the general of the armed forces of ukraine dmytro marchenko is in touch with me now, mr. dmytro, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine. yes, good day, heroes, glory. well, i would like to emphasize that dmytro marchenko takes care of a detachment of unmanned aerial vehicles, among other, of course, very responsible things in the armed forces, which are placed on your shoulders. ah, i would like to devote our conversation to the topic of unmanned aerial vehicles, because it is extremely... relevant right now, in general, it is uavs that have reached the level of development when they are used at the highest equal, both from our side and from the side of the enemy. according to your observations and according to your experience, who is now tracking the number, efficiency of their use and their production for war, us or the enemy? well, look, this information... it's a little bit not

public, well, but i can tell you something , that we have a very well-established system now, uh, the system of rebuilding these drones, that, well, that, it is a fact, the fact that they fly to the territory of the russian federation is also a fact, but, well, i want to remind you that, as far as me... it is known, well, we all know that drones are loved, they consist of spare parts of chinese, mainly chinese production, and as far as i know, it is precisely for fpv drones that the russians ordered from the chinese in the month of march , components for 50,000 drones, well , but i want to note that... at that time, we very

much exceed the efficiency of their use, and well, i think that a lot of people have seen these videos, but about the efficiency application, then we are definitely ahead, the rest, unfortunately, i’m sorry, i can’t tell you, mr. general, what about fpv technology in general, have ukrainians heard of it? six months ago, the most advanced, perhaps a year ago , and already now there is a call to learn to assemble, learn to complete, we understand that it is more difficult for us to get spare parts for these devices purely geographically than for the russian federation, can we, at least as of now , talk about some development of own production of spare parts, and what should be done for this, from your point of view? well, as far as i know, there are several... unfortunately,

i can't name them which ones at the moment, yes, which ones currently they are developing and providing us with these spare parts, it is there, but i think that in order for it to be mass-produced, some kind of government program is needed to support these manufacturers, and we could, well, although would partially replace the dependence on spare parts from china. ugh. why fpv? there is an opinion that it is with them that we are trying to cover, perhaps, the lack of ammunition for artillery. well, in fact, fpv technology is now replacing art a little bit. first of all, do you agree with this, because the views differ a little. someone says that it is completely impossible to replace artillery , and even more so to reinforce it with drones without... mediocre, but

definitely not to replace, well, definitely, i want to say absolutely definitely that it is simply impossible to replace artillery with drones, because artillery has completely different tasks, to create a blocking wagon or or use artillery when suppressing large-scale missiles, well, in these cases, fpv drones are not, well, no... but they somewhat replace the lack of ammunition that we have and perform tasks very effectively at short distances, well, to the enemy, and what, what are they effectively differ from artillery, it’s that the operator sees where he hits, that’s exactly what they are ... the main effective, well, but for sure it

won’t replace artillery, and artillery has completely different tasks and without using artillery, well, i i think that the war is not... left on our part. ugh. literally, again, a year ago you could see a huge number of gatherings among volunteers, in particular for reconnaissance drones, in particular for the same maviks. colleagues and tv viewers and i have repeatedly gathered for matrices and requests of our defenders, and on the same poseidons, very valuable pieces. but now we see that the need for sam has decreased. in this type of uav , what is it connected with, they may not have shown themselves as expected, or again are there cheaper substitutes, well, as far as i know, it has not decreased, it is just partially closed at the expense of the state, then

yes, the state has already begun to purchase them at the state level, and just so you understand, an fpv drone is a drone that flies once in one direction. and of course, that is, if the mavic can to be used there for weeks, months, then the fpv drone is disposable, well, for one-time use, so against the background of this, well, it seems simple that these are bought more and those are less, well, as far as i know, there is a need for them and it will be, and this is the opinion, probably a little. wrong, but there is also a great need for fividrons, and now it is being actively emphasized that there are also means of countering uav technologies, these are also things that

it would be good for ukrainians to learn how to make, who can, and preferably at a fairly high level levels, systems electronic warfare, right? there are already precedents, when in fact we see that the enemy learns both from our experience and from his own, and this must also be taken into account. literally recently, the verkhovna rada adopted the issue of simplifying the import into our country, in particular of components for radio-electronic warfare. can we say that this need is being promptly closed now, at least on the front line? well, as far as i know, yes, we have several enterprises, about 18, which already independently produce reb systems, under, well, yes, the people call them a dome, er, yes, assembling, we still depend on

foreign manufacturers, but you understand how the enemy learns, so we learn, that is , we constantly, we do not become in place, we are constantly... developing, so i will say that thanks to such brilliant work of our specialists, we have greatly reduced the use of the eagle in the south of ukraine, eh, they no longer fly the way they used to fly, that is, they use them already in such in critical cases, and this is due to the fact that we have learned something, unfortunately, i cannot tell you details, but we have already learned how to make them so that... they do not fly here, or if they fly, they fall. this applies only to orlans, or is there hope for a similar trend with other drones? literally in october of the previous year, the russians boasted of destroying one of our airfields in the dnipropetrovsk region. fortunately , usinkanalitik confirmed at the time that they were most likely attacking

