between the euro-atlantic partners from different sides of the ocean, in particular, at one time they shamed germany, which does not pay a few percent of the necessary additional to its military budget, and this applies not only to germany, and accordingly , in this way, the united states encourages its european partners to invest in their own security, and in particular, it is also about strengthening of various euro-atlantic structures on the european continent, the policy of the united states was then already heard about the need to increase the deduction to nato, well, that is, on its weapons, and in february it was even announced nato will be held in europe in europe. where was the minimum financing of the armed forces actually discussed? russia's war against ukraine showed that europe was very childish about the threat of russian aggression, it is more obvious today. therefore, on the other hand, this is a very positive moment, i honestly dream of the fact that

the 100-year-old idea of ​​creating a multi-black sea union, where we will play a key role , was implemented, the prime minister of great britain spoke about this at the beginning of the large-scale creation berlin johnson well, he didn't directly talk about it, but he ran away from it, they even talked about it before the start of the large-scale design, a wheeled vehicle could run here and the same problem. turkey built a security line in a completely different way, but for this you need money, and of course the european union, which lived there for a long time everything is fine, we are there, we can buy russian gas under contracts, it is not very expensive, everything is fine with us and nothing will happen, everything will be fine, now we reevaluate these things in a different way, because for me personally, the appeal was revealing german president steinmeier is the same author of the so-called form, only a timer, in fact he was the author of the minsk agreements, who said that russia is no longer a friend or a friend to us, moreover, even a hooligan, the helper of angels merkel, who is actually, in my opinion, the author of what is called a so -called cock, that is, what can i say i

cannot, who is now the head of the munich security and conference a long time ago, he also said that we now look at the security component of nato europe in a different way, including and we can absolutely freely talk about what ukraine should be a member of the northern meat certificate. for me, this means that the security belt in europe will not be rebuilt as it was before february 24, 2022, and this is very important, the only thing that is necessary now is, of course, absolutely correct if you said a, speak and b, that is, if you said that i would be a danger, do something about it, what is meant, allocate funds to increase military power, then it will be okay, then there is no need to keep military paratroopers of the united states of america in romania, because without them you cannot now cope with a possible russian this is what i mean. where are they presented on the spot, that is, there are a lot of nuances, a lot of the moment, she really controls the situation now, they are controlling her and they are emerging, build up military power so that the muscovites do not come to you like cockroaches. that is all that needs to be done. well, to

be honest, council from the fact that the discussion is like this in europe already there are already normal statements, normal considerations on this matter, how will their defense and power develop further but again, i well, for now, i would like to hear more specific terms of entry ukraine to nato, because by the 24th, we couldn't even dream, boy. well, the whole discussion was focused on the fact that somewhere, once, somehow and for some reason, yes, and today about it, well, more or less objectively, name the specific terms, now it's not important, there is no war in ukraine you should talk about it out loud, because the military power of ukraine is almost the same as it is there, well, about the patriots. we did n't even dream about the patriots yesterday, today we have it in our arsenal today, of course, there are many questions about the system of organizing the activities of the armed forces of course. in the context of nato standards but in this vein it is possible to develop well, and finally, valeriu, i would like to ask you and if we take the terms, when do you think we should wait for the french tanks? yes, and what still needs to happen

in order for us to receive these or other leopards. well, if the abrams already don’t give it, it’s possible the second leopards uh, well, at the expense of the chamberlains, i’ll say that the repair mechanical base for them could be done within a month, and one hundred percent at the expense of french light tanks, you know, i’m doing analytics for myself yes, if they said that they will, it means that they are already there , no one sees them, no one knows, but somewhere they are already there, very close to that. let's comment for now. you know, we will comment on the account of leopards. well, maybe a month, maybe two . at the most, we will have them. quickly solved especially if there is already a precedent, we should talk about it out loud , because the supply of leopard tanks is literally just around the corner of course there is a certain technical problem with regard to the new video of weapons in germany, but they supposedly already solved it there i think they will quickly replace the leopards. moreover, you are the pc of germany. it is very

