the said person may be involved. mr. mykhailo, do you think that such a position and such a version have the right to exist, and whether the occupying state can really be directly or indirectly involved in the murder of irina farion, in fact, even from the point of view of not only eliminating the known. skill, and from the point of view of shaking up the situation inside our country, maybe i would like to this topic, well, not to comment much in view of my expert position, because, well, there is no need to harm the work of the security service of ukraine, that's all i can to say, let it work, ugh, mr. mykhailo, we are today, interest, that's fine, then

let's approach, for sure, a more global issue. the interest of the russian federation in destabilizing the internal situation in ukraine right now. so, if we proceed from this thesis, what can this mean, what position of the russian federation can this indicate? friends, the russian federation uses uses and will use any means to destabilize the situation inside ukraine, it was 100 years ago, 200 years, 300, 400 years ago, it has always been like this and it will be like this, as long as the russian federation is alive, it will shake the situation in ukraine and in the dependent countries, including in europe, they cannot do good, they do bad, and therefore for this they can do anything what a crime to remove any. people, therefore, friends, well,

what can be said here, if there is a leader of public opinion, iryna kharion, then one must understand that the russians can use this to shake up society, well, well, i have my own opinion, i would just did not use in this case, but we have understand that they can be, can use anyone, well in this case there was information that they wanted to eliminate. not only - farion, but also another, let's say, controversial blogger in relation to farion, that is, to polarize the situation in society, in any way, maybe they tried to do it this way, there will be no more comments, i just don't want to, bye things, if we continue to talk about shaking the situation like this. attempts to undermine ukraine

from the inside, there are also a number of events that indicate this, and in particular, the service also indicates this of the security service of ukraine, these are military cars set on fire, they happen almost everywhere, kyiv, odesa, acts of aggression against the military and what looks like property, let's hear what the security service of ukraine has to say about it, and then we'll move on to the discussion. working under the guise of a courier delivery, the figures on their own scooters went around the city, where they set the addresses of the parking lots of defense forces' cars, then they sent photos of potential targets to their russian curator for approval. after the command from the fsb, young men at night, they arrived at the parking lots of military vehicles, doused them with a flammable mixture and set them on fire. then the participants filmed the fire for reporting before the aggression.

in particular, mr. dykhtyarenko has just announced the arrest of six young men who, on the order of the russian federation and the russian special services, set fire to the cars of the defense forces in odesa, and, as i have already said, there are actually many such cases, and they are spreading in almost all regions, all in parts of our country, mr. mykhailo, but in the context of this, it fits into the same the concept, in fact, in the same wave of destabilization, at least attempts to destabilize the situation in ukraine by the russian special services, well, i don't think that this situation is complex in terms of destabilization, some department came up with it.

topic and began to work it out through one-time agents, that is, of course, that all these guys who did, performed were used, they received a certain amount there. salary most likely, but no one is interested in their fate, they did it once, they got 100 dollars there, for example, or maybe less, that's all, their fate no one is interested in principle at all, that is why these are disposable agents, such a class of agents that are used once as a condom, but they were used and thrown away, and the unit that sits and selects such initiators, well, it works quite well, well, professionally, i can say, if these... processes are going on all over the country, does this unit think about any global topic, well, hardly, well, it is not their competence, the global topic of destabilization, but somewhere in there, the higher headquarters can also use the fact that this is a successful special operation, put asterisks to yourself there on

epaulettes, thanks to these not very smart guys, this is how it happens, then i don't think it's such a global topic, it's just cheaper for them to destroy. car directly on the territory of ukraine, at the expense of one-time agents, why try to destroy it there on the front line. ugh. thank you, mr. mykhailo, for your opinion. mykhailo prytula, colonel of the reserve security service of ukraine, an expert in military counter-intelligence, was in touch with us about sensitive and interesting issues related to russian aggression against ukraine. we talked in this part of our program, and about we will continue to talk about them now with our next guest, but before that... i will remind you that today we are asking you if you consider the farion case solved? if so, please call us toll-free on 0800-211-381, if you think it is not, it is not solved, then 0800 211 382. again

, all calls are free, on the subject of the murder of irina farion, we will get back to you with andrii in the second part of our program, and we have the next guest, this is... valery romanenko, aviation expert, leading researcher of the state aviation museum. mr. valery, we are pleased to welcome you to the live broadcast of the espresso tv channel. yes, good evening. mr. valery, probably the first topic we will discuss with you is, of course, ukrainian attacks on russian, including military objects. drones, ukrainian. intelligence on july 27, well, until july 27, of course, massive, i would say massive strikes on the territory of the occupier of russia, are carried out practically every day, but what is interesting: on july 27

