the speed of the missiles that they destroy, unfortunately , at the present time ukraine does not have such complexes, and therefore it is a separate problem and as a separate means , it will be necessary to see how it will be possible to work on them er on its own well, and on their own t but but it is necessary to imagine that both one and the other complex are very successfully modern, but also complexes that were calculated on the destruction of rl-ballistic targets and the missiles in them are widows of air-to-air missiles, both in one and in the other, although, for example , the italian zenit missile complex of franko er, those are the same mamba, it is stated in the characteristics that it can destroy ballistic missiles for military operations

, i.e. up to 100 km range, and it is also made of air-to-air missiles . to destroy, including ballistic, entire complexes in the world of anti-missile grounding of such countries and complexes of the americans, yes, yes, the patriot pact and the latest modifications. well, franco is italian , maybe this israeli mamba is appropriate the russians have the complex, the chinese have it, well, it is necessary, as stated by the japanese and south korea, but from the point of view of proliferation, there is a shortage of such complexes, and we need exactly such complexes for the destruction, because the iranian missiles, which you have already said, well, they are

like air, they are a serious problem, therefore that from these experiences that we have in this war with canders in the air, we did not destroy what we have in the complex and hit them, there is a different way of destruction, this is the destruction of ground, air or surface launch platforms is still allowed as in for example, we had a corresponding attack by friends of sevastopol surface and air, they transferred to the point that the carriers of caliber missiles were taken out of service. and this is very good, because this is such a means of countering this type of missiles with which they actually fired at objects in the entire territory of our ukraine, that is why there is a problem here, and the military and management is dealing with its solution

, that is, the development of a separate formation, we have the development of anti-missile defense, well, i will still clarify that for some reason i was convinced that the speed of these iranian missiles according to ttx is mach 3-4 there in fact, this is the same speed as you. so , of the point-to-point operational-tactical complex, we could intercept it with the s300 ibook. that is, why then do we think that we cannot intercept these iranian missiles with our complexes, because they are still on a physical trajectory have a higher speed than what can speed and uh, from the moment when it is detected, the trajectories are like this and then uh , you need something. anti-missile and it takes literally a

few tens of seconds for this, there is still a problem, we have to look for some alternative option to fight, and if she says that these missiles appear at our enemy, then we should probably first of all then start hunting for launchers and it is possible will be an impetus and the question is raised , so that i will no longer boast, unfortunately, how is it being done and waiting for when these complexes went to us, well, what are the declared attack of iris, a few batteries, if there are any, and everything else is declared, they should come, so it will be here the iranians will already hand over to the russians, they will be us, and then a final decision will be made to hand over to wheimer's attack with such missiles. they have missiles there and 300 km and 500 and 600 cameras, so three, we don't have to wait for when it will happen and there will be a corresponding e- e skoda is

applied by our facilities. the main thing is that our people will die, and we will do better. while the allies all have their own problems, which our leaders are working on to convince us that everything must be done promptly and quickly. i think that, by the way, packages with from a significant number of cautionary munitions fanning geost, which can conventionally speaking be in the air for up to 6 hours, i think that one of the missions for such conservative munitions can be hunting for such enemy launchers. we are talking now here about the american aid packages, we already have a clear understanding that the united states will help us with hawks and missiles to this complex spain how far this the complex allows you to close the holes in our air defense and your evaluations of this sample look like the direction of the e-e to increase the fictitiousness

of our anti-air defense is to saturate the massive e-e means of anti-air defense with various types of complexes well, while we have portable anti-aircraft missile systems there short-range complexes and complexes are already in the plans, if the medium-range guys are possible, there are also italian francs, if he comes to us, then it is necessary very well to do it quickly, because they do not need to look at the statement they will be capable of sams, that is, because there are various missiles that can be supplied with a range of 40 and more, how much will it be possible to use them on ballistic missiles . what about the old complexes, that is, they are massed so that we can

shoot down targets and at low altitudes, there is a short-range, medium-range missile, and there is a separate issue of supplying modern complexes, as a rule, with a large range, so that we can shoot down the air force strategic ones that are carriers, for example, would have the opportunity to work on missiles of the ballistic hypersonic class, this is a separate direction that should be put in ukraine and er, build up such opportunities, that is, we hardly mention the patriot now, and everyone is talking about what we er need to get this complex and i have heard opinions that in fact, if we , uh, bet on the patriot, in fact, our air defense system is actually such that uh