powerful here, well, it is difficult to deny the best in europe. is only conditionally combat-capable, this is recognized in the ministry of defense of the federal republic of germany, it is potentially a very cool machine, but there is allegedly not enough data about its combat capability, and again, this is a barrier to its use in the near future, but this is only public information public statements thank you valery klochok, the head of the center for public analytics, the tower was working now live on the espresso tv channel, an extremely interesting and productive conversation. well, after the paris decision on tanks, the germans promised new supplies of weapons to ukraine, we will not stop supplying weapons to ukraine, good

signals our european partners in the baltic countries are always the flagships of some kind of forward movement and vision of the future, and now i would like to draw attention to the message of the commander of the estonian defense forces lieutenant general martin heren, who in one of his last articles noted that the war of the russian federation against ukraine ended because of aggression, hatred , the occupiers’ need for revenge, and also believed in their strength and rightness. we are ready for the next stage of russia in the future is such an extremely important signal well, we are going further information and analytical day of the espresso tv channel in the midst of the 15th hour 36th minute khrystyna yatskiv and antin berkovskii well, now let's talk in particular about journalistic work about how important it is for you to record everything that is happening

now on our fronts, contact us ihor zakharenko, journalist and volunteer igor, we congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes i congratulate you well i would like to ask you how did you become a travel blogger to the military so you are like the founder of a group of companies travel extravaganza well, you became a military correspondent and a volunteer, respectively, tell me, please , this is your path well, there is nothing strange here, because this is not a new profession for me if you remember the events on the maidan in 2013-2014 , and that's when i took a lot of photos on the maidan, and the most famous shots are the shots of the shooting on the maidan, do you remember the sniper lying on the ground shooting or aiming there, as well as the voice-over voice, don't shoot in the

mouth, those are the footage was exactly mine, and then it was the most famous footage of the maidan. after that, i started traveling to the east in the 14th and 15th years as a volunteer, as a journalist, that is, they brought some help for our fighters. well, i also filmed a lot of documentaries i also filmed about azov one day on the front lines , even over there pisky area of ​​the donetsk airport well, a lot, a lot. that is, this is already a familiar profession for me. and of course when we were preparing for war and we were preparing for war, we didn’t ask a lot what i would be to do, that is, i had two options. and it was either to take a weapon in my hands or to take a camera and shoot, and on the first day, uh, we went to register with the teroborod, since there were a lot of volunteers,

but there were few weapons, so it was decided that we should to engage in information warfare and show the world what is happening in ukraine, and how do you generally evaluate our ukrainian fatherland, so to speak, an information war , but recently we learned the news from uh, behind the bars there, putin, so to speak, said to create another of their fake epics about russian- the ukrainian war, well, we imagine that they don’t film as they edit, and all the narratives are so to speak understandable. in our country, so to speak, not with counter-propaganda, but with the aim of filming what is happening correctly and accurately and it happened at the front. i think i'm sure we won the information war, we'll win, but you can't relax, and again, there were different stages at the beginning of the war, remember

there was a big problem when many foreign journalists didn't want to be issued accreditation, they didn't let journalists' magazines shoot everything, especially they didn't allow filming of war crimes there, but then there was a lot of publicity, and i myself took part in it, well, after that, the situation improved. do you also remember when journalists were not allowed there again? there were quite a few scandals to film and/or show and cover some events, and that is why, you know, foreign journalists are used to being free and they must show it to the world. nevertheless, journalists cover it, we mutually cover the truth and we will win the information war as well, here you are you know, you said about russian propaganda very recently, uh, they made another

