also under enemy fire and slobozhanskoe, there are two wounded. residential buildings of the wounded were burned in the zolochiv community and slatina in kharkov itself. our defenders are fighting intensively, and the attackers are trying to improve the tactical position in the vicinity of the city of izyum and resume the attack on slovyansk with the invaders. the enemy does not stop shelling donbas in the past day. six civilians have been killed and wounded. this was reported to the group of of the united forces, the occupiers damaged and destroyed more than 50 residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure, as well as units of the state emergency service extinguished eight fires and more than 30 explosive objects pyrotechnics were defused, it is noted that

rescuers evacuated more than 750 people from the areas where hostilities are taking place, the russian military will already be the third line of defense in the occupied south of ukraine, this was stated by the representative of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense vadym skibytskyi in the kherson region and in the occupied areas of the zaporizhia region, russian troops are actively regrouping the intelligence officer's opinion indicates russia's intention to gain a foothold in these territories, according to him, in addition to the ground forces, the group includes air and sea components of the gauleiter from zaporizhzhia region announced suspicion of collaborationism regional council deputy and former regional people's deputy yevhen balytskyi voluntarily went over to the side of the enemy. this was reported in the sbu with

investigation data. he enlisted the help of the russians. criticized the current ukrainian authorities and prepared celebrations until may 9, now he faces from 5 to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property and a ban on engaging in certain activities under the age of 15. meanwhile, the trial of two russian soldiers is ongoing in poltava oblast. we are talking about oleksandr bubokin and oleksandr ivanov. kremlin soldiers were one of the first to shell kharkiv oblast. on february 24, they were later captured. tell me what is happening in the courtroom now and whether the russians will admit their guilt. greetings , studio. at the moment, the judge has gone to the conference room to make a decision, and immediately it means the second the court session and immediately for him

will be announced later today. i hope that the verdict that these two occupiers deserved will be reminded of oleksandr babykin and oleksandr ivanov on february 24, the first of the large-scale offensives of russia on ukraine as part of the bm-21 grad e 200th separate motorized rifle brigades carried out artillery shelling of kharkiv region from belgorod region. these two are the driver and the gunner as a result . then, later, they destroyed the educational institution of the dergachev city council. these two of us stopped, crossed the border of russia with ukraine , came to the kharkiv region, but already there they were met by our armed forces of ukraine, stopped them and took them prisoner . the court where the meeting is currently held. these two, as they noted

, admit their guilt, and i suggest listening to what the prosecutor asks for as punishment and the last words of the two russian occupiers who came to fire ukraine of the alexander key, the source of oleksandr from the territory of the russian territory of ukraine, e-e, they affect the distance, not just nothing, i am completely linolen and ужаловать российской область, the comparison will be practically impossible, i tell myself, i am asking for a job, they admit their guilt and both in one voice ask me to

reduce them i will remind them of the punishment, they can serve from 8 to 12 years, respectively , for that violation, which for that, respectively for this case, so that they are prescribed at the moment. we are waiting for what the judge will say after he leaves the deliberation room what will be the verdict regarding these two invaders who shelled ukrainian territories . committing war crimes, but in mariupol the occupiers are trying to russify ukrainian children for this purpose, the invaders extended the school year until september 1, canceling the summer vacation for students so they want to speed up de-ukrainization and prepare faster for studying according to the russian program. this was reported by the adviser to the mayor of mariupol

, petro andryushchenko, the invaders plan to open nine schools, but now the russians managed to find only 53 teachers, i note that the annexation of mariupol actually began the day before, in the city they began to distribute russian passports, he said andryushchenko, no one will ever recognize the so-called russian passporting in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine, just as they do not recognize any pseudo-referendums, this was announced by the head of the european union representation in ukraine , matia-masya, he noted that the occupiers had to abandon all ideas of voting in the kherson region due to the lack of any support there, the day before kremlin dictator vladimir putin signed a decree on the simplified granting of russian citizenship to residents of the zaporozhye and kherson regions russia should immediately withdraw its troops from ukraine, german president

