and the evacuation company of the division, that is, even the repair of the non-restorative battalion in the division does not exist, all these problems have a very serious effect on the situation, the enemy is forced to evacuate huge quantities of damaged weapons to places where repairs are carried out, or to do something by attracting repair bodies here. we saw on one at one of the exercises before the war, when the russians formed in the area of ​​the same mulina that you mentioned, the repair, not the recovery train, which was moving into the area of ​​belarus, is on trainings, he seems to have carried out some measures for the repair and restoration of equipment, which have a huge impact on the problems with the restoration of equipment, because the russians are cut off from the supply of electronics, that is,

if the equipment in the tank burns out, there is a football calculator, a team device or a remote controller, it is increasingly difficult to restore it in times or the elemental base is currently available, the last visit of mr. putin is an attempt to fill this niche in some way, but as far as western sources report, nothing has been agreed upon, nor was it possible to to expect the restoration of more or less simple weapons with mechanical damage , but the repair of such complex systems as anti- aircraft defense equipment, radar stations, aviation technology is complicated by many indicators to the level that it is impossible to understand

the use of such equipment by our troops. us in a larger formation or on horses if someone gives them them, you mentioned that there is not enough russians now tactical commanders at the level of a company commander, a platoon commander, but on the other hand, there is an impression that the number of generals who lead offensive operations is increasing and increasing . influence on the organization of the process of managing the russian troops, russian generals, quite interesting characters, commanded the vast majority of battalions and regiments during the second chechen campaign, necessarily visited syria practically all of them but the russian operation is interesting

because at the first stage, when they invaded ukraine from three directions, the operation did not have a single leadership headquarters, the tasks of the army commanders were given directly from moscow, it is not known who managed the piracy. the president of the russian federation probably wanted to have a personal winner's laurel for himself, but when the winner was offered responsibility for rights instead of a laurel, a general was appointed as the head of the operation dvornikov, who is the commander of the troops of the southern military district in rostov-on-don, and it seems that after the escape of the russians from kiev, he took over the command from the chernihiv sumy region, it was

logical, but during his short stay at the post of the head of the operation, he was not able to achieve any such significant results except how to destroy the foundations to the foundations, the end was moved to the side, the character of the colonel general appeared , this character is the deputy minister of defense, the head of the main department of military and political work, somehow, his position on the one hand, the appointment is called since may, because the commissar is in charge of the operation, on the other hand, by education, tankist has completed the appropriate combat path to the team in the official scheme of the district, accordingly, he has the necessary theoretical and practical training. but it seems to me that this appointment is due to the fact that the military needed a strong political voice that will be heard in the russian political system, and therefore

this official is located somewhere in the kharkiv region, from where he leads the troops. milkaol character of the general is raw material the commander of the military and space forces is a strange decision in general. it seems that you wanted it to end. he is leading the troops in the southern direction when i started to understand. were carried out by having three groups, the northern , central and southern, that is, by capturing, for example, the mountain villages and, if i am not mistaken, the golden kissing

commanders of the spanish central military district in the russian federation, i am a lieutenant colonel, that is, the task that a battalion commander should perform was carried out by the commanders of the district troops, for which he became a hero of russia, his merits were highly appreciated there, all these strange facts tell me personally that the russian military leadership of the highest echelon does not trust the commanders of the tactical echelon, it is not considers them to be sufficiently proactive and qualitatively prepared for management or her between actions, respectively, in their areas of responsibility, therefore, the russian generals are moving closer to the front edge where periodically there are deaths, we have five confirmed facts of such actions, although there were actually mentioned eight russian generals who died in the war in ukraine, so i can say

the following for today of the only decision -making center that managed the operation from kharkiv to kherson, the russians are not responsible for certain areas of the front army commanders in which they exercise leadership from their control points, but the lower in the tactical link the topic of problems with management is greater and we will continue to observe and hear about the fact that one of the generals spoke about the front line , where it was wild, well, that is, in fact, the russians do not have enough generals for every battalion, which means that the lower the level, the worse the management of the russian armed forces, which actually plays into our hands, but on the other hand, in general, yes, but on the other hand, the russian army adopted the traditions of the soviet army where it is strong and begins to use the

only successful tactics at the current stage, this is precisely the advantage of artillery, the implementation of, let's say, pushing through the defense with the use of excessive the number of means of impact of barrel and rocket artillery. please tell me what is the peculiarity of such tactics and how it can be countered when it is well managed, where it is comprehensively supplied with ammunition, when there is no control or the logistics of ammunition is broken, respectively. this is just a set of such expensive iron that there is no point in using it in my opinion, the tactics chosen by the armed forces of ukraine to destroy warehouses in the episode is a very correct step, because it is a painful blow, the russians are forced to delay er, operational stocks of ammunition for the zone of damage of

