if we recall the use of such a machine , it is used by a significant number of the army, has combat experience of use in various hot spots, but the manufacturers , the italian company iveco, did not have such experience of intensive use in hostilities, as is currently ongoing in ukraine, and i think that this this is going to be the first such combat experience of using this rather effective light machine, and now, if... we have an expert on the line, for now we are just waiting for a person to be added to our line with whom we can talk about means armored vehicles are used by the ukrainian army using the samples that new samples will be given to us in ukraine, and here , first of all, i will mention that this time at ramstein there was less talk about armored vehicles, because as we can see, the main

emphasis is really placed primarily on ammunition , on which the stability of our defense line depends, and in particular i would like to remind you that in addition to the announcement of the allocation of 5 billion euros for this peace fund for ukraine, it is also known that last week european countries adopted another decision, to speed up the production of ammunition. and to eliminate the bottlenecks that exist with the production of ammunition in european countries , the european union decided to finance such a certain fund for 500 million euros, from which the funds will be directed primarily to the expansion of production in three directions, namely the production of projectile cases, expansion of production. and the expansion of powders, these are all things

that are currently slowing down the pace of ammunition production in european countries. and now mykola salamakha is joining us retired lieutenant colonel, project manager at the domestic defense and industrial company energy 2000, expert in the field of anti-tank weapons. mr. mykola, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. good evening, well, at least the first question, after all. not about armored vehicles, but rather about armored vehicles, because there is this good news about the delivery of a large batch of iveco machines from an italian manufacturer, it is a light armored vehicle like this, would like to hear from you about the place in the order of battle for such cars and your general estimates of obtaining such a number of cars, armored cars, that’s it... these are not

infantry fighting vehicles, they’re not armored personnel carriers, but for the protection of personnel from small-caliber small arms, that’s 5456, that’s at distances of more than half a kilometer, that’s and from the caliber 7.62 mm, and also from artillery from the ul. artillery shells, this is quite necessary equipment, and it will be used, first of all, as various special vehicles, these are command posts, these are mobile means of communication, these are basic vehicles for various anti-tank guided missile systems, for anti-war units. ground

defense, that's basically where we're using pickup trucks right now, that's an all-terrain vehicle, it's got a very good suspension, it's got a very reliable engine, and actually, it's going to increase the survivability of those units that will use this technique very seriously, so we hope it is true that this machine will help us on the battlefield, well, now to your native topic, to tanks, but now the battlefield has changed radically and there with mining and with the use of fp drones, now we see, well, the active destruction of tanks by the same drones, now we can even see a video there, does this mean that this war is already becoming such a real dead end for tanks, and the need for tanks will decrease, because they are quickly lost, and the very tactics of using units change. what is

your prediction for tanks? well, there is nothing to replace an artillery installation that conducts combat operations. directly or in the battle formations of the defending or advancing infantry, or in at the closest distance, well, up to half a kilometer , at most up to a kilometer from the first soldier who is located, that is, directly on the line of contact with the enemy, that is, the very defense itself is protected by such an artillery system - it is a tank, and so... another thing is that the use of new types of weapons, this entails the use of new methods of countering these new types of weapons, this is radio-electronic warfare, this is also various nets against fpv

drones, which will physically, that is, prevent the direct interaction of ammunition. which use fpv drones with armor of a tank or other armored combat vehicle , this is the use in units of those means of struggle that will oppose it, that is, shoot, and now there are already examples when the same pump-action rifles, or even 12-caliber hunting weapons, are being used by armed in order to fight... with fpv drones, this is the period when fpv drones own the battlefield, very seriously, it will pass smoothly in the near future, because ways and means of fighting fpv drones will be found, and

the further, the more difficult it will be to terrorize everything that is currently on the battlefield with the fpv drone. well, we hope that your forecast is yours. is true, and now one of the problems facing ukraine, or our military, is the maintenance of western-made tanks. i was talking there yesterday about the problems with spare parts for leopards 2.6, there were reports that our partners there are looking for drawings to make tracks for old western-made equipment, that's what your friends say, among which... many of those who is engaged in the repair of western equipment, are there any urgent proposals from the grassroots or any decisions that should be taken at the top in order to simplify the acuteness of the issue regarding the repair of western equipment, so there are several stages

that we are forced to go through: the first is receiving from our western partners a repair documentation, and if the western...partners understood the whole situation that they themselves would face with the release of spare parts in large quantities for and to the second leopards and to the first leopards and to the challengers, then they would probably have acted more actively at the stage of preparation for the transfer of its armored vehicles to the armed forces of ukraine, unfortunately, this was not done in a timely manner, and now, when the question arises that it is necessary to organize repairs, the one that can be organized in ukraine is not enough, first, there is technical documentation, and secondly , there is a lack of experience, but state structures act

very slowly, private structures are ready to take on any work, but private structures do not have experience on the other side, although they learn much faster than state structures, and on the other hand there is none technical documentation, it is necessary to literally invent ways and methods of repair for many units of military equipment, and i am talking not only about tanks, but also about the same btrm13 in different variations, about the same humvees, so where is the cure and... by 1,000 units or more, that is, we have to do very serious work, and the private sector, which now cooperates with the armed forces of ukraine and power structures, and

state structures, and unfortunately, we are lagging behind, but over time it will all level off , but for... western partners now very clearly understood that the normative stocks of spare parts and repair kits they had were for modern warfare. a completely inadequate number, and they are now beginning to understand that they will need to expand the production of spare parts, units and aggregates, not only for the armed forces of ukraine, but also for their own needs. and you can’t ask about simulators, because relatively speaking, in order for there to be less, for the tank to break down less, for the bmp to break down less, for people to use these or other samples more effectively, they need to be prepared, usually we prepared them on simulators now the situation has changed a bit, it is impossible to conduct training in training centers because there is a threat of a missile attack

