[000:00:00;00] the issue of artillery in ukraine, no, well, that is, such things that er, well, in fact, it was said that there are not enough of them in the defense of bakhmut and in other points that are currently hot, and meanwhile , i already said that er, there is a message that after all artillery was brought to bahmut, how does this situation look now, or at all how effective will it be and can it improve the situation in bahmut, the bringing of artillery there and, well, the provision of some kind of additional help, well, artillery, we already knew that this is artillery, they are the gods of war, so we really hope only for artillery support. because we as infantrymen from artillery are worth nothing because

we are already quite limited in our movement due to a barrage of fire, even mortars, and so on. history will show the direction, but the boys have skillfully mastered the polish crabs and three sevens and other artillery, especially mortars, before the war we still didn’t know what the 60th mortars were, which one soldier could do in a small calculation with mortars to drag along with us, now we have all this and we continue to fight, artillery is never superfluous, we welcome it very much and as long as it is not handed over to us, we will have tortillery , but there is not enough ammunition for it, because we not only work skillfully and work very hard because, as already noted above, the enemy is now in huge forces rolling in manpower, either chmobikov, the goods of the nerivians, or some kind of special forces, or simply pouring unprepared personnel into our positions under fire

from all sides on our positions, which are under the kurdyumivka of the lake and on in the north, all the way to er, yagidnogo and other villages, there are huge waves of infantry everywhere. and the infantry can be stopped with mortar fire so that it does not go there at all, accordingly, the artillery, therefore , for ourselves, we rely on artillery, if it is transferred, then let it be given more in the bakhmus direction, really we e our units and in general we find ourselves in such situations and the front line and severodonetsk and e.e. from zaitsev under the throat that we restrain the enemy . what does this give? well, we exhaust the really main and most productive forces of the enemy and allow them to concentrate, concentrate, accumulate forces in other directions, as we have already seen in the past, it is an undisputed success in the kharkiv and kherson directions , so we are expecting new arrivals of artillery and

we are expecting our victory through our offensive actions ivan well, actually ramstein should be and where is it well of course everyone is waiting for something to happen there about planes, about something like that, but will there actually be something more banal about it, the same mortars, the same artillery, and in general, what can this rammstein be about, you know, i'm afraid that i won't say anything original here because, well, even if our head of defense managed to release some sensational song there, we are expecting a yellow-blue subarina there and that it will be a ship's rammstein in general, although, of course, in the cold in modern war, unfortunately, we need resources, but right away, someone from the pentagon i will say right away that in fact the main topic of rammstein will obviously take the most time when communicating , it is ammunition. well, because it is what it is if you take well, let's say the available data from its

open sources, who is the question of how to get ammunition of different nomenclatures well they will solve this in very different, politically interesting ways for me and you. well, perhaps the most important thing is, let's say this to you. i think that such an example will definitely be felt , despite the fact that it seems that somewhere in the balkans there were , if the situation has already reached such a point that the same dude wagner decided to get someone from a fraternal serbia where it would seem like brothers and the like but nevertheless , some fascist parties seem to be financed there from prigozhyn's treasury. even serbia has already matured to the point that it gradually some rockets for the e-e hail system with a firing range of 40 km are being sold by russia on an unrelenting basis, well, it is quite possible that what will happen next , let's say for e-e suitcases with cash from american couriers, the serbs will sell something there through third countries in a more interesting way. well, for example, the order of the caliber 152 mm is the fact that there are also sometimes such interesting

people surfaced from where we can have shells of iranian production . well, there is still an interception of a convoy in the middle east and it is too early that they sail on a german hoset. well, it turns out that all this ammunition is first somewhere there and sits on in the warehouses of the western allies and then they cross over to us. in principle, the state of countries that are ready to either invest in supplying us with shells or directly produce them . well, as an illustration, a small allegory of luxemburg , which was allocated there by certain personnel, allocated money, and also even such a small country that is hardly there you will immediately find money on the map, they are trying to shoot and deliver, well, purely because, considering how technologically complex the process of projectile production is, in principle, here to on the american at the american defense plants let's say this whole process of casting a billet for a hull row until the whole projectile is ready with it can be sent to ukraine takes several weeks. it's just quite archaic there. let's put it this way. the production technology

