from the intense hostilities of the second half of the 23rd year, well, is it noticeable that for a few months, that even there is a month until spring, and they will stop their more active actions, so we had such a forecast from the scouts that in the spring there would be time for us to make the next offensive and make our move, well, you know, as the classic said, i don't understand russia, we don't know what they can do, what plans they have in their heads, but... the fact that they can exhale, yes, because it is so constantly attacking at such a pace on such a narrow, relatively narrow section of the front, and plus to the same, again due to the fact that the ukrainian forces there use saboteurs and drones, and long-range artillery, after all, the russians are knocked out by their same artillery installations and destroy their armored vehicles, now they are not receiving such intensive supplies. it is right here in

the zaporizhia direction, so let's see what it will be, it is very difficult to guess and predict, uh, no, it is absolutely logical and it is open that they want to align the front line opposite orikhov, that is their pocket there, it is its pressed line defense from as they say, from digging and work to a new cover, they just want to level it all, if only you understood their logic. actions, what, with what do you connect their active actions suddenly in the priyutne area, and this is further east of this section of the front, why did they get so hot there? they are burning everywhere, they want to conquer an independent ukrainian state, this is the only explanation for all their actions, it is at the global level, at the local level, at the tactical level, they have lost a lot of that...

they are certainly fed up, having several times the advantage of losing these territories, of course they are trying to fight everything back, the same five-houses there, the same rabotina, but now they are actively moving in that direction, shelling, trying to establish control, although again from those inhabited points, i have already said many times, only the name remained there and three charred walls, and the same on the battlefield there... they lost some forest plantations, forest strips, but they are shelling them so much with their artillery that there are simply stumps burned, all that is left is , there is no place to hide there anymore, and very often, well, not very often, but often our guys have to spend the summer in the middle of a clear trench watering trenches, to hide, here we have to understand the zaporizhia region, it is mostly a steppe, it is very difficult to hide, plus the russians are constantly firing fpv. drones after

our guys, i'm just saying this so that our viewers understand the conditions our guys are in, and so that it doesn't seem to anyone there that there is a slow offensive or a counteroffensive or something else, there are a lot of objective circumstances that affect the course of hostilities and the conditions for conducting hostilities, in particular on the part of the ukrainian security and defense forces, mr. kostyantyn, but has anything changed before that? yes, it looked classic in your direction, the eagles were flying, they looked at something, then in the place where they looked, the art worked, and then the fp drones went and so on, that is, here they were walking on a roller coaster then, but how now, now some changes are happening, they may have more fpv drones, maybe more reconnaissance, maybe more intensive shelling, maybe more equipment they caught up, well, in principle, in general, this is how it all goes, plus... they actively monitor

social networks and conduct information intelligence, because information hygiene is definitely limping on both legs, and sometimes it's just unsanitary, well, in order not to spread, i saw literally half an hour ago , well, people just posted some information on social networks, i don't know what they were thinking and whether they were thinking at all when they spread this, it's just a gift to the russians, well, let the specialists deal with that. to figure it out, and of course, they constantly conduct aerial reconnaissance, they have a hell of a time, but what you posted, you explained so cryptically, it cannot be said that there people post things that are not on their heads, i passed it on to the person who should deal with it, but i only urge ukrainians not to post unverified information, do not post on social networks, that's all, what did you see on the street, somewhere in the yard and on the highway, because you know, sometimes you want to go up to a person who... has a mobile

phone, something about movement or some military , you know, and take away their mobile phone, because we we don't know where it will go further, but as for drones, yes, they have them a lot yes these are various drones , they are brought up more or less regularly, although they and, because they have great losses, ours have learned to use them to counter them, but nevertheless they still pose a great threat, i literally told you that they use fpidrons to hunt our infantrymen who are stuck at one or another stronghold, and of course they use the same fividrons to hunt ours. technology, not only their b tourists work on the technology of avi drones, because now they have stopped chasing our technology by helicopters due to certain circumstances there and the destruction of the airfield infrastructure and the successful work of our anti-aircraft fighters, so now they have switched to it more and on

