on the south front by qr code which you see now, well, during this hour we will talk with military experts and other experts who will connect to our broadcast about crimea and talk about the latest events that happened during this week on the territory of the temporarily occupied peninsula and... even now we are ready to introduce our guest, and this is mr. oleksandr, oleksandr kovalenko, military-political columnist of the information resistance group, mr. oleksandr, congratulations, congratulations silya mariko. good afternoon, mr. oleksandr, how did you remember this week, what did the occupiers remember this week on the temporarily occupied peninsula, what operational news do we already have? well, in principle, of course, this destruction of a fourth-rank ship, a speed ship, which

took place this week, is quite a successful destruction of another combat unit. which reminds the russians that there is no peaceful place for them there, i.e. it is a dangerous place for them, and besides everything else, it should be noted that the russians, they have recently been trying to pay more attention to strengthening the defense of the kerch bridge, for creation of such conditions for its protection, both by air and sea boundaries. but they do not succeed, and therefore every time we see either the effective action of our naval drones, or the air component and the complete inaction and ineffectiveness of their air defense. this is exactly what we can pay attention to, i think, in the following weeks we will see the appropriate development of the objects of the corresponding

functionality. mr. oleksandr, i think i read that this time innovations were applied. our defense forces, and as if on a missile was installed on the drone, which can shoot down air targets, or is it that simple, well, a scarecrow so far for the occupiers, and in reality this did not happen, or was something like that observed? i don't think it's just a scarecrow because it's an experimental element, ah, a while ago we saw flamethrower systems being installed on our naval drones as well. on bumblebees and on the one hand at long distances they are ineffective, they have a low point, rather low such accuracy, but if we are talking about practice during landing before landing on the coast, this can be the effect of such an intimidation, such a fire effect, if we are talking about close

proximity to a large object, such as a large amphibious ship or an e... regatta or a corvet, also these systems can be effective at a distance of less than 500 m, and therefore, in principle, the meaning of this was, if we are talking about the use of an appropriate means of destruction, a missile means of destruction, namely the destruction of air targets, this can also be effective in the long run, if the algorithm is worked out, it is very important here tests, i.e. what was used... it is possible in such a complex, yes, theoretically quite, but there must be tests in order to emphasize all the pluses, all the minuses, and to see what the coefficient of useful action is, and after that really every such a naval drone, if it will be an effective concept, it can

use these means of destruction not only to inflict some blows there. no, no, not so much striking as defending, because it's the air component, like a helicopter strike the mi-28, as an option, the mi-8, the k-52, is the main element that the russians use to intercept our naval drones, they try to hide them precisely with helicopters, attack helicopters, the destruction of the attack helicopter, after it is destroyed an attack helicopter, there is also the destruction of some on... water object, there, for example, the same corvette or missile boat, well , this is a bonus in general, full house, let's call it that, so that our defense forces will be able to implement this experiment will no longer exist an experiment, but the usual practice of application, however you ask the question, i

just have a lot of questions for you, but i read in the news that... the kerch bridge seems to be no longer used by the occupiers for the transportation of military equipment, that they, well, they are serious already do they think that it is very vulnerable, or did they start using the land route that they were building, but what happens now, there is no point in hitting the kerch bridge, or is it still our desired target? well, i'll say yes, well, let's get someone tomorrow... on khreschatyk will build a house, here on khreschatyk, right on the car part, to block the passage, some kind of high-rise building. on 16 floors, well, it will be a legal building, an illegal building, it is an illegal building, indeed, so is the kerch bridge, it is an illegal

building and one way or another it must be destroyed, this is the first point, precisely the fact, legality, its absence, it is absent, and the second point is very important, i don't know where all these osind groups came from, they concluded that... that the kerch bridge is not used for transportation of military cargo, equipment, ammunition, and everything else. there is such a concept as material and technical support. what is material and technical support? this is a complex of material means used to support the troops. it can be starting from mechanized components, tanks, bbm, artillery, ammunition, of course, starting from. from the 152-caliber projectile and powder charge and ending with the banal cartridge for small arms of various calibers,

elementary vodka and stew, if at all are being transported, then this is already the case, if we perceive vodka as a civilian cargo, then this does not mean that it is a civilian cargo, in the same way, if we see that a passenger car is arriving there and so on, this does not mean that there exactly... and not personnel for rotation and so on. fuel and lubricants, which are transported across the kerch bridge, in large quantities by tankers. this is not for the purpose of delivering milk to consumers in trucks next month throughout the crimea. no, it's not for milk, it's fuel and lubricants for to refuel russian tanks and armored fighting vehicles. ago. an important logistical artery, and it remains so, and one more very interesting point, for some reason all these osin groups,