, an unprecedented strike took place, according to data again after all, even the main intelligence agency, ukrainian forces were impressed. strategic bomber tu-22, i will remind our viewers that these are the bombers from which the kh-22 missiles are launched, which are among the most deadly for our country, for our objects, both civilian and military infrastructure, and also on this day, and in particular on the previous days, we observed strikes on... rashist airfields, well, on july 27, in particular, there were strikes on engels, gilyaevo and diaghilev, sorry, and of course oil refineries factories, it is already said, it is not even discussed, what this shows, mr.

valery, that we are really moving to daily mass attacks and that ukrainian drones can now actually strike. targets over 1000 we can already see under 200 km, right? well, if we got to the airfield, and we got to the airfield, yes, then the distance is already 1,850 km, you know, like the jump at the olympics, yes, it has already been recorded, that’s all, it’s already a historical record, well, we’re waiting for following, and this already shows that in the european part... the russians have no places where they could reliably hide your aircraft. the only thing left for them is to move bombers to their second base of strategic aviation near the city of seryshevo in the amur region, yes, it's

hell, well, once officers were sent there for drunkenness, for morale and for others, so to speak , well, now for what they are doing, here is the best way for them... clarifying a small question, mr. valery, what do you think about the reindeer? now the russians will be forced to redeploy their tu-95 and tu-22, well , for now they are based there, we see, yes, but we, we remember the story with engels, so in 2023, more precisely at the beginning of the 23rd year, what do you think the russians will do now, redeployment again? no, there will be nothing special, in general, this is not a redeployment, it is just... a flight of planes for maintenance at their main base, they were on the deer, so they

will remain, because they did not hit any of the 95th there, uh, in general, they hit a deer, this is the base, there is the 40th mixed aviation regiment, where there is only one squadron of such tu-22m3 aircraft, just go there, this one of the bases of long-range russian strategic aviation, that's why... the tu-95ms bombers were temporarily transferred there from engels, well, maybe some of them will be transferred, as i said, to seryshevo in the amur region, and there so that there would be less, because in general for the russians, the number of missiles they launch, three or four bombers are enough for them, ugh, i think that these overturns, they are rather related to the need for technical... aircraft maintenance, well, civil aviation, it's called checks, because the plane there once for a certain period, once

every month, once every six months, once a year must undergo testing of all its on-board systems, since this cannot be done in alenia, they are transferred back to engels, because it is, so to speak, the base airfield of strategic aviation, all this equipment is there, there is no such thing in olenia, well, in fact, so as not to engage in... uh, i don’t know what to call it, it is certainly a success of the ukrainian military, the defeat of olenia, but at the same time we understand that they are relocating, another repair base, anywhere on the territory of the russian federation, when they need it will be shot back, they will reach the launch lines, do their dirty work and fly back, so, let's say, little can change in their attempts to attack our country from the air. probably, at the same time, mr. valery, i have a question for you, and this is the success

of our army in alenia, whether it can in some way, well, again put the discussion with our partners on pause about the need for us to receive goods and sanctions for the use of very long-range weapons in the territory of the russian federation, deep in their rear. unlikely. unlikely, because you understand, this should be a joint decision of all nato members, and the united states plays the main violin here, and in general, i would not call this weapon too long-range, it is 300 km, otaknus is the maximum distance, well, maybe there are separate options, not the export options of scalp and stormshadow, they may have a longer range there, more than 300 km, yes, but this is a weapon that will allow us to only... still suppress the activity of russian aviation at the front airfields located, well, at that range, yes,

there, well maybe i don't remember kurtsk the distance to morozovsk is two regiments where the carrier carriers are based, yes, and a little bit in the kuban, it would be possible to land attack aircraft there so that they would not fly especially there, well , in general, western weapons are not so long-range, but we actually need to improve our drones , what pleased me is that our scouts say that they hit a tu-22m3 bomber, well, if this is true, if this is true, then it means that the drones have guidance equipment, a guidance system, that is, the drone is tracking the goal, yes, and he accepts it himself decision when it is hit, because he no longer has contact with the operator at such a distance, if this is so, then this is... a significant step, although it significantly increases the cost of the drone, but

in general, western weapons, well, i do not expect f16 will arrive, well, i don’t want to give my head to be cut off, yes, but i’m 99% sure that they will only receive air-to-air weapons, that is, they won’t be able to work on ground targets at all, well, except with missiles, anti-radar missiles, yes, this question is still hanging, that's how it will be... radical changes in the political leadership are needed here. mr. valery, you said that we have certain successes in the finalization of drones. capabilities, this makes these technologies more expensive, but it is definitely worth it, at the same time, the russian federation is apparently switching to cheaper tools, and the occupiers can already use cheap drones to detect ukrainian air defenses, according to reuters, during attacks on ukraine, russia began to use some

