in fact, this significantly limits the possibilities of using these ships for certain missions, because usually at one time they created a threat to landings there near odessa and mykolaiv, then when we had anti-ship missiles, it became a suicide mission for the enemy, these ships were used for there, the delivery of ammunition to the still-occupied territory, and right now the use of naval... drones demonstrates that there is an effective, realistic, asymmetric, technological concept of combating the enemy, with the use of maritime robotic platforms and the great expectation that such a concept, already with a bet on land or air platforms, will be scaled across the entire front line, and when we talk about drones, of course, we forget... about

ordinary planes , the ramstein meeting is now taking place, the 19th meeting with the participation of a number of countries that provide assistance to ukraine, and of course ukraine is looking forward to when our air force will receive the f-16 multirole aircraft, because on on the eve of the meeting in ramstein, it was said that... at this event, there will be a report by the coalition on the training of f-16 fighters for the air force of ukraine. this was announced by the head of the ukrainian mission to nato nataliya hlibarenko during a meeting with journalists in brussels. so far, the ramshtein meeting is still ongoing, and we do not yet know the details related to the fighter jets, but we understand that such a decision has already been made and the issue.

implementation of these measures, and now we will talk about this with our guest, we are joined by valery romanenko, an aviation expert and the leading scientist of nau, mr. valery, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you on the espresso channel. to each other, good evening, i would still like to start our conversation with the situation about the f-16s, because what are the general expectations and trends now. because on the one hand, our representatives say that we will receive these planes sometime in the spring, and these are realistic terms, this is exactly what our representative in nato says, and some nato officials say that the terms may be moved there finally 24th year, and on the other hand, there are optimistic photos, even when the f-16 with our distinguishing... ukrainian markings are there

on the wings, and this raises optimistic expectations, what are your current assessments of the expectations finally with the planes for the air force of ukraine? well, first of all, it is necessary to prepare the flight crew for their operation, to get planes for which there are no pilots and engineering staff, this is somehow, you know, it does not fit in my head, but i think that as soon as there is ... some information that our pilots are ready to operate these aircraft, ready for them to fight, they will arrive, the only thing is that you and i will be the last to learn about it, well, from those who have some, so to speak, relationship with there, some special relationship with the military, yes, because usually it will be a surprise for the russians, the appearance of these airplanes, the only thing you mentioned about the photos, i was very... pleased with the fact that

now this plane was in a configuration, so to speak, for combat training, that is, there were mass-sized mock-ups on the ends of the wings, ram missiles, and under the wings there were such red simulators of sidewinder missile launches, well the main weapons of these aircraft, this means that the actual training is already at the last stage , either combat training, or even tactical training, i.e.... well, take-off there and the execution of certain such, well, educational training combat tasks, such as air combat there in pairs or single an air battle or a breakthrough of the enemy's air defense system there, although the latter is unlikely, well, maybe the interception of some enemy targets, but the preparation of the infrastructure, well, as far as we know, as far as what was reported in the media, it is... it is in full swing, we are preparing

a navigation system so that these planes can navigate over our territory, the infrastructure is being prepared. aircraft maintenance, i.e. currents at airfields where it is planned to place them, real and fake shelters are being prepared for the real ones to really hide the planes, fake ones to distract enemy missiles, in case they do manage, somehow penetrate, to fly through our air defense to hit airfields, well, that's kind of the situation, but... for now i don't expect a lot of these planes, well, because we are preparing for one or two squadrons at most, for us they are preparing for one or two squadrons of flight and technical personnel, well, hope that it will be fast, conditionally fast, and then it will still be scaled with an increase the number and

personnel and aircraft, but when we talk about aircraft, new information has also appeared, and i am very interested to hear your estimates, first and ... about a month ago , it was announced by the air force command that it is possible that our arsenals will strengthen the french mirage 2000 aircraft, then there were two publications in the french press that this is almost the main issue that will be raised during the visit of president macron to kyiv, he was just supposed to arrive on the 14th, that is, today, then it was delayed by security measures there, but this is the issue of mirage 2000, it just... appeared in the information space, hovered and i want to understand where it will develop, appropriate, inappropriate, what kind of aircraft are these, why do we need them, or can it really be a strengthening of our air arsenal? well, this is generally one of

the last models of the french mirage 2000, the ones we are counting on, i really hope that these are mi-2000d aircraft. that is, carriers of cruise missiles, scalp, stormshadow, well, this is one and the same missile, yes, and maybe in, if we receive from germany, taurus. these planes, in total, the french now have 65 such planes in four squadrons, but they are still going to decommission them , well gradually, yes, and that is why they are looking for a place to install them. you yourself understand, if they transfer it to us, it will be transferred within the framework of, well... some kind of financial, financial tranche, yes, that is, as if transferred free of charge, but it will be taken into account, and maybe, rather than getting these planes, maybe it would be more profitable for us, for example, to get some anti-aircraft, the latest anti-aircraft missile complexes

