well, along the entire length of our front, it is not used to destroy rocket munitions, but complexes of short and medium-range targets are used for this, and again, if we talk about it, then the same anti-aircraft missile gun the pan-sers-1 complex, which everyone does not know very well, it can be used precisely for these needs, and also , again, it is different, such complexes as the tunguska shilla and others. possibility destroy this munition because well, it is the minimum er the minimum probability that it is possible to do that is why m31a 1.2 and the modifications are quite effective or for use a-a for today m 142

armed forces of ukraine have artificially these are units these are tens of units - these are not tens of batteries - this is artificial artificially we use imagine what would happen if we had today, for example, 10 or 20 batteries exactly m-142 himers and besides, we have now exactly m-142 but there is also a modification m200a70 based on bradley a and they use launchers installations not for six rocket munitions, but already for 12, and there you can place more than one tactical missile, e.e. gmt camps, namely two tactical missiles , that is, much more fire damage, and that is why we have not received them yet, and when we do, that is, it will be even more fire damage today, we can point out that even these few units of a m

142, which are not really a peak indicator, but they have already destroyed the management system and the support system of the advanced russian a-a units of their occupation forces on the donbas bridgehead. now, on the kherson bridgehead, we are watching the destruction of the management and support systems, that is, what will happen next. when this number increases , moreover, any counter-battery actions are really ineffective today, but we have a lot of them. -e systems are artillery systems, but we also have barrel artillery from our international partners panzer howitzers e m 777 sout caesar self-propelled guns m109 fh70 and what is most interesting is what are they

they use ammunition. that is, we are now using ammunition that the russian occupiers can only dream of, for example, smart is, for example, a bonus , and the 155 caliber is exactly this ammunition - you fired a shot and you even forgot. you do not adjust this fire somehow, because it is a smart ammunition he himself chooses his target, he himself destroys the object one hundred percent, it is impossible even to run away from him, it is impossible to disguise himself. the occupiers today use exactly these munitions, and that is why we are now really seeing the superiority of high-tech and high-tech weapons over the fact that the russian occupiers have done something to themselves over all these years of excess profits from

oil and gas with soviet weapons, the quality of which was modernized, they modified something with it there they made and called it having no analogues in the world, but in fact it is not like that, their ttx is an anachronism of the soviet era, that 's the case, well, look now, in principle, it is noticeable on e-e and russian social networks and their such to the statements of various military experts, who are simply fighting hysterically for the third day now with screams, how long will this continue, where is our miracle weapon that should impress all of them, although, well, realistically , we all understand that uh, western weapons that have not even been installed well, roughly speaking, well, 50% of what was promised and that well, as if as planned before delivery, even this is not there yet. it’s just a pittance so far, in fact, er, can we say that at all? well, there has already been some er, well, a change or

at least the suspension of this shaft of fire which were returning to organize the russian troops because they were advancing on severodonetsk and lysychansk precisely because they were following the tactics of well there, massed artillery strikes, just the use of artillery even against small groups of infantry well, there literally against individual trenches, well, in general, mass bombardment and now this began to work artillery that came to us, is it possible to say what kind of breach or has it not yet happened viktor what do you think, well, actually, that's what they call a working pause, but in fact, an operational pause is when you was walking and then stopped was driving and when you were walking and then you got a jaw, you lie down, it’s called, well , an operational pause, by the way, actually, something like this is happening now

. only the supply lines and the headquarters are already under such conditions to carry out an active offensive from the psychological level of the offensive, take the big cities and the slavic kramatorsk federation is a big place. well, you can try again, but it will be only the losses will be very painful, although the russians did not stop, but i don't think that they will be able to do that until they understand or think that they have understood how to actually counter these blows. well, they will try to hide it somehow the headquarters, i don’t even know how they will try to do it. moreover , ukraine will receive no new weapons in the meantime, but they will try. i am sure that they will try to avoid it one more time. regardless of whether they will find a solution, simply because yes

the russian military machine is working but it seems to me that if they really don't look like something very new, some new strategy during this war, the first time when they, uh, the first strategy was actually when they tried to occupy the largest possible territory of ukraine as quickly as possible, despite the fact that it was simply dangerous for their troops, and when they simply interrupted on the roads with large columns and this lost them , for example, in the kyiv region under time worked, for example in the kherson region, it is further limited let's say this is spacious a-a now they had a change of tactics, they changed the tactics on the soviet cutting ukrainian positions in a ball of fire eh and it also bore its fruits, now the house must try again to change this, but i am not sure that there is already

