  1. I think as always the truth lies between the two. Zelensky won't have much more support than what is currently expected (nothing major at least, Patriot are already scheduled) and maybe the US will remind them that it would be good if they tried to negotiate but without insisting.

  3. ↓ the flaws we all know. Lack of CITV (Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer)

  5. "In the gardens of Saint Sophia Cathedral, soldiers rehearse a military ceremony on December 13, 2022 in kyiv (Ukraine). GUILLAUME HERBAUT/VU’ FOR “LE MONDE”" "During the funeral ceremony. GUILLAUME HERBAUT/VU’ FOR “LE MONDE”" *Very interesting for uniform enthusiasts. This is a jacket from the French FELIN uniform. It is one of the models used by the French army. This is a T3 SAGEM DS jacket. We had the same in Afghanistan. Currently deployed in the regiments is the T4 it seems to me, which has two buttons on each bottom pocket. It would therefore perhaps be an emptying of the French stock of "slightly older" jackets. Note: the French do not wear belts above the jacket. You can notice the square velcro on the chest which is the typical French army velcro where you put the rank.
  6. Interesting video about reports of "Lesson learned by russians" since the beginning of the war: Lesson 1: There is No Sanctuary Lesson 2: Slack Capacity Lesson 3: Drones for everyone Lesson 4: Precision Lesson 5: Disperse, Dig Deep or Move Fast Looting The link of the report of RUSI : https://static.rusi.org/359-SR-Ukraine-Preliminary-Lessons-Feb-July-2022-web-final.pdf
  7. Hope this will be over by this time. But OMG, what a shower it will be for the russians

  13. You're welcome. As a father of 3, I know what it's like to have limited time . On this site, there is also the interesting possibility when one chooses "Invasion Maps" to choose a sector of the front and to see at a glance the evolution from day to day.
  14. Exactly. He has always been very critical of the Ukrainian command and politicians. Unfortunately, the Ukrainian losses are very probably heavy, everyone suspects it, but he exaggerates things a lot. He takes certain elements of Russian propaganda a little too much as truth. He's been wrong a lot of times in the past on things like HIMARS attacks on ammunition depots etc, but now he's just gone into a fungus delirium I believe. If we listened to him, Ukraine would have already collapsed 5 times in the past 2 months. He is never so critical with the Russians. Ukrainian successes are minimized or even hidden and small local Russian successes are directly cited. Perhaps his logic/strategy is to seek provocation from listeners and thus pass himself off as someone neutral and therefore more reliable... In any case, it has become pathetic and that's a shame. Also, his videos are very long now which is even more of a waste of time. I know that Steve already knows this site well, but if you have little time and want a good almost daily military summary, you have to go to militaryland.net Combining the two channels from my previous post plus militaryland will take you about 20-25 minutes a day and you'll get a really good (IMHO) look at what's going on as the War in Ukraine videos take you have for about 48 minutes and it's just sh*t.
  15. Some time ago, on the topic, we debated on the usefulness of his videos. I indicated that I still looked at them because that made it possible to leave our echo chamber, to have certain economic aspects which I did not know and multiplying sources. However, I find that over time his videos are less and less interesting, more and more erroneous. Now, it's been about 1 month since I unsubscribed from this channel and I'm doing very well. Now if I had to recommend something of quality to watch and which offers a good summary (without being too optimistic), it would be the videos of Reporting from Ukraine and Denys Davydov. Watching War in Ukraine is now A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.
