Ukraine are giving the West a tactical 'masterclass'

Delaying battles against a numerically superior enemy are unquestionably one of the hardest tasks a military commander can face.

Thank you Ana for the news.Glad you are safe today .Condolences to the bereaved family and friends of the victims of russian terrorism in your country.

What the guy described in the first 32 seconds is EXACTLY how a smaller army or less well armed army fights a larger better armed enemy (but one that's like Russia, rigid, lacks tactical skills) you wear the enemy down tactically retreat and live to fight another day and keep on harassing your enemy and fighting them on your terms where you are strongest tactically and they are weakest. It's classic warfare tactics from Sun Tzu The Art of War.. you never try to go all-in against a superior enemy that will crush you, you keep them at arms length...same as a technically skilled boxer would who is fighting someone with a hard punch and long reach but who is hopeless on the ropes or in close fighting contact. Use your enemies size and weaknesses to your advantages and gradually wear them down moral wise, equipment and munitions wise, then go forward on the offensive more aggressively when the enemy is weakest not while its still strong and well armed.

I was in Dnipro one evening when refugees arrived from Mariupol, consisting mostly of young mothers with children. Walking amongst them, looking into the children’s eyes, I found the wonder and joy of youth having been shocked out of them. The spiritual and psychological impacts of this debacle will loom largely over Ukraine, in the post-Putin reign of terror.

500-1000kgs of explosive is what he said, not 500000kgs to those whom may be wondering.

It was a bad mistake sending slaves to liberate a free people.

Sweden have said that Ukraine can use the weapons we donated in Russia

What people misunderstand is that the F16 is not a gamechanger, its the intergration of the munitions you can put on it that makes it an asset. The different types of guided bombs, air to air missles, harm missles, jamming pods. That will make it harder for russia.

This is a really great report and what I believed was happening myself.

I think Sun Tzu said "Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee"

Great analysis. Thanks.

Russia began this campaign with at least an 11 factor advantage over Ukraine, Ukraine has to wait for its supplies to arrive from across the Atlantic, yet Russia still cannot win.

17 Months? 2 Years plus 3 months= 27 Months!

Centuries from now, military historians will still be studying with awe the brilliant courage and tactics of the Ukrainian people

31:31 Do frontliners want replacements? Or reinforcements? I would imagine the experienced frontliner won't leave because the experience can't be passed on. I'm hoping there's training of good people that want to defend Ukraine going on in many countries. Heroes, one and all! 💜

This Philip Ingram's brilliant! Clear thinking. Sharp. And well done, James. Always steady and on point.

Excellent interview. Worth revisiting. Thank you - may Ukraine garner all the support it needs thanks to your tenacity, intelligence and experience🕊️

I suggest a review of this program in say six months. Same presenters and commentors to review the status of the conflict.

Being a Russia historian of sorts, Putin should recognize this fight and retreat tactic... Napoleon's Great Army was whittled away as Russian forces retreated toward Moscow. For Putin to suffer the same fate proves 'History loves irony'.

I have seen so many football matches where the loser has more possession of the ball. The ruzzians just don't understand what is actually happening to them. Slava Ukraine! ❤
