the tire now drives as it does on the track, of course not, but it behaves so confidently on such terrain, in the middle of the field, in the middle of the mud. do ordinary things become unreal? heavy bags are not for my sore back. for back pain, try dolgit cream. long-acting cream relieves pain, reduces swelling and improves joint mobility. skramyv dolgit, whatever you want, i'll pick it up. dolgit - the only yellow cream for joint and back pain. i flew, flew, the cough stopped me. cough is a symptom of a respiratory disease, so we treat it respiratoryly. we do inhalation. lords

an inhaler for cough, and with the new ulizer air+ lorde reaches the lungs immediately and sputum leaves faster. thanks to lorde , i'm flying again. lorde gial is a direct way to expel phlegm. oh, there are no potatoes, bring them already, ascin, something has caught. i remind you, apply dr. tice's vitreous ointment and get back to work. ointment with comfrey is a german ointment for joint and muscle pain. dr. tice's natural comfrey bath, also try dr. tice's comfrey warming cream, a proven remedy, about politics, the new minister of defense rustem umerov, what do you expect from him? ah

... i wait, we expect him to continue his policy, let's say, the first is that the system is characterized by a reaction to some problem, and reznikov somehow reacted negatively to all these revelations about purchases at inflated prices, while the system pushed him in other directions. yes, food procurement has been made transparent and so on, this is a positive way, and this system of procurement of the work of the ministry of defense did not allow it to be silenced, and the public too, yes, that is, publicity had positive, yes, i believe that the main thing is, let's not say so, to adhere to the line of open procurement as much as possible. through some systems

transparently and so on , to liberalize as much as possible, to open up the competitive procurement of weapons and military equipment, since it is also a large part of the defense budget, and in this regard, it is precisely to develop the functionality of the ministry of defense, and the ministry of defense is a body that ensures the activity of the armed forces of ukraine, and that it is important to add to this the development of research and development works, since, unfortunately, from march, from february to march of last year, all research and development work was curtailed by the state testing commission, why other tasks, well, look, this is logically very in... war, let's say, they are not engaged

in some kind of long-term development of something, funds are not invested, but already there, when we move into a long-term process, into a long-term war, this process needs to be slowly restored, to attract some funds for development and technology, a lot of different updated photos. hello bohdana and most of the photos with the armored cabin that your company took. from what you know and from what you can tell, so who will be producing the upgraded sao bohdan, your company, or maybe some other manufacturer, and have you moved to serial, have you gotten involved in serial production of this legendary self-propelled gun? and why

legendary, because she passed state tests for a long time, no, because thanks to her it was possible to free the island of snakes from the invaders, first of all, one already... information about the fact that our company took part in this is no longer a danger for the company, so, in general, such questions are very sensitive, unfortunately, at the moment, er, bohdana, unfortunately, er, it was very difficult the thorny road of government trials, from 2017 to 2022, that's 5 years, uh, very few manufacturers can uh... let's say, sustain the investment in this whole time, you need to pay people's salaries, develop something, spend money, to lose funds, and that is why it is such a complex process, to develop and to produce, present and test such

a complex artillery system , that's why i joked about the legendary state, we accept... we participate as a subcontractor in this project, so we won't say much about it there, because we fulfill a rather simple role of a manufacturer, a manufacturer there chassis or cabin reservation, so we are really already producing and in series, we can see this from the publication of the minister of defense earlier. ex-minister of defense reznikov and indeed bohdan is already being produced in several serial modifications and i will say a little more and several more are being developed in parallel with the modifications, why several

modifications at once, why not stop at one in the end, concentrate and already all the forces to speed up production volumes, to speed up, that is, to us, look, if in simple ... words we were given more than 200 artillery systems, for example, our foreign partners, western partners, we use more than 1,300 artillery systems at the front, this is from open sources, more than 1,300 artillery systems, the concentration of providing or there the peak of providing us with weapons has already passed, so we have another six years we need to get weapons to at least replace those... those barrels, those artillery systems that we have at the moment, and for this, of course, we don't have time to wait six years for changes, updating the artillery composition, first of all , secondly, uh, unfortunately, uh, an artillery war of such density, uh, hostilities of such density

