Russian State TV Admits DEFEAT as Putin LOSES ALL CONTROL

This was the Moscow sky at midday yesterday.The capital of the largest country on earth plunged into darkness in the middle of the afternoon.All because the smoke from a burning oil refinery was thick enough to block out the sun.Unfortunately for little Vladimir though, this wasn't even the worst image to come out of Moscow that day.The worst image was the moment when a Russian air defense missile accidentally shot down a Russian oil depot.Take a look.

The clip broke the internet and it happened on June 18th, when Ukraine launched the largest drone strike on Moscow that the city has ever experienced.But here's what makes this story even bigger.June 18th was not a one -off.It was the largest, but it was something that has been ongoing in Moscow for a very long time.Since June 8th, roughly 12 days ago, Ukraine has been attacking Moscow every single day.They have a kill streak going on and the Russian capital cannot do anything to stop it.

The consequences of this campaign are already starting to show.Putin's closest ally just publicly apologized to Zelensky.And on top of that, the Russian warbloggers are now in an open meltdown.Russian defense officers are panicking, Russian public is panicking, and Putin himself has now basically walled himself off.He's not going to any public event.He's not going to events with fake crowds because he's too afraid to face his own people.

So in this video I want to walk you guys through exactly what's happening inside of the Russian capital right now.How is Ukraine hitting the most defended city in the world for 12 straight days and why Russian air defenses are now hurting Russia more than Ukraine.And then we'll look into why Lukashenko is now abandoning Putin to side with Ukraine and of course how is Putinreacting to all this?Let's start with a number that was shocking even for me.On June 11th, so roughly 10 days ago, Russia's war in Ukraine officially became longer than both WW1 and WW2.

Putin started this thing on February 2022 with a promise that this will only last 3 days, maybe 3 weeks tops.Well guess what, he just finished month 52.This has now been the most expensive, most embarrassing, and most destructive war that Russia has fought in a generation, and it's now longer than two of the worst wars that the world has ever seen.I'm sure Putin did not plan for this, I doubt even Ukraine planned for this because they were not expecting this, and I doubt any other country in the world was planning for this.This is a good reminder that wars are easy to start, especially for dictators, but they are very very hard to end, doesn't matter who you are.This all brings us to June 18th.

when Putin's miscalculations became catastrophic.This is the aftermath of what happened.Some commentators are already saying that this is the moment when historians will look back to and say that this is when the end of the Russian Empire began.Ukraine launched over 900 drones in a single coordinated strike, and Russian air defenses were only able to intercept around 200 of them, which meant more than 700 actually reached their targets in the most defended city on earth.Now we know at least 5 fires were confirmed at Moscow's oil refinery alone, the largest refinery in the region.This was officially the largest drone attack that the Russian capital has ever endured, and the craziest image out of this attack?

Well, that wasn't because of a Ukrainian drone.That was because of a Russian air defense missile.Here's the breakdown of what exactly happened.

In this case, something hitting a tank.And it's clearly a storage tank, it's with other storage tanks, and the whole roof comes off and collapses.That shows you that it's full of fumes, whatever they were, oil fumes, petrol fumes, gas fumes, whatever.We're not interested in this contrail.This is from something quite low down, but whatever that was, was fired several seconds before.Because the contrail is wavy, it's dispersing, that's something that's already gone.

We're interested in this other contrail.Look at that.That contrail is narrow, it's concentrated, it's just been fired, and it's on its way from a low position, somewhere on the ground, on a very low trajectory.Let's just follow it through, and there it goes, straight into where the tank is.It's just possible, of course, that something else might have caused that explosion at that particular moment, but it doesn't seem likely.From all the evidence we can gather, we can't be certain, but it seems as if Now, I don't exactly know what that was.

Was it a Russian S -400 missile, or maybe a man -pad system?I'm not sure, but they were trying to take down a Ukrainian drone, but they took down a Russian OD bullet, and gave us an image that's gonna go down in the history books.Now I'm sure you guys know this thing called the internet where people just love making memes and within hours of this clip being public, internet was filled with memes of Russian oil depots and the image that Ukraine created.Take a look at some of the funniest ones.Here's the original image.I'm pretty sure the original one is a little bit different.

Modified using AI, but you get the picture.And here's the first meme, where Putin is riding the UFO cab, and Zelensky is taking a selfie, like he's on TikTok, and the message says, with love from Zelensky.Next one is Russian leaders, Lavrov, Medvedev, and Putin alljust flying away peacefully from Russia while the city burns.The next one is Putin's head exploding because the war isn't exactly going how he wanted.And this is maybe the favorite one.

