and today ukrainian drones attacked tatarstan and explosions rang out in two cities, at an enterprise where shahedis were produced or gathered, and the second enterprise was an oil refinery, the distance between the ukrainian border and the points where these drones flew is 1,200 kilometers or there about 1000 km, according to the mass media, ukrainian drones damaged the primary oil refining plant, the capacity of which was 2.6% of the total annual refining of the russian federation, and there a fire broke out. the russians write that the strikes were carried out by ug-22, airborn drones. and please tell us about these drones, what kind of drones they are, are they exclusively ukrainian drones, are they

assembled from some separate parts and assembled by ukrainians, or are they not ukrainian. that is , what kind of resources are we now using in strikes against the rear of the occupying state? i would like to tell you about these kurijet-22 drones, but the blow was not inflicted by them, so the blow was inflicted by a ukrainian plane, it was also a plane, an a22, but called an aeropractic, it's a plane, it's a plane that you' used in an unmanned version and loaded with explosives, and in this way it was possible to overcome a distance of 1000 kilometers, the total distance was 1200 km, because the gentle camp of ilabuga, they are apart from each other, well, this zone, so they are, the alabuga zone, they are apart from each

other across the volga by about 20-30 km, that is, on average... it can be considered that both objects were hit by the same drones, so the distance was about 1200 km, i took the distance from kharkov, and kharkov is a few 10 km from the border, and what kind of plane is this a22, that is, it is a glider, as i understand it, with wingspan, like a small motor plane, that’s right, it’s a plane with... wingspan, it was produced since 1999 in ukraine, ah, in general, the wingspan is from 9.55 to 10 m long, well, you see it, yes, it is such, such a huge plane, yes, as for comparison with a drone, it is noticeable larger than a drone, so it was very easily identified by these videos that were

published, well, posted on the network, in general the plane... why did it also fall on him, so to speak, well, the certainty that it is actually this plane, because its range, which is in the advertising brochures, is 1100 km, to slightly increase this range there by 100 km for such a car size is a small problem , especially since you don't need to put people on the plane, there is a free seat and add a little fuel, well, the only more difficult thing is to make an executive. we, who would control this plane based on the signals of the navigation system, well, it can be seen that our engineers managed to create such a power system that would convert radio signals into executive commands for the controls of this aircraft. you said that this aircraft was

created a long time ago, and it was obviously not designed for the tasks it is currently being used for. and the security service of ukraine and the main intelligence directorate, and what are these a22 planes for, why were they created in ukraine from the very beginning? to seek adventure, it's for those people who have extra money, and they can travel somewhere with their wife or with their son or with their daughter, because it's a two-seater plane in general, even though there yes, it seems to be a two-seater, i won’t tell you for sure, i’ve seen this plane many times and sat in the cockpit, but it’s a small plane in general with a rotax engine, depending on the model, the engine power is 80 or 100 horsepower, that’s the plane in general , cool, cheap, but such that, you know, you need to be an expert to know which

element of the plane you can lean on, because it was calculated so that it was the lightest and there are many composite ones. well, most of the materials created by them are composites, but generally this one machine, it is already, i think that in ukraine, well, since 1999, i think that there are enough of these decommissioned planes, which in general can be converted into such remotely controlled drones. nevertheless, in parallel with these a22, ukraine also uses drones, or at least that is what the minister of digital transformation mykhailo says. in an interview with a german publication, he said that ukraine started manufacturing drones with a range of more than 100 km, quoting the minister, we increased the production of long-range drones tenfold compared to last year. most of the drones that attacked russian refineries have a range of 700 to 1,000 km, but there are now models that can fly over

1,000 km. in one of the previous programs, we talked about these drones with you, and we talked about the range that they cover, but fedorov did not say what the industrial capacity in the production of such drones is, he said that it will increase tenfold. production, compared to last year, well, here is the question, from which number should we multiply by 10 to understand whether these are hundreds or thousands of such drones does ukraine produce? well, this question is not for me, it is for mr. federo, he knows better, much better. i know that we have several drones, for example, the creation of the lutya drone was announced, yes, and it was guaranteed there, well, now you are showing exactly ukrzhet 20. two drones, yes , they showed, here it is now, yes, then the drone was created lyuty, so lutyy is, let 's say, a ukrainian copy of the bayrahtar, but

the bayrahtar is a scout, a reconnaissance drone, and uh, tyuly is a kamikaze drone, but if you compare the photos of the two there, you will practically find the difference only in the hood engine, ah, then there is also a drone from, which is financed by... mr. prytula's fund - it's t 26. yes, i didn't say, in february it was really announced, so to speak, with a range of 100 km. ucrg26 bober drones have a shorter range, up to 700, 600, 700, maybe 800 km. well, in general, yes, there was still such a drone, of an extremely primitive design, which was called, ah, aq-400, but there it was announced that the manufacturer is capable of producing up to 500 such drones per month, if of course there will be funding,