frank-walter steinmeier called for this, according to the politician , putin's war of aggression affects not only the people of ukraine due to the fact that millions of grain are blocked in our seaports, the world prices for it have risen sharply, the german president added that the consequences of the war in the russian federation will hit the states that have not yet recovered from the coronavirus pandemic and the regions where the soil dries up due to the climate crisis and becomes infertile, show respect to the sovereignty of ukraine, stop hostilities, mr. putin, stop the suffering and destruction in ukraine, withdraw your troops and do not give up direct and serious negotiations with president zelensky frank-walter stein mayer, the president of germany to prevent world hunger, the president of senegal and the head of the african union, makisaou plans to visit russia and ukraine , voice of america writes about this, the politician wants to discuss

with both sides the issue of unblocking grain exports, i will note that almost half of the 54 countries in africa depend on the import of wheat from ukraine. according to the united nations, some areas of africa are already facing a record level of hunger today, it is caused by climate shocks and the economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic on i am putting an end to this for today. i say goodbye to you until tomorrow. in that case, the broadcast of the espresso tv channel will continue. my colleagues and i also remind you that you can read more news on our website espresso.tv. and videos on our youtube channel, espresso.tv, subscribe to our youtube channel, like us, have a ukrainian view of the world, watch

the main and interesting thing in the program is the verdict by serhiy rudenko from monday to thursday at 1:00 p.m. repeat at 9:30 p.m. welcome to the espresso channel, we will talk about ukrainian unmanned systems and attack drones for the armed forces of ukraine through the prism of war and new combat experience, my name is serhiy sgorets, i am the director of the defense express company, which , together with the espresso channel, implements a project to inform our citizens about the main and interesting trends in the life of the army and our defense -industrial complex. of the research and production enterprise athlon avia, which manufactures serially supplies a number of ukrainian drones to the armed forces. artem welcomes you. good

afternoon , mr. serhiy. let's start with the question. in the 14th year, when due to the aggression of the russian federation, the demand was radically cut, and a great need for e-e intelligence and artillery maintenance was formed. and in fact , the company responded to such a request and having some experience in these matters. we started production and today we are already one of the leading e-e enterprises that produces unmanned systems for military use . that we had a working prototype, they allowed us to start this movement that continues to this day , the same is used today in the armed

forces, what is their special feature and what is the competitive advantage actually unmanned fury complexes are to be adopted as a reconnaissance adjuster, and this is currently the only standard means of artillery reconnaissance, which is used for the tasks of both reconnaissance and fire maintenance, that is, adjustment, if you explain to the viewer what intelligence adjustment of fire means, because i think that, of course, the average citizen hardly imagines what is the peculiarity of the application of your sample of weapons, well, reconnaissance actually consists in identifying targets and er-e determined coordination of targets er-e adjustment of fire in principle, this is already such work online and with a firing position, that is, with a battery, for example , an artillery one, when thanks to the fact that the unmanned complex, that is, the plane, the actual unmanned aerial

vehicle is in the air and observes the district firing, the operators have the opportunity to give corrections to the e-e artillery unit e-e whether they hit or did not hit any deviations in depth along the front and this allows to significantly reduce the consumption of ammunition to hit the target and also significantly increase survivability er, the firing position is actually due to the reduction of the time to hit this target, in fact, in a nutshell, this is what they look like. and how did artillery work before there were no drones, which was then the closest closest analogue in the artillery statute, in the firing rules, it was written eh shooting from a helicopter, such technologies and techniques were already used a long time ago. and with the advent of remotely controlled and unmanned aerial

vehicles, e-e. actually, this experience was adjusted and transferred to unmanned aerial vehicles that is, this well, let's say that it became some kind of uh-uh wonder for the artillery, it's unlikely, but uh, again , the appearance of an aircraft, for example, a helicopter , in the area of ​​​​the target, this is a very dangerous thing, in fact, and the risk of damage to the combat vehicle itself at a time when a small drone with a size of 2 m, for example, it is in the sky and it is not very noticeable, but it is no less effective, and thanks to this, the effectiveness of artillery increases radically , can we say if all our artillery brigades and other brigades there use your complex, yes almost all artillery brigades have our complexes because they are in the states. unfortunately, the need is not fully met, but we are

