and you, in ukrainian land, from the 300,000 that were recruited last fall, we also understand that this is a resource that is important, that will definitely add and to this day adds trouble, and requires additional efforts from us. but at the same time, we have er, i will repeat again, we have no other land, we have no other choice, of course we will grind them, either in soledar, or under bakhmut, or in other areas of the ukrainian front, the advance of the russians, which they ensured during this of the week it is definitely pyro the victories of a small, smaller or larger scale, because we understand, we see what losses they bear, these losses are confirmed, including the development of our partners, we understand that these are hundreds of creatures placed in ukrainian land for 100 m of ukrainian land, er, well, that

is, they are not worth of the advancements they have gained, it is time to use this moment when, well, as if the announced weapons have still arrived and there is some sort of reformation at our front in order to gain at least some, well, there are important, not important, different ones, let’s say yes, the positions of uh, and even this is not just throwing manpower there, for example, there has not been a beating of the russian air force for a long time. and in the last week, three su-25s have already been shot down. that is, these are already involved aircraft, it means that they are actively conducting offensive actions, or are they now eh, well, they are looking for places for these offensive actions, what is happening 50 because they did not use aviation, well, they almost did not

use it as they do now, well, this can be considered what they have, well, they need to see how our anti-aircraft works defense, because we received a lot of ppp tools from our partners, they want to see how they work. well, they looked and saw that they work well. first of all, secondly, about the so-called front line, when we look at the map and there is some kind of border drawn where our military personnel are located and years, servicemen of the russian federation, well, this is , by and large, a little bit of a conventional line of such a line, well, there is no such clear line. places, well, in the fields, where for several kilometers there are no mountain legs of our troops at all, that is, it cannot be said that there is such a clear line, the line of contact, you can say that certain places are counter- controlled either by our armed

forces or the armed forces of the russian federation , so it is assumed that they are surrounded by bakhmut piled up solidar that they will somehow change the front line well, let's once again there is no such front line as we are used to according to some movie that we watched there about the first or second world war now if only from the idea of ​​a slightly different war there are certain groups in certain places , so there is no need to worry that they are somehow trying to do something powerful, the main thing for us is to control the roads along which we can deliver supplies - deliver ammunition, er, rotate people, because people cannot be in combat all the time they need to bring themselves to the weapons, clean the weapons at least. that is , there must be certain rotations, there must be certain medical assistance, because it is cool, people can just catch a cold. excuse me, this is our to a trifle, but we need a frigate or something to

drink there. therefore, for the time being, we control the main roads that supply, from which we can go to camp for our army, and believe that they will make significant progress somewhere. well, they say correctly that they are starting to exhale, they are already the guys who are directly on the battle and what they tell, they say that we continue like this, but there is such a premonition that they are already losing strength and it is already at the last strength, so they say that they are trying to do these actions, well, let's see. give o god, i wish it would happen, oleksiy. i want to question you then . look, you said about the roads , well, if we say around bakhmut, then the siver and bakhmut road, well, practically, well, the russians are on it. it can definitely be shot through very well in several places there, i am not sure at all that it is possible to move along it, but how did it affect, for example

, the capture of a tick on the road that goes from bahmut to there, uh, kostiantynivka could go in that direction, because, well, this is the key in principle the road to provide bakhmut now, well, the roads, they used to be under fire control of the enemy, just like theirs there, certain places of movement are under our fire control, so you know these roads completely. well, let's talk about the road. it’s just that if it’s some kind of road, well, rural roads, as they used to say, without asphalt, it’s hard to move on them when there’s a thaw, now the weather is cool, by and large, you can work and, well, you can also move there well, usually this is done in small groups. well, they do it in the same way. the russians do it in small groups. the transport moves