This is a remake of the movie poster, the Independence Day movie, I think that's what it was called.And the Russian words say basically, action, nothing is boring.And in the background, we have the image of everything getting blown up and coming soon to theaters near you.That's the one.And then of course there are a bunch of memes that you can see on your screen right now.Let us know which one is your favorite down in the comments.

But for now, let's continue because this wasn't the only blunder that Russian air defenses made.It was a very hectic day for them and unfortunately, Moscow is a very populated city.In fact, I think it's the biggest city in Europe.all of Europe.It has 13 million people and on top of that a lot of Chinese tourists always go to Moscow on a regular basis.So there were a lot of people recording a lot of things and they caught some stuff relating to Russian air defenses that I'm sure Putin did not want the world to see.

So guess what?Let's take a look together.As you know this was the biggest attack the city has ever gone through in history and on top of that Moscow has been getting attacked for 12 days now consecutively.Ukraine has some kind of kill streak going on.So let's look at how the Russian public is reacting.First we have a Moscow resident expressing in plain Russian what we have been saying on this channel for last 4 years now.

Russia F'd around and now Russia is finding out.I think that's the infamous equation of physics or something.Einstein came up with it, and now Putin is learning about it in real time.Take a look at this message.

Holy shti, look.Everything's on fire over there.The whole plant has been blown to pieces, the entire f***ing thing.Missiles just keep hitting it, and there are still more coming in.Guess we f***ed around and found out, as they say.

And then we have another clip from a Moscow resident who's trying to sleep in the middle of the day, but the drones are just making it so hard to get some good sleep.Take a look at this clip.

Good morning.Just now four explosions.This is just...I'm just in shock.Nikita even says to me, why don't you just try to get some sleep?Just what is happening?

I hear them.They flew just now.Probably I saw 10 drones this morning.Just look at this fucking mess, girls.What is there?There are a few spots there, too.

Look, behind this gray one is another one.Black.Here at the refinery alone, probably five hit.I don't understand why they don't shoot them down.They fly for a very long time.

Now let's shift our focus to Russian war bloggers.These are the people who supported the war when it started and they've been trying to spin every news for a living.They try to spin every news that comes out of the war to frame it as how Russia is winning.Unfortunately though, I think this attack was just so massive that they could not figure out how to spin this into a positive news.So they are panicking too.Take a look.

Russian military bloggers are melting down.One of them is writing and I quote, Tehran is safer than Moscow.I was not expecting that but nonetheless the most revealing post actually comes from a blogger called fighter bomber This guy is one of the largest pro -war telegram channels in Russia.He's also connected very closely with the Russian Air Force So he often gets information from the military that he publishes and sometimes he even speaks for the Air Force in unofficial ways officially like Not always, but sometimes he puts out a statement for the air force.That's how close he is with the Kremlin and people who are running this war.And now he's losing his mind.

But unfortunately, he was forced to delete this message.So it is a bit revealing that he's not really letting his true thoughts just out in the public eye.Take a listen to what he said before he deleted it.An air defense system has been built around the city that is unrivaled anywhere in the world.Now I don't know if you can use that word because again US was just at war with Iran and I did not see any air defineries getting taken down by drones.So I don't know if Moscow's air defense is unrivaled.

I think whatever US had going on worked.But anyways let's continue.It doesn't matter how many millions of targets your air defenses have shot down.If the facility they are protecting is hit, that means the enemy has correctly calculated the forces and assets needed to hit the target, and you have it.Moreover, the cost ratio between anti -aircraft missiles and drones today is such that the drone attackers win purely economically even if they don't hit anything.But in this situation, they are actually hitting the refineries.

Now, in a second, I do want to go over exactly how Ukraine is doing this, because we have a lot of good information coming out.And it's important to remember that something literally changed over the past two weeks, because Ukraine has been able to hit Moscow consecutively for the past 12 days.So let's go over exactly what Russia is missing and what Ukraine is taking advantage of.But before we do that, I do want to cover rest of the meltdown that Russian warbloggers are having because not just on Telegram, even on Russian TV people are losing their minds and of course this next guy I'm sure you guys have seen.He's Solovoy.We have covered him a lot on this channel because he regularly puts out just war crime related content against Ukrainian citizens on a regular basis.

Well now you can tell by his face that he's just not having a good time because of the Ukrainian attack.Take a look.

War is a test of long -term resolve.It's a long -term resolve.Don't panic, analyze the situation instead, and be worthy of the deeds of our grandfathers and great -grandfathers.This is precisely the moment to ask ourselves, can we repeat what our forefathers achieved?And if the answer is yes, then there are many things we need to understand.We need to understand many things, prepare ourselves for hardship, be ready for self -sacrifice and seek support in our own souls and in the history of our families.

