[000:00:00;00] the artillery is empty of shells on the outskirts, that is, in the directions of the southern and northern directions, the enemy really feels a huge hunger for shells and a huge head of manpower is already in the gates. that is, we can say that the enemy has m but maybe this is a certain tactical move, maybe it is it is connected with the complicated two with the motivation of the one whom they now chased, because these were chased , mobilized in a hurry, and the assemblies in the regular part, they are not even mercenaries who shoot in front of the ground enforcement of orders, well, that is, it is difficult to understand, but there are certain maybe they buried themselves very deep and diverted all the extreme extreme reserves to storm the route

in order to cut them off. we are destroying the enemy's forces and inflicting gnoboration, i repeat, the situation is very difficult in this p volodymyr well, according to your feelings , according to your observations, from your experience, this is this, has the offensive already begun, or has it, uh, s- it's still a week before it, how is it better letytimes wrote that the russians are buzzing to capture bakhmut by the forces of putin's cook company, spend the winter in it by the new year, and already there probably on the date x-e, bring out all those units that learned to march on the training grounds, and chose the statutes in which, e-e, they taught army drills and discipline because well, we have to understand that to gather a crowd of cheap meat that constantly gets drunk is not to create an army, they are for this to make some kind of disciplined structure out of them that obeys

the order to the death that they have been drilled for a long time and wanted this drilled army apply for sure the date x now we see the shame of the bunker grandfather who could not do anything with his private private expensive toy with shame they were forced to use personnel and you parts of the vanguard of this rampant counteroffensive also do not succeed and they are forced in the bakhmut direction to the east - for the donetsk people, let's clearly understand that this is crime - this is severts, this is the solidarity direction, this is bakhmut , this is the majorca direction, this is avdiyivka, this is vugledar , this is well, when is donetska, these are all the directions the vanguards are forced to use this spring counter-attack offensive already and they are not getting anything, what’s cool, now we are showing the footage , presumably, of the ss, about how a ukrainian tank

alone stops a large column of some russians who are storming without the support of even armored vehicles , it is likely that they are reporting that this is a track e40 and there are also holding back their attempts to storm with infantry uh, what is it, volodymyr , i'm just wondering. well, according to your feelings , can the russians eventually repeat the situation when observe observe bakhmut it would be inadvisable and that this is not the same story as in severodonetsk and it will not come to this, well, compared to how we held the defense in severodonetsk, first of all, we kept it in a frontal connection, that is, half of the city was under the enemy, half the city was under ukrainian forces and we were actively clearing the city, that is, it was advancing in the city, but behind us in north-donetsk north-north donetsk, and this made logistics very difficult . this is not the same story here, because here

you can come in any way the land of the field roads, well, there are many roads under ukrainian control in the literal sense of the word. that is, there are field roads, and i don’t have to add them to logistics. this is the first and second city itself, both the heart of the city and the surrounding area . a street is a fortress, it's not like in siversky severodnotsk, we had to come into a head-on collision with the enemy and drive the enemy out , so there is a certain, let's say yes, certain optimistic forecasts that the city should stand , no one will surrender it, and vice versa they are strengthening and defending and actively defending and the enemy is suffering huge losses every day, mr. volodymyr, you also talk about the weather conditions

while you are talking to us, you can hear how the wind breaks into our conversation , how unbearable they are in august. the cold, some kind of chemical heaters or some kind of blankets, sleeping bags, uh, guys who , every day, in the trenches, in the cold trenches , enemy assaults take place, one way or another , they adapted as much as possible, because i repeat myself quite often, the shells can withstand the artillery, well, that is, the guns do not withstand the equipment does not withstand , the equipment does not start, and the equipment freezes , the weapons freeze because, well, huge frosts, these complications are extremely difficult.

