Rock Rachon 17.11.22
Guests: Clément Charpentreau, Giedrimas Jeglinskas, Matthew Tyrmand
In today's program we talked to the former Assistant Secretary-General for Executive Management of NATO Mr Giedrimas Jeglinskas about the war in Ukraine from the perspective of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and how the Atlantic order is dominant and crucial to Ukraine's victory. We also spoke with military aviation, defense and aviation security specialist Clément Charpentreau about the air operations over Ukraine and how shooting down 60-70 Russian ballistic missiles proves that Ukraine has developed significant air defense capabilities. We also spoke about the attack on the Russian Engels airbase...

Poland is doing a great job for Ukraine. Cheers from the United States.
@Nacionalist What nonsense! Poland supplied Ukraine with 300 tanks and many other equipment. In proportion to the size of the country, it is No. 1 in helping Ukraine!

I really do appreciate the in depth analysis of what may be going on behind the scenes over there.
Over here in America, we are hard pressed to get anything more than a simplistic 30 second sound bite about what the possible reasoning and strategies of all the major players are in this conflict. And while I realize that TVP has a somewhat partisan view of the situation, it's still the best source for a pretty fair assessment of what is going on.
Thank you for your work on this.
Ukrainian fighting heroism and technical ingenuity is amazing these people are gaining admiration globally each day 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👏

@Texas Ray People think the war started in 2022 that's how deranged and disinfomred they are.
Ukraine has all the rights for counter attacks. Note: they are not attacking civilians.
thye kiil donebass civilians everydays since 2014 and they still shelling villages where there are no soldeirs there.
My respect is growing for Ukraine.
@Zizla🦁 nope
@Zizla🦁 Donbass was invaded with unknown and not signed Russian individuals in 2014 really. They even shot a passenger plane.
I love this guy! Without a doubt, this is the most solid, insightful, truthful, and non biased reporting I’ve heard in a long time.
@sebskyy Possibly another Russian Orc ( arguement seeking ) ? Slava Ukraine !
@Pat I never said you did. I was referring to the op.
@Boaty McBoatface did I ever?
The Polish airmen in the Battle of Britain were biased in the extreme?
@Pat And there's nothing wrong with that- just dont pretend it's unbiased.
We are watching from Florida, U.S.A. . We send our prayers to the people of Ukrain and wish for a quick victory or end to the war. We feel terible for your losses hopefully my country will give you the weapons you need to end this ASAP !
Greetings from northern Floridians.
Thanks yanks🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇲
Greetings from Fla, USA!
This Lithuanian NATO /Former defense Minister understanfs this topic intimately . When you go to Independence rallies (when countries were freed from Soviet Union ) like Lithuania's 2018 Centennial , you see so many Ukranian flags supporting freedom . It's the world's turn to understand that this is a repeat of history and support Ukraine .
This is a very insightful analysis by the TVP World guest. The French journalist is correct. Even though the strikes inside Russian territory are not declared publicly, the only way to stop the shelling of power facilities in Ukraine is to disable the sources wherever they are.

Thank you for providing an Eastern European perspective in English! We need more voices like this to counter the ridiculous notion that Russia will behave itself without brute force being applied. The Russian governments throughout history have NEVER demonstrated a willingness to be reasonable or peaceful. The only language they understand is blunt aggression. From Ottawa, Canada!

