probably, first of all, artillery and mortar units and the consumption of ammunition, and with ammunition, in the last few weeks , the russians are beginning to have problems with their transport, and the presence of a large number of tanks. actually , this is not a guarantee that these tanks can be will be effectively used. so, it is necessary to take into account, again , under the raisin, the terrain is quite complex , so, er, forested area, there are a lot of ravines. and actually speaking, in order to use tanks there, you have to approach it very skillfully. so, er, when there are no modern intelligence tools when using maps that were created ten, one and a half, two dozen

, three dozen years ago and were not updated in a timely manner, this creates a lot of problems vyacheslav , how do you assess the risks of the russian contrast in the kharkiv direction that we understand that part of the russian btg is outside our territory in reserve, can we expect that they will try to repel us from the positions occupied by ukrainian units during this week? of course, each an offensive operation, it is constantly under the risk of counter-offensive actions. i personally agree with you that the russians have reserves on the territory of the russian federation. they probably have them now, and the btg, which were taken to restore combat capability. now they will be quickly loaded onto the railways. -e wagons and transport in order to first

restrain us, i.e. the armed forces of ukraine, and secondly to go into a counteroffensive. when the ukrainian army has not yet established itself sufficiently for new problems, but what we see is our excellent infantry, it immediately is taking the front line, is being strengthened, and here it is really these anti-tank weapons and the density of which is probably the highest in the world, they allow even our infantry units that do not have armored vehicles in the defense to pose a serious threat to the russians, so they will sooner if they are to meet resistance to their counteroffensive actions, they may look for alternative routes, and here we again return to the advantages of ukraine in intelligence means, that is, those btgs that will be unloaded, they will be discovered and remote, because the impressions are again returning to

high-marts, which more than once today armored - they agreed, they will simply try to destroy them in unloading points, concentration points and so on, that is, the russians will most likely try to go into a counteroffensive. but will they succeed and what losses on their part will this lead to? well, let's see, let's work. i want us to look at one video and you comment on it. now we have a recipe. try to find it. this is where the ukrainian and marine corps demonstrated an assault on russian positions in one from the occupied villages, and using both tanks and anti- aircraft guns, yes. that is, it is about the use of turkish machines, e.e. porcupines, where they move immediately behind the tanks, and this is precisely why this is a wonderful and interesting video, but what caused me certain questions, usually

when we talk about us that is, we understand that the tanks go, then the infantry fighting vehicles go, and then everything actually. does this mean that we use some other suitable one, and is there a place, relatively speaking, for these vehicles to rap in battle order, as demonstrated by the marines ? yours is the rating of this video on the ramps. they were created absolutely for other purposes, the slave is mine resistant a-a andrusher-protect e-e. that is, it is e-e when in iraq the united states of america met with such a phenomenon that more than 60% of personnel losses are losses from the fire of small arms from ambushes, as well as from the use of homemade explosive devices , the pentagon set a task for

weapons manufacturers to develop and manufacture in mass quantities vehicles that are resistant to the detonation of anti-tank mines also for improvised explosive devices well, there the mass of improvised explosive devices sometimes even reached 200 kg, respectively 200 kg murat cannot withstand but uh, 1.5-2 explosives that are not formed in a single warhead well, he still protects the personnel it's not because of the good life that we use raps as about non-transporters eh because even armored personnel carriers they should not be used in combat formations, especially not in armored combat formations at the time eh for armored combat formations infantry fighting vehicles were created

abonp the first bmp-2 bmp-3 in the west are the same bradleys er the same er british combat vehicles but now in the west these machines are first of all they have d- too powerful armor protection life forced them to armor and now a modern combat vehicle is suitable for this weight of 3 40 t. the weight of a modern light tank or soviet e-e standards is this weight of a medium battle tank and then even a main battle tank, therefore marines are heroic e-e people who use, strictly speaking, for delivery to the collision nrapa and anti-transport means that should be

used during patrols during the transfer of troops, but by no means for storming enemy firing positions, uh, vyacheslav, your evaluations from this video, the positive and negative sides are really caught by the use of raps as the chosen transporters, even rather the qualities of bmp already it's really not from a good life it's much more than nothing, but here is another moment, i would like to note that now in kharkiv oblast and kherson oblast, for a long period of time, the front wore a steady character and both sides set up anti-tank mini fields and indeed anti-tank mines, they pose a serious enough threat when going on the offensive and secondly, this is when moving primarily on dirt roads, i.e. anti-tank mines are a serious problem for armored vehicles and here