for equipment. what i still remember is the second world war. therefore, it is obvious that rammstein will discuss, including all possible ways to get as many shells as possible of different nomenclature for the armed forces of ukraine, in the end it is still possible here, even if we are talking about artillery, what is needed more tables to ask another question and so, at the beginning of january of this year, the american analytical institutions began to gradually warm up the topic that, after all, along with the three glorified seven monkeys, we need to remove, well, for the armed forces, we need to remove from storage warehouses the old m198 howitzers, which also have a caliber of 155 mm, the situation there is peculiar , almost the entire arsenal was distributed to american allies in warehouses, in the best case, there are 300 howitzers of this type, of which, in the best case, at least 100 combat-capable ones can be collected in six months. well, according to american experts they emphasized that it is better

to restore the whole process and then start it now before it is too late. unfortunately, this topic will not be raised until it is raised . at least at the official level , it would be worth raising it, because you know, if you continue to illustrate it, let’s put it this way, the question is how much artillery we don’t have, but even if you leave out the fact that we are just trying to create a certain parity for the russians there in terms of the number of artillery barrels and in correction for the fact that the russians are fighting there according to the standards of the soviet army well, it turns out that in our country, let's say, based on such oriented calculations, as western analysts believe, there is now much less artillery on 1300 km of the front than on the same area let's say this of the conditional front in nato in 1988, there is a climate twice, roughly speaking, if you take such an old nato, which russia

is still afraid of rammstein and, most likely, the involvement of the countries of the far east. moreover, even there, sometimes the russians talk about getting it. well , as for the ship, the ship format , which was talked about by various body sides, does not look like a reportage from the other side , considering the fact that the russians are now trying to let's say we break the grain agreement. it is quite possible that , unfortunately, after some time we will have to invest some resources too. and such a clarification is a bit literal, you know. well, there were such discussions. to name i hope you will name these numbers ivan eh when it seems if i am not mistaken baroz called some such show but it is about the supply of projectiles there in ukraine in some such volume and it should be enough there for 5

months of war and hmm according to ukrainian calculations this is supposed to be enough for only two months . it would seem that it sounds several times more than, in principle, the production capacity of the west. well, it is as if the military and political leadership comes out with the minimum minimum need for shells in order to, you know, well, more or less , now ensure the proper density of fire at the front, if our brothers, unfortunately, they still do not left the paradigm of the war they professed there even before february until 2022 , that is, that it is such a short-term conflict in order to impose a certain political point of view there that uh, the conflict with the use of the maximum number of high-precision artillery weapons, if it is used there, it is limited there for the so-called isolation and anti-combat actions. well, you know

, here even purely on such a stylistic level, when the americans continue to write about the problem of what we need, well , that is, ukraine needs as much as possible more shells they are still burning because of what they say is the method from our side we declare the need for at least 10,000 rounds per day and for them it was considered a nightmare literally a nightmare to shoot five and a half thousand rounds for a month of fighting for the iraqi city of barsera in 2004, can you imagine how much dissonance they have there that they are 5,000 old people who are happy they shot for a month of fighting and it was considered horror horror terrible i'm sorry that it was so simple she had it and they are it's cool that's how they write and it turns out a we ask for a minimum of 10,000 shells, and then our dear western partners put us in a state of cognitive dissonance. it seems the concrete meter is literally a shirt, not only that they are literally ready to provide everything, but the money is not given, but the nuance is that well

