he told japan that we will consider the complete destruction of the potential of nazi germany and japan as a victory, and now no country in the world or coalition can say that it wants the complete destruction of the potential of modern russia, but, but, let's at least see then. to consider the liberation of the occupied territories of ukraine and the organization of opposition and deterrence against russia as a victory , and this is still not the case, that is why i believe that the coalition does not exist yet, so far only its contours, the contours of the countries, contours of the coalition from a group of countries that provide sporadic aid, who thinks how.

for example, at first germany did not consider it an opportunity to provide powerful aid there , now, on the contrary, it is increasing it in the face of the challenge, let's say, that the united states can reduce aid, and germany, for example, doubled from 4 billion to 8 billion euros for 24 years, or, let's say , japan very powerfully increased its aid to 4.5 billion dollars, including. will support ukraine's anti-drone capabilities, and before that japan did not take any at all until the end of the 22nd year participation in some such projects, therefore , but this is not a coalition, a coalition is when ukraine would receive all the weapons it needs to liberate the occupied territories, including missiles with a range of 400-500 km, we need at least 500 of these rockets if

we count together and let's say ground-to-ground and tactical level missiles and count missiles, cruise missiles, which we could get not only from france and germany, and i'm sorry, from france and great britain, but also from germany taurus missiles, yes the infamous , which there is no way we can convince berlin to hand over to us, and it is certainly support. from the air - these are airplanes and helicopters, as well as modern drones, and perhaps even modern anti-aircraft systems. by the way, when we talk about anti-aircraft systems, one of the points in our summary of the five challenges is precisely the development of modern technologies, including at the expense of military-technical cooperation, here i want, i cannot here ... to mention such

an example, which is extremely revealing, well, it is possible, but rainmetal is coming to us, yes, to the market, but rainmetal wants to start producing the old fux combat vehicle with us and only then move on to a new combat tank at some stage, and even then it can move to, say, the joint production of some anti-aircraft systems , such as skynex, at the same time, look, hungary, which is a de facto collaborator within the eu, hungary with rheinmetall during the 23rd year, in the fall of the 23rd year, concluded two huge agreements within the framework of which, and hungary is almost not there at all defense industry, but within which it will only be, if we think about it, it will be produced jointly with the germans. a new battle

tank and joint air defense vehicle based on what i understand to be skynex, or even newer upgraded systems that rain metal presented at the '23 shows. now the same story is the united states, which is deploying a powerful production of stryker machines, stryker combat vehicles, in india. that's part of this production. is the creation of a super-powerful and ultra-modern complex of the army complex on the basis of the striker machine of air defense, which will contain both a rebov complex and a complex of laser countermeasures with a drone. so we see that even on defense, even on defense, even though we got the latest pro patriot and sampt systems, there's. well, there is a certain

lack of elaboration, because i have named the army complexes, that is, the complexes that will protect our troops on the battlefield, not about peaceful cities, i am talking now, but... about the advancement of the ukrainian army and what we need to convince our partners that we should start not with what can be done, but from what we need first of all, these air defense complexes. i'm not talking about the fact that in september of the 23rd year, the united states armed with an army complex... anti-drone drones with a laser system, and we wouldn't be against having such complexes either, so they have armed only one battalion so far, this is the newest complex, but at least within the framework of, say, the testing of such weapons, or within

the framework of the joint promotion of laser anti-drone programs, because such joint actions are carried out by the united states with the british. and in the same september 23rd in britain synchronously tested a laser anti-drone system , and here i am talking about the fact that we have to make a hyper-leap in the field of creation, use, in the war of the latest technologies, this is where the biggest, so to speak , our opportunities, the biggest for the biggest challenge for the future, although of course yes. we are talking about challenges, i would still like to return to your work then, to convey these five challenges to our viewers, which directions are we talking about, what is the meaning of each direction, and then we maybe

