The colonel is afraid of saying the truth that Russian shovels are doing a fantastic job

[xoPRECISEox]

It's pretty obvious that Ukraine is losing this war.

It’s unbelievable, So these great retired generals didn’t know in advance that it’s difficult to succeed the counteroffensive without proper air support. Last month these guys were saying in this same platform that F16 wont help you to gain ground and Ukraine have everything they need for the offensive.. such a shame..

[antonysimpson]

The General knew before this counter offensive that it would be a disaster. The side who has air superiority hammers the side that hasn’t

[TimothyBuerki]

The US is benefiting so much from this war, they don’t want it to end too fast 😂

[axelcv]

Ukraine is being utterly crushed by Russian forces who cannot believe how naive and pointless this supposed counter offensive is.

[raywhitehead]

Finding out Western tanks aren't working any better then Russian ones against anti armour missiles.

The Duran on YT talks about the NON Ukrainian offensive, the Huge numbers of Ukrainian soldiers surrendering and defecting.

[operator]

you told us they have everything they need!

[USAMAURICE]

Now it is the air for the reason ukraine is losing .first, it tank . Every month, it is something different

[SN-szkw]

It’s not a lag. It’s a war. People are watching like it’s a video game or virtual reality TV. Those who are impatient can go help clear mines.

I'm surprised an Air Force officer didn't educate on basing, and maintenance. What airstrips would these aircraft use? Where would they be maintained. Next time do us all a service and ask for insight into these issues.

Definition of cluster bomb: bomb, the use of which is a violation of international law when Russia uses it but is perfectly ok when supplied to Ukraine by the U.S.

[matthewmuise]

it funny to see these ' so call pro's" flip flop all the time

[HeartDocAndrew]

"Retired colonel explains lag in Ukrainian counteroffensive" so let's otherwise "Convince It Forward" with Slava BOHU

[BogeyTheBear]

To answer the video's title: It's _war, _ folks. They don't run on schedule.

[rikgto]

InfographicsChannel explains best how probing of defenses is needed first before the actual full phase of offensive can commence

[brandyheng]

US play out Ukraine by delivering defective or outdated weapons and Zelensky is crying out loud 😂

[Solitude]

Anti tank and anti aircraft weapons work really well

[photonotavailable]

🇺🇸 Lag = No Abrams, no F-16s, no ATACMS. 🇺🇦