completely new uavs, much cheaper and means that more of them can be made. what we know and what challenges we face about this innovation? well, you are asking about the new gerber drones, which have already been identified, their quality has already been checked, there, well, they are worthless and can be used mainly, well , their main purpose is to distract our opposition. air defense, and in the case of, say, in the case of the shaheds, they can do it, but in the case of raids by, say, cruise missiles, they will be cut off very quickly, that is, there is a system of selection of air targets, yes, selection by speed, if these drones try to cover

missiles in flight with a speed, well, a cruise missile has a cruising speed of about 700.50 km/h, the speed of this drone is barely 200, this is just the computer part of the radar, it will simply cut off the targets at that speed, yes, it won't, they won't clutter the screen, that is, they won't be responded to by air defense, but if shaheds, well shaheds of gerani, fly, then they really are similar in speed and they can generally... complicate the situation for anti-aircraft troops defense, but i hope these drones, they are not will be able to climb high, their speed in general is also lower than the shaheds, well, there is a 14.5 horsepower engine, as far as i could understand from the photos, identify the engine, but in general, i think that mobile

groups will cope with them, but , but still, you know, there will be extra trouble. and it is possible that sometimes we will have to really spend missiles on them, if we are talking about the defense of particularly important objects, when there will be no time to understand who is flying. well, mr. valery, you and i are talking about what actually the enemy is actively conducting reconnaissance, so for the last two weeks, we all watched shahed uavs launch almost every night, that's how they launch. in the direction of kyiv region, zhytomyr region, on other days it is launched in the direction of the south, but still this direction, kyiv region, chernihiv region, cherkasy region, zhytomyr region, together with these drones that we are talking about, yes, all this proves, most likely about the fact that the enemy is actively conducting reconnaissance, and what i am leading all this to, actually mass attacks, that is, mass attacks

of such a plan as the attack was on july 8, so one from... from the most brutal, one of the most terrorist attacks, we still see that there are no mass attacks for three weeks, don't you think that these three weeks the enemy is actively conducting reconnaissance, equipping, including its strategic bombers tu-95, tu 22 missiles in order to probably carry out somewhere either in the near future, or in the near future... in the future, this is such a massive attack, and if so, what objects are the russians trying to identify in order to actually to carry out such an attack, if i were to answer your question, yes, i have already been taken under state protection, you know, because here even vanga did not tell

you where the strikes will be carried out, how massive they are, yes, i can only tell you... what, for example, the overturning of russian bombers from base to base, it is not related to that, it means whether it will be massed or not massed for the flight, so bombers, i tell you, they can hang missiles on them, they can in olena and in engels, yes, so and apply there during a mass raid from any point. there it is not a problem to load rockets on military transport plane and transfer it to one point or another, yes, because they were flying from engels, massive raids were carried out by enemy aircraft. strategic aviation, yes, and in the same way from aleni actually flew to engels, yes, because the launches were past engels, the launches were often from

the caspian sea, well, so that the rocket, if it did not work, so that the ends were in the water, yes , as it has already happened, that is, yes, yes, yes, and so on, and when they, there were several cases when they launched land, yes, and rockets fell in the volgograd region and in other regions, yes, here well, the situation is something like this, that is , i simply cannot answer your question clearly, because you want too much, too much, let's say it directly, mr. valery, well, let's talk about what we can talk about, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine confirmed that on july 26, the defense forces of ukraine struck the saka airfield in the occupied crimea, literally a year and a half ago we would have talked about this as great news, but now the strikes on crimea, in particular on... the airfields located there, have become routine, routine for us in a good sense force defense work, this does not mean that it is an easy job, i think that it is difficult to plan

operations, but they are carried out and carried out successfully. today , satellite images are literally appearing, which indicate that there are places that are black, so to speak, there was most likely a fire there, planes were based there. su 30, the resolution of the satellite images is not very good so far, but it is less, but it is calm, on july 26 there were definitely no sacks at the airfield. my question to you is if and when we get the f16. in general, can we talk about the parity of aerial combat, and can we say that if it does take off from airfields, in particular occupied ones ... who are unlikely to successfully shoot back or maintain a direct line of engagement? well, let's do it, so

history does not yet know any air combat between the f-16 and russian fighters of the latest generation, which means the su-35, we are mainly talking about the su-35, but the last eight su-30 cm, they have already been released . with the same radars, and with the same weapons, i.e. optional long-range r37 missiles with a range of 300 km, yes, they were launched, by the way, three of them are precisely in the sacks, why are they being hit, just to disable these planes, that is why i will tell you what will happen after the appearance of f- 16, by the way, not many f-16s, ah, i don’t know, and i can’t say, and no serious aviation expert will tell you what will be, who, who will win these air battles,

