, the deadline for the transfer of mig-29 fighters to ukraine was called as it will strengthen the ukrainian army, let's talk british german fighter jets for the first time jointly intercepted a russian plane near the airspace of estonia, these were the first consequences of the incident with the american drone over the black sea and what exactly was it and is there a direct conflict between the usa and russia in this situation? well, metropolitan pavlo lebed and other monks of this church appealed to the ukrainian people and the authorities not to evict them from the territory of the kyiv-pechersk lavra, they declare that prayed for a long time for the victory of volodymyr zelenskyi in the presidential elections and now ask him to protect the laurel how will this story end, we will discuss all possible options today freedom life us senators from both parties demand from the pentagon the supply of f16 for ukraine this is what politikus writes according to journalists - eight senators from of the democratic republican party of the usa sent a letter to defense minister lloyd austin in which they asked to evaluate a number of factors necessary for the transfer

of fighter jets to ukraine, in particular senators asked the pentagon to assess the impact of the f-16 on the course of the war and when ukrainian pilots will be able to undergo training on these aircraft , representatives of both parties also expressed confidence that the war is at a critical moment and western fighter jets could give kyiv advantages against the supply of the f-16 , in particular the president of the united states speaks out joe biden and white house national security adviser jake sullivan believe that ukraine has more urgent needs, the deputy head of the pentagon, kolyan kal, believes that air defense systems remain the main priority for kyiv. artillery and armored vehicles, the timing of possible deliveries is also a problem. according to the most optimistic estimates, already produced fighters may end up in ukraine in about 18 months, and the production of new ones will take from three to six years , the politician says in the material. -29 the day before , journalists asked the prime minister of the country, meteos muravetskyi, when

the planes can actually be handed over to ukraine. this is what he said. the delivery of mig-29 fighters to ukraine can take place within four six weeks well, this is actually april. last week, polish leaders said that the delivery of combat aircraft to ukraine would be carried out only within the framework of an international coalition , but literally now, the spokesman of the polish government, piotr müller, said that warsaw had received clear statements from several countries that also wanted to supply ukraine with fighter jets. -29 billion did not specify which countries it is about . well, it is known that, in addition to poland, among the other nato members that are armed with mig-16 fighter jets are, in particular, bulgaria, croatia, romania well, as of now, there are reasons to assume that slovakia is one of the countries that can participate in the transfer of fighter jets to kyiv. today, the country's government announced the start of discussions on this issue, and the spokesman for the ministry of defense of slovakia , yaroslav nad, said that his country

, together with poland, is ready to transfer kiev fighter jet, he also stated that some myths, if they are sent to ukraine , they will be used only for spare parts due to their technical condition, well actually planes for ukraine, prospects, expectations, reality that's all we'll talk about now people's deputy of ukraine head of the permanent delegation of ukraine to the nato parliamentary assembly yehor chernyav joins our broadcast yehor my greetings good evening may 16-may 29 i apologize as far as what i read in open sources is the easiest way to strengthen ukrainian aviation because ukrainian pilots know how to use them. they are in service with many nato countries. what are the prospects, what is called expectation, is reality. i think that the chances are quite high, especially considering that these planes are with our closest neighbors and closest allies, such as the countries of poland or slovakia or romania, in principle

, as you can see, poland gives us everything we want , everything we ask for, understanding the threat from the russian federation, and deliver them quickly enough device. we can also, moreover, there are exclusively questions about the technical condition . because some countries have modernized their aircraft, even mig-29, already during the last 30 years, some countries bought them 30 years ago. the condition does not meet modern requirements, it can be used only as spare parts, but it is a political decision . i understand what to do and what we can expect in the near future.

