[000:00:00;00] goodbye was the big ether and now for your attention a news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news ukraine let's watch together good evening we are from ukraine with ukraine my name is hryhoriy zhagalov i am analyzing the night attack of the russians on the capital, which became the densest in history missiles drones daggers the hardworking himself convinces the air force shot down all the targets, and then this will mean the practically sensational destruction of all daggers in moscow, they say that they destroyed the american petriv, then this is a painful blow to the ukrainian

, so what is known about the events of this night or in the densest attack from the sky during the war, russia hit the city from different directions at the same time with drones , cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, as reported by the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhnyi, and against the air defense shot down all missiles, including 6 modern aeroballistic hypersonic missiles, dagger rakesh, which were considered invulnerable to the moment when, on may 4, the ukrainians did not shoot down the first of them , this is according to the ukrainian side supported by official confirmations from the pentagon, russia - this, by the way, refutes and this time, as i said, six daggers were fired at kiev at once, and if they really shot down all of them, it could lead to a military sensation , while russia stated that it allegedly hit a patriot anti-aircraft missile that was just covering kyiv, the ukrainian side did not confirm this information and will not comment, the air force spokesman told the bbc yuriy ignat, we will talk about this later as a military expert, and in the meantime, i

greet bbc correspondent zhanna bespyachuk from kyiv, who, like all kyivites, spent a sleepless night today. congratulations to zhanna. everyone says this attack through the eyes of the residents of kyiv, it was very different from all the previous stories, how it was, what they say, it can be completely different, and there it is, how long it lasted, how exactly it happened , that is, in general, for about 15-20 minutes, this is what i heard my neighbors heard and many other eyewitnesses of kyiv, such a series took place, a series of explosions rang out and the very intensive work of air defense , uh, it could be heard, that is, an explosion and shots , shots of explosions took place, at some point it seemed that this should be over already, you can’t wait for how long to continue, but in fact it lasted and already

as we now understand it was happening this is exactly how it was due to the large number of missiles that russia launched over the ukrainian capital and did it in a very short period of time, then relatively everything calmed down and it looked like this in the sky of kyiv to some extent because it's like star wars, but it's actually a real war, and for example, people on the upper floors of high-rise buildings on the left bank in that district of diameshko could watch it as if watching a movie about star wars. but again, it's real the war, and by the shouts of people, you could understand that something was happening, a rocket was shot down, another rocket was shot down, they were very happy. well, the neighbors who were using their works, that is , it happened just above the city in the center, how

is it in general, uh, bars were found in several areas of the city and in various districts and shevchenkivskyi, solomyanskyi district, darnytskyi, i knew specifically one house in the darnytskyi district, where a rocket fragment damaged the facade, but to a small extent, and rocket fragments were already found there in the yard ; one car was also damaged by a missile fragment on happiness without injuries, without any complications, and without any serious destruction, everything happened, that is, it was another indicator of the successful work of air defense. kyiv, well, actually, if the message of the ukrainian command is confirmed

, then the work of air defense last night has every chance to enter the history textbook at the beginning of the place. above kiev, one hypersonic dagger missile is here, a barrage of such missiles right there, as stated by zulzhny, around three o'clock, 30 russians attacked ukraine from the north, south and east directions with 18 missiles of various types of air, sea and land- based bases. we are talking about nine cruise missiles caliber they were launched from ships in the black sea, the caliber is those cruise missiles that, in principle , intercept air defense with a fairly successful launch from afar, and the launch is quite easy to record , given the relatively low speed flight about 900 km/h due to enough time to calculate the trajectory and shoot down, three ground -based missiles were also launched today, there is still uh

, he is finding out the details of the 400 or the scanders. the range is 2,000 km, they accelerate to a speed of 10 mach, well, in general, it is difficult to calculate the usual figures, but let’s tentatively say up to 12,000 km/h . according to the statements of the armed forces, they already did this once on the fourth of may. and now they intercepted six at once. today, military expert dmytro snyryov is in touch with us. i congratulate you. attack . dense list of missiles. s-400 daggers, or scandal. m caliber. well, it's not just a random list. yes. let's conditional on this and this. and why are there such missiles ? what was the plan of the russians? the roken plan was overstretched . the ppu is praying that it was launched from three sides of the people's heights at speeds on

