and - about two weeks ago, we were also there and there were also hits in the civil infrastructure and medical facilities, we as a volunteer organization together with other partners, together with organizations also volunteer with the authorities, which are there on the ground, were overcoming the consequences of these, now today hits that were, our team itself does not work there, but i am sure that the volunteers who have such an opportunity, they also help to overcome the seeds that unfortunately happened there. well, we see that kharkiv, kharkiv oblast, some communities are more affected under fire, somewhere less, but still they happen, and we see these shots, here you are telling us, we were there, we were not there, i understand that this is a big job, because we have to help get these same people somewhere there, then treatment, some kind of provision , some kind of recovery , well, delivering humanitarian goods alone is not so easy either, is it closed today...

those needs are met by the state and volunteers, these are the urgent military needs that arise in kharkiv oblast, and if not, then well what percentage can be closed now, at least we understand that the enemy again, it is gathering strength and the scale of this trouble may simply increase at some point, what can help here, the evacuation of people is somehow massive enough from certain areas, so that at least there was no question of helping people, well, there was only a question of, for example, army, everything, please, but as far as i know, how much... and has information, and we, as a volunteer organization that has been working since the first days. there is a very strong volunteer movement in kharkiv. and, due to the fact that kharkiv is always and kharkiv region is always is under shelling, then in our region such rapid response councils were created, that is, the department of emergency situations itself was created in kharkiv, and a volunteer organization, in kobaula in...

these with local authorities, with the department of emergency situations, with the state emergency service , with the regional administration , with the rapid response services, go to such places where help is needed, volunteers also help with hot, hot food, feed someone with fidzavals, if the state emergency service allows it, also place them there in the centers where they are needed, if people are affected, they are without housing, they provide... i can and physically, and, if something is needed there, in terms of food and clothing, if you know, somewhere there last week there was a hit at an oil depot, and a lot of people, almost the whole street burned down, the houses just burned down, and people united so much , a headquarters was created in the school there for those people who suffered, and they could get help there, food, clothes, some help with the organization of the strike. how to live without a house and a

lot of people responded, a lot of organizations helped a lot, and just so much that the school says that we can no longer accommodate help , a lot of people wanted to join, and because of such a community, such an organization, for the sake of such an organization, such an association, we can respond to such situations that occur, there may be more of them, we ready for these exits, but... i hope, i pray that such situations do not happen, and here, in addition to the fact that the enemy causes humanitarian damage and people, people are killed, wounded, infrastructure is destroyed, energy infrastructure, critical infrastructure, civilian buildings , the enemy is also causing an ecological disaster, actually we will see, this is probably the most global catastrophe, it was the explosion of the kakhovka hydroelectric power station, but the disaster also came to kharkiv oblast, ecologically, it is this... oil depot and

oil spilled into the rivers, so now certain measures are being taken dams on the rivers, well, some filtration points are being built there in order to stop the oil that goes through the waterways again, and they call on the townspeople not to take water from some underground waters there, from wells, because there may be oil, how large-scale this problem is, well , if it can be called only a problem. and is there an understanding of how it can be solved, whether and again whether this situation is not getting worse now, whether oil is not already spilling into the rivers, please, and i have also heard about this situation, i am the way i live too in kharkiv, i observe it, and i have seen it in our main rivers of the city, unfortunately, there are such loopholes, but also all the measures that should overcome these loopholes and overcome the consequences of that impact. they are all

carried out, it is not mine, not my direct direction, i am not responsible for it, that's why i cannot comment completely, but as far as i can see, they know about this problem. cares and everything possible to do in order to overcome what is already there and prevent new ones, everything is happening. thank you, well, the very end, perhaps you know, simply because this is an interesting initiative: in kharkiv people are elected who will become ambassadors of the city abroad, whether they are people who already live abroad, kharkiv residents, for example, or those people who will be sent abroad, but the idea is great, probably, seek support, advertise, again, popularize kharkiv and talk about its problems, about its... opportunities, first of all, because we need to attract people with the fact that we can also do something, come to us, have you heard about this initiative, and if the competition is happening now and chooses these people, or can every kharkiv citizen take part there? unfortunately, i have not heard about this initiative, but i understand that it