working on it and there is movement from our side as a manufacturer from the side of the general staff, that is, everyone understands that there is a need. it is gradually becoming satisfied, unfortunately , the rates of losses that we have today are, let's say , somewhat higher than we expected, but again, the company responds promptly to these challenges and significantly increases capacity. if you reported losses, then let's multiply if we can do better. to divide the period there, the 14th year there and the 22nd and the first month of these active phase hostilities, how did they differ from the point of view of the effectiveness of the use of drones and threats to drones, well , in fact, the active phase of hostilities in the east of ukraine i think ended somewhere at the end of 15 -th year and from that time on, we moved into such a trench war into a positional war, when

there were no such big battles, and that's exactly why drones were used in such a, let's say, rather arbitrary mode, and this was actually the reason what well, there were almost no losses, there were losses related to some nuances, there were problems with the training of operators, and there were losses, er, say, due to very rare er, situations with physical damage to aircraft, but still, there were no such er, such active combat operations in fact, there were no such losses as today. and what started directly from the beginning of the active phase, what did it show in the first , especially the first weeks of hostilities, the first weeks showed that it is necessary to plan a little differently and provide the troops with equipment. i think that in the principles of the command of the logistics forces completely understand this and i think that everyone has already drawn conclusions

based on the results of these three months ago that it is not enough to simply have the states completely satisfied with these or other samples, it is necessary to calculate and have reserves in warehouses that must to become a buffer e-e to ensure the continuous operation of artillery units, for example, if we are talking about artillery and they should e-e be such a damper e-e that allows manufacturers of e-e to supply and the army to constantly be able to take new complexes or unmanned aerial vehicles from the warehouse when it is needed right now uh at this moment because production is not some uh such a uh miracle when you just pressed a button an unmanned complex appeared in you and you how much you want to click, you need to have a procurement cycle, there is a

supply cycle, currently, with the introduction of martial law, with the closure of air services, we have very serious problems with the supply of components, because in previous years, because of covid, it became very difficult, and today it has become simply too much storage nevertheless, i will take a step back and try to explain to our viewers, that is, in fact, is it possible to mean that the beginning of hostilities caused certain and perhaps even significant losses of unmanned systems, the loss of systems affected the effectiveness of the execution of the task of artillery, artillery, e-e , it was impossible to buy more complexes, not because the company did not can satisfy the demand and now we are at the stage when, relatively speaking, in the afterburner mode, we have to repair what remains and quickly create new complexes and problems is that if we were preparing for war, we had to ensure the supply of unmanned systems there with a three- or five-fold

reserve so that such risks did not arise, it is absolutely correct, the only thing is that well, i think that a three- fold reserve is a bit of an exaggeration, but in that we have, uh, we should have provided 100% of the full-time need and also to create reserves adequate to those rates, e.e., the expected rate of disposal, yes, losses , and the expected rate of replenishment of these reserves. that is , we did not calculate either the first or the second, that is, in fact, we barely filled the needs, but active withdrawal the formation of the enemy of our drones. is it possible that the deterioration of this symbiosis between artillery and drones was caused by other reasons? it is absolutely correct and in principle it is quite simple logistics and quite simple calculations because in principle it is the composition of a military unit or armed forces . in general, it is the same composition for example, in the production of yaka a, which performs a fairly simple task of ensuring the continuous operation of production units, and in this case, in the units of our

army, a how many complexes before the active phase during the hostilities, you provided the armed forces with tens of hundreds, well, these were tens of complexes. but as i said, unfortunately, even the need for our complexes according to the states was not completely closed , far from being closed, not all artillery brigades and other brigades had a sufficient number of drones if we let's talk about the losses in more detail, what exactly causes the losses of your complexes on the battlefield well, let's say yes, you probably remember the story with our work with the who in the fall of the 21st year and the problems we raised then first of all, the training of operators eh, towards which it seems to me that even though there are positive developments , the

