Is whats often referred to as kinetic cyberattacks and that is kinetic cyberattacks can have the same result if carried out against critical infrastructure. for example, as if a bomb was dropped on a location. i mean, imagine a large scale cyber attack which shuts down the hospital or transportation or electricity. this can all lead to deaths and injuries. so, you know, we kind of dont think of cyber that way. but i think as of late we certainly are. charles, weve always talked about the russian...

That are having the biggest effect in stopping russian forces are the javelin anti-tank missiles, stingers, and shoulder-fired missiles. russia has powerful air defense systems on the border with belarus and russia, and mobile units that blanket much of ukraines air space which makes flying any war planes over ukraine difficult right now. anti-aircraft systems would have to be taken out by ukraines air force before it could even fly those migs to any effect. the pentagon says other capabilities ...

We assess that adding aircraft to the ukrainian inventory is not likely to change the effectiveness of the ukrainian air force relative to russian capabilities. therefore we believe that the gain from transferring those mig 29s is low. finally, the intelligence community has assessed the transfer of mig 29s to ukraine may be mistaken as escalatory and could result in russian reaction that could increase the prospects of a military escalation with nato. we also assess the transfer of the mig 29s ...

Was underway? what were you expecting them? then >> we expected the russian forces to be much more capable. in what we call, bringing together the effects of, air land, sea, and special forces. we assume that they would completely shut down the internet, and the cell service across ukraine. im guilty of overestimating their capabilities. i was sure that ukrainian soldiers would fight the war, but im not sure i appreciated the incredible resistance of the ukrainian people. >> cal perry, one thing...

On, general. >> its mathematical. its not emotional. it is mathematical. tas the way they look at warfare. a correlation of forces that dominates the other side will win the war, will win that battle. >> so i want to talk about what the u.s. is doing. they flew b-52 bombers over natos eastern flank today, an exercise with our allies. is the alliance doing this to keep putin from even thinking about pushing into other countries? whats going on here? >> yeah. thats messaging pure and simple what t...

But your position in ukraine is nato is not using it because ukraine, you, are not a member nato, correct? i would say that if ukrainians could stop and resist the russian army, then nato and europe acting stronger will really deter russian aggression further. and i would also mention that nuclear disaster comes not only from nuclear weapons but also from nuclear power plants. we have seen recently the russian army occupied a nuclear power plant in zaporizhzhia, if they drop a bomb there, it wil...

Used by the ukrainian armed forces in the southern mykolaiv region. now, there is some concern around these missiles. they can travel at a lower trajectory, making them hard tore detect and they can evade missile defense systems. that is clearly a concern. but the message we have heard from multiple sources, perhaps using these by the russian forces is to send a message to the west regarding russias military capabilities. and we heard from secretary of defense lloyd austin who says the use of su...

Leaders, despite these very formal surroundings here. emotions are running really high, because of those distressing pictures from ukraine, because eu leaders here are worrying about the economic impact at home for them of this crisis. and of course eu leaders in the east, they are worrying about their security. they simply do not trust vladimir putin. when they talk about boosting defence capabilities, is that an eu army? there are many countries that say, absolutely not, and we do not want to ...

Been a long time and the ukrainian military has put up a great defence and it has stalled this effort to get into kyiv. and into most of the big cities. ukrainian has stood strong. you are right to ask a question about how long can the request for these other weapons systems go on, and the concern is not going away, the concern about the stability and the concern about the stability and the concern about the russian nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction, that is there, so again, p...

Set to begin later this month. she will see john cornyn again. hes on the judiciary committee. and coming up, what intelligence leaders think vladimir putins end game in ukraine actually is, and what else they told senators today about the invasion in the worldwide threats hearing they heard from today. but first, the president just moments ago reminding the ukrainian people that help is on the way during his meeting with the president of colombia. the american people and the entire world ha...