about the counteroffensive, well, if someone follows someone here , it is within the framework of the international coalition that they are deciding that in ukraine the critical moment has come when it is necessary to hand over the planes . is this somehow agreed upon or not? do you know when we we are talking about f16 and we are pedaling this issue, we understand that there is some time lag between making a decision and receiving these aircraft in the sky over ukraine and this time lag consists of the arrangement of ground bases and repair bases for the training of our pilots and so, that's why we say that let's start these processes now in order to get these planes in the sky in 3-5-6 months. and this just happens to be in line with our plans for a counteroffensive, but for example, the f16 is a multi-target aircraft. which can

to be used, including how we use our airplanes as anti-aircraft means of air defense and many cruise missiles, they come true and they are shot down by the same pilots using the aircraft fleet that we have had since soviet times. therefore, they can become very quickly in formation and perform tasks not only to cover the infantry in the counterattack, but also as against the strengthening of anti-aircraft defense , that is, the transmission could somehow correlate with the stage at which it is now at which it is now there are counter-offensive actions as it is currently developing and the f16 is for such a long-term perspective it should actually be cover from the air so that it does not feel impunity for russian e-e air attack aircraft or fighters for that very reason we need more aircraft and the enemy tried to convince its own army, first of all, that

ukraine had no aviation left in the first days , why did the destruction of its airships turn around, we still have to have a sufficient number of aircraft in the case of a contour offensive in order to they were covering this counterattack from the air, do we have enough for today hmm, i'm not sure, will we hold , will we have time to get f16 , i doubt it very much. western partners, which fighter jets were not discussed, any conditions before handing them over to ukraine regarding the fighter jets, i didn’t hear any conditions anymore, there were such counter-arguments, why is it impossible today, why is it impossible there now, why is it difficult, why is it expensive, why is it

it is difficult logistically and so on. well, there were some arguments. that it is difficult and expensive. not today, but there were no conditions regarding the use or non-use of these aircraft. these conditions were for heimers and not to use long-range missiles. on the territory of the russian federation regarding fighters, i have not heard that she may receive them in the near future, i am of course talking about the mig-29s that are in poland, slovakia and, like this country, which are already in principle politically, i understand that they have decided to transfer in kiev, our air force is talking about the fact that in order to close our skies, we had to have

a ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this is one number, if it could be 29, well, which are somewhat inferior, for example, the su-27, the materialization of which is many in the modernized and many in the russian federation, this is so, so, so, this is another number, again, if they were talking about the f16, then our air forces are talking about that that it takes about five brigades from - in order to close the sky, that's about 200 planes , 200-250. that's it. if we talk about mig-29, then i think that we still need more of them. but do our partners have such a number? i doubt it very much, i think that we can expect well, maybe a few dozen of them, uh, again, the question is about the state of the aircraft fleet that our partners yehor has

if for 116, i still can’t understand some things. well, uh, the american media report that the senators turned to the pentagon and asked to review realistically it is promising to give ukraine f16 in the near future, namely f-16 well, representatives of both parties say that from their point of view, perhaps a critical moment has come in the war and western fighters could give kyiv an advantage, and it is immediately reported that it will take at least 18 months to supply ukraine with f16 fighters i simply cannot understand the logic of how in the same washington sees that the critical moment has come now and fighters in 18 months, well, this is what i am telling you about . i don't think it's worth it, but this long process needs to start

sometime, and we've been shouting about this for almost a year, almost from the very beginning of the full-scale invasion, to our partners that we understand that it's a long process , but let's start it now so that in 5-6 9 10 18 months how do they count i think it will still take less time because our uh um officers uh are trained very quickly in all programs in all parameters moreover it's not from scratch training retraining so i think it's takes between but need to do it now and when the senators talk about the critical moment, they, uh, they are basically right somewhere, because we see the number of unclean russians who are trying to advance in our country on the eastern flank. should be f16 i doubt it very much because these are not really comparable things

