yes, we are waiting for the next ones. i want to ask you, you started talking about how your special operations are going. well, for people, they really love it. people see the picture. we liberated kyiv oblast. we liberated kharkiv oblast. let's go guys. how is everything going on inside the front ? knows, except for those who are there . you go beyond zero and the child has some kind of operation, what do you feel? you don't even have a connection with yourself, you do n't take anything extra with you, and there are options that someone may not return. well, he is always there. what do you think about, what do you feel at the moment when you go to such a job? doesn't force you to come back at any moment and say well , something didn't work out there, yes, absolutely right. well, the

first special forces group is not mobilized there, only volunteers who went to fight on their own from the first days of the war. we are not talking about what was mobilized . it's just bad for volunteers those who went from the first days had the highest motivation, i remain like that on some operation . where do we go? there is a formed group, but on some operation they immediately tell us that they can be quite heavy. i go to the guys and tell the guy we are going out. volunteers volunteers from volunteers, this situation will be difficult. the best ones because, especially if it is supposed to be a long-term exit, we carry

about 30 kg each. that's why. if from the point of evacuation to the point of entry, for example, there are km 15:17, then of course, well, how should we keep it including and the mark in this case, not to mention any combat operations. and what is the point of entry, point eva , these evacuation points, there is the safest place where we go out and go into the green, which theoretically may not be under fire, but usually it is a conditionally safe zone very conditionally very conditionally yes, this is very conditionally, because it is allowed in that jelly sychansk, eh, we have near lysichansk, where there are quite large, eh, layers of forest mass. we still looked at their drones, they really worked well, and they also found evacuation points. and if they see that they have arrived

let's say cars, they immediately start pouring in there, mainly from mortars, that is, we didn't have a long distance there, especially then already at that moment in the last days of the battles for lysychansk, if you take the lysychansk route ah bakhmut behind, the track goes in the direction of the golden side, the left side was already their track, almost to the right, it was still ours, so how can we not twist it, we are in the field of a certain introduction of them, and there is an evacuation point. it was a conditional spring, that is, we are allowed there. somewhere 1.5-2 km away, uh, mortar shelling for 3 km, so we were still taken out by them. and here you are now, when the other directions where you were, your special unit took part in the liberation of kyiv oblast, bucha gostomel. then you were in the zaporizhzhia region walnut in kherson direction, what differed are the fundamental differences

in the deoccupation of these territories of kyiv zaporizhzhya and kherson kyiv oblasts was especially difficult because it was the very beginning and, frankly speaking, sometimes we did not understand what we needed to do correctly and how to do it, therefore we suppressed night exits were inside the cities our proofreaders who told us where the people are now based, er, how are the people, sorry, they are not orcs, there were cases when we had young guys, they were not there then in short order, then they came to us, they, for example, managed to overtake a kamaz with a projectile and orkov and drive it to our guys. how did they do it? we still don’t know. now these heroic

guys, including us, one of my scenes serves that's why it was difficult to serve with your son later, i have five honors, two of them serve with me oh-oh-oh, great honor for ivan , in fact, when they were in the east , lysychansk and severodonetsk differed from severodonetsk , it's mainly city battles these are stormtroopers operation - it's really a lot of losses on both sides, uh, lysychansk battles near lysychansk, well , in lysychansk, there were no such battles, that is, there was an organized exit . entrance, and where we worked, it was left from lysychansk in the direction of novatoshkovka, toshkovka, e-e, livia along the highway, there is a large forest massif, and the kadyrovs

were based there, and the regular troops were also based there, and that was our task to make it so that this group the enemy didn't break through the forest and the second brigade didn't come out, conditionally speaking, almost in a body, that's why we constantly went there for several days in the forest and here they are . as in zaporizhzhia and as in the kherson direction, is there a feeling that even they have already begun to realize that nothing is working out for them, that they are becoming weaker every month and this somehow motivates us. is there such a feeling or are we driving ourselves in such a certain delusion to whom when we constantly say that they have already fallen they are running away they are weak they are we we are just leaving they are just running away e-e well this does not quite correspond to reality in reality yes a-a when we

