acts, you evaluate it, that is, to what extent will russia have enough strength or if it does start something in the balkans, then you can forget about it for now, as far as other regions are concerned, such activation is not as much as there is in the balkans, although what is planned in the kremlin, eh, we can guess only hmm, there are only such indirect signs that ukraine and the balkans are still the main goals of the kremlin. agencies, but they see her and fight her. well, in the end, i don't think russia will be able to act as freely as she did. well, even 3-4 years ago, we'll see each other. let's see

portnikov and the main topics of the week, if god forbid really tactical nuclear weapons are used against ukraine, it will definitely change the world . problems, analysis and personality, we are waiting for john gerbs, the former ambassador to the united states in ukraine. espresso, for more than six months, the ukrainian army has been using western artillery for the defense and liberation of the lands seized by russia. it all started with american howitzers of 155 mm caliber, but at this moment, western partners have already handed over more than 10 systems of various calibers to ukraine. this is the reality of donbas, this time we will match it. interim results of the use of western artillery in ukraine, what problems are the gunners facing now and what awaits

the soviet caliber in the zaporizhzhia direction of the line of defense by day the entire depth of the occupied territory according to the coordinates of the threaded machine a short period of time will fly more than 10 current at the beginning of the artillery at the border are inserted with balls the closer you are to the target the greater the probability of hitting these because on long sights at a long distance of projectiles the projectile is more difficult to adjust e-e with american snare 22.5 and arsena 29 km excalibur 39 are very demanding in maintenance, cleaning is necessary very often, but the accuracy is impressive, the second shot, the third shot

lands exactly in this 70th from the first batch of the help they have been working in ukraine since the spring, since may, in fact, these installations, most of which are 155-caliber, as a rule, went to the artillery brigades, this is what the military calls among themselves the senior commander's artillery. oh, i don't even remember. well, until the other day we blew up a bull and a mortar battery the other day, a couple of days ago, these are the ones that were fatter, and that's what i'm saying because the warehouses, well, there were tanks, well, that's what he's afraid of, with the call sign, a beard, since 2014, he fought at the soviet installation of the city, towed guns with a caliber 152 mm says it was easier to work with the soviet howitzer, but they got used to the new weapon and the calculation. they came to us from estonia. this one is because we have estonian italians. this one is

estonian. it works well for us. as long as you have yours, how many shots should be fired. oh, i won’t even say. i won't even say approximately, because this is my third gun, because the first one was damaged, the second one broke, and this third one is still unspecified, well, on mine, let's say, before that, i fired 1,000 shells on this one already. in this regard, i'm just saying this you need it for every piece of equipment, as they say, you have to watch it, if it doesn’t really work, then it wo n’t work normally if you are constantly looking for it. watch it, it will work. the fh-70 mentioned here is one of the eight types of western howitzers, 155 mm hummingbirds, which have a bolt are already used on the battlefield, in particular self-propelled m109 krap cesar panzer howitzer

and towed m-77 about the transfer of the ninth sample of 18 wheeled self-propelled guns, germany announced the other day, and ukraine also received various artillery in 105 mm caliber and a batch of 130-mm german rifles, let me know thanks to these artillery, there was the possibility of strategic strikes not only on russian fortifications, trenches and forward positions, they also strike them, but it is much more important on many levels to disable the communications logistics of the attack headquarters of the senior leadership, this has an eternal effect on the battlefield, which ukraine uses with great success for western armies it is not normal to have several types of barrel artillery us for example uses m109 37 chimeras and mls and this is a small exception to the rules in most western armies one gun 155 mm as

as a rule, self-propelled and towed howitzer 105 mm, but ukraine with its post-soviet artillery already knows how to use different types of artillery , starting with two s1 cloves - two s3 acacia, two c19 city c and ending with 2.7 pion, there is a lot of experience in having different types of shells in service, but potentially it feels as if this is done more for the west than for the ukrainians, for the manufacturers. now their systems are being tested in combat, we obviously never wanted a war in ukraine, nevertheless, now we see where the system performs well and where not this is very much a consequence of the war, despite the fact that hundreds of western guns were transferred to ukraine, this is only a small part of what is needed in most combat brigades , the actual artillery is still soviet calibers 152 and 122 mm, one of such soviet installations in