we will talk about some directions in more detail, taking into account the needs and capabilities of ukraine and our partners, so five directions, five challenges, what are we talking about, well , let me list them first, yes, and then we will work with them, as we can, well, the first is the probability of western aid, i.e. we want to preserve or increase it, and this is a challenge, i.e. reducing it is a certain challenge. the second challenge is the ability of ukrainian society to mobilize, that is, to replenish the army, precisely with people, new boys and girls who will be able to help those who are currently on the battlefield defending the country. the third challenge is , strictly speaking, the possibilities of military-technical cooperation with foreign countries and the creation of the latest such weapons systems,

the fourth challenge is, strictly speaking , the mobilization of the domestic defense-industrial complex and the transfer of the center of gravity to the domestic defense industry in order to... produce weapons and although b up to 30% of the needs of the army were covered independently and finally the fourth challenge is the latest technologies, this is what i was talking about now, that we need make a hyper jump and go to, if it is about air defense, then it is the use of laser systems, if it is about damage, then the use of electromagnetic weapons, we developed electromagnetic weapons before a large-scale invasion, and of course, weapons for this are weapons based on new physical principles, together with rebovsky's, let's say, modern systems, these five challenges are key for us in the 24th year, while the fifth challenge is, so to speak,

directed into the future to ensure a successful confrontation with the enemy russia then , when the war starts, so to speak , or it... will be in this form, when ukraine clears its territory of the enemy at a level, well, at some level at which we can, or it will be frozen, it is also impossible, cannot be rejected, because we are now critically dependent on western partners, and in the end, the authorities will be forced, and ukrainian society will be forced to accept that position. which will be dictated, because, in fact, we cannot now ensure by our own forces a complete, complete opposition to the enemy, therefore, actually the 24th year is becoming a key year for us,

a year of competition of technology and logistics and the ability of our society to survive this, let's... if we can go to i really have a question, there are actually five directions, yes, that is, from of them, three directions refer to mobilization in one form or another, because it is the mobilization of people. mobilization of industry, mobilization of science, these are actually three directions that are related to ukraine, and two directions are actually cooperation, interaction, guarantee from this international vector, that is, actually two the components of international, three actually ukrainian mobilization in various manifestations, which, how would you arrange these weighting coefficients, that , relatively speaking, they are certainly not all equal in terms of priorities, which is most... important for, relatively speaking, the construction of our defense system, for development, which

factors are secondary and which are primary, how could these five directions be divided by weight categories, yes , i understand that this is an extremely important point, if we were to say in general, and if such a war had not been waged now and the danger of a new offensive, i would certainly say that the most important is the third type. challenge, they are actually placed according to their hierarchical weight, and the third challenge is the ability to mobilize our own defense-industrial complex, why, because then we will not be dependent so much, for example, we can provide more than 90% of missile topics, and now already the drone topic, well, more than 50, because there are components, microelectronics and so on, what, but everything... that is more than 50 and is assembled in ukraine, it is already ukrainian, and it cannot be here

there should not even be any doubt, because very few countries in the world today can , well, can achieve a situation when they will fully provide for themselves, i put it on the first place, on the first place in this way, in general, i would put it on the first place specifically the ukrainian, the ukrainian defense industry, because the experience of other countries , well, for example, turkey did not have four, four decades ago it did not have any industry at all, but now, i mean the defense industry, but today is the day when attacked... the hussites, turkey announced the completion of the tests of two

air-to-air missiles, the latest missiles, i think that she deliberately did this today to demonstrate that she is independent in the sense of weapons, although in fact she depends on many programs from of the united states of america, there are programs for airplanes, helicopters and so on, but it is capable of drones and certain missiles. produce independently and is able to present them independently, supply them for use in the army, but let's return to weight, to the weight of these, let's say categories to the weight directly in these weapons and these items, we determined the help first by weight. and it is certain that american aid , as of the end of the 23rd year, accounted for about

