this is our neighboring brigade, we all do a common thing together. we have been in the south of bakhmuta for a long time and are in active defense. but if we talk about these kamikaze drones, let's remind people once again what their importance is, why they are needed, and how many of them, for example, these kamiyakadze drones, our enemies have? well, the enemy has a lot more drones, and with that number, it's impossible to even, well, well, try to repeat it. here we are, we are working. not the quantity, but the quality of use in the first place, but we need a lot of drones, and that i guess i just didn’t hear about your collection, firny immediately joined in, it’s fp drones, apparently yes they are collecting, we need a lot of fp drones, and for a few days we had an example when we had more drones than usual, usually up to 10 drones, he had 30 and stopped about the breakthrough of armored vehicles nine units destroyed one calculation of shock bopel thanks to fpv drones, for which you collect money of the 93rd brigade. a very

effective tool in the hands of pilots who know how to use it, and this video, by the way , is also ours, it is the work of night bombers, babaiga, as it is called, is the destruction of a tank with detonation, and then the pursuit of infantry, the enemy in their positions, that is, we also bombard their personnel, so that they are there, you say, mr. olyss, that now there are many more drones in comparison russian federation, but there was no such situation. i don’t know, two years ago, a year ago, how the russians managed to increase the number of drones in such a way in 2022, when our kyiv units were in kharkiv oblast, we had the south of kharkiv oblast then as much as one mavic, the second, by the way, not even the third , and we flew and found tanks 3 km from us , that is, at that time, they did not even use t-shirts and no one had even heard the word fpv about fpv drones. first appeared

on the hearing at the beginning of the 23rd year, only and only by the summer, it is already clear to everyone that this is an effective weapon, which can really be used to deliver explosives to the target, currently this technology continues to develop, it is a lego constructor, it is there 7 inches, 8 inches, 10 inches, and the improved technology is already used at night, well here we work, this fron can hit point-blank, well... this is the same breakthrough we talked about, nine hours from the technique, that is, it was destroyed by fpv drones, uh, according to our calculation, that is, we literally started with such a small number, and of course, now the value is much more than all this, but the novorossians, then, it seems, they were not at all ready for the fact that it was a war of drones, but they adjusted very quickly, well, yes, they caught up with us in this regard and caught up there in plan they have fpv much more and what about you do you think a person who is good, well, who deals

with those drones, regarding minister fyodorov's calls that they should be assembled there at home, those drones, this is a working, working story, in principle, drones can be assembled at home, this is true, this is oleg's construct, i repeat , if these people who are meeting at home will be given the right technical means for this and will monitor that all of this has ended up in shorter terms in specific units that use it, in principle it is working. i will say that even high school students help us here and they give us drones that they assemble at home, a separate story is the assembly of batteries, you can not assemble drones, you can assemble batteries, because very often the same volunteers, when they buy a drone, they buy it without its battery, because battery quality is always a problem, and we ourselves very often collect them right on the front lines in our engineering laboratories from small new batteries. we collect a large

rechargeable battery for drones, then you can also make them at home and that's it monotonous serial technical process, which can be done simply, i understand that it is possible to assemble from some components, but when assembling, if we do not produce them ourselves, we have to import these components from other countries, that is, we have to purchase them, give these sets to people, and they will collect for specific units, working history in principle, if this is also done, it will work, because... it already exists, in fact , each unit has such massive reserves of non-military people who help specific units, it is possible make on equal to the country easily. you said about the school children who collect these drones, what is the quality of these children collecting, because there is a lot of talk that it will be of poor quality, uncontrolled, well we, when we get a drone, we don't have one who got a drone , they put it somewhere on a shelf, and then they woke up early...

the french took it where they went to work, each drone is included in a specific calculation, shock bpola, they look at what kind of drone it is, what technical properties it has. if it is a drone of a new manufacturer, for example, well, some kind of not serial, and which we do not know, it first goes to the test site, it is flown, that is the term, and they look at its properties there, how it holds there, it happens that the frames are already made in ukraine independently for drones, and here, too, they are not they immediately fly correctly, because when you attach the battery, attach the bc, it can fly in zaporizhzhia, there is effective and ineffective vibration, there the camera shakes a lot, so, well, we know what we are working with, and something new is always being tested, well, actually, because it is the critics of this opinion who believe that it is not a substitute for a full-fledged one production and production lines, where there is unification, where there is standardization, where

