that is why the decision as a symbol that europe is united, it characterizes europe more than ukraine, europe is united, and it is a beautiful symbol, ukraine with europe, let's talk about our internal affairs, well, now we will wait, of course, for a decision of the senate of the united states of america, which congress should approve the allocation of aid for ukraine, we are waiting for it, but inside the country there are processes that are... important for the future in the war and in general for the future life of ukrainians at this time of this great war . let's talk about the law on mobilization, which they have already next week, somewhere i was told so , on the sixth, as far as i understand, they should already be submitted for consideration by the people's deputies in the session hall, there are certain nuances, they appear in the mass media, what will be there it is provided that it is not provided for, electronic subpoenas, criminal. if you haven't

even seen your summons in your e-mail account for three days, you are already responsible, plus there are many other nuances that can limit the rights of citizens, again, well, and and and other things, in your opinion, it is a compromise document from what it shows, and what is the high probability that it will be adopted in this form? well, at least he will survive some discussion and some clarifications, it is very important at this stage to give and... receive such a signal that after all , it is not necessary to build a feudal state, not a feudal state with forced labor, yes, but to build a modern one, and modern implies to encourage people and create such social and economic conditions that for 100 vacancies in the army we would have 150 applicants, it is realistic, it is realistic, but feudal means and measures for

humiliation and coercion never gave a plus, of course there are, especially those people who actually served, of course there are such attitudes that as clearly as possible, as harshly as possible and so on, but again, the goal can be achieved by other means, also without rocking the boat , also without delaying and so on, precisely by decency, precisely by the implementation of the law, precisely by the fact that... the military did not later prove that they were military, or did not prove according to these queues, according to payments, or god forbid, the wounded and does not receive on time payment and so on and so on, all this can be regulated, worked out, and so on, once again a short thesis that feudal measures are not effective, that is why we wish our deputies that they are considered after all.. . they read, at least the law

, they still refined it to the level that it would be adopted, that it would be useful, oh, that it would be useful for the armed forces of ukraine, and the people would support it, well, absolutely, the goal of our state and the people now, and society and politics, of course victory in this war, and it can be achieved when there is an effective army, the most important army is provided, the economy has to work here. business should not be afraid of investments, well, not investments, help from partners is coming, but this help may be possible when there are no corruption scandals inside the country, well , let's say, volodymyr zelensky somehow so suddenly dismissed the head of the department for the protection of the nation state, the security service of ukraine, well, supposedly a position that few people know about, but this is a person who, in one way or another, journalist bohdan botkevich wrote about it, was responsible for, well, as they say, cooperation or er, it's not control. but monitoring

the work of mass media, it is also important during the war, of course, so that there are none, but not after this scandal with biguus-info with nikulov, after the conversation of journalists with the ambassadors of the big seven behind closed doors, this is the release of a person , to which, as they say, she may be the answer, not that it may be, these are the people who are responsible for this position, but how can it be commented and explained, will they understand after such a move... those people in the bank, who did not understand this, perhaps i am not saying that this is president zelensky, of course there are many people there, and that we should not turn into russia and consider the zmi either tame dogs, or dangerous ones that should be closed, intimidated and not allowed to work , well , for sure, the mass media are not the enemy of the state, the polarity of views, some kind of democracy... critics, all this

can be, even during the war, but certainly, i do not rule out that information flows. need to be monitored, that's for sure of course, it is necessary to monitor, moreover , to work against dumping and so on, it is necessary, that’s it, but when to bend the stick and persecute journalists who might become, including investigators who might come in handy, yes, because even in the west with a powerful army, with a powerful intelligence, most often uh... the mass media first of all then know the information, then it gets to the intelligence, strangely enough, this is even from the history of the united states of america, where cnn first announces , yes, and, the intelligence will find out there on half a day later, therefore mass

media is, well, a structural and constitutional element of our statehood, maybe even an element of our stability, that is. in fact, if closed , it is a source of information, yes, free media, as far as they can be free today, it means closing the mouth of society, which will give the authorities, well, for a while , the absence of criticism, that is, a certain and certain vacuum, but in the end , this will destroy the government in all senses, that's why... well, the situation, again, is quite, quite specific, yes, one hand wants, one hand voted for freedom and democracy, and the other hand wants to squeeze the throats of the free press or free journalists, well , such is the moment of time, i absolutely

support your opinion here, i know, i will ask in general, about, well, these throws and ... anonymous and not-so-anonymous telegram channels, then there was information from foreign mass media confirming that there was an attempt, not that there was an attempt, there was a meeting in president zelenskyi's office, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general valery zaluzhnyi , well, there was supposedly talk about his resignation, or how it should have been framed, this is the second issue, and this issue has not been removed from the agenda, and society continues to wait for an end to be put, at least in this story, or then there will be a continuation, and then... there will be a different situation, in your opinion, what is it like from a political, again, political science point of view, who can benefit from it and is it not worth it, maybe it would be difficult at this stage stage of the war, when we are short of ammunition, when our troops are now forced to keep the enemy's great pressure, well

