[000:00:00;00] kills 1,300 mm, there is not a single tank armor like that, well, the komikat flies in, but we usually attack them, if we are in cover, we don’t pay attention to them, that is, we report if something flies with an internal combustion engine, we take out the anti-tank fu for what purpose, the anti-tank complex and the goggle, that is, we work out accordingly , that is, i have a multifunctional platoon, it works like on the ground, on the sky, it’s already almost transparent, but still bright in the autumn, the woodcutter is ideal place for artillerymen, furnishings it also remains tense, the enemy is rushing, we stop him, we work, well, we set fire to his equipment, because there is nothing better than

a 152mm projectile. while it is still warm and dry, you can work secretly and relatively comfortably. the division commander leads us to one of the disguised crews. sight 550 at homer 518 readiness. a few minutes to get the howitzer into combat position, and the same amount to shoot back. what the military calls combat work is... routine and daily work, the fourth in readiness has one fire, a gun, shot, i started work fourth on the target, movements practiced hundreds of times, repeated short commands and anxious anticipation of whether the enemy will strike back, for this crew from the 503rd regiment it’s just a normal

working day, gun shot, two shots on target, shooting finished, sighting the shot is already behind us, now after adjustments, the fighters are hitting the enemy fortifications, the distance to the target is about 12 km from us, every movement, as in a honed mechanism, behind all this coherence and seeming routine, there is no one hour of work and the main thing, of course, is practically mutual understanding with labinsky, i am the fourth, i started the work according to the goal. the artillery dream team, almost the first time the northern military district fought together, even managed to be in close combat, which happens extremely rarely with artillerymen. the commander of the gun, call sign lis , recently received a muzhik, as the military calls

the order of courage. loaded, gun, shot. says that he always wanted to become a military man, he has a family waiting at home, and a few months ago his daughter was born, he went on a short vacation and returned to his native regiment, gun, shot, i'm the fourth, one expense, i'm here until the end, this is my duty, it's like, well, i 'm fulfilling my duties in the interests of my homeland, here i am... here until the end until the last moment, when it ends, it's necessary next we will go to africa, to syria, wherever necessary, we will go there, st. petersburg, volgograd , kuban, this artillery team is supported all over russia, the platoon commander with the call sign labinsk, also a young father, wears baubles on his hand from his wife as a talisman and children, the child was born at this time, he already a year, now the child is just 2 months old, well, fortunately

they let him go, it was for the birth of the child. and at least once six months they let him go, at least i see him, this is the most important thing for us, for the military, everything is done for them, for the children, how to hide a howitzer on a flat field, where to dig a dugout in a forest belt, at what distance to hide ammunition from drones, which have already become familiar to them, these secrets of effective work can only be learned in practice, this has not been discussed in military textbooks before... here we store charges, a dug-out cellar with an overlap, so that if suddenly the fragmentation action would fly, so that our ammunition would not detonate , we do not show the face of the division commander, such a man is being hunted for real, the best assessment from the enemy, we even had to change his call sign several times, in february twenty-second he he first commanded a crew, then

a platoon, and is now responsible for an entire division. shot, three shells fired and we move away from the gun, while we wait for a safe interval, the senior gunner shows us his mansions, a dugout in which he will spend the next 2-3 weeks until they change position, well, here is our modest home, not to say that it is completely spartan, but it has been worse, such dugouts are both a home and a shelter, it also saves us from the main enemy artillery drones , the fighters are already accustomed to them, now they are much more dangerous than drones, these are ordinary field mice, they can chew through any built fortification, there is one of them, that’s it. this is so that there are no mice, everything is glassy with iron , we sew it up with iron, well, we’ve already gotten used to it, we ’ve been fighting here for two years now since the first day we’re already used to it, but of course, who else if not us? while

there are no drones quietly visible in the sky, we move to another position, a little further from the front line, to the long-range artillery geotsient - a powerful and destructive weapon. the artillery crew is now preparing for combat work, the long-range gun is up to 20 km, now the target is away from us, then the front line is about 10 km, but even despite such a fairly serious distance, there are no unshelled areas in this territory, so the soldiers warned that enemy drones are here from time to time they are trying to reconnoiter our positions, so as soon as they shoot back, they immediately either need to take a safe place, or just leave here , but one position is generally in one place for 2 weeks, then it’s a further roll, that is, a change of position, another