, accordingly , many factories are cheaper due to conveyor production, this is even assembly and there is also quality control at once, well, this is about what there is criticism. in the principle of these ideas, well , i remind them a little, to be honest , you know, time will tell what works and what doesn’t, we already have a lot of mini- drone factories in ukraine with which we work, each one has its own the name of these drones, they are actually all the same, but they have some sort of mini-brand, for me, the question is whether we can present it not only as a possibility of components, but also to produce something in ukraine itself so that it is made in ukraine, what is called drones and... less then depend on the supply, well, this is it of course, the question is about the economy , well, in principle, there is already partial import substitution, the same frames are already actively used and produced in ukraine, it is true, uh, eh, or something, mr. olysia, can you hear what is happening now under avdiivka,

avdiivka, about avdiivka you can't say, we we are working on the boom of the southern flanks, we will get all the rest of the news from the news, clear telegram channels and television. the situation with mobilization, there appeared again a publication in the sunday times about the fact that the average age of military personnel in ukraine is more than 40 years, and this remains a problem, and in principle, a problem with equipment, it is again on pause somehow the law on mobilization, in a word , what do you think about how you can top up. employees are now on the front line? well, i'm 44, i'm 44 years old, that's probably the middle age, we need all of them they say drones, drones, drones, we need a lot of drones, we also need pilots to control these drones, not only pilots, engineers,

and drivers, and there are all other professions there, we are now a battalion, we are looking for people, there are several people every week we invite and lead direct answers to our friend. that is, if someone is going to serve in the army, or someone has been suspended, we very much invite you to our unit of the brigade, and we have a question, this is ours, thank you for advertising ours, yes, this is our unit, our shock battalion bpola invites you to come to us, we have three principles, first of all - the health and life of the soldier, secondly - technical means of preservation and thirdly, the fulfillment of the mission, that is, we do not fulfill the mission at any cost, that is... on first of all, life and health are war. how or how can you be reached, except that the person has received a summons. a person can still press the summons and decide, let's say i will serve in the army, i want to get to achilles, we have a link,

you fill out google forms, if you are not in the military, there is one form, if you soldier, i can transfer you to our unit, you can use this qr code to go now, right? yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. and fill out the questionnaire in the google form, we have a special person, our officer who is engaged in recruiting, communicates, if he sees that the person is motivated, intelligent, and he can be one of us, then we will be very happy to join our unit , we have very good service conditions and we are all determined to survive and win this war, that is, we invite you to us, mr. olesya, maybe this... will probably sound implausible, maybe there is a competition for several people for one place, no, there is no such competition, but we do not take everyone, indeed, who calls us, well, there are different ones, for example, a person calls, he is already there, for example,

an officer is already an active unit, and we do not have such a vacancy, or a person who is in the process of dialogue, we understand that he is a little not our format. er, personnel, we also say, thank you very much, well, it doesn't suit us, but there are people who immediately say yes, oh, yes, come to us, everything is there, what you need, they are all full for you. service, what qualities do you have, what qualities do you expect from a good, i don't know, drone operator , smart, responsible, these are all qualities , okay, able to learn, and a non-conflictual, friendly element, so, dear friends, those who are watching us now, maybe you heard a conversation with soles malyarevich, they are looking for new fighters, inviting them to join them. a company of akhiles strike unmanned aviation complexes of the 92nd separate assault brigade named after koshovogon ivan sirk. now you see

the corresponding qr code on your screens, which you can follow, or just google achilles, looking for google the form, fill it out, and then there will be a conversation, and based on the results of this conversation, you may pass and serve with mr. oles. mr. olesya, are you at work, a demanding person? of course, well... each other's lives depend on us, on everyone, there are already enough of us , there will be more, and for example, even now, when people who are studying come to us, they sometimes make mistakes that can lead to loss of life and health, that's it, and we don't allow this, that is, if a person is responsible, he is with us, of course will serve, it will be comfortable for him to serve, we have really comfortable... services, because most of us are civilians who brought to the armed forces of ukraine something from

civilian life from business, which we were actively engaged in before the war, that is we have such , you know, not a private company, we are the 92nd brigade and it is an honor to serve here, but we have brought something new, our service elements have brought and cultivated in our unit, that is , we have comfortable conditions of service with respect, we reveal all talents, we have engineers , there was a pilot, he became an engineer. we also have such technologies there are already specialists, it can be said that it is interesting work, and even after the war, many of our soldiers will actively apply this knowledge in other areas, that is, we serve and develop and do not waste time, that is, our people develop, their minds are trained technically and the world is pumping out new qualities, new skills. to be in the army, how long does it take to learn from you, but have you ever counted how much it takes

