another plane that was following it was forced to turn around, and this means that a number of missiles were not fired over ukraine, in general , the operation was, well, a certain repetition , taking into account, of course, the gurmo operation to shoot down the a50 plane, which took place, which took place recently, so the distance this time is even greater, let us remind you that we are talking about distances. about 300 km from the ukrainian border, this is truly a landmark operation, a landmark result for ukraine. mr. yehor, this operation, which was carried out by gurmo together with the air force, shows that in ukraine is getting more opportunities to hit planes at such a distance, or the ukrainians are starting to adapt the weapons they have, they have, in order to deliver such strikes. that is, from the experience of using

the weapons that you use, well , obviously, the ukrainians turn into kulibins, who try to hit objects with different, different weapons, even, it would seem, in a completely unusual situation , to shoot down such strategic bombers? in fact, this is exactly the case, and ukraine lacks weapons, but... we are starting to experiment, this is exactly how, by the way, fpv drones appeared, and due to the lack of ammunition, due to the fact that there was a lack of a certain amount of artillery, drones began to be used for a different purpose, and this was about a year and a half ago, and you can clearly see what role, for example, the very same people now play a colossal role in this war, yes.

i myself think that i do not have certain technical knowledge there in the field of air defense, but i think that here the same story is the same, simply due to the experiment of such military creativity, it's very good that we have him, it's very good that there are units that take similar risks, by the way, we don't know how many failed operations there were, for example, i'm convinced that behind this operation, believe me, it's colossal. the work, the huge amount of time spent by the fighters on this training, and well, as we see the result, the result is very, very important to us, because believe me, now the enemy feels very confident and convinced in the air, and we have very little means to , well, let's say so, beat the enemy in in the air, yes, we have patriots, anti -aircraft defense, and... but this is not enough to

impose such a struggle on the enemy, the story here is as follows: terrorists flew here, hit and bombed peaceful cities, and they were destroyed, this is a very important factor, i wish the participants of this operation success, and let's hope that this will not be an isolated case, but that it will develop into a systemic systemic action. general budanov says that this special operation... took place for a very long time and the special forces or people who serve in gurmo sat in ambush for a whole a week, until this plane reached the boundaries along which they could hit and hit, says that the distance was 308 km, well, this is quite a serious result, and with which we can congratulate the fighters of gurmo and the air force.

of ukraine, but you mentioned that this war is turning into a war of drones, ukraine has even created forces of unmanned systems of the armed forces of ukraine. in february , a decree was signed, sukharevsky heads these forces of unmanned systems. you, er, how do you assess, er, the beginning of the war and the use of drones, the very first of the ukrainian sides, and that. to what extent our enemy is now making progress in the use of drones, how quickly they adapt, because they probably have a larger resource base, they have more partners who can do it, they mean iran, china, i don't know, the north, north korea , that is, how do we look now in the sky with drones and how are they? look, the situation is as follows, ah, i even suggest...

going back in time a little, exactly a year ago, i brought my unit the first batch of fpv drones, i was still engaged in tactical medicine, these fpv drones when i was showing my team. well, first of all, no one believed in them, but they said that it was impossible, unreal, they looked at them with interest, they just looked at them, took them and could not believe that it could destroy a tank, but now, recently, a party fpv drones came to us in the amount of 300 pieces, and believe me, for these 300 pieces we will definitely destroy several dozen tanks, howitzers, self-propelled artillery installations. now we are hunting for a kind of installation that, for example, releases there, well, let's say, rockets to don't talk about it widely, that's why everyone understands, and by the way, i'll say about our brigade that we already overtook the artillery a long, long time ago, and here, and our results are very, very significant,

that is, i don't know there, well for tens of millions of dollars, we, only our unit, destroyed enemy equipment, so... that's why it's very important, it's a breakthrough, and we, both our unit and, in principle , all the armed forces of ukraine have made a step there , just a giant jump in progress, but there is one caveat, the caveat is that the enemy is too is developing very strongly, and the enemy does some things, well, let's say, even better than us, despite the fact that russia is ... under sanctions, but they supply, they supply drones, directly in pv drones, china, for example , directly, we do not have such an opportunity to work with china, no company that will buy drones in china simply cannot do it, because there is some

internal directive that does not work with ukraine, it can be done through some country over there in europe and so on, to invent something, here, but we do not have such an opportunity directly, and... i know that our enemy has a number of factories, large-scale factories for the production of half-buckets and not only, so i probably now, well, there is not enough ether to list what they have there, what we have, the main story , that in some moments they are a head higher and half a hull higher than if they were ahead of us, they have more long-range drones of the lancet, superka type. there are hall - type reconnaissance drones.

