Canadas had repair shops for Rosnhell equipment in Ukraine for almost a year now. Long before anyone else
-
Best Ukraine update channel on YouTube.
-
Go to The Duran
-
Contractor pilots for the F-16s would be very useful.

Guys, I have been diligently following this podcast for over a year and still find it by far the most informative and well put together of all UKR-war related sources out there. Keep up the amazing work! It’s much appreciated.

Maintainers are needed in every aspect of warfare by civilian contractors, we can start with M777 Howitzers, M1, M2, Abrams and Bradleys, Crew served weapons platforms and individual weapons need to be cleaned and maintained. The F16's, will need the bulk of the support on the ground. But all systems need maintenance.

Thanks again gentlemen 👍 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘💪
-
MH17 had many Australian passengers too
-
As a US Contract worker myself I would look forward to that opportunity. Frontline service roles are what folks focus on, but modern war is driven by an enormous logistical & support footprint, and that in going to be important, particularly when looking at the short-to-longterm reshaping of the Ukrainian military into a NATO standard fighting force capable of securing Europe from future Russian aggression. Aircraft especially need pretty substantial technical support functions a mile long.

War is lost. Surrender and save lifes. Lies are not gonna save Ukraine. Check the Duran.
-
Those F-16's are going to need a good ground crew to keep them flying. It's good Joe is letting private military contractors go to Ukraine.
-
Hello from Florida, USA. Love your show.
-
Great Show 🫡🇺🇸👍🏻
-
It was/is not a “61 billion drawdown” for Ukraine. Far from it. Easily researched. Poor if not intentionally deceptive “reporting” to characterize the aid package passed by Congress.
-
What happened to US/Chilean journalist Gonzalo Lira inside democratic Ukraine?
-
Am hearing so much progress being made by Ukraine...can Dom help us zoom out the map of the battlefield and we see how much territory has been liberated since the 61 billion was unleashed
-
With regard to the downing of the Russia IL 76 allegedly containing 65 Ukrainian POWs, ask Russia to produce the names of those being repatriated. Surely the massive bureaucracy has these passenger manifests in several places.
-
is the power station another RBMK style reactor, or a safer reactor design?
-
Francis Dearnley, if I may: the correct word is "materiel", (French). Not "material".
-
Listening almost daily from California. I really appreicate your daily coverage and tidbits I wouldn't hear anywhere else. Also enjoy the personal stories/reporting, and commentes/thoughts from viewers and professionals. Great interview with Jens, hope the new guy is just as good or better.