they use, as proof of their vision of the situation, satellite images, from a long distance, not detailed, but for some reason they do not turn to the crimean monitoring groups , which operate specifically in the crimea and which constantly record how to... or directly through the kerch bridge itself , fuel and bridging materials are transported not only there, namely equipment, howitzers, towed howitzers, equipment, bmp, armored combat vehicles, tanks, te 62, for example, and so on, for some reason they do not record this and do not show it in their reports, it seems that they are trying to somehow distort the reality that is happening now with the supply. of technical support to the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula, which was, and remains, the main logistical and transit

hub for the provision of the russian southern occupation group of troops. well, this is more, you know, mr. oleksandr, it looks like a propagandistic throw-in, and what if to talk about other ways, logistical ways of the russian occupiers, as far as i know, they still... have not diversified this artery through rostov-nadanu, mariupol, berdyansk and so on, yes, it is not fully working yet, it is true, there there is no full possibility of ensuring the volumes of supply that they would try to fully compensate in the event that the kershchen bridge is inoperable, and therefore, yes, the kershchen bridge continues to be the main logistical artery. through which the main material and technical loads pass provision of the russian occupation troops, everything else already on the mainland, this is as

an addition, as a kind of plus, which can more or less satisfy the needs of this large amount of forces and means. i will remind you that only in the south the russians have almost 200,000 personnel, 200 thousand russians. troops in the kherson, zaporizhzhia, and partly donetsk regions, as well as the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula, and all this mass, as well as all the iron that has been added to them, must be provided with something 24:7, and what are we waiting for then, what conditions are the armed forces of ukraine waiting for today to strike the kerch bridge, unfortunately, the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula. in terms of defense from the air, the anti-aircraft component, it is the second most powerful after the moscow region, besides everything else,

the kevchen bridge itself is protected not only. the territory of crimea in the air component, as well as from the territory of the mainland of the russian federation, therefore it has a double coverage of the air defense system. in order to have an effective influence from the air, it is necessary do not command this component. as for the maritime borders, there are constant patrols, by the way, these are these fourth-rank ships, that is, high-speed patrol boats, which ... were recently destroyed, and they are constantly patrolling the kerpchen bridge to counter any threat of naval drones, they created barrages, they sunk several boats to complicate the process of reaching the kerch bridge with our surface drones, and also, if it were not pouring, but they are also from the side of the sea of ​​azov, from this very part

they also... carry out patrols, that is , the kerch bridge, it is guarded quite seriously now, and it is necessary to create the appropriate conditions so that the strike is as effective as possible, because the strike must be one, and this strike must completely destroy the kerch bridge so that it cannot be both the road and railway parts will be restored not just there for a week or a month, a year and this... will have an impact, a catastrophic impact on the capabilities of the russian occupation group in the south, this week one cannot help but remember this festival pobedobesia, which took place in russia, and of course in the occupied territory they also tried to bring their slightly sectarian vibe to it, we know that there were no such large-scale military parades, but there were various car races with...

flags, free porridge, portraits, the immortal regiment, and various other such propaganda actions, which the russians are using to replace common sense in the inhabitants of the occupied territories, why do people uncritically perceive all this propaganda, why do they still, even after the 14th year and after year... they do not understand that in fact russia is what fascist, nazi germany was in the same 41st year, but perceive it as a continuation of, i don't know, the forces of good, yes, and not the forces of evil. well, let's say this, in any region, in any region, in any city, there is a category of people who

, in the third year of the full-scale invasion of ukraine, believe that russia has nothing to do here , all this was provoked by the west, all this is nato, all this was done by biden, but putin, he is some kind of angel who is trying to somehow correct this situation and save ukrainians from absorption by geyropa. they are, yes indeed they are. these are people who have a completely different worldview, a destructive worldview, i would even say so, degrading, the degradation of a person's worldview, and it does not evolve, it degrades, and they are everywhere, especially in those regions where there was quite a serious impact for years, and even decades of pro-russian influence. political

forces, narratives and so on and so on, unfortunately, we can record this not only on the territory of the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula , it is recorded constantly even throughout the territory of ukraine, even in those regions, which it would seem, they are maximally pro-ukrainian, this is western ukraine, this is central ukraine, there are quite a lot of people who continue, well , in kyiv we also saw provocations that were different, specifically on may 9 from the side. local crazies, but they are not just local crazies, they are people who know what they are doing, they get paid for it, why haven't they been arrested, even though they are in their 70s, even though they are not related before world war ii, they put on this uniform of that time and somehow try to play the role of this particular liberator.
