Military Aviation Expert on Why a No Fly Zone Would Solve Putin’s Problem

Military aviation expert Justin Bronk, Royal United Services Institute Research Fellow, Airpower & Technology, joins Ward from London to discuss how and why the Russian Air Force has fallen short during the initial phase of the invasion of Ukraine and why a no fly zone wouldn't work (and actually would solve Putin’s problem for him).

Mr. Bronk's explanation, of the inadvisibility of a no fly zone, at the end of the video is the most cogent one that I have read, seen, or heard.

I would say Justin knocked it out of the park with that analysis. Nothing more you could really add, he touched on every aspect with a common sense outlook.

Justin should be invited as a guest on all the broadcast networks. His incredibly intelligent, cogent, articulate and considered perspective is what people all over the world need to be hearing. I am blown away listening to his crystal-clear take on each aspect of this situation.

The people who think we (the U.S. primarily) should go into Ukraine with guns blazing against all Russian assets need to hear what Justin is saying.

Thanks to Juan Browne Blancolirio for leading many of us here today. EXCELLENT show Ward Carroll & insightful commentary from Justin Bronk.

This is the most fabulous analysis of the military situation and the political risks. Those calling for a no-fly-zone need to watch this. Justin clearly has an exceptional grasp of the military and political realities.

After watching youtube for many years, I still get blown away by some of the quality of the uploads. Truly informative, non-senstionalist and even an idiot like me can follow.

Excellent stuff and much appreciated.

[billsmith]

He absolutely positively nailed it. Well done Justin.

[VistarCreative]

I’ve done some calculations and this channel is exactly 1000 times more informative than anything I can find on TV. So happy to come across this.

[andrewfox]

A remarkable discussion on both sides. I can't thank you both enough for such incredible insights. Wow.

[IainJ]

As an ex fighter pilot, this is the most balanced, informative and honest analysis of the current desperate situation in Ukraine..
Superb Mooch !

[superdog]

This man should be hired by every government leader. He is very intelligent, actually knows what is happening and/or what could happen with any next move on the chess board. Fantastic presentation!

[johncashwell]

Justin's analysis is an outstanding example of how to properly analyze any argument or situation. He starts by immediately acknowledging the "emotional knee jerk" reactions/responses to the situation; yes, I would love to see NATO forces enter Ukraine and wipe out Russian forces but here is why that would work against us.... Then he goes on to analyze what's being done now and how its different from anything thats been done before. His arguments are clear, well thought out and articulated, stay true to the facts and he doesn't try to make his opinions of the facts sound like facts themselves. Its very well done.

Here in the UK RUSI is the one stop shop for Military insight. Excellent analysis.

[Leadfoot]

First time viewer. Thanks for the video. Justin is a rock star!

[pbhenry]

What a fascinating discussion. Justin is an encyclopedia of knowledge, and extremely articulate and engaging. I gained a lot of insight from this episode. Thank you both.

[rembratt]

Gotta admit I was one of those arguing it's time to actively defend and establish a NATO no-fly. Justin expertly convinced me I was wrong, and how that's exactly what Putin needs. Thanks!

[SMG]

Justin sure knows his stuff, that last 10 minutes analysis of why the current allied approach can't be further escalated to a no fly zone sounded very credible.

[axiis]

In like 8 minutes at the end he perfectly explained the entire no-fly-zone situation, what an absolute slam-dunk

[MarcosElMalo]

This is worth watching more than once, it’s so densely packed with information.

[MrNicoJac]

FINALLY a smart and eloquent answer on why the MiGs and No Fly Zone are bad.
REALLY glad to now understand it on a MUCH deeper level! :)
