president emphasized, if we do not unblock for we will not help the countries of africa, the countries of europe and the countries of asia that need exactly these food products and therefore can be unblocked in different ways, so here is one of the ways, it is military portugal will provide ukraine with about 250 million euros of financial aid, the corresponding memorandum was signed today by the prime minister of ukraine with the prime minister of portugal antonio stands during his visit to kyiv, the

people are here in place and they are alive for our task is not to get clicks, not to read more, well, especially for me personally, i have my mission . russian high-class sapsan trains can reach ukraine, deutsche welle writes about it. the trains are produced by the german company siemens, which left the russian market. the german company still has a contract with the russian railways company for the supply of 13 trains worth over a billion euros, but only four were delivered, the remaining nine trains were decided to be completed . and to offer kazakhstan or ukraine. in this way, the

russian railways got rid of the supply and service of high-speed trains. sapsan trains ran for 12 years on the most prestigious route in russia, moscow to st. petersburg, lviv announced a yellow level of danger, a powerful storm is approaching ukraine from germany, the ukrainian hydrometeorological center reported that residents are asked to avoid being near trees and billboards, as well as for tomorrow forecasters in all regions predict strong winds throughout the country an assault warning was announced, the streets of kyiv were decorated with an unusual flowerbed, the municipal services of the capital arranged a floral structure in the form of a tractor which pulls a tank, a flower bed is located near the metro station polytechnic institute, a tractor that pulls a tank has become one of the most popular online stores since the beginning of the

large-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, even at the beginning of the war there were many videos about how ukrainian farmers pull in abandoned enemy tanks with tractors and for now, that was all the news, i want to wish you a quiet evening serhii zgorets will speak as his guest oleksandr los, watch espresso news and euro espresso programs for ukrainian refugees in europe on the air of our channel, joint broadcast with atn channel, radio svoboda programs , voice of america time-time programs, inclusion of public television journalists, bbc news

ukraine and france 24 news broadcasts as well as the broadcast of the information marathon, the only news, together we are the strength, glory to ukraine we are a nation of inventive people, so i did not give up, they are quite versatile people, they can be what to do , we invent, we create highly agile high-speed scales that can go anywhere we make it work very comfortably sleep somewhere in the copy i put victory and after that delicious battalion of inventors here is our front and with you during the war the information front of ukraine fm halychyna together to victory i congratulate you today on the

express channel we will to talk about the present and future of ukrainian combat aviation, my name is serhiy zgurets, director of the defect express company , which, together with the espresso channel, strives to highlight modern military and defense trends, today we let's talk about the present and future of our military aviation, our guest is oleksandr vasyliovych los, ex-president of the state enterprise antonov, doctor of technical sciences, and today he is an officer, captain of the armed forces of ukraine, who takes care of the problems of the development of ukrainian aviation . greetings, mr. oleksandr. greetings, mr. serhiy. it is very interesting to see you . in completely different clothes because we are used to a different option and now it is extremely interesting to see how the transformation of our ukrainian army takes place first

the question concerns the fact that the ukrainian aviation is effectively repelling enemy attacks today, our pilots are successfully fighting the enemy's aircraft. at the same time, how did it happen that the russians failed to ensure dominance in the air, what went wrong with them, i give credit first of all, what went wrong this is what happened to us. this is the professionalism, dedication and heroism of our pilots, first of all, secondly, this is the wisdom of the command. if it does not sound lofty, but it is really the flexibility of thinking, this is the constant maneuvering of forces and means, not only as such aviation, but including foreign means against political defense, special operations forces, artillery, armored troops, all this in combination made it possible to avoid intercepting the initiative at least in the south, in the northwest, in the

north of our country, at that moment, the first moment of the attacks and did not allow the russians to create ground and frantic air defense systems and, of course, in the first days in the first week, it was the aviation component that played the first violin in this. i personally saw it above my head near vasylkiv airfield i personally observed air battles on the first day, so i experienced it all with my own skin. today we are talking about the fact that the number of losses of russian aircraft has already exceeded the mark of 200 aircraft. how critical are such losses for the russians? how does this affect their tactics on the battlefield? happiness, they are losing modern aircraft, we see this court 34 so-called bombers, although it is still not a bomber, such a heavy fighter well, what comes close to the f-15x is the court 35

