6:35 pm
this is an understandable policy. hello, last week the israeli military gained access to the tunnels of the radical hamas group in the gaza strip. to understand, this is an extensive network that extends over a vast territory. even the idf, the army of the jewish state, estimates that clearing such fortifications could take months or even years. if there is no advantage on the ground,
6:36 pm
go underground. in the history of military conflicts, different countries have often followed this tactic quite successfully. how tunnel wars are fought; large-scale ones are built strengthening, we only have the facts, you can draw conclusions.
6:37 pm
this is what it looks like, an invisible infrastructure with concrete walls and carts up to tens of meters deep, in length, like a large winding highway, underground corridors and a strategic asset, it’s hard to even believe how this horizontal empire can be built so quickly, much less used for life and war. in just a month , israeli forces destroyed 130 entrances to the underground hamas tunnel in gaza, which seems to be quite a lot, but even before the start of the ground operation
6:38 pm
american... rarely warned, there is an entire city underground, the length of the entire network is 500 km, 40 more than the moscow metro, labyrinths of gas began to be dug long ago in the 1980s on the border with egypt, the first tunnels began in the basements of the city of rafah, partially located in the palestinian sector, and partly in egyptian territory. in the same city, but in its egyptian part, the tunnels ended; smugglers used them to deliver a wide variety of goods. in the second half of 2000, when idf units left the gaza strip, but continued to control the border with egypt, the value of smuggled goods increased even more. not only food and imported goods, but also medicines and even fuel were delivered through underground passages in gas. the pipeline was installed in the area. even disassembled cars and yachts were delivered underground. later, a second network of tunnels appeared, the so -called metro-gases. essentially, secret paths that are used. hamas for
6:39 pm
the transfer of weapons, manpower and small equipment for forays into israeli territory, headquarters and headquarters are also located underground there group hospitals. first of all, analysts say, hamas uses the tunnels as protection from israeli planes. but the american publication washington post conducted an investigation and even prepared a classification of the underground network. it is noteworthy that no one wanted to sign the material. authorlegia. exists. there are three types of tunnels under the gas sector, economic, through which all the main traffic of weapons, smuggling, food and medicine goes. separately, there are paths for the top hamas leadership and tunnels that lead straight to israel, it is believed that hostages are being held there; it is reliably known that through it they kidnapped an israeli defense force soldier, gilad shalit, back in 2006. and although the story of sergeant shalit ended happily back in 2011, the soldiers were released then. this case cannot be recorded, because in
6:40 pm
exchange for a soldier, tel aviv released more than a thousand palestinian prisoners. of course, they take into account experience, of course, they understand what happened before. those operations that were, the last operation, summer lead, destroyed about 15 to 20% of the underground communications, but new ones are being created, old ones, previously destroyed, are being restored, of course , it will be impossible to detect all these holes and holes at the same time, but they set themselves the task of completely eliminating these structures, which means that israel has been drowning and bombing these structures for almost 20 years , throws explosives at these tunnels, however... continues to grow like a hydra, 2 years ago they even finished building an underground wall on the border with the gas sector, a barrier tens of meters deep, equipped with sensors that monitor any underground activity, with this army was equipped with special weapons, capable of delivering underground strikes.