a really smart pilot to become a great pilot, it takes about 5 months, but when a person is patient with us, he starts take one one two courses there, if he hasn’t done it before, then he starts to work with calculations little by little, watches how it ’s done, then after about four or five months he is already actively working on his own, because... control drones, and that it is difficult enough, and this technology, the technology is actively developing, here you need to have more and more knowledge for this, that is, there is no one who took a drone and flew, here you already have to be an ace in order to work effectively and not lose technical means expensive, but nothing is impossible, if a person is smart, then everything will work out, it is not a problem at all , well, we wish you new arrivals... to your company of attack unmanned aircraft complexes achilles of the 92nd separate assault

brigade named after koshovoy taman ivan sirk, to those who watch us, we remind you that you can also submit your application, and then, after the interview, you may be lucky enough to work with mr. oles, who claims that their people not only learn, learn something new, but also develop. dear friends, we are going to take a short break now, then we will come back and talk with our serhii zgurts, a military expert , director of the defense express company, about matters at the front and matters surrounding the war in ukraine, stay with us, hello, hello, woman, what to do when there is a liver, alohol must be taken, and for bile what? alochol protects both the liver and gallbladder, the natural components of alochol contribute to the normalization of the liver and gallbladder, alochol with care and respect for the liver and gallbladder. there are 20% discounts on citric in pharmacies, plantain for you and thrift store. oh, and got wet. would you like some tea? mom,

account, and now we already have uah 800, uah 819 and 41 kopecks we have already collected kamikaze drones this morning. mr. serhiy, we congratulate you. good morning, greetings to you, greetings to our viewers. let's start, probably with the news, with the research of the war, who claim to see the movement, have already seen the movement of russian troops through the streets of avdiyivka. well, when we talk about the situation around avdiivka and in avdiivka itself, it really remains extremely difficult, because the enemy is now applying and continues to apply pressure. to avdiivka from several directions, starting there from the south, on the steppe, on kokhsokhim between steppe kosokhim, from kamianka and of course from the south, so the information on the south has been for two days, the enemy has pushed our defenses from the south to the south and there is actually one

on the support. point as a populated place , rather, let's say this, well, from the south there is an advance on several streets, but in fact it is just from the traffic line, from the yasenvats junction, there are indeed reports from our analysts' houses that the enemy is trying to enter in avdiivka, and in principle it is quite complicated situation, because it means that the enemy is trying to, well, break into... the rear of our formation, which continues there, is holding the defense, i hope that some countermeasures will be taken to prevent... further enemy advance, but we understand that there is a significant the number of enemy personnel , which is now concentrated around avdiyivka, complicates this task, and the question

is how the general staff will now find such a balance between our forces and the reserve in order to restrain the enemy's advance. in fact, we see red eyes on this map arrows, these are the areas, these directions , from which the enemy is trying to break through to avdiyivka and surround kyivka, and we hope that now the armed forces are resisting the enemy as tightly as possible so that there is no further advance, also the news that the russians have taken one village in the kupinsky direction in the kharkiv region, krokhmalne, yes, does this mean anything, how far they have advanced there, well, the information on krokhmalne, as well as the information of the two-day where yes... indeed, this is an area some 20 kilometers from svatovoy, this village is located behind the highway between kupyansk and isvatov, there is an area

that the enemy was able to push back from our force defense within 18 km, and in fact, well, the command of the ground forces says that our troops retreated to... positions, in any case, we understand that actually between krokhmalny and novosedlivskyi, where the route passed, our garrison in berestovo is located there, that is, in fact, the enemy is trying to create prerequisites for advancing to kupyansk, this information was known in principle and before, we understand that this direction remains a sufficiently high priority for the enemy, a significant amount has been accumulated there. personnel, and these hostilities , which continued there for several days , caused these changes on the map,

the starch situation on the one hand does not look critical there, let's put it this way, well, the tactical successes of the enemy in a certain area, but it must be understood, so that this dynamic does not spread to the entire route between kupyansk and svatovo, because this is the first step that, relatively speaking, the enemy is now... trying to implement in parallel with the attacks on kupyansk from senkivka, which have been going on for a considerable time and without success, and actions in the lyman zone, where the southern part of our line of defense from kupyansk to kreminay, where this line of defense is actually being obtained, in fact, biden's representatives in... communicating with the congress, said that if aid to ukraine is not restored, then ukraine will be held from several weeks to several months, as far as these words that