@Andrey Ef. You don't know if I don't monitor your sources. BTW, i read Konsomolska (Niet)Pravda as we spee. Lol. . You know nothing about me, and you are still making assumptions. It's like your government - keep making allegations without a single proof. Keep Going.
@Andrey Ef. Give me proof of the alleged 8 years of bombing and shelling. Proofs, not Konsomolska Pravda articles.
@Andrey Ef. Запорожской .... funny you have mentioned this place. First of all, you are not supposed to be there like in other places in Ukraine.
@Furriee , так и вы тоже только общие слова говорите, без конкретных фактов и доказательств, которыми тут сложно обмениваться без внешних ссылок. Наверняка вы мало мониторите оригинальные российские первоисточники, поэтому и не в курсе иной информации , кроме подаваемой вашими СМИ , на основе проукраинских источников.
Когда смотрю западные официальные СМИ, там полно фейков и лжи, много раз видел кадры обстрелов с украинской стороны , например в Донецке, которые у вас подавали как результаты ударов со стороны России. А уж обстерлы Запорожской АЭС, охраняемой Росгвардией, которые выдавались за обстрелы нашими же войсками, и "представители МАГАТЭ не говорили откуда прилетает", это просто полное дно.
И таких примеров за 8 лет очень много, про которые у вас молчали , и обвиняли лишь Россию.
Поэтому, мы не считаем нужным оправдываться перед теми, кто не желал ничего замечать столько лет, и покрывал нацистов, и не хочет знать правду.
Informative and presented in an entertaining way. Very interested to know how Ukraine repurposed those drones. Thank you!
I don't know why, but I was happy to see a news Anchor sharing the exact same feelings I had when I saw that. Any dismantling of Russian military power[sic] puts a huge smile on my face and sometimes, a little laugh.
You’re getting entertainment not news and analysis, let’s be clear about that. I’m against Russia and for Ukraine 100% by there is plenty of irresponsible trash talk here.
@Max P Try ground news. This channel is fairly objective actually, and the hosts are charismatic. At least you understand the importance of a healthy information diet, most don't.
@Andrey Ef. Why do you want to fight Ukraine? Aren't they your brothers and sisters?
@Andrey Ef. предъявите доказательства, мы знаем, что 2 убитых, и они не были наемниками, денег за это не брали. Туалеты и телевизоры из частных домов тоже не выносили.
@Max P watch bbc
Thank you Michael for your reports on the Ukraine war. You are always measured and present a broad view of the issues with your interviews with specialists and your ironic humor! I love how you handle the military reports. You really do "ROCK!" From Melbourne, Australia.
Ukrainians are impressive and nice and brave and clever and humorous and loving and loyal. I could go on but you get my drift. 🇺🇦🌻🌻🌻
these are myths and you seem to belive in fairy tales
@Stu Young im here now, electric is back on for 1 hour. nite nite. no food no water,,,,nothing.
@Stu Young no you havent, name the town and the mayor ?
youve never been here, you dont know this. i could go on .

Florida doesn't sell theomometers that goes below - 20°C ; it's - °2C here now that's freezing to me 12/25/22 Slava Ukraine !
Actually, since your from Manitoba, I’d like to share how often I’ve thought…man those fields, those tree lined field and flat land could easily be Manitoba.
@Babak 1350 oh! I hear u my friend, I have that same dream!!
@a modern alchemist i bet it is. I dream about retiring in a warm place
@Babak 1350 when I was younger it didn't bother me but now that I'm 41, it's getting more difficult to deal with.
Rock, stay warm. I'm so happy to see you back. Always we'll spoken, pulled together, and on point. Loved seeing that missile shot down. I was jumping with fists in the air. Fistbump 🤜 from Arizona. 🇵🇱 🇺🇦 🇺🇸
@William Young no, it sounds like, rock? ,rock on!
@William Young thank you William. Can I still call him Rock?
"Rudolph, the red nosed reindeer..." ;-) Also, his name isn't Rock. I made that mistake. Rachon is using "rock" as a verb.
Sir… I always look forward to your reports…. Outstanding review as always… thank you
Slava Ukraine. Glory to the heroes.
Ok, I'm 10 minutes into the video and this guy is now my favorite guy on this channel, along with the regular guy. I've been watching this channel for at least 7 months now because of the regular anchor and now you have this guy, you guys are knocking it out the park!!! Love this channel!! Just Subscribed 😀

This California resident loves Rock Rachon. Great reporting.
Is your name really debris?!
Rock is The Man.
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦

His name is Mikhail, Mick or Mikey the pikey
@Albin 2 Miha is The Man. His namn is Miha, not Rock.
He sounds like he's so miserable, he almost wants Lithuania to go back to the Warsaw Pact so he doesn't have to report on how cold it is there! =P
Nice one Michael.
Rock on!