anticipation of combat work, when it changes, that is, v2 , there are two cars here how do you live here, you are living as well as i wanted you to be a little better, but everything on the road near the front line is happening quite quickly. the guns were on duty and suddenly received an order to open fire. the russian army is engaged in which it goes on an assault, the gun continuously fires for the next hour after adjusting from the air, the calculation does not leave the car for several kilometers, another installation is waiting for the 152nd caliber for tanks there, well, what can we really take from us, we almost can take it over there, the infantry, light armored vehicles

work when i am clipped, well, not much, in general, we will work a little there, and there are still times when the enemy tries to go further and we have to work all day continuously for two days on duty, the installation becomes a home for the crew, they live and fight in it, sometimes this home has to be changed due to breakdowns, cars are repaired, well, we are not alone. we work together, we allow minor breakdowns , we repair them ourselves. clove teams, even though it is a soviet 122 mm caliber, but nevertheless

, ukraine received such weapons from its neighbors, the czech republic and poland, in particular, moreover, the ato country is currently discussing the possibility of establishing production of ammunition and in general weapons of the soviet type in order to restore stocks in ukraine on the third day of the war, several uh-uh, czech-made fidoks were passed, they were better than ours because they were preserved. they were waiting for the moment of the war, and when they were given to us, they shot more accurately because ours will already be a little bit if it was shot with the nose, too, it's wonderful, well, that is, there were questions about the accuracy of the metro 50 there are alive , they perform combat tasks at other firing positions during a full-scale war, losses

inevitable according to project orix russia destroyed or damaged 20 towed howitzers m-77 and two fh70 as well as 12 different self-propelled guns as a rule this is the result of counter-battery combat and strikes kamikaze drones lancet even the loss of one howitzer is a big deal ukraine needs as much artillery as it can get about the loss of three tens - this is what the west will have to replace in one form or another, it can be american systems, european ones. we can not allow son losses to grow, they are necessary to replace quickly and in the near future is that this moment is the direction in which we are moving replacement of lost artillery even without losses on the battlefield approximately one-third of the actual 350 western-made howitzers received by the ukrainian army are constantly not on the front line and under repair, this is data by niyok timesis with a

reference to a representative of the us ministry of defense the main reason why howitzers fail is the intensity of fire of juves in the war with six-armed weapons in afghanistan and other places american artillery it was not used as much as it was used by the ukrainians in the war with russia, but in my opinion it shows itself well, the howitzer barrels have to be changed, the more it is used, the more likely the barrel metal deformation is in the fh-70, the barrels have not yet been changed in the zaporozhye direction, the fire is less, but the number of shots is huge. if you count more than 15,000 per battery like this, there is already a difference in the scattering of projectiles. maybe a little scattering. because before, as soon as they came to us, the first projectile landed better now, well, we are trying to influence it with our machinations, so to speak, during the preparation of

the next shot, the calculation receives the command, but there is a misfire in the next 2 minutes, the fighters manually eliminate the problem, the gun returns to work again, most of the problems arise with those mechanisms that are responsible for firing, more breakdowns - this is a sighting device, there were sighting devices, yes, in a wedge, the bolt mechanism, the automatic mechanism, very often, the capsule does not hit , something else, the spring is broken, it is disassembled everything is completely the same swamp hmm well, we always cover guns so that they don’t hit the pointing part and it doesn’t happen without damage, it’s all iron, if you don’t twist it, it doesn’t take forever to repair a broken or damaged gun , replace a worn barrel, for this you need conditional service centers, specialists and spare parts. in the last

