espresso. today, in our military program , we will talk about the challenges in the military and defense sphere that ukraine faced in the 24th year. here as a starting point. the influential magazine time published 10 global risks for the world for this year, among

which the third place is, as it is written, a divided ukraine. in particular, the magazine's experts believe that ukraine will be de facto divided this year and... russia now has the initiative on the battlefield and a material advantage. and further: the 24th year is a turning point in the war. if ukraine does not solve its personnel problems. we are probably talking about the army, it will not increase the production of weapons and will not develop a realistic military strategy in the near future, its territorial losses may turn out to be permanent and may increase, according to time magazine. of course, challenges must be seen. although the halftime version, in my opinion, is a completely incomplete assessment, and it is much more important to understand how to cope with certain challenges, relying either on the help of partners, or on your own strength and to look for solutions that should really be

effective, whether it is about the situation on the front line or about our defense, the industry for the development of which we need to adopt the best world experience, as taras shevchen said. and why study and not shy away from your own. so, the challenges for ukraine and the search for recipes against resistance. we will talk about this in the next issue of our "war and weapons" program. my name is serhii zgurets, i am the director of the information and consulting company defense express, which, together with the expresso channel, strives to highlight the most current trends in defense industry and security. and now we are joined by valentyn badrak, director of the research center of the army of conversion and disarmament. military analyst and writer, mr. valentin, i congratulate you, glad to see and hear , congratulations, mr. serhiy, always very happy to join and work in this field, so to speak, i first mentioned about time magazine, where they assess challenges for the world,

however, in fact, not only the analysts of this publication do important work, there is also a similar work called five key challenges for of ukraine in the 24th year, and this is the work that was done jointly by you and as the director of the army research center for armament conversion and academician volodymyr horbulin, who is the vice president. of the national academy of sciences, and there are actually five main challenges laid out there, before which, well, you have to make some decisions and take into account their complexity or realism and somehow counteract them. we will talk about these challenges a little later, but in any case, now we are forced to react to reality, to the events that are currently happening in the world and how they intersect with the challenges that you have outlined in your... work, i first want you to now weigh and assess the

events that took place tonight, when the united kingdom and the united states launched such missile strikes against the houthi rebels in yemen as it affects the geopolitical schedule and how it affects those challenges that will then affect the realities in ukraine. i thank you sir. serhii, first of all i want to say that what happened last night, academician volodymyr horbulin and i have already been formalized into a certain, certain study, which immediately after, after this broadcast, you will be able to find on the website of the army research center conversions and disarmament, and surprisingly, there are five challenges. the five challenges that we previously identified for ukraine, at least

four today, can be considered as lessons and conclusions from the strikes by the coalition, led by the united states and great britain, and actually speaking, well, the only challenge left behind is mobilization , if necessary, we will talk about this challenge... separately, because they are all other challenges refer, strictly speaking, to the introduction of modern wars and the organization of the conduct of modern wars at the political level. so, let's try to remind ourselves, the audience, what happened tonight? tonight, the coalition delivered huge strikes on 16 targets, of which 60 targets were hit and used by... more than a hundred different high-precision systems,

missiles, bombs, in particular, there were british aviation bombs, guided bombs, well and and and in that rockets were used among the ships, which were used for the first time, for the first time in principle, that with this, well, i can't help but remember here that i am fortunately... one of the 12 ukrainians who managed to be physically on the aircraft carrier dwight eisenhower in 2007, when he was returning from the war in the persian gulf, i want to say that this is a super-powerful weapon , there were three generals among the 12, they were crying, really crying, because the ukrainians would like to get the weapon, or have it, or build it, but of course, no one but us will build it and... and those more than 70 planes, they

were constantly landing and constantly taking off for an hour, and that was it very so, such a spectacular thing, but now to business, yes, how is it, what can we learn from this for ourselves, for ourselves we can learn, first of all, a political lesson, that blows are not done easily. the united states could do all this on its own and deal with these houthis, it's not even a whole state, it's just a paramilitary formation in yemen, which now controls the capital, but it's still not even a state and a small state of yemen, but let's see, which the united states did, quickly organized with great britain coalition, it is extremely important, a coalition, a political coalition is a huge thing, and we know that canada,