our heimers, they are forced to concentrate warehouses and keep the military stock of regiments, brigades, small them, hide them. this all complicates the logistics. this all complicates the delivery of ammunition to the front edge. unloading ammunition directly to units, but two successful strikes on railway junctions in yasinuvatiya in donetsk, the actions of ukrainian partisans in the melitopol region, well, at this stage but also if they didn’t put christ the fat, then they made it extremely difficult and this option put ammunition, the russians didn’t invent anything new here, they will try er and will continue to try to

use tactics. when it will reach the highest in history in the diversity of artillery, but in certain areas there up to 20 km, they are able to create a serious advantage and a serious density of forces from purely striking means, but without combat passes. again, i will repeat this, in principle, nothing, parts of the experts are now starting to discuss the fact that we are now entering the stage of contradiction and opposition of two strategies, one strategy of putin, relatively speaking , the winter company is to delay hostilities in the next year through the winter and use the winter as a way, they say or freezing the line of confrontation and weakening the unity of the west there at the expense of gas, economic, and actually political problems, and

on the other hand, this is the strategy of ukraine, in particular, the strategy of the summer blitzkrieg, that is, to start er, the preparation of a series of offensive operations, waiting for the weapons, preparing the reserves and starting hostilities in a wide format. as soon as possible, immediately . by the equipment, if i can hear now, now it is not normal, i can hear now, a very strong commission, i can guess your question more quickly, now then, a small moment, some experts believe that now we are starting a competition between two strategies, one is putin's strategy the winter strategy is to drag out the war into the next year and achieve the separation of the unity of the west due to

energy problems and from the ukrainian side - this is the summer strategy to conduct a quick counter-offensive relying on the receipt of foreign military aid or is this assessment of the current situation correct, war is always a competition between two strategies here nothing new in this lies in the nature of war, the russian military-political leadership, i think clearly realizes that to achieve the superiority of the court by military means, eh, they are already lacking no resources, therefore, being a powerful player in the field of hybrid conflicts, russia will use other levers of pressure on the world community, they understand that western aid multiplies ukrainian efforts and increases ukrainian opportunities in this war, and they will do everything to deprive ukraine of these opportunities by

provoking government crises affecting individual politicians, disrupting contracts, making life difficult for western businessmen who are one way or another involved in the supply of weapons, material means in the interests of of the armed forces will be used to blackmail the grain of the united nations organization will influence through the red cross organization, which russia has, will prolong the war under the guise of some negotiations, some operational pauses , slowing down hostilities in order to enter the cold season so that the most e- use your powerful weapons energetically as effectively as possible, as far as the ukrainian side is concerned, i do not see any attempt to conduct a blitzkrieg,

it is dangerous to rush into a counteroffensive you can bet a lot and lose a lot, our problems cannot be solved by one counterattack of the operator, in my opinion , five or six fewer such operations will be carried out and it can not be finished by the end of this year, it will take about a year therefore, which side will impose its will, well, this is a struggle, who will succeed better today, i see a small but ukrainian advantage, the number of the army of the russian federation on the territory of ukraine, if i am not mistaken, is somewhere around 180,000 e-e, our resource in

the security and defense sector is about 700,000, that is, we actually have a much larger number, but on the other hand, there is a difference between the number of personnel and the trained resource. how do you currently assess the quality of reserve training and the training of the main combat units of the ukrainian army that are involved in hostilities i think i almost don't hear from you, if i didn't guess everything from what you just voiced, i ask to repeat, it means that as regards the ratio of the power of means, well, these are the times when two heroes come out on the field and measure each other by personal professional skills, now a boy weighing 65 kg with machine guns in a gaiter is a much more powerful player on the field, a fighter of 10 knights of armor

, e-e, it is absolutely correct to talk about security, training and tactics of the use of units of the armed forces of ukraine since 2014 , foreign instructors who have already trained for a long time our instructors have good skills and eight years of war experience in the east, so we can see what the armed forces of ukraine are now able to show and are showing. i think that the training of ukrainian reserves is taking place using the same methods under the leadership of the same specialists on the same material base, and of course , over a certain period of time, all those people who do not have combat experience in their majority receive not bad military skills that they will be able to demonstrate

on the battlefield as far as the russians are concerned. security officials of ukraine say they trained from two days to two weeks after that they received some weapons there and came to fight in donbass. this is not the same level on the other side in russia we can see two more processes, the first process is the restoration of the combat capability of military units that initially did not participate in the operation, for example, in the belgorod region, the restoration of the combat capability of the 144th and rifle divisions from smolensk has been completed, this is a serious force that can significantly complicate the situation for us both in the kharkiv region and directly under the kramatorsk slavic e-e, they conducted a full-fledged full cycle of activities until they were equipped with personnel until

they provided weapons, repaired what is available , brought in the necessary supplies, conducted this cycle the second process of preparation is the formation of a reserve with reserves, the picture looks as follows, it seems that there is a lot of weapons on the bases, but it has not been there for a decade, it needs an average, and in some cases, even a major overhaul, which is not possible to fully carry out due to sanctions , and accordingly, this is not entirely new completely combat-ready weapons will be handed over by the same volunteer battalions that are being formed in the subjects of the russian federation today, that is, formally, there are many military units, as it were, and formed, but what is their combat potential, what are their capabilities? well, they are rather dubious. well, in short, probably yes, mr. viktor. and what are

