. 30 on espresso every week, the saturday political club helps to understand the processes taking place in ukraine and the world vitaliy portnikov, host of espresso and invited experts based on facts give their assessment and forecast of the development of events, you want to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow see the saturday political club that saturdays espresso i welcome you to the espresso channel today in the release of our military program we will talk about western tanks that ukraine should get we were finally promised german leopards of various versions and american abrams and british challengers but to western tanks have really become a turning point in the field. we have to do a tremendous job in a short period of time. it is not only about the training

of the crews, but also about the transition to a new concept the use of tanks from logistics to repair and actually to new tactics on the battlefield, what secrets and problems exist here and whether they can be quickly overcome, we will talk about this with our experts who have been engaged in the use and development of armored vehicles for a long time , relying on their professional military and combat my experience now serhii zhorits i am the director of the defense express company, which, together with the espresso channel, strives to highlight the most relevant events from the life of our army and the defense-industrial complex a now we are joined by mykola salamakha, an expert in armored vehicles, retired lieutenant colonel, project manager at the defense industry company energy 2000, mr. mykola, i congratulate you. good day. after long discussions, this red

anti-tank line that existed in the supply of tanks to ukraine has actually been overcome, and we are promised a number of western tanks of various manufacturers, in view of your experience and, in fact , the practical relevance of some of these samples, i would like to start a conversation with such a general question, which of these western tanks do you have the greatest sympathy and which is best suited to the theater of our military operations and which can be most deeply mastered by the ukrainian military. these are two components of this question.

which of the options of m1a2 abrams or in the version sab 2 or in the version sap 3 so uh, there is a more advanced component where do we include logistics where do we include preparation so and here i still lean towards leopards leopard 2 in versions uh leopard 2a4 or versions leopard 2 a5 although and the leopard 2a6 - it will also be very cool, but about the tanks of the western tank school and about the tanks of the soviet school. they are actually excellent. as i understand it, it affected the features and designs and not the tactics of use. if we are talking about the design of tanks, can we say that it is really western there e-e tank school had features that really translated into a different solution compared to soviet models. it had its own features tanks of the western school. they were primarily

designed for combat and confrontation it was a soviet tank, that is, it was one of the most serious anti-tank weapons on the battlefield according to the western european matov doctrine. so , actually, the tanks of the western world were supposed to meet this soviet tank armada and stop its advance. and after that, the western world had to go into a counteroffensive. and actually, it could end very sadly for the soviet tank armada. we are talking about the fact that the concept of western tanks was that a tank is the main anti-tank tool in the hands commanders, and at that time the main requirements for the construction of tanks were to guarantee the destruction of the soviet tank

armada, which she says was supposed to advance to break through with such lightning-fast tank columns. does this mean that actually one western tank in terms of its capabilities, it can be equal to three or five soviet tanks, as some write , is it even possible to compare these western and soviet tanks, now partly russian , in this way, so there is a classic ratio of offensive defense, in order to achieve success in for defense, it is enough to have one machine against three machines advancing against you. actually, if you take into account the fact that the logical superiority of the western world compared to the soviet tank school still had a very serious advantage, they did not have it at the time

, when it was all a rifled 105 mm l7 gun was formed, and after that a smooth-bore german 120 mm rein metal gun and those advanced ammunition that the western world developed specifically for the destruction of soviet tanks on the battlefield, including the very latest ones versions now i will tell our viewers that now there is an airborne alert repulse all over ukraine and we will literally continue our program in a few minutes, we will now return to our stationary studio to more vividly demonstrate the possibilities of the visual part of our program and literally in a few minutes we will continue our program the largest children's the okhmatdyt hospital of ukraine did not stop work for a moment after the full-scale invasion, they made a decision to come to

the relevant order to move the entire department to this new building and do so that the operation was carried out on the basement floor, because this building is made of reinforced concrete, unlike the old buildings, which are paneled , was this new building in 2011, but it was possible to start work at 100% already during the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine during the war, we were able to start the new building, equip it with the most modern equipment, nero came here, a monitoring system, navigation, operating tables came here, and we did everything possible and impossible to make this institution the best, because of

the corruption scheme even during the time of the presidency viktor yanukovych's hospital was built against the background of corruption scandals, court disputes and arrests , and only at the end of 2022 the higher anti-corruption court announced a verdict in one of the cases of abuse at the okhmatdyt construction site, the former head of the state enterprise ukrmed projectbud iryna koval was sentenced to 5 years, and the former director of ukrprofmet llc ihor kuchma was sentenced to four years in prison another suspect in embezzlement maksym naumov is wanted the company paid and ordered construction works of various kinds, including in okhmatdyt, and in this case it was specifically about equipment . also, there were pro-lifts that were ordered, for which 100% of the necessary payment was paid in advance, about that equipment was not delivered to mrs. koval in collusion with her

