uh, fighter jets, they seem to be getting them, we’ll see , it remains to be seen, i think they’re just robbing the russians now, well, at least people, those rumors about the price of a fighter jet, well, the iranians demand uh, them for nothing, it will be, well, it will be a shame for the russians, they are ready for anything now, but they understand what a blow to their image it will be in the middle east, everyone will laugh , we'll see. while you, while the fighters are standing in the komsomol's on the sea in the far east at that factory and they are produced by the mi-35s above that, but right away you have to understand that domestic iranian dynamics are also somewhat different affects this process in a certain way although they are skillful players and even use i

am sure i can reconstruct you understand that we are entering the field of uncertainty so there are no specifics but we can make assumptions so my hypothesis is that er iranian negotiators even used twitter of the former president to show that the supply of arms to russia does not enjoy such support even from the establishment, which is true, but they will emphasize this, you see how we it is difficult for you. you have to put in extra effort to get what you need from us. these are the usual iranian practices of their diplomacy, so in the end, literally, very briefly, what is the situation in iran now ? spirit, well,

the forty-day cycle is not from the killing of the protester to the commemoration-remembrance-day when he is commemorated and people go out again, that is, the protests somewhere they managed to suppress more, somewhere they failed, the attacks continue, i don't think that the situation is ended no, this cycle of protests is still ongoing and i will not say that it is going on, well, these are exponentially upward but nevertheless, the potential for protest activity remains and the regime has lost legitimacy and iranian society has demonstrated for the first time unlike the previous protests, solidarity, unity as between different ethnic groups and between different social strata of the population thank you mr. serhiy for

helping to understand the middle eastern language issue in the middle but the deputy director of the middle eastern studies center was with us actually, while we were talking about dmitry medvedev's predictions about what the next year should look like and what will happen to the world, one of our viewers, who is an illustrator, sent me his drawing of a caricature of dmitry medvedev sitting in front of a tv screen he looks at putin and this and puts it under eh hmm eh drinking is probably cool, but there is just a sticker saying that it is russian vodka makes his predictions eh oles kovalke yes, i am an expert with us joins our ether olesya good morning i am not i know if you have read these forecasts from medvedev, but in those forecasts there are something like 10 points or how many, for some reason there is not a single word about china well, because medvedev probably

forgot that he recently went to china and has not written anything like that already well, in fact, china will play a significant, significant role in the game, i think will play next year because, as we know, china has already announced that it wants to renew its cooperation with russia, restore relations with the european union, which it has just damaged damaged due to russia's war with ukraine, that is, it also has a lot of plans in china for the next year, and one and the other do not contradict each other, these tasks contradict each other, but the chinese will try, if they separate, you can say these two issues , because they believe that the war well, they are not involved, they are not involved in the war, to er incitement before this war, that is why they believe

that they cannot be if, uh, they cannot be imposed some kind of sanctions, or that is, they would not want china to suffer because of russia's war, or rather because of russia's actions, because it believes that the issue is its relations with europe and the united states they do not depend on relations with russia. i understand that today in taiwan i announced that next year there will be no demobilization for those who are serving and this is due to the fact that there is an increased danger of an attack by china. is this really next year ? surprises well, let me remind you that also yesterday, a record-breaking number of about 500 violated, well, crossed this conditional line, which is actually not fixed anywhere. which russia will also remain a very important question for both china and the united states, but this is a question of its own

relations between china and the united states rather than let's say there is some kind of global problem, well, they will monitor it, instead, our forecast , we say to chinese experts, is that there will be no war for taiwan next year, because china itself does not need this war, you understand, the intensification of these conflicts around of taiwan took place in august after nancy pilosi's visit, and in fact, if the united states did not, let's say, the chinese call it a provocation and they believe that it is the united states that provokes the most aggressive policy regarding taiwan, although before the visit of the pilots there were no such events . by the way, about this visit, zelensky's visit to washington took place in parallel with medvedev's visit to beijing. this is some kind of coincidence. is

this some kind of demonstration? gathering because medvedev's visit was neither official nor working. it was contacts along the party lines, as was indicated, the contacts of the chairman of the salt of the earth and the chairman of the communist party of china, medvedev, are united russia and that's all. that is, he did not even go there as a representative of the state, let's say a representative of russia, or from some official position, it was between party negotiations. but i think that this is the format that russia sold against the background of the fact that all the children do not want to enter into any kind of communication with putin now, and medvedev simply brought him putin's message under this sauce, yes. that is, there were no negotiations regarding, uh, regarding any state visits, that is, putin wants to meet with these dvinkina, he is invited to russia next year and it will be the 40th meeting, it seems, in person for all

