What are the long lessons people draw from the Ukraine War? In this video Nicholas "The Chieftain" Moran (Lt. Col. in the US Armed Forces) and I talk about this. We look at tanks, drones, the TikTok / Information War, logistics, civilian targets, civilian resilience, etc. Cover Image: Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0, via Wikimedia Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anti-terrorist_operation_in_eastern_Ukraine_(War_Ukraine)_(26501713354).jpg »» GET OUR BOOKS «« » Stukabook - Doctrine of the German Dive-Bomber - http://stukabook.com » The Assault Platoon of the Grenadier-Company November 1944 (StG 44) - http://sturmzug.com » Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 - http://www.hdv470-7.com »» SUPPORT MHV «« » patreon, see videos early (adfree) - https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis »» MERCHANDISE «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « our brains 00:00 Intro 02:31 Drones & Panzers? 04:45 TikTok War / Information War 08:29 Logistics 11:38 Hitting Civilian Targets 18:10 Russians not learning? 23:07 Are Airmobile Units obsolete? 28:43 Are large warships obsolete? 32:24 Tank Design & Drones #ukrainewar #lessonslearned #wronglessons

There are some weak spots in your analyses in this video. Let's take them one by one: 1. To deprive the population in Kiev and other cities of water and electricity can produce more resistance to the Russian invasion, but it also has the effect of making the population less productive as an actual force of "supporting the forces". They suddenly have other things to think about. The willingness to fight among the German population during the First World War was undermined by the lack of food. 2. Making major cities unlievable produces refugees that are costly to the war effort and many of them end up in neighbouring countries. 3. Blaming Putin for high gas prices, high electricity prices, inflation in general and unemployment will only work to some extent in neighbouring countries. Restlessness with the war and the supply situation is already evident in Germany. Czech Republic and Italy. It will probably increase. The Russians know that time and the winter is on their side. The incompetence of the Russian forces has made them seem less of a threat to people in the West, so why should they support a war that means a tremendous loss of purchasing power to themselves. These are not my views, of course, but they are easily "sold" on the political market when people feel the economic crunch.

Military History Visualized

First off, as stated this was mainly a discussion talk not a deep analysis, still, about your points: 1) that would assume that amount of damaged caused is large enough to make the population less productive, I am quite hesitant about that, e.g., look at Germany in WW2. Lack of food is unlikely an issue for Ukraine. 2) annoyance 3) "Restlessness with the war and the supply situation is already evident in Germany. Czech Republic and Italy." Not seen anything of relevance, e.g., in Austria I think we had at one point demonstrations on a daily basis against the government around 2000 or something. I am not sure about Dresden, but I think they also had/have(?) demonstrations for ages by certain groups long before the war. What counts is the "silent majority".

Ha, Chieftain is so right about Baltic States - Lithuania sits 3rd with it's donation amount (by GDP) in top list, being a tiny micro-State...! And we're still buying killer drones, Bayraktars & naval drones to this day, once a month or so.