, the commander is probably not very interested in hauling simulators for military units. how do you get out of this situation, which is demonstrated by the practice of your company, which is quite well-known in terms of providing the armed forces with training equipment of various levels? so, the problem of simulators is primarily a problem of insufficient number of enterprises. produce simulators for various purposes, first of all fully functional, that's why, that's why that simulators are of different levels , there are those simulators that can, that provide knowledge about a certain type of weapon, a type of weapon, but on which you cannot practice skills, these are simulators, well , semi-functional, there are simulators, those that now... pov 'related to virtual reality , it's where either virtual

reality glasses or glasses, virtual reality, and programs that came mainly from different games, but there is no consideration of such phenomena as weapon recoil, no consideration of such phenomena as ballistics , there is no consideration of such phenomena as movement of a soldier on the field'. any, that is , such simulators are clearly tied to one point and calibration directly to this point, took two steps to the side, everything, the simulator stopped functioning, and full-function simulators, those that are directly engaged in by the company that works, at which i work , but in ukraine there are such enterprises, well, you can count them on the fingers of one hand, unfortunately, er, there are not enough of these simulators, first of all, in training

centers, which we have developed in the last two years, there are several dozen, but there are literally less 10 simulators, which are provided in order to conduct basic professional training of specialists of various directions, these are primarily mechanics of drivers of various combat vehicles, tanks, and... secondly, they are complex simulators for crews, combat vehicles, infantry, tanks, armored personnel carriers , well, there is a very large and wide range of applications, these are atgm and manpads simulators, here in ukraine the picture is a little better, because there are several manufacturers that, to one degree or another, are still more or less adequate competition. and there is an attitude that has already changed from there the command of the armed forces to the fact that

simulators are needed and perhaps this influenced the increase in orders, what is it really? the increase in orders is possible and very serious, if the ministry of defense had the money for it, why? because simulators are still quite expensive, full-function simulators, and secondly... secondly, the process of manufacturing the simulator itself, starting with the fact that we have to purchase a lot of components abroad, is a rather serious time, from six months and sometimes it happens even more, unfortunately, in the armed forces of ukraine, as well in general, in the state, we do not have planning for more than one financial year, this is on the one hand, and on the other hand, no one can... clearly state how many and what type of simulators will be needed next year and

plan some actions, why ? because if they tell me that it is necessary to make a simulator for the tankleopard 2a4, then i need at least a year to develop all the technical documentation, then manufacture it and then test it for at least six months, that is, the cycle of manufacturing a simulator with zero is... about two years, oh, and then there will be a period of treatment for children's diseases. mr. mykola, thank you very much for the inclusion, for what you and your company do for the armed forces, supply. a number of simulators that really help our armed forces and our soldiers to master various types of weapons, starting from anti-tank missile systems, to self-propelled guns of various chains, to ukrainian and non-soviet tanks, all this really helps our soldiers, then effectively use them on the battlefield already real

samples of weapons. let me remind you that mine the interlocutor was mykola salamakha, retired lieutenant colonel. and a project manager at the domestic defense and industrial company energy 2000. these were the main highlights in the military and military results of this day, followed by more international and economic news. next is vasyl zema's big broadcast, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. thanks to serhii turk, thanks to his guest, these were the military results of the day. good evening, we are from ukraine. there are

years ago, on march 16, 2014, the russian occupiers held a so-called referendum in crimea under the muzzles of machine guns. the operation to seize the peninsula began on february 20. in this one day, the armed forces of the russian federation for the first time violated the procedure for crossing the state border of ukraine through the kerch strait. since the same year, 2014 , russia began to spread the narrative that the peninsula was taken allegedly peacefully. with the consent of the crimeans, however, the participants of the protest are a living refutation of this myth. very different people came out on the street, they were not even politically connected with politics in any way, well, until the 14th. year, they were, i don't know, kindergarten teachers, they were some teachers, they were journalists, they were, well, even people who didn't work, pensioners, i saw

a lot of people too, that is, they were just people who did not agree with the fact that russia was taking over their home. these voices were not shown to the general public there by any television, because at that time the radio-television transmitters in crimea had already been captured, and only russian was spoken there. russian tv channels, and accordingly, they broadcast only pro-russian rallies. voting during the so-called referendum took place with numerous violations, the whole world recognized this, of course, except for russia. the main scheme for falsification was a simplified procedure of entering people into additional lists, right at the polling stations, so the number of people who supposedly voted was abnormally large. in addition, in the ballots printed on ordinary white sheets of a4 format, there was no item that would allow voting for crimea to remain part of ukraine. at the same time, to say that crimea was taken with