, well, the same sumpte, yes, because the planes are generally quite old, according to their capabilities , they are of interest to us only once again as winged carriers. missiles and no more, because we do not have many no. 24s, which are now the carriers of these missiles, but the f16s, which we are waiting for, will they succeed or not, i researched this issue there, in total two root pylons on f16, they are able to withstand the weight of the scalp or stormshadow, but after receiving these planes, won't it also be necessary to convert them under the nose for these missiles? that is, some additional work should be carried out there, that is, in general, if we, well , summarizing, if we get one squadron of these aircraft, there are 12-15 machines as spares, yes, then it would generally be good,

although the best option is the gripen , which is both modern and a real fighter with long-range missiles, because it is a mirage. it has missiles with a maximum range there of 60 km, although they are modern, russian fighters shoot at 120 km, and our migs, x27 missiles, they also shoot at 120 km, i.e. like fighters, mirages, well, let’s put it this way, they will not be very useful to us, well, that is, in fact, we need to approach this proposal with enough restraint and caution, because i see that we will get... a number of logistical problems with low efficiency and ensure ourselves a disruption of efforts, as i understand so well, but yes there are a lot of problems that, let the experts sort out, as far as we these machines will be useful, especially with sweden about the gripen

there were conversations, absolutely, and then there would be problems of another level, the same with the european manufacturer, it is about helicopters, you probably know this story in detail, our... readers, viewers have repeatedly asked about eyes, australian combat helicopters, there is nh90 in the variant for australia, the taipan, which is... apparently, a significant number of these helicopters, apparently modern, are being disassembled right there in australia, and let's hand them over to ukraine. i spoke with various specialists, i'll be honest, not everyone wants such helicopters appeared in ukraine, precisely because of a number of technological problems that accompany these helicopters. what is your vision, should our diplomats fight there for these australian taipans? well, again , you know... the devil is in the details, yes, indeed a number of countries have abandoned

the use of these helicopters, and the first was not australia, the first, as i recall, was portugal in '12, then from they were refused in 22 norway from using these planes, and it planned to buy 10 machines, but made a bet on the american blackhawks are there, but australia also bought instead of... these blackhawk helicopters. sweden has announced that it also plans to replace its nh90 with american, well, modernized blackhawks. ot. but in general, well , you have to look, we will really have even more problems with the maintenance of these planes, if even countries in which there are calm conditions with the possibility of a quick and sufficient supply of spare parts have a lot of problems with this. by helicopter, otherwise these problems will have to be multiplied by 10, so, well, i don't know,

experts should evaluate here, in my opinion, i i would also bet on the american black hook, then i absolutely support you with such an approach, but it is interesting, now the united states supplies blackhawks to ecuador, and ecuador... it seems that there will hand over to us the decommissioned mi-17s there , the question arises, should we bet on it there, that this is a cool decision, that we will receive these mi-17s, and why , according to your assessment, we cannot ensure such direct contact with the americans, so that it is definitely already on a direct line getting those blackhawk eyes, finally getting rid of those long ones options for obtaining equipment by exchange. instead of leaving, well, on a direct , understandable supply of the same blehoks, well

, probably here, there is an obstacle on our part in such a direct decision, and with regard to ecuadorian cars, there they, well, i was not lazy, translated this message, they write , that there is only one helicopter and there are not even six in total, which we were promised, five helicopters, there... the mi-171 model is such a really military helicopter, and there are three more civilian options, this is the mi17v1, yes, in general civilians helicopters, and they are in their tails in their manes, so to speak, were exploited by equatorians, so, well, we can, yes, considering the cost of transporting them to ukraine. and we can only get a set of very expensive spare parts for our existing