drones flew farther, were more accurate, the system was homing systems and so on, that is, the war, sometimes i get the impression, it does not stop... it takes place on the battlefield, as much as in these conventional engineering rooms where various solutions are developed, so that our soldiers, for example, we still have a drone, it is like that, it can be used there according to such characteristics and so on, we are hostages of what the engineers have offered us, and now, if there will be wider opportunities for the use of drones, this will certainly free our hands, regarding range, for example, accuracy there and... so on, so here is the war of engineering rooms, which is carried out 24 hours a day, it's definitely a straight race, there will be this year, whoever wins it will have a significant advantage on

the battlefield. very briefly, if possible, regarding the promised million drones in the 24th year, the first quarter is already in ukraine, and well... if you divide, relatively speaking, at least into some equal parts, you can say that there is a part of those drones that were promised, are they not there, or are volunteers delivering them again, that is, how with this is the situation, if it is not a military secret, i will tell you very briefly, it is not a military secret, there will be a million drones according to my feelings, but this does not mean anything, who said that a million drones is a lot, if the enemy, for example, will use 5 million drones, so... i would, for example, urge probably everyone not to get attached to this number, i would urge the government to contract if there is such an opportunity, and such an opportunity exists, for our manufacturers to produce 2-3 million, if these drones have proven their effectiveness on the battlefield,

therefore, there will be a million drones, but this does not mean anything, and besides, i would also pay attention to, well, let's say this, including the quality of these drones, because... it's a million, but if we get a low-quality product, a product that is not used, is not needed, well, it can just be done in the trash, such a problem among, let's say , kind. attack uavs, it also exists, all the guys are aware that there are drones that are more expensive, but they fly and you can get results with them, and there are drones that are just technological junk, with there is little that can be done with them, and therefore we very much hope and expect from our command high-quality technological solutions, because in them lies the very success of operations when they are carried out. mr. yehor, april 11 verkhovna rada of ukraine. the law on making changes to the procedure of mobilization in ukraine, it is called the mobilization law, although the law

on mobilization has been around for a long time, it is simply an introduction to certain mobilization procedures, you are a person who voluntarily joined the armed forces of ukraine, you are a volunteer, you came to the military service, then a paramedic, then now you are driving a group that is operators of unmanned aerial vehicles, and actually, i am interested in you... your opinion about the content of this law, which can give the armed forces of ukraine a greater flow of mobilized people, and how qualitative these changes are, how much they can significantly affect mobilization, i'll tell you this, probably a completely unpopular thing, but if it's such a quality and volume. there will be reinforcements in the armed forces, we are facing a very bad situation, we are facing a disaster, and we have to

fight throughout the country, we, as soldiers, are very excited for the mobilization, because it is our replenishment, because there are a lot of divisions that have simply run out, and you can manufacture drones as much as you want, as much as you want from western partners of equipment, well , there is simply no one who will ride on this equipment. and drones are also launched by people, qualified people, and there will be no one to launch them if things continue like this. the authorities must be told honestly and clearly that different technologies can be invented, but one way or another we will come to the fact that everyone will have to fight. we rode these volunteers for a long time, motivated guys, but believe me, they... and it ends physically, many of whom are no longer with us, or they are, but injured a huge

number of contusions, various other injuries, and here they are knocked out, and they still run out of energy, so that it is the third year to fight with such intensity, it is also not , well, not easy, and here, and it can be compared to just this war, forgive me for such a comparison, but with a football team that has a huge bench... and which does not have some red cards and no one to change at all, and that's it we are in such a situation that there are simply no people, and we need to urgently, necessarily change something, and if we do not change this approach, well, believe me, after a certain time, i think that it will be conditionally there for six months, it will be very, very bad , we all talk about victory, but let's still sometimes not indulge in propaganda, sometimes talk about... opportunities and defeats, what we need to do, or what

not to do, so that this defeat does not happen, because , well, the possibility is also, also just there, so that everyone realizes it, mr. yehor, there is one more an important, important element of this law or draft law, which made changes to mobilization, was demobilization, the spokesman of the ministry of defense of ukraine dmytro lazotkin says that in 8 months there will be a new law. why does it take 8 months to write such a law, you, as the person who wrote the law and who passed the laws, can you explain the logic, is this logic understood by those people who are at the front? i don't understand the logic, moreover, as you probably all well understand, the military never, even me, never dig around on the internet and to line up some, let's say, logical rea'. action, the signals are very bad, because when they tell the military that friends,