Right on Kiwi Buell Rider. Thanks for support of Ukraine. Nice bike the Buell. Ukrainian Canadian H. D. Rider.
Thank you, TVP, for giving me an honest source of news from the lands Russia threatens. You are my favorite source of confirmations of the ongoing military actions in Ukraine.
@Andrey Ef. And so it's okay for you to destroy Ukraine. Because of what you THINK we did? Stop it. Stop justifying the unjustifiable with "look at what so-and-so did".
@Laramie Roush , какой интерескый суррогат из домыслов и клише вы мне тут написали😉
Может для начала разберётесь, кто уже применял ядерное оружие, у кого был план уничтожения СССР ядерным оружием, когда такового ещё у нас даже не было, кто постоянно вёл речь об уничтожении России, и откровенно рисует планы раздела страны, кто разместил своё ядерное оружие вокруг наших границ в Европе, Турции, на Окинаве (при этом Россия своё ядерное оружие ни в одной стране за пределами своих границ не размещает!), кто вышел из договоров по ПРО и РСМВ, контролных испекций "по мирному небу", кто так и не уничтожили свои запасы химического оружия, кто по всему миру построили сеть биолабораторий финансируемых по закрытым военным программам, и можно бесконечно продолжать такие примеры!
Ну и конечно, это Россия "угроза" блоку НАТО с более чем триллионным бюджетом и населением в 800миллионов, и 60% мирового ВВП , со своими 50миллиардным бюджетом, 150 миллионами населения и 3% ВВП.
Чем вы думаете, когда рассказываете, что это мы вам угрожаем?!
И не хотите вспомнить, как это ваши армии за последние десятилетия вторглись в Югославию, Ливию, Ирак, Афганистан, Сирию, и никак за это не ответили?!
@Andrey Ef. "So who is threatening whom?" That would be the one who moved first into the borders of a neighboring nation. That would be the one who speaks of a pre-emptive nuclear strike. That would be the one who speaks to Kazakhstan in the same manner it spoke to Ukraine before a full-scale invasion. That would be what's left of Putin's Russia. A loud-mouth who knows better than to launch nukes, but continues to threaten the world with a neglected arsenal of cold war relics.
It's true, the tvp is the best channel to know what is happening in the war Russia - Ukrainia !
Ага, это ведь Россия "приближалась к границам НАТО" 30 лет?! В итоге НАТО уже во всю воюет на границах России. Так кто же кому угрожает?!
Rock on, Rock! Enjoy your newscast and reporting more than all others!
Vilno Ojczyzna moja , Kochana.
Pozdrawiam z Sussex 🏖️🌊
Kocham PL 🇵🇱🇹🇯
BRAWO.❤❤❤
Always enjoy Michal Rachon’s energy.
I love watching this guy's face when he's watching the Ukrainians shoot the Russian Chopper out the sky (20 sec. in). @TVP World; please make more videos with this guy! Priceless!
A wonderful laugh to go along with another wonderful report. Thanks once again Michal! 👍👍👍
Rock Rachon: "Will Russia use knife and fork at table or will they act like barbarians?" I love it!!!
Have you ever watched a Russian eat dinner it generally is not a pretty sight
We know the answer !
Thank you again for another awesome video Slava Ukraine.
Wow Rock, It must have been really frigid on that outdoor report, you had the appearance of Rudolph " The Red Nosed Reindeer 🦌". Glad you made it back to the studio without Pneumonia!! Enjoy your updates and the inter-dispursed sarcasm on Russian Failures, Nothing brings a smile 😊 more than a Russian Aircraft, missile or tank Disintegrating! Glory to those Valiant UAF Soldiers and Brave Civilians! SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦🎇🇺🇦
“It’s really cold here, but we rollin!”