terrible frosts, slush with the fact that when it all melts when it is knee-deep in water in the trenches and the second battle is actually a battle, it is a battle with numerous assault positions, several a day i don't know how to support you, what words will be such that what they can at least warm up a little well, at least i think that many ukrainians are doing everything to somehow make it warmer there. in the trenches , i don't know if the ministry of defense also helps to make it warmer. in the trenches, everyone helps us, the warmth of the hearts of the ukrainian nation and the fire of struggle warms us with the idea of ​​ukraine, for the bright future

of ukraine . thank you. the deputy commander of the liberty battalion as part of the fourth operational brigade of the national guard of ukraine, which is located in donetsk region, there are terrible battles in the bahmut until kolobok bahmut, but as you can see, the guys are still holding on, not giving up and fighting back from the enemy's urine, despite the fact that the conditions of the battle, the weather is absolutely, hmm, absolutely not sides, but not on the side of the russians, of course, because they are russians , of course they are ready to make greater sacrifices , they make greater sacrifices well , of course, this is very difficult

, the easiest part is the work of those who are currently in bakhmut this is actually everyone who in one way or another is involved in this defense of bakhmut. i think that they will be honored at the end of this war . i think that it is just a phrase that i defended bakhmut , it will have a lot of weight in ukraine after this war, we understand it all very well because it is it is worth a lot and it is there that it is probably being hardened right now, including some elite of the future country of the post-war country or between the war countries, let's understand that russia will remain our enemy well, but we will have to change quickly

to modernize quickly to westernize in order to become a part of the western world in order to secure ourselves from the future in the next russian interventions on the front of the establishment of the general staff for today. for your attention, because the word is 350 days of russian russian 16 a little bit of a problem, nothing to do with it, nothing to worry about, we can see later, but in the meantime, we will announce that serhiy zgurets, military experts , director of the defect express company, should appear soon in our stage. we will also talk a little about the situation at the front , and not only uh, they tell us what can be done already

, our gunners and rocket launchers hit two enemy control points in all areas of concentration of manpower and ammunition warehouse believe in the armed forces together we will win glory to ukraine and good morning to our next guest serhiy zgurets military expert director of defense express company appears on your screens mr. serhiy we welcome you. i congratulate you. good morning, mr. sergiyvna. first of all, let's start with the visit of the german minister to kyiv, and he announced in particular that germany was in ukraine. well, he didn't announce it. the information that germany is ready to hand over the leopards to us is also good. -e leopards 1 and in large numbers it is about an actual whole tank brigade of almost 200 tanks , but it is not known exactly in terms of eh, mr. serhii

, well, first of all i wanted to ask. the fact that a a1 is a very leopard 1 it is quite an old tank, it is from the 60s, its design will lose to the t-72 outfit and it will cause more problems than benefits well, the other opinion is that i also paid attention to it, that it was me i understand the latest modification of this tank, which went down to the 80s, and it is quite such a capable tank. besides, it is, on the contrary, in some ways better than the t-72, the main russian tank. so, in fact, how serious is this help? tank, well, in any case when we talk about the readiness to supply us with tanks in significant quantities, we understand that it is extremely difficult to find an extremely positive solution because, uh, now we have to prepare

our new brigades to conduct counterattack operations, form reserves, and we must have confidence that even those tanks which ones are there today, which ones are we drawing , which ones can be lost, and which ones need to be repaired. they have a second standard, that is, these western tanks, which we will receive in the form of foreign aid, and here it is really important that to have a significant number of tanks, where actually the lion's share of our future supplies are actually leopard tanks, we were really focused on the fact that there would be two leopard-2 6 tanks, and all of them are of a more modern version, which are actually intended for sacentric warfare, have the most modern guns, the most modern enemy detection systems on battlefield, but we understand that we will also have such tanks , in particular, in which we recall the power of germany, she claimed 14 etanks to two a6. these are absolutely cool tanks, but we understand that

