@@PolishBehemothNope, and neither do you. But we both know that Russia has 5x the population (pre war) and likely 7x the population now that half of Ukraine has left. One side can afford casualties, one side can’t. Wanna guess which one can’t?

That’s a good point.

I doubt Ukraine able to commit another grand offensive due to lack of ammo, equipment, supply, fuel and manpower. Dnipro front has been stagnate since june and many Ukrainian manpower and armored vehicles are now focusing on Avdeevka.

Ukraine is winning they have been since the start so they tell us. Now Ukraine admits it has lost ALL of its professional military to the last man.

It’s amazing what a military can do when it’s leaders are sober!

Surprised you by what? How totally incompetent an entire army can be? Conducting river crossing operations when there is zero reason to do so is the sign of a complete dumb ass planning your operations. The Ukrainian command is dominated by mouth breathing morons.

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it :)

@@ZuluknobIt´s an attrition war between Rusia and NATO. 42 countries are producing and sending weapons to Ukraine. Even Sweden alone can defeat Russia, a third world country. We, the West have infinitely more production and population than Russia does.

@@Zuluknob It is not just size that matters but how you use it.

Wishful thinking. The failure of Ukrainian counteroffensive is a direct result of underestimation of Russian army. You are making the exact same mistake: Russians know quite well what happened in 1920 and will act accordingly.

'3 day special military operation.'

"Strategically, Russia now seeks to create international borders roughly along the current line of contact. Essentially, Russia is pursuing long-term stalemate-in-place." No, Russia is busy killing the Ukraine army until it crumbles. The overall killratio is around 20 to 1 in Russian advantage. Last week, Putin openly discussed this matter in a way that clearly signalled that Russia is now most likely aiming to take at least everything east of Dniepr +Nikolaev and Odessa, or to take everything except what was originally the Polish west. And of course, Medvedev openly warned 2 months ago that either Ukraine surrenders unconditionally, or it will cease to exist. . "Essentially, Russia is pursuing long-term stalemate-in-place." Only a complete moron believes that. Current Russian KIAs, 35 thousand confirmed, 40-50 thousand estimated. Current Ukrainian KIAs, 400 thousand confirmed(back in May 2023), 650-850 thousand estimated. Ukraine military at start of 2022, 700 thousand troops, over 3 thousand tanks, over 500 combat aircraft. Of those troops, well over half were "trained and equipped to the best Nato standards". Or as the Florida colonel who had been there since 2014 training Ukraine troops to attack Russia, "they're the best Nato army in the world and they'll be in Moscow before end of the year!". Russian intervention force, was just over 100 thousand troops, 1 thousand tanks and 600 combat aircraft. Ukraine has since mobilised at least 2 million people and been given or refurbished 1-2 thousand tanks and 200-300 combat aircraft. Russia has mobilised 300 thousand and recruited about 500 thousand volunteers. Russia fought at a numerical disadvantage up until March 2023. During Autumn 2022, Russia had roughly 60-65 thousand troops deployed, plus around 50 thousand DPR/LPR troops, against roughly a million Ukraine troops, as they peaked in manpower in September. Ukraine had a population of around 40 million at start of 2022. Today, it is estimated that at most 26 million remains. About 4-5 million have fled to Russia, the rest westwards, where they mostly aim to REMAIN. Months ago, we had samples of Ukrainian mobilisation glorious success, when a 50+ old man with a heart condition surrendered so that he could get the medicine he needed(he was literally grabbed off the street, knocked out and woke up in training camp). And then there was the 73 year old that surrendered last month. And now last week, a pregnant woman. And of course, that's before the obvious, that the west is now beginning to bugger out because they see how badly they are losing. Or as the Nato general recently warned against trying to fight Russia directly, "we would lose 3500 DEAD per day if we tried".

They won't be able to, as the ukraines have one inlet they can use to keep the bridge head open, the russians are already crossing and pushing the north side to keep direct fire on the inlet. Ukraine has lost 5 boats today trying to resupply the marines they landed. At this point they won't be able to get them back out either.

@@Robert53area You wouldn't happen to have any proper geo located video sources for that? What someone said on telegram, or some ministry barfed up, doesn't really count in a world where open source intelligence is typically days or weeks ahead of the official narrative.

@@Robert53area "Ukraine has lost 5 boats today" I read a claim yesterday that Ukraine lost an AVERAGE of 4 boats every day. "At this point they won't be able to get them back out either." Nope. There's a reason why Russia is trying to sink ALL boats when they're going BACK. Because as long as Ukraine is capable of getting troops across, it gives the impression that "we can do this!", and they keep doing it...