are transmitted by the western media can be true, well, in any case how do we understand that the dynamics on the front line largely depend on the assistance of the united states, because on certain types of support. the states provide a unique component, but we understand that now the potential of european countries is significantly unfolding, if we remember the packages that were announced by germany and great britain, but when we try to predict the time indicators of changes on the front line, then these statements from two weeks, several months and so on, in fact they are rather, as is known, oriented towards the american political elite for approval of quick solutions, partly aimed at our partners in european countries, who should provide more active assistance to ukraine, but any reality on

the front line, i think it is quite difficult to predict. now we understand that for a long time, starting , to put it bluntly, from the beginning of the year, now the enemy has intensified offensive actions almost along the entire front line, these advances... of the enemy and attempts to advance are restrained by our armed forces, the dynamics of the advance are as follows that it is associated with significant losses the enemy, but in any case we understand that in a certain way the lack of ammunition, the limitations of equipment, sometimes the lack of personnel, all this creates additional difficulties for our armed forces, and therefore powerful and fast packages of american aid, of course would stabilize the situation and help the armed forces. it is more effective to carry out active counter-stopping actions, american military aid is actually frozen, at the same time i read that, for example, the pentagon is selling modern equipment to japan. 200 pieces by

the end of this year, by 2025, and you do you understand that those 200 tomahawks wouldn't have bothered us either, or is it, well, i don't know, it's just how we perceive it, or does it mean that the americans could actually solve the problems on the battlefield in ukraine this way? well, the potential of the united states really allows you to significantly influence the situation on the battlefield, because when we talk about... in particular, the delay in military assistance. the president of the united states has other options for providing assistance to ukraine, because now we are talking about the fact that these weapons are being taken from stockpiles of the us department of defense, but there are other versions of aid in ukraine, when, for example, a certain amount of weapons can be determined as not necessary for the defense of the united states, such a legislative decision

exists in... the powers of the president there for an amount within the limits of there 500 million dollars a year, and in particular, there is a certain number of thousands of bradley fighting vehicles or other models, in principle it can be fixed that they can be transferred to ukraine precisely for this variation of the appropriate weapons from the united states, so that this option for the united states exists, i think that it can also be involved. when we talk about such types of weapons that have not been transferred before, in particular, like tomahawk cruise missiles, then i think that the ukrainian side should raise the issue of the possibility of transferring such missiles to ukraine, because they are really the most long-range of of what can be transferred to ukraine, and in fact this should be such a significant response to the fact that the russian federation, in particular, is betting on cooperation with north korea and trying to increase the number of these medium-range missiles

ranges that are already used for strikes on ukraine, so now we think it is very important to change this paradigm regarding the use of foreign weapons, in particular american, european for strikes on the territory of the russian federation and the use of such missiles as "tomagt", well , it would be ideal for these goals yes, well, there is quite a bit of time left, the british times, specifically the sunday times, published a large article in the sunday edition about the fact that in... in the country , 43 years old is what they call the average age of military personnel, in particular, regarding and of the assault brigades, what is happening now in the situation on the battlefield and they believe that unfortunately i did not hear your question , it is extreme, it broke, eh, the british publication writes to the times that the average age of a ukrainian serviceman is 43 years old now on the front line and they write , that it became a problem, well, in fact, this story is also not new, it was talked about before, now it is a question of

strengthening. of the armed forces at the expense of mobilization, i think, comes to the fore, and these age indicators, in relation to which fighters are the most adequate to perform combat tasks, they should be taken into account in the format of this law on mobilization, which is currently at the stage of discussion, lowering the age to 25 years can probably contribute to improving the composition of our military contingent on... front, but it must be understood that this should be accompanied in parallel with approaches to the technological conduct of hostilities and issues, in particular such things as fortification, other directions that are directly related to the preservation of personnel, that is, it is not only a question of age, but also of commanders' approaches to quality use of subordinates on the battlefield. mr. serhiy, thank you, serhii zgurets, military expert, director of the defense express company, was in touch with us, further on our broadcast will be about...

colleagues from radio svoboda freedom of the morning, and of course at 9:00 a.m. we honor the memory of those ukrainians whose lives were cut short by russian aggression. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war unleashed by russia.