at a low speed. so far. so far, they have not been able and will not be able to advance to konstantinovka, this place. yes , we are. i think that losing it would be very unpleasant for our armed forces. then we would have to think about some new logistics, how is it, how to do it, so far, this once again has a significant impact on everyone, on the course of the war , uh, these actions are not in the big picture, after all, it is not a political sense within the russian federation in order to show certain successes. so there are fierce battles here right now, the front line that is being pressed about is nowhere , it could already change in one direction or the other because of this transfer, because there is constant fighting there, there is constant movement of small groups in one direction or the other, so let's

believe that everything will be fine good there guys they are holding the defense, well, you know the banal words, but they are showing heroism, but resilience, and let's believe in our armed forces and morally. thank you, if there is another opportunity to help them or do something else, at least morally, on the air, support these people, because many people watch programs and it is very important for them to understand that in the rear behind them there are people who believe in them, who, you know, pray for them and know success and believe that everything was several. that is why this front, the information front, is also important, it affects moral stability and the morale of our armed forces, directly to equality, you see such lofty words, but they have their place. well, i agree with you, we also have our tv channel. are fighting in the area of ​​bakhmut, so you are contributing to our

meetings, join them. this is just direct help to the defenders in that direction. well, let's know what else we will look at, in fact, at this situation, which is near the coal mine and on zaporizhzhia direction, because er, well , it was already said in our review that there was such an imitation attempt, let's go now and try to figure out whether it was an attempt or an imitation, but even if we take, for example , today's er summary of the er general staff of ukraine , that's what we're talking about that the enemy is conducting offensive actions in the area of ​​bakhmutsky, lymansky, avdiivskyi, and novopavlivskyi, well, pavlivskyi - it's just, well, not far from the coal mine. that's how you walk, that is, after all, activation is taking place there, and there is some kind of attempt to show something. mr. ivan, how do you evaluate these actions? that is,

what is it? what is the enemy trying to achieve, how, and before that, the enemy usually tries to show that he knows how to fight, and every time a new chief comes, i remind you that now they have raised the degree of leadership , raised the status of leadership this so-called special military operation to the extent that it is managed by the entire chief of the general staff of the russian federation well, accordingly, he is trying to add his own zest to what his predecessors proposed, well, in particular there sorobiken, when he came, he intensified the missile attacks on our peaceful ukrainian cities and the destruction of the ukrainian infrastructure , including the energy infrastructure, uh, now there are certain successes in quotation marks, successes

, of course, if we are talking about military art, but what the russians accurately assess as successes, because they do not it's a pity for their compatriots , they are ready to put millions of them again just to support the existence of putin and, accordingly, even the tens of thousands put there for the advancement of tens of thousands of their fellow citizens are successes for them in order to advance 2-3 km to soledar, i will remind you of the ukrainian liberation operations, which liberated territories of thousands of square kilometers during just such large -scale military operations, i will remind you that soledar, for example, is a very impressive ukrainian town with an area of ​​14 m² of population only 10,000 e-e inhabitants, and here the russians raised this soledar to the flag, make

it a bit like stalingrad, from which they say e-e, the successes of the russian army will continue, realizing that they work not so much for military success as it can be evaluated entirely in the spirit of zhukovsky's strategy that we don't feel sorry for our soldiers, providing one after another this dispute of victories when each subsequent victory is given with even more blood and to call it a victory is quite difficult compared to the scales in which the ukrainian defense forces are working, liberating their territory. but at the same time, as long as russian society eats it, while the generals are ready to put millions again for some uh-uh lives for a high-rise for a small settlement , and of course ukrainians do not play this game ukrainians understand that the ruins of a settlement are not something for which we should put thousands and tens of thousands of our lives of our soldiers