the air target so that they hit the object almost at the same time. this is done for in order to upgrade the air defense system and, accordingly, they are possible and effective work at the time of their countermeasures, in addition, it is worth noting that hmm, as the main goal was declared, it was still abandoned and the petriv complexes, therefore, i do not exclude that at the launch at the same time the goals were on aims to identify the location of the petriv otmovich system that the petriv system is clearly a powerful radar for detecting chile or approaching at long distances, which makes it a fairly effective and powerful air defense platform, but it is worth saying that the radiation of the radar is necessary to detect external threats at a distance, it enables the enemy to detect the patriot battery and find out its location, so it is not accidental that such a nature of attacks from different sides and the use of different nomenclature

also speaks of drones, respectively, of e-e daggers and e calibers plus from you have already named modifications from kander, well, actually, last time, past times, when the russians wanted to exhaust ukrainian popov, they launched dozens of up to 70 rockets there, if i’m not mistaken, and now 18 of them reached six daggers, which are expensive, which are there, well, it is practically an artificial product there in russia, which saves money, that is, six daggers at once - this indicates that they were able to discover the location of the petrivs, then they tried to discover it. the official comments of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine on this matter, but come on, for now we can talk about the fact that the russian occupiers

really aimed to detect the patriot systems , especially since unlike other air defense systems all systems are not mobile, they are stationary and, accordingly, make uh, let's put it this way, the possibility of their detection is quite serious. well, literally, yes, now there are no official comments on this account in the air force. they say that there will be no comments, and cnn does not with reference to sources say that indeed the complex may be damaged, although not destroyed , again, this is a reference to the sources, the question is, uh, um , uh, if, say, the russians detect the location of the patriot base, these are radars, these are launchers, what exactly can they sow the radar? already talked about the fact that

the most vulnerable part of the patriot is precisely the radiation of the radar, which is necessary to detect threats at a distance . there was information about the shooting down of one dagger missile, there was a lot of skepticism, and the russians continue, the russians do not confirm, although there is an official report to the pentagon that it really happened, today the ukrainians say that six daggers were shot down this is as possible given the technical characteristics of the dagger, let's talk about the technical characteristics of the first , not a patriot, we are talking about the modernized version of paper.io, this is fact three, which does not have a combat part, uses the method of direct destruction , that is, against a rocket at high speed

, it is handed directly to a fast- a high-speed target and hits it thanks to kinetic energy. this happened at the moment of the downing of the dagger and on may 4 and , accordingly, during the last missile, that is, the russians actually miscalculated in the modification patriots, as for the daggers, it was already proven on may 4 that there are no analogs , what the russian side claimed turned out to be nothing more than an informational bluff, and it is worth mentioning that after may 4, the united states announced that the transfer of the petri systems to ukraine is one this is the most successful investment, this is indicative, dmytro, we have literally one minute left, the question is that kyiv is covered now what is happening at the front with air defense, given that in the near future

, uh, an offensive of 50 seconds is currently expected our much-talked-about anti-aircraft system is praying that there has already been information about the transfer to the ukrainian side of the italian frank, which, like the patriot , can work for ballistic purposes . in addition, there is confirmation of the transfer of the german-made cheetah systems, that is, we can say that the ukrainian the party is creating practically and has already created practically from scratch an echeloned into the ppu system that makes the missile activity of the occupying army impossible - this is a very military expert dmytro snegiriov so the night missile strike is unprecedented in density came at a time when president zelenskyi completed a flight from a tour of european countries, one by one ukraine's allies in europe italy, france, germany , the united kingdom promised the president of ukraine new weapons systems, new military aid worth

billions of dollars, but even this is very large, but volodymyr zelenskyi did not convince western partners to create such the so-called coalition of fighters, at least he did not receive any specific assurances on this matter. this is what the former director of european affairs at the us national security council told the bbc about this oleksandr vinpman currently not. but it is interesting that europe, in particular germany, which was one of the first stops of the president on the tour, great britain and france promised to allocate significant additional resources to some areas, even more than the united states in terms of long-range missile capabilities, which the west was not very willing to provide, but the president in zelensk managed to get them, there was also a certain action regarding the planes, there were promises to teach the ukrainian military not only to fly them, but also to know how to repair them

it will last a month and this is a great achievement for the country. great britain also promised additional strike drones, but i think we have not heard much about the most important closed discussion regarding the security guarantee for ukraine, the key with a certain announcement at the upcoming summit in lithuania about ukraine's accession to nato, it is too early to talk about it but i believe that after the end of this war, in order to plan tricks and peace , some security guarantees should appear, some prospect of ukraine joining nato due to the unpreparedness of the event, first of all, the united states the states should not wait for this. at the current summit, but i think in a year, a similar announcement is quite possible, and finally, president zelenskyi just addressed the participants of the council of europe in reykjavik . you can find all the details about this story on our website bbc.ua.