And what other options do we have?

And then there is Medvedev, the drunk former Russian president and current Security Council member.And that's important because I usually just call him the former president because he is crazy and that was the highest position he has ever held.But even to this day, he's a very powerful person inside of Russia.He reports directly to Putin on a regular basis.He is part of this council, the Security Council, which is a very high body inside of the Russian government.So this is someone who has power inside of a government that's at war and take a look at what he's saying.

He went public and he's just going crazy.There can no longer be any rules when dealing with Kiev.The only remaining limit in the war against Ukraine is that civilians must not be deliberately targeted and the hate convention on law and customs are no longer needed.Now let me explain what he truly means because this is kind of crazy coming from someone who has real power inside of the Russian government.First of all, the Hague Convention doesn't really talk about the civilians, that's the Geneva Convention.The Hague Convention really focuses on the means and the methods of the war as to what you can use, and it basically prohibits using like poison or gas, anything biological, those kind of stuff you cannot use.

It also talks about not hitting cultural sites, something like a church that Russia just attacked a few days ago, and now justfew days after that attack, which Russia officially denies by the way, we have the head of the Security Council, a former president, saying publicly, hey, we're not going to follow the hate conventions anymore.Now, this is telling a bit, but in all honesty, like technically speaking, it doesn't really matter because Russia hasn't been following that anyway all this time, but now we can hear publicly Russia from someone who's probably involved in decision making process of this war say that, hey, we're just not gonna follow any rules.We're gonna go after.everyone and anyone we can.And this is something Russia has done already, right?

Every time they suffer on the front lines, they go after civilians.Every time there's an attack in Moscow, a refinery gets taken down, they go after civilians.But now we actually have confirmation from Medvedev himself.I'm sure he was drunk when he made it.That's the excuse he's gonna use.But nonetheless, here we have it, how Russia actually operates.

Now let's shift to the main question.How is Ukraine actually doing this?Why is Moscow so undefended?You know, a city which Putin cares a lot about.Now, of course, the Ukrainian side is not going to give out any secrets, nor should they.That's how wars operate.

That's how countries operate in war.But there are multiple explanations coming from experts.There are some explanations coming from Western experts from here, United States and Europe.And then, of course, Russians are also trying to figure out how Ukraine is doing.And I actually want to look at both of them because it provides us kind of a complete picture as to exactly what's happening.So let's start with the Western analysis.

Now, just an important note here, by the way, it was Russia who first started using drones.in this war.They started it back in October 2022 when they started buying Iranian -made Sahed drones and using them against Kiev, basically sending it into the city as like a mass drone attack to overwhelm their defenses.And guess what?Now, a few years after Russia started it, Russia is getting a taste of its own medicine.Ukraine has been able to do something that Russia did not expect, at least they did not expect it to happen so quickly, and that is basically Ukraine scaled up their drone productions.

Russia knew Ukraine is using drones, they didn'tthey could use that many of them that quickly.Ukraine is going up roughly 10 % in their production every single month.That compounds very quickly.That means every seven to, I think every seven to eight months, the production is doubling.Last year, Ukraine produced around 4 million drones.

If the 10 % number holds, which it is unlikely to hold in the longterm, but if it holds, Ukraine can probably make like 8, 6 million, 8 million drones this year.And that's something that's important because, again, doesn't matter what kind of air defenses Russia has, it's impossible to stop everything.But on top of just the production, Ukraine is also doing a lot more.On the Ukrainian side, since Ukraine has been dealing with these drone attacks from the beginning, they have built up a system that's relatively cheap and pretty effective compared to the system that Russia has stopping these drones.Now, we have made a dedicated video as to how this Ukrainian system works.They have a bunch of different pieces working together in one cohesive unit.

First of all, they have like tens of thousands of acoustic sensors all across the border.And these acoustic sensors are basically high up in the sky, and they just listen.They listen for a drone.And as soon as they see or they hear a drone, the signal is sent directly to some command center in Kiev that's coordinating with a bunch of different teams.So Ukraine has bunch of different ways of taking down a drone as soon as they spot one.They have some people on the ground in a pickup truck with like a machine gun that can shoot it down.

They have people sitting in a helicopter who are ready to take off as soon as they get the go ahead.Hey, there's a drone near you, go shoot it down.They also have people in like those old school jets from like the Soviet times where one pilot is flying the jet, the other pilot is with a machine gun just going to take down the drone.So they have these systems that work together.So it's not just like, oh, the guy is just looking in the sky, hoping for a drone.then he starts working.