cars it is not designed to attack a stronghold of the resistance, but a machine that reduces the risk of losses when hitting a mine is already a good enough option, that is, i saw what i saw and we are also advancing on non-armored vehicles and all the time expecting to run into an anti-tank mine and the presence of such a car as a brother here. it is much better than nothing , therefore it is really not a good life to use these cars for storming strong points, but i bought mine , that’s why. if the directors help us, then we will show the video is not only about hedgehogs, but especially about the american max pro armored vehicles, which we

received in a fairly significant number from the united states. they are already used in the armed forces and there, er, by the way, just this video which shows the appearance of these machines, e.e. max pro, which they received from the united states, they were used in several military conflicts of the united states. but after that, i would ask that they show us a video where, relatively speaking, these machines try to overcome e.e. mud and they actually load that is, due to excessive weight, they cannot pass in those areas where we are conducting offensive actions, if this video is found, then we will watch it now, and in any case, as i understand it, it is the lack of bmps and battleships that forces us to implement these non-standard approaches, now that we are moving further towards the very needs of bmp and apc, we have a significant number of samples of

foreign-made armored vehicles, which we are beginning to receive for e-e in the format of foreign aid. beavers were singled out as the ones that are most optimally suited to our theater of military operations, if we also mention the french machines there and the german eyes of the tracked bmp, a small one that can be singled out there that can really be useful to us so i am still a supporter of what would bring us the greatest benefit. these are the machines that were created in the soviet union and then the polytensies were produced in the countries of the former warsaw pact or were created on the chassis based on such machines. unfortunately, almost everywhere

world, we have already been able to use to the maximum what we were able to use, and now the question arises that we need to use what they will give us, well, in reality, only those countries that have a sufficiently large amount of it will be able to give us in real time of combat equipment, it is primarily the united states of america, it is primarily great britain and france. that's all because even germany, if you take the same pumas that they had in storage, to restore their combat capability, you need to spend quite serious funds and probably well, it will take quite a lot of time, because we can be talking about months, even so,

this is a perspective of the near future, so, if you take into account that absolutely all armored vehicles of western production are, at least, armor protection frontal e-e projection against 30 mm armor-piercing projectiles of soviet equipment e-e this all-round protection is at least 14.5 mm and this guns of the caliber 30-35 e-e and 40 mm then with modern fire control systems that is a chic technique that in in principle , it is needed in large quantities. already and immediately vladislav here, just on my monitor, they showed the german bmp puma, which is considered the

coolest in this segment. we can to receive from our foreign partners in the short-term perspective, well, in the short term, it is definitely necessary to agree with mr. mykola that the bmp-1, which was in service with the countries of the warsaw pact, is a fairly good option for the armed forces of ukraine. if we are talking about western equipment, it seems to me that the best option is the m2 bradley, first of all, because the united states has a lot of them in storage and this is the m113 e-e armored personnel carrier, which is also in huge quantities in the e-e armed forces’ storage the forces of nato countries, that is, in our case, first of all, we need to focus not on weapons, but on protection, protection and passability, because here is a video from

makspro and it really shows that these are machines that are not intended to act as defense transporters of infantry fighting vehicles, and the same m113, which has excellent cross-country ability, which has a good reservation, it would be quite appropriate because the armed forces of ukraine have very, very many divisions that are forced to step on a vehicle and for them it is an armored car that also has a good patency would be a very wonderful reinforcement. well, if we are already talking about weapons, this m2b bradley is a good measure, good weapons for the mechanized brigades of the armed forces of ukraine. such combat vehicles were very appropriate p mykola ot and vyacheslav and you you are talking about tracked armored vehicles, not wheeled ones, this means that

in fact we have to say goodbye to wheeled infantry fighting vehicles and understand that such complex combat operations require tracked infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers. am i wrong, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are a little too much for others conditions of use, it is necessary to understand that ukraine is , after all, not a desert or a semi-desert, but we have a sufficient amount of rain, we have enough water obstacles and enough wetlands , so the passability of tracked vehicles is much better than er, the passability of wheeled armored vehicles, so actually speaking , er, it is still an advantage of tracked vehicles, it

is given as a sign of the main special in the period of ee , autumn and spring, ee, autumn and spring off- road, ot although there are various ways of improvement the passability of wheeled armored vehicles, but all this is quite expensive. that's why. because the laying of various roads and the use of special means to overcome swampy areas are quite large losses of time and the pace of the offensive is reduced when using such equipment. mykola, the next question is still for you, knowing your experience with all military units, are there any units that use our armored vehicles?