45% of all aid from all western, and not only western, all partners, so 45% will not be able to cover, europe together with even japan, south korea, with australia, who are also helping us a little bit, and so we're... looking at how, what are the prospects, the prospects today, well, so-so, i would say, no simple, we hope that in the 24th year we will receive that 61 billion dollars or at least a part of this planned aid, but i am not sure that the situation will not change with the approach of the presidential elections, of course, if... will be neutralized, now 44% are ready to vote for trump, but trump, his

position is wavering, while the pro-ukrainian candidate, nikki haley, is gradually gaining points and opportunities, and of course we very much hope for that, and by the way, we also hope that that congressional republicans have already announced about his program to win ukraine, and ukraine, and there... three powerful points, one of which is to provide the weapons that are needed, the second is to take away its russian assets and use them for reconstruction. of ukraine and the third is to strengthen sanctions against russia, and actually speaking, this is a very powerful program if it will work, because it is not clear, now the situation is not completely clear, it will be more clear, more powerful, if indeed nikki haley is the first number one from the republicans, well, i'm a little bit of you now

forced to interrupt, we will now switch to the advertising information block and further. we will talk about how our defense industry should transform in order to achieve some noticeable and qualitative changes this year in the defense industry itself and for equipping our armed forces, about this after the advertising information block. hello woman, what to do when there is a liver? allochol should be taken, but what about bile? alohol, it protects the liver and gall bladder. with care and respect for the liver and bile, there are discounts on fkalkalor 20% in pharmacies plantain to you and savings. vinyl agency presents on january 22 at 19:30 on the stage of the lviv opera. taras chubai and songs that

sleep and recovery from bhfz. 93 separate mechanized brigade kholotny yar is in dire need of fv drones for effective hitting against the enemy and increase the losses of living and non-living forces of the occupier in order to bring closer the victory for which the whole of ukraine is waiting, glory to ukraine , glory to the heroes. let's continue our program on war and weapons , my interlocutor, my colleague, this is valentin badrak, director of the center for the study of the army, conversion and disarmament, a military analyst and

writer, and mr. valentin, i would like us to continue to focus on myself. before what we can actually do in one year, because in fact, when we talk about missile projects, there are drone projects, directions, the munitions field, yes , it needs such concentration and maybe some progress can be made here, but all technological things, they usually stretch in time, so what do we have, well, we are guaranteed to achieve from our power structures, from our industry or... to have and what can be, let's say, a second-order task? well, in order to go to some numbers and to some very specific things, we need to indicate what the conditions for this should be. the first condition is the physical protection of enterprises, to disperse production. i won't, we all, well, to some extent know,

yes, what happened on december 29 and january 2. and we know certain consequences of this, and this should be a certain lesson for us from two sides: one, one, it is the physical protection of enterprises, it is a lot to hide underground or disperse, it has already been partially done, but as we can see, not to the end, and this is a problem, strictly speaking, the administration of the defense industry, and the second is to make it impossible to leak data, because of which it happened... actually the attack on the enterprises of the defense industry actually on the 29th and the second day dramatically reduce the number of people who... can have access to information, and here i can't help but mention that the missile companies, all, absolutely all, the flagships, yes, not adjacent, but

the flagships, there are four of them, they turned in the summer to authorities with a request to help and in particular to get rid of pressure from das, the state audit service of ukraine, but, but until november, neither the government, nor the president's office... nor the security service could help these enterprises and that is why they were attacked, because there was a leak of information certain, including from this dasa there from other structures, therefore, these things must be ensured so that this does not happen, and so that the government's reaction to the protection of enterprises is instantaneous, and not during, say, almost six months of nothing being done, this is during, well, in... such a war, yes, when it is deployed, and now to the numbers, what is the potential, if you actually direct all efforts, all possible efforts, resources, and

willpower to provide, well , at least a huge number of drones can be provided, at least so that they are partially , of course, performed the functions of artillery and allowed to hold out, well, certain time, just like this... we can consider, we can consider the possibility of hitting enterprises and airfields of enemy control points, including not only in the occupied territories, including in the territory of russia, to move our weapons, our drones, and it is planned 10 00 medium-range drones and more than 100 drones with a range of 100 km, that's... well, it's quite a good, not bad arsenal for constantly tickling the nerves, let's say, of the enemy in their logistics centers and

control points, and also at defense industry enterprises , well finally, the most important thing is the missile program, well , how much progress can be made with the missile program, it's hard for me to say now, because i don't know the course of this... program actually, and maybe it's a good thing that i don't know the details, but the experience is actually ukrainian the experience of other countries, well, let's say, the neptune missile complex, the missile program from this complex was launched only at the beginning of the 16th year, yes, already in the 20th year it was adopted in the summer, 3.5 years actually a powerful missile complex was done. this means that its modification could be much sooner, and we believe that it has already started since may of the 22nd, a new missile program has begun, in fact,