some false target, but the very precedent of their flying tens of kilometers to the pacific worried many people at the time. well, how much i know there was a nedron there. there was a rocket, so they misled their people and our people a little bit, but that’s enough of them, well , you see it yourself, they use types quite often and quite powerfully, such types as shachet, such types as lancet , which yes , unfortunately, they are impressive, but even against them we have already, we have already found, we have already found a way out, and we are using it right now... as far as i know, there was already a test of the first copies, and i think that in in the near future we will provide our groups with exactly such means in order to

in order for them not to be able to harm our human resources, about the group, well, you noticed, and i can't help but ask, i think that many ukrainians are hearing and it arouses great curiosity, more information, of course , we probably after the war, we will find out who they are, the korshons, dima's uncles, tell us at least a little. from what is possible, well, these are ordinary people, it was an experimental project of chief commissar valery zaluzhnyi, at the beginning of last year, exactly, in a month we will have a year, we created such an experimental unit of uavs, which includes military, as well as nsu, and policemen, these are people who in... were already trained or had a great desire to learn how to work on drones, on

wings, that is, our tasks include development, adjustment of artillery and independent damage by drops, these are ordinary people, who are motivated, highly motivated, who do not need to be leveled, explained, who simply know their task and fulfill it every day. and the main thing is that the whole of ukraine very often actually feels this, since the enemy continues its attacks precisely from the southern direction, and in particular on the security of the southern direction you are also working with your team, and what mr. dmytro, the main trends you would highlight as of today is precisely in the south, if of course we can talk about it, we understand that the situation is it is positioned at some moments, at some points and in some

areas, the russians have gathered forces and are going to press on your operational zone, what are the main features of the war today? oh, well , it's more of an oppositional war, unfortunately, i can't say much, but i can say that our fighters, our command, half a day. odesa, they very successfully plan containment operations, that is, they now want to use their units there to repel us from the left bank of the dnieper, but they do not succeed, our fighters, god bless you, successfully repel their attacks, i even want to give an example where it is on the surface. they asked to enter in three groups in order

to repulse our fighters and it was fpv drones that repelled these attacks. ugh. and on the other hand , we understand that the provision of everything that our defenders on the left bank need, it also very often happens with using uav technologies. in principle, the military talks about this quite often, and it is open information. is the enemy trying to counter in this direction precisely along the dnipro water area? yes, of course, he constantly keeps under fire control the water, you understand, the main road to the other side, but we, our guys, succeed, i want to say that our units were repeatedly approached by teams to help us them to transfer to that shore... both provisions and ammunition, uh, people who can help us in the occupation, yes, we

we understand that this is an extremely valuable resource, eh, and actually, how actively they manifest themselves in the southern direction, i understand that this is a very thin summer, on which we will not walk and hum now, but still it is important for many ukrainians to understand, how much people in the occupation generally work. with us shoulder to shoulder for a common goal, or is a certain despair and perhaps expectation of just waiting also taking place here? well, look at the people of kherson already in kherson, they have already proved to our country, to the whole world, that they do not want to be either russia, or anyone else, or anyone be different, that's why, of course, these are the people... who don't want russia to be in their homes, they help us, they

show inhuman abilities, in those very difficult conditions, they find, they find, they find an opportunity to provide us with this, that valuable information that helps us hit the enemy precisely, accurately and timely and... does the position of these people vary in any way depending on how long they have been occupied and on how far they are directly from the battle line . collision, well, for example, kherson people here there are no questions, but the residents of the temporarily occupied crimea, well, i will say that there are people in crimea as well who do not want russian peace there, they want it to be ukraine, and they also help us and will continue

to help us, and well, you understand, these are people. who are forced to stay there, taking care of their homes there, of some pretended parents there, they are also forced to be there, but they definitely do not want there to be a russian peace, that is why they help us as much as they can, they find channels, find , find they are an opportunity and give us that valuable information that i have already told you about, so simply. i would like to note that quite a long time ago in the attached messages of probably one of the most extensive publics in telegram in our country, mykolaiv vanyok, about whom i, as a media person, can now speak, because i know that in principle you also have elements of certain cooperation, i don't pretend and i don't ask which

one exactly, but less and less, for a longer time there is a message with an appeal to the crimeans that a... the war is approaching their doors all closer and closer, and they may eventually help to end it faster, would you like to believe that they are responding to these calls? yes, they respond, they help, i will say that we have very, very much information, i get it from mykolaiv vanko, he has a very powerful network of this partisan movement, he already has a proven one. people who helped us there from the first days of the war and are still helping us, therefore, when he provides us with information, it cannot be checked or checked. ugh, successful interaction, i understand, of our civilian sector and military. hello to mykolaivskyi vanko, then we will pass it all together. mr. dmytro, thank you for this conversation, i understand that