australia, and bahrain spoke there, that is, from all corners of the world spoke, for us it is very necessary, because , in order to deal with putin's regime , first of all, we need this political solution, the presence of a coalition, without this, unfortunately, we will not, we will not destroy the regime without a coalition, without, even if we are given, well, of course, there may be, not frank public the decision that we want to destroy putin's regime, and i mean from a group of powerful countries, for example when they won't tell us anything... they will, but they will provide us with all the weapons we need, and then we will understand, we will return to these houthis, look, and the houthis are a military formation, which in the 21st year was recognized as a terrorist organization by the united states , it has all possible weapons, it is an order of magnitude higher than the missile arm, the houthis,

some houthis there, an order of magnitude higher than the armed forces of ukraine. they have ballistic missiles with a range of 200 km, then they also have missiles that are the development of iranian clones, and there are dog missiles of km, 1400 km, again, they have missiles that russia now wants to receive from iran and their advanced versions, which range from 700 to 1,300 km, again, i will not go through the exercise of listing these names here, but we see, missiles , they have an order of magnitude more than ukraine, in terms of range, and in terms of the number there, god himself knows how many there are, how many they have, plus they have these shaheds, 136,

yes, again, the range. and it is necessary to conclude from this that we are very seriously underarmed, second point, what, what does the anti-western coalition, of course, putin would like to rejoice, rub, clap his hands, regarding, regarding what has been achieved. to carry out an asymmetric attack on the anti-western coalition with someone else's hands, and it seems to be true, but not everything here, not everything looks like that, because we can remember that when hamas attacked israel on october 7, 2023, the houthis, in principle, acted on the parties of hamas and

tried several times to hit israel, but what was happening, well... first of all, in order to hit israel, they need to fly these missiles over the territory of saudi arabia, and so on, but not only missiles and drones, and this continued until the 31st, when actually on the 31st of october, the launches of these ballistic missiles with a range of 200 km, i 'll try to call them this... gader f yes, which have a warhead up to 800 kg, and their anti-missile defense system destroyed these missiles, it became hopeless for the houthis to launch a missile war against israel directly, what a lesson for us, let me remind you, air of free is

an anti-missile system that was developed jointly by israel and the united states, more than... half of the funds were allocated for this by the united states, and that means it was within the framework of the security agreement, when israel received more than 3 billion dollars annually and conducted joint development with the united states, for us this is a very important hint that , that the israeli model of security agreements and security guarantees, it is active, it works very well, and this... this war in the middle east has demonstrated, will it succeed, will iran succeed, which actually incited the houthis, incited that in the red sea there with civilian vessels waging war and promoting piracy and so on,

there the president of the united states talked about, it seems, 27 powerful attacks. which were inflicted and that many were struck at shipping in the red sea, but the point is not even that, the point is that the houthis were actually forced to choose another target instead of israel, and in this way iran and moscow, well that is tehran and moscow tried to carry out an asymmetric strike and scale. war in the middle east, and what did the united states and britain do with their coalition, they struck an extraordinary power, and this strike on... conventional power, more than 100, let's say, high-precision weapons, is a signal not only to the houthis to deliver them at once,

but it is a signal to iran and a signal to moscow that the first thing that the united states and the western coalition dominate in a military sense in the world and will not allow the escalation of wars, this is the signal that is very important for... us, what is the signal , taking into account that the houthis' weapons have been listed, of course, we have several programs that we call existential programs for ukraine, this is a rocket program, the drone program and the munitions program , all efforts should be thrown there, all efforts should be carried out , well, it would be possible to add the rebov program to it, it would be developing its figures as a trench reb program for the time being, but of course it must be scaled up and withdrawn, the funding in the fall was 5 % of all

financing projects for ukrainian weapons, ukrainian technologies, i think that this is a little too little, it should be increased somewhere so that it is possible to create both trench rap and radio electronic warfare systems, i will give you a little break now, because relatively speaking... uh now, what is important after these missile strikes on yemen, in fact there is a coalition of 12 countries that carried out a missile attack on the enemy with the clearly defined goal of destroying the enemy's military facilities there and minimizing the influence of this group on the security there in the red sea, and another the parallel is the russian federation and 50 countries that support us in the struggle. with the russian federation, there is also a coalition, and the question arises, then a clear understanding of the purpose of this coalition, because in fact until now there were all these fluctuations so that russia would not be there