their training grounds they are preparing the same calculations of tourists now in the temporarily occupied territory of the zaporizhzhia region, the same paratroopers, stormtroopers are conducting. combat coordination, training, then those units that are then launched on infantry assaults to recapture positions from our brothers. mr. kostyantyn, what about the positional battles that are going on right now? soldiers of our front, is it noticeable that they are also bothering the russians and their infantrymen, or do they not pay attention to it, it’s just that they have their own reserve of 140 million and can afford to have fun with it... well, they drive the infantry to the assault, that’s all , what can i say , they do not spare people, if it happened that they threw, roughly speaking, one machine gun at three people, huh, and they

have a lot of equipment, armored equipment, which covers during infantry attacks, they dance constantly working, shelling, more or less modern, they are actively there, they go on the attack together with them, they will move a group of t-55s there, they simply use them as artillery installations in order to fire at our positions, although again , their tanks, which are modern, enter they are equipped with modern sights, anti-drone protection and devices, night vision devices, they are also modernized there , they draw conclusions, although it also... rarely helps them, because ours have already learned to work on them too, and where do they collect assistance, reserves and technique and manpower, i mean somewhere from the crimea they approach them, or they take them from other divisions of the front, they transfer from the zaporozhye direction to kherson or donetsk, from there they transfer

to here, they carry out rotation, recruiting , and from the crimea they carry out ibc and manpower and equipment from is through occupied donetsk region through this land corridor from crimea to rostov, plus they conduct voluntary forced mobilization in the temporarily occupied territory of the zaporizhzhia region, where they also have their repair and restoration battalions, which repair their battered equipment they can pull off the battlefield. well, for an appetizer, in one word, just tell me, these are citizens of ukraine forcibly mobilized from the occupied territories. they have no desire to surrender and join the armed forces of ukraine, or are they unable? they have every opportunity to surrender to the ukrainian defense security forces in the first battle, it is up to them, we know, there are various initiatives, like i want to live and so on, they

can surrender, although again, they have, let's imagine the situation, a guy they mobilized, threw them into battle, told them to surrender in... he'll get out somewhere on tv, we are shooting your family, you can be like that, it is quite possible, maybe, here we have to deal with each case, experience has already taught me not to blame anyone playing for anything, in each case it is necessary to deal with it separately and find out all the circumstances, and these blockade troops, who spoke a lot about it earlier, that in fact they cannot turn around somewhere to escape, that they are still being controlled, does this phenomenon persist now, the rosguards are here... it is quite likely that there are blockade detachments from among them, well, we don't have a chance to see because no one will let us there, thank you, mr. kostyantyn, thank you for participating in the broadcast , thank you for the service you perform, a fighter of the legion of freedom, kostyantyn denisov was with

viewers, mr. serhiy, i want to start by saying i didn't sleep very well, i think, but at night i'll see what the news is, and i was surprised, there was such a battle there, such a ruckus in the ukrainian segment, and the spokesman of the air force ignat was also criticized there, and he answered, and the whole discussion revolved around what oksana was talking about. tv viewers of express were already told back in june once with your help , including that they were waiting and then the australians were promised the f-18, we then discussed what it was. how good they are and we did not wait for them and somehow it was forgotten in all those discussions about 16 on today it is allegedly coming out of the australian press that ukraine said, said that we do not need this, it is garbage, it appears in the headline, and here is the discussion around it, this is what we were offered, we refused

, nothing is clear at all, well indeed, we are currently relying on a publication in... in the australian edition of the australian defense review, which actually describes various stories related to the transfer of certain types of military equipment to ukraine, it also mentions the f-18 and abrams tanks and tiger helicopters, which uses australia and the taipans, that is , in fact, this is such a review publication, which aims there, well, to evaluate its own. the author and relying on conversations with some people, whose names are not mentioned, and there exactly this phrase appears that some ukrainian representative , at the suggestion of another australian representative regarding these f-18s, said that we do not need such outdated systems, and in fact

around it unfolded this... then an expert discussion with emotions in the space of the ukrainian internet, in fact, that we what conclusions can we draw from this, in fact, ukraine did not insist on receiving these aircraft f 18 orders, because in fact these aircraft have already been withdrawn from production by the booing company, they are theoretically good, but they need to be created. own logistics, own training of pilots, and considering the prospects of the fact that they are no longer manufactured, we understand what these difficulties theoretically impose on ukraine in the future, and all the time the air force command was at one point, speeding up the processes related to with the receipt of f-16, training pilots, providing logistics

