the espresso tv channel at 8:30 on the clocks, we remind you about our collection, a new collection for the necessities of the kholodny yar brigade, you can see the qr code on the screens, friends, one collection has already been closed, we believe and have hope, that the second one will also be closed very quickly thanks to you and thanks to your donations, and when the american institute for the study of war writes that the heat affects the intensity of battles in... ukraine, well, in theory yes, in practice, well, for example, in this direction, like pokrovsky, it’s not at all, because we’re looking at the number of skirmishes, i’m not talking about the number of shellings, so we will now ask our guest, the chief sergeant of the unmanned systems battalion of the 47th separate mechanized brigade, rostam callsign legion, glory to ukraine, heroes, glory as in it looks like to you, that's what in theory, like there... which stops the war, it's not true, we

look at the statistics, how it looks from above, how you see this section of the front now, well, i'll tell you this, that the weather conditions in general almost do not affect the course of hostilities, that is , the enemy tries to advance and sometimes succeeds, but with huge losses, so he does it, regardless of how strong the wind and rain are. security at all does not apply to weather conditions, as the enemy is now, what tactics he uses, from our defenders from different areas, we we can see that there are two main ones, the first is a high-speed breakthrough on anything, at least on chinese tanks, at least on motorcycles, at least riding on armor, but somehow get somewhere, climb into a hole and wait for the next ones, then after accumulating already try to capture the territory , one tactic, well, the second is strong. assaults in order to discover

our positions, and then cover them with artillery and kabs, on yours, well, these are the two main ones, maybe you have some other, more cunning enemy, how do they fight in your direction? i think that both of these options are combined in our direction, the only thing is that, for example, in the month of may , they massively tried to enter with armored vehicles, then our unit in the month of may ... in our narrow direction destroyed more than 60 units of armored vehicles , and after that there are almost no armored vehicles, that is, it could be a week before five units, well, it’s not about anything in our direction, and it has been observed for the last month and a half that the armored vehicles they have either ran out, or they are transferring it to another direction, and they began to use more meat storms, but the last two days, if we take it, even meaty. the raids

have stopped a bit and only occasionally we get some small groups out there that try to get in but they usually break up, what do you think is the reason for this? well, they have it periodically, but we have been standing in this direction for almost a year, and they have it constantly in waves, it seems that their brigade has been replenished, or even a couple of brigades standing opposite us, we break them, they need some time to recovery during this period is small lull, for a couple of days there to a week, they renew their units with equipment and personnel and start again in a circle, because these losses are actually huge for them, but they are nothing to them, because they have such a large supply of equipment and personnel , that ah, well, for them, this is the norm. ugh. tell me, please, what is the situation with our and the enemy's artillery now. well, in the last peri period

there, for about a month, we can really see that the amount of ammunition has increased. artillery began to work more actively, but they have the same situation in terms of the amount of artillery and cabs used, they have a lot of reserves, so they can afford to work constantly. we have seen several videos in your direction, but just now they even showed a little how our ukrainian armored vehicles, in principle, help on the ground, and you come from the air to clear landings and fight to clear them. territory, in particular about equipment, about bradleys, we saw certain shots, all the military praise them, in this case , the biggest threat to this equipment is probably russian drones, as far as we have

the possibility of working with equipment, well, with the same bradleys on the ground, or is the concentration of fpv russian drones so high in your direction? that we also take care of technology, well, it all depends on, again, on the periods, because here there is a war on the advance of technology, no matter what anyone wants to say, but the russians are one step ahead in the application of new frequencies, algorithms for the operation of drones, and so on , and we have to adapt to them. constantly change the frequencies on the ribs, change their application tactics, because they have more in this resources, more opportunities, but regarding the use of bradley, it is probably one of the most effective armored vehicles,