an option that can be changed so that it is effects, and maybe they will be something. maybe they will try to throw meat, maybe they will try to conduct a general mobilization and throw meat in the event that a large amount of meat will decide how stalin said, er, the number of self-made things and the quality of this, but so far i don't see that they will die to try. well, they will definitely try to grope in the direction of slavic kramatorsk in different places from different er, well, from different positions, they will search simply vulnerable, the most vulnerable place is this. obviously, we all understand this and they will continue to try to suppress the artillery, this is also understandable, but against the background of the fact that, after all, now their forces are apparently more or less concentrated around of kramatorsk sloviansk, here is the statement of the minister of defense oleksii reznikov in an interview with the british newspaper for the times that president

zelenskyi gave an order to the ukrainian military to bathe where to occupy ukraine. i wonder why this statement could appear in the first place. so how much such an attempt to go in the direction of the south can be profitable and justified. what do you think, mr. kovalenko oleksandr, do you hear me, if we talk about this statement, it really is quite uh, it may seem strange because well, it is clear that the armed forces of ukraine will liberate the entire territory of ukraine in accordance with the internationally recognized borders of 1991 and there is no need for any separate order to carry out these counteroffensive actions. even if we

look at the situation that has been unfolding for the past month and a half in kherson oblast, we will observe exactly the obvious a-a counteroffensive actions that took place, some populated areas of the village a-a the armed forces of ukraine are advancing in the kherson region to the north in the north-eastern, north-western and western directions from kherson, and indeed, namely, those blows that are being inflicted on the warehouses , control points and impuncts - this is directly a phenomenon that concerns control and social actions. why is this necessary, in my opinion, in the first place, it is a it was for it was said for the readers of the times for the readers of the english-language press specifically for consumers of information e english-speaking a-a cluster of the segment of the information space and secondly, it is already for the

russian segment so really in my opinion this there was such a soft format, and the ultimatum was a soft ultimatum, it was a warning that you can do of your own free will before it's too late and run away from the kherson region, because we will start contour offensive actions there that you will not be able to prevent in any way because we see that they are really having problems now, and with offensive ones where they have an advantage in numbers, this is the donbas bridgehead, and these offensive actions will gradually move to defensive actions, they will try to hold the captured territories and then they will come to the third stage of the stage, that is, retreat, that is, they will flee. and now we are talking about the kherson bridgehead, where they do not have such a resource, and the number of their advantages is the same as on the donbas bridgehead. and they are currently

in the phase of the second stage, namely, they are trying to carry out defensive actions and to block the offensive actions of the armed forces of ukraine, that is, they are very close to retreating, they are very close to fleeing, now this is the phase, this is exactly this period of time, it is much less than at the donbas bridgehead. and in general, it is really south it is the resource that will initiate more intensive counteroffensive actions also on the donbas bridgehead, because the liberation of zaporizhzhia oblast is the liberation of kherson oblast, and this is an incentive for the liberation of luhansk and donetsk oblasts due to the liberation of another resource of the armed forces of ukraine, which can be concentrated and used already on to another bridgehead without concentrating on the liberation of others, i.e. zaporizhzhia oblast and

kherson oblast, it is now really diverting and on itself a very large amount of resources of the armed forces, which it could be used in kharkiv oblast as well as luhansk oblast and donetsk oblast, and that is why the release of the rooster is necessary for the further liberation of donbas . in principle, we have to look at the fact that there is constantly some kind of rotation, some kind of movement, uh, the same situation around kharkiv, when just in the north of kharkiv, the russians managed to advance because they thought that with such a distracting maneuver but nevertheless they advanced in reality they are trying to advance

but it is not so much a question of some uh-e large- scale offensive aimed at capturing either the kharkiv region or the individual city of kharkiv. and in the eastern direction from the city. and why? because they now need to provide a security buffer there for a very important logistical artery, namely vovchansk kupyansk velikiy burluk and raisin, that is, this logistical artery, although it is not some kind of basic, but very important precisely in terms of the supply of personnel, forces and means, namely , to the izyumsk location, from where offensive actions are being prepared in the direction of aslavyansk, if the armed forces of ukraine implement a sufficiently effective counteroffensive in the northern and northeastern direction, for example even if there is no