​@@Robert53areaSilly boy.

@JenyaFookleff, correction. Nato/Ukraine blew the dam. Why would the russians blow the dam if the river was protecting them from the Nazis?

First point Russia did not blow up the dam, nor did they attack their own pipeline, or their own nuclear power station. You are obviously one of the many gullible people who believes what they like to believe regardless of whether it’s true or not. If you had any brains you would ask a few simple questions like who these incidents benefit. For instance. Who would benefit from blowing up these facilities, certainly not Russia. After spending billions on the pipeline all they need to do if they wanted to stop the flow was turn off the valves. In the case of the damn, Ukraine had already tried several times to blow it up. They occupied the power station it would be very easy to blow it up. If they had wanted it blown they wouldn’t have stopped Ukraine firing missiles at it

Why would Russia blow up a dam with the result being a destruction of their defensive positions? Seems that Ukraine blew up the dam. And I believe that dam was involved in collecting water that gets sent to Crimea.

🤡

they won't be able too. You can't just send troops across a massive river unopposed. This is a suicidal mission. Unless Ukraine is attempting the Normandy landings and a lightning push; they will not be able to slowly and methodically push out Russians. You can't just dislodge Russians with 500 troops; you need to go all out. I've never once called any attack by any side in this war 'suicidal' until now. Yes, Russia's avdivka offensive was bad; Ukraine's counteroffensive was also bad; but this is suicidal. What happens when those 500 troops need to retreat? They'll have to ferry every bit of equipment from that bank. This will cause enormous losses and equipment capture. And to think all this was done for publicity.

So it's not just a trap for them? It'seems risky... then again it's a war...

Tactical advances won't move the needle. Zaluzhnyy made it clear that the war is at a stalemate.

@@traumvonhaiti • I always consider the possibility that a Commander may spread disinformation. It is certainly to Ukraine's advantage to have Putin believe Ukraine sees a stalemate and will negotiate. Putin's belief will then lead him to downplay the significance of Ukraine's bridgehead over the Dnipro so he will not reinforce this part of the frontline.

Fully agree!

Which, to my mind, is another way of saying that democracy is a more effective system than authoritarianism. Another example is the way that Russian commanders are fundamentally concerned with improving/securing their own political positions (Prigozhin having been the most visible example), whereas the Ukrainians are focused on winning the war. Dictatorships corrupt every level of society and can't produce leaders who act on the basis of a greater good.

​@Acid_Viking explains why napoleon failed and so did hitler and Mussolini and Stalin failed.

@@righthandstep5 Stalin started the WW2 to capture half-Poland, and ended the war capturing Whole poland, and Half-Europe. what a "Failure"!

"in contrast to the unmaginative and rigid thinking of the Russians" Hmmm... Ukraine start of 2022, 700 thousand troops, nearly 2/3 of which trained and equipped "to the best Nato standards", over 3 thousand tanks, over 500 combat aircraft. And not to forget, 5 thousand each Stingers and Javelins, minimum. Plus since then, over 2 million mobilised. Ukraine troop numbers peaked at 1 million around September/October 2022. Ukraine current troop numbers, around 500 thousand. Russian intervention, 100 thousand troops, 1 thousand tanks, 600 combat aircraft. First 9 months, never more than 125 thousand troops actively deployed against Ukraine. Russian forces reached numerical parity in March 2023 with Ukraine. Russian KIAs, 35 thousand confirmed, 40-50 thousand estimated total. Despite attacking. Ukraine KIAs, over 400 thousand confirmed in May 2023, 650-850 thousand estimated total. Despite defending from the biggest complex of fortifications since the Maginot line and possibly ever. So, every time there's mobile warfare and Russia utterly wrecks Ukraine despite having much less troops, that's just some sort of freak accident? Maybe you should think about you delusions?

All of Anders news is encouraging! And most of it turns out wrong 🎉

Is one of the agreements you mentioned include the Minsk agreement?

@@black_triton9264 All of Anders news is balanced! As for your 2nd premise, care to provide any specific examples?