talk to the captives we see and they talk about what the moral spirit of the former soviet union says. in the former ussr, fighters fall, and a lot of alcoholics and drug addicts appear already during hostilities. they are simply afraid if they enter gostomel in bucha, in the thief of irpen, and considered themselves the best warriors of the world, such summoners and so on, now they already thought completely differently, but some of them surrender, some of them run away, but this should not mean that they have completely crumbled, they have enough left they still don't count the shells to zero. well , they have fewer cruise missiles, although yesterday's shelling of ukraine shows that it's enough

to zero, the fact that they use a lot of manpower, these guys are enough for us here i will tell you about our special unit and other brigades, battalions with which we are fighting next to, in fact, it doesn't matter how many people they are, their name is 300,000 million, i have 12 people, i kept a company of regular troops 120 people very calmly, and in the end they made so i practically destroyed the majority of the mouth, only 12 people left, and the guys did it, well, with such a smile on their lips in the morning, while the fight is going on , someone is brewing coffee so that you understand, this is how it happened, this is not an exaggeration, this is reality, yes it's called, and i, as a sniper, usually lie a little to the side of the guys, and

there is a shooting battle, a shooting battle, i heard my ears, where is the coffee , i'm talking, i'll look at my shoes, they dug themselves not big trenches, and i'm separately lying behind a tree so that i wish they hadn’t covered it there with a dubovaya such a grove. i was lying right on the surface . they make comics e-e online about the events at the front i think it's interesting and everything is so interesting for grandfather oh, that's what it was, that's why we are absolutely calm about it we count departures and arrivals in order to understand the amplitude and what square we can occupy with us. there was one of the last battles near lysichansk

. we were then detected early in the morning. completely calm without scratched us then there were 24 chakas this was a collective group there was one uh, there was a georgian battalion of the hort special unit and one regiment in soso, and this is a collective group, yes, it was scary, of course , because they sprinkled it very well, but we calmly left and finally reached the evacuation point and we calmly returned to the place of our rest, so to speak, and today you did not come empty -handed. i see that in chevronila, bring some trophies . who help us, they have one request, give us a trophy, give us a trophy, well, the first weapon is that we are obliged to wait, we are law-abiding citizens, we stay and wear chevrons, we give them to volunteers so that they can do auction raffles, again, funds are collected

, which again go to us, we are interested in this, so usually we i'm giving it all away. it 's a miracle i didn't give it because i had to meet with our volunteers when i arrived in kyiv. give it to them. once the chevrons that were on the wagner group were on the photo, they went in no way. they went just like the armed forces of russia, er, with the usual chevrons. i repeat that, they took off their documents, gave them to our special services, then they said, what exactly is this group, and it’s in kherson the direction here is an interesting story. i didn't know if they would let me in with ammunition or not. i removed the cartridges from here. this is a store. this

svd is lysychansk near lysychansk. sniper is difficult find it because eh, as i already said, there is dubovaya grove, and for me there is not even a visible distance, the maximum that i could see is 127 m, eh, the length of all the rest of the trees, well, this is serious, yes , i can’t see it, and i start looking for where the shooting is coming from well, we found it. well, at what distance was he then? he was then in the area of ​​120 m. we simply choose the positions of the ions and i, and there are other snipers. when we lie on the ground in the green so that it was blocked by trees in front of us, there was just a trunk. that if they notice snipers begin to sprinkle mines and i repeat, we are not in a trench, we are not where we are just lying on top of the ground, so the distance was small, of course, in the

kherson direction, there were already completely different distances. i want to talk about your profile about sniping . this is a very interesting topic. comrade friend he is a sniper and he tells what sniping is - well, it's not even so much a military specialty as, er, a mathematical one . the equipment with which you work and the possibility of making correct calculations. and tell me what weapons you work with and what do russian snipers work with so that we can compare, we can compare artillery, we can compare tanks, and sniper duels, sniper confrontations. i haven't heard anything. please tell me about it. i have two main rifles with which i work first. this is our ukrainian manufacturer