story like that, french journalists, do you remember a few days ago, a group of french journalists was suspected live , yes, yes, because it was our team with my son and here it is. they experienced everything, they saw everything, and then on the second day, they watched and showed, and even the french, for example, were discussed for what they experienced , the french, yes, they were there and what russian propaganda shows, and they simply destroyed in live on french television they destroyed this russian propaganda and such plots i know very, very much ago watch russian propaganda, it usually works on the domestic market, of course we have many useful idiots who spread it here as well you inform us that we have to do our work and we have to do our best to honestly cover all the events that take place. and again,

when our country did not allow foreign journalists to cover what events. many journalists said that if such a situation were to happen , impose on us and they will impose this propaganda from the ukrainian side, then we will not cover the events in ukraine, this was after the events in kherson, do you remember when journalists were not allowed until the president was actually there there was a question of how journalists went there, accordingly, the work was carried out by the armed forces and there was approval from the armed forces. but that’s what they say, igor. you very aptly noted that there is a certain difference in the perception of foreign journalists of their work in the world and ukrainian journalists, very often ukrainian journalists they suspect, well , let me say in the trade of emotions, because we are all tangential to the war that is taking place

. we cannot be aloof. reactions in particular and do you feel that your work is valued, for example, somewhere in the world abroad, less than the work of your foreign colleagues, journalists must honestly show all their work and illuminate honestly show and cover events, of course there are many nuances there are some important objects and prohibited positions there, thank you, there are rules, but a journalist must first of all cover the events, and i will not say that any of the journalists there work worse or better, some are more famous or not, for example, i can talk about myself i won't talk about others, but there are many ukrainian journalists who i am proud of whom i cross paths with, i

work more for the foreign market, you can say yes for the world, because it is very important for us to support civilized education so that we the whole world helped him from the first day, and now i called my french friends, i said something must be done, the situation must be changed, and they came there, this is the largest european channel, and immediately they were there, i wanted to film, you know, the broken columns russian equipment is broken there. well, there they say, no, we need to show the war crimes of russia, and show them so that the whole world is with us. they asked about emotions, but they were also emotions, because you can imagine the whole of europe there. everything is calm. they turn on the tv at 8 o'clock, for example, to watch the news. in france , first they show the weather forecast, but then before events in the world, of course, every news about

ukraine. and of course, we also talked about some emotions, but these emotions we conveyed were true emotions and they helped let's show us the truth, they helped ukraine get the support of the world, and i'll say more dear mr. igor, the fact that our journalists , in particular, you, worked so actively in the french direction may have led to the fact that president macron announced that it is possible that they will supply us light but french tanks thank you very much for your work, mr. ihor ihor zakharenko, a journalist became a volunteer, the founder of a group of companies, a traveling extravaganza, let's take a look at one of the materials authored by mr. ihor zakharenko merry christmas and happy new year.

thank you to all the people, to all the good normal people from civilized countries who care about the defense of democrats all over the world . brothers , we loved you and we love you, there is a path together, and a couvelt yuliya glitches, i want to congratulate you on christmas and the coming new year, i congratulate you again on a ready christmas for ukraine and the whole world, and i wish all of us victories and a happy new year

hour my dears thank you to our bulgarian friends for one you know the deadliest tools in this war for the spg-9 with which we do death to the enemies very effectively in our skillful hardworking ukrainian hands this french tour milan thank you french brothers merry christmas happy new year we will all buy crystals with the new new year, i wish all of us victory. glory to ukraine.

i would like to congratulate everyone on the upcoming new year holidays and wish our victories as soon as possible and the return of everyone to a calm and moderate life. merry christmas and happy new year, dear friends, merry christmas, happy

new year, let the russians be happy as part of himersa, you have an informational and analytical day of the espresso tv channel. in the midst of this extremely moving and correct plot , which should work for our foreign audience, we suggest moving to a detailed analysis of what is done both on the battlefield and and in general, in our difficult arms competitions, oleg katkov, the chief editor of defense-express, is with us in connection with a kind invitation. glory to ukraine, mr. oleg glory . thank you for the invitation. well, the news is of course light. french tanks in your opinion. when can we expect to wait? well, i don’t know. a couple of minutes ago, one of our experts, valery klochok, said that if they are already talking about what they will be, maybe they already are. and in general, how do you evaluate their tactical and technical characteristics? well, when they will be, let it

