming no WW3). The outcome is blindingly obvious. If anyone here is choosing this as their main source of information on this ghastly war – go somewhere else, go to lots of other places. This channel is so pro-war it is nauseating. I swear I can hear glee in his voice, idk maybe it's just the 'positivity'. . .

  9. Wikipedia claims the Russian Air Force has 120 Il-76s. Presumably this number represents Russia's claimed aircraft before the war started. How realistic this number is is anyone's guess. But I think the estimate of 30 is probably closer to the mark than 120.

  10. I just voted, I’ve listened to this podcast since the beginning . It keeps me up to date on what’s happening in areas where I know people who live in Ukraine and where the aid my knitting groups provide goes to.

  11. @The Telegraph crew …G'Day Dom. FYI, according to online info…it was estimated that Russia began 2023 with 119 x Il-76 transport aircraft, though it is not likely that all were/are immediately operational.
    …& we certainly know that at least 4 are definitely not operational. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
    …Cheers fm 🇦🇺

  12. My thoughts and prayers are for Ukraines victory!! God bless Ukraine defenders! Putins regime deserves all the KABOOMs! Hague is waiting for putin; and, those responsible for this horror unleashed on Ukraine.
    Russia trying to sound self-righteous about their attacks, is sickening. I'm so happy to be a part of their defeat…God bless Ukraine.

  13. If only the 3million Germans who invaded Russia, Ukraine, and other parts of the then Soviet Union had drones instead of the Luftwaffe then it would have been snapps in Moscow ans Kiev.

  14. These drone strikes accomplished very, very little . They didn’t effect the battles in Ukraine; didn’t stop the transfer of Russian men and material to Ukraine and the Russian public hardly noticed them.