, for example, to produce 5,000 guided volcano shells, which showed themselves well during the battles, uh, there well, because there are in the elderly, i know that parties, roughly speaking, it will take somewhere like two years five years to deploy 200 million euros this is only for 5,000 managed outfits that is, there will still be too large infusions into the eh let's say to deploy the production of the necessary capacities accordingly even if there, the eu countries are really ready to put a billion euros in cash. it is quite possible that the expected result in terms of industry will be significantly less than expected, well, purely because if at the beginning of january the americans asked the question so that european industry could provide for our needs, it is literally necessary to win all the nitrogen nitrate in europe and just on the eve of the spring sowing work , what other resources are needed there, it is even difficult to imagine, or rather

terrible they are needed not only to hold the border, because it is impossible to win a war simply by defense, and the number they are talking about, well, it is. yaroslav, look at one more element of this general defense and not only defense. for almost the whole of the 22nd year, the ukrainian forces had a significant advantage in the issue of the use of drones, small drones, and all these reconnaissance types. various such ways but as far as i know now the situation has changed again and this is especially noticeable also in the same bakhmut direction, that is, the russians in principle have learned to use they already have drones, they have learned to use them quite effectively. as far as i

know, they are overcoming the work of our of drones, how noticeable was it to you on the spot? tell us a little about this problem, what exactly is happening, well, you correctly noted that in 6 months, and that in eight months, not only did we learn to work with let's say small aviation with drones, wings and so on, but also the enemy, because even in the front line, when we felt that we were starting to turn our eyes to see where the enemy was coming from, and so on. it was more like that , you know, a little help, an amateur service that really saved our lives and allowed at least somehow to be operational and er guess decorative will do the next one at least have 30 minutes 20 minutes 10 minutes before their bmp or tanchyk goes to the combat position

transmit adjust have coordinates er the location of ammunition of the personnel and so on during these 8 months, we really mastered, well, not that perfectly, but really professionally, all of us have mastered the means of conducting such intelligence and seeing the enemy, because at the moment, well, in our units , i will not disclose the details, but at a very high level these are also huge monitors when information is transmitted online directly from drones, and this is not just one drone that hangs, it is several drones, these are wings that we already have, uh, i can say that without owing to the fact that something passed through the polish lease or something was written out there or something happened there because we are literally collecting funds and buying wings from alternative whistleblowers , manufacturers who have not passed the state examination

and so on. it is very difficult, but everything is set on the fact that we won, everything is set on the maximum number of guys surviving and we were as effective as possible on the battlefield, but as of today, i will tell you , especially we realized that not only we use mavics, this unprofessional amateur equipment, but also the enemy of it uses and we have already on radio intercepts on the special ones for which we were imprisoned have already seen what they could lift at the same time and what models of mavics to follow us and they have already mastered dropping bombs and gas grenades and everything in the world, so i can’t say what are the problems at the moment, uh, the enemy is opposing us, they have gotten used to it a little, as they have fish and relays and everything else, we are losing uh, our air

equipment is not as fast as before, but in large numbers, so we constantly need at least with such means i will find out the coordinates of the enemy for effective combat with infantry and so on and so on. therefore, everything is progressing. they are also learning, they are not pithecanthropes, unfortunately, i would like to pop them like seeds, but now it has become a little more difficult, but until they learned to manage them and we became professionals in them, that is, between the houses and us, these 6 months were as they were and remain. i believe that we are today as we are highly motivated as we are really intellectually more developed as we do not abuse and at all we drink alcohol in this regard, there are still no equals on the field, and we are beating them here as before , well, that’s nice to hear. i just know about such a thing

that they, well, the russians somehow were very impressed with this nettle system of ours and also began to use some such a system, another adjustment, that is, they already well, this is literally what they learned in the course of hostilities, that is, they learned in the system of fire coordination, and it seems that it is also already noticeable , is it so? yes , it is so. coordinated e-e data which they are immediately transferred to the artillery, then apparently they captured several tablets that contained nettles, although there were codes, i understand. well, maybe there is someone there, it was opened and understood . i think they redrew it, they copy very quickly , they cannot say anything, they learn quickly, but they very quickly copy everything they find on the battlefield and if it is effective, if it helps them hit our targets, then i think they already have this system, and in general, in military operations