calculation 503 shelf and another amazing story: this team was assembled from those mobilized, a year ago, a former combine operator, a store manager, a businessman and a farmer became artillery, and so they fight suraya fourth sight 405 405 protractor 56 02 gun shot we try to look for an option at least once in the day there is something to send a text message that they are alive and healthy, everything is so normal, we have already gotten used to it. the first 2 weeks were hard, but now we work both at home and here at work , the main thing is that everything is fine with us at home. such are the things, we’ve been together for a year, the commander, yesterday’s college graduate, almost immediately after graduation he went to svo, managed to rise to the rank of battery commander at the age of 24, he

commands the mobilized, everything is like in the old soviet cinema, people with, so to speak, life experience, too we ourselves are already young, we are still learning, even from them, they are learning from us, we we train in military affairs, they outnumber us, in civilian life, who did what. they pass on their experience, tell their stories, it’s also very interesting for the guys, the guys are all really responsible, united, i really like it, of course, it’s nice to work with them, no questions, they understand what task we face, enemy artillery in the zaporozhye direction sounds less and less often, and this is not only the so-called shell hunger. the successes of our artillerymen, assault troops and drones are becoming more obvious every day. now we are flying... to the place where the enemy infantry was discovered, we will further reconnoiter the area, then we will inflict fire damage. rabotina , the hottest spot on the zaporozhye front, from the height of a drone, the land in this area looks like a gray lifeless desert, but

the experienced eye of the uav operator will discern the enemy even in such territory. he twisted the detonator and brought the drone into a combat position, because now there would be a way out. mara, give me one, give me one, it’s just that our guys shoot shots towards the enemy so that they don’t stick out, these are long, but not deep our soldiers called the trenches trenches of death, it is simply impossible to hide from such drones, the ground around seems to have been plowed up by the explosions of hundreds of shells, not a single living place, they are all already collapsed. they’ve already fired at them all, there’s probably only knee-deep left , so they walk along the top, because they don’t have a trench, this section of the zaporozhye front

is defended by several battalions and regiments, they call each other neighbors, they’ve learned to quickly interact and respond to attacks the enemy and cover during assaults, they arrive at night and inflict fire damage during the day. and after lunch they retreat, fish, fish, volgograd, what is the situation? 11:13, mara, more, mara, one more, one more. this is the operator of the uav and the seventieth regiment coordinating the fire of the neighboring mortarmen. together they are trying to knock out the next group of ukrainian armed forces fighters from the so-called gray zone. in the field, they become easy targets. now the guys will launch dunks and we will practice on the enemy infantry. trying to gain a foothold in the gray zone in the gray zone.

now we can see it there too neighbors are helping to work out neighbors are working with a tank, you can see here on the right there is a landmark there is a trench and boards you need to fly straight to them stop work we are reloading go to cover and check the pipe while the batteries are being charged soldiers of the unit show their birds, mostly komikaz drones, but there are also reusable ones for night reconnaissance, of impressive size it costs about a million rubles, expensive, but much cheaper than a german leopard or american bradley shot down with its help, now only foreign equipment remains, that is, the same leopards, the same bradley m113 armored personnel carriers, every day, the enemy uses only this equipment, what? what is most likely felt is not the saving of ammunition, but the hopelessness

of the situation, because the enemy is throwing his sabotage groups into such places that, simply without any escape route, he throws them directly into the encirclement of our units. the unmanned arsenal is replenished every month with new products, modified in the field by serial craftsmen assembled in their own... homemade kitchens, in thousands of specialists are now participating in this race of flying weapons on earth. what we can do on a 3d printer , what we can’t, naturally, helps us, we buy it, naturally, humanitarian aid comes to us, we already collect it, finish it and do something of our own so that we can have it’s easier to work, and based on what working conditions, naturally, what... working distances are, we remake

them to suit ourselves. victory is also forged in this small room, or rather, it is printed here, in close proximity to the front line they collect the most popular products at the front, drones and kamikaze drones. yes, it’s all gathered here, there’s nothing new here, everything is basically typical, everything is like everyone else’s. four rotors, the filling is all identical, it’s 7 inches, carries about a kilogram, calmly, confidently, at a distance of up to 5 km, he turned his passion for the sky into a vocation, oleg has been involved in aircraft modeling since childhood and even managed to work in civil aviation, volunteers, having joined platov’s detachment here, now it inspires others, we test it, we fly we ourselves decide, how to say, we make

adjustments to the design, we modernize it. already in accordance with the need, that is, some points are clarified at the stages of application and, well , there are some shortcomings, maybe some constructive ones, well , changes need to be made, we solve it all right there, correct it right there , we are growing and improving these things , the conveyor works around the clock, there are three people in one shift, specialists were gathered from everywhere, a former pilot from kazakhstan, a robotics engineer from yakutia and one such 3d printer in two days capable of printing all the parts for a drone, then they are assembled into a finished structure, equipped with the necessary electronics and programmed; there are now about a dozen such workshops, sometimes literally underground, along the front line. now we are probably in one of the most secret rooms on the entire zaporozhye front. the fact is that right here