is necessary, because, unfortunately, both in ukraine and abroad, the issue of the war and the issue of overcoming the consequences of the war and the issue of what... what is happening in region, it is necessary to popularize and talk about it, for the community to unite more , to help more, because a large part of the aid goes abroad, and if it becomes less, it will be more difficult for us here, and to popularize and raise these issues, it is very important that people know that this is happening, how russian peace destroys cities and destroys people's lives, it is necessary to know, and if such an initiative is introduced, it is definitely needed. and if it will produce results, it is simple, it will simply be a very cool result for the whole of ukraine, not only for the kharkiv region, this should be done throughout ukraine. you know, the last question is this, it is difficult, but on the other hand, it is also very simple, because in war everything is simple in principle, there is you, there is an enemy

who wants to kill you, and you have to destroy the enemy, or at least give him the opportunity to destroy you, and then everything, everything is simple. so, the enemy is hitting kharkiv there with north korean missiles, its s-300, ballistics, drones, winged aircraft. rockets , people die, families burn, unfortunately, how did it happen, and then something flies into belgrade and there were from five, i think up to nine dead, i don't know, probably they have of ammunition happened, they fired at themselves, but it’s just interesting in kharkiv how they react, generally just understanding, because here there is one story, there, for example, in kyiv or in lviv, or when something like this happens in belgorod, and they tell and howl about that , well, how, well, why do we have this, and my personal opinion... that they should know what they should understand, and some people, perhaps, somehow react positively to it, because they want to, they want to some kind of revenge, but for me, as a

ukrainian, another issue is important, it is important that they weren't in our territories so that they wouldn't fire on them and so that the war would end, that 's all, and... the fact that the people there are suffering is, well, we all know what it's for, and if they didn't supported the way they support, and did not react and did not, listened to their news and knew the truth, then they would not have asked such questions and would have known for what, and would have helped us, either by some intelligence on the cities, or by passing on some information, helped our armed forces of ukraine to prevent such a situation from occurring, but for... this it is necessary not to be putin's slaves and followers of the russian world , but you see, with every drop of one's own blood , maybe that russian world will die somewhere, well , i want to hope from the heads and hearts of russians, i want to hope, but the most important thing is for us to protect ourselves and defeat the enemy, thank you thank you very much for your work , and above all for your comments, evgeny bilov, the head

of the volunteer organization rvh, was in touch with us, here i said that everything is simple in the war, and the viewers write, everything is simple, everything is not simple at all , absolutely not easy, the question is because in war in battle, you have to have more weapons. more trained people, more money , more opportunities and to defeat the enemy, everything is a simple task, and then you can solve a bunch of difficult issues that there are, which have accumulated, we all understand, just now, frankly, everyone is focused on one thing, on the victory over the enemy , the preservation of life, oneself, one's loved ones, and this is the simplicity of war, perhaps this simplicity saves us, this is already 700, what a day of war, because if everything is complicated, it will surely be difficult to survive it all, but it is most difficult for our soldiers at the front, in fact , they will talk about our soldiers, about the front, about the situation there... and, by the way, i urge you to join in, donate to help our troops, we are collecting for the 25th brigade today , and about the front, serhiy zgurets, director of the defenseexpress agency , host of the military summary of the day section , serhiy, i congratulate you, please, i congratulate you, vasyl, i congratulate our viewers, today in our military section we will talk about the enemy’s missile attack on ukraine , about how

the third assault brigade is now fighting in the avdiiv hell and about new technologies for the armed forces, about the cloak of invisibility in a conversation with its developer. more on that in a moment. so, the russian occupation army at night. on february 15 , it carried out another terrorist attack on ukraine using long-range missiles of various types. the attack was a fairly standard scheme using cruise and ballistic missiles. and cruise missiles 195, now we see this infographic. they traveled along such long routes all over ukraine, with a stop in the western region of ukraine, including where they were shot down. and we see that in this way the enemy continued to try. to complicate the routes in order to still hope to find a loophole in our