No, they have acoustic systems, they have the command center that's like coordinating all this and that's very effective.Russia didn't really have that, they're really dependent on like just people with machine learning.guns and those bigger radars and air defenses they have.And main reason Russia doesn't have this cheap cohesive system is because they didn't really need it until the end of last year.Ukraine wasn't really hitting Russia at scale.So they could get by with just using these bigger machineries because it was enough.

Now that Ukraine is producing so much more drones, it's not enough, and Russia is trying to figure out a way, a system, quickly, to stop these drone attacks, but that system is not as well put together as the Ukrainian one is.And this is something Russian bloggers are pointing out, Russian experts are pointing out.Now, so that's why let's shift to the Russian explanation as to how Ukraine is able to do this, because that also gives us some information.According to this Russian drone maker, whose name is Alexey Chadaev, he's saying there are a lot of, like, personal deficiencies in Russia.Big reason Russia is failing so horribly right now is not equipment, it's incompetency.That's what he's saying.

He says that Russia has systems, Russia has radars or Russia has other equipments like the ones the Ukrainians are using, but no one has actually put it together into one big system that can coordinate all the different pieces.Meaning there is a radar guy who's watching for drones.But first of all, that guy is not skilled enough to adjust the radar for the drones because drones fly a lot lower than let's say a missile so you have to adjust the radar to figure out if you can spot a drone or not and on top of that let's say that guy is able to figure it out there's no system where he can give this information to someone who can coordinate with other teams to take out the drone very quickly like the one Ukrainians have.Then on top of that Russia also has these mobile teams similar to the ones that Ukraine has where people are sitting on pickup trucks with machine guns but since Russia cuts down the internet or or cuts down the mobile internet.These teams don't really have communications with other teams.So these guys are basically going, going, like they're just looking for drones and shooting it down.

They're not like getting a message.Hey, there's a drone coming.from this direction look out or there's a drone coming from this direction now since these guys don't have communication There's also like a psychological part that creates a problem meaning when they're trying to take down a drone that's in front of them They're always worried about a drone behind them that can take them out which also is creating a problem Which again not my words this is coming from a Russian drone maker who's saying that hey a lot of our issues are not equipment issues they are competency issues, like we need to figure out a system where this all works.So it's interesting to learn this from the Russian side too.That's something the Western analysts have been saying all this time, but even a Russian analyst now is saying the same thing.Russian army has a lot more of a problem with just being good instead of like, oh, they don't have some equipment or they don't have some gun or bullets or something like that.

Now we shift our focus to Lukashenko because guess who's looking at all this?The Belarusian dictator.And he's starting to realize that maybe he's picking the wrong ally in this war.So he's trying to, you know, make good with Zelensky.Take a listen to what he just said.He's saying, Hey, if I ever said something to Zelensky that offended him, I apologize.

I don't want war with Ukraine.

He said that publicly, take a listen.But when they started threatening me, I was forced to answer.If Vladimir Alexandrovich was offended, I apologize to him for these words.Maybe I shouldn't have, considering that he is still fighting.Maybe I shouldn't have spoken about it so harshly.But on the other hand, he must understand that we often speak, sing, and perform funeral rites.

Therefore, you need to be more careful and cautious.Moreover, he understands perfectly well, I emphasize once again, that there is no point in expecting any military action from Belarus, and especially from me.From the first days of the war, I suggested to him how to reach an agreement, how to make peace.

" Now, of course, Zelensky did not accept this apology.He basically told Lukashenko that, hey,we don't really care for what side you're on.All you have to do is stop helping Russia kill Ukrainian civilians.And Ukraine points out specific examples.Zelensky says that, hey, you have equipment, you give Russia radar access, you give Russia your airspace access, and Russia is using all this to send in drones and missiles to Ukraine.

So if you stop this, we will have no problems.And if you don't stop this, well, guess what?Ukraine now basically has unlimited drones.That means Ukraine can take care of the problem itself.

Take a listen.We don't currently have such a strong front where Ukraine and Belarus meet.They are killing civilians there.There are transmitters on the relevant towers.Can he remove this?What are the words for that he doesn't want to be in the war?

Let him remove this equipment.Let him turn off this equipment.I think a week will be enough for him to do this.Because why do I say a week?Because right now, every day, because of this, our civilians are dying.Children are wounded.

If he doesn't do this, we will.

Now our last story is about a weapon that many analysts are calling the Great Equalizer.This is a new Ukrainian weapon that Ukraine did not have until now, but Russia has been using to destroy Ukrainian cities.And of course, this weapon is a glide bomb.Russia has been using these glide bombs that they had from Soviet times.Ukrainians did not have this until now.Now that's something we'll be covering in detail exclusively for our members.