, one must count on the fact that the enemy is strong , the enemy is prepared, and if you to count on a strong opponent. you have a chance and it is very real to win. well, of course, it is desirable to overtake him. you can always see a little where we manage to overtake a little. we are there, well, we are successful then. look, what is this to you, yaroslav, the question is also like how there is such an observation. what the russians began to, uh, use night assaults more and they have more of these night vision devices, thermal imagers. is this here? what is the change ? fire is very difficult. therefore, these are really some groups that pass by and try to catch our tired guys sleeping in the trenches. well, there are cases when they succeed, but

night storms are, well, more kamikaze. defenseless civilians. and those who are really professionals in their own way, that is, they come in small groups, but i really don’t want to advise , i would advise to use our night equipment guys don't sleep not only in our intelligence and not only in the intelligence of the svoboda battalion there are thermal imagers, we also had a foreign one from irpen, now it's a different generation, which every guy has on his helmet, if not, he buys it at his own expense that's why that our soldiers understand that their lives are priceless and don't buy a thermal imager. if you don't have one, you don't even get one. and they don't allocate it to you. well, it's for honor , it's for necessity, that's why night attacks, like danny's, continue continuously, especially

in the direction of bahmut, which they try not to looking at more to take, but their tactics win more when they let in a crowd forever 15 9 at the same time in small groups when our guys just run out of ammunition, you must have experienced more than once this battle when one guy loads and the other shoots from two rpg machine guns -7 from one of the other and there are simply not enough hands, if there are still such guys getting injured, well, bad things. they need to support their brothers, that's why they try to rush when one person is shot directly in his direction 20-30 yes, even if 5-6 people shoot at one fighter, it is very difficult to endure not only psychologically and physically, because something yes can hit, that is why there are night attacks, we are ready for them , drones do not land and special drones with thermal imagers work in the evening and at night, we can see everything uh, we are stopping and not only on bakhmutsky, we are in another direction. i think this

will not prevent us from stopping the enemy and then going to victory through offensive actions. well , first of all, of course, this is related to the possibility of the russians, but it is enough to organize such with a large number of people, the helm and uh, as long as they have this, you know, not a limited resource of tuzeks, then someone else, it will continue 3 this must be understood here, we must look for ways to really, as you say , destroy them at a distance, do not let them reach these assaults a regarding these and such nighttime assaults. i have also heard that this is actually such a more urgent situation. polina svatova is a criminal and there are actually battles going on in the forest there. russians are trying to escape in the direction of kupyansk, in the direction

of the estuary, after all, she has a boss. lost this one the opportunity to advance, they are trying to move on. and here, ivan, we hardly talked about it. but what is the actual situation there now and what is the purpose of these actions of theirs now, because you see such a big direction when they tried to go in several directions in several directions i understand that it didn't work out for them, they are now forced to focus on one task . well, in fact, they are now forced. let's say that they save resources and concentrate them at least somehow. let's say that in certain directions, not as widely as they planned, but only a little bit, well, that's why. that when, let's say, we try to evaluate the resources of the russians and make an assessment that there are a lot of them, the mobilization resource is unlimited and the like and the like, but right away there is the opposite tendency that if the resource is large, it is used most effectively, accordingly, the wrong result is achieved which should be, in principle, if

we take the russians with theirs if we take their example let's say it's a living force when it looks like on paper what's up, a few hundred men were put into formation and now it turns out that it is necessary to carry out a new mobilization there with around 400 or 500,000 people, and the previous one, let's just say that the wave of mobilization did not give results, so hmmm, they have to limit the efforts of the other side . of course, it looks like why the russians would then not concentrate on one thing at all. well for example, to give up offensive actions on that particular kupyan direction, accordingly , simply transfer everything to bakhmut so that finally , well, i will achieve the desired result for myself, and with that, others just arise problems to abandon the offensive in other areas. they also cannot purely because well, this will be a certain psychological disaster for them, because the main problem is some er , which now, let's say, is sitting down, pushing the army to the bottom, the ref gives us er, not only hope