for years, let's say coexistence, but so far this issue has not been resolved on the chinese side, there is still no final date or agreement , even if he arrives in the meantime. from the minister of foreign affairs of china, wangi , a statement appeared that china intends to deepen cooperation with russia next year, and he also assured of an impartial position regarding ukraine, but will this cooperation with russia result in russia receiving aid with the help of which it will wage war in ukraine first of all, of course. well, yes everything that strengthens the russian army, we have already said a lot that we will not supply weapons to china because it contradicts its position in any conflict. he said that he does not interfere. if he supplied weapons to

the ukrainian-russian conflict zone, it would hit vadim with the critical positions of china i think that russia's support, if it exists, can result in the supply of some things there for the army, for example, warm clothes, some tactical equipment for the army. but we use it a lot with chinese tactical equipment in the world's armies, and i think the same what is this here, here, here, we know this in our country, in our country, we act according to the service that the seal of our enemy is from our enemy, and the chinese will reach another, that the friend of my friend my friend yes, that is, he interprets this situation with russia a little differently, that is he does not think that the war with ukraine should affect his relations with his relations. yes, i emphasize his own relations with russia because vot and no one can influence it, not russia, not ukraine, not the united

states, that is, he he conducts his policy towards ukraine in the same way do you understand your policy? russia also does not influence the policy of, for example, china regarding ukraine. instead, we simply do not act very much. chinese were also infected with covid in china, which at the beginning of the pandemic two more than two years ago, and it seems like an eternity ago, in fact, and many admired his chinese model of fighting the zero-covid coronavirus today it looks like china is perhaps the worst example and perhaps in the end they will have perhaps one of the worst postmortem rates if they if indeed everything will continue like this i think

that this policy that the chinese are currently pursuing is a policy of quickly obtaining collective immunity yes and what we have been going to for years, let's say two years have passed in order to get collective immunity, the chinese decided to quickly cancel the very strict measures and now they say everything, everyone will get sick, and there, how will it be? yes, that is, earlier such a policy was supported by another state where already millions of people have died. yes, there is no such thing in china, let's see. i don't know in any research and currently they are spreading in china, but micron, which is a very high degree of spread, on the other hand, it has a very low level of human the mortality rate, yes, that is, if the chinese can cope with, let’s say, the severe variants of this disease, then they will not have such massive deaths there. although now it is

really very large. a very large number , well, compared to what was before after the cancellation of these measures and the sick and er and the dead, on the other hand, china is not going, as we can see now, to strengthen any quarantine measures , and that is, he has now let this situation go er, but i understand that these are approximate data about, for example, 250 million diseases, this is a fantastic number - it's one in five actually but i understand whether this information is filtered or it's open they do n't talk about mortality previously, they even reported on infections with e.e. covid, which are not. now i will tell you

which ones are not, well, they are asymptomatic, yes, they are asymptomatic, even these, now they do not do this, and they are also very allowed to give statistics on mortality, but they give the facts of new infections, and this is true a huge number well, in the meantime, germany has already said that the pandemic has ended in their country, er, another approach was er, vaccination was done in time, they did a little bit to reduce the possible contacts between people, but then again, people acquired their immunity and the country continues to live normally and there is no longer a pandemic, what is interesting is just how much this situation is now with the passing of this peak and uh, will it affect or how will it affect the growth of the gdp on the growth of the chinese economy, since the chinese are a global player, how will it affect the world economy as a whole if uh, if they will be like this, how will it affect the growth of

china's economy next year? plus, china has already not reached the indicators it wanted this year, that is, it wanted 5% growth, but it will be lower, maybe 3.5. well, we will wait. i.e., the final official data will be available sometime in january, we will see, but really china is an engine, before china accounted for about 15-17 percent of the growth of the global economy. of the economy as a whole, it decreased by half. of course, this is the main problem. i think that by march, i want to think that the chinese, with these measures, that they want people to get sick now, and sometime in march there after in march, in may, they will already reach some other indicators and this wave will subside and they will just open china, they want to