. we perceive it as a fetish or as some kind of information e-e token to be what settlement there is or this or that high-rise, we constantly weigh our steps in view of how much we e-e use and use correctly based on the values ​​of military military art of this or that position and if you overlook whether obtaining this position will cost us more than what we will be able to gain as a result of the military consequences, then of course we will make decisions, including regarding the settlements i was, for example, on soledar or was previously decided on other settlements which our troops, for example, left, realizing that it was becoming ineffective for

protection, and in another place or in the same place as raisin, for example, does this apply to kupyansk, where fierce battles were fought, where russian the troops stood under those settlements for months, the ukrainians liberated them later during large-scale counter-offensive and offensive operations concerning our zaporozhye front and the southern front, the russians are already using the tradition that was proposed by the prime minister, and that is, you will spend. i really mean the word spend because you understand that these creatures are treated like people, not like people, and they are also russians, that is, to spend tens of thousands in order to get something small, but what can you say loudly in russian tv channels, that is, for today. i see that gerasimov is continuing this tradition and they are ready simply with all the scales of the russian armed forces. now they were concentrated on 40-50 km and now they have

decided to use up this, uh, quite a large resource on a wider area of ​​the front, as we can also see added here one hundred and fifteen hundred kilometers on which they are actively trying to carry out active offensive actions, putting thousands of their e-e soldiers and achieving very, very dubious results, but these dubious results in the eyes of all civilized the world and ultimately the military, they make results on russian tv on public on some of those that allow you to raise the fighting spirit of russian society there in order to drag into the army and another half a million, maybe a million potential potential fertilizer in the ukrainian land of mr. oleksiy, look there we they pointed out that there were attempts to attack in five different directions, and well, in principle, for about a month, it seems that the russians were pulling up some forces in that zaporizhia direction, and our experts thought that this was a strengthening of the defense

is there an attempt of some kind of offensive actions, now we see that there is such an attempt of offensive actions, and here it is interesting what could be the target of the russians in that place, well, that is, what they can try near the coal mine, what are you there for them, what is attractive, what is attractive if to say that there is this movement to gulyaipol, then there are others to orikhov, what could be so attractive there, what would they really be aiming at, well, this can still be considered as a development of battles, ah, let's increase the scale a little because, well, there was more it is known that in the summer about what they are planning and offensive actions precisely in january, at the end of january, in february , our leadership was constantly told that we were expecting serious hostilities, exactly. in this period, which is now starting, what did

they aim for? well, it was already known. they have simple plans, they want to go from the south through zaporizhzhia to the city of dnipro and from the north through kharkiv and poltava to also go to the city of dnipro . in this way, they want to try to surround a large group of us, which may be on the left on the banks of the dnipro river along its entire line at the end of the year, i think that they simply miss our defense in this way. look at how our means of defense work . such a blow from the north and from the south, well, of course they will be near the solidar near the bahmut, uh, they will continue to keep us in tension, most likely they think that they are pulling a certain number of our armed forces there so that we will resist there , well, in order to prepare this

this is an attack from the south. well, this is known from our leadership, our general staff knows very well about this, it is very well known about this, their strategic ideas, that is why all these actions, including in the south, it cannot be said that they are interested in any one thing . there is a place, well, the population of the point is as small as that of an oligarch. it’s true, it’s a small place. they are trying to probe our defense from the north and the common in order to do such and such. the head of the general staff is appointed to lead some grouping of troops, this happens only in the event that a full-scale war is going on, that is, inside their country, among the leadership, they have already admitted that this is a full-scale war. well, that's why they will spread the number of the people they will involve , most likely they can nationalize

enterprises that work for the military-industrial complex, because they do not have enough of their capacity to produce so many heavy equipment weapons how much do they need in order to ensure these conditions of the conscripted people according to their already regular breakdown and they are now running around the world eh physical what is already talk about the incas with potion about argentina that is they just well and together of course they are looking for weapons all over the world block e-e pc for artillery, well, of course they want to find at least some heavy equipment somewhere, because their industry today can produce no more than 900 units of heavy equipment per year, of which approximately 450 tanks, 450 batteries and bmp but in order to provide, again, according to their staffing schedule, these newly created motorized rifle regiments and industries of the russian federation must work for 20 years , that is, they are not able to fully provide for these newly mobilized, well, the same