still in the distant hopes, but also quite practical reasons to expect the right, probably precisely lies in the fact that even if in particular we elements of the russians there demonstrate some progress in them in the morning there , let's say, the headquarters sculpture within the framework of the planning of hostilities within the framework of even carrying out, let’s say so, restoring their manpower, they are still in a certain mess and chaos, and it turns out that they distribute their resources along the front line . in this way, they literally splash out , figuratively speaking, their chaos in staff planning, and it turns out that even if we have there are, let's say, certain objective disadvantages with the fact that, roughly speaking, drones have obstacles in the way of importing drones or their production, but in the end it turns out that everything is even, even thanks to such things, the advantage remains on our side, well, purely because

well, the russians are worse organized than us, that's why, in conclusion, this is how it turns out, look at this. maybe, how can i say, i know that it 's just being discussed and i'm interested in your opinion on this. er, well, the assault offensive that the russians are using now can't be called such a wide-ranging assault, er, is it , uh, uh, uh, uh, well, let's tell everyone what they can uh-uh provide right now. do you think that um- we should expect something more especially since such an assessment has appeared, the institute seems to be... the study of war or is it possible that we are talking about the pentagon when you said that in the spring and summer we should expect more, er, bigger battles and that they will be so fierce, because let's talk about such a bigger perspective, let's each say a few words, we still have a few minutes , yaroslav let's start with you. what do you think? what do you think? we should wait. well, i will

be subjective because when you have been at war for 8 years in a row, it is considered that they will run out of strength. the enemy's side was still in april, may, and now we, with the help of mars and artillery and even aviation, achieved the fact that their logistical routes were broken. warehouses and we as infantry became a little easier to breathe. if you look at the dynamics over the last 6 or 8 months , then really er, we are not what we have now, but we have leveled the situation and since our artillery is getting bigger and bigger and the operator of our auto artillery is a ukrainian intellectual, really guys who want to succeed and

do their job very skillfully, it is really felt so that they are running out of strength well, as for the infantry, i would say that here we are observing such a thing that like in soviet times, 1.5 million rubles were received and they need to be mastered. will disperse it somewhere, children will steal and so on. well, but i see now what it is to master, they are allocated 300,000, very roughly speaking, for the sector from flint to ugledar well, they master them, why is this happening or can this happen in 20223 in the 21st century that is not invested in you this does not mean that it does not exist in the souls and in the heads of other people, and for russian generals and russian officers to dispose of 3,400 souls in one battle is normal for us

mountains when we lost 31 fighters in three months who were e for us a kindred friend who fought with us many months ago, will they decide? well, we hope that this is their last, but their last fist, which they threw at bakhmut, and soon the ukrainian spring and ukrainian victory will begin, but objectively, we need to have a complete picture of the entire front where how many are standing what is the number of these moving towards ukraine i am only hoping for american intelligence which very clearly informs our leadership and our general behind the scenes about the actual number that is now standing or is going to storm in various areas i think only e our generals may possess this complete information . and in my opinion, of course, they

are ending and victory is coming soon. we are all waiting for it . while you were talking. bahmut knocked down the russian court 24 well, you see, he fell beautifully there, and from the looks of things, he didn't even catapult the category very well. well, i don't know if it will be visible, because somehow he's there near the end of this loop, he doesn't fall very well... look, ivan, they shot down this one, well, somehow, this shooting down reminded us of the shooting down of an american drone by the russians in the black sea, intelligence, and it's all about the issue of intelligence, about what they give us and what they don't give us, for example, these drones they didn't give it. well, the russians have already broken it. it's time to give it now. now you really understand the secret here, it's just a nuance of

what the americans will feel . you have a minute. for self-defense, the americans did not bring it to the end, plus if we talk about the initiative to give us a ripter, well, you know, i think that our dear colleagues, friends, and brothers from the bayraktar who passed there will be very upset because it is precisely the bayraktar tb-2 in these rippers with he promotes it so much in the foreign market, that's why you know, it's probably even good that in the end we didn't actually get this rapper because , well, you see, the rapper is expensive to maintain and, well, it's not suitable for joint military operations - it's not very suitable there for cutting out such point terrorists. somehow it suits our conditions . it is much better if we talk about some resource potential there. what makes them better is that the good news is that the russian su-24 flew and shot down the russians over bakhmut. to use aviation with unguided aerial bombs when they have