there will be mobilization, wait, we will soon adopt the rules of the game, and then they say that it is impossible, why are we even talking about this, it is a signal that they have been fooled, that's the main thing , a signal that they were fooled, why did they say then, the first moment, the second moment, we ukrainians still love freedom, we give our lives for it, and freedom is, as a rule, you... so ukrainians need to draw at least a hypothetical choice and to say: friends, through three, five, even 7 years, you will have a choice, an opportunity to undergo demobilization. believe me, when the guys hear something like that, it will be an additional motivation, it does not mean that they will all run to write there a statement of resignation, not at all, believe me, it is even an overestimated story that they have a normal salary, they already have a new profession, many ordinary soldiers have already become a company member, and sometimes even a combatant somewhere,

a huge number will remain in the armed forces, but people must be given a choice so that they do not feel themselves. or serfs, that alone they were forced into the army and there is no way back, they are waiting for rotation or vacations, while others there are mowing from the army, enjoying themselves in restaurants there and so on, this is actually very demotivating, and it is actually splitting the country, and the country, on the contrary, needs to be stitched together, so the issue of demobilization it is urgently necessary to decide to give a clear answer to all the boys, let it be, i say there 5-7 years, but... this question must be answered and the people's deputy of ukraine and sbu colonel roman kostenko, who believes that provided permanent rotations, most of the fighters would return to the front after demobilization. let's listen to what roman kostenko said. you know, i am all the more sure, talking to the soldiers, that if there was a term defined

there of 36 months, there yes there 48, and people, many people, maybe... it would go, but i am sure, well, i don't know, the percentage , according to my feeling, 70-80, after some time, it is a month or two, would return back, feeling that they rested, because they are motivated, they are patriotic people who would not be able to stay aside and watch how their country is fighting, that is why this is precisely the issue of this freedom that needs to be decided, that they, well , they are warriors, and no, not slaves, yes, well... this is the opinion of roman kostenko, i hope that those who are currently fighting in the armed forces of ukraine, are on the eastern and southern fronts, and in general in the ukrainian army agree with her. mr. yehor, i thank you for participating in the program, it was yehor firsu, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine. friends, we work live on the tv channel, as well as on our platforms in

subscribers and... and help develop roman tsimbalyuk's youtube channel. roman, let's start with this one of legitimacy, because this week parye adopted, adopted a resolution on the recognition of putin's illegitimacy. people's deputy oleksiy goncharenko, who was in strasbourg and followed this on the air of espresso, said that the adoption of a couple of resolutions on putin's illegitimacy is a decision that will allow this issue to be brought to the international stage. arena, let's listen briefly to honcharenko. this is the tool that ukrainian diplomacy has now received, and not only ukrainian, but also all our allies in order to clamp down on putin, in order to recognize it is illegitimate, so as not to allow him to maneuver diplomatically, foreign-politically, and how we

will use this tool and what we will achieve with it, well, it will show. only life, unfortunately, if there were such a body in the world, which would say that putin is illegitimate, putin has disappeared, well, there is no such body, it does not exist, but this decision, it gives us essential tools to further this issue putin's illegitimacy, not the inadmissibility, the inadmissibility of contacts with him, let's move on, roman, but how does this... decision affect and does it affect putin's position in the world and in europe in particular? well, it is clear that this is such a declarative thing, and it does not affect the course of the war in any way, and let's define. regardless of whether we consider the russian maniac to be legitimate or not, the number of missiles they launch towards us, it will not change from this, and this is an important point, then there is diplomatic

work, diplomatic activity and so on, there is, let's say so , places with which you can work, well, if we talk about the legitimacy of the russian president, then in general... this topic should be pumped here, why? because a little more time will pass, it is clear that due to the war, we will not have elections on time, and they will raise the topic of zelenskyi's illegitimacy, this is also an aspect that, regardless of how citizens feel about the president, the current president, we understand that while the war is on, it is quite problematic to organize a vote, although i have heard different opinions about this ... so when they will give us something, if, or when we hear something from pain about this matter, then we just need to record that

in general, putin has been an impostor since 2008, they have two terms written down, then they started playing the game in a row, well, it’s a fornication, then they rewrote the constitution, and so on and so forth, well, that is, he is illegitimate, well, ah, a note to the russians, then they will be told that we didn't send you, putin sent you, you are putin's soldier, not a russian soldier. well, this is quite an interesting question, what you say that he constantly rewrote russian legislation, but on top of that , he is elected in a temporary occupied regions of the ukrainian state, and it is clear that this is the case. the darkness, the purity of that, even pseudo-elections, it is also called into question, because it turns out that the citizens of ukraine voted for putin, and