tracked, which are in general in the armed forces of ukraine, the machine can be blown up several times in a row by an anti-tank mine, the crew is either lightly injured or even not... it doesn’t happen about the fpv, there were cases where an enemy fpv hit a bradley from the first time, i don’t remember, there were massed up to five hits in a row, which then led to the bradley being disabled, but not destroyed, there were such cases . well, actually, you and i are some of them seeing the footage is interesting just to find out, because there were footage and we were told that it was the clearing of the enemy. landings with the support of bradley, but that these are the fighters of the squall, landed on this landing, that is, this is the squall, these are those who were still convicted until recently, i understand correctly, this is that unit, er, yes, we are talking about this unit, i am not personally familiar with them, but

i have heard only positive things about them from my brothers, which was actually unexpected even for me, because the first thoughts, when they tell you there, what they will fight for on your side, there you think of a person there in some world, in fact these people are completely different, maybe the first waves, convicts who came to the army, they were the best chosen from well of those who could be chosen, and these people are really motivated , and they have a great thirst for victory, well, that is... this is impressive and they told, by the way, in the 47th ombr about the fact that each of the prisoners went through an interview and training, but we just showed these shots , those that mr. rostam tells us about, just tell us how much

we have a perspective, at least for this summer campaign, to equalize in terms of defense, because the most important thing for us, unlike the enemy, is the preservation of lives. that's why we need everyone, as they say, from the small and entrenched to the powerful, there is a chance that we will at least break even, do you feel that something is coming? it is felt, but it does more damage not to the enemy, but to us. reb is a separate topic in general, because let's put it this way, if you take my unit now, then we have periods that during one week we lose only thanks to our friendly means of radio-electronic warfare for approximately uah 7 million of fpv drones and mavics. and then they prevent you from flying, they actually don't shoot down the russians as much as they plant ours, that's right, this

is due to the fact that the russians are always one step ahead, they use new frequencies for which our means do not have for some time, but they have them on the frequencies that we still use, and when the team comes to turn on the rebs, they simply turn them on and jam us all in a row, that is, they essentially interfere... interfere with countering the russian offensive, i would our rebs would turn around primarily to cover logistics, because lately the enemy has been working very actively on our logistics, and logistics is not covered at all from the means of the rebs, but the front edge is completely full of rebs and prevents us from working, and in order to protect the infantry, and how is it grow up, that is, you are, you are probably the third of our defenders, who is telling us exactly... about this problem, so they know the problem, is it necessary to move

vertically to the general staff and go back and down again, is it somehow possible decide sooner? i do not know, to whom to move, we don't know where, where to knock, which door, but my opinion is that in order to protect the infantry on the front edge from the fpv means of the enemy, they just need to give them pom pump weapons, shotguns, even just ordinary ones . er rifles for hunting, because they are effective at a distance of about 50-60 m, er, they can shoot down any drones, er, and there is already a drum, what frequencies the enemy uses, and this is really very effective way, because if we are talking about e effective fight against our fpv already at the front edge, when we broke through our enemies, then the most we lose drones is precisely because of shooting down, because the enemy... this is exactly how the enemy works , in almost every assault group there is

a person with some kind of pump-action rifle or a shotgun, which very effectively shoots down even an airborne drone, and this is much better than having a bunch of rebbes on those frequencies that do not help, but hinder us, so i wanted to ask you briefly about the trench rebbes, there was a time when they were very actively collected there by volunteers to send them? to the front, but do they really help? fight drones and do not prevent our drone operators and uav operators from working towards the enemy? get in the way a lot, uh, and there's also the point that most rebu manufacturers promise to always protect the infantry that uses them, protection from the whole world, in reality it doesn't work that way because... it seems that for them it is fundamentally important to earn money and without thinking about

the lives of fighters, they make rebs on those frequencies that have long been out of date, that is , now on the market of rebs to buy a reb that will help to really protect, well, it can be one one or two suppliers close this issue, the rest sell things that interfere with us, or do not interfere at all with anyone, but i hope that you will be heard, mr. rustam. rustam, callsign legion, chief sergeant of the unmanned systems battalion of the 47th separate mechanized brigade, thank you for your service and thank you for being with the espresso viewers. then there will be a short pause on the espresso broadcast, and we will come back and talk about the most important things. there are discounts representing the only discounts on dolosen stronggel, 10% in pharmacies plantain pa... and savings. attention, a profitable offer. order now smart light bulb at a special