and so on, and we can see, for the second year already, how difficult all this is progressing. that is , we understand that now pilots are being trained, infrastructure is being prepared, technicians are being prepared, and it's not easy. if there were several more options of different aircraft, there are f-18s, there are gripens, then relatively speaking, it would only complicate the work of preparing to receive certain fighters, but it did not increase the combat readiness of the ukrainian army, and i now understand the logic of the air force about the fact that it is necessary to strive for... one solution related to the f-16s, then, if these aircraft will perform combat functions, think about other models of equipment, and here we already mention the f-15s, which have already appeared in other requests of the ministry of defense to the united states, because the f-16 is actually a light fighter, the f-15 is a heavy fighter,

the yaksu-27 has much greater capabilities with two engines and so on, and i completely understand the logic. air force, just like the air force enough so, well , reacted critically, even to the statement of the command of the ground forces there, that give us also a10, these attack aircraft from the united states, because this also creates problems with and challenges with the training of pilots and logistical support, so that now we are at the stage when the air force is actively lobbying and, together with all the ukrainian authorities, ensure the preparation of the infrastructure . under the f-16 and we hope that although in the first half of this year we will receive the first aircraft that will begin to perform their missions on the battlefield, what about the f-18s, the taipans, the tigers, it is a different story with others challenges, with others heroes and with other false actions. mr. serhiy, at the moment we have neither f16 nor f-18, but

we know that this does not stop the air force, what they worked so successfully on belbek, five, it seems. yes we heard, at least we know now about this figure, five strikes, what was it, have you already analyzed? yes, we did this analysis using those osinta analyzes that other structures did, by finding out exactly where the british or french zashtorshadow or scalp missiles hit the ukrainians. in fact, everyone is talking about the belbik airfield, there is a direction, of course. up to 20 rockets were used there, of which five rockets broke through the air defenses of the russian federation there, but we remember that the rockets... storm shadow they are aimed at destroying point targets such as buried bunkers, command posts and the like another, and although we are now waiting for confirmation

of the appearance of space photographs there, where we will see a point impression, whether russian planes were hit there, it is not excluded, but there is already confirmation of what was asked precision strike on the command post of this air force. and on the provision point of the aviation group in crimea, that is , in fact, two control points were destroyed by the strikes of these storm shadow cruise missiles, and this actually fully corresponds to the concept of using these missiles, and if a few fighters were also casually struck, there were 127 that were based. at this bilbek airfield, then this will be another bonus to the fact that this well-planned operation had such a significant effect, which reduces the ability

of the russians to control aviation from this sites, well, to use the planes themselves, and let me remind you that now we see many examples when long-range systems, not only missiles, but also ukrainian-made drones are used to strike the energy facilities of the russian federation. and this fits right into the concept of scaling up hostilities on the territory of the russian federation with the use of both drones and missiles. yes, if you were talking about efficiency, in fact, from 25 air defense systems over crimea are penetrated, and this is a good result shown by the same storms shadle or scalpy, i wanted to ask you about the opposite thing, that is, against air defense. and on the eve of our conversation, it was just that the conversations about turkey and the ts-400 air defense systems intensified, and here is a very interesting thing , we remind the audience that at one time the americans

america and ankara broke the pots, because the pentagon said that no, you will not receive the f-35, because you, as a nato country, suddenly came to an agreement with putin, started buying these ts-400 complexes, we understand that this is not just one complex. it quite serious , including military-technical cooperation, and everything just stopped there, now in addition to the cruise missile-bombs announced for us, victoria nulan, in particular, the us secretary told cnn that we will definitely return to the conversation about the f-35 program for turkey, well, this means that the issue of the ts-400 has somehow been resolved, but it was resolved how, what will be returned to putin or not? here is what they wrote yesterday that the s-400 will go to ukraine. well, here i will add a little to the answer to the previous question, when i said about 20 missiles, so that