, right before our eyes, they are re-flashing drones, that is, making drones invisible to the enemy and most importantly, of course, safe for their operators, right from here, from this table the birds are already heading to the front line. a nineteen-year-old student from crimea, call sign seva, is responsible for programming here; when the special military operation began, he was still going to school, and is now a sought-after military specialist in secret production. we are striving for some kind of automation so that i can press a few buttons, uh, the plane has already determined the targets itself, maybe even aimed itself, well, specifically, that’s exactly what i’ll be doing, with the help of others we have in the team, uh, we’ll try do it sooner we can do everything, there’s nothing complicated about it, 10 planes and 15 drones a day, production is small, but this is its advantage, you can quickly make adjustments to the design and quickly complete an individual

order, trophies from the front lines are also sorted here. we come across enemy devices, which are further studied, disassembled down to, so to speak, screws, and already... at the stage of complete disassembly, we look at what is new in the enemy’s devices, and what is already kind of old, and we try to introduce, and also refine, plus we also take everything into account and the wishes of the fighters, in terms of application, that is, something needs to be improved somewhere, maybe on the contrary, something is superfluous, something is not needed at all, we are in the so-called class, yes, where soldering takes place, assembly of fpv drones of the kamika type, the training program for future operators had to be drawn up in the trenches and on their knees , the enemy had a clear advantage in technology and in the number of specialists, we are catching up, several hundred fighters have already passed through this training center in zaporozhye alone, but here in

fact everything is from different manufacturers, they send us so that we can test. work with various products, somewhere there is some experience, there, that is, well, show me, well, this is an ordinary one, let’s say, if we take it from a small one, this is an ordinary five, on which we work, train, now, something bigger , this is the ninth frame, here the guys sent us on plywood, they say, they asked us to test how it behaves. there the model goes further, also already narrower, but with a sliding reset, that is, when the mechanism only works, it is always attached ammunition, and then it comes off

just when at the moment the drone dives, already with the orientation, let’s say, correct, so that the ammunition does not twist or spin. here it is important, the issue of operator safety is important, because when returning back , we must understand that the enemy does not see us, radio reconnaissance, they come from all directions for training at the zaporozhye sudoplatov battalion, the first 4 days work on simulators with a soldering iron, drone operators must do the same have a good command of the basics of piloting, programming and technical partly, we give the base, the base. one in which the operator will be able to figure it out on his own, even if the components come from, let’s say, another manufacturer, then they will be able to independently determine where to solder them, what kind of motors they are, how to arrange them, each

cadet here has his own path to the flying squad, for whom -this is the first military profession, others are trying to return to the front again, the confessor came to... courses after being wounded, was first an attack aircraft and is well acquainted with drones, when you simply cannot do anything, when on they don’t fly with you, you can’t get up, you can’t sit down, nothing, plus every time they constantly throw off something, these comics fly in , always with the face of dirt, that is, you constantly walk around dirty, it’s very demoralizing, well, now, apparently, grievances have accumulated and decided, grievances a lot has accumulated, i still signed up for him there, i was already there, it’s just me... and after being wounded, i can’t do assaults now, so i decided to help, even if i became an ex-man, i would have gone to the helm, but now i’m not fit,

training ground for pilots, from the outside, in appearance no different from the rest training grounds, by the way, the facility is no less secret than where these drones are assembled, the queue for classes is scheduled for many months in advance , and both from scratch and experienced fighters from the front line come to train, as they say, there is no limit to perfection, now the guys are preparing for use, as they say, they will show what they are capable of, let’s take off for now, one warm-up lap, yeah, let’s go. comes at us with an rpg charge, this charge is basically enough to knock out a tank and dive. keep the horizon, get into small openings, it is correct to take the position of covering your digital and radio traces; the minimum program for

