The Russian military has become infinitely smarter in countering the US-supplied weapons being used by Ukraine, according to Erik Prince, the founder and former CEO of the private military company Blackwater.
Erik Prince has disputed the effectiveness of the American weapons used by Ukraine in the conflict. Speaking at Hillsdale College on Saturday, Prince also expressed skepticism over claims that the Russian army has been significantly weakened in the conflict.
The thing that the Russians are very good at is electronic warfare, emphasizing that advanced American weaponry, such as Javelin missiles, HIMARS, and Copperhead guided artillery shells, often become ineffective within weeks.
It works for a week or two, and the Russians figure how to jam the navigation or the command link, and the stuff goes blind. Prince also pushed back against assertions that the Russian forces have been significantly weakened.
First of all, don’t listen to the idiot politicians that say, yeah, we’ve degraded the Russian army. No, we have chewed up a lot of material. The Russian army has gotten infinitely smarter.
He pointed to the rapid improvements in Russian counter-artillery capabilities, contrasting the response time between early 2022 and now. If you shot at a Russian, with artillery in March or April of 2022, it would take them an hour and a half to shoot back accurately.
Now, about two minutes, which means if you shoot at them, you better be in your vehicle and hauling ass because they’re going to get you otherwise.
The Russian Defense Ministry provides regular updates on the destruction of Western-donated equipment such as HIMARS and ATACMS missile launchers in Ukraine. Since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, the USA has been Kiev’s largest weapons supplier.
After US President Donald Trump took office in January, he has made peace in Ukraine one of his top priorities and criticized the administration of former President Joe Biden for spending billions of American taxpayer dollars supporting the Kiev junta.
Trump briefly suspended military aid and intelligence sharing following a public dispute with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky at the White House in February. However, the assistance was restored after Kiev agreed to support a 30-day ceasefire with Moscow.
Moscow has repeatedly warned that Western military aid merely extends the hostilities but will not alter the conflict’s outcome and risks a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO.

This is a rare admission! .“If you shot at a Russian, with artillery in March or April of 2022, it would take them an hour and a half to shoot back accurately. Now, about two minutes, which means if you shoot at them, you better be in your vehicle and hauling ass because they’re going to get you otherwise.” Most likely the reason Trump wants to end the war since winning is impossible! Also the fact that he warned Zelensky in 2019 «I hope you meet President Putin so that you can solve your problem, that’ll be a tremendous achievement»… Read more »
The main reason Trump wants ceasefire is because he sees Russia winning. Otherwise he would’ve helped Ukraine massacre and loot Russia just as he does with Israel against Palestinians
I read sometime in the past that there was a vast gas reserve off the coast of Gaza. You don’t hear about it anymore but I’m sure they would never say anything.
Yes it extends into Lebanon that’s one reason the reason Israel has refused to leave 5 areas of Lebanon saying “they wont leave ” just like the Golan Heights that belongs to Syria .
Lebanon claims its their territory but Israel is bent on “Greater Israel “.
West Bank, used to belong to Jordan, Gaza to Egypt and Golan Heights to Syria but got confiscated by the Zionist entity for different purposes, the most important one is fresh mountain water feeding the Jordan River (Lebanon) and Euphrates River (Syria) and maybe also the Tigris River (Iraq) or Nile River (*Sinai/Egypt).