tanks should be a mass model of weapons and in fact, even leopards in the first version they have their advantages on the range because , first of all, on the one hand, the number is what is said there. well , according to different indicators, up to 200 tanks can be transferred there in different periods of time. quickly, the enterprises of the german industry will provide repair and modernization of these tanks and then the actual transfer of up to 200 combat vehicles , so first i will say modernization is the main thing if they provide these tanks with thermal imagers which will allow the center to fight at night, i think that this will actually be provided in the format of these e-e supplies and only that the ammunition is also conditioned by this supply and the statement of the minister of defense

of germany, then actually this is a good enough powerful force and for each tank with certain limitations if we we say that the first leopard is worse than the second leopard. in fact , there will be work on the battlefield for the first attack, so it will be necessary to dismantle the enemy’s fortifications and destroy the enemy’s armored fighting vehicles, and for of more modern models, there will be work on the vistra of a tank attack when it will be necessary to break through the line of defense and understand what the enemy has there, what means of countermeasures , so in any case, the main thing here is that the number and indicators of the promised tanks have increased significantly, there is an understanding of the fact that that we will have stockpiles of ammunition for tanks, because the video showed various types of ammunition, because even

on 000 ammunition for tanks of the soviet standard, that is, now we have a certain problem with ammunition for tanks of soviet calibers, and this means that , just like with artillery, we are entering a format when tanks plus foreign ammunition actually form our region, a symbiosis is necessary if to speak briefly, first of all, the quantitative indicators are increasing. what tanks we have promise very well. one leopard tank has been modernized to a certain level, which allows it to fight with russian t-72 tanks. federation in a mass form, which operative is there and i do not think that the advantage there is 72 will be critical, or even on the contrary, thirdly , modern leopard tanks version 2.6 will be found, which will really solve the most critical tasks with the maximum advantage of all these

modern models on the battlefield well, i also read that, for example, they are not bad with good modern ammunition , this t-72 tank easily penetrates the fight from a distance of at least 800 m . i don’t know if this is enough. that 800 m because in fact the tasks on the battlefield are so wide that actually these models will find a responsible section of the front where the specific advantages of the contest of a specific model will be quite noticeable, we have to understand that when we say that now we have somewhere around a thousand tanks despite all the losses despite all compensation at the expense of the russian allen-visa there, the supply of e-e tanks of soviet production to all natives, we have to significantly increase the armored mass, and because it is necessary, we are talking about the offensive, the tank is an element of the offensive and for everyone and this is all the same it is better than attacking the bmp, or whether the first front line will advance tanks that will dismantle the fortified structures

of the enemy, destroy the enemy's objects that are threatening there, there were already infantry vehicles actually this is normal, so i think that the positive is that the promise of the tank is being scaled the question is that the first deliveries were as soon as possible. now we understand that it is somewhere in march, if we rely on the general indicators, that is, but it is also important the pace of training of our crews and, most importantly, the repair base because, so to speak, the tanks must be in good working order at a constant time, this means that the repair batch of the first and second will be carried out more easily because poland is nearby and germany is some way away, this is precisely the fact that the main fist will consist of leopards, which is precisely the most rational logistical support because this is an equally important component of the incapacity of all units in general, the only thing i will ask about these leopard tanks, well, after all, it is very important. i think a huge batch, well, the largest

tank all this time that has been announced 178 78 tanks plus 14 parks 2.6 separate supply, we also mention the promised supply from poland when we also talk about the leopards , this is also an initiative given by the netherlands and germany. the supply of tanks from germany but in any case , we say that the figures there are at least 200 tanks plus in the leopard format of different versions, this will be quite a lot, and i think that this is really, well, quite normal will be selected for transformation into our armored unit, to be very specific about these leopards, er, one a5. i understand that there is experience in principle of their collision, for example, with russian soviet equipment in the operations

conducted in turkey, but it is also in service in turkey. as far as i know that they part of these tanks was recognized on the battlefield without providing real support from the infantry and other means under the crimea, they lost part of these first lopards, which was proper to the postal service, on the one hand, before increasing the requirements for the tactics of using these tanks the implementation of measures to strengthen the dynamic protection of these tanks and when we talk about modernization, in addition to the thermal protection of the reservation , there will also be such things that germany will implement to me before the transfer of these tanks to ukraine . they thank sergey, and what about the russians?

