the mass use of cabs must be stopped, this can be done by the f-16, but on the condition that we have targeting information, after all, not just from the on-board radars of these planes, but still with the use of more powerful tools. as for air defense, these aircraft can really help us fight cruise missiles, that is, the same missiles that are launched from strategic bombers, the same kha-101, other modifications, they. can actually shoot down f-16s effectively and thus create another one echelon of air defense of ukraine, that is , we have patriot, we have nasams, iriste, there are soviet systems, frankysam systems, and there will be more, f-16s, which will be able to be more adaptive to shoot down missiles, because we know that the russians are constantly changing routes , trajectories, try to confuse our air defense, because no matter how mobile the complex is, it is still stationary. in fact, but

the f-16 can adaptively destroy these missiles, regardless of any trajectory of their use, so i think it will be enough a significant contribution to capabilities, that is, i would consider the f-16s not as aircraft, but as combat capabilities, so if they become combat capabilities supported by system capabilities, then that will also have an impact on the ... battlefield, if they are just aircraft, which were handed over to us without weapons, without integration into the nato information field, then the number here will not mean anything at all, because they will not affect the effectiveness of the use of these aircraft, but the fact that ukraine will receive or has received f-16 is the same has a sufficiently large psychological effect for the russians, because i... watched their messages and

videos, what they say in their programs about the f-16, they are all in such a hysterical state because of it, because they say that the ukrainians have already crossed the red lines, and the most important thing for ukraine is that the f-16 is the first step towards the rearmament of the ukrainian air force, because the f-16 aircraft, after the f-16 aircraft , there will obviously be the f-18 and f-35, that is, this is only the beginning, just as it was with tanks and armored personnel carriers that we received from our western partners, or does that mean the arrival of these f-16s, the beginning of a new aviation era in ukraine? well, of course, because it's really the first western aircraft of this level in the air force, it's really the beginning of the rearmament, the beginning of ... the era of warriors really, i

wouldn't say here about the line that will be next, because we have more, there were negotiations on gripins, there were negotiations on french planes of various modifications, and especially considering the fact that how unmanned aviation is developing, that is, it is difficult to say which aviation platforms will be more effective in 20 years, or whether it will be a traditional plane, whether it will still be an unmanned platform, i would really say now that the f16 is the first step. to a new type of air force, and this is really extremely important, we have been talking about this for 20 years, that precisely at the turn of 20-25 we should already completely switch to western aircraft, in principle, it turned out that way, but under other circumstances, what as for the psychological factor, i think that the psychological factor will be when we shoot down the first, the first ten so-34 f16. this

is going to be the psychological effect when it's going to be roughly the psychological effect when we hit 2 a50s, derelo russian planes, which were engaged in exactly this, they provided information, targeting of the tactical aviation of the russian air force, and this then meant that the russians were head and shoulders above us, shot down the a50s, and the psychological effect was very, very powerful. because the russians now mainly work with the information that is on the radars of the planes themselves, this allows them to dominate the air for the time being, because we have our planes, old soviet planes, they cannot compete precisely in terms of radar range, in terms of radar efficiency on-board, which are actually on our mi-29s, or su-27s, even more so there are su-25s, there is no question at all, but the point is that if our f-16s will now have more illumination from awaks, or finally we will... the swedish

itakis will come distance definition, this will mean that we will now be a head higher, and the psychological effect will be just after we shoot down a few, well up to a dozen i... i will say so su-34x, after which the use of su- 34s will simply stop, because they have only a hundred su-34s left, but this is for the whole of vast russia, this is taking into account the threats nato, china and so on, and that means they can't take risks like that, because they can't produce tsu-34 now a few dozen a year, they barely pull out a dozen, and then, i think, the prospect is that they won't be able to at all release these aircraft without assistance. china, for example, because in fact the sanctions operate precisely in high-tech areas, so they will protect their planes, and this means that the first ten su34x will be shot down and after that the cabs will not actually be used, because it will be an extremely high risk for the air

forces of russia. mr. mykhailo, i wanted to ask you about the weapons potential of russia, ukraine, and our western partners. because i read how the deputy chairman of the national defense strategy of the united states of america, eric eidelman, characterizes the potentials of our western partners and russia, and he says that america and its allies produce fewer weapons than russia, china, iran and north korea taken together, to quote mr. eidelman, our defense industrial base is in a very bad state. the state of the european defense and industrial base in the worse, we need our industrial base, their base, and the industrial base of our pacific allies: australia, japan, south korea, taiwan, they all need to step up because what

