the country has already created the most favorable conditions for the development of companies that manufacture drones and for the stimulation of new technological solutions. but, as for me, here it is important to understand whether such assessments are shared by the managers of the companies that develop and manufacture these strike drones. and the second dimension of confrontation with the enemy is war. in cyberspace, and here cyber security specialists will have questions about whether russia will repeat attacks on our mobile operators, as it was with kyivstar, why the main management of... intelligence considers the telegram messenger dangerous and whether the decision of the ministry of defense is risky introduce a kind of action for the military for the relationship called army plus. so the search for answers in talking to experts in our war and weapons program. my name is serhiy zgurets, i am the director of the information and consulting company

defense express, which, together with the spresso channels , strives to highlight the most relevant trends in the industry. of security and defense, and now the first guest joins us, this is the chairman of the board of the alliance new energy of ukraine, the commander of the special unit of strike drones of the russian air force, valery borovyk. let me remind our viewers that a number of companies that are now members of the new energy of ukraine alliance were actually pioneers in development of strike drones back in the 14th year, in the form that has now almost become a classic. since then, this company has been developing. a number of other samples currently used by our armed forces. mr. valery, congratulations, glad to see and hear you on the espresso channel. congratulations, serhii, i am very happy too. your unmanned systems are already actively used on the battlefield, they have been used by our military for a long time, but the war of the 14th year is not similar to the war there of the 22nd

year. the 23rd and 24th years are just as different because they actually change. and our approaches, there are the tactics of the enemy in countering our unmanned systems, and i would like to ask you at the beginning how these changes have affected the improvement of your systems and what your team is currently focusing on when it comes to both the development and the production of strike systems, well, look , in fact, the development is constant, for example, one of... there, our forays in the zaporozhye direction led to the loss of several drones, we arrived and are changing our approaches there, so that we can change the frequency in the air, so that we can have more and more interesting models there and more interesting solutions to counteract the enemy's forces, but this is a chase, it is constant, and

you know, those solutions that yesterday were cool there six months, three months ago, so they may no longer work in some areas, or they may not work at all, although they were well, they were very promising and they allowed us to solve the tasks that were needed, but right now we have guys, i just called my deputy at the training ground, they are also adjusting some points that have experience, they also came with drones from zaporizhzhia direction means change , change approaches, change frequencies, we also work there on ltmodems, which means that this work, which you say, is happening constantly, and whoever will not do it, whoever will not have feedback from the front line, who there are no such opportunities , there, if the manufacturers, for example, released, gave, and then the soldiers there are others, for example,

the units use, and they do not have such close... cooperation with the front line, then this will constantly affect the fact that we remain in yesterday's day and we will have problems with the use of drones, they are still very significant, but we need to change their approach so that we can have a good influence on the means of impression that the enemy has, and not only there with reconnaissance and adjustment of the march, but also with impressed by drones... and whatever we are doing, mr. valery , right now, when we are talking about approaching the position of the military there, the developers, how this process was affected, or maybe it will be affected in the future, this decision to create a new type of troops in the armed forces forces that will take care of unmanned systems, or already have you felt any influence of this process on your work, if not, what do you feel, do

you have any advice for the leadership of this kind of troops, really. to ensure some kind of more effective synergy between the developers and those who use these complexes on the battlefield? look, in fact, the entry of those people who will come to manage this direction into the armed forces is taking place, because some people, some people, she was, well, in this process before, but some people... are new, they have figure out how it is works, how is the procurement, how is the assembly of combat units, how to make requests and so on, i.e. so far it has affected only the fact that they took a break, i spoke with the representatives there yesterday, they took a break to understand how

the system that was in place yesterday works, and this has its own negative and positive aspects, so that there is hope, we producers always have hope that the new team, or let's say, the people we knew there from the front lines, they... will do it more transparently, more clearly with by those means that really impress the enemy, and because there is a problem with procurement, in the volumes of the procurement of products that are currently produced by the state, 70-80% of the funds are spent on the purchase of fpv drones, and today it is no longer a secret , and i 've been saying this all the time that... the efficiency of fpv drones is 30 at most, if a very good division of percent, the other 70% is a firebox, it's combustion, because they are simple, they are

unprotected from reb, even excavated rebs, and indeed because they are cheap, their shaft they take 500-700 dollars there, up to a thousand dollars, and they take it with praise, but when you look at the effectiveness, you need to... already move on to other, other stages, you need to make bombers, you need to do it with an expensive system of proof, anti-reb, security, well, what did we concentrate on , we, i personally was the first to show it to the previous commander-in-chief, the diligent, i was the first to show it, he saw it first, and we, together with our team, showed this impression from... then he was delighted and said: listen, give me the whole area , we will now kill some one there the area of ​​the front, i say, we cannot give it, we are just starting

