  1. You cant compare wagner at this time to wagner is Ukraine. Wagner recieves all types of armaments from the army in ukrainr. From artillery to tanks, powerfull anti air systems, even jets. This is just absurd comparrision to make wagner look less capable than they are

  2. I’m sorry, I think the perspectives are being manipulated to justify hostility towards Russia. I DO NOT support communism neither do I support the fascist state America has become. You’re using propaganda. Great video, you’re doing a great job at putting that narrative out. I disagree with your story but respect your ability to put your message out.

  3. So, what's the story with that "powered-down" Russian anti-air system? Is Alex gonna look a little deeper into that weird little factoid?

    Great story. Great story-telling by Alex Hollings! And amazing and brave American and SDF forces!!! Awesome.

    Just wish Ukraine could get a bit of this kind of air power.

  4. Also, I am still waiting to see any example of success of commie forces against ours. Honestly, I don't even know why we're letting Ukraine bleed-out like this; we need to go in full-bore and rid the land of the bastard invaders. puddin' knows he can't fight us and I would bet alex's life that puddin' wouldn't launch nukes either. And speaking of nukes, seeing what we do on their conventional forces, can we believe that those nuke forces have been properly maintained?

  5. That's what would happen if the US got involved in the Ukraine war, the Russian's would get destroyed from the air with far less ground troops, just send 2 carrier groups, own the air space

  6. This is how you dominate, from the air, Russia would be screwed if the US decided to dominate the skies and ground, they have no defense against modern systems, just old tech!

  7. That had to be the ABSOLUTE BEST SHOW OF FORCE that those SpecOps guys had EVER SEEN. 45 MINS OF AWE INSPIRING MILITARY FORCE AND DOMINATION. I imagine it was like watching a 4th of July fireworks show but turned up to 11.😮😮😮😮

  8. I understand it was supposed to be a light force watching over the facility, but why were there 0 anti tank anything? There was plenty of time to at least get something moving when they noticed a so called training exercise formation (overused Russian BS tactic for decades) watching from the sky.

  9. After the end of the Cold War, the US handed over hundreds of M-60A3 tanks and similar reserve equipment to Greece and Turkey. It was called "cascading."

    We should cascade everything that is due to be replaced in this decade onto Ukraine. All of it. Let it do what it was built to do: kill Ivan.

  10. Although the rescue mission was a success I think the critical point to understand here is that the presence of one, just one, AA radar system delayed the air force until the ground units were almost overrun. 300 meters is practically nothing, any closer and they'd risk hitting their own guys which means the air force engaged either out of desperation, i.e. its now or never, or they waited for confirmation the AA radar was not functioning before engaging.
    In any case had the Russians kept the AA radar turned on we'd probably be talking about a tragedy not a triumph.
    This is the type of detail the Chinese pay attention to.

  11. Hey Alex.
    Now that Netherlands and Denmark are donating F16 Jets to Ukraine, and other countries are most likely to follow.
    Could you try to cover that or try to explain what the consequences would or could be fore the ongoing war in Ukraine.
    Regards Bruno

  12. As usual, very good coverage of the topic Alex. In the other reports I have heard in the past, I don't remember anyone highlighting that PMC Wagner were within 300m. That's very close to be dropping bombs as cover fire. I'm glad our boy are so accurate. Thank as always. I'll be waiting for your next drop.