few months, the western artillery used by the armed forces of ukraine is being repaired in poland. germany promises to open its own service center in slovakia, for example, now german panzerholbes are being repaired in lithuania, according to spiegel there we even had to disassemble one of the installations due to the lack of parts to repair the others, because now in the west there is a shortage not only of art installations as such , but also of spare parts for them, here is the case of the buforce in swing in the orcher, in the case of sweden, the manufacturer of archer, they make barrels they have a supplier who deals with this and he may have another order, which complicates everything when the supply chain is international, everything can become more complicated because then sweden does not manage this supplier, the office when all parts of the system are produced in one company and it is state-owned , then the government simply gives orders. now you maximize production and everything will go well for

ukraine, but with private companies and an international supply chain. it is not so simple. ammunition is the key for artillery . in the west, after many years of disarmament, the production is not ready for work, elder roktam sleeps that the armed forces of ukraine now use from two to four thousand shells in 155 mm caliber every day, the pentagon officially announced that they plan to increase their production by spring from 14 to 20 thousand shells per month and up to 40 thousand by 2025 , this will require investments in companies, and

the companies themselves will not, rather, they will not want to invest money in production, we hope that this the war is ending soon and then the demand will not be so high for a while it will remain because the stocks in the warehouses have decreased but after that there will be too much capacity relative to the demand but it all comes down to political of decisions, the companies will not voluntarily invest in increasing production, this should be done through state decisions and funding. i am sure that the companies in the west are ready and want to support the supply of ammunition to ukraine, but not for free. it sounds harsh . completely, for example, soviet ammunition has already run out and it will take time for their production abroad to establish a sufficient number of markings on those that are currently being fired

ukrainian artillerymen in gelatin letters , the 462nd year of the projectile on the origin of the second month of the 22nd year of production, the ammunition we have is of the soviet model, the end of the ammunition, we do not have, therefore, a little differently, a little differently, a little subway flies here 150 to 200, well, roughly, they bring us lithuania, the czech republic, poland, somewhere around these countries, they will recently bring us an experimental batch of ukrainian-made ukroboronprom . quite good compared to the soviet artillery, the western one increased the accuracy and range of fire of the ukrainian troops, in addition , specialized high-precision

smart ammunition for german panzer excalibur howitzers, which are suitable for most western guns and allow firing at a range of up to 48 km, also appeared in the arsenal, the polish portal defense 24 reported on ukraine's purchase from germany of two hundred vulcan projectiles that can hit targets at a distance of up to 50 km or even up to 70 depending on mods munitions production in the west as a whole is potentially kind of a challenge because the production lines have not been maintained to provide huge quantities of complex munitions for something that requires guidance systems such as the stinger javelin missile ufo excalibur the production lines for much of these weapons have been working on small, limited batches for a very long time and it is very difficult to make something

more out of these productions to produce more ammunition in a short time i have no details all this very classified, but i know that there are steps to increase and double the production of, for example, javelins in the next four years, i suspect that it is about a certain balance of military stocks, primarily the united states, and that they are comfortable providing ukraine with these figures in the south of ukraine, at that time still a combat zone near the ingulets river in the distance an explosion occurs, the ammunition detonates, a well-disguised russian tank is destroyed with the first shot, how did we find the tank that is on the video, eh, it’s on the barrel itself, that is, they camouflaged it well, recognized eh in the trade winds decided to use high-precision anti-aircraft guns

, they hit, that is, the metals, the picture, all the data we could, we gave them and later during, well, during such an adjustment, it was just a direct question that the empty t-72 was destroyed, the artillery in this case was guided with the help of a commercial drone which the ukrainian military among themselves call a mattress because of the name of the matrix 300 model, its price is uah 1.5 million, and teamwork is important here , 22 remote controls, one cult of the pilot can be one, one remote controls the board, and the second paul controls with a hanging camera with a camera i have a zoom 200 multiple, that is, if even three, for example, it has a zoom 2800 winter cum, which allows us to reduce