This is my first viewing of this channel. This is really awesome commentary! Thank you very much!
From Ukraine with ❤️. It’s time for Ukraine to send in more 💕
Appeasement does not work, I’m English and we know. Slava Ukraine
Slava Peace. Slava Independence, which the will of the people has been made clear.
I am Czech and I agree.
Bravo Ukraine, Keep up the Good Work.
Hello from Reno, Nevada, USA. Slava Ukraine.
When you dial 911 do idiots show up wait we are in America of course they do stupid question
Well said brother, he would want peace only to reload and start again
I don't think anyone outside of The Baltics, or any other places they've occupied, really understand Ruzzian culture or what they're all about as deeply as they do. We in The West really should listen to them, they know about this stuff! Sĺava Ukraini. 🇬🇧 🇺🇦
It's about time Ukraine takes the fight to Russia. Now maybe it will be an equal playing field. I hope they hit the Kremlin and the Kirch bridge again, it needs another face lift.
I agree but wait until they spend more money and man hours on bridge😁
The Kirch bridge must be completely destroyed, it's the Orcs bridge of replenishment and reinforcement. The bridge of misery makers destroy that bridge.
Thanks to TVP! Saludos from Tenerife , Canary Islands, Spain! 👌
HOLA desde Romania
Hola compi desde Francia!

We in the United States stand in support of Ukraine. Слава Україні
Mixal, you're so much fun, like our Gutfeld we have in America. Keep up the good work, Claba Ukraine & Polska!
Great reporting as always.
My favorite. This guy is awesome. I don’t care what anybody comments about my comment is going to be. I love this guy.
@wimquill won Wrong
Don’t worry
We rollin 😅
This guy has very attractive wife, your loss ;)
Hes stolen from heaven😀
I too love this guy :)
Something satisfying when Russia is attacked by it's own weapons.
@AjitaDas399 Many people don't realize this. It's not just was, they still produce a lot of the same stuff Russia does just on smaller scales. Before this conflict broke out Ukraine had a respectable arms industry that exported things like tanks and jets. It was also one of the countries along with Russia that serviced soviet era machines of war.
@Ref's Channel history aside which yeah ok it was made in Ukraine during the days of the USSR... who was the main entity of the USSR again?
russia...stop playing technicalities over a silly joke.
What? Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic? Nothing?
The TU-141 was actually made in Ukraine during the days of the Soviet Union
The drones were probably marked, "RETURN TO SENDER"
Deepest condolences to the missile. RIP my friend.
Russians too *RIP* - _"Rest In Pieces" - in many pieces._ They should stay out of Ukraine. Slava Ukraini!
The ukrainians just keep reinforcing the reality of just how creative they are. Slava Ukraine
I hope Ukraine can become an arms supplier like LM in the future, they are genius!
if i'm not mistaken a month ago, it was hinted in a news that Ukraine is developing a drone that can reach its target 1000 kilometer from the origin, and will be probably operational soon, perhaps this is the one currently used to hit this bases in Russia
YES ! ! And THAT spirit will inspire a tremendous renaissance. These innovators will look for investors and OFF they'll go! Gives me chills!! 12622
Yep amazing 🇺🇦❤️🏴
Way to go !!! 🇺🇸✌🏻🇺🇦
This channel is so awesome. Thanks for your hard work!
Time well spent watching ! Thank you men -
Instead of when Britain stood alone in WW2 we will be saying for the rest of humanity when Ukraine stood alone ✌️🙏❤️
@Grißly Buholz Bot alert ! Slava Ukraine !
@Gary Moore totally agree it was luftwaffe who couldn't sustain the losses. Chamberlain had hurricanes and spitfires being produced years before Battle of Britain. Whilst they could land in fields they still needed the logistics (rearming, repair, refuelling, etc) so attacks on airfields wasn't only runways. More than that the pilots needed as much rest as possible near the planes. It was pilots more than anything that benefitted most from switch to bombing of cities.
Shaughan....The RAF airfields and pilots issue always strikes me as a bit of a misnomer. The Spitfire and Hurricane were both capable of taking off from grass runways and often did so. There were literally hundreds of civilian airfields in the South East of England during the second world war. I am not aware of any British Fighters being lost due to airfields being knocked out of action......if you can land on an alternate airfield you can take off from it too. Also most airfields that were bomb damaged were repaired and back in action the following day. 11 Group took the brunt of the Luftwaffe attack and during the BoB and were on their uppers.....12 Group and the others were not under anywhere near the same pressure.....the soloution was simply to rotate experienced fighter pilots into 11 Group which was eventually done. Britain could always train replacement pilots faster than the Luftwaffe could shoot them down....lack of combat experience was the real problem. The Luftwaffe was also losing pilots at a rate of 2 or 3 times the rate of British losses. It was Germany that was unable to sustain their aircraft losses....not Great Britain 🙂🇬🇧
@Douglas Thompson Budapest deal, um okay
Michael Rachon is slaying here wearing his fancy suit in Vilnius City. Take care Mike! New subs here from The Philippines. 💛🌸🇵🇭
SLAVA UKRAINE 💙💛✊🏻
Yessssss tis the season of giving back to Russia what gifts they gave to 🇺🇦!
You are absolutely right Miha, not to mention the "security agreement" russia and the west signed so Ukraine would give them their nuclear arsenal.
They also gave up their Tu-160 bombers.
Peculiar but entertaining and informative delivery. It's fresh and I'd watch more.
Michel is a beast. We will not think less of you if you do these interviews from a conference room inside of a hotel.
Absolutely! That was nuts. No more standing in the cold like that!
this Polish news channel is the best on the net
Excellent coverage as always Rock. Greetings from Sydney.
🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Ukraine is very angry, saying, "I can't take this any longer. I am tired of you nimbling my country"
"Go take everything the enemy has stolen,"says Zelensky to his soldiers.
What is nimbling?
Love the "Rock" Show! Bardzo dobrze!
Your doing a great service!!!!! Rock on!!!!
if this attack in airbase inside Russia has done by Ukraine then this is a great achievement by Ukraine own technology, by this way US and NATO can not dictate or limit the counter offensive by Ukraine inside Russia. Slava Ukraine show Russia that you have the tenacity and have the ability to create something big to defend and go for strong offensive
We will, we will rock you😀
I agree. Give Ukraine the tools they need for defense and offense.
I loved watching your video reporting Rock Rachon. Expressing your opinion, your stand with the righteous principle about real politicking concerning the war of aggression of russian terrorist orcs. But the way your facial expression in every video thread you presents is very positive because you had a lot of sense of humor as well😁..
Keep it up and thanks for your stand defending Ukraine People. God bless Rock Rachon💙💛💪