now we are somewhat limited in commenting on the most important topics, but thank you, these are... important points that were made, in particular for our viewers and listeners, dmytro marchenko, general of the armed forces of ukraine was in touch with me, and i am very grateful to everyone who made this interview possible. there are 10% discounts on lyzak in the pharmacies of psaryznyk, pam and ochad, there are discounts on zipelor, 10% at the pharmacies psarynsky vam and ochad. tired of heavy and bulky saws, then the unpack tv strong saw is just for you, with it you can easily cut trees and bushes, it is so convenient to use it for carpentry work,

congratulate you, good day, probably, good day would be more appropriate, because our topic will not be very fun with you, we have raised it on our broadcasts more than once. we are talking about the film community, which is increasingly divided, about the ukrainian one, of course. and well , it seems to me that we've reached a kind of new apogee in this division now, because the so-called confrontation is heating up, and we're going to talk about it, the fact is that a large number of ukrainian cinematographers, there are also film critics, journalists, wrote a letter to the representatives of the authorities, including the president, the chairman of the verkhovna rada, the prime minister of ukraine, that they refuse, or they want to... ask to be redirected the money that will be allocated for cinema for the next year, for this year, or rather for 2024, give all this money to drones, well, in general, the defense forces. now we

will find out why people who are directly interested in coming to pitching and winning in a fair competition money to make a movie and earn money, in particular, to travel with this movie to various film festivals, to represent ukraine, why are they asking the authorities not to let them give this money to the defense forces, so if we talk about the division of our film community, well i want to remind you, my friends , that they are divided: they are in two camps, relatively speaking, one is the opposition to state cinema and to maryna kudarchuk, these people criticize the head of state cinema, say that she is ineffective , unprofessional, and that she generally disgraces our the country is already at the international level and is destroying cinema, and that it is impossible to live like this, it must be released and a new competition announced, and the other part of the film industry, who, on the contrary

, defend state cinema, defend... kuderchuk and these are mostly people who specialize on commercial cinema, who, perhaps , zara also worked on television series before, then went to the cinema, and they are very, very concerned with commercial ukrainian cinema, they often treat the author's documentary cinema with such disdain, saying that it does not make money, why is it in general, it is necessary, here are these people near the state cinema, they are holding on to mine. with warnings, these people are also divided into different such groups, some understand very well that maryna kudarchuk is an ineffective person, but they compromise, because they have to somehow survive, they have to shoot movies, they have to organize their own different film festivals , but the other some of them absolutely do not understand what the problem is and do not agree with the fact that there is a problem, they say that our cinema is developing wonderfully, look, we have some contracts with netflix, and well, that's all...

everything is fine and no resignation is necessary, it's all betrayal. well, what i want to say is that now we have seen that this part, which is in the opposition, wrote this letter. i will say that earlier, some months ago , there were conversations within the community about the fact that pitching was announced, pitching will be announced for 2024, it will be with record funding, it is 589 million and... 6000 uah, really a lot, and let's go to go there or not, because some people say, of course, to go, because we have the right, it's not derzhkino's money, it's not money maryna kudarchuk, this is taxpayers' money, and we have the right to come to this competition and try our best and try to win it, others say that it is unprincipled, they are generally disgusted to deal with such a person as mrs. maryna and all that state cinema, and they believe that it is not very important

to come there. you have to refuse, and then already in december, somewhere in the middle of december, maryna stepanska, director and screenwriter, wrote a post that began with the words that the state cinema budget for 2024 should go to drones. she says that this is not an emotional call, but a completely rational, the only logical solution in the given conditions, she talks about the negativity of the processes, about censorship, about ignoring the urgent needs of the filmmakers themselves, and so on, and now we see... what is obvious in the community somehow it was discussed on this matter and they really decided that this is a way out, this money should be refused, because it will still be spent illegitimately, let it be better to buy drones or anything else for the needs of the defense forces, i will say that among the signatories of this letter , its already signed, more than 600 people put their signatures there, and there are a lot of cinematographers who are currently at war, who

are... at the same time military personnel, including yaroslav pilunskyi, a cinematographer, and serhiy lysenko, and yuriy gruzinov, and volodymyr yatsenko, producer, serhiy mykhalchuk, cinematographer , in general, people who understood from the very beginning of the war in 2014 that cinema is important, culture is important, it must be supported, that it is a weapon, they have now come to the conclusion that under such conditions you have to refuse, but i will present to you... another point of view of people who support state cinema, and very recently there was a zino winter film market from the odesa film festival, there gathered people from this, let's say, pro-dershkin party of the majority, well, this is such a big, big event in general, which takes place every winter and in the summer it is also there, cinematographers gather there and solve some issues related to the market, there was really a lot of interesting things, but there was a panel.
