    This is more of a historical document than an up-to-date summary of the situation now.

    Storm Shadows max range is actually 320-340 miles. The UK and France just limit the range for the export versions.

    I like how he described the firecracker in your hand strait from the movie Armageddon

    Ukraine received Storm Shadow missiles in March, 2023 - more than a year after a "three day" ru///ian invasion, and uses these very effectively against the second army in Ukraine. Thank you for support! Better late than never.

    Have to say for a tiny country, the Brits do a great job - this and the NLAW are awesome!

    I could be wrong here but from what i've noticed the west is only providing UA with enough weaponry for it not to loose instead of actually giving them the tools it wants/needs to win this war. It took the west months to provide them with modern tanks and apc's and because it took so long it gave the russians more then ample time to dig in and fortify their positions hence the failed long awaited summer offensive.

    The US and Germany need to decide if they really want to defeat Russia via Ukraine or not. A few hundred long range missels that they can easily supply could take out the Kerch Bridge would bring a good return for a small investment. Seems like a no brainer compared to sending jets.
  • ATACMS are easy to notice when launched because they shoot at a higher angle and have an extremely large back blast! The smaller GMLRS munitions can shoot at much lower angles. The ATACMS “pods” also resemble the front of all the other munitions as in it looks like a 6 rounder but splits apart at launch with only one missile inside vs 6 rockets.
  • ATACMS are great but the Army has a limited number to transfer to Ukraine. The US should provide JASSM, the equivalent to Storm Shadow,. There are thousands of these in the inventory.

    Every little thing is not a game changer, they need weapons, no super pricey weapons, but ALOT of weapons. Its like bringing a box of paperclips into a newspaper printing factory... Yeah the clip is amazing it keeps papers in order but one box is useless.

    Grad can be a psychological weapon. Falling random is worse than running away from a known potential target.
  • The most factually accurate documentary so far, thank you for admitting Great Britain 🇬🇧 led the way We are with you Ukraine 🇬🇧 Slava Ukraini
  • @sferris33
    Definitely Ben Wallace should be the next Secretary General of NATO!
  • @JBassamore
    4:05 He quotes Jason Isaacs aka Ronald Quincy from the movie Armageddon about the firecracker blowing up the meteor in the planning room lol