that's why we're talking about f16 let's start this procedure but for today or for yesterday we need long-range missiles this can become really decisive on the battlefield when we we will take the entire occupied territory under fire control, and you saw how the heimers work for 90 km, we drove away their warehouses and command posts, if we have telecabined missiles for a radius of 300 km, then i am separate, the entire occupied territory and we will be able to destroy all their warehouses . in their rear, this is it is, i think, the highest priority for today , including for the counteroffensive, but rather than long-range missiles. as i understand it, there is also no political decision from the same people who make decisions about the f-16, unfortunately, unfortunately, and we we constantly emphasize that we should already give these long-range missiles. but there are again indications that we will use them on

the territory of the russian federation, on the warehouses on the territory of the russian federation, and this can provoke putin to what else. i'm being honest when i ask the question, what else does to happen on the part of the russian federation to this to this question i will not receive answers more than that we say what we passed this exam when we received heimers and undertook not to use them against military targets we did not use the targets on the territory of the russian federation, we have other means of our own to achieve these goals , so we are still a question for me, why this decision was not made when the pentagon is talking about the fact that the main priority for kyiv is not airplanes, not aviation, but anti-aircraft artillery systems and armored vehicles do you understand what logic they use, they use the logic of the operational-tactical level, what is needed for today and tomorrow, not for what will be there

in a month 2 3 5 because they are somehow more are responding to the emergency regime and are providing us with what we need for today in order to stop the offensive of the russians on the one hand and on the other hand to carry out these counter-offensive actions, but without all their components there will be it's difficult to carry out because ok, we get a sufficient number of shells, let's say we get a sufficient number of tanks and armored personnel carriers, but without cover from the sky and without the destruction of their warehouses in their rear, well, it will be a lame duck that we are allegedly advancing on one side but we have covered from the air, yes, that is, here i have questions, after all, regarding the strategic vision of the situation at the front on the part of our

partners, you said about. it is necessary for ukraine, you said that if only 250 would be enough in 16, then we are much more than them. and do you have an idea how much all the western countries that have these mig-29 really are, because they could really transfer it to ukraine and someone is talking about numbers now, i don’t have e- how many of these numbers are there? it is possible to transfer but i understand the reserves of the countries that operated these planes and they are dozens, not hundreds of planes in each country 20 30 well maybe somewhere 50 somewhere 15 and such countries are not that many in europe so they are still scattered around the world there in egypt

i have some other countries that rule there, the situation is more complicated, they are not ready to help with weapons at all, such countries are former well, not satellites, but partners of the soviet union, which in principle have become partners of the russian federation , well, again, uh, we can’t, i really doubt it what we will collect a few hundreds, a few tens, eh. maybe today was the 10th rammstein, he came online, well , defense minister oleksiy reznikov says that rammstein inspires optimism, but i understand that today was not about planes, instead, the pentagon reported that nine 5 countries have announced their intention to transfer more than 150 leopards. the head of the pentagon, however, did not specify which countries will be transferred and which terms, which terms are being discussed. do you have an understanding of the terms here? the question is which leopards, first of all, because if these are the second leopards, then the terms can be shortened enough, because these are fresh tanks

that can be transferred, well , quickly enough, removed from storage and sent to ukraine . if we are talking about the first leopards, this is a fairly old tank, it is an analogue not even the 72nd, you rather the 64th, and they need to be transferred, there are really quite modernized tanks, there are those that, in principle, remained in the condition in which they were produced 40 or 50 years ago, and here the question arises how much will be needed time it is in order to spend them to and it may take a month it may take a month thank you very much for your comment yehor june people's deputy of ukraine head of the permanent delegation of ukraine to the nato parliamentary assembly we talked about the prospects of ukraine receiving aviation thank you incidents with an american drone in the black sea will not lead to a direct conflict between by the usa and russia, this is stated in the current review of the american institute for the study of war