gunsmith for 10. this is a half analog to the american ar-10, but the improved version is already available. the stainless barrel is already attached in a different way, the bolt bar and the bolt itself, and the gas outlet is the second, that is, it is more modernized, although it will have an appearance when the art-10 z-10 will be installed, it will be two absolutely identical weapons, caliber 308 , and the work of the middle ones the distance is up to 700 m, well, it’s actually around 500. well, the 308 caliber is a large caliber, well , it’s approximately like 12.7 eh. well, yes, but more is allowed, the last time we use 338 caliber, it’s already quite second there, eh, target shooting is already one and a half km 700 m it's a pity that you didn't bring bullets the audience understood the difference. i understood the cartridge

is about the same size, yes, 308 caliber. well, about that. no, it shows 330 , 3308 , about that. well, the 338 hummingbird will not penetrate a light armored vehicle, for this it is a fifty- fifty caliber. but this is again a completely different shooting, a completely different weapon. 338 - this is a really good sniper weapon. in fact, as you correctly said, it is possible to shield everything correctly with the correct math, then the aiming range is calm, in the region of one and a half km, even a kilometer of 700, but at

the same time, uh, i have a lot of nuances, for example , uh, different bullets, even if with zero crosswinds with zero humidity everything is great, only the remote control will be about three meters because of the distance it bent there yes, but again, we have well, in any case, we have very good sights that help , they are very expensive, in fact, and these sights are like thermal night sights and ordinary day sights, they help a lot with correct calculations, that is, in many sights, especially if they are american there are already killed such a computer of mine there are already killed various types of cartridges with different weights and the weight

of gunpowder inside the cartridge inside the sleeve that is why you have left and the trash remains there is a rangefinder you literally kill with buttons what kind of bull are you all the time you use ammunition, you start entering these data, and then on the sights, if you present yourself with a sight, there is a reticle, there are mods, there are mine, they carry it a little differently, according to the so-called clicks, and it shows you that here, here, you need to aim here, not in the center, but here a light bulb lights up here, and then it will fly to where it needs to be, you tell me, stay with the audience, why is it a sniper weather station, it's such a thing, here's a small device, which, by mistake, calculates all the data that it shows wind speed, direction, wind, humidity , temperature, etc. simply bullets at long distances behave completely differently in

different weather conditions, humidity, yes, of course, you once said that weapons are full all inclusive, so are we different from russia, they still have the old svd svd is enough we have a non-exploited weapon, but the svd, as we call it, is a single-shot rifle . the barrel overheats very quickly, and then the field is twisted, that is, it actually shoots 6:8 shots, and then it needs to be cooled. weapons eh, therefore, for sure, they probably have some western weapons of 308 caliber, because, too, during one sniper duel, eh, in the den of an orc sniper, i found boxes of 308 caliber of the western model, good cartridges, in fact, very good, how do they get them i don't know, but it 's not a huge amount, that is, it happens somewhere in their own country.

yes, i want to say that we are equipped with a pen, well, a million percent better, and again, such a part of the weapon, so that the armed forces actually receive a good weapon. volunteers who collect money specifically for the purchase of weapons, we buy them in ordinary a-a stores a-a like hunting weapons, like me, they buy them there in stores, they are simply transported, it is difficult to carry out, but everything is possible, if you really want to, yes, that's why eh there is someone i will accompany, let’s say so much, many of my colleagues , we’ve passed, i already said that the 338 caliber is an owl, because it’s the tenth, because it’s quite a good price , eh, it’s very good quality for american

weapons, eh, it’s a classic bolt-action rifle, and in principle очень хорошо себя правшил how much is one shot for 338 hummingbird from 350 to 450 hryvnias for 338 for 308 from 90 to 130 roughly, that is, up to $10. it can cost 11 yes, a good cartridge will be worth it yes, we have figured out the sniper work, but i would like to know more about my grandfather's family, about your wife, we have already learned that you had five sons, you were born in mariupol, you are a person in balaklava, to conduct your little investigation during the elections i was born in mariupol, my family was quite famous, my father was a very famous scientist who he worked for the defense forces of the soviet union in his time , he was abroad in soviet times in the country of foreign

