When will you interview colonel Douglas McGregor a Tank commander who has actual experience in the theater of battle Field.

Fun fact. The Abrams and Leopard 2 started life as a German-American joint project - MBT70 - before they scrapped it for technical, cost and requirement reasons. But the tech was used to develop the Leopard 2 and the US later used the general gun. So the two tanks are cousins.

It’s the same strategy as every month. The strategy is: 1 lose 2 throw in new meat 3 repeat cycle

"We tried to negotiate with Ukraine but their negotiators refused to die after we poisoned them. They are completely unreasonable!" -- V. Putin, 2022

“It could take months for the tanks to get there” they could be there already but operational security matters

Stay strong valent Ukraine.

only served in the army for 26 months and i learned when you point on a military operation map you id East/West/North and South here we have a general ponting and says this way LOL

Actually Bakhmut is a strategic location for one sole reason. A RAILROAD HUB! Kramatorsk, Slovyansk, Lyman, Izyum, Horlivka, Lysychans’k, Donetsk, Lushank are all connected by railroad via bakhmut

Huge respect to the resilient Ukrainian fighters.. Defending their beloved motherland extremely well despite the harsh winter conditions & lack of weapons & supplies.. Slava Ukraini.. Stay strong Ukraine.

That's like the Allience VS Mordor Orc army.

Its not easy as your point fingers on that screen, things on the ground is different general.

Hilarious. Russia found out by retired US general. Must have read New York times.

The distance between Kiev and Moscow is 578 miles. Imagine hostile tanks and long range missile being that near Wshington.

F16 is a never fading beauty👍🙏❤️🇬🇧

I'm sure the Russians are having a good laugh.

uploaded 1h ago? Hmm.. saw that video yesterday :D

I pray to God that the allies are giving more than they say and are giving it now. Not all is well on the Eastern front. It 5 to 12 as we say in The Netherlands 😓.

The Bradley has already proven itself against Soviet armor. More T-72s were destroyed by Bradleys during the Gulf War than by Abrams tanks. In the Battle of 73 Easting, the Bradley proved itself more than a match for T-72s and BMPs. The TOW missiles are highly effective against tanks, and the autocannon is highly effective against trucks and BMPs.

What happens to stock prices of concerned companies if an Abrams tank is burning in the battlefield

Ukraine will want a Death Star next

Can’t wait for the US to start sending Ukraine some A-10 Warthogs😅

I don't see how not supplying the Ukrainian with long-range missiles makes sense. They need to disrupt Russian logistics. That's is common sense for any military success

Maybe they’re making a diesel version of the Abrams which is why they ordered them rather than pulling them from existing stock

"Retired colonel points at a random red pixel on a map".

Let us all do our part to help Russian turrets reach new heights.

This is not a colonel who inspires confidence.....

I think Cedric's a bit light on his feet . So where did you do your fighting Kernal ?

Leighton did a decent job - thank you CNN for finally getting someone who knows what he's about. :) Nice point about the M-1's need for maintenance/huge logistics tail. No weapon is any good if it doesn't operate. ;)

May God Bless the strong and honorable Ukrainian people✝️🙏

Air power, and ground forces compliment each other in the battlefield. Would these generals deny that? It’s not a case of Ukraine needing tanks then needing even more stuff. It’s a case of functional proxy war vs. halfassed proxy war.

Thank you for the information

A re-upload?

Are there not Abrams in Europe ready to go just as part of basic readiness?

Both guests are very knowledgeable and experienced

That was very interesting.

one can always speculate on why it'd take so long to get the tanks there.

Leopards & Abrams lets go..💪

120mm diplomacy coming up 💪🇺🇲

He is talking about this like it's building a team through drafts and trades🫡

alright well, interesting. thank you colonel

Can't imagine why so many former Soviet countries have banded together to oppose Russia

Can't wait to see Bradleys, Challenger 2s, LEOPARD 2 and Abrams working together in an armoured battlegroup. Will be a beautiful sight, and massively outmatch the russian capabilities. I am very interested is seeing how the UA integrates drones, with armour units. This is going to be revolutionary.

3:13 the people of North Carolina will always stand with Russia 🤣

Stop the war immediately

If you listen closely, the retired colonel sounds like the voice who does Disney intros. 😂

Many months is not good, glad the Leopard tanks can get there sooner. Just wish they did this months ago.

So I guess they don't want to end this war..!?

Pamela is such a pleasure to watch...

How is anyone happy about this? War is a living hell. Shame on all of you.

Lol he completely dodged the whole North Korea thing

PAM is just classyyyyyyyyy ! Great lady !

The speed of delivery is critical. More wound Russia inflicts, harder is to fight back.

We've heard several times already Ukrainians have been training on western fighter jets so they won't need as much training as it seems

we are really analyzing a war like its a sport

Good god how informative

At age 16.... Doug Masters learned to fly the F16 in a week!!!!

lol Send Putinder Box some more body bags!.. No one is left out then

When the Ukrainians get all the new tanks they should send them to the south to take back the Crimean Peninsula.

Glory to the very brave little Ukraine.

I highly doubt they'll take that look but let's allow Russia to believe that lol

This is where your sons and daughters will be sent. To this portion of Ukraine...We will win at any cost....

uhhh, colonel, exactly which bridges over the Dnipr will still be standing when those Leopards head towards the Donbass?