@@guydreamr "blalanced", "unbiased" means calling out the good and bad plays on each side. That never happens on this channel. Why? Because Anders is an officer at a Danish mil academy. He's a serving NATO officer. He'll be on the carpet for disloyalty if he says RU did something well. He kept saying the UA c/offensive was making gains when it was already dead in the water. Look at what he said about Bakhmut being "strategically important " while in UA hands then magically it wasn't very important once it changed hands. All those "game changers" that amounted to nothing. Putin has cancer/14th heart attack/med issues.. ok, I'll bite. Source? Zero. Putin under political stress/tenuous hold on power... as evidencedby what? RU has sustained hundreds of thousands of deaths... BBC (UK MoD?) Funded "mediazona project" says different (check it out for yourself). When RU started using upgraded RM37 and shot down 25 UA aircraft in last two weeks of October... crickets. Here is some BS "analysis" from this vid: RU has to pull back to high ground away from river and build defences there OR fight at the current bridgehead line. Why can't they do both? Is that what RU did in order to build the Surovikin Line? Pull back and not maintain the line of contact? 🤡 Anders is a navy guy (i think the equivalent of an army major). I'll presume he knows what he's talking about in the maritime environment (im givinghim a freebie because i haven't heard any). But he's out to lunch on army operations. I conclude that he is either trying to make a popular name for western audience echo chamber to sell books/UKposts revenue OR the channel is a NATO info op. So why do I watch Anders? Because I listen to points of view across the whole spectrum and then make my own assessment of who is winning. It's not who Anders says it is...

@@guydreamr How is it balanced when he NEVER talks about Russian success but only Ukranian? He wont even call an offensive that had as a STATED GOAL to reach the Azov Sea a failure when it doesn't reach its goal. Anders is a propagandist much like russian milbloggers and like many of them he prefers only to report the stuff going in favour of his 'faction'.

If AFU captures the dam then they build it up a few ft which would stop the lower Dnipro long enough for the ground to freeze for crossing and bridging.

I certainly wouldn't want to advance across something that wide open…

they cannot secure Kinburn Spit, because there is no way to supply and defend it from the Ukrainian side, sending forces their is effectively a death sentence, with no line of retreat and surrounded by water on 3 sides

​@johntowers1213 Correct. It was obvious from the beginning but now it's starkly obvious

They very clearly have allowed this situation to develop a sunk cost for the UA. All those men & boats sent (& sunk) for no real gain

😂

It also seems to me, another amateur prone of making analogies, that Russian command is very indifferent about the lives of certain troops while they might be more careful with others. Namely, they seem to be throwing ethnic and political minorities (amog others) into those human waves, much like the Soviet command threw a lot of non-russians into Finnish front during Winter War. Kinda like an ethnic and political cleansing while forcing your enemy do the killing for you.

Normbale. Your comment is extraordinary!

70,000 plus lost in the failed offensive. Desperate for weapons and men. WW1 generals were more careful.

​@1faustus the British lost 60 thousand men opening day of the Somme, do you know nothing of world war one. 1000 casualties a day is a drop in the hat compared to WW1.

Not really. The two choke-points to Crimea is still well out of range for GMLRS ("HIMARS") rockets. Ukraine would have to advance more than 50km towards Crimea before their standard artillery would be in range. However, as soon as Boeing-SAAB get their fckng finger out and start delivering GLSDBs in large numbers Ukraine will be able to hit both choke-points from their current positions.

Ukraine can't get equipment like HIMARS across the river.

"Another downside from the Russian point of view in allowing the bridgehead is that it expands the area that can be hit by Ukrainian rockets and more importantly, artillery." Uh-huh... So why don't you explain how you move heavy artillery across water on rubber dingys? And, do you even understand that right now, the entire bridgehead is getting hit on a daily basis by TOS-1 flamethrower MLRS? You know, thermobaric warheads that kills anything in range of it, even behind cover unless it's airtight and explosion proof cover. In a location, where Ukraine is unable to dig in deep, because the local watertable is too close to the ground. "Ukraine may be close enough to actually cut the land bridge to Crimea from Russia" And the copium runs high at your place. Wow. If it wasn't so stupidly delusional, it would be hilarious. Ukraine took nearly 300 dead in losses just in the last week at the bridgehead. That's almost a battalion worth of people. And Russia is destroying a large part of the boats, AFTER they deliver troops to the bridgehead. And since you apparently failed to notice, the absolute first thing Russia did after they started their SMO, was to create DEFENSIVE LINES in the north of Crimea and south of Kherson. In Southeast Zaporoche, Ukraine threw everything it had against Russian defenses, and now, 5 months later, they have still just barely reached the first line of defense. The only part of the defense they have actually gotten past was the outer line of dragonteeth, and even that, just barely. Oh, and of course, then we have the TINY little problem of manpower. Ukraine doesn't HAVE ANY. The average Ukraine soldier today is in their 40s or 50s, and have 2-4 weeks of training. And Ukraine literally ran out of strategic reserves before they admitted the great superduper uberoffensive was over. Russia has about 600 thousand troops in strategic reserve, this is more than Ukraine has troops in total. Do you actually think Ukraine can achieven anything NOW that Russia has numerical superiority? When Russia utterly crushed Ukraine even when they had a numerical disadvantage of 3 to 1? The current killratio in Russian advantage is estimated around 20 to 1. Do the math, draw actual conclusions. Think about what you're doing supporting nazis.