helicopters, if we have to send specialists there, see what condition the blades, gearboxes, and engines are in, that is if we can get them here , the spare parts we need the most, then maybe it makes sense, and if only one of the helicopters is in flying condition, then you have to watch the rest. the source of this helicopter, but if the game is worth the candles, then you can take this helicopter and spare some, spare parts for ours, because we have a number of bottlenecks with spare parts and helicopters, because they were all produced in russia, there ulanude, kazan, well in our country, at some factories, we produced only some types of spare parts, that is, we have to approach again, go into details, study. the details of this process, in general, this deal,

so to speak, which was concluded in january of this year, seems to me not very useful for ukraine. and i would like to ask, sir valery, your vision is related to the zircon missile, because, relatively speaking, we were the first to write about it, then there were confirmations from a number of institutions that russia uses, used for the first time. ecclesiastical in ukraine, and then i myself began to doubt the expediency of the enemy's use of the circus and whether this missile has actually been refined to the level that it is capable of. perform the tasks that are declared, here is your vision of this story with zircons and strikes on ukraine, well, i take my hat off to the guys from defense express, who indeed, one detail instantly, so they identified this 3 mm22 missile, i feel sarcasm in these assessments, well, the norm is the opposite,

on the contrary, they are very qualified, so they, well, you have to remember all the grau indices, so it means that... it's simple in fact, it's just yes, well, no, i don't know, my memory is worse, yes, so, but after that there was a conclusion of our institute of forensic examination that it is real, uh, there most of the details have similar, similar uh, technological ones, well , inscriptions, yes there with the letter 22, there m22, l22, yes, it seems that this is cerkon and... it is most likely that it is still a purely test launch, ugh, there was such a tradition in the ssr, a military test, they were called, yes, and single samples were used there somewhere in the troops, apparently , that in this case, it is actually some kind of test launch, especially since the gur intelligence says that the launch was carried out from a land

battery, and not from a ship, that is. well , i don’t see the point of using this missile in ukraine, because it didn’t hit anywhere, it fell, fell there, if not in the field, then nearby populated place, and the damage was caused by, well , a large gap was interrupted somewhere by some local power lines, well, it is clearly a rocket for tens of millions of dollars, it is not what the russians expected from it, and so... well, this launch, i don’t think so , yes , it was carried out from a land battery, and i don’t understand how the russians hoped to use it with high precision, because if it is hypersonic, then the missile flies in a plasma shell that does not pass radio waves, and if it has time to target,

then where will it fly, where it will fly to, and whether it will make it in time in this area with high precision aim at that which they hoped to hit, i.e. there are many technical issues here, i think that a mass bombardment with zircons will simply not happen in the near future due to the unproven nature of this missile and the lack of such a real crude production. mr. valery, thank you very much for the time you found for our viewers, for your professional and extremely interesting comments, i would like to remind our viewers that this was valery romanenko, an aviation expert, a leading airman of the state aviation museum. and finally, i will mention that today the facts of confirmation became known the fact that ukraine still received these long-range rocket bombs in view of the wreckage that the russians themselves are showing there, that is, in fact, the exploitation of these new means of impressing the russian troops,

with supplies with a range of 150 km, has already begun. you can read more about it on our website. defense express, and you will now hear more international and economic news on vasyl zima's broadcast, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. well, those were the military results of the day, thanks to serhiy zgorets, thanks to his guest. good evening, we are from ukraine. is 10% discount on lactial in psyllany bam and oskad pharmacies. there are 20% discounts on tisin bio and tisin xylu in psyllanyk bam and oskad pharmacies. tingling, numbness or crawling of ants in the limbs arise spontaneously and disturb you. a special complex of active substances

of february 8 , the same photo appeared on the official pages of volodymyr zelenskyi and valery zaluzhnyi in social networks: in his office, the supreme leader shakes hands with the leader, zaluzhnyi shows the signature gesture of victory, both are smiling. this was the finale of the information campaign on the change of leadership of the armed forces of ukraine. from today to the leader. a new management team is joining the armed forces of ukraine. i want the vision of the war to be the same for our soldiers in the robot or audio unit and for the general staff and suffixes. information about the possible dismissal of the commander-in-chief first appeared in the media last fall. the authorities chose a strategy of uncertainty. officials neither confirmed nor denied the rumors. later, a people's deputy attacked zaluzhnyi. from criticizing the head committee's activities, she quickly moved to humiliating personal reproaches, and when her colleagues began to demand the dismissal of the bezug,