a future operator is 100 hours of training flight time. the most important thing is motor skills, but people first practice on simulators, on a computer, after a certain number of hours, for some it takes 5 hours, for others 10, for others maybe even a hundred is not enough, all people perceive it differently, people who played computer games on consoles. yes, it comes to this much faster. among the instructors and current drone operators from the front lines and simply specialists experienced in piloting civilian drones. combat experience is of course especially valued, as are tips that you won’t find on the internet or in instructions. when students come to us, i study the entire terrain in detail, how it is there, what is there, uh, accordingly, i look at satellite photos, where to launch fpv, where to correct. i give what advice i know, as if i had teachers, thank god, they are generally great, the boys have gone through a

lot, that’s why i survived, and now i teach the boys, so that they also return home, the fpvdron pilot is an isper and an artillery sniper rolled into one, and there are no age restrictions. control of combat drones is now trusted not only to men, largely thanks to the example of an instructor from the battalion. her call sign phoenix is ​​now known in many units. our military personnel’s level of motivation is simply off the charts, that is, the work that i don’t know is usually done there for several months, they do it here in a few weeks, and it really works out, you can learn everything, as in in any case, you just have to work on it, so hard, there were a lot of girls for whom airplanes could be the first thing, all along the front. when we saw phoenix, nadezhda, the girls immediately ran to

the commander, they said, here is a comrade commander, girls can also defend their homeland in this way, he fully supported us and sent us for training just to them, a fighter with the call sign birkin, originally from tula, i first took a drone control panel at almost 40 years old, from military experience before that, only military service, i came volunteers in the battle... when enemy drones began to hit russian cities, we carry out tasks so that our homeland becomes stronger, accordingly, we constantly go to the lbs, there is also gunfire, mortar arrivals, that is, when science and technology advances to the fact that i am there from home in tula or someone from home in moscow will be able to control this drone on lbs, perhaps then it will become like a computer game, since we... are located

500 mech from the line of combat contact there, kilometer, sometimes on the contrary, for distant targets we go into the gray zone, that is, the zone between us and the enemy, for us the war does not lose its relevance, his squad already has downed western equipment, the most important result is that the enemy now does not take risks go out into the open , as it was, for example, six months ago. so this is such a beauty, look, such a rose, we planted them 5 years ago, just when our son came on vacation, they are really looking forward to visiting him again, but everyone understands, the first thing for the eldest son, now it is his duty, when last year pavel zakharov went to the front as a volunteer, it was useless to dissuade him, but we probably wouldn’t have dissuaded him since childhood, it’s his choice, and we are even something. ..we are proud that our children, they did not stand aside, still

bring some benefit to society, volunteers, for the bravery and courage shown during military operations to protect the fatherland and state interests of the russian federation, award, behind every such award is a story of heroism, pavel zakharov recalls the most difficult battle, when, despite being wounded, he held the defense with his fighters, there were 10 attack aircraft per barsovets then, naturally, i felt my responsibility and i had to, i had to not leave the battlefield until we repelled the attack, even our felcher was a great guy there, he bandaged me and i was taken to the hospital, only when it was all over , everything was fine, that is, we survived, and after that he just left for the hospital, the parents explain that their son loved

justice since childhood and accepted it himself decision when a special operation began, he didn’t say anything to anyone, he left for the volunteer detachment, he couldn’t do it any other way , we put this into them from childhood, that we need to fight for the country, we need to fight for the truth, we believe, we expect victory, victory will be ours, so that he had to leave for the front with a good job, but he doesn’t regret anything, even after being wounded in the leg by shrapnel, he returned to the detachment, where his work, friends and purpose in life are now. unfortunately, only through blood, through suffering, through grief, do people understand that this is not an option, the option is when people live together with the world, with each other, with our neighbors, we are all the more fraternal people , so, but we stand our ground, we feel that we are right, we know, we are confident in it, and accordingly, with our

confidence, we show that we will not waver, our goals will be achieved. there are two heroes in the zakharov family, pavel’s brother-in-law is also at the front, so his sister nina has to worry about both of them at once. my brother is also in specialization. so, in principle, he always protected me as a child, i knew that he was a hero. and for me the main thing is so that he is alive, that’s all. everything will be fine, i say hello to my family, i ’m fine, we’re rooting for you, we’re worried,

we’ll win, we’ll be back. i’ve spent my whole life working towards this, we expect to do it in 10 days, it will be a record, cut it, on the verge of possibilities, we are all with him, because he is the only one, at the maximum height, higher, don’t rise, you’ll just fall like a stone . at the speed of the wind, it’s a super cyclone, a killer cyclone, it’s like it’s chasing you,

what do you want, master of the wind, our broadcast will continue the story about women donbass, who

fight for their land along with men, which helps them maintain their morale and continue. to believe and love, this is what our documentary film