deoccupation in the near future, for example vovchansk or the same kupyansk but if these population points are already this logistical artery will be in the range of our artillery not only jet astbolnoy, then this will be a very big problem, precisely in terms of logistics , especially in terms of the supply of e weapons, and therefore today we can say that they are primarily trying to gain a foothold there to ensure this security buffer, and offensive actions are again a matter of resources. they are trying, but even today blocking the armed forces as an offensive action is quite effective. therefore, it is not a question of some kind of large-scale occupation of the entire region, some kind of option 2.0. well, you know, not less, for example, around dementiyvka, which is there from the north of kharkiv, because it is already close and there are quite large losses. well, what can i say, there is

a lot, they are carrying out such large artillery attacks, the russians, uh, all the points that uh, well, let's say so around kharkov, if you look like this from north to south, uh, which were deoccupied by the ukrainian army, now the russians have practically repelled it, can we call what is happening there also some kind of offensive or counteroffensive by the russians, uh, i'm curious, viktor, what do you really think of me the story there is just very short, there was a lift, but they can take offensive actions there directly, satisfying all the needs of the territory of the russian federation, that's why they don't press there , why, why, why don't they press there, if they don't have such a problem there with the same supply they can do there in them it makes sense to press there this or the first distracts the troops should really reduce the threat of the artery from

kupyansk to raisin e railway arteries i mean that's why they all do there just in them there is no personal problem, but it is necessary to understand that this is a problem for them, only they will move a little, a little, at least as much as the initial one . well, i don’t know there is some kind of insufficient number of our forces there, they are purely infantry, that’s what is the main problem in the russian border , uh, he is, uh, god, if we don’t actually endure hostilities and attacks on the territory of russia the federation is very active, so this will simply not work in the near future, but the question is that this is not the

main direction. about whether the ukrainians will have to pay taxes in the eastern direction, well, actually go in the direction of the ukrainian tendency and whether the russians should stay there, they can still press on kharkiv from the north, but what is the point of them not trying to take kharkiv there this is an attempt to simply sew additional pressure if the main pressure is turned off, then additional pressure will not be needed in fact, well, fight again in other directions to win in other directions and sooner or later the russians will simply lose any sense of trying there, these somewhere in the area of ​​e- it's more fun to show in yours. and in general, the crossing of the rooster. that is, we will eventually return to the question of the slavic kramatorsk, that is, uh, and you know , you can say that the protection of this area, uh,

can be successful, unsuccessful there, and so on. but the question is that there needs to be some sort of counterattack, not as a defense, but to what extent is it realistic, alexander, what can you say about this? in general, i want to focus on two big battles that will really take place in the near future . ah, well, at least in the short-term perspective. this is really the battle for the south and the battle for belasovyansk. and why are they different? and why should we pay attention to them, because the liberation of the south is not only uh-uh, we get uh- e resource e-e exactly of the armed forces of ukraine units of the armed forces of ukraine which we can concentrate on the donbas bridgehead and also the opportunity to implement low a-a let's say tactically strategic actions that will have an impact in the

future on the development and rather the end of the war in the whole i mean the exit to the borders with the temporarily occupied crimea, the beginning of strikes already directly on the military infrastructure, also on the temporarily occupied crimea, and on the structure of the russian occupiers, and the ultimatum regarding the kerch bridge, which is very they often said, that is, these are the points regarding the donbass bridgehead directly, and in slavyansk , the biggest battle will be near slavyansk, as i already said, it is the confrontation between the defense of the tank units of the russian occupiers and against the tank defense that currently exists in this area of ​​the ukrainian armed forces precisely during this battle will be destroyed, i am not afraid of such an analysis, even a very large number of still combat-capable