russia, china, iran, north korea are doing, surpasses what we ourselves are capable of, how is this assessment of these potentials of the country? conditional axis of evil and countries that are democratic, what does this mean, it means that the axis of evil at this stage is stronger than the axis, the democratic axis, let's say this, the axis of evil mobilized earlier, that is, the axis of evil, well, especially russia, for example, russia was preparing for war for at least 10 years, that is, let's remember after... the war against georgia, the aggression against georgia in 2008, when it turned out that the russian army was in a terrible state of disrepair, they began reform, this reform began in 2010, a trillion dollars were allocated back in 2010, they began to prepare for war,

they attacked ukraine in the 14th year and did not slow down after that, after that they suffered a fiasco in february 22- th year, because they appeared again, they did not... calculate their strength, but unfortunately, our european partners, our american partners, did not start preparing for war from the 14th year, they believed that it was possible to continue the so-called de-escalation of the pacification of the aggressor, let's remember, to be honest, they tried to appease the aggressor, they kept saying that you can't demonstrate to russia that we are also preparing for war, so let's not increase our defense budgets. let's remember how, for example, trump quarreled with merkel, and that was before things, in the 16th year, when he literally said such words that you give more money to russia for gas than you invest in your own defense, and this is unacceptable, it

cannot continue like this, because at that time germany was less than 1 % of gdp was spent on defense, and now we see what this led to, in fact, the german army was not... ready in the 22nd year for any hostilities or for any confrontation with russia, that is, russia was preparing with in the 10th year before the war, now that it has actually collapsed from its point of view opc, their opc does not cope, they did , with the help of china, which acted as a kind of economic base for this whole process, actually created a military shop for themselves from north korea, a kind of, if we speak by analogy. that is, if during the second world war russia created the urals for itself, like the urals for the soviet union, it is now north korea, they invest a lot of money there, north korea is very, very happy about this, because for the first time in history the kimchanin regime received its there

ancestors received a huge investment, now the economy of north korea is growing because russia is investing huge funds, technology and so on, this is all for... it threatens not only ukraine now, it really threatens the asia-pacific region, precisely those allies of the united states, which are japan, taiwan, south korea korea, directly, which russia is beginning to understand. is now raising north korea, and war, for example, on the korean peninsula is already a reality, because kimchi with nuclear weapons now already looks better than south korea, which was actually quite mobilized from from the point of view of the armed forces, but it is now not so ready to face all of russia and north korea, iran, and behind them there is china in the shadows, which says that it is a peacemaker, but in fact until now... it has active economic ties with all these countries, that's why the problem for the west is huge,

they are just now starting to wake up, they are actually potentially much stronger than this so-called axis of evil, you can't compare the gdp of the countries of the west with the combined gdp of russia, china, north korea and iran , this much more powerful countries, the united states spends under 900 billion dollars a year on defense, that is, these funds seem to be insufficient for the production and equipment and provision of its allies and so on, but we are in a state of geopolitical turbulence, we know that the elections of the united states are approaching states and there, in fact , it is still not clear to me who is still better for ukraine, or trump, who proposes rather drastic changes in geopolitics, well, for example, to dramatically flood the market, the global oil market. american oil and reduce oil prices, it is very profitable for us, because the price of $10 means depriving russia of the main source

of monetary resources, financing its defense industry, financing its mercenaries, soldiers, whom they already pay $25,000 each for a contract signing bonus and so on, that is, or kamala haris, which seems to be quite beautiful and positive for ukraine, but i don't see it. its position regarding ukraine, whether it will be a continuation of this policy of de-escalation, or whether a more decisive leadership position will still be possible, this is important to understand now for ukraine and be ready for any variant of the development of events, and the west, i hope that europe will become more autonomous, and maybe even two divisions will be created in nato, one division will deal with asia and the north under the leadership of the united states america, and europe together with ukraine. will deal more with eurasia, i don't see anything wrong with it, if europe also begins to live

a little like a state of war, because the war is approaching europe, this must be understood , including in european capitals. thank you, mr. mykhailo, thank you for the conversation, it was mykhailo samus, a military expert. friends, we continue to work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who are currently watching us live on youtube, please join us. today we ask you about the following: do you expect the f-16 fighters to change the situation at the front? yes, no, if you have a separate opinion, please write in the comments under this video, like this video. well, if you are watching us on tv on a smartphone or phone and vote if you expect the f-16 to change the situation on the front (0800-211-381, not 0800-211-382). all calls to these numbers are free, vote for... at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote. next, we are in touch with roman tsimbalyuk, my colleague, journalist, former

vasko runyan in moscow. mr. roman, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. greetings, serhiy, glad to see everyone. well, taking advantage of the fact that we are watched by a large television audience, i encourage you to subscribe to roman tsimbalyuk's youtube channel, more million there are already 200 thousand followers who follow that. how and what roman tsymbalyuk comments, join his youtube channel, it's always interesting there, i recommend it as a person who watches roman tsymbalyuk. so, roman, let's start with such a big espionage exchange that putin conducted today with the civilized world, because he exchanged his killers, spies, for political prisoners, for journalists, for public figures. 26 prisoners from several parties, who actually exchanged these prisoners, and russia