won, ukraine did not lose, is this a sufficient goal for the potential of the coalition to really be concentrated on the scale of aid to ukraine that we really need, or is there not a certain gap regarding the not quite... clearly defined goals of the coalition and our needs, and that this story differs from the story of the short-term point-blank strike against the hussites. absolutely, i absolutely agree, because let's remember what winston churchill once said about germany and japan, he said that we will consider the complete destruction of the potential a victory. of nazi germany and japan, 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 then look at the fact that the liberation of the occupied territories of ukraine and the organization of... standing and deterrence of russia , this is still not there, therefore, that is why i believe that the coalition does not exist yet, so far there are only its contours, the contours of the countries, the contours of the coalition from the group of countries that provide sporadic assistance, who, in your opinion, for example, at first germany did not consider it an opportunity to provide powerful aid there, now, on the contrary, it is increasing it before... er, let's say it is a challenge that the united states can reduce aid, and germany, for example, in the 24th year doubled from 4 billion up to 8 billion euros

, or, let's say, japan very powerfully increased its aid to 4.5 billion dollars and will also support ukraine's anti-drone capabilities, while previously japan did not participate at all until the end of the 22nd year at all... 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 its occupied territories, including missiles with a range of 4,500 km, we need, well, at least 500 units of such missiles, if we count together and say missiles surface-to-surface and tactical level, and er... count missiles, cruise missiles, which we could get not only from france and germany, but, sorry, from france and great britain, but also from germany

taurus missiles. the infamous ones, which we can't convince berlin to hand over to us, well, that's it certainly, it is air support, it is airplanes and helicopters, it is also modern drones, and maybe even modern anti-aircraft systems, by the way, when we talk about anti-aircraft systems, one of the points of our opinion is the conclusions about these challenges are precisely... we are talking about the development of modern technologies, including at the expense of military-technical cooperation, here i want to mention such an example, which is extremely revealing, well, you can, but rainmetal is coming to us, yes on market, but rainmetal wants to start producing the old one with us combat vehicle fuchs and only then move to a new battle tank at some stage, already

when... even then can move to, let's say, joint production of some anti-aircraft systems, such as skynex, at the same time, look, hungary, which is, well, actually a collaborator within the eu, hungary and rheinmetall during the 23rd year, in the fall of the 23rd year, concluded two huge agreements, within the framework of which, and hungary in general, there is almost no defense industry there, but... within the framework of which there will be to be produced jointly with the germans, a new combat tank and joint air defense based on what i understand to be skynex, or even newer upgraded systems that rain metal presented at the 203 shows, now it's the same story the united states, which

in...india is ramping up production stryker machines, stryker combat machines, so part of this production is the creation on the basis of the striker machine of a super-powerful and ultra-modern complex of the army air defense complex, which will contain both the rebov complex and the complex of laser countering drones, so we see that even in the defense on... in the defense, even though we got the latest systems pro, patriot and sampt, there is, well, a certain lack of work, because i named now exactly the army complexes, that is those complexes that will protect our troops on the battlefield are not about peaceful cities, i am talking now, but about the advancement of the ukrainian army, and about the fact that we need to convince

our ... ners that we should not start with it is possible to do, but as for what we need in the first place, these air defense complexes, i will not say about the fact that in september 23, the united states armed itself with an army anti -drone system with a laser system, and we would not mind having such systems either. they have armed only one battalion so far, this is the newest complex, but at least as part of, say, testing such weapons, or as part of the joint promotion of laser anti-drone programs, because the united states conducts such joint actions with the british, and in the same september 23 in britain , a laser anti-drone system was simultaneously tested,

and... here i am talking about the fact that we have to make a hyperleap in the field of creating, using the latest technologies in war, this is where our biggest, so to speak, our opportunities are, the biggest and our biggest challenge for the future, although, of course, then , when we talk about challenges, i would still like to return to your work in order to convey these five challenges to our viewers. about which, which directions we are talking about, what is the meaning of each direction, and then we will then, perhaps, talk about some directions in more detail, taking into account the needs, opportunities of ukraine and our partners, so there are 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. either preservation or increase.