so we can predict that by the end of, sometime or inside the 24th, we will already have several hundred of the latest missiles that can be used as surface-to-surface missiles, i also hope that there will be... air-to-ground missile complexes, cruise missiles, air-to-ground, besides , i personally have high hopes, joint work with turkey, that it will be possible to use akinshi, the newest a drone that can carry a cruise missile with a range of 250 km, it is a much cheaper drone than the american one, but quite a powerful weapon, and... things like that, well, of course, i would generally say about radical things, let's say a few days ago,

pakistan's new missile was tested, yes, yes, a fairly powerful missile, and we could count on buying through third countries, of course, not direct import from pakistan, but through third countries to buy such missiles and everything else. how is it, by the way, well, russia does it directly from iran and from north korea, but for us the situation is a little more complicated, but not it is not impossible, it can be carried out precisely in different ways, we know that there are three ways of getting weapons into ukraine, these are ukrainian weapons, this is military-technical cooperation, and this is procurement, so there are different , different ways a... but since we focused now on our own defense complex, then we can really count on the number of drones that will allow er... well

, actually to hold the battlefield without the maximum load of artillery, because we know that now russia has five times more artillery ammunition and can use them more, but fpv drones can perform certain functions, well , they can perform about 30-40% of the functions of artillery, this is one point, the second point is ammunition, quite... you can agree with general gavrylyuk, who at the end of the 23rd year noted that ukraine is quite capable of producing munitions in the difference, so to speak, between , well, let's say a million american munitions, a million european munitions, and the difference is that approximately 400,000 artillery tank munitions were produced during the year.

actually, either by ukrainian enterprises or together with partners, well, this is a difficult but achievable goal, in principle, an achievable goal, if , of course, we count not only 155 mm, but also soviet caliber, of course, here i am talking about all artillery and tank ammunition, well this is what it looks like, these possibilities and more. of course, a separate challenge becomes the capabilities, the capabilities of the reb, because the reb, radio-electronic warfare is becoming now, well, such a certain one of the key points, and overcoming it radio-electronic warfare, the enemy's radio-electronic means and, actually in other words, building up one's resources, well , that's about it, that's about how you look at

naives. newer programs, of course, i am not talking here about scaling up the production of self-propelled artillery installations, we even managed to reach the level of france, as the french increased production from two to six caesars, and in ukraine, from two to six bohdans, they have now increased production, and this it also inspires hope that not only, well, that different systems will be produced, by the way, these are systems. which have never been produced in ukraine, i mean and anti-aircraft missile complexes that the ministry of defense wants to purchase now of ukrainian production, and self-propelled artillery installations, and the same drones, and light armored vehicles, this has never been produced in ukraine, ukraine has created about a dozen of the newest weapons, weapons schools, these are very great prospects in fact for the future,

mr. valentin, thank you very much... thank you for the inclusion, for your explanations, what is happening with our defense, what are the risks and challenges for ukraine, they are laid out on the website of the army research center conversions and disarmament, there will be one more, just after our broadcast, another work related to the challenges associated with hostilities in the middle east. mr. valentin, thank you very much for the inclusion , i would like to remind our audience that this was valentin badrak, the center, the director of the army, conversion and disarmament research center, and the main takeaway from the... this conversation is that indeed we are entering a phase of war on exhaustion with the enemy, but this does not mean that this is such a certain stalemate variant of combat operations. now we will have some time for that strengthen its defense capabilities through cooperation with partners at the expense of its own industrial defense, but it is very important that there are more actions in this direction than words that describe these challenges. stay tuned to

the espresso channel. there will be a lot more interesting things to come, details of the visit of the american delegation to... the country that guarantees security for our state. great britain was the first to sign the agreement, what exactly does the document provide and how does the kremlin increase terror in the temporarily occupied crimea. good evening, annaeva melnyk and the news team are with you sums up today's day. historical event: ukraine and great britain signed an agreement on security guarantees. the united kingdom of...