That would be awesome im telling you
Oh My ! 12622
Thanks for putting some personality in to your report. Love the Lithuanian holiday decorations!
Another Fine presentation, Mr. Rachon. I was feeling your cold. I'm sincerely thankful to see your topmost vest button is no longer under such enormous stress as in past weeks & I can now take leisurely deep breaths & truly feel much more at ease.
God Bless you All & Thank you All for keeping us abreast of the issues in your home areas. The u.s.a. does not provide us with
the information we receive from you at TVP. You folks are a Godsend to those of us who are otherwise entirely ignorant of the
World where you live. Be in Good Health and I pray you have Good Christmas. God Bless Ukraine.
Dang TVP is cruel making Rock Rachon sit out their in the freezing cold for the whole show too!
Sending you warm hugs Rock Racho! I look forward to your show here on TVP!
Get this man some tea or something! ☕
I agree, it upset me! Shame on the station. We don’t want to see him getting pneumonia or the flu! For Shame. No more of this please. Let him stay in a nice warm studio. Really! I’m serious. We want to keep him around!
Good interview. 👍😊. Via Ukraine 💙💛
Russia under attack: “This is a terrorist act”
Russia attacking innocent Ukraine civilians: “We are attacking Nazis”
……give me a break Vlad🙄
I never picked Scholz as being an idiot or naive. However, is he seriously saying to revisit the old agreements??? The one's that Putin broke, many times? I'm thankful for TVP's coverage. Cheers from Australia.
Great to see the Rock again!
Michael you rocked again . Thank you for an informative and insightful report spiced with sarcasm and humour. Greetings from Florida. You almost made me brrr when I saw your red nose. ❤❤❤🇺🇦🇵🇱🇺🇸
This is the same sort of drone that ' mysteriously ' managed tofly all the way to Belgrade and crash, crossing three countries to do so, undetected.
@M Bak I remember like it was yesterday
Remember the light aircraft flown by a German teenager that landed in Red Square. He flew over all the Russian air defences at a crawl and was not challenged or intercepted.
@Антон Дудник ?

