Sophisticated ground support, getting the ordnance in there to arm them, they would probably be immensely better off with armed drones out of turkey, france, the uk, the u.s. everybodys got them. thats a capability that would make a huge, immediate difference. they can be hid, they can be operated by small numbers of people without much training. having said that, look, the big deal to me is that the u.s. has organized cross border resupply of ukrainian armed forces. im surprised they were able ...

Will see it through until the end. the russians insisted peace is possible through talks. as benjamin said it doesnt seem likely at this point. apparent change from wednesday the russians are speaking less about the potential need for nuclear weapons. we heard from defense secretary austin says he is comfortable with americas nuclear capability but does not want this conversation focused on such weapons of mass destruction. >> the rhetoric about the employment of nuclear weapons is dangerous and...

A movie, looks like a real video of zelensky surrendering. do not believe it. what do you think of the approach on that? >> classic putin play beep. deep fakes are dangerous. with the development of artificial intelligence and other types of technology, they have achieved, the russians, the capability where its virtually impossible to differentiate what is real and what is fake. that is, again, very dangerous. lets say putin and his information warfare warriors spread out some disinformation not...

Drones -- the drones. >> and you said anti-aircraft, youve got your own ground launch systems? what kind of systems are you looking at? >> at the top of the chain, top of the line. we need something that will allow us that will cup up to 40 meters. also much higher altitude. and the particulars i discuss with your military as well. >> it is the discussion to try and discussion capability from air to surface? >> absolutely. >> on that capability, theres assistance coming in all the time. how conc...

Effort still under way to get that system, but other soviet era missile systems, these are all surface to air mobile systems that have an altitude range low and medium altitude, not as high an altitude as the s-300, but a greater altitude, it allows the ukrainian military to hit targets at a higher altitude than the shoulder fired stinger missiles weve been talking a lot about in recent weeks. so this would be once these get into the country, and im told that they have been sourced and are on th...

Every attack they have found. some forces are moving, theyre moving at a snails pace. theyre still not getting the resupplies they need to conduct an attack. they do not have what the russians normally have which is a second echelon after the first echelon reaches that culmination, their doctrine is to push a second echelon forward and resupply it on the move while it goes into the fight. they have not done that. they dont have the capability for doing that. so, what i truly believe -- oh, by th...