, really combat-capable and more or less effective heavy equipment of the russian invaders will be destroyed. they concentrated in the area of ​​raisin in the direction of slavyansk, they concentrated it for several months immediately after raisin was occupied. they began this saturation and accumulation of this very technique of tank and armored units, and therefore, if this group of troops of the russian occupiers is destroyed near slavyansk, in general, we can say that they are losing their a-a armored advantage over the armed forces of ukraine from or one of the advantages understood what it was in general when voting these ratings and when others brought this to the top, what they said first of all was that the russian federation has the largest

number of armored units, the largest number in the world. well, they are advancing - only the united states and china in some positions were inferior in terms of the number of self-propelled artillery tanks and other things. now this potential is untapped in ukraine for almost the fifth month by almost 50%. after the battle near slavyansk, it will be unoccupied by another 20-25%, i have read that i am sure of this, so we can talk about a really very serious big break in the course of of this full-scale war, because we will regain control over the level, we will destroy the largest number of their armored units on the donbas bridgehead in the slavyansk region, and the russians will no longer have enough resources . defensive therefore, it can be said that these two battles are the most likely to be the beginning of the end, not

so much i will even say and the war in ukraine and the beginning of the end of the russian federation itself, in general, to talk about the exhaustion of this resource well, if now they are not trying to advance with a big front, they are not fighting such, you know, big battles, by and large , that is, the attack on slavyansk and kramatorsk, well, this is a very precise thing, after all, and uh, even the old one is enough for this of the equipment that they have preserved somewhere, uncanned a little more, i.e., are these estimates too optimistic, what do you think, viktor? well , in fact, they are not. because, again, the question is not only in the technique and in the final questions. in logistics, first of all it is very difficult to specifically ensure the queue and logisticians, because of course you can remove with your own storage

some 100,000 members of tanks that are put into motion by the joint force of the driver's own mechanics, but the question is how you will ensure the supply of the same shells, how will you settle the supply of fuel and lubricants, how do you provide the actual spare parts, and this is where the russians can have big problems, why i think that, for example , mobilization and he may not help in this situation simply because and if and what to shoot from and how in general, it is a problem to launch these tanks right away. when you have the same barrels destroyed, your problem does not start with the amount of equipment, but with how you will start this equipment. that is why i do not really think that the russians will greatly help you by removing from conservation a large amount of old soviet equipment, because this is again a palliative in this situation

, it is necessary. they already need to reach some quality. they could actually help their own bear , but who can get it from? well, here is a big question. there is something in china to borrow checks for drones, but again , it will not be effective, it will not be powerful, so now really, well, i do not know, i am careful in the forecasts in terms of context, but i am sure that the offensive capabilities of the russian troops have now very rarely fallen and i do not see a reserve with which they can be increased , now they are still capable of inflicting artillery damage on us as it was during the last month , eh, is this also eh history that well, it will go into the past, that is, the nearer time, that is, what do you think , literally there by the minute, rate me affection this is because today on the battlefield for

those who are there, i think, well, the key question is, in principle, because this is what creates the biggest problems for the ukrainian armed forces, this constant shelling is huge, oleksandr, the intensity will of course decrease both on the front line and in almost all it will remain a threat to front-line cities, villages, settlements, especially mykolaiv, kharkiv, indeed. that they will continue until this distance is increased, that is, until the enemy is pushed back to a greater distance from these cities and along the front line, it will also happen. during the day they decrease or will not remain but decrease.

that is, we have a difference when at some location there were 140-150-200 artillery and rocket fire per day, and then it decreased to 100 to 80 to 70 firepower per day, that is, the decrease shelling is recorded, but there are fewer of them, that is, less probability that there will be victims, victor and your forecast literally also a minute like her, what will really happen, there was dignity, they say that the force is getting smaller, the problem begins again with drones, as i already mentioned and again arta is also not limitless russian but it is not limitless the resource was created by limitless and when the warehouse is affected, there is a problem with replenishment, so yes, this crazy connection of theirs we have not yet completely eliminated, but the possibilities of its application among russians have decreased and this for the good, i.e. we suddenly had such a quiet break here. it's a pity that one month earlier,

for example, boxing helped us, for example. should we keep the luhansk region, but it's better than nothing, we will win it back anyway, we will take away this car as long as it is russian everything is correct. thank you, er, these were chronicles of combat operations. oleksandr kovalenko , military political observer of the information project of the resistance, viktor tregubov, er, captain of the armed forces of ukraine. well, thank you for your attention . stay with espresso. we will meet in a week. events, the most important events, events that are happening right now and affect our lives, of course, the news feed reports on them, but not enough is known about what is happening, you need to understand antin berkovsky and invitations, experts soberly