@@DIREWOLFx75 Russian troll - I see this name spouting the same BS in multiple posts.

@@DIREWOLFx75 I mainly agree but claiming 20 to 1 manpower loss ratio is about as realistic as the NAFO guys talking about resuming the counter offensive next year. Those kind of numbers lose credibility for your overall argument.

They can't. They are running out of men and equipment.

Do you realize that Ukraine has been on this counter offensive for over 5 months and have lost 100,000 men in that time. They have made very minor advances in a couple of areas. Overall Ukraine has actually lost more territory.

Thanking the dude who feeds you BS is some strange form of personality decay)

Jeg siger også tak. Ukraine har helt klart gået hårdt efter det russiske antiluftskyts de sidste mange måneder, men om vi allerede nu er der, hvor det er helt elimineret, det lyder næsten for godt til at være sandt. For mit eget vedkommende glæder jeg mig især til at se, når ukrainerne lancerer den næste forårsoffensiv med støtte fra F16 fly i luften, som forhåbentlig vil bane vejen til Tokmak og videre frem for dem.

War is a thinking man's game. I ❤ how concisely focused, knowledgeable and forward-thinking the mind of Anders is. After watching his videos I always come away feeling like I'm more "war smart" than before. For example, following the logic of this presentation you don't just want to cause problems for your adversary, you want to cause him "damned if I do, damned if I don't" dilemmas that weaken him and leverage your own warfighting capacity. And by extension, one needs to likewise be ever alert to detect where, when and how your adversary might well be attempting to return the favor.

Men det er jo umuligt for ukraine at vinde ... En mindre nation med mindre materiel og mandskab kan ikke vinde over en større nation. Det er rimelig simpel logistik.

Totally agree. I am sticking with every channel that stays in Ukraine.

Ukraine actually moved one of their best known drone unit to that part of the front. And they have been very busy ...

In the vietnam war the Vietcong and North Vietnamese army did transport Artillery in small parts over/thruh a mountains, rivers and jungles. The French and later South vietamese / US army did not nottice till artillery shells started dropping on their troops. It all depends on NOT being spotted by the enemy

As long as they're operating in the lowlands like they're currently doing, fpv drones are very effective. The downside to the fpv drones however is that they require a line of sight between the antenna on the drone, and the antenna at the controllers. If the operator is located in the lowlands, that means the drones will lose signal at the critical final approach to the target, if the target is located top of the elevation, behind the horizon relative to the operator. The Ukrainians however have been busy developing their drones, to incorporate signal relay drones - similar to how the lancet drones operate - but there hasn't been much news regarding how successful that effort has been yet.

@@Ragnaroz6000The Ukrainian company Himera is building relay systems for this purpose.

Thx for the name, I will look them up. I knew they were using a relay technique, but not who was developing it. If you have the travel range on the drone you could get a LONG way out with multiple 'chained' relays, just limited by drone range. You are probably not going to get the further afield ones back, but expending drones is very common, even for missions where the drone is doing just deep recon, as I understand it, especially the cheap Charlie commercial quads, which in some areas are becoming less effective due to being easily countered. @@harmless6813

Kherson is liberated for over a year. Plenty of time to dig a tunnel 😉

Russia depleted Kharkiv out of troops to reinforce Kherson to keep it at all costs. The proverbial more mouths to feed arrived right before Ukraine kicked the dinner table down. No such thing is happening here.

It maybe the case, but Russia would have to concentrate strong forces to take back the bridgehead. Like the Ukrainians did to take back Kherson. Can they do that while also attacking around Adiivka? Or even without weakening some parts of the front?

@ChucksSEADnDEAD 11 minutes ago Russia filled Kherson with manpower prior to the bridges being struck. That means that right before Ukraine depleted their resource supply rate, Russia dramatically increased their need for resources in Kherson. It was a one-two punch combo that rocked them. Ukraine is not over filling their bridgehead with troops in a desperate attempt to hold, nor are they hinging on two easily struck crossings. There's no right cross to the jaw. There isn't even a jab that lifts the head and exposes the chin. The double whammy Russia got in Kherson is not here.

Yea I'm concerned about the same thing, but I'm guessing they know something that we don't or have an end goal in mind that doesn't require that beachhead to be long term.