6:41 pm
as an israeli official said on the sidelines of the american israel public affairs committee conference in washington, the new methods are the result of several years and investments, including funding from the us government. despite the fact that the speaker refused to tell more about the technology, he hinted that something similar is used when searching for minerals. despite the new military-industrial complex and engineering fortifications the situation has not changed radically. hamas has acquired several hundred tunnels in recent years. the cost of such engineering structures varies from 60 to 250 million dollars. depth. at least 20 m, while the dimensions do not exceed 2 m in height and one in width. and this is how an israeli resident described her impressions of the web of tunnels; she was released from captivity at the end of october. we were led to the entrance to the tunnels, we entered the tunnel
6:42 pm
and walked for several kilometers through wet mud. there's a giant tunnel system that looks like cobweb at the same time, i understood that they were well prepared, they had everything there to hold out for a very long time, and my husband... is still in the hands of hamas, now for hamas this tunnel actually plays a very important role, we see how, uh, hamas forces and how actively they use this tunnel, they come out of the tunnel, attacked several, many uh israeli tanks destroyed them, and now the code of war - we notice that uh ground forces... israel can't cope with operations because they have i don’t have enough experience in underground operations. however, hamas is not the first to use such invisible front tactics. previously, hezbollah did this during one of the previous intifat, as the arabs
6:43 pm
call their war against israel, which, by the way, began to rebuild its army for underground battles. israel began creating units suitable for the role, starting with combat engineers known as yaholom. combat engineers quickly realized that despite their technical skills and specialized equipment, even more was needed highly specialized armed and trained troops. this is how the samur weasels appeared - the first israeli teams since the tunnel war. the specialists come from the engineering forces and were trained in the method of covert attack by the command of the forces of tsayrit matkal. however, experts do not flatter themselves with the hope of fixing it. with the group in its underground world, a task almost impossible, because hamas has honed the skills of guerrilla warfare to perfection. it is difficult to imagine more difficult conditions for combat than dungeons, lack of artillery support, narrow passages, darkness and heavy air. poor ventilation
6:44 pm
makes small arms also a chemical agent. powder gases do not disappear and affect personnel. each shot sounds like thunder, a grenade explosion, even at a safe distance, threatens... severe concussion, communication problems in closed galleries also add a special flavor to combat clashes. here the example of vietnam suggests itself; it was there that the americans experienced all the delights of modern tunnel warfare. it is believed that it was in the cu chi tunnels that washington lost his battle. locals literally burrowed underground, building huge underground cities there. and superpowers equipped with the latest technology. who did not even disdain genocide in vietnamese villages, was eventually forced to leave with nothing. a network of tunnels stretching 150 km allowed the viet cong forces to deliver painful blows to the very rear of the american army. and although in 1966
6:45 pm
the americans, as part of operation crimp, discovered entrances to the underground network, they failed to eliminate the heaps. they tried in these tunnels, the effectiveness was quite low mortality rate, unfortunately, for military personnel of the united states, america. high, that is, somewhere going underground, up to 50% of the personnel did not return, despite the fact that they also took explosives with them, tried to do it, barriers, rubble, the americans poured into the tunnels, the notorious agent even created a combat tunnel unit rats, however, bravely two meters long... tiara glasses simply got stuck in these same tunnels, because the width of such a path rarely exceeded 100 cm, as well as
6:46 pm
the height. the viet cong dug tunnels in several levels, placing them on top of each other and connecting them with narrow passages. the tunnels went 20-25 m deep, turning into underground cities. hospitals, training camps, warehouses, barracks, kitchens, and printing houses were located on different floors. the partisans kept a lot of captured weapons in their weapons warehouses. according to legend, they once managed to hide an american battle tank in their dungeon. homemade anti-personnel mines were created in primitive forges; the partisans had enough drinking water and food, in order to lead a relatively safe existence for months, ventilation shafts were located in the dungeon, providing the communists with fresh air. volunteers became tunnel rats; their main qualities were short stature, quick reaction, courage , psychological stability, and the function of penetrating labyrinths and clearing them of partisans. tunnels with traps in the tropical
6:47 pm