co-conspirators with the head of the enterprise who er, had to implement this pseudo-supply, were in a conspiracy, tried to take measures to er , conceal that allegedly this equipment was kept there somewhere only according to this criminal scheme, 30 million losses were caused to the state hryvnia higher anti-corruption court decided to collect this amount from the suspects for the benefit of kermed project building headed by koval utim, a member of the board of trustees of okhmatdyt, people's deputy maria ionova notes that this is only the amount that we managed to confirm documented according to our calculations at that time already after the revolution of dignity that we they did an analysis of abuses, it was more than 135 million and even managed to return through the courts there, if i am not mistaken, 62 million and, unfortunately, they also

fought for 79 million, almost 80 million visited and the prosecutor's office and the security service of ukraine and managed to move this case, so to speak, only when there were already anti-corruption bodies , public activists emphasize that the investigation of the case regarding okhmatdyt developed in parallel with the anti-corruption bodies in ukraine before the creation of the national anti-corruption bureau , before the start of their work, no one systematically dealt with this issue at all and there were many cases in which investigations were started, but they never even got to the courts in our country, that is, people who received large bribes for the organization of such arrangements were then paid a part of these funds to the law enforcement officers and everything was closed after the anti-corruption bodies began to work , another problem arose, the cases were stuck in the ukrainian courts, at first the nabu and the prosecutor's office were formed, which began

to direct cases. it's just that the cases are afraid to take responsibility, and then a big campaign started , an anti-corruption court was created above, and actually only in 2019, all these cases just started to be referred to the anti-corruption court, which was launched and began to consider them, the parties involved in the case tried in every way to delay the court process, in particular, under the articles on official forgery, they were also found guilty , but released from responsibility due to the expiration of the statute of limitations under other articles, the decision can be appealed if the case drags on in the appeal vax chamber , the statute of limitations will also expire on other articles , so now it is important to prevent the release from punishment of officials suspected of embezzlement for the treatment of children with cancer

although they came under investigation far from everyone involved in the embezzlement in this hospital now talk about the moral point of view to say so not that what, for us, for you and me, it’s uh, well, there’s no need to explain anything about the meaning of helping especially children with cancer yes, and such serious diseases that are treated precisely in the grasp, well, it is not clear to you and me. yes, how is it possible to abuse and make money from this ? today, the completed building of the hospital demonstrates to a certain extent the anti-corruption development of ukraine, you and i understand the sphere in which er, extremely large amounts of money were circulating and , unfortunately , she made money from this for many years. i am not talking only about the equipment . regarding the electronic, well, electronic a-a reports in the electronic system, the current

management of the hospital emphasizes that in 10 years , very tangible things have changed, a lot has really changed, starting from communication with the ministry of health and ending supplies of everything and consumables and equipment, and this is, as you know, an example of how it works, you can see this building. she lives next to the children, there is a christmas tree, it really lives already as a full-fledged hospital, so there is still a lot of work to be done, the old buildings of the hospital need updating , which in a few weeks will be noted 129 years from the day of its foundation, it is being cosmetically done, currently, during the war, repairs are being made, people are moving, more worthy of staying in the ward, children of more worthy conditions , the equipment is updated, additional

devices appear, but i would like to and it will probably happen it will be possible to completely update the hospital after the war, i am sure that it will continue to work, well, if the entire complex of the okhmatdyt national children's hospital , well, it will be such a business card, well, let's say success and recovery, a modern hospital in which doctors save lives, patients receive services in decent conditions is a symbol of the recovery not only of ukrainian children but also of the ukrainian system in general, although this process is still ongoing and should continue under the control of civil society even in the conditions of the russian-ukrainian war, i am iryna koval mother, wife, lead, we continue our broadcast, we conduct our military program

, which today is related to the assessment of the prospects for the use of western tanks in our battle formations , what should we change, what experience should we take into account ? retired and representative of our defense company energo 2000 parenko , but continuing our conversation, i would still like to detail another direction , which usually concerns the use of western tanks in the west, another structure tank units of tank thieves, they have a company, in particular, we are talking about the fact that a company is 14 tanks, and we have 10, and over time , we simply ignore these indicators, and they are probably important, so does this mean that we should adopt nato standards, and why is this important please explain to our viewers that this means historically that unfortunately

in the mechanized and motorized infantry units we have a muftanka company of 10 units, although still in the soviet army it is precisely in the motorized rifle troops motorized rifle regiments of tanks battalions, well, there were four tanks each, so what does this have to do with, uh, it means that the tanks in the west work in pairs, that is, one moves around the battlefield at this time , the other one covers him, uh, he took a favorable firing position after that, uh, when he begins to cover that one who was covering begins to move to another position, so, we encountered this during the ur red strong challenge competition, and in principle, our tankers, as they participated, felt it physically. so, i
