As a Finn the question "Are you ready to fight for your country?" equals "Are you ready to fight against someone who kills Finns in Finland?". We have a defence force. Even career soldiers can decline to serve abroad! This kind of explains the world record level eagerness to personnaly take part in defence.

30:45 - the Serbians shot “one” stealth fighter-bomber down, as Chieftain said they’d flown the same mission route multiple times. The F-117 was radar invisible except when on an attack run over its target with its bomb-bay open. The SAM commander broke SOP to get missile lock based on real-time intelligence that this flight was operating without its escorts due to bad weather. These Prowler escorts usually provided SAM suppression, jamming & threat detection for the F-117.

Its similar to the reports of cruise missiles downed by Manpads in Ukraine. Its perfectly feasible, but only if you can predict exactly when & where the target will be coming and are prepared.

Ukraine's logistics are helped by the fact that it is directly connected with Poland and thus the entire can have foreign specialists and ''helpers'' just across the Polish border helping them sort out and fix all those million different vehicles and what not. It's a unique advantage most armies will never have, the entire ''Europe'' has their back

The very first shot - Bernhardt soo enthusiastic and Germanic - Nick so laid back and Oirish, made me smile. This video is fantastic proof that collaborations between different, but equally expert and charismatic, fellahs are a force multiplier. We learn as they do too.

[wsollers]

The only thing that this war highlighted was that armies that do not train in a combined arms manner cannot engage effectively in a combined arms strategy. Training and logistics matter.

Hearing Bernard pronounce the Iroquois word Ticonderoga is worth watching by itself. Great video guys!!

Regarding "smartphone has no place on battlefield" - this reminded me of the "Security, Usability, Functionality" triangle, in which you can't reach one without sacrificing somewhat the other/s.
Interesting discussion, thank you for the work.

The drones is like the first aircraft in WWI. First scouting then caring amountions. Then specialisation and countermeasurements.

[tcurtisjohnson]

I love that not only did both of you recall the exact same DS9 scene, it turned out to be the one I thought it would be as soon as "Star Trek" was mentioned in that context. Just goes to show that good content is good content, and good content gets remembered! Keep it up, both Bernhard and Nick; the world can use all the good content it can get, and yours is among the best.

[gerthddyn]

I love that you brought up Harpoon. The original was one of my favorite games when I was a kid.

[GRWiley]

He's referring to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode entitled "The Siege of AR-558." Loved how The Chieftain immediately knew the episode.

[Zencer]

The fact you both like (or atleast watched) Star Trek is very cool. I did not expect a DS9 reference in a video titled about Ukraine

[eddiecharles]

Awesome seeing 2 experts of this calibre in one video and the reference of Quark talking to Nogg about humans just made it even more profound.

[katfrog]

Each of you are great on your own, but what a treat it is whenever you are together! Thank you. Yes, the more things change the more they remain the same.

[FulkNerraIII]

The fact you bought up a DS9 reference and Chieftain knew exactly what you were talking about made my day. I thought Chieftain was sitting there clueless and confused, but nope he even knew which character said it. As a huge DS9 fan and a military history buff it was cool to seem the crossover.

[davidcorriveau]

Logistics, Logistics, Logistics...from Caesar to Battlestar Galactica an immutable that never changes.

[BM-bpkp]

"That was Quark talking to Nog, DS9" = instant thumbs up. It feels so nice to know im in good company.

[fredorman]

It’s so good to listen to people who know their subject.

13:35 to 14:00 = I had a friend that served in the US Army just after WW2. He ended up in Germany. He commented that the German soldiers could walk in lockstep with very little training, like it was 2nd nature to them. US Army soldiers however had difficulty to do the same. When you mentioned the Peruvian Army having difficulty marching in lockstep, that memory came back to me.