jungle were fraught with a lot of deadly surprises, but go figure out where the underground passage will lead, to a weapons depot or an ambush. tunnels they were very narrow, and one had to crawl or squat along them, and in complete darkness and stuffiness. in addition to the partisans themselves, rats crawling through dark holes were met with numerous surprises. stretch marks, poisonous sorpions and snakes, pits, traps with spikes, introductory labyrinths. the use of american underground special forces cannot be called successful: high mortality among rats, nervous breakdowns, unmotivated aggression, and most importantly, these units were never able to destroy or at least undermine the activities of underground bunkers vietnamese. the shelter was dug, as they say throughout the world, most of the tunnels were dug by ordinary peasants using matyk and korazim. the technology was simple, one digs, another drags the earth to a vertical shaft, a third goes under... it up, and another takes it further away and hides it under leaves or in the river. the height of the underground passage is one and a half meters, and
6:48 pm
the width is 1.2 m. it is half three times smaller than those in gas. level, and there were three or four of them, separated by secret hatches, a stranger would not guess that this is not a dead end, the entrance to the next tunnel leading to infirmaries, kitchens, workshops production of weapons bedrooms. there were also cinemas and study rooms, because sometimes entire villages descended underground. the echo of that shameful war for washington is unforgotten... today, even 5 years ago, the media actively wrote that the united states was preparing for underground battles and planned to allocate more than half a billion dollars to the pentagon to train the military in new tactics. 3/4 of the us army ground forces, 26 brigades out of thirty-one available, will be trained in underground combat. they plan to spend 572 million on the new program dollars. the command declares that the next war will be fought in megacities; soldiers must be able to navigate the city's underground communications, they need new equipment and skills to
6:49 pm
fight in complete darkness, stale air, to protect themselves from enemy fire waiting around every turn, wide as streets tunnels, writes militaricom. vietnam , north korea, afghanistan - these are the places where the american military has already encountered tunnel warriors; they can lose, but again, of course, they don’t want to, so the next steps are quite logical from the main thing, to destroy. in 2018 , darpa launched the subterran challenge to train first responders by exploring man-made tunnel systems, urban subways, and natural cave networks. that same year , the underground warfare training center was built at fort breck, north carolina. it is built on site 68 and has over a kilometer of tunnels with tight spaces and unexpected elements. in 2019, the us army issued another doctrinal document on the topic of underground
6:50 pm
warfare. it indicated that there are more than 10,000 tactical tunnels in the world and underground structures will be increasingly used in modern armed conflicts. you can’t do without the theme of afghanistan separately, because there are also natural barriers, mountains, which is worth only the panjer gorge and its mountain range 120 km away. for almost 5 years, the fortieth army of the ussr tried to take the impregnable natural fortress. the petil gorge, as the name is translated, had an important strategic meaning, because it is the only one. route for road transport from the capital kabul to the north of the country, and although the ussr forces were able to briefly take control of the territory, as a result the army was forced to retreat. 30,000 soviet soldiers took part in the operation, but how many died has not yet been determined. in general, official losses in afghanistan are 15,000 people. the command, as
6:51 pm
a rule, does not plan to let serious units under attack. ground, because they will run into a huge number of booby traps, branch tunnels, that is conditionally, special false branches are made, the group goes there, some kind of device works there at the end, so to speak, the entrance collapses and just a group of people remains walled up inside, just as in narrow corridors any effectiveness of such a modern army, which has the possibility of air support, long-range impact on the enemy, the use of heavy... equipment and some other underground systems - this is actually either hand-to-hand combat or very short fire contact at distances of up to 10 m, if tunnels at all allow such a length, they usually wind, so at any stage there you find yourself exposed to the enemy, there, simply speaking, if you shoot in a small tunnel with a machine gun or a grenade launcher, you
6:52 pm
will destroy almost everyone there, if you just move with some kind of shields, for sudden attacks from underground, the dushmans used a network... created many years ago for irrigating fields, such communications stretched for hundreds of kilometers and could have several levels. groups spirits, sometimes 30 people suddenly attacked soviet units and also suddenly disappeared. an extensive network of tunnels helped them quickly and, most importantly, quietly move over long distances and get close to sabotage targets, especially roads along which soviet military equipment passed. there was much more in kyaryz. than in the vietnamese catacombs, but they also posed a mortal danger. now imagine that on the territory of afghanistan, there are about 7,000 such wells , sometimes located every 20-30 m, ideally so that not only hide, but attack. in the bogram valley, general lebed recalled, only two grenade launchers could have caused enormous damage to our columns. yes, in a couple
6:53 pm