, the american mq-9 reaper drone, which fell into the black sea after a collision with a russian fighter jet, flew from its base in romania and carried out planned development, at least this is stated in a publication from the new york times with reference to a high-ranking military official of the united states, the interlocutor of the newspaper said that the drone can carry helfyer missiles , but it was not equipped with them. on march 14 , the parade performed a mission approximately 120 km on south-west of the annexed crimea , the representative of the us national security council, john kirby , in an interview with sinn, stated that washington does not want the device's data to fall into the hands of outsiders, and therefore the united states has taken measures to of the protection of his property, he noted the details, although he did not specify america's reaction to the russian and ukrainian officials to the incredible collision of a russian plane with an american drone

. further, the journalists of the cbs tv channel reproduced what this collision might have looked like, according to pentagon spokesman patrick ryder, russian planes dropped fuel on the ju-9 apparently trying to blind or damage the drone and flew in front of it before one of the fighters engaged the turboprop engine of the uav as a result of which us forces were forced to sink a drone in international waters, the incident was reacted to in particular in the us senate, the act is another reckless act by president putin and his military, and i want to tell mr. putin to stop this behavior before you become the cause of an unintentional escalation. we have seen this behavior of the russian military before and this will not deter the united states from carrying out operation black sea , according to the spokesman of the air

force command of ukraine, yuriy ignat, the incident took place in international space to the southeast of the snake islands and the american mq-9 reaper could not establish a threat to russian aircraft. the black sea is not the internal sea of ​​russia , like the sea of ​​azov, as they think. yes, it is a sea that has access to nato member states and romania, and here turkey and so on and uh, in the international space, you can criticize . well, excuse me, you want to fly. they fly their bombers to the shores of great britain so that they raise a certain interception, uh, fighter jets, and well, through the scandinavian countries, and so on. well, here the scout scouts, he does what for what it was created, what is the threat from such a single uav, well, you understand, there is simply nothing to comment here. the secretary of the national security and defense council of ukraine , oleksiy danilov, wrote on twitter that russia

has begun to use all-in tactics and this is putin’s signal about readiness to expand the conflict zone with involvement of other parties , the spokesman of the us state department, net price, said that this incident is a clear violation of international law . after being summoned to washington, the russian ambassador to the us, anatolii antonov, said that moscow does not want confrontation with the usa and reiterated the position of the ministry of defense of the russian federation, which claims that no russian aircraft was in contact with an american drone; in addition, antonov assures that russia considers this space to be the area of ​​a special military operation and reported this. american journalists asked the representative of the pentagon whether the russian military could take away the damaged drone, i will not go into the details of what is on this particular aircraft, except, again

, the platform for collecting and processing intelligence due to the damage they were forced to actually crash it into the black sea as far as i know at the moment the russians have not taken this plane but again while our efforts to get it back are ongoing we can't add anything to this just now on the defense express portal it is reported that the u.s. have already lost such drones on the territory , and it is assumed that the russian federation already has fragments of the mq9 ripper . and the pentagon probably predicted the destruction of components that could be of importance to the enemy at the same institute for the study of war they believe that this situation will not lead to an escalation of the conflict maksym grabovskyi radio svoboda the incident with the american drone over the black sea already has its first consequences british german fighter jets for the first time jointly intercepted a russian plane near the airspace of estonia and this is how bbc correspondents report western

aviation intercepts military aircraft of the air force forces of russia quite often about this being the first such joint operation of the air forces of great britain and germany, and bbc correspondents believe that this is the consequence of the incident in the black sea, an expert on international security of the yaka kuchereva foundation for democratic initiatives taras zoftenko joins our broadcast taras my congratulations, what happened from your point of view yesterday over the black sea how can it be qualified does this happen often ? happened - this is such a logical continuation of ancient russian behavior that completely ignores all the basic rules of air safety and in general how e-e should behave in the air space especially in international airspace, when military pilots approach or when, to a certain extent, enter into some kind of contact with the military of another state

