Launched a new offensive. it is very different from the offensive that it launched a year ago. so one year ago, russia invaded this country. after denying that it was going to invade, even though it had tens of thousands of troops on the border, then, of course, it did invade. but the initial russian invasion was a kind of blitzkrieg. it was an attempt to overwhelm the country with helicopter assaults, air strikes, an attempt to capture the capital kyiv. mostly it failed. and for the last year, ...

Fire from six wing aircraft jets, helicopter assaults too, a whole bunch of helicopters coming in. they depend on that not only for transporting troops but also for delivering weapons. you would see a scene from "saving private ryan" on steroids along the coast in the sea. and thats, i anticipate that might be one of the next steps that mr. putin might execute. >> pretty chilling thoughts. general mark hertling, thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you, john. >> next, im going to ask ru...

Some helicopter assaults but we have not seen, at least as far as im aware, the full-on tank-to-tank battles that could be coming quite soon. i think we will have to see what happens then when the ukrainians are not just facing airstrikes at military facilities on the outskirts of cities but when they are facing the full brunt of a russian ground offensive. but many soldiers i have spoken to are committed. they do want to fight. they realize that their nation is at stake. vladimir putin made it ...

Killed today. 300 wounded. by all accounts they seemed pretty accurate. remember, these missiles got to test firing in syria in 2015 when the russians deployed forces there. president obama at the time said the russian forces would end up in a quagmire, really a testing facility if you will for the russian forces. in fact, when the russians invaded georgia in 2008, they used about half the troops they used to invade this country today and the results were not great. there is a lot of friendly fi...

Situps, a five-mile run in 40 minutes, a 12-mile foot march in three hours, parachute jumps, helicopter assaults and 27 days of mock combat patrols. >> i want to take a hard look at all that and make sure that the standards are being met. there is no doubt in my mind that women can engage in ground combat with enemies of our nation because theyve done it. >> reporter: since 9/11 more than 150 military women have died and more than 1,000 wounded, assigned to operations in the war zones. many will...
