a leap in the field of creating the use of the latest technologies in war, this is where our greatest, so to speak , our opportunities are, the greatest, our greatest challenge for the future, mr. valantim, when we talk about challenges, after all, i would like everything - to return to your work in order to convey these five challenges to our viewers, which directions we are talking about, what... the meaning of each direction is subject to, and then we may talk about some directions in more detail, taking into account the needs , opportunities of ukraine and our partners, therefore five directions, five challenges , what are we talking about, well, let's go then, i will list them first, yes, and then we will work with them as we can, well, the first is the probability of western aid, that is, either preservation or increase, we want, and this is a challenge, that is, reducing it is a certain challenge, the second. the challenge is the ability

of ukrainian society to mobilize, that is, to replenish the army 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, opportunities for 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 so that we produce weapons and cover at least 30% of the army's needs independently, and finally the fourth challenge is the latest technology, that's what i'm going to talk about now. gave that we need to make

a hyperjump and go to, if we are talking about air defense, then this is already the use of laser systems, if we are talking about damage, then the use of electromagnetic weapons was developed in our country before a large-scale invasion, electromagnetic weapons, well, of course, weapons for this are weapons based on new physical principles, together with rebov's, let's say modern systems, these five challenges are for us. key for the 24th year, while the fifth challenge, it is, so to speak , aimed at the future, to ensure a successful confrontation with the enemy russia when, well, the war becomes, so to speak, or it will be in this form, when ukraine will clean up our territory from 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 our western partners, and in the end, the government will be forced, and the ukrainian society will be forced to accept the position that will be dictated, because, because, in fact, we cannot now ensure a completely complete confrontation by our own forces. the enemy, therefore, the 24th year actually becomes for us a year, a key one, a year of technology and logistics competition and the ability of our society to survive it. let's go, if we can go to i really have a question, there are actually five areas, yes, that is, three areas of them relate to mobilization in one form or another, because it is 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, in fact, two components of international, three actually ukrainian mobilization in various manifestations, what would you placed these weighting coefficients, which , conditionally speaking, are certainly not all equal in terms of priorities, which... is more important for, conditionally speaking, the construction of our defense system, for development, which factors here are secondary, which are primary, i.e. how would these five directions be distributed by weight categories? yes , i understand that this is an extremely important moment, if we were to speak in general, and if such a war and the danger of a new offensive were not being waged now, i would of course say that the most important is the third. 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, missile topics, we can more than 90% provide, and now there is also the topic of drones, well, more than 50, because there are still components, microelectronics, and so on, but everything that is more than 50 and is being assembled in ukraine, it is already ukrainian, and there cannot even be any doubt here, because well, very... few countries in the world today can, well can achieve a situation when they will fully provide for themselves, i

put the ukrainian defense industry in the first place, in the first place in this form, in the general form, because of the experience. 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, on the very day when the houthis were attacked, turkey announced the completion of the tests of two missiles air air, the latest missiles, i think that she deliberately did it today. er, to demonstrate that it is independent in the sense of weapons, although in fact it depends on many programs from the united states of america, there are programs for airplanes, helicopters and so on, but it is able to produce drones and certain missiles independently and is able

to present them independently, to supply weapons to the army, but let's go back to... the weight to the weight of these, let's say, categories, to the weight directly in these weapons and these items, we determined the first by weight aid, and certainly that american aid, as of the end of the 23rd year, it made up about 45% of all the aid of all for... western, well, not only western, all partners, so 45% will not be able to cover, europe together with even japan, with south korea , with australia, which are also helping us a little, and that is why we are looking at how

the prospects, the prospects today, well , they are so, i would say difficult, we hope that on the 24th and. year we will receive the same 61 billion dollars or at least a part of it planned aid, but i'm not sure that the situation will not change as the presidential election approaches, of course, if trump is neutralized, now 44% are ready to vote for trump, but trump, his position is wavering when the pro-ukrainian candidate nikki haley. is gradually gaining points and opportunities, and of course we really hope for it, and by the way, we also hope that the republicans of the congress have already announced their program of victory for ukraine, and ukraine, and there are three powerful points, one of

