see you all at the inauguration events good afternoon, dear comrades, i am very glad to see the president of the russian federation. i would really like for all our comrades to be present at this ceremony. who solve problems within the framework of a special military operation, do not spare their health, and if necessary, give their lives for russia, unfortunately, this is impossible, these are hundreds of thousands of people, but i take this opportunity, through you, i want to convey to them my best wishes, wishes for success victories we have big tasks

for the development of the country in the economic sphere, which is the basis of all our successes in this. opportunities for all these tasks to be fully realized, but only under we have all the possibilities, all on absolutely one condition, subject to your successful work on the battlefield, this is key. but today, we all understand this, the whole country understands this, so you see, the whole country supports you, we have gathered here today, i asked the minister to gather here leaders, commanders of various units, commanders of regiments, brigades , divisions, armies, the most distinguished behind

recently during a special military operation, and i want... to thank you personally for your courage, for your ability to command troops, i want to ask you to convey my best wishes to all your subordinates for the combat work that they do in the interests of the fatherland, and we have one comrade among us whose birthday is today, now the cameras will stop working, let me congratulate you.

conversation about what and how is happening on the battlefield, what and how is needed to do additional things to ensure that the actions of our combat units are even more successful, that tasks are accomplished with minimal losses, and that we unconditionally achieve all the tasks assigned to us by our homeland, this is what i would like to say at the beginning, is there anything to add? please, if not, then i would ask you, well, just a few words, and then we ’ll ask the camera to leave and we’ll talk in a completely free and frank manner. please, if there is anything, please. generalos, commander of 810, separate guards marine brigade of the black sea fleet. comrade supreme commander-in-chief, at the beginning of the special

military operation the number of troops - confidently my formation was 2,441 people. this is the path we need to follow, the minister and i talked about this yesterday, we need to transform,

reorganize the brigade into a division, and build all the command and control bodies accordingly, we’ll do that, yeah, i know about your brigade, it’s always in the news, thank you for your military work, best wishes to all soldiers and officers, yeah. serve in russia. so, anything else please? separate guards special purpose brigade guard colonel malykh. supreme commander-in-chief, russia has historically taken part in many conflicts and hostilities, and as they say, active hostilities are the engine of progress. our divisions have been using active drones for more than a year. uh on the battlefield, we achieved a good, great result and i do not hide the fact that - application, it often

brings down all the enemy’s attempts actively - to act on one front or another, sections of the front, but uh, as i already said, development is moving forward, uh, there is a need to consider the issue of implementation, and uh, maybe the production was of an aircraft type with fpv carriers just for drones, then there is a so -called matka aviamatka, this will increase, firstly, the range of use, and secondly, it will be both a reconnaissance weapon, a means of fire destruction, and a means of abetin control, that is, it will carry three components in one, plus everything this will increase the unit's firepower. therefore, i would like this, so to speak, direction to be developed. firstly, you just mentioned

that russia participated in many conflicts, defending its interests, and this is true, and the most significant event for us, at least for our generations, is the great patriotic war. the day after tomorrow we celebrate a holiday, victory day, i want to congratulate you. with the approaching holidays, this is what i want to note, well, in different ways, in different situations, different people talk about it all the time us, about our contemporaries, about younger generations, about young people, but when difficult times come, i remember this over the past couple of decades, such times have come for us, we all know about it, you do n’t even have to remember it, but when difficult key moments come, the russian people show their best qualities and courage and heroism, regardless of

age, this, apparently, is us in the region, this is what is happening now as part of a special military operation on the field battle, the best proof is that first of all i am addressing you, you, your subordinates, worthy of our fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers... who fought on the fields of the great patriotic war and defended their homeland, now we know about cases of courageous heroism, and this is not from case to case these cases occur, and this is on a constant basis practically and this is extremely important, this is one of the key conditions for our victory, there is no doubt about it, and as for today, of course modern means... of armed struggle are changing very much with a big speed, and if we want to be successful, we must always be one step ahead, do

we always succeed in this? probably not, we know that , and you know, this is better than anyone else, the enemy has enough of these modern means, because, because, well, the entire western community is working for our enemy, which. .. they see that russia in its present, in its present form no longer exists, they set themselves this goal, i have already said publicly, apparently they believe that in the system of confrontation that they for themselves they create, russia was a weak point, a weak link, i’m sure they were convinced that this is far from true, far from true, rather the opposite is true, but in order to be successful, we need to be... i repeat once again, our step is ahead in high technologies, and of course, those tasks that quite recently we thought so, and indeed everyone all over the world thought that could

only be solved exclusively with the help of... uh, let’s say, aviation complexes, yes, now they are being solved - with small means, but with great, with great effect, we have learned this to do, we are doing this, this concerns reconnaissance, this concerns strike weapons, this concerns many other tasks, there are a lot of them, in the rear they can be solved with the help of drones on the field on the line of combat contact. we work in different areas, there are also special research institutions, structures of the ministry of defense, in the first case i meant civil services, here, as we often say now, the so-called people's defense industry is developing, that is, to be honest, i that's when i meet those who are like this or otherwise, involved in the activities of your combat

work in... in the civilian sphere, to be honest, i myself am surprised, you know, so that we can fight effectively on the battlefield, thousands of people who do not have or have not had any connection before are thinking to military service, and acts very effectively, proactively very effectively, but of course, all this must be concentrated in a certain way, everything in a known way is laid out on the right shelves, supported at the state level, we so... at this

point, ground was used robotic complex courier, which was equipped, two of them were equipped with an automatic grenade launcher ags-17, this design, accordingly, showed itself positively, precisely for this task, the use of such equipment, specifically in assault operations , will save the lives of military personnel -

it is also possible for this equipment install various light weapons specifically for assault operations, you can also use it for evacuating the wounded, and for transporting material resources, for for the supply of food, for the supply of ammunition, it also has the ability to carry eight anti-tank mines, that is , it can mine a certain area of ​​the terrain, and also... we are thinking , with the developer, to use it as a shohitmobile, that is, there is some well, roughly speaking, they are impossible to approach and drive up to carry out a detonation accordingly. is it possible to organize mass production of such platforms and equip assault groups of units? yes, it's possible, of course, perhaps, but until recently we adapted similar, similar

devices and developed them ourselves. so we have some developments, and we will take what to hide, we will take what we see on the international market, despite all the difficulties, we still get some things that are not of the same quality and character as a heavy flamethrower system, but these are mobile things, they are also double or triple for civilian purposes, of course they are...