will really be a surprise, including the enemy, and at the same time, when france already declares that something is being transmitted there, then with a high degree of probability they are already, let’s say, faster than the strength of the armed forces or already approaching as much as possible and in sufficient quantity, we hope that because it was not reported about it, because it is precisely these tanks of wheeled washing machines, let's call it, it will appear in the armament of the armed forces of ukraine, at the same time, when we are talking about the whole imx-10rsi, there are two. by the way, the first in in the armed forces of france itself, it is classified as a light tank, it is called a combat wheel , a reconnaissance combat vehicle, but 15-meter guns are still 15 mm, so it can be called a wheeled tank, and its capabilities are like that. it must be understood that it was created, well , in particular in the 70s, of course, in the last years it was used in the french army, and after that

a huge amount of modernization took place, but it must be understood that its place. a machine that was created for expeditionary operations for, let's say, war patrols and well, according to the concept that the french came up with when they saw exactly where, most likely, they could have active combat actions, uh, well, for understanding even in in the 1990s, they were modernized, such armor was installed on it that protected it additionally, because initially it was in the region this machine with aluminum armor that can only protect against bullets, but steel combat well armored elements were placed on it until the 1990s and the level of protection rose to e-e 23 mm e from 300 m, that is, the french perfectly understood that, most likely, in the 90s, the enemy would not be an infantry fighting vehicle

among 100 million guns, but a zu-23-2 mounted on a pickup truck and in any case it is impossible to talk about pros and cons. there is a list of this machine and yes it is wheeled. it has a 105 million cannon, but this cannon uses non-standard ammunition, despite the fact that the caliber is allegedly nato, there is special ammunition for it, because the french tried to push it into this hull the dimensions of the tower are such a caliber, and a slightly weaker charge was used there, so and so is this caliber. for example, will it be able to burn a russian tank? in other western tanks, it is a specific ammunition and it actually has, well, quite limited damage, well, the selected penetration, therefore, in the combat frontal projection, it

cannot fight with tanks at the same time, such bodies as bmp btr well, long-term firing points do not pose any difficulty for this machine it was created precisely to counteract such forces. that is, this is its specificity . it has wheel luck, this is also a specific chassis, because, for example, it has wheels , they do not, well, they do not change their position. they are stable, always straight, and the turn is made by blocking on one side of the hull, as well as for vehicles to carry out certain offensive operations. whether it is looking at how exactly to approach their use, well, in order to again indicate the answer to say about the fact that uh, we are talking about a wheeled combat vehicle. it has an excellent operational mobility, but low cross-country ability in the area, eh, that is, it seems to me that with eh, in the case of the transfer of a

significant number of machines, it is possible to form ready-made units directly from them, which were armed with them, well, let's say so to change the load or to logistics and use them as an operational reserve , for example in the case of a developed one, when we understand what it means that a kilometer border with belarus can turn into a front line, then in this case it is necessary to have such a fire reserve with the appropriate fire power and mobility at the operational-tactical level and at the same time well, you need to understand that it can be used as a means of terrorizing the enemy, because it is again a reconnaissance vehicle, it has an excellent aiming and detection system targets, including with thermal imagers, allows only what is possible there, for example, at night, even with a stable front, to go out and have nightmares about which new points of the enemy, the third aspect, if necessary, it is possible to use it and close the subscription positions as well, let's say that, what rz sau well, and finally when we can talk about such breakthroughs as during the