as now, uh, leads to the use of the barrel resource, very quickly, and here is the question, so they gave us 200 systems, er,... 200 systems with a resource of 1,000 barrels - that's 200,000 shots, how much ammunition did they give us, million, that is, the resource of these barrels has probably already been exhausted somewhere, they need to be replaced , it is necessary, well, to install new barrels, to carry out repairs, so this work on artillery is, well, its importance is underestimated, it is very important, it should be in large volumes. if we want to win, of course. recently, the government made a decision to maximally simplify the import of unmanned aerial vehicles, drones and their components into ukraine. the production of armored vehicles, does

it need the same step from the government to make things as simple as possible for you, to exempt from duties some component. of course, it needs. and what exactly does everything need for production, everything needs and i will give an example, it is just like this in our country, look , first of all, the procurement of drones was transferred to the ministry of statistics, it seems about a year ago, yes, there is an army of drones under the project, and it was purchased by the state special forces . .. and a separate resolution of the cabinet of ministers, which gave the right to receive 25% of the profit for such a supply, 25, it is much more than, ah, we see a tenfold increase in production volumes

drones, what is your profit rate approximately, with imports 3%, with production 1% for purchases and 30% for work, well, in the middle. on a car, for example, on an armored car, it is 5% in profit, so the production of drones is booming, yes, it is growing tenfold. and now we have more than 20 manufacturers there that have passed the tests that are supplied, what does this say, if you give the opportunity to earn money, if you are here it is very important for everyone to understand, to earn money - it does not say that now to earn money on of blood or whatever, these are funds for development, you, the company, invest your funds in people, in development, in equipment, and so on, no one will receive it there... any excess profits, when in a situation where you are developing,

because you invest money, and it gives results, so if, and by the way, why do you ask, i ’m guessing that the army of drones, as a project, was withdrawn from the ministry of defense, because it is impossible to do it for all products there at the same time, or it will be it's difficult there, either or or they didn't want to do it yes. because i probably have for some reason, this project was singled out and transferred to other defenses, did they not want to do it or were unable to do so? well, it will remain somewhere in the cabinets of the cabinet, but if it were done with all products, would we have weapons in terms of technology yes, yes, yes , i will say an unpopular thing here, look at it... as churchill seems to have said that the new

fascists will call themselves anti-fascists. our new corrupt officials are anti-corruption officials, but we are already at such a stage that we will blame someone for every purchase, undermine this process, any manufacturer can be disassembled into pieces, yes, at the same time, we import everything in a row and no one... analyzes and compares it, yes, at the same time, domestic production, this is exactly what taxes and other things are, we can turn to practice of western countries, which is the same turkey in turkey now, turkey was until 2020, 2019, i apologize, according to the stockholm peace research institute, it was in the top 10, and if accurate, then somewhere last. years was number six in the world as an arms importer, an importer. now turkey is among the top ten exporters. in

turkey does not have a profit limit, yes, they sell their equipment to their own ministry of defense quite expensively there, because they understand that it is taxes, jobs, technology, development and so on. we observe the same thing in europe. i will not disclose, but european countries. who supply us with weapons, supply them to ukraine cheaper than they sell to their own ministry of defense, in their own country, and this is considered normal there, it would not be considered normal in our country, our enterprises would already have problems, significant problems in this plan, therefore and fighting for the cheapest, proverbially, i don't know how to say in ukrainian, yes, well, we can come to the point that we will be for... our armed forces do not provide the highest quality, but the cheapest? i'm not rich enough to

buy cheap things, - said one of the american presidents, that's what you meant, probably yes, well, i'm not saying buy them expensive, i'm saying buy them at market value, and don't fight for plans to buy for the military the cheapest available on the market, weapons of the second innovator. also improved instead of a turret on the roof, from now on it can be put on a combat module with remote control, then the shooter will fire from inside the car, thanks to the joystick and the monitor, controlling the 12.7 mm machine gun. a thermal imaging camera is connected to the monitor, so you can destroy the enemy even at night. this camera, by the way, distinguishes targets at a distance of up to 2 km. but depending on the combat tasks , the armament of the second innovator can also change, for example, instead of a machine gun, the machine can be equipped