open china because they are already canceling the quarantine upon arrival, chinese airlines are starting to fly to foreign countries, that is, this is the policy here, that is, they are in parallel with the lifting uh, anti-covid measures, they open up more specifically economic for economic activity. well, during the conversation koval of china, an expert, was with us, we talked a little about what china breathes, uh, they except in addition, we see that the chinese methods of combating the pandemic are working a little poorly, so to speak, and now we will move a little further. let's talk about aviation . mask responded to

medvedev's prophecies, i promised our viewers to say, well, what was the mask of a technical and technological genius and voted that he was a bit of a genius in something well, but in some very such well, meanwhile, no grease liked the fact that musk will become the president of the united states of america next year, and he said that i am quoting this now, the mask is definitely the most absurd predictions that have ever been heard. well, in addition, he added that at the same time, the predictions of a russian official demonstrate a striking ignorance of progress of artificial intelligence and sustainable energy eh hmm that just became energy there was also artificial intelligence about artificial intelligence almost

recently milan wrote that it is necessary to negotiate with artificial intelligence artificial intelligence is not understanding crimea, this is a big problem of ukrainians that it is not just that they did not realize it, but in the future everything will be decided by artificial intelligence and the world world behind the scenes, led by the world international and artificial intelligence, lord , simple milovanov, where are you sleeping, make a joint chat with medved, you will correspond with me and in there will be a lot of you dynamo, you can, in principle, the mask goes there too valery romanenko, an expert in aviation, joins us, let's talk a little about the city of engels, where he recently flew, and of course, we were blown away by that ukrainians feel more comfortable. we want other cities to also repeat the same experience of engels. they took it over, so to speak. valery. we wish you a good morning on

our broadcast. with other russian cities , what are the difficulties, well, there are no big difficulties, all the other bases of russian aviation are possible bases of russian strategic aviation or long-range aviation, they will name them, they call it even closer to engels are located, so it will be easier to hit them. the only base, which, well, the two bases that are further in operation, is in arenihirsk, murmansk region, and there is another base that can be decommissioned. the mozdoku base has now been closed for several years. up to 160 strategic bombers. engels is the only base where they can be serviced by qualified

personnel, just a matter of fact. well, they said that it was assumed that the strike was carried out at that time against the serizan airport, er, or lithuania military with the help of these tu-141 swifts. i don't know if this version looks the most likely. if so, how many of those swifts do we still have or what? how many do we still have the opportunity to modernize them? well, in general, how much can the russians also adapt, for example their air defense system, in order to shoot them down more successfully, there were two raids on engels. engels covers the 911th anti-aircraft missile regiment, which has two divisions. the s400 division is a long-range missile and the e-e armor division is a complex which

specialized actually in the destruction of drones, you see the results that on december 5 , that on december 26, yes, that is, in general, no result. so, in terms of the number, it is in relation to the russian air defense, in terms of the number of drones in general, these vr-2 strij or tu-141 were at the kharkiv aviation plant, they were produced, they were built not so many somewhere around 152 and they have been used for a long time, that is, we have a few of them left, but they have been used. well , the effectiveness of these means, if it is really a swift, of course, because we do not confirm and do not we refute these data, then their effectiveness depends on what tasks they will be aimed at, if they will be aimed at disrupting massive strikes on our

infrastructure, as it happened on december 26, then we have enough of them if even we have 20-30 of them there left yes. that is, you see two drones enough to disrupt a massive raid with a strike on the command control center of a large airbase, after that a strike from the sea already loses its meaning because the number of missiles is not enough for a bass strike and a breakthrough against the air envelope, that is, in fact, you think that this strike on engels foiled this attack that the russians were preparing for christmas, well, judging by the fact that the strike was not a political attack, but the task at the control room was actually to disrupt the raid and that it succeeded because after that the russians raised well, there are up to a dozen different sources estimate the number varies from 6 to 10 planes, their

bombers are here 95 er-er, so they flew into the air how my former editor-in-chief really disliked this phrase yes, because she is there riot police, but in this case, it means that you did not just rise up in the air and flew somewhere, most likely to ukrainka, which is 100 km from the chinese border, oh, a row, in general, ukraine is, well, space-wise, and how much, oh , russia cannot actually support its space uh program without without ukraine can we not develop uh some kind of such missiles, i don’t know, maybe for this we need some underground plants protected which would eventually well, let’s say in a year, but they would put, well, that is, every russian attack would have in such case, some kind of retribution action. and you

