Kursk incursion ‘not hurting Russia as much as hoped’ says Professor Michael Clarke

Ukraine’s incursion into Russian territory in Kursk is “hurting Russia but not as much as Ukraine hoped for”, Professor Michael Clarke tells Sky News.

Sky’s military and defence analyst says Russia has responded to Kursk with airstrikes across Ukraine which “fit into a pattern”. He also examines the significance of President Zelenskyy’s cabinet reshuffle.

  1. Kursk has been a shame to Rusia but not affecting much strategically. They had to engage reserves but also Ukraine has reserves fighting along the frontline. Also Ukraine never captured the nuclear power plant which is the only valuable asset they could have gotten

  2. Sky news what happened to the so called defensive alliance nato…. All equipment used by your man zelensky invading russia are western military equipment… Nato involved in Ukraine which is outside of nato n now nato military equipment inside russia…

  3. Zelensky and his desperation trying to take on Russia. Why not stick to the Minsk II Agreement, he would not have been in this mess. Zelensky also should have told his western backers this isn't going to work, maybe he did but the US/UK wanted to get rid of obsolete military equipment and get money (loan) for all the so called military aid. Who knows, Clarke certainly doesn't.

  4. U dont say. It was a propaganda move. This man knows this but just towing the medias line. Its unwinnable and costing so many lives . Once enough destruction isdone that blackrock thinks is enough then they will tell politicians to stop it. Then they will build it up again andmake billions and then basically control ukraine

  5. Ukraine has been attacking 2 Nuclear Power Stations, can't really get any more reckless than that no?
    Its clear they have ZERO chance of beating Russia so Scorched Earth or False Flag their only options other than defeat at this point.

  6. Shocker who would of thought it. Poltova by the way had Nato mercenaries including Swedes and note the Swedish FM resigned post the attack !

  7. Ukraine is highly welcomed to come attrite themselves in the Kursk pocket, losing faster due to lack of fortifications, trenches, and soon there'll be fall rains to muddy the ground to complicate long supply lines. Next comes winter. But they can't retreat, as it would hurt Ukraine morale and Zelensky's political points (Zelensky would look stupid)

  8. ukraine is now stuck in a quagmire surrounded and being attacked from all sides and rasputitsa and winter just a month or so away….its a disaster!!! its the dumbest military strategy they could have done!!

  9. The western experts have been lying from day one
    We have people who have never been to Russia and don’t even know one word in Russian but sit on TV offering expert insight into the war
    They have been used for propaganda and now the chickens are coming home to roost

  10. It's amusing watching western media trying to convince Ukraine is winning? Ukrainians are fantastic fighters and the Russians would be the first to admit it. However, it's criminal that the western media lying to encourage the brave Ukrainians (bar the puppet nato Zelensky) to keep on sacrificing their lives. Surrender Donbas, go to the negotiating table without NATO, US and EU and the war stops. Learn from history how the evil British Empire used divide and conquer strategies in Asia, Africa, New Zealand etc.

  11. I'm late to this video but it's a great example of a so called expert stating the obvious. The Kursk Bulge was never going to have the desired effect. Clearly the Russian Staff College actually teaches military history.

  12. Sorry but the famous Blitz was about destroying homes and infrastructure as much as destroying Military facilities. The fire bombing of Dresden was designed to do the same thing. Russia is doing nothing new. The Kursk Bulge is just a meat grinder with valuable men and equipment not available on the front line. . It is only a side show.

  13. This man is a bufoon. Kursk is an unmitigated disaster for Ukraine. Some of their best brigades are holed up in a patch of strategically useless forest. This adventure has failed. 9000 dead and some 75 tanks plus other armour lost already. Costly PR stunt with no discernible gain.

  14. Russia won this war . Zelensky will send Ukrainian women, older MEN ,The Homeless( homeless Polish MEN , young Ukrainian teenagers Eskimos Bolivians Aborigines then ,He will take his money and gold ,private plane and escape to Los Angeles

  15. I think the Kursk offensive is not finished yet. There is a lot of terrain to west of the current area that is out of supply by a river blocking resupply of Russian troops.
    Also the average waterfall in winter in Kursk is not heavy so less mud so maybe a Winter offensive could happen which could surprised the Russians.

  16. Poltava was a military training facility with electronic warfare expert mercenaries from Sweden. Yeah, experts in electronic warfare, but unattached from Swedish military, Rightt??? Well, unfortunately they’re going back to Sweden in body bags, Oh Well………

  17. Do these sky news chumps get it right often. The few clips ive been unfortunate enough to endure are rediculous and i find myself wondering why they cant find a convincing lier atleast. Come on its not like they dont get the practice so get it together

  18. I know these people have to say this propaganda, but I hope they do not actually believe it themselves or their delusions will put us all in danger.