, in the style of the soviet union, exchanged luis karvalan to volodymyr bukovsky, well , it sounded a little differently to hooligan , yes, here is putin's exchange fund, as i said, it consists of decent people and people who... are engaged in, or were engaged in, political activities in russia, or they are foreign journalists or public figures, what can you say about this big exchange, does it mean that... the western world is starting some kind of dialogue with russia, because russia is such a country that can endlessly take hostages, journalists, public figures , politicians, and endlessly then exchange them for their killers, spies who are caught all over the world. well, first of all,

this detective story is much more pleasant to watch from kyiv than to watch. learn from this personally, well, that's me, you introduced me as a former laskar in moscow, i remembered that there were interesting moments, and when you returned home alive and well, even during the war, you understand that home is better than, than nedomo, yes, ah, as for this story and the exchange in general, well, as a matter of fact, what we see is putin again demonstrated his strength... actually he demonstrates in the war with ukraine what i mean, and it is easier for him and for the russians in general, because they do not care about their people, in general, and it is clear that the american, the british and any representatives of other states,

the governments will drown for them until the very last moment, well, just like the germans exchanged with... alexander lukashenko, and this simply needs to be recorded, because their approach is such that, well, it is in fact the same as in war with us, only different, different proportions, different number of people, he doesn't care how many of them will be there or prison or die, but not by the western government, as for whether russia started negotiations with the west, well then i can say, or the west with... and then we started negotiations with russia, because we also exchange our people, and this is done quite regularly, although i was recently near the building of the coordination headquarters for the treatment of prisoners, there are many women with posters informing that their sons were not exchanged, that's simple. we have to

record, and i think we just have to congratulate those people who won freedom, c including citizens of russia who spoke out and are speaking out against putin, we are always skeptical here, but nevertheless, a person who, for his convictions, got into putin's train station, into the russian train station, it seems to me that she is for...

the former a deputy of the state duma of the russian federation, on this night from july 31 to august 1, an enemy drone damaged his house in the kyiv region, and as the former state duma deputy himself wrote literally last night, that is, from the 30th to the 31st, three shaheds were shot down over his house or near his house and he thought it was accident. what is ponomarov writing now, this thing burst very hard, just in front of the house, i mean the drone itself, and a bunch of debris flew into me, the fire was quickly extinguished by the security guards who came, but there was a lot of blood and i had to go to the hospital quickly, well thank god and ilya ponomarov and

his wife are alive, healthy, wounded, you see, wounded on the face, and here... i have a question: this, this case, it means that any person who in one way or another opposes of russia, may find itself under attack of this strike drone, and anyone who publicly says that russia is a terrorist and putin is a criminal, from public figures, of course, can fall under these drones, or is there a recipe, how? in general, let's protect ourselves from this, there is a recipe, and i will gladly answer your question, sergey, but let's start with the recipe, yes, we need to kill russians. to kill the russians and their leaders, no one has come up with anything else, those who, therefore, promote war against ukraine, the entire military leadership,

putin, medvedev and the rest, these are all legitimate goals, and they must be destroyed, and look, look, peace and justice will come. actually, everything is very simple, as far as ilya panamerov is concerned, he has ukrainian citizenship, so it is clear that he is one of those who moved to russia, and... he calls a spade a spade about what i just said, that all these stories about peaceful protests and sitting on a bottle are at least stupid, at least, and at most simply dangerous, because all these people were listed by russian employees of the center for combating extremism and then one was transplanted, so it seems to me in this case that it is clear that ilya panamarov is not an ordinary citizen of ukraine, after all, this is a war, he is a person who makes sense, and

the main sense, actually, is weapons and resistance with weapons in his hands , but let's be honest, it's clear that you need to earn three shahyed and a fourth for... a snack, as they say, but we all live in such conditions, whether you are in kyiv or in some other place, a chance will fly to you something heavy and will explode, explode, he, he is not zero, well it should be said that ilya panomaryov was involved in the creation of the free russia battalion and was involved in the russian voluntary movement, i.e. russians who are against vladimir putin, he was in our studio, we just talked with him about all these things, about how people are now choosing their freedom, fighting on the side