our viewers do not get the wrong idea impression that we used there, relatively speaking, 20 storm shadow missiles, of which five only flew. we are talking about 20 missiles, which is basically the total number in combination with the anti-aircraft missiles that we use in order to... eavesdrop on russian air defense and use in parallel in these attacks the so-called decoy missiles or trap missiles, which actually significantly reduce the potential of russian air defense , and in this package of striking means, just then , at the last stage, the storm shadow missiles operate, which, to put it bluntly, are expensive, but quite effective. there are air defense systems in crimea, in particular, there were s-400 complexes, similar to those used. are and were transferred by the russians to the russian federation to turkey, it was a long complicated history of negotiations between turkey, the reaction of nato and the russian

federation, because conventionally speaking, the s-400 systems should be integrated into the air defense system of turkey as a nato country. this involves the exchange of information about someone else, other sensitive data, which. well, nato countries think dangerous if the russian federation receives these data through turkey, that is why the turkish purchase of these s-400 complexes was so negatively perceived, at that time turkey used this purchase as pressure on the americans that you are not selling us the f-35, you are not selling those or other technological solutions, you do not allow us to service the f-16, then in principle we will cooperate in this direction with the russian federation, because turkey... as we see, very often uses such a method of pressure as it was, in particular with introduction the same sweden before nato, where turkey

bargained a lot for itself. which are related to technological directions and strengthening its defense capabilities, but in the process of this , for example, the one that was successfully completed for turkey, the question arose of what turkey should do with the s-400s now, because if it receives the f-35, then the continued operation of the h400 there and further under american pressure does not seem rational, and victoria nolan says that the issue of the s-1400 will be resolved. how will it be resolved? an assumption was made that it is possible that these complexes can be transferred to ukraine, but even in this version, i think that this is more of an assumption for experts and rather for journalists, because in this format the s-400 will look like a suitcase without a handle for ukraine, because even though there are certain the technical capabilities of this complex, the main difficulty is the availability of missiles for this anti-missile

complex, we know what... difficulties we are facing now, when we are slowly depleting the reserves of soviet missiles for the s-300 complex, which is our basic medium-range complex range together with the buk complex, and the question of receiving there three or four batteries from turkey to ukraine will not mean that we will have missiles for this complex, so in any case i rather advocate that we develop projects with the americans in the frankensan format, where we use american missiles for our mirrors. and c300 and there and rather under bukene under c300 we create new samples of air defense systems with our partners and receive a complete list of new means of impression from our partners (patriots) sampti arisansy future which is quite understandable from the point of view of service and provision of the set. mr. sergey, we have literally two minutes to talk about drones, the importance of using the latest technologies in a fresh way.

general zaluzhnyi wrote in his material, but we have open information that ukraine will now purchase these drones for the front transparently at online auctions, as much as this can speed up the process of supplying drones directly to the fighters who use them, drone operators ? well, regarding zaluzhny's article, it needs a separate one a conceptual topic for conversation, because the article is actually much deeper, it is not only about... it is about a new philosophy of warfare aimed at achieving effects, it is a new philosophy, it is quite complex, it was developed in nato countries, it is a separate discussion, but about the purchase through prozoro, in principle it will get used to the purchase of chinese-made drones, because in fact now the question is to reduce the purchase price, it will be done, through transparency, it will help, but it is important to understand that now

a number of our... companies manufacture drones from their own components, which will be more expensive than chinese drones of well-known brands, but you still have to bet on your own, and it is important to understand that this procurement procedure through prozoro, which is based on reducing the cost of these purchases did not become an obstacle for the development of national enterprises with the creation of their own drones from their own components. i hope that all these risks are taken into account in the decision of the cabinet of ministers. thank you mr. serhiy for such a detailed analysis all that serhiy zgurets, director of the information and consulting company defense express. together with mr. serhii , they analyzed what is currently in the arsenal of our armed forces and what we can use, as well as the prospects of getting something more. ugh, and i 'm looking at these numbers, numbers, numbers, they are related to the war. well, stand-up.

putin writes down every day, because this is what he calls an election campaign, and he also set a clear deadline that within five to six years the ukrainian occupied territories, they they are called newly acquired territories, they must be completely equalized in all financial, economic terms and in the budget with the rest of russia, these are the tasks he says in numbers, we now have another task, 9:00 is the time when we all have to honor and remember. to commemorate those who died because of the russian invaders on ukrainian soil. moment of silence let's observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