want to ask why we didn’t develop rockets, yes, the question is, can we quickly develop them there , i don’t know, in a few months, and launch them into mass production, does it generally look like a fantastic idea or not, well, that is, we do not say, we understand that the americans will not give us tomahawks, but can we make our own tomahawks, not now, not now, in such conditions, there are no enterprises that were able to develop and produce these missiles, they are now under attack, and the effectiveness of their work to attracted such conditions, it is already low. but before the war, samples of e-e cruise missiles and anti-aircraft e-e missiles were developed, and we could in general, if we paid attention to this, we could have our own e-e anti-aircraft missile complexes, because we are all complexes which we receive, they are based on medium-range aviation missiles,

we produced such f-27 missiles in kyiv at the artem plant, which means , er, the missiles of the complex mean, er, what kind of er did moscow suffer. they could also be produced in large quantities, their range is sufficient in order for us to leave in fact, all russian airfields of front-line tactical aviation, yes, that is, there was a bi-series production, the situation would be much better if we produced drones, which we had quite a lot of manufacturers of drones, which means that since the 14th year, their generally huge number has become any decent the company started to produce drones. we would also have a much better situation, but the resources were directed a little in a different direction. well, here again, science is included in us, as bitology is revealed in history, there is still a section like this

an alternative that studies what could have been well, at least assumes well, but you know, it was possible to choose chornovol instead of kravchuk, or at least not to give up nuclear weapons, and maybe history would have gone a different way, in that case, at least we would now be at some other point yes alternative history - this is a very, very popular type not only of literature, but unfortunately we live in this er in this part of history and every day it is interesting to valery er the new strategy for the reform of the russian army involves the creation of flying associations of 80-100 helicopters and new strike groups of aviation, tell me how realistic it is and how it can end in view of our new air defense systems. see what it includes. it means repeating the mistake of the

beginning of world war ii, that is, the russians made sure that their as a part of large units such as air armies, it is not able to fulfill the tasks entrusted to it , i.e. to suppress ukrainian air defense, to dominate our territory, and to terrorize the civilian population, to violate the logistics of the armed forces, all these points have not been fulfilled. what are the russians doing? they are not bringing their aviation to the level of artillery, that is, to every e-e, which means the main message of their reform . each army, whether tank or combined army, will have one aviation division and one army aviation brigade, i.e. e-e level that is, it means the tasks of the air armies, what are they, uh, now

they were uh, there were four air armies, they were not reduced to just logistics and technical support, let's see what actually comes out, it comes out just reformatting of russian aviation units, now the russians have 11 combined armies , which means each, well, i will repeat the main message once again, each army will have one army aviation brigade, one mixed aviation brigade , let's see what it has, what we have now, let's take the military districts adjacent to our territory, this is the western military district of the russian armed forces and the south-western survey. now he has three tank armies, two e-e combined forces. there is one army aviation brigade, he had to start with the army and

two regiments, which means that there will be regiments added to the brigades, that is, some number of e-e transport helicopters were added, and because the brigade is such a more versatile tool than the regiment, that is, in fact, the same parts will be re-formed. a military district has one division and one separate regiment , which means that they will not be able to form three divisions for three armies , that is, what do they imagine, how do they imagine the formation of eight new bomber regiments when they currently have 4.5 of them. and the total production of bombers this year actually included as many as eight aircraft, that means the main

thing will be . three bolts and there will be divisions of two regiments and thus means some uh in some in some positions this plan will be carried out in general nothing so radical do not mark that in fact it will state that what is happening now, because already their aviation is now reduced to tactical missions, such as prifrovy, e-e missions. thank you mr. valery for this explanation. valery romanenko and the special aviation forces were with us. it was the fourth hour of our marathon. lesya ukrainka. before iryna koval appears in our etaria, uh, there was news from the

bundestag, yes. in fact, they called the shul government's alarmingly short-sighted refusal to provide tanks to ukraine, yes, yes, the bundestag is not satisfied, i know what else the information appeared. and the force published how the fortunes of ukraine's richest ukrainians changed. well, akhmetov fell the most, but he is still the richest ukrainian. well, now he only has four and a half billion dollars, so he had four and something times that of novinsky, and his fortune also fell by 3.5 times, so the metallurgy itself hasn't changed around here. it's the itvians who are already billionaires there or multi-millionaires here. well, in principle, everyone fell, eh, the top five are about the same as there were all kinds of kolomoisky pinchuks. everyone is more or less in place. well, it's eleven o'clock on the clock, which means that time news iryna koval is listening to you