to use it, no one has used it yet, it is not certified, there are no pilots, and then it, we wrote the concept, gave it, gave it to the commander-in-chief, and then this development went in waves , yes, but these cheap drones, their time... is passing, so, and i've been saying this for a long time, because i say it again, we need developments that counter the reb, that can lead to the target without the use of a person, that , which can already fully say that these are military drones. then the question arises, are there any examples that meet the criteria you mentioned, that it would be a cheap drone, not very effective or moderately effective compared to the more promising ones. they are really , let's say, samples that are guaranteed to perform tasks on the battlefield with less load on the operator, what are you doing, if you can say so in general, in this direction, and are there any

samples that really meet these requirements? i can say that what we are doing, apparently, that the teams are also seriously engaged in this, to make a conventional combat mavic, which can fly the mission, use hover. resets, turn back, again we equip it with warheads and work, what is on the front line, what is behind the front line, what, what is far for special special operations in the rear, the rear of the enemy, we are engaged in this, we are engaged in this with special units that understand the value of this particular complex, it is the osa complex, which, of course, is more expensive, but there are special systems there. guidance, there are systems that work under rebo, systems that work with other, let's say, forms of communication, that is, which hang, which fly

according to the mission, this is a different type of drone, and this is a different history of bombers, which must be effectively developed, it is not being developed to date, everyone rushed into fpi-drones, everyone... they are collecting with screwdrivers there at my place yesterday , the best man came from nizhyn, there are collecting girls sitting there in this, in different organizations, in schools, they gather, it's all interesting, it's all cool, it needs to be done, but it is necessary to move or develop the military system of another direction in parallel to another.

rather, they affect the present and a little of the past, yes, because relatively speaking, we we are already standardizing this flow of cheap drones , and the other component is to raise the bar of requirements, and here, for sure, the minister of defense, there with the new commander of the armed forces, should raise the bar of requirements for manufacturers, who should step up and really provide those samples that will well, much more effective than that shaft of these cheap drones that we are now trying to provide at the expense of any options, is that how it works? it turns out to be even more difficult, because now it is actually with combat drones on its own the ministry of defense is taking over more, there are more contracting powers , which means the general staff, which gives requests, but there is another problem, that it is not clear where the point

of making a decision about which companies... to contract, she understood for someone, no, not for everyone, even new ones , the new agency that procures according to the procurement of the ministry of defense , the new team, too, sometimes they are surprised that requests come, for example, from the general staff, it is from the previous ones, probably from the previous iteration, maybe even now, but for now they are working on the previous iteration contracts, where in general the companies do not know, sometimes it even happens that the company receives a request to contract with the company for a drone that has not even passed certification, which does not have access to the operation of the nato code. and in an emergency order, these issues are solved for him. let me remind you of our conversations that we spent three to four months just for access to the exploitation of all these documents that

used to be, now they are. changed to the creation of an experimental unit there, which on the front line six months earlier it was access to exploitation, and part of the companies are allowed to get these accesses to exploitation, conditionally speaking, by a long way, and some of the companies that do not even have a certificate, for some reason there are requests for their contracting, this is not at all... well, never mind is invested and it has to be changed by new teams, so actually now, as i understand it, we have in part the inertia of the past there, and your company has just fallen under this inertia of the past, where you were simply exhausted by unnecessary procedures instead of securing the purchase, now the situation has changed a little, but we can see that the newly created agency is still working out the rules, and in particular, the more powerful

of the company. the structure that has the money, in particular the state special communications, they tell me that for two months, the contracts through the ministry of special communications have not been signed with the vast majority of suppliers, although about 40 billion hryvnias, actually these are the figures of the ministry of statistics and the state special communications, they are certain monopolists in terms of volume for the purchase of these drones, the question arises for you, do you have contracts with the state intelligence service with or? again the left part is, after all, volunteer funds and partly the ministry of defense, now there is no, and exactly what you said is happening, that is, we provided all the information to the derspetszvyazuk, the head of the derspetszvyazuk, we know him, a good, decent guy , yura , he called me there last weekend or the day before last, how is it with your father whom we show, they are ready, ready to contract, but i don't know why we don't

contract, a request to the one who will provide this year's supply to the national guard, we have already closed the national guard contract in the past year, you can ask those who came to us, whom we trained, pilots and so on, their impressions, they are very satisfied with the complex, which means that now we are ready to contract in full, for our money, unfortunately, we charge from investor funds, volunteer funds. we are currently making 500 boards there, we will have them for a week, that is , we can already contract and supply from 200 to 1000 boards per month, depending on the configuration, and we are ready to do this and we are ready to contract with the state special forces, why not now contract, but i haven't yet i understand, all the data is yes on...