air defense system, but according to the air force command, out of 26 missiles of various types, half of them were shot down by air defense forces, in particular, 14 of the 18-layer missiles were destroyed, due to ballistics , which is the most threatening, six ballistic missiles were used, they were either iskander m or... a north korean kn-23 shot down one missile, as for the strikes on the capital, all the missiles were shot down when approaching kyiv, not over the city, which is quite telling. there is confirmation that one caliber that was trying to attack kyiv was definitely shot down, and there is probably confirmation about the debris of one north korean missile that was also intended to hit kyiv and... this tear is actually now being assessed that either it is from kn -23, or from the caliber, because

in fact the north korean missile has a warhead weight of 500 kg there, it is by far the largest warhead used there, and perhaps it is precisely this crater created by the explosion of the warhead of a north korean missile. let me remind you that this is the fifth such mass attack on ukraine since the new year, the previous one was on february 7. at that time, in addition to this list of missiles, the enemy also used its hypersonic zircon missile, which was shot down this time . there are no procercon data, but in any case we understand that the threat always exists and strengthening our air defense remains an important challenge, which was mentioned by the way and it was said in naremstein that supporting ukraine with ammunition and missiles for air defense systems remains such an urgent need for our partners. to maintain the stable operation of our air defense, then we will

talk about the front and, first of all, about avdiivka, this is the most tense area, the next active phase has been going on there since october 9 last year, then the enemy tried to attack in such large radii from the north and from the south attacks on the northern steppes, then the enemy did not succeed, the enemy began to reformat on... personnel and more than 12 different regiments and brigades are now trying to attack avdiivka and are attacking avdiivka. against the backdrop of heavy losses of up to 25,000 , according to british intelligence, the enemy continued to rotate and actively used his superiority, primarily in artillery and aviation, with the use of long-range glide bombs, which from... destroyed, destroyed and fortifications, buildings where we could

our fighters to hold the defense, and the most intense events began from the beginning of february, after the enemy had certain successes in the north of the already in avdiivka and in the south behind the complex is the tsar's will, and now this week looks like the most difficult in the history of the defense of avdiivka, because the enemy threw all his efforts just to cut the main logistical... route that goes past kohsokhim to avdiivka, the enemy was able to physically cross this the avdiivka lastochkine highway, exiting to the industrial avenue, and in fact reduced by half the possibilities for the area for the logistics of our troops, which are located in particular to the east of this highway, if we now see this infographic, now actually here are our troops they hold... defenses in this eastern pocket, it is somewhere about 6 km deep, and this

crossing mouth is now measured somewhere 3-4 km, and the enemy is just trying to reduce this throat in some way, and at this time a few days ago, exactly a third separate assault brigade entered this section of the front, it was directed. in this direction by the decision of his highness, by the decision of the commander-in-chief, i think, and today there were several such important messages from the third assault brigade and these... the messages precisely, well, quite clearly describe the situation in which now our most illustrious combat brigade has to fight. first of all, i will recall the words of commander andriy biletsky, he said that the situation in the city at the time of the formation of the brigade was extremely critical. separate battalions

of the third separate assault brigade have already conducted raids in the capture of the area by the enemy. active forces, enemy forces, where the third assault brigade is operating, there are seven brigades in total, of these seven brigades, two enemy brigades have already received critical damage, this is a critical damage, this is a loss, as i understand, more than half of the personnel, if measured there by russian moths regarding the loss of combat capability, and biletskyi says that the situation in avdivka remains threatening and unstable, the enemy continues to rotate his troops. then there was a comment from the deputy commander of the third separate assault brigade , maksym zhorin. he said that our third separate assault brigade performs combat tasks in conditions that even we, that is , the fighters of the third separate assault brigade, had a hard time imagining, because the battles in avdiivka are many times

more hellish than the hottest battles that took place in bakhmuti the confrontation is not easy. with the superior forces of the enemy, the enemy has a huge number of personnel, which is coming from all sides, and finally the words of the engineer of the third assault brigade, i think this is one of the commanders of the engineer battalions, or units that operate as part of the third assault brigade, what he said , that in general the situation is very similar to the bakhmut defense operation, when the infantry of the third assault division was forced to take up the defense immediately from the march, despite the fact that, like the tories... not a single position was prepared was, because at the time of the attack on the platoon, the strongholds held by the allies were either lost or destroyed, and after that there was such an official position from the spokesman of osutavry dmytro lykhovoy, he said that a maneuver by our units was taking place in avdiivka sometimes for moving to more