, for sure, a change of the head would certainly not be beneficial, please, uh, well, all the signs of an information attack are obvious, they are obvious, so another question is whether this... the testing was to see the public reaction, or just a premature leak from where the decision was discussed, times. the second thesis is the change of the commander-in-chief, it is definitely high risks, because they are related to communications, related to understanding in a specific structure. for one thing, the country is in a state of peace, so something can be done there experiment. that's it. the experiment may be expensive, very expensive, yes, this is the first thesis, the second, will it give any privileges or dividends to the president, no, it will not, regardless of the fact that he may be pushed to this decision, regardless of the fact that the president has trust and rating, yes, such

a decision can begin to destroy his personal rating, two, can this be expected in mr. there is some kind of political threat in the commander-in-chief, i mean, political, sorry, not a threat, a political competitor, valery zaluzhnyk demonstrates himself as a statesman, an expert in his field, which is extremely important, and there is not even a hint of political ambitions or competition in this area, so this topic should be closed and postponed, and the key question is whether there are groups in the political community... who are interested in i am weak-minded, of course there is, of course there is, that's why, regardless of all the statements or articles there, including, it seems , cnn, yes in the information streams, three days,

three days to change the hard-working one, i will still keep my hand for the president not to pushed for this decision, but once again i emphasize whether there are groups... groups that are not interested in the commander-in-chief, in the talking head, who will start telling you that you need to cede territory, negotiate, peace there and more. some and so on, there are usually such groups, and that is why i emphasize once again that the authorities should be better prepared for self-purification in a common sense, and the sbu should help in this by identifying, identifying, including agents, because from what is there leaders of opzzhashugali slightly, this does not mean that their agents are spread over all bodies and at all levels of government, do not stay at work. on his customer , unfortunately this is also true, mr. rostislav, unfortunately, time

is running out, but thank you for the professional comments, rostislav balaban, candidate of political sciences, well, really, this is an examination of the maturity and , above all, the independence of the president and supreme the commander-in-chief of ukraine, because in any case in history later the responsibility for everything will be primarily on him, not on someone there, on him, and this is his maturity, his responsibility, his independence, this is the most important thing, this is the most important thing, he has to be... sensitive to everyone, but he must be independent, this is his decision, his position, well, serhiy zurets has a position with us, he is the host of the military summaries of the day column, and the director of the defense-express agency, and let us speak today about the situation , well, there is very good news from the fields, and from the fields of battles and from the seas of battles, please, sergey, good evening, i congratulate you, vasyl, i congratulate our viewers, indeed, today in our military column we will talk about the destruction russian missile boat ivanovets. drones and strikes on belbek airfield already has preliminary results and about the priorities and opportunities of ukraine in

the development of unmanned complexes, this will be discussed with the head of the taf drones company. more on that in a moment. so, i'll start with the good news. the defense forces of ukraine once again carried out a successful and massive use of long-range means of impression, this also applies to the sinking of the ivanovets missile boat by kamikaze naval drones and an effective air strike on the belbek airfield in occupied crimea. main directorate of intelligence the ministry of defense today showed a video of the destruction of the ivanovets missile boat of the black sea fleet by sea surface drones. the attack was carried out by several drones, at least they were used. six, which successively struck this russian warship from different angles and from different

directions of strikes, as a result of which the enemy's missile boat sank, this attack itself took place on lake donuzlav in the temporarily occupied crimea, there were 40 occupants on the missile boat itself, as reported. also , new details of the attack became known today air forces long-range missiles at russian military facilities in the area of ​​the belbek airfield. this strike happened yesterday, there is a video confirming the powerful explosions. the strike was delivered by stormshadow or scalp cruise missiles. the enemy confirms that five missiles hit the targets, but some russian media outlets were surprisingly quick to write about the fact that several military aircraft were destroyed this summer. it was about 127 fighters, but there is such a nuance, and it is

that for storm shadow missiles, planes are not such a suitable target, because their combat unit is primarily designed to destroy protected underground facilities, and based on the results of the analysis of one of the strikes by these missiles, it can be concluded that one of the stormshadows definitely hit the underground command post itself.. air bases near belbek airport. also, one of the russian telegram channels wrote that as a result of the strike, a communication node was hit, but according to our estimates, it is more about the radio center of the headquarters of the entire aviation of the black sea fleet. so in case of destruction of the command post, probably another change, personnel and radio center of the fleet aviation - this is a significant blow to the russian capabilities in crimea. much more than destroying a few ritaks. although we do not rule it out either. we are now waiting for satellite images of the impact zone,