kupyan offensive, then this is generally what the whole machine was created for, in principle , that is, the exit to the breakthrough, that is, not the creation of the breakthrough itself, but the exit to the breakthrough is already in effect on the bodies of the enemy, and for this purpose, one of which is the immx defense of russia, which was actually created for this task, editors, after our artillery had worked on makiivka in russia, a completely natural noise rose up and reached the heavens, that is, their ministry of defense tried to cover, so to speak, their huge fakap well, they started talking about the destroyed high mars. that's how the administration of the white house denied it, and ours didn't confirm this, but it's as if a signal is coming that maybe we're getting additional rsvv if you believe the americans that it could be hymars again, because they were announced, even he is wrong, the number

was announced, well, 18 units, but well, approximately to the church of additional ones, that is, this is the new google proof from scratch and they are transferred. that is , it means that the firstly, the cotton will not become significantly larger, this is a separate positive aspect , secondly, most likely, the issue regarding the production and increase in the production of shells from jamalars to highmars has been resolved, because you always have to remember what exactly to transfer iron, for example, an artillery system or a jet system or a missile system, then this is not enough, it is necessary to constantly transfer the ammunition itself directly to it, and therefore well, simply, this is a process, including the increase in the number of highmars, and just taking into account the already transferred pluses that are transferred in the form of m- 270s from the european allies, by the way , we also rely on those indicators, which were announced earlier or as of the spring about half a hundred high-mars there, they say that this is exactly the number needed, at the time it was considered well some kind of fantasy, but fantasy becomes equality. olezhe is another extraordinary event,

although you will probably appreciate how old it is. how old is it? but still, military exercises and the use of hypersonic missiles. as the dictator putin himself says, what is zircon? and what can it provoke? and in general, can it provoke the north atlantic alliance? subsonic speed, that is, somewhere around four or five miles away, it reaches it with a solid-fuel engine. that is, it accelerates after that, it already loses speed and is already like an ordinary rocket at a speed of about mach 1.5-2, that is, it was 2,000 km is already planning on the target because they showed uh how it strikes directly and there is of course a camera, well, it

can be seen on it, as it is visible on several frames. if it had a speed there, it really is five moves, then of course it would not have hit the camera in any way principles a-a does it somehow provoke i think absolutely not, that is, it is possible that the story will be the same as with admiral kuznetsov, because even the route is somewhat similar, because they said that gorshkov will go across the atlantic, through the mediterranean sea to the indian ocean, and it is quite clear that this is most likely his real route, that is, he it will go through gibraltar into the mediterranean sea, it will go to syria, there is a kartus base, where it will be in service for a certain time, because these ships of the frigate type, they are actually not very autonomous, that is, they have a limited range well, seafaring itself, and after that he will go to the indian ocean, and it seems to me that, most likely, it is about the fact that he will call at least one port, for example, and it will be

such a courtesy visit, that is , the reason is that iran at one time flooded africa and sailed to st. petersburg with such a visit. that is, well, all this will be somehow like this. well, in any case, we understand that our euro-atlantic allies, so to speak, can send more than one admiral gorshkov to the bottom if he plays too much. well, accordingly i would also like to ask you to analyze the current capabilities of the russian federation in the near future, that is, they are transporting equipment and personnel, in particular, we are talking about the situation in the south. well, they are transporting, but the fact is that sometimes there are such problems that are carried out, for example the rashists themselves. i understand that you have to be quite skeptical about them because it can be an element of disinformation, but some things are indicative. and this is what was expected. in particular , it is about the fact that one of the divisions

for everything we are talking about the entire first guards tank regiment tanks were delivered that on paper are tanks but in fact there are incomes to the fact that one shoots but does not drive but does not shoot in the third, for example, there is simply no radio station and the designer begins with a borisoba himself, but uh, that’s how the general comes to the unit that is supposed to be engaged in repairs and restoration of the so-flooded one, to sort it out, the russian says that everything is fine, all the equipment is ready for combat , go, go fight. that is, this is nature because, again, when we talk about its weapons there transfer to the front in particular including
