they do have 23 and 53-millimeter those that are an effective response also a portable system intended to be used against low-flying ellen - jones and helicopters and they could use the patriot missile system for those rockets i think the number is much higher than that. kevin: much higher anytime a number is floated out into the public those on the ground have a much larger number than that. if i m not mistaken based on our conversations even informally on - informally thank you have some experience in know more about the russians than the average person who hasn t spent 22 years in the military. what can you tell me about
problems inside the russian military. building upon the last segment. the reports coming out of belarus. you see the 40-mile long convoy of the unwilling stalled outside of moscow. troops not getting out of their carriers. food note being delivered. russian forces handing information over to the ukrainians. and now syrians. this paints a picture of a russian military that had a big plan for a rapid campaign and now that plan is falling apart. anita: reports suggest the high numbers of russian casualties has been a huge blow to moscow. we keep hearing that putin is isolated and out of touch. do you think he has people
ukraine. i wants to talk to you about the support for the ukraine. what difference is it making? we have seen the ukrainian forces standing up to this overwell with manying russian force. what difference has it made, the aid from the u.s. and other nations have been funneling to ukraine. since the russian invasion of crimea. making a big difference? i do think so. in particular looking at it from a extra tee jim perspective and the training the nato forces have given the drnian military is one of the major things that has allowed the the ukrainians to stage such a stand against the russian army.
cannot let go of our own defenses don t think for a second poland is not concern for their own safety and sovereignty on their frontier. so very quickly about the russian military we had a guest on earlier that says they seem awfully disorganized. we thought they would be a very precise military but is not what we are seeing. what are you hearing about that? i was very concerned they would embarrass themselves on the battlefield military folks would understand more that russian army isn t what it purports it to be but the danger is that when they fail they turn to the civilians for accent violence for the result of their failure. anita: that is exactly what we are seeing thank you for coming in today for your time and expertise.