profitable positions, and sometimes for repelling positions, supplying the logistician. which to avdiivka and evacuation from avdiivka are complicated, and for this, likhova said, spare logistical arteries are used, which were prepared in advance are prepared if you look at the map, actually, without divulging any special secrets, because it is absolutely visible on the map, there are three roads in the direction of avdiyivka, this is the orlivka lastechkine road, which is already partially blocked by the enemy. there is a road from lastochkino to the north and a road from severnoy just to avdiivka, in fact all these two lower yellow lines, these are exactly the same roads that are currently used by our troops, and they converge just to the north of the avdiivka district of khimki from this district

of such high altitude buildings, and now i think that they are just... the main logistical way of maintaining our units, and the enemy is just directing efforts for further advancement to these lines. in my opinion, now the third assault brigade must either repel or restrain the advance of the enemy to the logistics routes, in and during such rearguard battles , ensure the exit of our units from the eastern pocket and from the anti-aircraft and cheburashka strongholds located there. in the south and thus ensure the preservation of the personnel of our brigades, which are in these areas, which are being attacked enemy. this is one version of events, maybe i 'm wrong, but i also understand that if we talk about powerful counterattacks on the enemy either from inside the pocket or from the north,

trying to significantly break the grouping of russian troops there. by such a new wedge into the enemy's defense, we must understand that we are talking about the forces that are needed for this, it is more than the forces of one brigade and remember that it is necessary to neutralize the advantage of the enemy in the air, which then uses active cabs and the advantage of artillery, so in any case this balance of the final decision, this is actually what the general staff is now adopting, or is already implementing in the course of... which are happening around avdiyivka, so the situation is extremely difficult, responsible for the general staff, extremely difficult for our brigades , we here in the rear, we can only observe and support as much as possible. our fighters as much as we can, then we will talk about another topic, about technologies on the battlefield, because in particular the third separate assault brigade, which now after the rotation

went to avdiivka, it had the goal, and i think it will achieve this goal by becoming the most technological brigade of the armed forces, using all solutions to increase effectiveness on the battlefield, and in the same way, many ukrainian teams are now creating solutions that should also increase the effectiveness of our... armed forces from an individual fighter to an individual unit, using certain know-how, and one of these know-how, by the way, was talked about by the minister of digital transformation fedorov sometime last year, at the end of last year, about the fact that such a solution has been created that allows to ensure protection against russian thermal imagers and drones with thermal imaging cameras, this is the cry of the invisible, and now we are joined... the person responsible for this decision is kostyantyn boryak, a senior researcher at the department of naval weapons development, research center

of the institute of naval forces. welcome to the spresso channel, glad to see and hear. yes, good evening, mr. sergey. congratulations. in fact, here you and your team are the developers of the new cloaking technology. cape, which can be included in the equipment of military personnel, and in fact, i understand that after the first one announcement about this model, and to this day there is such a, well, difficult process of evaluating this development by our military, and i would like to know what feedback from the military, at what stage this development is, what are the key advantages. does this cloak give a cape to individual fighters who can use it on the battlefield? of course, well, look, we are constantly

communicating, let's say with representatives of the ministry of defense, and with specialists who are now developing operationally, let's say tactical requirements for such products as camouflage means, and from thermal imaging. means observations, i.e. there are not yet, let’s say, clear such requirements, and this is understandable, since you understand that there is no one universal raincoat, and for different types of units of the armed forces of ukraine, that is, look, we developed a raincoat of exactly this design, and for protection and masking from thermal imaging. means of observation precisely for, let's say, units of the sso, gur, drg, there , let's say, fire support sniper groups, there, uh, but,

we, let's say, this, let's say, in this form of construction is not very, let's say, inherent for , let's say, units of the dshv, for example, yes, or others that use it in, let's say, the rhythm there... or in rapid movement, which require a lot of physical strength, yes, you understand that there are different requirements and different actions of the military, yes, those that, let’s say , are at checkpoints and not, and move slowly, that is, in walking order, or standing, or walking, or lying down, those are the units that i mentioned, it was for them that we developed, but this well the structure itself, it might not work so well if you... are in it to run, because moreover, it is not very convenient, let’s say, for running, but for moving around, i understood, then in fact now it is an initiative development that was made