TVP World, possibly the best news channel out there. Great stuff and thank you.
Brawo Michał, super report.
First radar guided bomb attacks against shipping were towards the end of WW II by the US vs Japanese ships. The Germans had radio guided bombs in 1943 also used against ships. All required line of sight to the target from the planes dropping them.
Glory to heroes, glory to Ukraine ❤🇺🇦❤️
Thank you for the amazing coverage and updates!!!!
In addition to declaring myself satisfied with the attacks carried out on Russian military installations by the Ukrainians, I must also express some perplexity about the means that would have been used for this purpose, something for which I do not deny the possibility that at least one of the attacks was substantially a sabotage carried out by people and not by flying drones. Basically, the use of an old electronic surveillance drone like the Tu-141 is conceptually plausible as a method but evidently not very effective as an operational result - If the problem is the Russians' ballistic weapons and air-dropable cruise missiles, why strike a couple of planes when the missile depots were much more vulnerable? -.
In the specific of the "Drone", meanwhile the original construction characteristics and the specific typology of the aircraft envisaged a use not at all suitable for flying over enemy territory. Wanting to consider it as a generic surveillance and attack drone and not specifically a kamikaze drone, the aircraft would make sense if it were possible to "pilot" it remotely like a Bayraktar II, otherwise it is also silly to call it a "Drone", therefore reusable in several occasions, which would also imply the presence of a reliable two-way radio link even at the maximum reachable operating distance - at this point it is also implied that the aircraft is equipped with an INS/GPS navigation system and has an effective satellite link, something which very few nations can have in the military field -. If, on the other hand, the Ukrainians used this Tu-141 as a sort of cruise missile, then we are simply in the presence of a (strong) demonstrative action made on purpose to make the aggressors' morale even more fragile and "test" the Russian AA capabilities on their same territory.
In the end, I assume that Ukraine is more than capable of designing and building a "combat drone", perhaps even updating and modifying the basic design of the venerable Tu-141, without necessarily dusting it off and using it starting from a museum aeronautical 🤔
Historically, distance, altitude, and expected performance have been of secondary importance when considering war in USSR/Russia. Note that tactical air ops are conducted thousands of feet lower in that part of the world compared to the Middle East, Africa, or Europe. There is enough old-but-functional equipment in Eastern Europe and Ukraine has enough precision workshops and brilliant minds that they can kluge all kinds of surprising things together. If the US took stuff out of HIMARS to shorten the range, who is going to tell Ukraine that they can't replace US gizmos with home-grown stuff sourced from a hundred high-tech companies around the world? Don't underestimate them. хай живе Україна! (Stay healthy Rock! Get out of the cold. We need you.)
Rock is the man he can handle , fire and cold
Forty minute broadcast and its cold and either snowed or rained some. What are we trying to do? Are the stations trying to see how many news anchors and reporters get hit by a car, get hypothermia, or pneumonia? This is ridiculous! I don’t need any humans standing in anymore tornadoes, hurricanes, and cold snaps to understand what weather is. Treat the reporters with respect, and like human beings! 😮
His name isn't Rock! It's Miha.
And we Rollin' Rock is great!
❤ 🇺🇦
Ukrainian soldiers are brilliant & innovative.....praise the LORD!
My Rock, there was almost an accident right behind you 0:49
Just love ya Rock, and love seeing those Abrams rolling into Poland! Hopefully, your guys will be trained on them and then We give them to y'all!