apc in the third there is a bmp-1 spear, what are the echoes of these samples in those of our techniques, that is, in that format of hostilities are now being conducted on the front, that means one echo, yes, give already and immediately as much as possible, and then we will give the council, yes, we received it is already quite large, and how many personnel have passed the test on these samples of equipment, and as soon as such equipment begins to arrive in units and units, we will be able to use it immediately. of the fourth gbter of the third e hmm it can’t be why because this technologically complex equipment and components were manufactured at many

enterprises of ukraine, some of these enterprises fell under the impression of the enemy, some enterprises lost a significant number of personnel who became e of the armed forces of ukraine, so similar things, unfortunately, we will to feel er hmm, it means that they will be given as signs for quite a long period of time and we will probably resume the production of this or that technique only after victory vyacheslav and what do you think about how we can build up our defense-industrial capabilities, do we have any options to renew production, to create conditions for the involvement of our defense industry in the manufacture or repair of the equipment that we have today in place of our opak, if we speak

about repairs, of course yes, that is, uh, nato equipment. it is out of order, it must be repaired, and it is necessary to involve as much as possible the enterprises of the ukrainian defense industry for repairs. as for the manufacture of heavy equipment, then indeed now, let's just say, it's not the time to restore these chains of allies in order to produce the same pdr-4, for example, it is very difficult in modern conditions, and moreover, we understand that the russians still have a sufficient number of weapons, even if they already have enough of them spent their numbers, they were decreasing, well, first of all, there are cruise missiles and chanters and so on that allow them to harvest enterprises, that is, until we can protect our defense industry from the enterprise from the strikes of russian

long-range high-precision means, so we do not we can talk about restoration. and what about the restoration of production, but as for the repair of american and other western military equipment, it is not only possible to do this, but it must be done, because the equipment breaks down, and the faster it is brought back into service, the faster it is back on on the battlefield again destroys the enemies , you know in sufficient detail about any military equipment, these are foreign models, they need other systems of lubricants, other substances and types and liquids that provide them - this significantly complicates as for the logistics and maintenance of these foreign models on the battlefield by our service units, how is it currently being solved in general? this is solved first of all by the purchases of those directly operational lubricant fluids and

all the rest that are intended directly for these specific models of equipment. logistics is carried out comprehensively, i.e. when we receive a sample of equipment, we immediately receive ammunition for it in the complex, we receive all operational materials necessary for its use, we use we immediately receive personnel training courses for the operation of that equipment, and we receive repair kits, and the training of specialists in operation and repair immediately begins, therefore, in principle, such things, uh, all over the world are solved - they are solved comprehensively, in that the investigator is now doing and we understand, vyacheslav, you have repeatedly said that development and

communication are important, actually, let's say yes, the components are there, all three, from the point of view of command, control , communication, and so on, that is, how is it today in the ukrainian army is provided with this process, so as not to say too much, do we have the opportunity to connect there art units, ground units, unmanned units to oppose the russian fish? to kyiv even now there in the background they are working on identified targets, information is being transmitted and these targets are being destroyed communications in a smaller way, but the air reconnaissance system of the reva is affected quite significantly, but not critically