the weather was beautiful there yesterday and today, so i think we will soon see satellite images and be able to make real conclusions about what exactly was hit. and then we will talk about what is forced to compensate for the lack of ammunition for of the ukrainian army on the battlefield, it is about attack drones. yesterday, a fairly large-scale meeting was held between the heads of the ministry of defense, the ministry of digital affairs, the ministry of state communications with our drone developers, and certain priorities were emphasized. by the way, it was not the minister of defense who spoke about the priorities, but the minister of digital transformation, he spoke about the fact that such promising tasks include the development of a ukrainian analogue of the lancet drone, which the enemy has, the use of artificial intelligence for automatic capture of targets, it is rather for fpv drones, the technology

of guided munitions that can be directed at objects of reb and destroy them and the development of all anti-drone. new solutions, that is, the direction of development of reb. and now we are joined by an entrepreneur, volunteer and the head of a company that is probably able to independently fulfill about a tenth of the announced plan for this year, to produce 1 million drones for the needs of the armed forces, and this is oleksandr yakovenko, who is the head of the taf drones company. mr. alexander, welcome to the spresso channel, if you are currently viewing and do you hear yes. i hear, i see, good evening, were you at the meeting with the heads of the ministry of defense and the ministry of digital affairs yesterday, where these needs and priorities were announced, they tried to eliminate the existing barriers in the relationship between business and customers, no, unfortunately, i did not have time, was on a business trip, but my colleagues were there, and in fact, they gave me all

the information that was at this meeting, uh, i see very... ambitious plans and i see that with the help of the state and private business, these plans are really possible to be implemented in 2024. mr. oleksandr, in which directions now? your company develops and creates drones for various purposes, which models are currently the priority for the staff of your company? well, first of all, we are now focused on filling needs. in basic fpv drones, we are currently producing , in fact, in january we produced 18,000 drones, february will be 25 thousand and march we will increase to 30. our goal is to make at least 350,000 drones in 2024, and this

will be a combined story between e-e customer from the state, between charities. funds and transparent tenders from city councils, military administrations, and so on. that is, i am really sure that this year our state will make and our entrepreneurs and our people will make more than 1 million drones, that is, because we should not forget that in addition to government orders, there are a lot of charitable organizations, private businesses that help the army and they're also ordering drones, so that's the focus right now, we 're constantly improving our solution, it's drones with thermal imaging cameras, it's drones that are more resistant to reb, that's very important right now, because the enemy is improving its defense system, just as we are improving it, and we need to constantly, constantly change technological solutions, well, of course, our

final focus is the last mile, the so-called, that is, bringing it to... the target in the last meters, well, how in the last meters, it is 300-400 m, for the drone to fly independently, it is very important, firstly, then it cannot be silenced, and secondly, the level of our pilots may be lower, well, that is, they do not need professionals in order to fly the drone if he has to do it on his own, that is the focus is currently on this, besides we are developing the so-called folk plane, that is... the amikadze plane with a very low price of up to 80-100 thousand uah, which can carry 4 kg for a distance of 40 km. we have already completed the nvp and i think that we will start mass production of them from march. and the last product, which is very important, uh, we are focusing on the development

of short-range rockets, that is, up to 70 km on... fuel, and there are very good technological solutions now, and i hope that we will use them soon, because fpv drones are cool, but fpv drones are not a technological solution, this is such a large-nodal assembly, but you need to defeat the enemy with technological solutions, and this is very important, and then i would like to detail two components from your, from your answer: first, the solution. the question is there the last mile or there before the guidance of the drone due to artificial intelligence, at what stage are these solutions now, when will you start testing this solution in combat conditions, well already? tested both in combat conditions and on training grounds, only questions in that right now i think it's a solution, i can't open the numbers, but it's quite

expensive and we need to get it down to $250-$200 per drone, and when we do that, i hope we will do in the next month, months, we will be able to use it in bulk, at the moment we are not using it in bulk because it is too much. expensive to put this system on each drone, and the second component is about the development of missiles as a means of impressing the enemy, that is, your company is now acquiring these competencies in the process of practice, is there cooperation with teams that have experience in the field of creating such means of impression? of course, we have cooperation with teams, but we try to take these teams under us, or give... funding, or do it together, a lot of such young, promising teams, and we try

to unite them, as currently we have such an opportunity financially, including to move forward faster, and of course, of course, there is a certain competition between developers, everyone wants to make their product the best, but we all understand that this is what we do, first of all for victory therefore, it is very important to unite, we actually do this, we do it with our own efforts, we connect, we buy some solutions from other teams, which we believe are more technological than ours, but in any case, drones, missiles - this is, well, a multi-component component solution, that is, it consists of various components, some components we take from other teams, because they are much better than we can develop, or they... simply exist, and we have not yet reached, and when we talk about the interaction of different teams, how efficient and