which is to provide weapons that is needed, the second is this take away russian assets and use them for... the restoration 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 more understandable, more powerful, if indeed nikki haley will be the first republican number one. i have to interrupt you a little now, we will now switch to the advertising information block. and then we will talk about how our defense should transform industry, in order to really achieve some noticeable and qualitative changes in the defense industry itself and for equipping our armed forces this year. about this after the advertising and information block. greetings, this is svoboda live on radio

svoboda. we have already approached the serpent himself. the following shots may shock you. live news from the scene. kamikaze drone attacks. political analysis objectively and meaningfully, there is no political season, exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front. shot! svobodalai frankly and impartially, you draw your own conclusions. let's continue our program on war and weapons, my interlocutor, my colleague, 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 emphasize, first of all, that we can really do for one year , because actually, when we talk about missile projects, there are drone projects, rebov

directions, ammunition sphere, uh, yes, it needs such concentration, and maybe some progress can be made here, but all technological things, they usually stretch over time, so what we have, well, we are guaranteed to achieve from our power structures, from our industries, or have and what can be, let's say, well, a task of the second order. well, in order to move on to some numbers and to some very specific things, we need to indicate what the conditions for this must be: the first condition is the physical protection of enterprises, decentralization of production, i will not, we all know to some extent, yes, we know what happened on december 29 and january 2 certain consequences of this, and this should be a certain lesson for us. in two from two sides: one, one 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 completely, and this is a problem, in fact, the administration of the defense industry , and the second is to prevent the leakage of data, due to which the actual attack on the defense and military enterprises took place, in the 29th and the second yes, for this it is necessary to drastically reduce the number of people who can have access to information, and here i cannot help but mention that missile companies, all, absolutely all flagships, not adjacent, but flagships, there are four of them, they turned to the authorities in the summer with a request for help and, in particular, to get rid of pressure from das. of the state audit service of ukraine, but, until november, neither the government, nor

the president's office, nor the security service, could help these enterprises, and therefore they were attacked, because there was a leak, a leak of certain information, including from this das, there from other structures, so these things must be ensured so that this does not happen, and that the reaction authorities to protect enterprises was, well, instantaneous, and not... for, let's say , nothing was done for almost six months, this was during, well, such a war, yes, when it was deployed, and now to the numbers, what is the potential, if you actually direct all efforts, all possible efforts, resource, and willpower efforts to ensure, well, at least a huge number of drones can be provided, at least so that they partially... of course, perform the function of artillery and allow to hold out for

a certain time , this is the only way 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 transfer our weapons, our drones, and it is planned... er, 10,000 medium- range drones and more 1,000 drones with a range of 1,000 km is not bad enough, a good arsenal for constantly tickling the nerves, let's say, of the enemy in their logistics centers and control points, as well as at defense industry enterprises, and finally, the main thing is missile program, well... how much progress can be made with the missile program, it is difficult for me to say now, because i do not know the progress of this

program itself, and maybe it is a good thing that i do not know the details, but this is actually ukrainian experience, the experience of others countries , come on, 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, for 3.5 years actually a powerful missile the complex was made, which means that its modification can be much faster and e... we believe that it has already started since may of the 22nd the new missile program has started, in fact, so we can predict that at the end somewhere or inside the 24th we will already have several hundred of the latest missiles that can be used as surface-to-surface missiles, yes i myself hope that there will be

air, ground, and winged missile systems. the air is the ground, besides, i personally have high hopes for joint work with turkey, that it will be possible to use akinshi's latest drone, which can carry a cruise missile with a range of 250 km, this is much more a cheaper drone than an american one, but quite a powerful weapon, and things like that, well of course, i would generally... talk about radical things, let's say a few days ago, pakistan's new missile was tested, yes, yes, quite a powerful missile, and we could count on buying through third countries, of course, not direct imports from pakistan, but through third countries to buy such missiles and everything else