it is possible to talk about parity, about superiority in the air with the acquisition of the f-16, this is unlikely, because it is not known with what weapons we will receive these american fighters, and which ones will be there stand up to the on-board defense system, which is responsible for deflecting enemy missiles into... the sides of these planes, well, that's why for now this question remains, well, waiting for a practical solution, there will be aerial battles, then we can say that, for example, these fighters are fine, you can increase their number, there are 128, there are 300, you can, they work, yes, if the first battles show that they are not capable of conducting air battles on parity terms, yes? then we will need to ask other questions allies, please upgrade, that is, improve the equipment and the armament of these aircraft, and in general the head

of lock martin, well, the vice president of the concern lockin martin, he said that we can bring any f16 to the block 70-72 standard, that is , the last, the last model of this aircraft, there is already a long-range weapon, there... there are radars with a range greater than the russian one, 350 km, half of the equipment is from the f-35 aircraft, that is , the fifth generation fighter, that is, what will be there, i would wait for now, the only thing that can be said is that it is unlikely that a few aircraft , which we should get in the near future, hardly they will immediately be used in dogfights with russian fighters, most likely their first task will be countermeasures. of defense, just in anticipation, as you say, of possible mass strikes by the russians, mr. valery, we are sincerely grateful to you for your thoughts, for

your expert assessment. valery romanenko, aviation expert, leading researcher of the state aviation museum, was on the live air of the espresso tv channel. we move on with you and remind you, of course, about our survey. do you consider the case of the murder of iryna farion to be solved, absolutely free. you can take your smartphones or phones and vote. if you think yes, dial 0800 211 300. 71, if you think no, 0800, 211 382, ​​you can also vote, at the end of this hour we will collect the first results, and we will vote with you until the end of the next hour, and now we congratulate oleksandr krayev, an expert of the ukrainian prism foreign policy council, oleksandr, glory to ukraine, hero slava, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, and with you as an americanist, we will probably start now.

talk about the latest trends, i'm sure you follow what is happening in the pre-election process in the united states, the ukrainians darkened their eyes and became very familiar with the state system in general, how it works, it seems to me that for the general development of ours this is an exceptionally good story, but, but everything will be decided this fall, and so far, at which stage are we, at which stage are the states? well, now it is obvious that the active work of the candidates both with their headquarters and in individual districts and in individual states continues. for haris and for her team , the key question now is, in principle, this team pick up, and here the question is not only in the position of the vice president, who is discussed so much, because he is supposed to balance the party. the question is really, in general, those people who will go to the white house with her, that is, who she will propose as

the secretary of defense, that is, the minister. defense, who will she propose for the position of secretary of state, who will be the national security adviser? all these questions still remain open, and although usually in the political history of the united states, vice presidents, if they became presidents under certain conditions, they pulled up their team, with which they worked before, now it is possible that some people from the biden administration can stay together with harris in this cabinet, and for the trump team, well, in general , they are already running out of this hype after the attempt on his life . and they need to understand two things informationally: firstly, what is their company built on in the future and how can they gain additional supporters, that is, not only republicans, not only trumpists, how can they win over an independent voter, and secondly, and more importantly, what they can drown kamala harris, that is, if their rhetoric about biden was clear and we have heard it for four years, then why attack, let's say, kamala harris as an opponent, so far on fox news and one america network, she

is mainly attacked for the fact that... she allegedly wants to ban plastic straws for cocktails, that is, so far there are not many options, let's say, she is also accused of being childless, and we are talking now most likely about the vice president in the case of donald's presidency trump, and how about you taksvens really yes, well he really, let's say this, provocatively enough attacked kamala harris, we saw that even some republican politicians said that, young man, if you didn't... positions now to evaluate other women, especially political women opponents, and although you and i are in the same party, but hold your horses a little, boy, because this was actually, well, not the kind of rhetoric that is needed now to unify the party and supposedly unite americans, which donald trump is proposing. with vance in general very much difficult situation, because despite his absolute loyalty to trump, despite the fact that he is a convenient candidate for trump, but polls even of the republican centers

now indicate that he is no less popular than the last 60 years for the vice presidential candidate, here it is worth to say that the previous least popular candidate was the master of the ku klux klan, so he has very serious competition in this field. what is the current interest rate, mr. oleksandr, as of now? i think it is worth starting here with the fact that we are not yet have seen neither haris's team nor strategy, and while trump has at least some understanding of how he will work and with whom, haris is still a one-man brand and... so to say clearly that these are the percentages , which she will have at the end, is very difficult, so these are only such intermediate results, but according to the intermediate result, we see, well, let's say, ipsos, reuters, pure research institute, they all give indicators that hayris is either on par with trump, or starting ahead of him within the limits of statistical error, so in fact, as for a candidate who is only well a week ago, literally a week and a half ago , she started her campaign, as for a candidate who was considered the weakest candidate.

democratic potential candidates, it's very…