earlier than the military prescribed the requirements for such a teardrop, so far it fits for snipers, for special operations forces, who are somewhere in position and do not move quickly, and then, relatively speaking, the enemy's thermal imager will not see them, when this person runs in tears, he... relatively speaking, runs in such a conditional thermos, it heats up even more, and then in fact, these advantages, not inconspicuousness, they disappear, and then it is necessary to distribute that this crying throw goes only for certain missions, and then it is possible to advance there further in the negotiations with the ministry of defense, that is how i understand it, well, not exactly, because look, we have there is no thermos, it is our product that is different from others that we observe that are offered. there is the fact that we, unlike others, have a process of heat exchange with the external environment, but this heat source is so, let's say, lively that

the thermal imager does not see it, that is... i don't i say that he will not mask while running, but maybe, let's say, well, a person cannot run for an hour and a half at a fast pace, yes, but when moving quickly, much more, many times, energy is released, which must be disposed of not for, let's say so , so that it is not imperceptible to thermal imagers, and simply the masking properties are a little worse, well, not so, but... they still protect, but at some points it can become, let's say, unmasking, as if a person is , say, run for half an hour or a time, it this is it, it is not required, it is not required in any case, as i understand it, you have made about 25 25 such sets, they have already been transferred to the armed forces, and there, for sure, some, let's say, experience of use and certain reviews, what are the reviews from

the troops on the sets that have been handed over? well, those that we have been engaged in development since the 14th year, that is why it has been 10 years, yes, and we have feedback and there is on paper, there is oral, that is, for the goals that we set before us, because the sniper turned to us first of all themselves, you'll understand, yes, and that's why we did it primarily for them, their feedback is positive, we have, let's say, well, if you can say, it's a queue, but the queue is not because we can't produce there. we simply do not have enough, well, let's say, finances to provide, at the expense of volunteers there or other dsrs, all the needs that, let's say, need, that is, we have an agreement , to the extent financially, we satisfy them, but we, on it's a pity, we can't satisfy all the needs yet, but speaking of language, what is the cost of this kit for snipers, how much

is it now? well, we have a multi-functional product, i want to add why and then tell the price, yes, because i am engaged in scientific development, my son produces it, yes, a partner, a colleague, who understands more exactly how much it is purchased, he makes it there, pays for it, somewhere around such a raincoat costs uah 20,000 today. if you compare it with foreign ones, then exactly this analog with such functions, say, the possibility of heat exchange, and so that it does not depend on electricity, yes, you understand, because you can whether a fan will provide cooling or some kind of refrigerator, then there are no such analogs yet, so that it is possible to do heat exchange without external power sources, that is why this type of protection is passive, yes, i

call it... strong, because they do not need external energy sources, then we developed it for the first time, we patented it, and we were approached by, let's say, to buy from specialists from the pentagon, we entered into negotiations, but we want to put it on the interstate program, and they agreed with us, so now we, let's say , we are developing something like that format so that interstate can be done. agreement and within the framework of this interstate , these studies will continue, but already with, let's say, together with nato representatives, so that they make it, let's say, a conclusion based on their standards and requirements for these such products, in addition, our ministry of defense by that time will , let's say, agree the requirements for, say, the testing of such products, and so there will be some integrity

and ... understanding on this issue, thank you very much for those explanations, i think we 'll come back to this topic somewhere in three weeks, because i think , what there will be a certain dynamic, thank you very much for this inclusion and i will remind our viewers that it was kosvyatyn boryak, a senior researcher of the naval weapons development department, the research center of the naval forces institute, he is the developer of this cloak of invisibility, the main purpose of this development - this is actually to ensure... the invisibility of snipers while working from the enemy's thermal imagers, and we see that it is still necessary to speed up such things, not to wait for the requirements of the ministry of defense and to look for other ways so that such samples end up on the front line faster. these were the main military results of this era, and more international ones...