, for example, in general, well, no matter how russian behavior in this situation, it does not cause any surprise because the russians act like this systematically, that is, in fact, these are their irresponsible actions in the air, they are recorded by nato member countries every year , and the number of these incidents actually, as they say, is in the tens, and , well, it is not necessarily for the whole year there, well too much, in general, it keeps separate statistics. yes, if such russian provocations, as a rule, the russians timed these provocations to either some military exercises that took place under the guidance of the north atlantic alliance, well, or to some own internal propaganda, and in principle, this was done and over the baltic sea, this was done regularly over near the coast of the east coast of great britain. well , russian bombers liked to fly there, here 95, that is , the russians, in principle, practice this tactic

, they use different types of aircraft for such provocations and they use not only provocations in the air space, that is, there were many incidents when , for example, nato conducted regular military exercises in the black sea and russian su-24 bombers flew over american military ships in very dangerous proximity, but you , i’m sorry you say that this happens from time to time, but probably not after every such incident . the americans actually lost their uh-uh aerial vehicle, but uh-uh considering that it was a drone, it was an unmanned aerial vehicle, we can say that the russians well , first of all, they were ready for such a provocation this time, and secondly, that what if the americans lost this drone. this was most likely the main goal

of the russians to make this drone or destroy it in what way. well, we saw that the russians tried different methods. in fact , yes, or in principle make it so that really the americans lost it, realizing that it would not lead to any serious escalation. because there is no threat to the pilot's leg or health, so who is piloting this uav, that 's why it's a risk calculated by the russians - it's a provocation calculated by the russians. well, actually, we saw that the american side also reacted far not as usual, they react, yes, because as a rule, in response to such things, nato , for example, or individual nato member countries that were affected by these russian provocations that happened earlier, they are just there they expressed their concern and called on the russians to behave more responsibly, as they say, here we also saw the summons of the russian envoy to the state department and uh, respectively, political comments uh here , if from different from different sides, here and

the ministry of defense of the united states and the white house and so on, that is, in principle. well, if the reaction of the americans was quite serious enough from the point of view of the political and diplomatic steps that can be taken in this situation , what was the purpose and motivation of russia to carry out such a provocation? you say that this is a provocation, er, the goal of russia is a typical one, well, first of all, it is bad, what kind of thing can we afford to do this with challenges er, to the american military and at the attraction, and no one will do anything to us. only, well, the cause is consequential the connection here in russian propaganda is a little broken, yes, because the russians interpret it as a weakness for themselves. yes, what kind of uh, the americans were scared. yes, and that's why they didn't respond in any way, or nato was scared. yes, and that's why they didn't respond in any way. principles of the position of the civilized world of the same united states

in the states, it is a little different, but if you have to behave as correctly and adequately as possible, even if you have to act adequately, in this situation, especially now, when it is obvious that the russians are looking for any excuse to blame the escalation on the americans , because now their propaganda in this context does not feel very confident because, well , against the background of the fact that russia was the first to start the largest war of aggression in europe since the second world war, it covers absolutely all the accusations that the russian the regime can throw there against the countries of the western world, and here, if the russians managed to get such a tougher response directly from the americans, they would already have a formal , but at least such an actual reason to further promote their flag in the english car. in the end, i think that the answers of the americans will be, but it will not be directly and it will be conditionally speaking with our help, so that is, we will receive additional air defense batteries and in the end additional help from

our western allies in order to these russian fighter jets who allow themselves to do this over the black sea so that at least the russians become much less prone to such provocations, well, at least in the black sea region, such incidents or such cases may be directly related to the way the usa or other western countries will give ukraine has aviation and means of protection, and there is no such connection, but such an incident is one of those very vivid and very clear, unambiguous arguments for the western elites that, in principle, with russia, there are some such normal rationally normal it is not possible to conduct business nationally and the only way, let's say so, is to calm them down, so for now, show them the power, show them that there are means to restrain them precisely in the aspect of power and not in any other way, not in politics, diplomatic. therefore, this is one from