the current approaches to our rearmament ? means of intelligence, which priority line is extremely important for us in order to stabilize the front line and achieve a breakthrough in the course of hostilities i apologize for absolutely nothing sorted out what priorities in the rearmament of the ukrainian army are now necessary in view of the fact that the meeting of

defense ministers in rammstein is just ending combat operations, these retypes relate directly to air defense means, long-range means of impression, means of reconnaissance, armored vehicles . break on the front line, what priorities do you think are the most important for that right now, and the ministry of defense is counting on the fact that help from the west will be concentrated precisely on the most urgent directions, of course we all expect and talk about heimers, but in addition to heimers, important and other components are, in particular, armored vehicles in order to conduct offensive operations and means of communication to ensure the reliability of the control system, these are directly directly unmanned aerial

vehicles, that is, of course, i want to see your vision viktor, what priorities are extremely important for the ukrainian army today in order to really ensure rearmament in those areas that can change the format of actions on the battlefield, in order to talk about priorities, you need to know what the armed forces of ukraine are going to do, what are the further developments of our operation, i can to tell about my priorities, which do not necessarily coincide with what the armed forces really need, mr. reznikov, some time ago, he informed that the ministry of defense of ukraine has chosen the path to transfer entire units to western models, for example, partners provide 18 self-propelled artillery units , personnel are trained accordingly, and the next step is the withdrawal

of a russian-armed unit and the inclusion in its place of a unit armed with equipment adopted by the armies of nato countries . we need to strengthen air defense in the middle and far zones, because the russian federation does not stop missile terror , trying first to break the will to resist and to provoke some kind of civil unrest, which would put pressure on the ukrainian government, and secondly, to destroy as much as possible in poland the objects of life support for the population in the grip of winter, which is approaching in mykolaiv, we saw two

destroyed universities. therefore, before the beginning of the academic year, i think such strikes will happen. by the way the idea of ​​training offline i absolutely do not share the wrong now times respectively after air defense we need long-range firepower what i mean if we have systems 270 and m142 himers with a firing range of up to 83 km for today, well, it would be good if we received ammunition for firing at 160-300 km. this will seriously complicate the life of our enemy, of course, our air force has suffered losses in aviation and strengthen well, at least fighter aircraft with modern

, relatively modern aircraft and in 16 would also be an effective step in order to effectively use modern weapons, it is necessary to ensure fast and reliably protected exchange of large volumes of data, respectively, the communication system with appropriate cryptography and other means of closing communication channels of information protection well, it is desirable to get an automated system of troop management, ot perhaps this is in my opinion, the most important thing is what we read we read from rammstein 4 , first of all, the fulfillment of the obligations that the partners have assumed in rammstein 3 uh, what else will happen? hmm , the president declared the need for uh, getting powerful air defense systems

. additional weapons to obtain an advantage in forces and the means to end the war. well, here he will probably comment himself. on the other hand, our minister of defense spoke with the minister of defense of the united states and announced that he has very good news for ukraine. what kind of news is this ? tell me later . please, what is your forecast regarding the results of hostilities at the end of this year, a difficult question, i think that by the end of this year we will be able to complete the defensive operation in donbas, finally stopping the russian federation

in her efforts to reach the administrative borders of the luhansk and donetsk regions, the second step seems to me to be the defeat of the russian group on the territory of the zaporozhye kherson region, and by the end of the year, the liberation of the kharkiv region along the state border should probably be the beginning of next year, it would be expedient to probably plan two large offensive operations for the liberation of donbas from the return of crimea by armed means to ukraine the end of the year the situation at the beginning of the war on february 24 of this year will we to have, let's say, the necessary potential in order to carry out these plans that you mentioned. from the point

of view of the capabilities of the armed forces to carry out such large-scale operations, definitely yes, on the one hand, we receive the necessary logistical and technical assistance , on the other hand, the number of armed forces compared to 2000 e-e in the 21st year, the purely human resource increased by almost three times, correspondingly, its level of training and motivation, let's add here and social protection, also quite allows to conduct a number of contour offensive operations. thank you for this interesting conversation, and i would like to remind our viewers that my interlocutor was viktor kivylyuk, a reserve colonel and an expert of the center for defense strategies, and on our channel you will see a lot of interesting stories that determine the prospects of the armed forces, and the

need for equipment also called for bullet holes and debris on the way to victory they always strengthen the hull in addition, they gave an iron-type base so that it could be restrained by bullets with military equipment, the car needs to be higher. here we make it higher and put it on wheels and we will not stop until there are needs, that's all we will be work and do 24 hours a day rolled up our sleeves, there are car repairers making their contribution now this is fire, that is pumped into our joint victory because the boys need a car ukraine works charity