that they have a shortage. well, when we talk about a shortage of shells , here we have such a uh fork of estimates, because when british intelligence says that we have less supplies in the russian army, this in the global dimension, this is correct, but when we talk about the situation, in particular, around bakhmut , we talk to our soldiers, they say that in fact the concentration of artillery is quite large, they have not felt that shortage since 2014, the russians have restrictions on ammunition, but the positive thing is that when i talk to the artillerymen i know there, they say that in fact we also have parity in terms of the use of artillerymen in this part of the front, but we are talking about narrow areas the front, where significant forces on both sides are really concentrated, including artillery globally, the head of development spoke about the fact that

sometime in march, the consumption of ammunition by the russians and the limited production capabilities of the parish led to the fact that they would be able to use there no more than, in particular, 10,000 ammunition per a day from an indicator that was 60 , then everything turned to 20, and gur predicts that from march it will be up to 10,000. but this is also a general indicator, if it concentrates , everything is evenly pulled into one section of the front of course, these indicators can be much higher in relation to these long-range projectiles that can be launched from installations , for example, the gamer with e, which the americans promised us , the russians claim that it’s okay. that we dreamed of when we talked about the attack. is this really what we should expect from when these weapons come to us? well, here i hope that

the potential of these types of weapons is really powerful and not a test. demonstration of the variation that at a distance of 150 km seven planning bombs with a warhead weight of 90 kg they hit targets that can be there and under bridges and behind protected concrete structures there along with a wall thickness of more than 1 m they are really effective and by the way they can be used not only lowering farmers, because the test was demonstrated to fold and there are samples where they are used from such where there is a package of guides and it can be located on any suitable car base that can carry this e-e weight so not only the launch farm restricts the use of these weapons systems, but the question lies in the pace

of production of these high-precision munitions and the pace of their arrival in ukraine, as i understand it now . in fact, this package provides that the companies there and the soldier can start manufacturing these samples. and actually, there are a lot of components for these samples because, in particular, these are projectiles, what is the engine, it is used from the remnants of such charges they have a warhead - it is actually an aviation bomb to which a set is added wings that provide planning and adjustment in flight, all the components are there, and now the question actually arises to speed up the unification of these components , but here the foreign press writes about what it says is there by the end of the year, because the first samples of combat fill the continuation of the nine in the next few months, up to 30 samples will be produced, and then

, relatively speaking, up to 700 or 800 will be produced over the next year, but i think that these are only the first preliminary images of the number of these indicators. i think that the company will speed up its own production of these samples, more precisely, the integration of existing components to speed up the appearance of such ammunition is not a shorter term, because , relatively speaking, we already use thousands of this type of ammunition for farmers, and we understand that the indicators of the whole on the battlefield will be scaled by operational criminals. so far, the capacities of this manufacturer are foreseen, so thank you for the clarification serhii zgurets, military expert, director of the defense express company, was with us, saying that

dmitry rogozin is now the chairman of the advisers putin's military, who are called the tsar's wolves. that's what they called themselves . the same one recently felt the advantages of long-range western weapons above his spine or a little lower. 150 km to change the front i hope in the direction of russia, let's go there already from bryansk region go already from the white, as it is called, belegorod region , you don't belong there. you are all asians, and when people themselves , on their own experience, if they were convinced , then it somehow reaches them and sometimes it happens that it also reaches through one place where heads well, but everyone already has his own way of rationalization can rorogozin in this way and more reasonable well, friends, this is the end of our second hour of the marathon, but the marathon does not end and continues and continues for the 350th day