can be completely autonomous to carry out the mission from petri, that is, it is much more difficult there, and on the contrary, then the entire air defense system must be built around the petri system. and this should be the impetus for rebuilding all of this system of our air defense. are such conclusions correct or are they possible not only a palliative way to combine the capabilities of the patriot and our old eyes , see with the arrival of the patriots to the anti-flood defense of ukraine and the regions even later. i hope that this will happen, it is necessary to set a task the construction of this new system is based on new approaches to the anti-aircraft defense system of the control system that you are talking about, experts say a lot, that is, the automation of the control system increases the effectiveness of conducting combat operations of any kind, and it is very important in the field of anti-aircraft defense, because there are times for completing tasks of minutes and seconds, and therefore the

automation of these processes is very important. so we need to consider and convince our allies that it is necessary to build anti-missile and anti-aircraft defenses from norway to bulgaria . turkey and ukraine occupy a place in the center of europe, and in the center of the conflict here we have a war. what kind of experience do we have, and that is, all the constructions of this system. it occupies one of the most important places and is very important, and based on this, definitely it makes sense to equip ours to supply to our anti-flood defense and in the future anti- missile defense of this type of complex and check them in active combat operations, by the way, well,

everyone who is now supplying equipment, including moving to, let’s say, modern equipment, this is a big advertising to them by the same frenchman as the italians. well, not only in terms of their technology. because only the war is perfect. it checks the technology. and what is the most effective way to master our military already for more than 8 months. the war has convinced not only us, but also our allies and our adversaries see the aggressor country, that is , everyone in the world if they objectively want to look at and study this situation. let me remind you that it was ihor romanenko, a retired lieutenant general, at one time the deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. these were the main highlights of the military results. this day,

and more international and economic news from my colleagues on the espresso channel, so stay with us vietnamese balm star the first step in the treatment of a cold is a proven drug, not a cosmetic mixture , we will be healthy, ask vietnamese at pharmacies, trust only proven drugs , november 6, lviv stadium, ukraine, a match of professional of the carpathian football league vs. lviv vs. vyshgorod, who will be the winner in this battle, the guests or the home team will score three points, the 11th round of the first league of the ukrainian football championship, we expect

the control points of the anti-aircraft missile systems at thousands of combat positions throughout the territory of our country, they bring victory closer every day. glory to the air forces of the armed forces of ukraine, let's return to the conversation - this is a great theater in progress. thank you very much to serhii zgurts for it and also to his guest general a for what they talked about about the situation at the front, we will talk about the front more diplomatically, we will talk now with our guest we are adding to the conversation oleksandr khara, a diplomat, an expert on foreign policy and security policy of the center for defense strategies . oleksandr welcomes you. good evening, the panel is here. i have prepared some questions here, they are somewhat expanded, i will start with those that were added briefly, very simply, i will ask your opinion first - is this security assistance from the united states of america or what kind of signal is it, first of all, what does it mean in the decisions that are made in the united states itself, how much do they believe in the ability of

ukraine to advance further on the front. to what extent do you expect this to be a significant help from our partners, please, well, of course, this is another evidence that this administration is not going to communicate specifically with the russian federation despite the difficulties that are connected with energy, i mean the world and other things, of course the 90 tanks that we receive will give our military more opportunities to solve tasks, especially in the southern direction. i really liked several interviews in the last week and the comments of former american soldiers, including the current minister of defense, who says that the ukrainians have the opportunity to liberate kherson, and the most important thing is that he said, well , the ball is in our direction, and the ukrainians believe what they can do and these tanks will definitely come in handy, i'm already talking about other

things, it's very good that the greeks finally decided to provide us with these bmps, and before that, there were several other important and interesting decisions regarding mppu systems that is, in principle, everything is very good, it is happening from the point of view of what we receive, and the most important thing is the unshakable will of such a collective measure that supports us. and also these countries said that they will support ukraine, and in particular there is a very important point for all of us, they defend why i can't join with skype because there is no light now, at least in my part of the work of the microdistrict in kyiv, so this group of backs is going to coordinate their activities. for that in order to actually provide assistance for the restoration of the electric power industry, which is needed first of all, uncalled for by civilians, and then it definitely goes to our

military, and they called the fact that russia is purposefully destroying such infrastructure as war crime that is, all of them are extremely important as diplomatic support, but also with money and weapons, what we need here is very important olaf show this is the chancellor of the federal republic of germany who visited the sky and in the sky and said all the things that the war in ukraine is developing yazala russian federation creates problems for the world order well, it's like that, you know the general words, and the cd is important said that he is against the use of nuclear weapons in europe, some criticized what kind of trip it is, some i did not criticize in any case, it is horishni to go or not to go, the decision of the state that appointed him to this position, well, but how do you evaluate it, how do you evaluate the words of sisipinya, is he deceiving, or is there any red line somewhere that he may try not to allow for putin to cross the ct for one of the western political scientists that german er means

