was taken by the city of dnipro and the region , the president of the united states of america, joe biden, said that russia has already lost more than 100,000 soldiers in the battles in the bakhmut direction, meanwhile, german chancellor olafsholz says that ukraine will not become a member of nato in the near future, the russian the occupiers continue to lose manpower and equipment in ukraine, as of the morning of may 22, russia has already lost 203,880 people in ukraine in the last day alone, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 720 orks with the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost in ukraine 1,785 tanks, 747 armored combat vehicles, 3,278 artillery pieces systems 565 tractor salvo fire systems 327 air defense means 309 aircraft 294 helicopters 6.73

units of motor vehicles 18 ships boats 1100 - 1011 cruise missiles 2,830 drones 427 units of automotive equipment the russian federation is attacked by russian volunteers in ukraine they promise f16 well, lukashenko is going to a meeting with vladimir putin, although the topic of the meeting has not yet been announced and it is not clear what the belarusian dictator will talk about with his russian colleague , we talk about this and other things in our program i would like to introduce today's first guest - this is a military expert, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine in the reserve, a military pilot-instructor, roman svitanku on colonel, good day and good health to you, i wish you good health, thank you, let's start with the f16, the president of the united states of america

, joe biden, told about plans to train ukrainian pilots on fourth -generation fighters, including the f16, let's hear from biden , supplies for ukraine are bridges, artillery , equipment, so that ukraine can to defend myself, i told mr. zelenskyi that mr. e. will start training ukrainian pilots on fourth-generation aircraft, including the f16, in order to support ukraine's ability to defend itself er, so that they could resist what is now and be able to defend themselves better than

before f-16 providing modern fighter jets to ukraine, er, was not the main topic of the big seven, of course, there were other issues , but the formation of a coalition is too important for ukraine fighter jets as volodymyr zelenskyi says, let's start this conversation and explain to our tv viewers what is changing with the arrival of f-16 aircraft in ukraine, what is it that they have radically changed the course of the russian-ukrainian war, joseph baryl has already confirmed the beginning of the training of ukrainian pilots for 16 of them, that’s just before the meeting of the es council at the level of ministerial countries, so if they have already confirmed it and the training has started, it means that in 3-4 months you can already expect these planes to carry out combat tasks

on the front line, the task of aviation of this level is multi-purpose fighters that can be used in the mode of fighters and interceptors of bombers and attack aircraft , that is, to perform the tasks of the forces against air defense, strengthening the air defense of the country by means of destruction at er ranges of er radius of combat operations. and this er radius is somewhere around the floor of 1,000 km, plus the range of the missile is somewhere another 150 km, at least at a range of 650 km, our air defense can destroy missiles and planes and any unmanned enemy aircraft with the help of these planes, that is, we increase the shoulder and make a long arm for our system about when these fighters will come, plus these same planes can fulfill the task of supporting the entry of

our offensive offensive efforts on the ground by increasing the power defeats with the help of e-e if there will be falling booms from guided bombs e-e rockets unguided controlled air earth e-e literally break into the russian fortified areas from the air e-e in front of our advancing units and their use will reduce our losses e-e where - that's on the order of times in 10 eh. as a minimum and plus it will speed up the movement of our eh the truth is that everything will depend on the number of these planes the weapons that will be transferred with them are very important, since the plane itself is just a flying platform that is armed only with a cannon . well, the rest of their advantage depends on

the weapons that this plane can carry. 9 spin suspensions er, therefore, he can carry any weapon , which, well, most of the types of weapons that are on it will be transferred and the number of weapons will not depend on it effectively. volodymyr zelenskyi at the final press conference after the meeting with the leaders of the g7 announced that how many planes and when it will be possible to get them, it is not yet known about the receipt. as zelenskyi says, such planes are necessary speed up, let's hear from volodymyr zelenskyi , in addition to ppps of various formats, you know that this is a global system, we are not only talking about

petrivna, we are grateful for the fact that we were handed the needles of the kratals, we are grateful for the powerful package of arrests we are grateful for the sams and this is a really large number, which today is not enough to protect our sky. nevertheless, a part of this must be performed by the western-style aviation, and that is why we worked so hard on it, and today the training mission is open to us , this is the first step. next is the appropriate number of months for the training of our pilots, uh, we will work so that these people are as much as possible, as soon as possible, educated people, i mean experienced people with a lot of experience, in order to shorten the training process and to they appeared because of the strengthening of our state, especially the strengthening of the r-defense, i cannot tell you now how many