the consent of all crimeans and apparently not by military means, but by peaceful means is simply untrue, at least untrue, at most simple propaganda with which they try to deceive ukraine and the whole world. while the whole of ukraine was reeling from the shooting by the berkuts of unarmed people against... on the maidan in kyiv, the russian occupiers acted very quickly, they understood that, in order for the truth not to leak beyond the peninsula, it was necessary to silence all mass media. russia has landed machine gunners and machine gunners near the crimean television and radio broadcasting centers. the last time we had a broadcast just on the birthday of taras hryhorovych shevchenko, on my shift on march 9, i announced program at 10.20 before his birthday , somewhere she lost, well, maybe 5 minutes, maybe 6 minutes, if not less, and i heard that

something else was playing on the air, not our program at all, when i went on the air, then i heard that radio vesti russia is already playing there. individual crimean zmi tried to work for some time to talk about what was really happening, however, it was risky to do so, because apart from threats, you could... get in and play, i worked underground in crimea for two years, from 14 to 2016 -th year, before that at the time when the shugan program was installed on my computer with the help of the provider, on april 19, 2016, at 6:00 a.m., i was attacked with a search warrant in order to find all these materials on my computer and... what i sent the ukrainian mass media, the kremlin's policy has not undergone any significant changes since then,

today, as in 2014, repression and persecution continue in crimea. according to the crimean rights group, during the 10 years of occupation, at least 10,400 crimeans suffered from russian repression. at least 200 citizens are staying. behind bars, do not receive medical care, in most cases become victims of torture. during all 10 years of occupation, russia has created such an island in crimea, where laws really do not apply, where only some criminal principles of the russian government apply. 10 years in crimea, relative to the civilian population of the peninsula is being done. only lawlessness, the population lives in fear, international organizations have long recognized the occupation of crimea as illegal, today the entire world community knows that crimea is ukraine,

and sooner or later he will return home. tatiana golonova, oscar jansons, espresso tv channel. russky mir tried to denationalize lyceum number one in borodyanka on its own. the occupiers

left a fire and inscriptions on the remains of the walls, rebuilding the destroyed educational institution seemed almost impossible. however, local educators did not give up hope and asked for help from friendly countries. then the ambassador of the republic of lithuania, valdimara sarapines, came up and said: madam director, we will rebuild your school, we will definitely rebuild it, and they arrived after a week or two, somewhere they came to our school and said that we are preparing everything, we will definitely rebuild your school, we are now preparing the documentation. we are preparing a project, we are preparing a tender, and in the new year, in january, reconstruction will begin. work has been going on for a whole year, the lyceum was rebuilt according to all modern norms and standards, the facade was insulated, windows were replaced, internal work was carried out, and a new shelter, unique for the country, was built next to the school. it was difficult, you see, the building was damaged, certain legal procedures took place,

property rights. land, beneficiaries, financing, public procurement, tenders and so on, but we worked together as a team step by step, deciding what to do with the bomb shelter, the building, reconstruction, construction permits, etc. the restoration of the lyceum cost almost eur 8 million. the work was financed by the fund for the development of cooperation and humanitarian aid of lithuania, and almost eur 2 million for internal equipment, furniture and external infrastructure in... was borne by the representation of taiwan in lithuania. lyceum in borodyanka completely modernized, now there is an atrium, interactive panels, smart boards and other modern equipment. here we were told the whole story. certainly, i think, the school even improved, not just rose from the ruins, but also became better than it was before. i also think it's very important to rebuild well

when we rebuild. ukraine, let's take care of schools, hospitals or other facilities. it's important to make them better, especially when it comes to stability and similar features. the reconstruction of the school was implemented by the central agency at the initiative of the lithuanian government project management. moreover, in order to scale up the reconstruction of educational institutions throughout the country, they are currently working on another project. as part of the school of the future for ukraine, an international one has already been announced. architectural competition. the winning project will be used for the construction of educational institutions throughout ukraine. it will be an adaptive project that can be logically adapted to different locations, to different needs, to different numbers of students. and in general , this project will be provided to each community free of charge for their use. and that in fact, returning to the issue of design and estimate documentation, which is extremely expensive, so here is this project

of the future school of architecture. the project will greatly simplify the life of many communities. lithuanian-ukrainian lyceum number one is ready to welcome seven hundred students. all that remains is to complete the improvements and put the school into operation. friends from lithuania emphasize that such a new school is far from the last gift to ukraine. it sounds like a cliché, but in reality, we are investing in the future. we invest in children who, i am sure, will create a better world, a world without... war, because i understand all the circumstances now, i know all these atrocities of war, so we have to help rebuild as soon as possible, now, not later, not when the war is over, but now. the republic of lithuania has already allocated more than 14 million euros for the construction of a temporary settlement, reconstruction of educational institutions and other projects in ukraine. kateryna galko, dmytro nekiforov, espresso tv channel.