then who is china, my heart hurts, all this is in the information marathon with mykola veresnem. saturday 17:10, sunday 18:15 at espresso. good morning to everyone who joined us just now, and we continue the broadcast on the espresso tv channel, roman chaiko, ulyana panasiuk with you today. and we are joined by serhiy sgurets, director of the information and consulting company defense express. glory to ukraine, mr. serhiy. glory, good morning, i congratulate you, i congratulate our calves. but the news is that at night the defense forces destroyed the russian s-300 launchers. in the occupied donetsk region, where it is not specified, the commander-in-chief reported this armed forces oleksandr syrskyi. well, since we don't know exactly where it is, let's hope that somewhere in the direction where it is definitely worth doing, how many in general do the russians have, well, what capabilities of these s-300s do the russians have in the occupied

territories and near the territories where hostilities are underway, how many more will the ukrainians have to destroy, in fact. this is not an easy question, but for now i will return to the message of general silsky, because he really reported that the s-300 complex was destroyed in the donetsk region, later the councilor of mariupol said that this complex, ee near mongoose, and in fact it is said that these complexes are used by the enemy to... cover their objects and to deliver strikes in the air -to-ground version there for strikes on our objects. syrsky says that in a certain period of time, not specifying this time, about 20 complexes and about 15 relocation stations will be destroyed. in other words, this indicates that the ukrainian side is systematically

taking out the enemy's air defense systems in this way, and some are making assumptions. that this may also be due to the fact that, well, relatively speaking, to clear the sky for the future use of the f-16. in addition to the destruction of the complex near mamgush, on july 12 there was information that the s-300v complex was also destroyed at the airfield in mariupol, in particular , the reaction stations of this complex were damaged and destroyed, so in any case we can see what is happening . systematic planned work to weaken the russian air defense system, and, but in this case, to clear the sky for the f-16, there is some feeling that first than... f16 will appear, maybe something else will appear in our country, or french mirages with two thousand eyes, or maybe swedish gripens, they have already started talking openly about one and the other, that is, it means from this idea that

at first we will do everything under one roof as they say, the technical base of the f16, then we will think about other aircraft, this has already been rejected, that is, we will make such a multi-aircraft e-e air army, and what will appear first, well, in fact , i think that ... the main emphasis is in the fact that we have to create the prerequisites for the placement of f-16s and expand the f-16 fleet, this is just the main mainstream in the efforts of the air force and i hope the efforts of the command of the armed forces as a whole, because we know that there is a need for 128 f-16 aircraft, the first ones we get there by and at the beginning of the summer and by the end of the year in.. . and the gripen is postponed for a further period of strengthening of our air forces, but france has announced that it will continue to transfer

its aircraft in the amount of 20 machines, we do not know the time of arrival of such aircraft, but these 20 mirages are, in principle, from from the point of view of strategy, what is it about, what does it give us opportunity to do, and from the point of view of maintenance, it is less. harder than f16? all aircraft are difficult to maintain, and my point of view is that expanding the number of fighter types in the armed forces creates additional technological, professional and other problems, because as we saw with the example of tanks, when we have several almost all modern models of various manufacturers exist, but this imposes enormous problems on the maintenance of their use. questions, so the optimal way is this have one type of aircraft, in particular the same f16, which can really be, well, perform different

missions. as for mirages, one key advantage is that it can be used as a carrier of storm shadow missiles or french scalps, although they are the same type of missiles while the f-16 is not . applicable to the use of aircraft such missiles that are made by european countries, although the f16 can be equipped with american long-range missiles, if the us gives permission to use these missiles for strikes on russian facilities, especially in deep territory, and if we imagine now these future air duels, because there is information, and you have also already researched it, about the modernization of those russian mig 30. one with the fact that they can work with with air-to-air missiles at 200 km, that is, in this case, something that could