german, this security and welfare was based on american weapons, its actual presence on german territory, plus nato in europe, and the second is cheap russian gas and money that were invested in the german economy well, of course , it is chinese and the market is sold out, and now we see that the germans are rethinking their approaches, that is, they need them, they understand that the united states is needed. reduce dependence and we have seen in the last few months an extremely interesting process was taking place to strengthen the energy security of europeans, that is, they got rid of their mental dependence on russia and thank god even less less depends on the energy plan, but unfortunately, this does not happen with china. that is, it seems to them that they can impregnate with some other weighted policy and keep this very interesting

market for themselves, and we see criticism, including within the coalition, regarding the decision to sell a quarter of the shares of this sambar port, i.e. the actual entry into the european union for the chinese, and of course, the postponement of the creation of e-e production facilities in china, these are negative things, i.e. mr. scholsu is not fully aware of the dangers that arise from the side of totalitarian authoritarian and such states that use the economy to achieve their strategic political goals. that is, this is one part, the second part, if we talk about nuclear weapons, it is definitely not the tricksters from irpin, and he definitely would not like to see the use of nuclear weapons, because it is a matter of principle, and secondly , the use of nuclear weapons and the important reaction of the united states and its nato allies . first, it can significantly reduce russia's ability

to do anything at all, we don't know what they will do but since they maintain the so-called non -strategic uncertainty and the second - it will be a rethinking of the approaches to the use of nuclear weapons in a possible conflict with er with china around the taiwans er that's exactly why i think that it would be better to be blind for blinding your slightly stupid junior partner er so that he would not do such a stupid thing. moreover, the entire civilized world reproaches the united states for using nuclear weapons in 1945 against japan, well, that is, they are constantly reminded of this and say that such weapons should never be used. well, we have also seen this, this means that this accusation is a ridiculous accusation by the russians on our side of the miracle of the so-called dirty bomb regarding biolaboratories. this really happened in the security council, and unfortunately the chinese were dissatisfied with the fact that the

resolution regarding the investigation of the american laboratory on the territory of ukraine was not put to a vote. for the fact that at one time trump blamed the chinese because they created this comic, do you remember this buchanan laboratory and he even directly said the chinese virus, i think they just wanted to play back here on us, er, to repay the americans, but let's say the chinese take such a position, as if they are not an impartial mediator, i hope it seems to them, but for the most part, no, because everyone sees what is in this conflict, and let me remind you that not during the vote for the resolution condemning the armed aggression of the russian federation, china received everything, that is, they did not vote thank god together with russia, but on the other hand, they did not vote for ukraine and for condemning the criminal aggression of the russian federation, so china has problems regarding his so-called bias even

as important issues ukraine, through the mouth of the minister of foreign affairs dmytro kuleb, threatened iran with a harsh response if iran continues chats and drones drones and also ballistic missiles to russia and called for victory, calling ukraine's statement made by dmytro a colleague somewhat emotional . here is this investigative statement, in fact, a threatening statement for iran by the ukrainian foreign ministry, to what extent it will affect iran and, well, the negotiations, what are the negotiations about, if contracts are allegedly already being concluded with russia on the supply of these weapons please, well, you know, it seems to me that all authoritarian totalitarian regimes are liars in their judgement, and when we show the downed uh, iranian drones in form and substance , and they deny it without a word. that it could be some kind of trick, you know what they conveyed to the russians, and there is some uh, they twisted these drones there with screwdrivers and think that they are not there, but in fact,

you know that what our intelligence says is what american intelligence says well, i think that this one has it, they just don't publish the actual is the material who are you to not show the sources, this is actually for finding such information, so i don't think that there is any sense, because we will see the same madness as the russians printed there on 300 e-e pages, that is, all powerpoint presentations, which are supposed to prove that are we developing combat mosquitoes here or something else, this loyalty well, we understand that it's a lie, it's stupidity, but, well, i don't think that treason can be another, another question, step by step, iran's elections, they cross out such behavior with the united states, about in fact, what is called a comprehensive agreement

, it is clear that elections will be held in the united states this november, rather, the republicans will take control of the senate against the representatives, and they were skeptics of this agreement from the very beginning. they just think, well, let's first make money from the russians, secondly , maybe extract certain technologies from them, including missile and maybe even nuclear ones, and definitely try to solve our other issues in the region, because of course the russians and the iranians are tactical allies, and above all syria, although the interests of the people there do not coincide. and well, actually , the russians are very good. there are still surprises and there are sometimes arabs that iran may start hostilities against it, of course we