planes we will manage to get, i cannot tell you exactly when it will be, we will speed it up, because it is important for us, we lose people every day, mr. colonel, the president cannot name how many planes we can get. and you, i think, can say what our need is for these planes, that is, what is the optimal number for ukraine in order to fulfill the tasks that are now facing us on the eastern , in particular, and southern fronts. the nominal figure depends on the possibility of the system of providing these aircraft when the ratio of the price of the service to the quality of the performance of combat tasks is correlated here is the nominal figure of 40 machines of 40 aircraft is somewhere m

-m brigade of three out of three squadrons, that is, each of them put together 12 planes, you were looking for 36 planes plus a control bell, 4 planes, that's 40 planes, it's convenient , eh, to operate one eh technique with the operational honor of one team of engineers, that's the most nominal value and here eh it makes less sense for service, that is, flight time will be very expensive if there are less than 40 planes . well, we need five eh brigades, 200 planes. of these machines, but to carry out the combat tasks of one breakthrough, that is, to maintain one breakthrough on the azot coast, let's allow a general direction to luhansk, there to armyansk, and one

e-e brigade is enough, that is, forty machines, therefore, i think we will get at least forty machines, well, if possible, the optimal option for carrying out, let’s say two, three breakthroughs, it’s with one primary, two secondary ones , it’s always roughly calculated like this, we need about eighty to 120 machines, well, at least 40, we should get something similar, according to the colonel, that the main question that arises when transferring of f16 planes in ukraine by western partners because the manufacturer is the united states of america well , other countries can export these planes to ukraine if washington allows it, this is a question of whether ukraine will use it these planes in order to penetrate the geographical territory of the russian federation. let's say that biden in hiroshima said that he received an assurance from zelensky that these planes would not be used

to attack the territory of the russian federation. how was it and what did wyden say ? let's see and hear. i have an assurance from zelenskyi that they will not use the 16th to enter the geographical territory of russia, but where there are russian troops in the territory of ukraine , they will be able to do it, thank you very much. well, this is interesting the moment that the national security adviser to the president of the united states of america, jake sullivan, said that the united states of america would not object to the use of its weapons by kyiv to strike crimea , because crimea, according to jake sullivan, is the territory of ukraine, today a message from the deputy minister of foreign affairs of the russian federation appeared

ryabkova's prose of the russian federation regarding the strikes on crimea crimea is part of the russian federation, the threats and statements of the united states of america are irresponsible, the russian federation will find a way to prevent the implementation of threats of possible strikes against crimea, i don’t quite understand that the russians still fear that the f-16 with the appearance of the f-16 will simply solve the crimea issue much faster than they imagined, right, mr. colonel and yes, biden confirmed it the transfer can be said to have already confirmed the transfer of future f16s and some restrictions that our partners are asking us to fulfill , we

will definitely fulfill them. respect the relations of our partners and we will definitely support them, but we also use unnecessary ones on the territory of russia and enter the territory of russia, since we are not russians, we do not need someone else's, we will not give ours, but we will not take someone else 's these machines are on the territory of ukraine, on the territory of occupied ukraine, and as biden said the region is very important. actions, this is the black sea, this is the black sea, they paid for this aircraft, which also moves on the black sea, because this is enough to carry out the combat tasks of liberating our territories crimea - this is one of the first tasks of liberating, since it is crimea that is for us a big problem while the russian

troops are there, it is impossible to attack the donbass, they can withdraw from crimea, they will repeat the same operation as they repeated last year , when our forces entered the style later, this is definitely crimea will be the first to be liberated, after the cleansing of crimea, the operation to liberate donbass will begin already , the aircraft will be successfully used to liberate crimea , and the use of aircraft will greatly reduce structural losses, losses in buildings and in crimea itself, as the aviation uses high-precision weapons, and there are about a hundred military objects that will be destroyed with the help of aviation very quickly military objects of the russian federation well, then the ground troops