distances, see the enemy’s positions, and also introduce better reconnaissance, conduct more detailed artillery by itself can perform combat tasks without help, but it is not capable on its own to win the war is the interaction of different units. and in the battles with russia , the speed of any joint actions in the non-stop online mode has become very important, the command can know and see what is happening on the battlefield and what moves should they make in the future, and also plus artillery adjustments, any artilleryman, we have general chats, we send them our broadcast, we have many guys who work and they can see it all in real time you see the targets and immediately direct your fire at them without even interfering with

us in particular. we just fly, we give a picture , they say that we are working, they correct themselves. it is very important, in general, to be a military expert , that is, there is a lot of interaction between units. in relation to this, that is, this one, this circle, we work artillery, artillery on the approach, that is, together. well, this is joint work. well, together we do not ensure our way to victory. if you count all the long-range artillery from 105 mm in the ukrainian army, it is already two dozen different systems and of the soviets and the west, according to the military, is a kind of zoo with which it is difficult to train people, repair shooting tables, which are different for different guns, for different ammunition, some western systems break down simply because before that were not tested in battles, but the ukrainian army

has no other way out, they have to learn and fight on what they can transmit, despite the caliber and station, i assume that part of the problem is that ukraine received guns and ammunition with training, but not everything that comes with them i think it is correct to say that western howitzers are not suitable for intensive warfare, they are designed for it, but for the style of conducting hostilities in the west, when logistics are always at hand, what specialists are there for repairs near the front line without of necessity from the cannon to the baltic countries or somewhere else and everything works when it is part of the western system of the western battlefield, but there was no time to prepare the ukrainian army as a western one from scratch, it is still a combination of ukrainian tactics and what the instructors in great britain or somewhere else told them because access in ukraine, well, during this

war, it will definitely live because a large number of artillerymen who are in the reserve will now be mobilized or have already been mobilized . they know how to work, it is necessary for the new equipment samples to retrain the mandatory staff , first of all, secondly, our repair units know how to repair this weapon, for example , modern installations, there are armor for paladins, we have to send it somewhere abroad for repair. so, i believe that the soviet-type installations will be until the end of the war fully perform their functions by destroying enemies

, everything depends on the team, yakiv from the team, when you already have a calculation that is already in the normal course, well, if you knock it down in the normal course, then everything will go like clockwork . well, even nothing will happen, but everything will be fast effectively politically, the countries of the west have long decided that they will support ukraine in the war with russia, because kyiv is also receiving new weapons and ammunition, on which the question of time is completely dependent, but the speed of decision-making in the west, as a rule, lags behind ukrainian requests, as was the case with the haimar installations or by air defense systems, and the delay during the war somehow affects the battlefield from russia, it was donbas realities my name is roman pagulych, see you, we are

looking for nine-year-old anastasia michno about the fate nothing has been known about this girl for about 7 months. unfortunately, the details of her whereabouts are also a lie. i only know that the child lived in the city of lysychansk in the luhansk region. it is likely that nastya was there with her mother. contact with them was cut off at the end of april. in july, the city completely passed under control of the occupiers, did the family manage to leave somewhere or are they still there? but they simply cannot report something about themselves, at least because of the lack of communication, i do not know, therefore i am asking especially the residents of lysychansk, who may be seeing me now on social networks, look closely at anastasia's photo, she has light blond hair and dark eyes, the girl looks maybe a little older than 9 years old, if

joined online broadcasts for studying. she told very alarming news that enemy shells began to fire over their house, she was very scared, and the very next day she lost contact with the girl , and to this day there is no news from her. liman was occupied for several months and there they were actively jamming the connection, i really hoped that this was why elizaveta could not call or write to anyone. but when the city was liberated, there was no news from the missing girl, so i very much ask everyone who sees me now to look carefully at the photo of elizaveta alyoshina. she is wearing she has glasses, dark eyes and short dark hair, the girl is thin, her height is about 160 cm, if anyone has seen her after april 25, or if anyone knows where she may be now, don't delay , dial from any mobile operator magnolia children tracing service short number 116 000 000 calls to the hotline are free or