with an anti-tank missile system. how so it happened that the company ukrainian armored vehicles, as a matter of fact, switched from armored vehicles, or in addition to armored vehicles, to the production of mortars. ah, after, i don't want to say, somehow i have to say carefully. after the supply after the problems with the supply of mortars to molot , the niche was completely unoccupied by anyone, this is the first such marketing, secondly, everyone... says that mortars are easy to produce, but in fact they are not easy to produce, and pass state tests, more than two years, we passed tests with a 120 mm mortar, well, it was such a diversification business at that time and the occupation of an unoccupied

niche, but it must be said that mortars are those... only the first step towards development, the company planned to produce mortars and mortar shots for them, and had, developed, started, passed state tests, delivered mortars and developed, put into service a 60 -mm mine, conducted research and development work on 82-mm mines, we already at the time of the start of a full-scale invasion passed tests of a 120-mm, millimeter mine, and this is me... just like that, for example, mine 60 is the only one the munition that was put into service in ukraine before the full-scale invasion, the mine munition, and now the company is making components, mortar rounds, for mortars and trying to fill that whole line just right.

there were several tragic cases with ukrainian molot mortars, you did not have such situations, did you manage to take into account those... so to speak, critical errors in the production of those mortars, well, this is more a question for the customer and the operator, since those critical cases which were then, that's all was related to the operation, it was double loading of mortars, so we still have ugh-ugh-ugh, uh, and there are no complaints about the supply or quality of mortars, they are used in... a large number of end users with the same let's say , with the same parameters of quality and reliability. can state-owned enterprises in the field of defense be effective at all? maybe, maybe, there are efficient enterprises whose management

is not looked into every day. the state as an effective owner, perhaps not in slovakia maybe we see, yes, in serbia maybe, even, well, not really, in slovakia, public enterprises work interspersed with private ones, and this is one of those public-private partnerships, such good, good examples of achieving results, we cooperate with him and there we know a little from the inside, how it works, it is... radically different from ukraine and in general the system is built in ukroboronprom, it is not efficient, but state-owned enterprises can certainly be efficient and effective, if it is done correctly

approach the process. how much does one mine cost approximately? in different ways, uh, about 20 00 hryvnias. 2000 hryvnias well, it's just a particularly relevant question, ah, for the military, when you use ammunition, few people realize that it costs money, and a lot of money at that. but the flip side, the military doesn't have to think about how much they spend, here, it does. think those who plan, they must be provided so that they are used as much as they need for defense, and not so much that they think there, with what, how much money they fired, presidents, prime ministers have recently announced

the creation of joint production, including armored vehicles, in ukraine. with the participation of foreign leading arms concerns, as far as possible, do you think? i think that it is absolutely possible, and it will be, a year ago, western companies understood that we are becoming a world-class consumer, and ukraine is now in... first or second place, i think, among world importers of military equipment in terms of the spent budget for by the funds spent, not taking into account a... mtd, the material and technical assistance that we receive for free from our partners, that is, we are a very significant absorber, er, and we this

equipment, it is either destroyed or exploited, we do not need to keep it in working order, so everyone understood this, since the summer this year, ah, western companies , american, european, began to very actively look for ways to enter ukraine, ways to organize their offices, representative offices, joint venture organizations here, and this process is very active, when you, as a country, we, as a country, you appear in some kind of strategy a company whose income is more than the budget of ukraine, well... we have already become a target , they will reach us, the question is how and when, but we have already become, we have become the target of these companies, to organize production here, if

we if this happened, then we will already check the box that it will be, and why it is useful, because they should involve our specialists, they should involve our factories. sites, to organize mass production sites, that is , in general, it is very positive for ukraine, it is the attraction of capital, it is the attraction of technology, this is the involvement of the best global laws and practices in production management, with the organization of production and capital management, so it is absolutely positive and it will definitely be, by the way, about the repair of the... the defense forces of ukraine received from your western partners, your competitors, so to speak , competitors , competitors of the guard, an innovator, but you

really have specialists, you have capacities, would you be interested in getting involved in the repair of these foreign armored vehicles that are used by the ukrainian military at the front and the need for repairs is really urgent , it’s interesting. we are engaged in this, we also supplied armored cars of other manufacturers, not only our own, by import, and we provide their support, and in addition, we must all understand that we need to expand the line, expand, if our service capabilities are ukrainian, as western manufacturers will not do so at the moment. here are service centers in ukraine, we thank them anyway for organizing such centers of service centers near ukraine, yes, in border countries, but

