of the, this is the, the, the news coming to live from berlin. ukraine says it has developed a weapon, able to strike targets deep inside russia. presidents lensky makes claims about a new capability, apparently, referencing a recent attack was damaged several russian military transport planes. 700 kilometers from ukraine's board. also coming up, the military coup in gap on has led to the country suspension from the african union. now the post leaders main rivals, want the one to 10 power back to civilians. we get the view from composition,

spokes person in the put it and germans are worried about their economy and that could have knock on the backs for the favor and fortune of the political parties suit themselves to gain or lose from the countries altering outlook. the hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. since russia launched as war and ukraine, keith has been pushing as western allies to supply ever more advanced military equipment. but in a video address on thursday night, ukrainian president beloved may as landscape boasted of what could be a game changer. a long range weapon made in ukraine, which soleski claims has hit a target 700 kilometers away. of all the present rarely comments on ukrainian attacks inside russia, he appeared to elude to

a devastating strike earlier this week attacked damage several military transport planes in the western region of golf. roughly 700 kilometers away from the ukrainian border weapon. with that range could potentially put moscow within striking distance, raising the stakes as keep tries to bring the war home to russians. so what kind of weapon could keep him up its sleeve? i put that question to military analyst. marina knew wrong. well, it could be a drone, so there are a couple of weapons that would come in question. the 1st one is being the u. j. 22 drain, which is a long range drive in which has been allegedly used on this on the strikes was in moscow. the 2nd row in is the so called be withdrawing, which has even a longer range. so it's up to 1000 kilometers. so there are 2 to potential

candidates, and then there is a 3rd driving which experts try to identify in the strikes or moscow. however, a little is known about that through a drone, but we already have to good options which would fit the descriptor. or russia, of course, is continuing to bombard ukrainian. you ukraine with hitting targets all over the country. how is ukraine under these conditions able to develop sophisticated weapons as well? it is difficult for ukraine to do so, and it is indeed a miracle does the russians still haven't found the factories, whereas those drones are being produced? apparently as a b with writing has been in design for several years, but it hasn't been used until the russian invasion of ukraine. now the one thing would be operation security, which is very good. the other thing would be probably as a risk, some support when it comes to driving design,

as well as spare parts needed to make so straightens. so we, we really don't know, but it could be that in ukraine is getting some support when it comes to development. and when it comes to production of such drains, the cranes military intelligence chief is claiming that the attack on call so far into russian territory was actually carried out from russian territory. what do you make of the, as well, would have to understand that this were also has an informational dimension. and i think, given the political city ation after the attack, the russian side has claimed that the west was involved in helping ukraine to conduct that attack. specifically, the baltic states, which would have been used as a launch platform for the driver. and therefore, it might be a way to confuse the russians and to take responsibility away from any supporters

of ukraine. this is why it's important to say ukraine has the capability it has its own drones ukrainian made the west has nothing to do with that. and the attacks have been launched either from the board during regents or from russia to lead russia astray because the ukrainian side, obviously doesn't want to give out the launch positions from where it would be launching. threatens to strike the russians because it's easy for the russians because on the reverse engineers on track where is that you creating and sort of launching the threats from and then turned on their electronic warfare systems. and ukraine scored some success there in destroying those russian transport planes in call. do you think? we'll see more of that moving forward as it is a possibility, given the price of drones, they're much cheaper than using missiles. ukraine doesn't have any long range

missiles or at least those that would fit to bill. therefore, the use of drones is both efficient. it doesn't thrift the loss of human life from the ukraine inside. it also removes and your responsibility from the western backers, because you are ukranian made drones. i used according to ukrainian sources, and it is much cheaper than um, sending something like a storm shadow missile, which would cost um $3000000.00 us dollars was a potential political fallout. so i think given the fact of the contra offensive is going slow leak, we might be seeing more attacks like that or in a thank you very much. that was maureen and me wrong with kings called each one. thank you for having me now to double in. well, central africa, the african union has suspended the country's membership after military officers seize power there on wednesday, the military has closed the boarders and name. the chief of the republican guard is

not the things aren't really looking like that right now. the leaders of the crew have announced that general bruce in grandma will be sworn in is transitional president, next week the support that of course not as i said, we cannot question. therefore, we do not questionnaire every state they are making right now. that is actually why the, i don't, those 23 is a about to have a meeting. they have cold and so sort of a civil society, the cold, the president of your position and to, to, to have a meeting and to discuss about the next step of the position regarding the situation or even contact with the hunter at the moment with the, with the people who have led the crew, the military leaders who are now in control of the country, are you in dialogue with them up to now we have not received the news with nation

any goals um, but we will thing they all going to do that because they called yesterday, the businesses that the businesses in mississippi was fixing to be businesses yesterday. and we believe that they are going to do the wrong tour of all the all the deal positions is the start of the, the civil society, the religious group. um, to have a discussion with them. so we will thing in the nearly nearly hours or days that they are going to come to us and discuss with us. so you're hoping that your candidates will be put in charge as an off opposition group. you called on the international community to put pressure on the phone to to, to hand bout power back to civilians and effectively your alliance. do you see that happening any time soon? we can see that happening because we believe that government has shown the um

uh, a site of the population of dublin has shown the sight of them showing that they want to have liberty. they want to have democracy. therefore, i believe that the military can see that if they don't follow the wheel of government needs the population of companies, they might have them against them. therefore, they have to work to make sure that the democratic signing of going be placed back, that the we would be happy that they would fill out all of the presidency. and now we want to work on government. therefore we need to move. so we took an over, so that was all the prior to the all the plans that missed on those the and medium via positions had we can walk on this and did go on a better side, the happiest i it's miss tanya. thank you very much for speaking with us. that was