that will enter the territory of crimea to they will clear krym from the russians, russia will not be destroyed with weapons, russians without weapons will be deported in accordance with international norms, it is obvious to the colonel that we are talking not only about that part of the infrastructure that is located on the peninsula, but also on the sea, because it is clear that there 60-70 ships and boats, this is approximately the grouping of the number of ships and boats of the black sea fleet of the russian federation, some of them are based in sevastopol, which is home, and some are in novorossiysk . and what will happen after using f16 relatively speaking, in the sea and in the places where the black sea fleet is based, that is, they will be forced to simply withdraw to the territory of the russian federation, the territorial waters of the russian federation into the new russian, that is, the black sea fleet will be displaced in this case, er, sailors and pilots call the black sea a diminutive-derogatory rukomoynikov well that

is based on those er spaces of range that can afford ships and ships and planes fly with the help of aviation will destroy any surface ship well, with the help of some types of weapons and underwater ships, then, based on military necessity , the best option for the russians is to leave the black sea , go to the mediterranean and cross to other countries if turkey allows them, that is, the exit, and in the second case, they they will be trapped, let's say, in the bays of novorossiysk and destroyed there by drones that will reach them and in novorossiysk , including later

the black sea is in the 16th. it is the same plane that can carry almost 70-80% of the armed forces of nato countries, and there is a very large range of a couple dozen missiles , namely anti -ship missiles, which are practically impossible. the bottom of the moscow cruiser is similar in the same mode, only with an air component, all the other ships of the black sea fleet can be sunk, and what about the number of missiles, well, two or three per board, that is , somewhere up to 200 missiles, 200 missiles is small the figure is 200 missiles and there is no black sea fleet . then i think some decisions will be made by the russian black sea fleet to withdraw from the black sea and we will achieve this in the course of time

. the bases of the black sea fleet in crimea, they will be hit mainly by either guided air-to-ground missiles or guided glide bombs. and this is very powerful, that is, semi-thin, which will blow up, again, two or three booms controlled will be enough to disable any bay, but 150 objects in crimea, this is also about 3-5 air bombs each, and these 150 objects are somewhere more than 1000 air bombs, but this is not a big problem. enough even the same fact 500 only not controlled but free-falling but by self-propelled guns that have now been handed over to us by the jeds , uh , sovies, uh

these bombs are very cheap and very quick to destroy russian military objects in crimea and very jewelry, you would have said that, mr. colonel, they told us that such planes could appear in our skies in 3-4 months, it is clear that the infrastructure there is necessary for the maintenance of these planes is understandable, but at the same time, british intelligence says that russia is creating an elite air group to participate in the war against ukraine, according to the assumption of british intelligence, russia is creating a new summer strike aviation group under the code name storm to participate in the war against ukraine, we are talking about one squadron of su-24 and su-34 fighter bombers, as well as a squadron of attack helicopters , it is obvious that about 3-4 months before the delivery of the f16 on the territory of ukraine and the use by ukrainian pilots will be quite critical for

the ukrainian side because the russians will increase the pressure and we can see how during the last month or a half they are actively trying to strike peaceful conditions in kyiv and create tension inside what does it mean for the ukrainian state to create a squadron of su-24 and su-34 fighter-bombers? is this exclusively front-line history , that is, at the front, will they use or will they be able or have the opportunity to strike on the territory of ukraine and in such a way that our air defense does not shoot down these planes are front-line bombers, that’s right, that is , they work along the front line at a range of the combat radius of those weapons that cannot carry eh based on the nomenclature of weapons that are in

the russians have a range of up to 70 km and guided missiles and gliding air bombs that have not been used recently and the boar, that is, a collected air bomb , including, that is, to a depth of 70 km, they can hit the military it is not important any objects eh to a depth of 70 km but from the launch point it is very important that is eh you need to approach them in order to drop you a bomb to a depth of 70 km on our unoccupied territory you need to approach eh to the front line a that's exactly what the russians don't know about our anti-aircraft defense they allow that is we shot down a su-34 from odinsu 34 on enakievo su-34 su-35 trimyvochnyh ekhterku shot down above the nails this is already bryansk region today shot down a su-35 on the approach