of salvos, the dushmans were hiding underground in kirizy, and it was useless to compete with them underground. finally, let us remember the feat of our ancestors, from may to october 1942 , up to 13,000 people lived on the territory of the adzhimushkai quarries near kerch, the impregnable quarries and the indomitable people in them became the main irritant for the nazis in this territory, the defense of the dungeon lasted from may to october 1942; after 169 days , only 14 people were captured alive in the quarries at the end of october. search engines compare the defense of the adzhamushkai quarries with the defense of the brest fortress, but little is still known about the suffering of the participants in the defense: there were few survivors, the archives were not found, and the personal belongings of the victims are either under the rubble or stolen by black diggers. at one point, only 60
6:54 pm
armed partisans kept an entire regiment of nazis at bay, confident that in the dungeons at least 2,000 soldiers are hiding. to fill up the tunnels, the germans used aerial bombs weighing 250 kg and gassed people. a long, exhausting war, such forecasts of experts on the conflict in the gas sector are, of course, sad, in underground battles, in principle , there are no winners, because civilians are often hiding in the same tunnels, and a bomb, phosphorus rockets or gas, they don’t ask whether they are radicals or educators in kindergarten. i hope... now this will be clear to you too, happily, on the initiative of the head of our state this institution was created and indeed
6:55 pm
yes, we started in 2021 in the month of january, we literally started with three. to formulate programs and finalize regulatory documents, today we are working fully, let’s say, in 15 areas, on the basis of our educational and laboratory building, there is quite a good interest among our younger generation of our youth in this institution, well, considering , that today there are certain, let’s say, more benefits, so the guys already understand this... educational trajectory, educational process we have, let’s say, a month, 24 days, we have a shift, there are 10 such shifts in the academic year, september to june. and the program is designed for 72 hours, the guys undergo training in their laboratories, in their own areas , today we
6:56 pm
have 15 such areas, as i already said, this is a block of natural sciences, a block of information technology, and a block of engineering and technology, and various, let ’s say , there are competitions, the average competition we have is about a little more than three people per place, but it reaches up to 11, this concerns information technology, security, today the state does a lot for our youth, in particular, even such a unique institution for gifted youth, so today they have a lot of opportunities, and if they successfully entered the national children's technology park, completed the appropriate training, successfully defended their project, that is, we have project activities in national children's technology park, that is, a certain benefit today in accordance with the rules for entering a higher educational institution, that is, having received a recommendation from the supervisory board, and a student who has successfully completed the training, he
6:57 pm
can be enrolled without interview exams in higher educational institutions, in the profiles of technical technology, and natural science, the range of specialties, say , has been developed and approved throughout the republic by the ministry of education, every shift there is a project defense, it can be group or individual, and promising projects ... today we are forming such, let’s say, the best 100, because over the entire existence of our institution there are more than half a thousand different projects of the guys, well, the level is of course different, as i already said, the most promising, they are being formed today, they are different, they are in the field of agriculture, construction, industry, let’s say there and sampling, there are interesting projects that today are not applicable in production, including for drones, also various aerial photography, then appropriate processing of these materials is done and we can see how
6:58 pm
to cultivate this or that field in the future, relatively speaking, it may be necessary to make a millioration somewhere, today we see that the level of these guys is quite high, they are really already in the future there will be professionals in their field, that’s why i said an educational trajectory, but we are working to successfully implement... a professional trajectory, to bring it not only for a higher educational institution to a higher educational institution, but in the future, i already said to the first worker places, i believe that it is very important today for our state and for every organization, to see this gifted child today, and tomorrow, this may be your potential employee, who, i am sure, will be of the highest class. people who have achieved success, they often seem ideal to us, but what is in the souls of these people, do they know the feeling of devotion,
6:59 pm
gratitude, the feeling of homeland in the end, or is it something else, they decided that the homeland is bought and sold, i lost everything, yes, i i was rich, and now we are performing, all the money goes to housing and food, but this is a trauma. immigration, this is a serious trauma, friends, there are graves there, parents, work, well, that’s all, if the latvian economy is heading to the bottom, who would want to live in such a country, in a country where there is nowhere to work, in belarus without visas, belarus receives guests with love and friendliness , more and more people from the european union are coming to us who want to stay with us, the author’s project of ksenia lebedeva is different, episodes on tv channel belarus 244.