threaten our theoretically small f-16 air fleet. yes, it can be dangerous, the russian side has m-37, r-37m missiles on the mig-31 interceptors and s-35 fighters there. which have there range within 160 km plus, there are examples when these missiles were used against our aircraft at such a significant distance, and this means that the f-16s, which will be part of the air force, have to carry out such clear operations, partially conventionally speaking , such aerial ambushes, partly interacting clearly with the long-range reconnaissance aircraft that we will receive from sweden, it will be so difficult. combined effort to repel russian aircraft using, hopefully, the potential of the c8 version of the m-120 air-to-air missiles, which have the same

range of 160 km, but we don't know what the radars will be on the f-16, so in any case we know that the enemy has certain missiles that are long-range, and we have to create conditions where our f-16s will be able to carry out destruction operations. primarily there are certain russian targets, but not primarily air battles, i think that this is the last or extreme option in the list of tasks that our f-16s should solve on the battlefield. uhu, well, we'll see what tasks miga will be modernized. ah, mr. serhiu, we, we just threw up our hands with ulyana when we were talking to the sergeant of the 47th brigade, because this is not the first time we hear about the lack of efficiency. on the old frequencies, the rebbe saturated zero, our drone pilots launch their fpv drones and reconnaissance drones in style and die, as they say, and

fall under. by the action of the ukrainian national reb, without even flying over the territory controlled by the enemy, but at the same time there is not enough rep defense for logistics and the rear, and this is not the first time the military has told us, and we understand that the mine was sounded, but the army is the same, not like that works, oh this is not the first time that the problem has been voiced in various areas, how to solve it quickly, how it should be, who should react, well... in fact, we must realize that this problem is known to both the military leadership and the defense-industrial leadership, the fact that they have reached the media, it does not mean that this is the first push for change. now we have a situation when both the russian side and the ukrainian side are changing, linguistically speaking, the operating frequencies of the same fp drones, in particular, they are switching to low-frequency modes for controlling povidrons and reb means, which were previously set to other particles.

higher, are simply powerless and unnecessary in these conditions, and now on both sides there is such a chase over the technological race to create reb complexes at these frequencies, and froidrons will also walk on other frequencies, this is a constant pursuit of weapons, the question in in order for us to find an antidote to these changes, and now i repeat, such studies are being carried out on the ukrainian side, there are a number of weapons samples that are being tested and which will be... more adaptive, more fast, flexible in order to respond to changes in the actions of the enemy on the battlefield. mr. serhiy, we know for sure that the enemy is afraid of our grandmother yagu, because they definitely have no analogues, and now they are talking about the largest ukrainian fpv drone, queen of hornets. what is it and how unique is it? well, this is actually a continuation of just chasing drones in a different direction, when we

er... we see the emergence of models that can comprehensively solve tasks on the battlefield, we saw a video where wild hornets showed this new drone that can carry cargo there weighing up to 9.5 kg, it allows us to supply ammunition, any things there by our unit, this drone can also be used in the version. uterus, when there some drones can be attached to this drone, then reset and continue to carry out the mission independently, thus the depth of the impression of the enemy increases to 25 km, and it is quite telling that this video, which, by the way, we see from the dekishirny, it says about the fact that the long test phase has led to the fact that these drones are now already starting to be mass-produced, at least 100 of these drones are already in combat

with the enemy and... the pace of production is increasing, and this is really not a baba yaga, it is just such an fpv drone with the most advanced capabilities, in terms of load capacity and range of use. thank you, mr. serhiy, we will not ask any more questions, because there is little time left, we will not have time to discuss something again, so we will leave a few more topics for tomorrow, because tomorrow we will see you again at this same time there. thank you, serhiy sgurets, director of consulting. the defense express company was in touch with us, they talked about important things of a defense nature, including the fact that the defense forces destroyed the russian s-300 empty launchers in donetsk region and many other things, because we from kharkiv also heard that something stopped flying in the elis-300 in belohorod region too , this is against the anti-missile systems that have been reoriented to attack the civilian population specifically on ballistic ones,

our colleagues from radio liberty will soon take over the baton. but before that, a moment of silence, an all-ukrainian moment of silence for all those who died in the russian-ukrainian war. we will honor a minute of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
