    1. @Les Vampyres and who will destroy Russia? Nato? Lol 😂, you really guys think that Nato will nuke Russia if Russia nuked Ukraine? 🤦‍♂️, only brainless idi0t would believe that 🤦‍♂️

    2. @Fish Lives Matter Russia must be stopped, otherwise Poland and Baltic states are next. Unfortunately freedom comes with a price.

    3. @Fish Lives Matter
      Try it. America will kill all of you Russians if you fire a single missile.

  1. Even though these are western jet fighters, we must remember the Ukraine has high level engineering and technology capability. They are old hands at designing and producing high tech aircraft for the Soviet Union. So learning how to maintain and support F16 Fighters should be easily within their skill set!

    1. @Apokkalyps i’d love to know how much of your ‘much’ is actually THAT much, because from the russian literary golden era (19th century), only Gnedich wasn’t born in present day Russia (he was ukranian btw and translated Homer’s Illiad from greek to russian)

    2. But by now Russia has probably made a shambles of Ukraine’s supply chain. Maybe the most important objective of war, that and demoralization.

    3. @B K LMAO 🤣💯💯😎 Ukraine is getting so hammered the entire West is scrambled to help try and do a regime change in Russia it’s never going to happen Zelensky is barely hanging on to power only with black ops protection is he alive….Green screen King

  2. NATO must allow the Ukraine to hit the Russians back in equal amounts, NATO has more precise weapons and can target the Russian energy infrastructure accurately without killing lots of civilians.

    1. No we should not. We cant act like those stupid cruel russians, we need to stick to beating russia in Ukraine !!

    2. @Arnold Salano That is giving up on life and allowing someone with Nukes to do what they like while threatening you with total destruction if you do to them what they are doing to you, that is not living, its just a slow death, Nukes were supposed to prevent war, not encourage it.

  3. I Love the Brave spirit, and actions of the Ukrainian people! I Pray for them. President V. Zelinsky is smart, strategic, and brave. He is Blessed!! However, this news anchor is not well-spoken. She continuously stumbles over her words. It is frustrating. Perhaps more training, practice time, and better prep? Not trying to be offensive, but… I’m just saying.

  4. I wonder if installing a CIWS (or the land based alternative) around major power infrastructure would make sense (and maybe less overall cost than missiles).

    2. @Sevenfold120 Ok so how many Patriots will it take to fully protect Ukraine? Did you know that a missile war with Russia or the Soviet Union was never envisioned as a defensive operation? The defense against a missile attack was a retaliation attack. The Patriot was intended to be used against obsolete one off weapons from low technology rogue states, not a peer adversary like China or Russia that can swamp missile defenses with mass attacks. The missiles in a swarm can and will get through . Even a few hits are devastatingly painful. Good Luck trying to stop 100% of the missiles. Russia is not Iraq,

    3. @Michael Kopischke yeah I know missiles will get through. Doesnt mean you give up trying or not build weapons that make a difference. Surface to air missiles and CRAMs are better than nothing. No I dont know how many Ukraine needs.

    4. Actually this is one of the better questions from the thousands of comments I have read on this war.
      Yes…they would work on the slow flying drones…and much cheaper to operate than One million for one.patriot missile.
      But. It’s too late..
      Russia is crushing the standing army of Ukraine.

  5. The amount of intelligence the US, UK and its military contractors are gathering in Ukraine on russian weapon systems is unbelievable. It will enable defense systems to save more lives.

    1. Ukraine claims to have detected 71 and shot down 61 missiles. Russia has launched 120 precision strikes on Ukrainian soil, many shown on video. That means 130 hit Ukraine. Why do Ukrainian leaders deceive their own people?

    2. So more weapons of death is going to bring Ukraine peace? Russia has the same intelligence gathering capability as the U.S. Most of the deaths are caused by massive salvo’s of artillery by pounding Ukraine from a distance,which there is very little defense.So far the U.S.has spent over $110 Billion on Ukraine and all it has done is kelp Bloodying The Killing Fields, prolonging the war to slaughter more Ukrainians.Listen to Roger Waters of Pink Floyd speech to the UN. https://youtu.be/xZXMmRg9ZcU

  6. Makes more sense to supply Ukraine with MIG’s “right now” probably from Poland who has them re supply Poland with F16’s as replacement, then Ukrainian training on F-16’s can take place while they continue to defend with MIG’s

    1. @nave mafe
      Poland already quietly gave them the migs as “spare parts” a while ago. And f16 will never be given in large enough numbers to make a difference in airspace littered with what is probably the best air defence systems in the world

  7. I think procurement problems is a matter of internal issues. What west needs to focus is weapons system to defeat Russia in Ukraine.

  8. 61 out of 71 is a hit rate of 86%, very high shoot down accuracy, well done Ukraine Air Defences.
    Give the Ukraine Armed Forces the CIWS weapons system for shooting down the Iranian drones.

  9. Could the West assist Ukraine to build power grids underground to avoid or protect them from Ruskie missile and drone attacks. Ukraine can seek assistance from Finland to build underground bunkers for its power grids since Finland has good experience and skills bunker development. SLAVA UKRAINI …HEROYAM SLAVA !!!!

  10. Thank you, Russia, for allowing us to perfect our anti-missile systems. Soon they will be AI controlled and perfected to the point where it will be rare that anything gets through.

    1. Yes they do. They will do anything to help Putin. They are funded by Putin, Xi and Prince Bone Saw in Saudi who have all ganged up to destroy US democracy. The GOP are the wolves in the hen house and I have no idea why they aren’t locked up for insurrection.

  11. 71 cruise missles at a cost of about 6.5 million dollars each. Russia basically spent 461 million dollars to shoot 10 missles. What a disaster.

  12. Here’s something to check out Chinese 60mm mortars being used by Russian troops. That not a regular used Russian weapon

  13. The missile defense symtems donated by the allied countries are not in vain. It saved lives of the ukrainians! Glory to Ukraine and its allies

  14. Congratulations to the President of Ukraine for his courageous and courageous struggle for the people, let there be only good news for Ukraine.🙏