like that, by the way, well, russia does it directly from iran and... .from half of north korea, but for us the situation is a little more complicated, but no inefficient, not unfeasible, er, 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, but since we have focused now on our own defense complex, then ... we can really count on the number of drones that will allow, well, actually to hold the battlefield without the maximum load of artillery, because we know that now russia has five times more has artillery ammunition and can

use more of them, but fpv drones can perform certain functions, well, about 30-40% of the functions. to execute is one point, the second point is ammunition, it is quite possible to agree with general havrylyuk, who at the end of the 23rd year noted that ukraine is quite capable of producing ammunition in the difference between, well, let's say a million american ammunition, a million of european ammunition, and the difference is that about four... 300,000 ammunition during the year were artillery tank was produced either by ukrainian enterprises or jointly with partners, well , this is a difficult but achievable goal, in principle, an achievable goal, if, of course, we count not only the 155 mm, but also the soviet caliber, of course

, here i am talking about all artillery tanks. munitions, well, this is how it looks, these opportunities look like, and of course, a separate challenge becomes the opportunities, the opportunities of reb, because reb, radio-electronic warfare is becoming now, well, such a certain one of the key moments, and overcoming radio-electronic combat, radio-electronic means of the enemy and, strictly speaking, build-up. of their means , well, these are approximately, this is approximately the view of the most important programs, of course, i am not talking here about the scaling of the production of self-propelled arteliy installations, we even managed to reach the level of france, how the french increased production from two to six caesars, yes and in ukraine, from two to six

bohdans, they have now increased production, and this also instills hope that... and not only, well, that is, that different systems will be produced, by the way, these are systems that have never been produced in ukraine, i mean the 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 was produced in ukraine, ukraine has created about a dozen... of the latest weapons weapons schools, these are really great prospects for the future. mr. valentin, thank you very much for the inclusion, for your explanations, what is happening with... our defense industry, what are the risks, the challenges for of ukraine, they are laid out on the website of the center for the study of the army, conversion and disarmament, there will be one more, just after

our broadcast, one more 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 director of the army, conversion and disarmament research center, and the main takeaway from this conversation is that we are indeed entering the phase of a war of attrition. but that doesn't mean it is a certain stalemate variant of hostilities. now we will have some time to strengthen our defense capabilities through cooperation with partners, through our own defense industry, but it is very important that there are more actions in this direction than words that describe these challenges. stay tuned to the spresso channel, there will be a lot more interesting things to come. good evening, we are from ukraine. greetings,

dear viewers, this is the big ether program. my name is vasyl zima, and i and my colleagues are with you for the next 47 hours minutes let's talk about the most important thing. today we will have the results of the economic week. we will also recap on the battlefield with serhiy zgurets. military results, again. of the week, but let's start with the announcement of the collection, the espresso tv channel calls to join the collection of kamikaze armor for the 93rd separate mechanized brigade kholodny yar. these soldiers have been actively defending ukraine since the 14th year in the hottest directions. this is the battle for donetsk airport, ilovaisk, battles for sumy region and kharkiv region. solodar and bakhmut in donetsk region, here too the heroic soldiers of the kholodny yar brigade distinguished themselves. currently, the defenders need kamikaze drones, in sufficient numbers. number of these birds will be able to stop almost any offensive and any assault actions of the enemy, equipment, manpower of the enemy for a few minutes. where there is no drone wing, the wings

of human dreams and hopes are lost, so let's strengthen the wings of our warriors and clip the wings of the occupier and the aggressor. today, the enemy struck another blow at kherson, unfortunately, there were casualties. we will talk more about the situation in the kherson region with oleksandr tolekon. the head of the press office of the kherson regional military administration, mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you, well, good evening, the news that appeared today is that the enemy attacked kherson, two people died as a result, perhaps there is now more information about this, please tell me in more detail, well, yes, the projectile really arrived at 12 o'clock in one of the districts of kherson, a ship. district on one of the streets er near

