  1. Ukraine needs to protect her sky, that’s her main vulnerability and why Putin think he will win🤔 we need to cover Ukraine skies and develop good air fleet

    1. @Gregory Dawson good idea, but the thing is hypersonic missiles are too fast for the Sam it’s the latest 21st-century rocket

    2. actually the sky is the lesser problem. according to the US officials ukr main problem are artillery shells. Ukr fire 40.000 a month, rus fire 20.000 a day. US plans to ramp up prod from 15.000 a month to 90.000 a month in two years, rus is currently producing 500.000 a month and ramping up.

    1. @Chad You hear what you want always,no!? because I was talking about how a god or religion will support people who since 8 years of civil war were kiling his own citizens for cultural ties to another country like nazis do??

  2. Can’t imagine living in a society where human life means so little…..and then accepting that….that’s Russia for you

    1. @Clik Clack  Old good guy Stalin murdered more than 10 million of his own people. Robbed the farmers of Russia after murdering them, too, for their land.

      He thought Russia would benefit from his evil actions. God said, “Not so. Thus, He stepped back and allowed man’s greatest enemy (Satan) to bring a famine that slaughtered over 10 million more souls.

      Russia was built on the blood of murdering their own.

      Yea, Stalin sowed a terrible seed and reaped the Whirlwind afterward.

    2. @Rtiomas I know that the russian people have been living under the boot of this twitchy little mass murderer for way to long. He thought that this war would be won in a matter of weeks, with soldiers taking their dress uniforms with them, expecting that they would be marching in a victory parade through the streets of Kiev. Now as a result of his miss calculation tens of thousands of young russian men have been killed along with as many Ukrainians murdered. So now tens of thousands more russian men have to be thrown in this meat grinder of a pointless war to save his pride.

    3. @Jimmie Smith he was very evil indeed that’s what happens when man gets rid of god in society the same thing happened with Nazi Germany. But that has nothing to do with this war.

    4. @Clik Clack 

      I observed all wars based on the circumstances pertaining to how it all began

      This one fact is not disputable: Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine didn’t invade Russia. Russia will reap what it has sown in due time. That fact is written in Divine Ink. ¹

  3. We now at stage 2 of war. Intense and fiery. One would’ve guessed that by now people would’ve stopped fighting.

    1. Ukraine giving up would just encourage Putin. He wants all of Ukraine, he’s not going to stop. He’ll take years if necessary. Watch Terminator to get an idea.

  4. Now just imagine if Ukraine had modern fighter helicopters like Apache and some extra long range missiles. I am telling you that Wagner would run back to Moscow NAKED!!

    1. @M H.G. In 2021 an Australian company found a huge Lithium deposit that runs half of the eastern Ukraine. When this first started that’s what I thought Putin was after.

    2. Hey 🇺🇦 got a helicopter at the a bove we can at U…. Very transparent and is so people can actively participate in much needed stuff directly used in Ukraine. Tell everybody!

  5. I can’t imagine how those people feel your life was normal one day before you know it bombs and missiles are becoming a part of your everyday life it’s crazy how life turned out for these people🤔

    1. @Michael A Wanting to be included within NATO and acquiring weaponry of mass destruction with only 5 minutes flight to major Russian cities.

      Oops, I guess CNN, MSNBC and Western media forgot that little part.

    2. And I can’t imagine how the people of Iraq, Libya and Syria felt the day before the US “brought democracy” to them!

    3. And the residents of Donbass could not imagine that after the signing of the Minsk agreements (the guarantors of which were Western countries) they and their children will die under Ukrainian shelling..

    4. @Michael A The Russian-Ukrainian border is 1200 kilometers + the border of Belarus (part of the union state with Russia) – Ukraine 1000 kilometers + distance from Ukraine to Moscow 700 kilometers (supersonic rocket flies for several minutes) + constant rocking of the situation inside Russia with the help of agents of influence (from the US + UK Special Services), etc., etc., Given that Ukraine is not an independent state, NATO in Ukraine is “loaded pistols put to the head (of Russia), from a cowboy mad with impunity”.

  6. When a “world leader” or whatever “leader” dies in this world, a spark of hope lights up on this universe.

  7. Need to give Ukraine the means to destroy the platforms from which these missiles are launched, whether they are launched from air (Tu-95 or Tu-22M) or sea (submarines or ships). Much harder to intercept the missiles after they have been launched.

  8. We are with you Kyiv all the way to the end, please the West USA send the necessary weapons urgently needed to Ukraine the quicker this war is over the better for Ukraine to get back to normal life. Glory to Ukraine.

    1. Шлите больше оружия,, возможно и вам пришлют подарок от России. Или вы думаете, что сидите на мягком диване и вас это не коснётся?

  10. This report doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to Russian hypersonics. Kinzahl is no way near as good as he thinks. It’s literally just a ballistic missile launched from a massive, Mach 3 fighter & nothing else. In other words, it’s a ballistic missile with an aircraft 1st stage. Their rocket engine does not last long, it cannot manoeuver seriously, it cannot continuously alter its trajectory. It doesn’t have sensors or precision. The US could have done this whenever they wanted, for decades. They don’t do ballistic missiles in the way the Russians & Chinese do. Largely because of the anti-Intermediate Ballistic Missile treaty but also because they have the USAF & the USN, so they can use much stealther, cheaper & more effective weapon systems e.g. Tomahawk. The US aren’t attempting to copy this, they’re working on air breathing, scramjet powered hypersonics. Which can do all of the things the reporter listed, as they’re powered by a far more efficient air breathing engine. They also have aerodynamic surfaces to be able to manoeuver. They still can’t detect a thing at hypersonic speeds, like anything else, so their moves will all need to be pre-programmed. It won’t respond to previously undetected popup threats for example, because it can’t see anything at Mach 5+.