attitude is still not serious enough operator training is not as we would like to be more precise, it is absolutely not as we would like and that work in the fall of last year she showed that hmm let's say we need to change the conceptual attitude to this industry or to this let's say so under the type of er troops er to the selection of operators to the motivation of these people who are going to the training of co- instructors to the financing of the additional financing of the training center that er is engaged in this because of course we need to create conditions so that the best go there and so that people are motivated and financially er and in some other way, but unfortunately, well, it is still in

the process of this, or unfortunately the situation will be corrected because everyone understands that drones are absolutely necessary for all relatives and types of troops, and from the point of view, in a loss or not because of what our complexes hit the battlefield due to the impact of enemy fire due to the use of the enemy's means of fish, what is the most active today, from what we did not see until february 24, this is a very active physical destruction of aircraft today by an unmanned complex class e-e battlefields, fire is being conducted e by such means that we have never seen the effect of. that is, both thor and armor are more powerful. there is even information e-e that even beechs are already being shot, that is, with small aircraft drones, which should actually be expendable material on the battlefield, already uh, the occupiers are

extinguishing uh, this is such serious means in air defense uh, that's why we understand that this is, on the one hand, a problem, on the other hand , confirmation of the effectiveness of the importance of unmanned reconnaissance systems and adjusters, first of all, that's why you don't understand that if a fury appeared on you, expect an artillery strike . by the russian complex of electronic warfare radios, the resident may be somewhat comment on these videos, it is absolutely correct, this is the work of one of the units of the airborne assault troops - this is reconnaissance , the detection and destruction of the radio electronic warfare station, the resident is quite effective work, and i think that, in principle, this is such a clear example , that is, by drones it was discovered that it is located between

two hangars and a little later we will see how this target is hit and burns very beautifully . but it's great, it's so simple, a balm for the soul, it's just so precisely possible, and it's just a complex of electronic warfare radios, a resident, which is used to combat our drones , drones, in principle, it was created primarily to combat communication, that is, it is not a specialized complex for combating drones but uh, however, he also has, here we see how he loses, how, how this station burns, and in principle, taking into account its cost, i think that uh, the cost of this station is several hundred of our unmanned aerial vehicles, that is cost effectiveness lies in the fact that by having

a large number of such reconnaissance drones in alliance with artillery, we significantly increase the ability to destroy such priority targets so absolutely and again the economic component is also very important because even the loss of one or two or three aircraft for searching such a goal is justified economically, you told me about how your drones were used for er because in the zone of irpin bucha it was precisely the most difficult period of the war er and then, well, there would also be nervous components and a lack of solutions for everything else at times. but everything is equal . let's say that your artillery drones worked in tandem. tell our viewers a little about how it was. because well, i was interested. i think it will be interesting. yes, of course, when it started to be active . phase, well, the first 1-2 days, where everyone was in such a state of shock and did not understand what to do next, that is, on the one hand, hostilities began and

there was a great desire to join the work directly on the defense of kyiv on the other hand we understood that it was necessary to repair, it was necessary to restore the combat capability of the complexes, and we were somehow able to combine it, that is, in principle, we were engaged in repairs and, er, personally worked in the area of ​​hostilities, and her work on the guest house er, in ot was quite effective at the end of february, in principle, already having a lot of experience in the use of e-e, the company's specialists went out at night and worked with artillery units, destroying the enemy and quite effectively showing your calculations, which is very important that not a single plane was lost, that is, it means that the shot is absolutely important, that is, you worked together with art units, yes. and what is

the formal side, that is, monks, can private enterprises be silent, but this is a very, very interesting question, well, you understand that at that time no one particularly thought about the pro-formal side, but we made such attempts to somehow formalize our participation in these processes, but unfortunately, for some reason, we did not find a formal solution to attract us to forces and means, so we simply growing at our own peril and risk, and let's say with such a great need and invitation of the artillery units, we came and worked and i remember the result. how did you call me, serhii says, this is the situation, tomorrow our group goes on combat operations, no formal decision from the leaders of the higher there is no level, but we are leaving and will work with artillery, so you know, that is, it was like that and it was because there were no formal confirmations and we were moving at night and lying down and