well, that is in general, some line of drones is for ready for production, well, i hope that they will still be produced in the agreed quantities, but for now to say which of them and how many, well, you understand, that should be... said by mr. fedorov and what he considers necessary to say, well, fedorov is not speaking yet, but president zelensky yesterday at a meeting dedicated to the production of drones said that drones will say one of the decisive words in this war, ukraine should produce more of them. let's listen to what president zelensky said. we talked today about the nuances of production, and about support funding, about contracts, about the necessary flexibility in prioritizing, exactly what war requires: our

defense industrial complex must produce as much as it needs, as much as it needs to, on time as it needs to. it is obvious that drones in this war will say one of the decisive words for victory, and it should be a ukrainian word, ukrainian drones, ukrainian victory, and therefore more is needed. more effective ukrainian drones, we can provide this, by the way, cnn reported that ukraine has built a full-fledged drone industry, which gave it a technological advantage against the russian federation, and as the american television company reports, every ukrainian drone has a terminal computer with satellite and terrain data, accuracy. became possible thanks to the sensors of the drone, it has machine vision, which is a form of artificial intelligence, so i understand that the production of drones and the construction of drones

is now one of the priority tasks, and these drones or the production of these drones come, no wonder, to replace the ukrainian aviation industry. well, you know, i said somewhere in september of the 22nd year that our only opportunity to be a full-fledged participant in a contactless network-centric war is to build drones, this is the simplest option, the destruction of russian bodies, what is a contactless, network-centric war, yes, this is the destruction of the enemy's economy, their control centers, the enemy's energy systems at long distances, unfortunately, they do not give us either cruise missiles, ballistic missiles,

or rockets. which could be applied there from airplanes, so that we can work behind the russian rear, and even on the missiles that are given to us, restrictions are imposed not to fire on russian territory, which is there until february 22nd, so the production of drones is our only the possibility of inflicting similar strikes on russia, as it always inflicts on our territory, and so... and i am very happy that now we are finally paying the necessary attention to this, they have finally started to produce something, and i hope that such strikes by drones will be be applied to on a regular basis, especially since due to its huge territory, russia is very vulnerable to this, it will not be able to protect all enterprises on such a large

territory from anti-aircraft fire. means, or anti-aircraft means or anti-aircraft artillery. now the russians have already begun to form such mobile groups with machine guns, as they work in our country on distant approaches or, in general, on the nearest approaches to some of our important objects. mr. valery, against the background of our successes in the construction of drones and in the design of drones, we see how the russians started to use aerial bombs again for... in kharkov, the spokesman of the air force of the armed forces of ukraine, ilya yevlash, says that russia has an extremely large number of bombs weighing 1.5 kg, or 1.5 tons, probably 1,500 kg, which are capable of completely destroying residential high-rise buildings, and russia uses such bombs to wear out ukrainian air defense, what kind of bombs are these,

weighing one and a half tons. does this mean that russia pulled out the old soviet bombs, or is this the weaponry that was prepared and is already beginning to restore or produce the russian military-industrial complex, well, i will try to briefly explain what it is about, we are not actually talking about bombs, we are talking about ompk modules with these bombs, in kharkiv our front is also affected. the front lines are struck not by free-fall bombs, but actually by these umpk blocks mounted on fab-1500 m-54 bombs, that is, bombs of the 54 model, the production of which russia resumed last year, although a huge number of them were still in warehouses, so now on these and so these are drones, they have these bombs have very bad

aerodynamics, that's why russia... they made such a cap on the nose and installed a slightly enlarged umpk module with wings, which allows this bomb to fly, well, not 70 km, like five hundred, a little less than kilometers, but still they are dropped outside the range of our anti-aircraft missile systems, therefore very, so to speak, very, very dangerous for ours. defense for our cities, because on board such a bomb, well, not on board, excuse the expression, this bomb contains more than 760 kg of explosives, that is, we have, excuse me, 600, 674 kilograms of explosives, that is, they are very dangerous, and carry what you find there , i

will not withstand huge eruptions and any field fortification. the hit of such a bomb, but with regard to, say, a house, one hit is enough to completely destroy our normal standard five- or nine-story building, at the same time, the russians are still testing the hypersonic zircon missile, and this has already been certified by the ukrainian side, and by the russian side, and what are the problems with the work... of this missile that the armed forces of ukraine currently have? well, the only problem is that we don't have enough long-range anti-aircraft missile systems, which are able to perform the work of anti-missile systems, yes, to be anti-missile systems at the same time. in total, we have as many as four of them, three patriots, and if he works for us, then one sampte.
