fridays at 21:15 at espresso de-occupation and how can it be, now it is not possible, the history of the liberated cities of ukraine is gone . let's see how our brothers helped us . they freed us from a normal life. houses and ukrainian people's natsyks are here yes, we are all nationalists of the people here did they resist the residents came here stopped and sent upstairs and became heroes the novel was and will always be ukraine about unbreakable cities of ukraine from of the ukraine project in the deoccupation documentary cycle that on saturdays at 11:10 on espresso i welcome you on the espresso channel, in the first 10 days of may , at least 50 drone strikes of various types were carried out on enemy targets in the territory of russia and the occupied crimea, and this is

a significant increase compared to in the past months , it is even difficult to count how many blows to the enemy were inflicted by our ephebidrons. so, today in our military program we will talk about ukrainian drones of various purposes. more precisely about how they are created by our teams, what problems are solved by our domestic developers, including against the background of proposals from foreign companies, because they also supply drones to our armed forces and the defense forces. our developers drones sometimes add quite a lot of new details and nuances. my name is serhiy zhorits. i am the director of the information consulting company defense express, which, together with

espresso channels, strives to highlight the most current defense-industrial and military trends. so, drones have already become such a top topic of any war . at first, we had a really big degree related to the topic of drones. the liberation of nagorno-karabakh and actively used drones of various purposes, both strike and reconnaissance, then, by the way, the use of baryakhtars, which ukraine bought in the 19th year, was quite active, and it was clear that this e-e component for the ukrainian army is extremely the beginning of the first stage of the war with the russian federation, where the drones that we had, baryachtars and artillery reconnaissance drones were actively used, and by the way, that first period of the war was extremely revealing from the point of view of the losses of these unmanned systems the british

institute of russia calculated that during the first stage of the war, during the first three months , ukraine lost more than 90% of drones of various purposes, and at that time the average life expectancy of a quadcopter was only three flights, and the average the life expectancy of such an aircraft-like type would be about six flights in total, only a third of the drone missions, the first period of the war was successful and successful, but since then the ukrainian army has learned to use drones more effectively, there have been more of them, they now perform more functions than before, and the ministry of defense seeks to have drones of various systems of different classes, let's remember the words of defense minister rosiykov. he said that during the first year of the war , more drones were allowed to be used by the armed forces

than in the last 5 years, various experts emphasized that these drones should perform functions both in the sky and on the ground and on the water, and at the same time , he bet that this should be done by national teams and developers, but i will remind you that later this initiative related to the creation of drones, the promotion of the emergence of new developments , and the ministry of digital transformation gradually took over, which by the way, a couple of weeks ago, launched a new initiative, briuvan, this is actually such a startup that combines the possibilities of numbers he is the promotion strategist of the ministry of defense of the general staff and the ministry of economy in order to help ukrainian teams to quickly create technological samples that are needed by the armed forces, but in any case, today every team that creates drones tries hard to manufacture them, solves its own problems and lives in a certain way in its own world of challenges and requirements and that is why every conversation with such teams

really gives me new knowledge, both for me as an expert and for society as a matter of fact, who understand that this direction is promising , but it needs to be helped, even though guys who they create the second themselves, sometimes they are the main locomotives to promote their projects to the armed forces and now we will talk with our first guest - this is the head of the government team , a german volunteer, maxim, music, maxim, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, thank you for the invitation, uh, we haven't talked to you yet somewhere it seems like three months and i would like to hear from you what news there is in the nemes command, what is happening with your unmanned complex, how is it developing, is there an order, that is, for now about the positive news accompanying your project, in fact, there is enough positive news let's say that during this time we already received an official permit for operation from the ministry of defense and now we are just conducting negotiations

regarding contracting according to this 256 resolution, which was adopted at the end of march. types, of course, and it slightly expands the possibilities of the state defense order and flexibility , first of all, well, the 345 resolution, according to which it is already possible to put e-e into operation quickly enough , it will be allowed to operate, it is functioning thanks to the team there and to oleksiy reznikov and the former oleksandr liev, when did they do it, it should have been done earlier , but it’s good that it was done here. in addition, we have already installed 60 crews flying now that are effectively performing the place and i heard that at the beginning