the same a woman died there, it caught fire, a car caught fire, a man got into the car, and ... unfortunately, the woman was 80 years old and died, but as for the man, it is unknown who it is because there was a very big fire, there was a fire, and the law enforcement officers are now establishing who it is and what kind of victim it is and , unfortunately, we had such a problem under shelling and other settlements, but luckily they were not harmed. well, yes, i read that during the day , vorokh fired 73 shots, almost 300 shells flew in, well, again, if you say this, it is

obvious throughout the kherson region, but yes, for a day will pass, ugh, all over. i want a little, now i want to ask you such a political question, but it is important, especially during a full-scale war with an aggressor country. the representative of the banned opzh party, ms. mazur , cannot be fired from the kherson military administration, well, maybe you know more why this is happening, and in general , are certain people who are connected to the political force, whose political council was headed by a state traitor, still working? who is now outside the country, and he is not the only one there are also wars and a number of politicians, please, i'm being honest. i haven’t yet, well, i’ve panimazav, yes, they will say so , to be honest, i haven’t heard about it, i can ask there,

of course, well here... the question of releasing people during martial law, unfortunately, we have a state, the law of legislation does not allow, but i think that this issue will be resolved if such a situation, yes, people can remain idle for the period of martial law, without pay. there are such cases when we cannot release, i want to ask about what, this is a military situation to a greater extent, again, from what can be said, because it is clear that you hardly have a complete breakdown of the situation on the bridgehead, which the armed forces of ukraine were able to get out so easily, well, not with their teeth, but with shovels, bullets and

mines to the left... network, we are talking about krynka , the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 90% of the equipment in the krynka sector, which the enemy, as i understand it, sent there, perhaps there is more information in general on the situation at the bridge, are they really telling the truth that it is possible, albeit with great efforts , but expanding this surgical bridgehead is really difficult the situation is really iron there, our guys who are there now and have seen where... units of equipment together from zbka are supporting there, our and artillerymen are constantly working to cover our guys there and drones, drones are working on the occupiers around the crowns in order to secure and let work

our guys who are there now, but really, especially in such a winter period, when it is getting cold, it is difficult to expand, but they are doing it, and maybe there is again more information about the situation on in the occupied territory of the kherson region, life continues there, life under the rule of the occupier is like that, somewhere people are forced to get passports only if they have passports, let's say, because i read in... only those who have a russian passport, this, i don't even want to call it a passport, this one, a piece of paper in a cardboard box, let’s say, fake, only they , let’s say, are given firewood or brackets so that they can heat it, it’s cold now, in ukraine, i think that in the kherson region it is no less cold than in other regions, well, in novaya kakhovka, in particular, very serious problems with medical services, people are actually forced to either treat themselves, if they have any

drugs, or hope. by god and their immunity, that they will recover, is there really information about what is difficult with this , and also the humanitarian situation in the occupation, does any information reach you, well, in almost the entire territory of kherson region, there is a very big problem with medical care, the occupiers cannot fix it, because first of all many doctors left and began to cooperate, they began to work for the occupier. passporting is also underway, but apart from that of passporting , the main collaborator saldo announced that by april 15 they must collect all data on people who can be mobilized, these are people from the year 20, 2007 inclusive, whom they plan to mobilize and... by april 15

they must collect all information about possible there all lists, create territorial commissions, create medical commissions, so that on the 15th, he plans to start mobilization on the territory of the occupied territory of the kherson region. uh, there's also a message about, as you said, the limitations. people in receiving bustard, receiving services, but, first of all, i want to say that they can't even provide for those people who received russian passports, they can't even provide these people with firewood, repair electricity, they can only have their own holidays, well, i'll ask one more question.