the leadership of the parliament and the "servant of the people" faction came to her defense. during this time, society came to terms with the idea that resignation is popular the general is possible and even probable, and when it happened, the president did not dare to say: "i decided to fire the general." i suggested to the general. worthy of continuing to be together in the team of the ukrainian state. i will be grateful for his consent. today i decided to update the leadership of the armed forces of ukraine. in an evening address on the day of the dismissal of the head of state, the president spoke about the need for a realistic war plan for 2024, rotation on the front lines, and improving the quality of training of military personnel. zelenskyi gave the reasons for the dismissal of the employee only to a small group of journalists in a closed session. meetings, the lack of explanations gave scope for a wide variety of interpretations, both in ukrainian and foreign media. there are two versions in total. the first: the commander-in-chief had

serious disagreements with the president both regarding mobilization and the strategy of the war, which, according to zaluzhnyi, had reached a dead end. some media reported that the actions of the commander during the summer counter-offensive are not satisfied in the pentagon. the second version: allegedly at the bank were irritated by the too high... level of support for the industrious among ukrainians, which was evidenced by the closed data of public opinion polls, and were afraid of his decision to enter politics. be that as it may, zelensky and zaluzhny decided to part ways gently and without scandals. in farewell , the president presented the dismissed head with the title of hero of ukraine. i am grateful to everyone who is close to me, the team of the general staff, the ministry of defense, the president of ukraine, i am proud of each and every member of the armed forces of ukraine. who protect the future of our children, all soldiers, sergeants and officers, i bow head in front of all those who gave their lives for ukraine and freedom. we will remember and take revenge for

everyone. the president appointed the commander of the ground forces , colonel-general oleksandr syrsky, as the new head of the armed forces. an officer with an ambiguous image among the military. behind his shoulders is the successful defense of kyiv, a brilliant counteroffensive operation in the kharkiv region, and the defense of bakhmut, which raises many questions for many military personnel about the justification of high losses. syrsky is bringing a new team with him. by official according to the ministry of defense, he has already discussed the detailed action plan of the armed forces of ukraine for 2024 with minister rustem umyerov. maintaining a balance between the execution of combat missions and the restoration of units and units with the intensification of training and training of personnel remains more relevant than ever. introduction of new technical solutions and scaling of successful experience, for example, the use

of modern unmanned systems. means of radio-electronic warfare is one of the future vectors of building victory in our liberation war war changes in the leadership of the armed forces of ukraine took place on the eve of the second anniversary of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine. the situation at the front is difficult. the army lacks ammunition and its commanders publicly admit this. and they did not publicly tell the washington times about the critical staffing situation. soldiers on the front lines are not acute. is enough in comments to an american newspaper, some commanders suggested that at some point the front might simply collapse. despite such sentiments, the verkhovna rada is in no hurry to adopt a new one the law on mobilization. the president removed himself from the process, because you cannot gain popularity on this topic. the servant of the people faction claims that it is difficult to find a balance. we have to balance the interests of the military command, business and

citizens, tasks. not easy, there will be a lot of work. the majority of observers are of the same opinion. a change in the leadership of the armed forces is unlikely to lead to decisive changes on the battlefield in the near future. this requires systemic reforms in the army, effective mobilization, increased western aid and build-up own production of weapons. but the risks of interference by the presidential office in the operational activities of the military have increased significantly. after all , the president is the supreme commander. and to appoint and dismiss the head of the armed forces of ukraine is his constitutional right, as well as personal responsibility. greetings, this is svoboda live, my name is vlasta lazur. russia called its fleet invincible,

but... today it suffered another loss. we will discuss how this will affect the war. drones of the main directorate of intelligence of the ministry of defense of ukraine this morning in the black sea , the russian amphibious assault ship caesar kunikov was sunk. the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine said that at the time of the attack, the ship was in the territorial waters of ukraine near alupka. gur published a video of the destruction of the ship. the footage shows the silhouette of the ship and a bright explosion. and then the fire. intelligence reported that the strike was carried out by magura v5 drones, and the ship suffered holes on the left side and sank. the russian ministry of defense did not comment on this attack, but at the same time, this morning, the agency reported that six drones were shot down over the waters of the black sea. the nature and extent of the damage to the ship is not known for sure, nor is it known whether the crew survived. by the way, the website of the black sea fleet reports that the crew of the ts-80 ship.