the life cycle of the drone, the life span of the drone, because there was a certain unavailability of crews for the research of these people who were used , let's put it for now, in principle, despite the fact that the means of radio electronic the enemy's struggle, the resistance is increasing. nevertheless, we have drones that have already performed hundreds of strike missions and successfully performed them. therefore, we are moving on , yes, of course, there are losses of drones, we are trying to compensate for them, and this is our resolution, for example . of the percussion families that were formed, they will be saturated , including ours in english, that is, i have maxim , we will now dial again from you so that the connection becomes even better. the resolution of the cabinet of ministers, which is designed for one year and it provides, first of all, a simplified procurement procedure from

the companies that manufacture these drones, and also, most importantly, it provides for a slightly different pricing mechanism , because previously it was considered such that it does not allow e-e to direct a significant amount from the order for consideration of the development of the industrial industry itself, which is at the disposal of these companies, and now, as i understand it, the percentage of profit in the company has become much more, somewhere around 25% compared to the three percentages that were before and this and this 25% are an important contribution to the fact that the company could develop now, uh , maxim is coming back to us, maxim, the head of maxim's team, please continue, and i began to tell you what the 256th resolution, which she understands, and the simplification procedures and other profitability for e-e projects carried out by companies on explain how this is reflected, first of all, well, from the point of view

of your company, why is it cool from the point of view, well, from the point of view of the survival of the development of the enterprise. the profitability of contracts for defense orders was somewhere from two to four percent . it was unprofitable for many manufacturers to do it better and transparently, and moreover, it did not allow to invest any funds in the lease and register them there. in expanding production, it is now 25%. this, in principle , allows you to cover the costs associated with the operation of the company , that is, of course, you can develop there randy, you can't there, then you can't attribute rental costs there, but nevertheless it gives a certain promotion, it's better than it was before that well, the most important thing is that there is an order, and in fact, for any manufacturer working in the military segment , it is very important to have a forecasted order in order to expand production, because it

is impossible to do production and then wait for you to be contracted with us, in fact, if i can honestly say that we have one client , that is, it is a business with one client and everything depends on that , so the resolution is good. i heard a lot from the ministry of defense that already more than a hundred developers have already submitted documents for admission to the please tell our viewers what you can do, ms. shaar, because you can say that we experts know them, but people usually, well, sometimes they forget such cool things can be done by our company , and i think that it is necessary to remind and this will only be useful, yes, in fact, we have a reusable strike drone of an aircraft type, that is

, an aircraft type that allows it to fly at a distance of 45 km, but our crews worked at a distance of up to 60 km and performed tasks, well, that is, of course, a copter-type system. they do not allow working at this distance, point eh-e is correct. let’s say that with a ballistic calculator, we can use an unguided munition from a height of 400,500 with the accuracy of a guided munition with a deviation of up to 4 m, that is, and this drone is currently performing a lot of frontline tasks and tasks of special forces of special operations, and in fact, our complexes are in fact in all of ukraine, from the land to the patrol police and the ngu and the border guards and ssssoy gura and so on

that is, now there are many of you who have direct experience of using our system and who are really convinced of it. there are no systems that are guaranteed to be damaged. all systems have certain limitations, and we also need to work on the entire backbone of the network on reproducibility, and we are definitely working on it, that is, in the future there will be improvements to the modification of all this system and new systems in the near future . maxim, when we talk about ammunition in unified ammunition, we discussed with you last time on this topic what it should be what ammunition do you use, how do you make it, what is its power, how unified is it, see the problem of ammunition, this is precisely the biggest problem facing the ministry of defense, the ministry of defense and all of us involved in the drone army project, because we de facto do not have regular ammunition

for -th strike drones, most teams go in two ways, the first way is to make structural changes, standard ammunition , dropping minsk, dropping combat units, other artillery systems, which in principle from the point from a legal point of view, this is prohibited, including by the statute of the armed forces, here we went a different way, we actually complete the container from this container , the so-called improvised explosive device is already at the disposal of the crew directly. that is, de jure tsvp is an improvised explosive device that allows you to hit with great accuracy. we unfortunately we cannot allow crews to use anything because in order to achieve a hit this munition must have the appropriate ballistics predicted for us by our ballistic alignment calculator hanging and so on. therefore, we supply this container directly to the units, now stratekprom is busy