here for any conscious person, whether in europe or in the world in general, well, how how can the citizens of another state elect a president, even if these presidential elections are rigged, but here it is simply written in white threads, whether or not. white threads can be seen that it is all sewn together, and all this legitimacy, which the so-called legitimacy will be demonstrated on may 7 in the kremlin, it can in principle be called into question, whether ukrainian diplomacy needs to torpedo our partners more about this legitimacy, because you correctly said that lavrov already said half a month ago that we have ... questions about zelenskyi's legitimacy, but maybe by may 20-20th we won't have such questions anymore, what he hinted at, i don't know, but he

constantly talks about the illegitimacy of zelenskyi, and if they are already asking questions about legitimacy zelenskyi, don't we need to more actively promote and advance this thesis that he is illegitimate. i think everyone should practice. with its work, well, precisely the diplomatic corps that works with the word, well, why not, this is one of the aspects of our foreign policy, i would just like to draw attention to what, well, first of all, the elections on ukrainian territory, they have been holding since 2014 year to the territory of the occupied crimea, already from that moment here we question all these issues with the legitimacy of putin, i think, in fact, and yes, i agree that diplomats are dealing with the very question... is the tsar real and the tsar not real, we already found that out, i think we need to think more about what kind of gift we

will give vladimir manyak putin for the inauguration, it is very interesting that the whole russian propaganda team, they believe that we will destroy the crimean bridge by may 7, i do not know about the plans of our military command. but it seems to me that it would be such a worthy gift, in a brotherly way, if, if there was already such an attempt on putin's birthday, remember, october 7, and there was already such an attempt a blow, not far because it was announced quite quickly, so look, on the background of the fact that the legitimacy, illegitimacy of president putin is being discussed, what to do with him, to hit russia or not to hit? and as a result, we see time magazine with the cover of navalny's widow yulia navalny and the first interview after the death

of her husband to a journalist. shuster, the same simon shuster who wrote the book about zelensky, and here navalny says that it is very bad that ukrainians do not want to cooperate with russians who oppose the war, that she says, good russians is a very bad phrase, i think they just don't want to look for these anti-war russians, but such russians do exist, it's just hard to expect them to come out, because as i said. said, not all people are heroes, they are ready to engage in various types of struggle, it is important to support these people, i believe that it is a mistake of the ukrainian government to ignore them, but here navalny acts, as if as a leader or one of the leaders of the opposition, but is there even in russia's opposition, well, my opinion is that there are such public figures, and... the opposition is those people

who can come to power, and from this point of view there is no position in russia, even these puppet parties like the ldpr, they are not a position either, they are just part of the russian government, so the so-called people who are there because of smart voting or because of they still think some nonsense about the fact that they will be elected there one day, well, it's just really delusional. i am looking at this statement by yulia navalny, here she is saying that the ukrainian government is wrong about something, and that they are ready to cooperate, i understand whether they are ready, let's understand, if you are ready for something, then offer it, if you want some kind of support from

ukraine, then too... talk about it, specific things, and we, in general, in terms of temperament and before the great war were a little different from them, and now even more so, here are the general phrases, alas with flashlights during the day or at night, and they are something, that is, i perfectly understand that there is a dictatorship and again , here are her statements about the fact that not everyone can get out on the street. i'm sorry, she's so stupid that she doesn't understand that it's time for rallies and went out into the street, he left a long time ago, he is gone, her husband has already been killed, and she remembers a certain street there, i just want to remind you that once upon a time a whole party structure was created in the fbk, in its representative offices, centers, that is, there were real people, so let's decide, what do you want, if you

want to... fight for power, then in fact, the honest answer is very simple: all these calls, we are against the war, let's stop shooting, that's all, that's all nonsense, and if they want to gain power in russia, then they have to say it a little differently, not to lay down their arms, to call in russian soldiers, but to use its weapons, to turn them against the russians... we have already found out the illegitimate authorities of the russian illegitimate authorities and acted accordingly. i want to emphasize that as far as i know, and i understand this, all ukrainian special services are looking for russians who are ready to cooperate with us in some way, and the language is not always worth it, that you have to search there and risk your life to do something, but what else? to do something, the time is running out, it has long passed. therefore, if we

are wrong in something, then yulia navalnya is wrong it must be said that i declared myself the leader of the russian opposition, well, maybe i am wrong, i say that she is nobody, but they are told to prove to us that there is some benefit from them, and we will help them, here we have a unit of the rdk, if they decide, or when they decide to go to moscow, we will help them, charge all bc. we will give out, charge , refuel tanks, or mercedes, whatever they will drive, depending on the situation, you can do the same, but you know, this kind of insult to ukraine, that we did not appreciate something from their point of view, but excuse these underdogs, they don't even imagine