effective is it now, because now at yesterday 's meeting as many as 200 companies were presented that are engaged in the production of drones or certain services in the field of disembodied subjects, isn't that too much, is it still possible to consolidate more rationally? results faster than the presence of such a large number of young teams? you know, this is a relatively philosophical question, why philosophical, because in any case , competition is the engine of progress, that is, companies compete, they want to be better and, as they say, the strongest survive, that is, this is a young industry, it began to develop, as you understand, in the last two years. and of course a lot of young ambitious teams have appeared and they will appear, that's normal, over time there will be fewer of them, of course there will be fewer, because not all of them get orders, not all of them will be operationally

efficient, not all of them will be able to compete in the market , so they will merge slowly, the best specialists will move to other companies, and actually there will be fewer of them, but this is not a problem, this is evolution, these are stages the development of any industry is unimportant. it's drones or something else, so i think it's normal, and what's more important is that the state quite powerfully helps in the development of this industry, ah, well, for example, we import spare parts without washing and without vat, this is very important, it reduces our costs, we can use our money more efficiently, there are constant hackathons, associations, discussions and dialogues and so on. exchange of experience is also very important, and i believe that there are great prospects, and i believe, even for the future

prospects that ukraine can not only become, make this industry for the protection of its state, but also develop export potential. oleksandr, you mentioned that, actually, you said about the colossal pace of production of podrons at your industrial facilities, do you use them? you some such technical solutions like conveyor assembly that provide such well quite high indicators, i did not even expect that you really strive for such significant goals from the point of view of making fpv drones, that is , it is used, which is used to so much to do? well, first of all - we use a conveyor assembly, but this conveyor assembly is not automated, that is, of course, everyone does it for sure. section of their work, someone solders, someone screws, someone adjusts, someone tests and so on, and something can be automated, unfortunately, so that it can be done completely automatically.

systemically, there is no possibility, there are two reasons for this: the first - we constantly change locations, that is, we do not collect all our drones in one place, these are six different cities, 12 locations that move once every three months, because, as you understand, there is always a threat of sabotage, missile attacks, and we constantly need to change, change locations for the sake of... security, so 100% automation is almost impossible, of course we improve the indicators, by some kind of assembly line, training, and there for now, if you calculate it by people, then one person collects seven or eight drones per day, before that there were five, four, five, at most six, of course, like any enterprise, we want to be the maximum. .. effective and

constantly improve the results, but it is necessary also pay attention to security, so we are looking for such a balance. oleksandr , i would like to ask, if it is not a secret, the number of workers currently working on assembling drones, motivation and armoring, all these factors, well, in some way, well, positively, negatively, what can they say about it? reservations, of course. it has a positive effect, it is also a very big step towards the meeting that the state took, in fact, in terms of the development of the bpla industry, the state did everything possible to develop the business, i will say frankly, that is, there is a state order, and there is there are many tenders there on prozoro , for example, there are no customs duties, low taxes

and... what is also important is the reservation , so we, as a critical infrastructure company, can reserve a certain number of our employees, ah, and of course it is also a kind of bun at least in the search for specialists, of course there is a certain shortage of specialists, that is, it is difficult to find, er, it is difficult to train, er, and we are constantly... that is , something constantly needs to be changed, but i cannot reveal information about number of employees, but plus or minus you can count by the number of collected drones , because this is still such more confidential information, but nevertheless , we already have a system that has been adjusted so that a new person there has been professionally and very well collecting drones according to our instructions for two weeks,

plus we we involve so-called that is, if there are some teams who need , who lack orders, they need, they want to find jobs there to assemble drones, we involve them on such a certain subcontract, that is , we give them spare parts, we give them instructions, and they assemble these drones according to our instructions, and we pay for each assembled drone, this is also one of the development options, and we use it, for example, now about 35-40% of our production, including us... work on outsourcing, help development to other teams, and we ourselves are included in this process , and even more, we help the industry in general, that is, we import spare parts for drones and sell them to other teams at very competent prices and actually develop this industry in general, because we help ourselves what i consider to be difficult in the market is logistics and the purchase of spare parts abroad.

because there are constant problems with this, mr. oleksandr , thank you very much for the inclusion, for the colossal work you do for our armed forces, for the development of the technological capabilities of our country, and i will remind our viewers that this was oleksandr yakovenko, a philanthropist, volunteer and the owner of the taf drones company, which now, as we see, is significantly increasing its capacity, because the production of fpv and other types of weapons for the needs of our armed forces. that's how they were the main military results of this day, more later. international and economic news broadcast by vasyl zema. these were the military results of the day. i thank serhiy zgorets and thank his guest. good evening. we are from ukraine. well , now we are waiting for the second hour of the big air.