, that is, it must be reckoned with, but it is not capable , let's say, of completely hindering our air reconnaissance, it affects its effectiveness , its tactics, but systems aerial reconnaissance, they continue to work and work effectively , mykola, you and i once talked about the place of robotic platforms on the battlefield before the war or there in such a simpler period, it seemed that these ground platforms could somehow work to be done, but de facto we see that the enemy does not even use experimental options and our developments of our companies there are not visible on the battlefield. what's wrong? well, in principle, that's all. yes, there is only one

small problem, until artificial intelligence reaches such a level that it can act practically independently in ground systems. the conduct of the battle to use some methods of remote control. in the current conditions, well , it is almost impossible, why, if it is cable control, well, it is a distance of half a kilometer, a maximum of a kilometer . or some other methods well, it is still much sadder there why because the use of electronic warfare means nullifies such things because then in we have literally one and a half minutes left, i would like vyacheslav and you, mr. mykola, to briefly

say what we need to do to significantly strengthen the potential of the ground forces of other ground units over the course of at least the next year, what is the most important thing to do, mr. vyacheslav first of all, it is equipment and ammunition, even on the contrary, ammunition and equipment. mykola, your concluding conclusion is that in addition to ammunition and equipment, it is also the training of junior management at the level of a platoon company. these are the repair units that must restore the lost equipment as soon as possible. thank you for this interesting conversation. we continue this topic in our other issues, and i would like to remind our viewers that we were their guests mykola salamakha, a retired lieutenant colonel, a

specialist in the field of armored vehicles, and vyacheslav tsiluyko, a military analyst, and now a military serviceman serhiy zgurets of the special operations forces was with you stay on the espresso channel we are looking for 15-year-old olga popova, whose fate has been unknown for more than three months. i only know that the girl lived in donetsk region, and it was there that she had to meet the war. she last contacted me on may 25. at that time, olya was staying with her uncle in the village of mangush , which is about 20 km from mariupol. the territory was occupied for a long time. there is no connection, and therefore nothing is known about olga's fate. the girl is being searched for by her father, who apparently spent a long time in infiltration camps and only recently managed to enter the territory not controlled by ukraine. of course, the husband immediately turned to to the police with a request to help find the child in

previous programs. i already talked about the search for olga, and recently we received an important message on the hotline of the child tracing service, but the girl from the communal apartment is very similar . how old is she ? the woman who called us on the hotline lives in odesa, says that she just saw the girl, immediately paid attention to her and even talked to her a little, eventually found out that she was not a local, she had moved completely recently, the woman, who lives without her parents, was a little surprised that the child moved by herself, and why exactly to odesa, because now it is not very calm there, the city is being shelled from time to time, and the woman did not receive a clear answer, but soon she saw our program with the announcement of the search for olga popova and said the child she shot is very similar to her . they showed an asterisk and a copy, so i don’t have

time to say whether it was necessary or not if i was in western ukraine, and why should i sleep in the dpr and i am better off that we immediately passed on the information we received to the police, i hope this will help in the search for the child and at the same time i appeal to everyone, especially the residents of odessa, look carefully at the photo of olga popova , remember this face, the girl looks maybe a little older than 15 years old, she has not very long blond hair and dark eyes, if anyone has seen the will after may 25. if anyone knows where she may be now, do not delay, dial the short number of the magnolia children's search service from any mobile operator, 116,000,000 calls to the hotline are free, any important information, one more very important piece of information from witnesses. we received about the search for seventeen-year-old mykhailo timofeev from kharkiv, the story of this boy . i also told in previous programs that he disappeared

on june 28. on that day, mykhailo, as always, left home to do his usual business - he said that it was not for long, but i still haven't returned, it's crazy and i. i don't know her, but you know it. anyway, the war is martial law. i don't know what he is. baby mom mykhailo, mrs. olga, i just don't know what to think in these two months. we received reports from witnesses that a guy who looked like mykhailo was seen in the capital, he was apparently going to go to the white church , and very recently there was almost one hundred percent information that mykhailo still happens in in kharkiv , he was seen in his native city on the 20th of august. and it was definitely him, but where exactly is mykhailo now, with whom? and why are they hiding, in particular, from his own mother

, is currently unknown, so i am asking especially the residents of kharkiv to take a close look at mykhailo's photo once again he looks maybe a little older than his 17 years, thin, about 170-180 cm tall, blond hair, gray-blue eyes, on the day of his disappearance, he was wearing a black t-shirt with bright tongues of flame, dark pants and a black jacket, and a small gray handbag with him i don't know where my child is, he's almost 180 cm tall, he's a tall boy and he looks like he's 19 , he accepted a document, a passport, he left the house, what 's he like in the photo, so he left, if anyone saw mykhailo timofeev after june 28 or someone his don't hesitate to dial a short service number from any mobile operator