of ukraine, so it is clear that ilya ponomaryev is a big figure, and it is clear that the russian special services pay special attention to her, at the same time, roman, i wanted to ask you about these corruption scandals. which are now simply exploding in the ministry of defense sergei shaigu, or rather, his exes, his entourage, because we see how, one by one, the deputy ministers, there, the leaders of the military dealers, eh, all the other people, it seems, five or six people are already sitting in the pre-trial detention center. sergey kyzhugetovych himself has a warrant from the international criminal court, he is a certified criminal of such an international level, but... this corruption, it has always existed in russia, and everyone has been stealing there since time immemorial, and under putin, apparently, it all somehow happens

centrally, or they somehow regulate there, well, everyone takes as much as they want is it allowed to take, does this mean that all of shaigu’s entourage is now going to the pretrial detention center, that they took a little more and with in order to show the situation in the army not as it is... but to paint this situation, as a result of which they are actually from 2022 and are in such a state, actually thefts, bribes and the rest, it doesn’t matter, they, as they say, disgraced their tsar, or not the tsar for the whole world, and this is the tsar, let’s remember, so since the 17th year, vladimir putin has been showing at public speeches, all kinds of idiosyncrasies, like russian rockets... fly, accordingly, somewhere to the united states, and everything is being burned there, and this sick grandfather, whom we now see on the screens, usually says that we do not have analogues, we are now

like bahnem, we want nato to shrink, ukraine to be ours, and so on, and so on, here once and a little everything went differently, moreover, on russian television they now show how tamahawks and other missiles fly into russian cities, our embalists will also fly. missiles, including in addition to the f-16 armament, and of course, the shoigu clan is being punished for this, personally, rather than everything will not be touched, but will simply be sent to a pension, in which, in which he is currently in fact, because this same body, depending on the personal, he is either influential, or so-so, and that lately i have not even seen with ... meetings of the russian security council on fridays usually putin calls, something recently, it seems to me, even this format has somehow become not

so... interesting, it seems to me, the most cool news in this case is that they were arrested leaders of the wine market, we remember, this is exactly what started the war, this is the school phrase of maniac putin, and weapons and russian military uniforms can be bought in any military market, so i want to say to this monster, what a crazy grandfather, you have proved that ukraine has been demilitarized. to modern american planes, and probably, if you had at least a little sense, then you would have already started to crawl away, and the effect will be just like this, well, that is, the crawling away of russia, only because of the blood of ours, well, and accordingly, russian non-humans. roman, another topic that was updated during the last week was the interview

zelensky. according to the lemont publication, he said that the russians could be present at, or russia could be present at the second peace summit that will be held in november, and what zelensky said, i believe, like most countries, that at the second peace summit in russian representatives must be present in november, otherwise we will not achieve viable results, i do not want them to prevent us from preparing a joint plan. we know that the russians issued an ultimatum. ultimatum to the ukrainian side was told that your capitulation, four oblasts, the exit of the ukrainian army, denazification, what are they doing next, well, they repeat this mantra, and neutral status, and there is something else, how do you evaluate the effort to give the russians the opportunity to take part in this peace summit and in what status, well - firstly

, they have already abandoned this format, secondly... the president of ukraine is demonstrating to the whole world that we, we are not, we are ready to make compromises, we are ready to negotiate, because recently the russians have always emphasized that this is not what the ukrainians want negotiate, please, we want to negotiate, the only one the nuance that is much more important here, when we talk about any peace talks, is that now everyone started talking about the f-16, because this is a preparation for peace talks with the russians. will not be signed under any circumstances, there is only one nuance here, the most important one, what will be the decision of the western world after the elections of the united states, well, conditionally speaking, to give ukraine the number of planes and bombs in order to freeze the war, or to knock out the russian invaders from the territory of ukraine, much more will depend on this than from all these talks about negotiations, well, in order for

the western... partners to think faster, then they need to create their own missiles and fly around moscow, which means that panamarov flew into the house, well , why can't you kill ryshna, ryshkin, he was also alive , he also has a daughter, too, glass windows there, it is necessary to destroy people, what are the appropriate solutions, well, thank you, on this optimist. we conducted a survey and asked you about whether you expect the f-16 to change the situation at the front, 74% yes, 26% - no. on this, friends, i put a full stop, it was program verdict of provia serhii rudenko, i say goodbye to you, see you tomorrow, take care of yourself and your relatives. goodbye.

the large-scale exchange of prisoners between russia and the countries of the west is already called one of the largest since the end of the cold war. who was released, how will this affect the relationship between the united states and russia? we are talking about this on the bbc, live from london, i am yevgenia shedlovska. details of this large-scale exchange are still emerging, as are the names of those who have already been exchanged. but you know where this exchange took place in turkey. so, the russian government plane landed in ankara airport and several more planes landed after him. in fact, the media had already reported the day before that such an exchange was being prepared. there were various signals that prisoners in russia began to be transported to other places, but now the office of turkish president recep erdogan was the first to confirm.