would not like this to happen, because it will indirectly affect us, primarily because of oil prices, to draw the attention of the united states to us israel and other countries that have , let's say, the need to somehow put out this fire well, of course, there are other negative consequences of such a regional conflict, but on the other hand, they again satellite the authoritarian regime very often trying to solve some project issues by creating others in fact, these protests that we are currently observing are being elected, they first of all blame the west because it seems that it is the western experts who support the attention of course. this is delusional. but on the other hand, they can try to extinguish it some other conflict. well, by the way, the statements of certain azerbaijani experts and politicians were very interesting, because we know that iran is a multinational entity, there is a large

proportion of azerbaijanis, and which territories are considered illegally alienated at the time together with the soviet union, and therefore they can there will still be this moment of conflict. so, i think that iran would be better off behaving more politely , seeking understanding with the united states and not supporting the special forces, which actually inevitable goes to the bottom. by the way, i just note that on the arabian peninsula, well, literally in two weeks, the world cup in football will begin, in which, by the way, the national team will participate early. what is interesting ? well, start some kind of hostilities or a war because it is real. well, it would certainly not be very logical, because national teams from all over the world will gather there. well, there is no logic. well, but i have literally 5 minutes and two questions. i want you to briefly zelensky answered them he refuses to participate in the summit at the ball. he himself announced this. if putin is there , did zelensky take the right position or, again, there are opinions as such against please well, first of all, i

absolutely support what is written in the statement of the group of seven that now russia does not show a real desire for negotiations to regulate the diplomatic conflict, which is exactly why our president meets even accidentally in the fields, that is exactly what makes no sense. this is the first, second point, and of course, this group of 20 will also be there. to discuss, including the issue related to russian aggression, and to be honest, i do not think that the presence of the president of ukraine there could in any way convince the leaders of india, for example, to behave differently, and therefore it seems right to me not to meet with putin can't shake his hand, give him the opportunity to somehow get out of isolation. but, well, let's say it. well, plus, we're calling because i think it's important for the president to be in the country now, uh, it's another matter to

go, for example, to poland, or somewhere nearby day or for a certain time, but for a long time, i think it is better for him not to promote ukraine. well, the fact that the parliament of bulgaria made a decision to transfer heavy weapons to ukraine and there were certain protesters 49, we did not vote for you deputies or how many more than almost 150 voted again well, well, somewhere there, one to three, and this is an important decision. the question is whether it was really possible to break this pro-russian lobby in the countries of the european union, where such a decision was not supported before, or who they say it will be next after bulgaria. where is it possible that they are also hesitant to give something there? do we need something? well, let’s say like german tanks, please. well, you know this fluctuation will be constant, because there are definitely pro-russian elements and there is some strategic corruption and definitely there is first of all, leftists in any country, starting with the united states, let's look at sanders' ribs on novomakhovsky, what are they talking about? what kind of

eyes do they have? i'm not talking about some parliamentarians of the european parliament, because of course those people who believe that america is empire, it is bad because ukraine supported it, then it is necessary. well, openly, one may not say that ukraine should be abandoned, but they are promoting this idea of ​​diplomacy, that weapons only continue the conflict, of course, that this is delusional. it is an extremely dangerous thing. thank god, there are no signs yet that this general front of support for us can somehow crack bulgaria is a specific country somewhere there are historical myths about what it means to be the tsar the liberator of russia actually the participation of the russian empire in the division of the ottoman empire consequences, they are all these things. well, bulgaria is not particularly interested in what is happening there beyond its coastline. plus, it is extremely dependent on the russian federation, including in terms of energy, although it was opened to them - they cut off gas in april, it seems, together with poland so,

well, this friendly brotherly love of the russians. it has already been manifested in such and such a form, but on the other hand, the bulgarians understand very well that nata is the only one , let's say, with protection for this country, a few years ago it seems in the 18th movement of the british the analytical center did a study and found that bulgaria is the least combat-capable, let's say that it is a capable member of nato, and therefore of course they can't do anything if there is no support from nato, that's why some politicians understand this . i'm talking about european politicians those who understand the danger of redrawing the borders of the world by force, and that is why they are on our side, but it is not guaranteed whether there will always be management, there will always be calls for compromises for diplomacy, since we all suffer, i do not say what i mean. europe is even in the spring, taking into account the use of hunger and famine as a

weapon against developing countries, and it is certainly not going anywhere. unfortunately, russia is an extremely powerful country, and for a long time it strengthened its influence by buying the political elite in the same bulgaria. a dozen scandals from a dozen arrested e-e military and former bulgarian politicians who worked for russian intelligence who worked against their own state against nato thank you very much mr. oleksandr thank you the rest of us have joined and wish you a good evening oleksandr khara, diplomat, expert on foreign policy and security policy of the center for defense strategies. i didn't have time to ask. exactly what the president of the republic of belarus declared and told him not to even think of involving his army with putin in the war against ukraine because the consequences that will be for him after that will be for him effectively fatal at least to his regime