tanks there are more than 10,000 to 15 and according to various estimates, but then the estimates from our friends, our intelligence can be put in order no more than three thousand others there are no longer subject to reconstruction, therefore they are looking for what for our defense and around the world weapons they are doing on a large scale still pauses in order to prepare for more powerful strikes there were predictions that they want to do it at the end of spring but there were also predictions that they want to do it in the month of february on the anniversary of a full- scale invasion in order to it should also be remembered that a few days ago, putin gave an order to seize, well, from their books, to liberate all of donetsk and luhansk regions by the first of march this year, so this is not a contradiction, most likely they are planning certain offensive actions right now in february on the anniversary of a full-scale invasion and more powerful already offensive actions when they are

fully ready for this at the end of spring at the beginning they have such strategic plans, well, our intelligence knows about this thanks to our partners other intelligence that is why we know it , if we know it, it gives us the opportunity to certain to prepare in such a way and can take steps to choose, well, in general. well, you know , we have uh, this war is such a certain war , so apparently a new full-scale otaka war with the use of uh, fronts of great forces there of the military when it is completely transparent because there is a lot of information and it is really very noticeable when it is known about the supply of some, that is, this timing is the time to be in time and hide your actions, at the same time it becomes even more difficult than it used to be in such large-scale hostilities. and from this point of view, what is known about you

in rammstein, let's now talk for 10 minutes about the supply of weapons, about our capabilities, about how they are supplied , and what new opportunities appear because it is clear here who will be the first to get weapons, who will be the first to prepare, the first will in fact start more combat operations. so you see - this is the whole situation. and here is the news that appeared literally as soon as the german government agreed to the transfer of leopard-2 tanks to ukraine and gave permission to other countries to supply them, we have already seen the announcements that were made before that, that several countries said that they are ready to provide their equipment there, you can even try to calculate how many tanks will be produced from that, and from this point of view, let's well, let's just think about why exactly leopard 2. why is it so important to you, why

are tanks so important? well, who's ready now, i guess, sir, let's start with you, mr. oleksiy. i'm sure that at least you're in touch, why exactly leopard 2? - first of all, there are two leopards, uh, of course i'm wrong, all the modifications, uh, that is, even more. that is, there are two a4 leopard-2 a5s near the desk, and there are many modifications, most likely we will be supplied with the leopard a4, because it is these tanks that are in service er, nato wax in europe well, 13 countries have all the tanks in service that were nominated for e-e in europe, in general, this number of tanks can be estimated at approximately one and a half thousand units according to various estimates, because we can be supplied, we must be supplied with at least 300 tanks, but this is only for the beginning, because we need to continue to be these tanks,

to maintain them, they can be damaged in battle, and therefore we need more. well, at least as much in order to be a reserve that we can, er, these tanks, then change which ones will be destroyed, it is very good that germany decided to give us er, well over their tanks to give us and give permission because there is such a rule in trade or even the transfer of weapons that if one country transferred to another country some kind of weapons for which it has a license, then all of ukraine in which they transferred to transfer to a third country well, then transfer she has pavlo the weather is a question with those who has this license, that is, in this case, all the countries that have these tanks in service should enter it from germany, although poland has already been told that if i think that there will be no delay, then they will not wait for this provision, but thank god it is an achievement eh, these leopard tanks are not much better in the

grand scheme of things, 7 american abrams tanks, most of all, there are conversations about the percentages of abrus, eh, m1, there are also many modifications of these tanks, eh, eh, the only drawback from my point of view is abrams tanks, eh relation to the leopard tanks that they consume much more fuel. well , there are more powerful engines, the engine therefore consumes, well, it is difficult to even imagine it, about 8 off-road, about 8 liters of fuel per 1 km. that is, it is a lot for the party, it consumes less, it would have been better for us would there is a conviction with us to use leopard tanks because they showed themselves very well during the persian war desert storm when they fought precisely against er soviet russian tanks er all in iraqi gardens and then more than a thousand battles were destroyed by battle tanks there were significantly more than a