Fun fact: when a leopard hits you, it won’t be fun.

I hope that we have been training ukrainian pilots in advance so that they can be deployed with the proper equipment in time for their offensive this spring

I don’t know why Col Cedric is smiling while talking about tanks which will take many innocent lives. Please stop war for humanity

If it was Germany saying 'its going to take a while' CCn would allover them non stop just like lastweek

Imagine if the West rallied together like this to stop homelessness and poverty ?

well on a positive note nato has really got its act together previously befor eukraine war it was not prepared at all now because of this conflict nato is no joke

321? They were talking about only 2 leopard tanks for months.

We fight against everything we're guilty of!

Wish list! This isn’t Christmas! It’s a brutal war and Ukraine needs to defend itself with all armaments, planes, tanks. Do not make light of this aggression. Easy being in North America not easy being in Ukraine or other Baltic states.

Angela Merkel: "How much weapons can we give Ukraine so that Russia loses the war?" Circa 2015

Thanks Pamela excellent reporting as always .😁

It is shame that german government does not allow to send fighter jets (germany have 140 fighter jets) to help protect Ukrainian air space. They (german government) should stop blocking this.

They will get 77 asap but they have a nightmare with training on each of the different tanks and weapon systems. I do like that the US is sending 31. 31 is a prime number which means it’s Indivisible. With Liberty and Justice for All. 😂😂😂

Those Abrams when they pop out in the field in that new woodland or arid paint job 👀👀 wooooooo Lawd!

Yeah let's put randomly long arrows in the map in the thumbnail

Z for zombie fits the Putin horde to a tee. Me tinks

By the time Ukraine got the tanks and the F16 Russia will be in the Poland border.

Colonel Leighton said that word again---." ATCMS" The grand strategy for Ukraine was laid out some 40 years ago in the fabulous Dolly Parton film---"The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas": (Spruiker standing in front of the Chicken Ranch): "THERE'S LIQUOR UP THE FRONT---AND POKER IN THE REAR!"(Carol Hall) Tanks up the front( with troops)----and 150 k missiles on rear railheads , bridges and airfields in the Donbas and Crinmea.

Sonos for van?

Slava i peremoha Ukrayini!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

The bad thing is these tanks will inevitably end up in the enemies hands and reversed engineered. The new Abrams is loaded with sweet tech.

Be a shame if their was a bounty

Did you hear about obuma?

In just about every Vietnam War Movie, thers a GI saying somthing like: "...fighting with one arm tied behind the back..." I think Ukraine can relate.

Russia's (Soviet) strategy: put civilians and criminals in army suits, give them low quality equipment and send them in large numbers down one front. As opposed to their early war efforrt of sending them down many fronts. But although it may look pressing at Bakhmut -- and obviously we don't wish any setbacks for our Ukrainian allies and friends -- ultimately Russia is going to accomplish nothing except huge casualties for every inch they take. And they will not be able to hold it. That said, they do still have the numbers to spend, so we must help Ukraine punish Russia for their crimes and send them everything we have. Abrams and Leopards will already made a difference, but up next: we need to send Jets and some of our best missiles and defense systems. It's important for the safety of Ukraine -- and the entire world -- that Ukraine doesn't just inflict a defeat on Russia, but that they hand them a big defeat; one that saves as much Ukrainian lives as possible. Western leaders: do the right thing and do not be afraid of escalations. Send Ukraine any type of weapon we can. They are fighting a war instead of us/the rest of the world, so the least we can do is make sure they can fight it well.

You war monger people.. Talk and resolved issues... rather than sending arms...,😡😡😡

At 2:16 he speaks of attacking Crimea. This is why Crimea wanted to get away. The Ukrainian government had been neglecting and attacking places that were ostensibly a part of Ukraine. Surely this only confirms that we are supporting the wrong side in this conflict. Anyone who continually seeks to escalate a war and destroy the lives of more and more and more people should be held to account for that?

Russia never lost war so please don’t waste your time and people taxes

I feel like a couple of 100 modern Drones capable of destroying vehicles (Tanks) would be worth more then those 321 MBT‘s Easier to handle Less maintenance More range Safer for personal Same accuracy and capable to destroy any kind of vehicle and/or structure And better visibility of the Battlefield from the air Also a plus is that Drone war is new and military is still trying to find a good defence against it. So there are opportunities of ideas how to use them efficiently and higher chances of survival of the equipment. …. Your thoughts ?

He didn't want to talk about them long-range missiles did he? Lol

Ask Schwarzkopf if he would of invaded iraq with 31 Abrams tanks, you know what his answer would be so what makes you think Ukraine would be able to defend let alone counterattack a fron thats over 1000miles long with 31 tanks!!!!!

Let's spend our money helping everyone but ourselves

God bless and help Ukrain president people and army and countries helping Ukrain fighting for their motherland territories in defence Patriotic brave bravo against the offensive attacks of Russia

Dont trust these Russians( Government ), trust THESE Russians( Mercenaries ). Lmao

These men have been a war for 1 year. Give them the tools Already !!!

Ukraine Next: We want laser guns and UFOs

Ukraine does not have 6 months. Seems to me another case of to little to late!

retired colonel now a weatherman
