of ukraine. the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, colonel-general oleksandr syrsky , congratulated the military and thanked them for their steadfastness and loyalty to the oath. well, due to a difficult situation, oleksandr syrskyi has been in the east for the last two days. he says that the russians are now trying to put pressure on the pokrovsky and kurakhiv directions in order to reach kurakhiv and pokrovsk. the situation is not easy, we will now talk about military topics together with valery ryabikh, military expert, director of development of the information consulting company defense express. mr. valery, christ is risen. glory to ukraine. glory. well, now we are quoting from syriac. the enemy is trying to break through the defense of our troops and get to kurakhovo and pokrovsk. i quote, now the direct speech of syrskyi. our task in these conditions is to hold the occupied lines and fire positions. artillery, attack uavs and all means to inflict maximum losses on the enemy, exhaust him, thereby disrupting enemy plans and

gaining time for formation and preparation our reserves. the situation at the front, as far as you think, will be enough for the enemy of the so-called offensive impulse. well, it should be noted that the enemy took a considerable risk, continuing active offensive operations, for a long time since... since the beginning of october, and it should be recalled that this is precisely the main phase of the offensive operation of the russian troops that began exactly when the main efforts were diverted to avdiivka, and then the enemy threw his most ready reserves there, and as a result of this avdiivka the enemy of the operation was the ukrainian defense forces, well, the full-time army corps. both in the number of personnel and in the number of equipment. now we see that

using these political efforts to achieve some results by a certain date there or by the same re -enthronement of putin or by other sacred dates, they are also trying to develop success and throw more and more reserves. trying to achieve at least certain successes and in certain areas they succeed, of course, that in these conditions the enemy's impulse is similar, he well, it is also reflected not only in the state of the state of the ukrainian troops, but also this kind of unlimited throwing of reserves and equipment, it leads to the fact that, in recent weeks, the indicators of the destruction

of the russian army have increased significantly, but of course it is not, let's put it this way , does not remove from the agenda the complexity of the situation at the front, and in these conditions, too, the ukrainian side is forced, has to find reserves and correct solutions in order for these... efforts of the enemy to fulfill their immediate task, which is to capture of the entire territory of the donetsk region and creating conditions for further advancement, and this task is now for the ukrainian troops, namely preventing the enemy from solving the task, well, the most basic one, especially against the background of such a transitional period, when the vanguard unit comes to... help and more approach, only on the approach, the main part of the help and

the arrival of more effective means on the battlefield, which can be western aviation and other means promised by the enemy, in that promised by our partners, including and those that no longer have restrictions on launching strikes on the enemy's territory, and that's it... this period determines both the complexity of the situation and the importance of keeping the enemy from realizing his plan. mr. valery, look. today our intelligence reported that our special services destroyed an enemy speedboat in crimea, this operation was carried out thanks to magura v5 naval drones, and there is actually some information on the defense ua website that this special operation is not only about a sunken boat, and about combined

blow, and from this place, as they say, you can tell in more detail, eh? well, it should be noted here that this is a journalistic version, and it is prompted by the analysis of those videos that were made public by the main intelligence agency, we see that in the video there is an unmanned boat that is similar to the magura v5, and it is maneuvering, eh -er, and we can see that there is, in addition to er... the fact that the very end of it hits the enemy's impenetrable boat, there is also an alleged introduction of enemy fire on our boat, but there er, our analysts analyzed that the fall of some large parts may also resemble the fall of anti-aircraft

missiles from the panzer complex, and this may already indicate that in the course of this operation , in addition to naval unmanned systems, unmanned aviation systems could also be involved, and this already indicates the fact that, for similar operations , a similar grouping of means can be formed to achieve certain goals, so the essence of the matter is what we see. confirmation of damage to a small boat, this is not yet final information, and here i understand why the intelligence does not say now, i will correct you here, the intelligence already specified that the russian high-speed patrol boat of project 12150 mongoose was destroyed, boats of this class are used by the enemy fleet and special services as

multi-purpose high-speed vessels for patrolling water areas, combating saboteurs, as well as search and rescue operations. mongoose. has been produced since 2000, the boat is up to 20 m long and up to 5 m wide, the maximum speed is up to 50 knots, it is already known, well, this is about the boat, so it is known, but the fact that in the course of this combined operation they also used air drones, this may also indicate that other targets, besides this one, could have been hit, so i do not rule out that in the near future... in the future, after checking and receiving clarifying information , some more clarifying information about destruction of other objects besides this boat. got it? mr. valery, we would like to ask you about the so-called modified fabs 1500. we received information from kharkiv,

from the kharkiv police, that they dropped a modified fap 1500 in the kupinsky district. so what are these modified fabs, how serious is it and in what approximate number can the enemy launch them? here it should also be noted that this is a rather significant weapon and, although this is the first use of such a weapon against opponents in the kharkiv region, we previously saw its use back in march in the krasnohorika region, and it is... quite powerful, such a weapon is destructive and such that can cause a lot of damage, and this is determined by the fact that the main part of this bomb, it contains 675 kg of explosives, so seven centners explodes and with the total weight of these

of the set together with the umpk, is almost 1700 kg there, and this bomb was developed on the basis of a soviet bomb that was put into service in the 50s, this is the fab 1500 m54, and after the enemy's attempt to install such wings, the bomb is smaller. 250-caliber and half-ton bombs, they scaled this project with the umpk and made an attempt to install it on these bombs, and it should be noted that they are now producing quite large quantities of such kits, and

they have trypufat 1500 bombs ba in large quantities both in warehouses and recently they resumed the production of similar bombs at their enterprises, and here it should be noted that this winged bomb is from... it is launched from afar, for this, aircraft of the su 304 type are used, and such an aircraft can carry up to two such bombs, but as a rule , one is used for striking, and the main means of countering such means of the enemy is to increase our ability to strike. it is the planes that launch these bombs, because fighting the bombs themselves is an extremely difficult, difficult task, another one of

ways, this is the destruction of the enemy's aviation equipment and warehouses with similar bombs on the enemy's territory, and just then a similar case opens with the arrival of western aviation. western-style aircraft in the form of the f-16 and with ukraine obtaining permission to use weapons on the territory of the russian federation. and from what approximate distance does the enemy launch the otti ot faba 1500, is it 40-50 km or further? the enemy claims that they are launched somewhere from a distance of 80-70 km, and according to some sources and... and this suggests that it is precisely from this distance that enemy planes do not achievable for the means that we currently have, and

it is precisely with the acquisition of western aviation that we will be able to obtain similar tools, well, and accordingly combining with shock means, which can be the same, for example, storm shadow, which can be well there in the in connection with obtaining consent from britain to... apply to the bases of such aircraft and according to the stockpiles of such bombs, this could contribute to the solution of this problem. thank you, mr. valery, valery ryabykh, military expert, director of information and consulting company development defense express, was in touch with us. we would like to remind you that xi jinping is currently visiting the chinese leader in europe, in particular france, and the head of the european commission in... announced the brief results of the meeting with the president of china and french president emmanuel macron in paris, where they discussed the russian-ukrainian war . fondelein