, with all the disadvantages or advantages, it is also the su-24 front-line bombers, there are a lot of army aviation helicopters, it’s not 35, what are they called , well, in fact, it’s my 24th, that is, i’m saying. fortunately, they managed to lose a lot of modern and most combat-ready aircraft, but we still remember that our enemy is strong this should not be underestimated. and they still have a large reserve in the fleet of combat aviation equipment. that is why we cannot relax. well, we must continue to build tactics depending on, er, not only on what we have already seen. and unfortunately, the enemy is also intelligent adapts and you have to think ahead, do you analyze in detail the experience of hostilities, how does such a typical air

confrontation between ukrainian fighter jets, whether modernized or not, look like today, video with 9 and russian planes of a more modern generation, how it happens on the battlefield when we talk about more the modern generation of russian equipment is aerodynamically essentially the same aircraft as the ukrainian 127, the mig-29, mig-35, mig-35, but the on-board radio-electronic equipment is targeted aviation complex, they differ by several generations. unfortunately, our planes are still equipped with systems in the form in which soviet ukraine received a western group of troops and national aircraft. what kind of closed information, although there is a lot of it even in medicine, wikipedia but nevertheless

, i am a military man, that's why i respect the silence regime, the silence regime, what are we talking about specifically, what are the target detection ranges of such aircraft is approximately twice the target detection range of our aircraft , that is, they can see us, they can see us more from a greater distance, and their means of defeating air means of air, i will tell about them now. they are also approximately twice the range of ours, that is, the fact that our pilots manage on older radio-electronic equipment and weapons shoot down in p- win air battles - it's just me i'm proud of the fact that i belong by education at least by previous work to the air force of ukraine this it is possible while the most backward technology manages to achieve victories at the expense of tactics at the expense of tricks, at the expense of which we

succeed after all, this is a combination of military branches, this is a combination of ground means of air defense, the air component should note that there was even a scandal in the press, but already how much information is publicly available about the fact that our partners provide us with information e-e intelligence information and we do not forget that intelligence is even the first thing that provides an advantage in any in the theater of war, what is air, what is ground, that is, this combination is a combination of many factors to say that well, it is in an air battle, as they were for the honor of the first world war, when pilot to pilot, so i am, but first of all, still mine in their own space and fortunately, our pilots know their terrain and used it very, very much

again , especially in the first days. there, in groups and in those places where our air defense systems are located, we delay the enemy and destroy their system, such information is also publicly available. yes , it is true, that is, such a tact is used. and aviation, or which component is the most significant from the point of view of ensuring security in a short period of time, if we say that we need to close the air, it is impossible to single out the superiority of any component all of them are important and artillery is especially long-range artillery, which we still lack important and ground means air defense means of all levels of all echelons that is , starting from excuse me from the spike from the beech and ending with the s300s and further planes of course, as an air

component, nothing can be singled out if, for example , if you imagine a situation that, god forbid, the enemy managed to gain a foothold in such a way. what is it like now? unfortunately, they have already managed to gain a foothold in the southeast. if this happened somewhere in the kyiv region, they would be able to create their own it would be very difficult to fight in that theater, i.e., kyiv was defended because, well, first of all, it is a citadel in itself and there was already a sufficiently powerful defense system and the first weak actions of the enemy on the approaches to kyiv by ground units without their proper air defense gave us the opportunity to seize the initiative. well , again, this is the flexibility and wisdom of our command. that is, we need anti-aircraft complexes and modern fighters, or many social fighters that can perform the functions of air defense and work on ground targets , especially on ground targets, i.e. very correctly