thousand of those who were armed in hussein's gardens, and the losses of africa were only 9 units more, more enemy tanks and filters were destroyed, not only nine of their own, of which two friendly fires simply did not not everyone knows that leopard tanks and abrams tanks are very similar tanks, because they started in the middle of the last century, there was a program to build a tank for the nato armed forces. there was a joint program between germany and the united states, they tried to develop one there, and then they went in different branches and appeared leopard e-e tanks in germany and abrams tanks in the united states , once again, by and large, these are very similar tanks, they have a lot in common, because they started with the same basic model, when there is a course, the united states and germany earned

that's why we have more well, why today it's better for us to get a leopard because there is only one abrams repair station in poland, which is also currently purchasing. does it receive, if i'm not mistaken, 116 of these abrams, and here is a service station, well, relatively speaking repair base for leopards, they are all over europe, including in those countries that, of course, have these tanks in service. therefore, it would be easier for us to repair and maintain them. this is the only thing. it seems to me that today the leopard tanks have an advantage over tanks abrams because the performance is better and their speed is higher well, sinoptik's only drawback is that they use a lot of fuel, even though they are leopards. they are also not there, uh, 5 liters per 100 km, how is the car, people all want it to have a small consumption somewhere if i'm not mistaken on the off- road, something like 4.5 liters is also calculated for 1 km there, it is calculated for one per 100 km. that is, it is

also quite high fuel consumption, well, in general, there, uh, now germany is talking about its tanks, the transfer of only 14 units, it seems that the same number is announced there is still poland the amounts from various other countries are about the same, that is, if you count everything together, it seems to me that it comes out to a little more than fifty. at this point, we are also talking about the americans, who seem to have to announce today that they will really give the amount some small abrams , that is, uh, the fact is that there is really a small, not very large number of leopards in europe, but they are not stored, only the outlines are several thousand ago, uh, to our friends from the united states, if they make this decision and supply us uh, these they have tanks there is no problem with the number, there are a lot of them. by the way, how much is needed? again, something about this storm in the desert. well, it’s not like

they just still understood when it attacked, they freed the ditch from the aggression of the gardens of acoustic cancer. they used only abryms in 1848 do you understand the number of tanks that were now, which are now, which were then in iraq, now the russian federation is about the same as it was in russia, but somehow they count us in tens or units, and there only abrams, not counting other weapons were used 1848 2630 it's somehow not serious, it's not enough, to put it mildly, it doesn't solve the problems, er, zulzhnyi said about 300 tanks needed. and actually, when they talked , er, on this last rammstein, there was talk of about a thousand units of armored vehicles in general, well, it's there bmp bt there other and actually, mr. ivan, that’s why you focused on the tanks. you have a couple of minutes to

explain more clearly. and why, if there are bmps, armored personnel carriers and guns, why is it so important to have tanks? tanks are not some kind of unique weapon that can only work exclusively tanks vs of russian tanks against russian armored vehicles, here it is absolutely possible to agree with you and give a good signal somewhere to our citizens who are watching this unique war, a war on their territory . they have small-caliber guns, but they are capable of destroying any soviet t-64 and t-72 and t-80 tanks, which are massively in service with the russian forces. the beginning of 2023 seemed to be quite successful

for the force defense of ukraine. we hope that this is really only the beginning, we have only opened the door now for the supply of tanks to ukraine, and because of that i would not worry too much about the fact that now there are quite a few of them. world diplomacy is now finally unraveling this political knot that arose between the opposition and the ruling coalition in germany, and they finally found the formula according to which they said , yes, the leopard-2 tanks from these countries will to be supplied to ukraine, there are several thousands of them for use in europe alone, and we understand that the medicine can go to hundreds. and this will be and this will be. i hope it will be enough to carry out effective offensive attacks, operations to liberate ukrainian territories. well and as for the russian weapons, of course they are in order and up to date
