    1. Joke all you want, but Ukrainian Pilots themselves have admitted that Russian Sukhois are superior to their MiGs. They’re fighting desperately, requesting F-16s, and here you are on Youtube mocking the adversary that Ukraine is fighting tooth and nail against.

    2. @SplendidFactor
      It doesn’t matter the MiG’s are old jets…

      We will see if the Su 34 can handle the F16 in Syria soon enough….

    3. @kurt winslow
      Not sure how much training they can get….

      It takes 1000’s of hours to learn a jet like these Su or F16

  1. The colonel insinuating that someone is protesting order by bombing their own civilians is completely absurd. Im surprised neither thought of Russia blaming Ukraine or NATO striking within Russia is using this as an excuse for more mobilization/escalation.

    1. Surely that’s not the case. It’s just someone (as almost every Russian) simply likes money very much and desires a much more prosperous life for himself than Russian army would ever offer him… 😏🤑🤫

    1. @Enoch Cushite so numbers are all that matter in your opinion? How’s that working out for Russia currently?

  2. The Ukrainians seem to be executing this war in textbook fashion, allowing the enemy to make their own mistakes, learning from their own mistakes as well and adapting quickly, then manoeuvring accordingly to exploit the learnt weaknesses of the enemy.
    Expect something right out of the box with any counteroffensive, these people know what they are doing.

    1. @Chaldon 41 slava Germany and retaking kalingrad is gonna be awesome

  3. The Russian bomb was a glide bomb with a range of 40km that failed to deploy its wings when dropped. therefore instead of gliding 40km to Kharkiv, it went straight down to Belgorod

    1. Look his profile is him surrounded by cars, clearly a specialist in Russian glide bombs and wartime delivery systems in general.

  4. AMAZING REPORT PLEASE BE SAFE REPORTING FROM THE WAR THANK YOU AND MANY MANY MANY PRAYERS 🇺🇸💪

  5. Your ignoring the fact the in the UK there is a huge conference with regards to cyber security and one of the biggest failures of cyber groups is their ability to conduct offensive cyber.
    Russian fighters require “launch authority” while i don’t know much about the jet in particular, its highly likely it was a cyber intrusion.

  6. The biggest concern is when this atrocity of humanity ends, how does the World sit after.
    This World has changed irrevocably, dark times ahead for all of us.