emphasized at the same time today we have a relatively speaking fleet of soviet aviation equipment, there are their 29th and su-27, what are the prospects of this model in accordance with the requirements that the battlefield puts forward today that currently exists in our fleet, unfortunately, there is not enough, there is not enough, for what, there is not enough, for what , unfortunately, and in terms of quantity, because we are also and even about this yesterday, the president of the supreme command said more that unfortunately, we are our we suffered a lot heavy losses, primarily of pilots. you have heard about efforts to help azovstal and, of course, airplanes, and airplanes of all classes, we are talking about the su-25 and the 124, and well, no, it is clear that the 27 mm will not name the numbers. well, let's say that they are significant , that is, here we to prepare, we have lost some part of the park, some significant part of the park, and that is

why there is constant talk about the need to replenish it, and it is very wise to do what is currently immediately in that condition. samples, because the pilots still need to be fed, prepare the ground part, the ground ground-technical personnel of the maintenance station, all this still needs to be created, why and always in a timely manner, i dealt with the issue of being ready for the re-equipment of the air force, they still have eyes f 15 in 16 and now how i understand that we still need to increase the number of aviation equipment using the help of western countries, first of all along the lines of the mig-29 su-27 well, at least what is being prepared is what is being prepared and uh, the first stage we saw what was restored is being restored technical

state by supplying spare parts for the mig-29 and su-27 from our closest western countries, friends and relatives, not our brothers, they were already a-a and secondly, so it is possible to get mig-29 as soon as possible, those that can be obtained in order to already have them put into battle immediately with those pilots who are already ready, and the next stage for which we have to prepare since the day before yesterday. well, i contributed to this, which i already said is the transition to exclusively that what we can get based on reasonable considerations are american models of the fighter exterminatory bomber aviation and who is now looking for an answer to the question what do we need to replace my 29th and su-27 who is now looking for this answer is a whole circle of

experts and military scientists and economists because this is also a question of military-political military economic and it is really necessary to approach it carefully, but let's look at the situation as follows: what is the equivalent in the world of the su-27 plane, technically, i am not promoting it now, we just take technical information and appearance and so on, this is only an airplane f-15 in its various modifications 15 seeded 15 and 15 x are they more modern modifications why because the f-15 was the prototype based on the characteristics of which the su-27 was created, this is a comparison of planes now dynamic layout according to everything and the tactical and technical characteristics of that well, we in 22 we already talked about it, no one will give it because this plane is barely visible fifth generation and exists exclusively for the united states of america

. in principle, there is no other non-russian or soviet plane of this class, then the f-15 is the only option, then the mig-29 and and more more light planes mean what is f15 127 this is heavy fighters fighters bombers well 127 is not a bomber sutra court 34 135th with the possibility of reinforcement for ground targets what is going on with us next is going on mig-29 f18 f16 these are medium planes medium fighters mistakenly often them for some reason they are called light, well, by no means they are light, they are middle class light - this is the gripen and what else can be done with it, that is, in fact, before choosing between two categories, or f16 or f-15 in one or another version, the question is also wrongly phrased in roots and scientifically and practically it is wrong because well, for example, we take textbook

textbook-air, more precisely, air combined operation, which i studied at the military department, this is the distant 98th year, but already then it was already called textbook, it is storm in the desert when in cancer an echelon air defense system was created , there were 20 where the 31st already at that time had interceptor planes, soviet armored troops, and so on, and in order to enter the airspace and seize the initiative in the air what is the correct name for an advantage to gain air superiority? armadas moved in the 15th. why am i in the 15th? why not the f16? according to the armament of the nomenclature, these planes are armed. they can carry basically the same armament. there is only one question. what weight can be taken and how?

you can fly far with this, there is such a thing as the number of aircraft sorties to hit one target and the speed of hitting this target, the f-15 can take about 35% more weapons for medium-range work. and if we are already to talk about the fact that we should unblock the south-east of ukraine with you, and it is covered from the crimea s400, it is already covered in the temporarily occupied territories by the s300s and this is the radius of action of these already air defenses of approximately 300 km, well, roughly, let's say 300 km from that one range, it is already necessary to strike an f16 if it is based somewhere in our regions of ukraine .