nevertheless we need to do as much as possible short logistics, as short as possible logistics shoulder, because if we spend a lot of time there on moving and repairs, it will not be efficient, in connection with which, for example, our company minimizes the supply of equipment. to us for production and maximizes exactly the on-site service teams and repairs at the forefront of our equipment, the same should be done with western equipment. in general, the manufacturer gives the maximum speed of this car on the highway at 110 km/h, but this armored car can easily drive 130-140 tracks as needed. but i want to emphasize , of course, that the braking maneuver is very important for this car, that is, you have

to brake here especially, you have to get used to it, that you are not driving a passenger car after all, that you are not driving a used jeep that your friends drove you from -abroad, after all, you are driving a heavy nine-ton armored car, and therefore braking, especially on the highway, must be balanced and very careful, just press the brake pedal and make this big powerful car brake, it will not work like that , here you have to slow down carefully. a month ago, you actually accused the leadership of the state audit service of ukraine of working for the enemy. the actions of the state audit service have signs of sabotage against the military-industrial complex and the

defense forces of ukraine. did you say at the press conference what happened between you? there is nothing between us, it is up to them what happened to the customer, and at that time we knew about the results of the audit that was carried out in the ministry of defense, and the minister spoke about this openly since july and talked about this problem that it exists. at that time, we knew that the state bureau of investigation was falsifying the case against us, arguing it with damages that were given to the ministry of defense, by making a profit according to all the legislative and regulatory standards that were in force at the time, so we went out, i went to the press conference and informed about it, for now

we see that the same position... regarding state-owned enterprises, regarding rocket-building enterprises, yesterday we saw the address of the president's office to the prime minister, with rocket-building enterprises, there are three enterprises, that is why, at the conference, at my press conference on september 15, i said that this is a general problem, it is not a problem of ukrainian armored vehicles. questions, this is the problem of the ministry of defense, as a customer, and this is the problem of all the suppliers who supplied the ministry of defense, why is this sabotage, because it cannot be, the system, the procurement system is a crime, it is not, we did not have enterprises that some received profit, some did not, profit, according to the current regulations, was paid to all. everyone

is the same, that is, the state audit service wants to undercut the purchase of military equipment during wartime, how to interpret it, well, let the investigation interpret it, and it is also a crime, it is someone who has to do something special in order to obtain some benefit or harm , cause and so on, the procurement system cannot be a crime, the system itself. first, second, the clarification given by the ministry of economy, all the resolutions we refer to have acted, the clarification of the ministry of strategy and industry, all the resolutions we refer to have acted, the profile committee of the verkhovna rada sends an appeal to the cabinet of ministers to settle the situation , since all the resolutions were in effect, the state government recognizes the damage, the verkhovna rada votes and says that first of all, what, why is it important,

because... in our country, the law is placed on top of by- laws, but the executive documents of the cabinet of ministers - these are by-laws, the first rule of law, ah, and the law on defense procurement and clarification, this resolution of the verkhovna rada, this is a law, they say that enterprises could and should make a profit in wartime, even during actions 33'. resolutions, supremacy the law because of what you called subversive activities of the state audit service, you appealed to the president and the prime minister, did they hear you? we were heard by all the participants, because, look, we said that there is an explanation from the ministry of economy, yes, the ministry of economy gives a clear explanation that profit should be taken into account. ministry of economy. this is

the agency that controls the use of budget funds in the field of defense, and we turned to the ministry of strategy and industry, they also see it the same way, and the committee, too, the profile committee of the verkhovna rada, and even the verkhovna rada in the very first, from the very first time , voted and supported the said resolution of the verkhovna rada, it seems, by some large, large number of votes, therefore... we are heard, we are understood, but i think not they can, let's say, can't find the right solution, what to do with i'm not saying that the state audit service is conducting subversive activities, i 'm saying that it looks like sabotage, since it cannot be considered a criminal procurement system, the system, the system itself, because it is determined by the resolution of the cabinet of ministers and other normative documents, for some reason.
