In this follow up to our most popular video ever, we take a closer look at the current state of the Russian army and the many issues that it faces in its war against Ukraine in 2024.

Put simply, Russia's military is running out of gear, equipment, and men. How much longer can they continue to fight Ukraine?

    In memory of my cousin, Cruz Bryan, SSGT, U.S. Army, KIA in Ukraine July 15th, 2024. May your sacrifice not be in vain.
  • Ukrainian farmers must be pissed, two years ago they were reselling ready to drive tanks, now they can only pick up burnt out hulls and crappy Chinese motorcycles.

    Who knew, you can't run a state like a mafia.

    Russia has been using the meat grinder “just keep throwin soldiers” tactic since WW1 but this time it might not work
  • I wonder how long until tiny countries like Moldova and Georgia go "You know, we should take Transnistria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia back."

    Those Russian "unarmored personnel carriers" are just Side-by-Side ATVs, very common in rural America

    I'm a former Tanker and was quite well briefed on the strengths and supposedly few weaknesses of the T-72 and later models. We in the Western militaries overlooked the really bad combat performances in actual combat leading up to this war. Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria etc. We just thought it was poor training, bad leadership and bad maintemence. But we're genuinely amazed at how crap they are - Russian tanks, tactics and Russian crews.
  • I thank my stars everyday that i was not born in Russia 😂
  • Russia has moved to a 100% vodka-based economy. It's food, fuel, medicine, entertainment, shelter and retirement investment all in one.
  • Russian bots are responding “ no you suck at war” And walk away feeling proud lol

    "F-16's to arrive in the coming weeks" Over the past few days falcons and have been sighted in flight across Ukraine. More to emigrate there before winter.

    The "special military operation" that was supposed to last three days is now taking a bit longer than three years and has depleted Russia of every resource it had. If you look at the map comparing Russia's size to the territory they claimed, the latter is like a few pixels on the screen.
  • @larswhitt1549
    And remember, Russia still need equipment to defence of its insane big borders. if you look at military bases at its western borders, they have emptied them out.
  • @kuckoo9036
    It's astonishing that a 70 year-old Russian grandpa can now be drafted into this absurd war.
  • History always repeats itself. In the last days of the Third Reich the Germans recruited 50+ years old men, teenagers and everybody previously not fit for the regular army to form the Volkssturm battalions. Equipped with WW1 rifles, panzerfaust and without a regular uniform (they used their own civil dresses with the addition of an arm band) they were sent to fill the gaps and stop the soviets tanks. Of course they could not, and their pompous name (Volkssturm) instead of inspiring confiance in the population seeing them, reminded that the once powerful and respected Germany was now in her last leg. I could imagine that those in Russia being more than 50 years old, that grew up in the Soviet Union (a respected country that believed to be able to race and win against the only other superpower) will feel exactly as the Germans seeing the Volkssturm as their last hope.

    Putin: "Hey ladies, you need to have eight or more children" Ladies: "Hey Baldy, you need to stop killing our children"