to e-e in the zheleznoi port area on the way out of the black of the sea to mainland ukraine, demand, we knock it down in our country, the range of the conjugation is now, er, those funds that were transferred to us up to 150 km, later, er, there is the possibility that no exits for any kind of assault bath were created, not one, not the second, not the third. it is simply not he will go to the front line no matter what they will be dropped, we will destroy them with the help of anti-aircraft missile systems that are now being transferred to us just for this purpose , while we do not have f16, but after the appearance of f16, it will already be eh that the range of the combat radius of f16 and i repeat the minimum 500 km here they are closer to five hundred kilometers, pigs will not come against it, they know very well, because these two herdsmen who do not create stories of suicide bombers will not make

two combat sorties each and will remain forever in the black soil of ukraine if not for the policemen. they will take the bodies around the country later no there are no problems for our system pro you have already mentioned this story with the planes that were shot down over the bryansk region there were also three helicopters that accompanied it this was last saturday not the day before last saturday, may 13 to be exact and then a lot there were discussions about what happened . i understand that our weapons that are currently in service, forgive me for this tautology, the ukrainian army allows the u.s. to see these targets not only at a distance of up to 100 km deep into russia you see to impress er or is this the first and why according to your then different perimeter of the border

such a weapon is not used we don’t have these batteries now, later it is possible to use the patriots, let’s drink and use t eh-e understand which eh-e positions the same for sanctions if there are rockets im 120 e no and bc or di let’s allow with more and dalnostyu eh-e that is to use these e-e complexes are point-like in the so-called rocket mode ambushes, or in another way, that shooting at a skid is called, that is, when we understand the route uh and the exit of the russian planes to the point of dropping the air bomb and we simply catch them . it does not turn on until it appears at a certain

distance, this is what was demonstrated a little before the third of march, on march 12, they shot down a su-34, not such a content, the missile regiment turned off something, yes, the president awarded them just for this operation, they pulled the s-300 to the front line, they turned it on only when the essence and the fourth reached the reset point uh somewhere in 15 seconds, the unit launched the locator, and 2015-20 seconds, and the missile flew for half a minute, and bortonet was destroyed in approximately the same mode. on may 13 , when they asked me on saturday, when they asked me , obviously, to reset the corrected air bombs su-34th aircraft carrier is an air group that covers itself , that is, there are two sides, not eight

, for the sake of electronic warfare, they go to a certain waiting area, it begins to hand over electronic delivery for the means of defeat. su-34 exits the zone open su-35, here 34 is a so-called womb bomb, that is, it carries up to 12 air bombs of 500 each and it is covered by 135 fighter jets as an anti-aircraft defense system, that is, it covers the whole shelf, at that moment it turned on when they have already reached the reset line. at this moment, most likely the patriot turned on because cnn later confirmed that it was precisely the patriot that shot down the su-34. most likely , this is this . this is this. 150 km later, and there the distance to the border is somewhere up to 70 km in the area of ​​klintsov, that is, it does not matter how he approached the border 10-20 50

km ahead. in the area there plus or minus 20 km well, and further on the fifth board we are the 8th - this according to the protocol of the search and rescue service, we see this pss according to the rescue service e-e took off after the first flight fell in order to pick up e-e bodies the name of the place of the catastrophe and its name are also eh destroyed petrio, that is, they were from one battery with several launchers, five ships were destroyed at once , this is the mode in which we will protect our advancing troops, therefore not one squadron it will come to the point of a breakthrough for the advancing ukrainian troops, mr. colonel. over the past few days, there have been a lot of statements about what is happening in bakhmut. joe biden, who was in hiroshima for a meeting with the leaders

of the g7, said that the loss of troops the russian federation under bakhmut is estimated at more than 100,000 soldiers and in a significantly destroyed place, as he said, we will hear biden. for example, bakhmut, the question is whether it was lost or not. and the truth is that more than 100 thousand russians lost in bakhmut, it is very difficult to compensate because there will be or are whether or not there are troops in bakhmut, this devastated city, there is not much left. this fact, the russian troops, including wagner's group, were able

to close everything, so, colonel, let's put the dots above and beyond bakhmut, and especially regarding the latest statements this weekend. has bakhmut fulfilled his mission or is he still fulfilling it, and how should we react to the statements , including those of russian propaganda channels, which are quite active in saying that we have already reached the border of the city in the direction of the temporal ravine and have to fully under control, this destroyed city and zelenskyi compares this city with hiroshima, probably. it is much worse there , because there was a nuclear explosion in hiroshima. well , they just destroyed the city's artillery and various types of weapons. i compared the fighting force to stalingrad. the continuation