countries, eh , my mother also held a very high post. i traveled a lot for work and loved tourism . they visited many countries, as i said. i have five sons, the oldest in america. he is 30 years old. he graduated from university a long time ago and stayed there. greyhound. two younger ones together with their wife. they are now in germany. that is, i took them out myself on the first day of the war. how did i take them out? i helped them leave because they came under shelling. we couldn't take them out normally for a week, then we took them out to

our friends, they are now in germany, and now you, your wife, have not seen each other all this time, here, for 8 months, on the phone, well, we will see each other someday, that's what the sniper commander said if you still know that i have a doctoral degree in theology, i was a priest, i was probably a priest, you will be surprised, that's what happens with the chaplaincy. they didn't think to do it. no , i'm just looking for a place to relax . it's a very big job. well done, but it's important, yes, we must allow it. very often, when we go out to pray, i memorize some verses from the bible for guys

. and what helps the most is what is most asked to be read by the military who exist in the postmy 21st psalm very often i will not wait for anything you will rest me on golden pages you will save my life there and so on atheists in the trenches under fire yes, this is exactly how we we pray there, probably no one has ever prayed in life. how is it? it ’s true, and uh, well, indeed, the chaplain does a lot, uh , and a lot. i'm reading something here they ran away, they are sitting abroad, there or there , they are making some money for something, we have special forces, hort serves twice as the minister of finance , igrymanskyi, we serve, oh, one

of the directors of the kyiv kp, we have the director of one of the regional ukrzaliznytsia the well -known political scientist kirill sazonov serves, and another political scientist, alexander kondratenko, and that is, by and large, we take them not only with weapons, we take them with some skill, we take them with intelligence, we think differently, we don’t need it. i don’t know how they give orders, but apparently somehow sorry a moron wrote the text, eh, how do they do it all because we have the opportunity to sit down with commanders , top generals, etc. each of us has some experience, not only after such a large-scale invasion, but also before that, there was a certain experience of

participation in hostilities in different places, so we can advise on the best, and we take intelligence there because it is permissible if you do not a military check, regardless of whether it's true or otherwise, well , the head works differently, that is, you're not in a loop, you're not within the scope of the textbooks, conditionally speaking, not within the scope of your experience, you have a lot of life experience. you can use it to model when planes were shot down with javelins, that is, well, just no there were barriers, but there were no barriers. people didn't tell them that it was impossible and there was no barrier. and they did it. that's why the same situation is so common here that we have the opportunity to communicate with the highest-ranking generals. tell us what we think. at that time, we can even make changes to the operation along the way. some nuances. well, we are grateful that we

are not really being driven to slaughter, although i will repeat myself if we take the same guys from the trenches . there is full hell going on at the moment, but the task is set, guys, hold on no matter what, i am incredibly grateful to you and for what you are doing. and when you talked about those who are fighting with you, you told your story. i have one thought that you in fact, there is a flower of the ukrainian nation who, er, took a weapon in his hand, who put aside a peaceful life, put aside all his life experience and transferred it to the defense of ukraine. i am incredibly grateful to you and i want each of you to return from the front alive , return to a peaceful life and help to all of us to rebuild, to restore, thank you, thank you to the scenes

, and also to all the military who protect our ukraine from your face. thank you for spending precious time in kyiv with us for visiting this studio. thank you , health, patience, and take care of your sons. necessarily andrii, nicknamed grandfather, head of the unit hort sniper and just an incredibly deep and interesting person, natalya ostrovsky from the unit visited us, and i have the commander of the post navelfak group morning guard see you on the air unconquered cities of ukraine, this is cozy kherson the pearl of the protected territories of ukraine, the city played a significant role in the creation of statehood became the southern center of the ukrainian revival during the great
