is unknown, help to find our destination his mother asked him, i talked to the woman and she told me some details about the circumstances of her son's disappearance. nikolaev, the fifth and tenth victory, they both disappeared, the telephone was turned off, where they are is unknown, the mother told me that during the last year her son lived with his father, and the woman herself moved from mykolaiv to odesa for work, everything was ok . he suddenly broke into school i went to online classes оцены мне класно

руководительский yes everything was normal from the fifth opa, in the end their phones are turned off, it is impossible to call them, neighbors, relatives and acquaintances have no idea where the father disappeared together with his son, the mother of the boy says that she can’t even imagine where her son could have disappeared, but she is convinced that he is in ukraine, they had no opportunity to officially leave ukraine, since all the documents, the birth certificate and the passport , the trust is with me and the ex-husband he cannot legally leave the borders of ukraine, as he is conscripted, so i really hope that they are currently in the territory controlled by ukraine, the history of ukraine, they lived in good health, and my son. how can he return to me as soon as possible in mykolaiv, the father and tamir lived on the street of the well. of course , the boy 's mother came there immediately

. i really appreciate your help the mother is calculating to the extent, she appeals to each of you to help her in the search. i am very worried about what is happening to my child right now, what is his emotional state, is he alive, is he alive, everything is in abundance in connection with him from 5-10, i do not know where he is. delay and immediately inform us and once again please carefully look at the photo of the boy

the world like? what in the world will yury fizer tell us for two hours to stay up to date with economic news, oleksandr marchenko said. he tells us about the economy during the war and new sports. there is some optimism for us, madam natalka didenko is ready to tell us, and we will also have a distinguished guest of the studio today, if everything goes well, the events of the day in two hours, vasyl zimi's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people in the evening, nay espresso. greetings, dear viewers of the espresso tv channel, the studio program, the event, we will analyze the most important events of this week

. 16 is also on our air will work markfegin, a member of the russian opposition, our current guest, peter greenburgh, an american military pilot, volunteer and military instructor, i congratulate you, dear mr. peter, thank you for the invitation, i am very pleased with how much the f16 can change the situation on the battlefield. well, i would just like to ask you to tell me what you are with yourself, as a person who has spent hundreds of hours on f-16 planes, the good news is that the f-16 is a very successful system , they have been used for a long time, they are well assembled and many countries use them it is important to understand that this is more than just an airplane than just a physical shell, you know, the wings, the engine, these things are part of a larger system, it includes sensors, weapons, radars, and even more important, the entire system that supports the 16, including the intelligence surveillance system, which itself includes a lot of things. i think that the main thing for the f-16 is when they will work successfully in ukraine is that they will in a certain way add to the defense of ukraine, they will protect both the urban

infrastructure and the civilian population, and i i think they will help ukrainian soldiers on the battlefield f16 is not magic it is a mechanical system an electronic system and it is a machine controlled by a person and although it has been well updated over the years and in some cases has very modern advanced technology it is still of the same generation as russian planes and in fact even older generation than the latest russian surface to air missiles it would be naive to think that f-16 even a significant number of them can just swoop in and then clear everything of enemy ground missiles air and clear the sky from enemy aircraft so this is a very complex and difficult problem to solve which the western troops nato troops have spent huge sums of money efforts tactics weapons and technologies not all of these technologies will arrive in ukraine this is the point it is quite likely that a small number of f16 will arrive in ukraine to begin with pilots by definition will be newbies on their planes so i would expect a very gradual and unfortunately very slow integration of the f-16 the overall system

the overall picture of the war to understand i do not know this paintings it is possible i think her many people are very closely monitoring the situation on the ground and of course the ukrainians monitor the defense of their nation from air attacks but in fact you know the details of where the enemy systems are and what their capabilities are i don't know these details so i have very limited knowledge of the situation what can i tell you so this is what it would be a mistake to assume that the f-16 will be used by the ukrainian military in the same way as they would be used by the western military and i believe that for many people this was one of

the wrong assumptions of people in the west and also here in ukraine if the f16 can't solve this problem then we supposedly don't need it or it won't be useful but it doesn't end like that f 16 will be an addition to the military efforts that are already taking place therefore now ukrainian pilots are boldly flying the planes they have and doing an incredible job with them thus giving them more advanced tools and more perfect only increases the opportunities they have for example f16 can have a huge impact on the battlefield even without approaching the battlefield because the west has invested heavily in precision long range weapons and these weapons have been improved even after i stopped flying more than five years ago so the idea that the f-16s are just going to swoop in and solve all the problems is nice but it's false what we know so it's that this is good news for ukraine and very bad news for russia the use of the f16 will hinder the enemy in his work i agree the russians are not just going to war against ukraine they are killing our civilians they are attacking on civilian objects, this is another

war crime on the part of the russians because they know on what coordinates they work on the other hand . it's not like saying in boxing gives boxers it

the opponent gives the appropriate conditions of the environment, the rules of the judge and the understanding of the beginning and end, everything is not so fast , it is like a fight in a bar, where any techniques are used, there are no rules. i am sure from the fact that i know that many of the latest systems have already been integrated into the ukrainian defense and i am sure that the capabilities of the f-16 will be successfully used in the broader context of the defense of the nation. skills so when it is about the use of our ukrainian aviation during the first phase of a full-scale russian invasion, in your opinion, how long should it take to normally train a ukrainian pilot who, for example, previously worked on mig 29, this is all that is worth seeing, pilot training is difficult, first of all, it is necessary to understand that pilot training is only part of the problem , also the problems of supply logistics must be solved, and the technicians who repair aircraft must learn

to do this, this is a completely different aircraft system than and with which they are now familiar for the pilots, it is best to say that the training will last not weeks, but not years, but months. it will take several months to train the ukrainian mig-29 pilots so that they can fly the f and to master what i will tell them at 16. they will love this plane. it is easy to fly. it is extremely computerized and digitalized . there are supplies and other missiles of the storchadov type a special weapon and i will tell you, i don't know the details of how it was possible to integrate this weapon now, but it is definitely much more difficult to use and was able to 29 smart weapons have their own requirements, first of all, they need more information, because that's why they are smart almost the same as you and i, so to get such a weapon in the right city at the right time at the right speed and in the right conditions and make all these things happen is very difficult on an aircraft that was not designed for this , many, many of these problems have already been solved on the f16

even the fact that f -16 is older than most of these weapons, all this is already integrated on the platform in electronics, what i can say for sure is that if the ukrainian pilots are already doing what they are doing and quite successfully, then they will do it even more successfully with new modern equipment. what do you think would be needed in ukraine to firmly say that we are now dominating the air in the south of ukraine or in the east of ukraine ? the gigantic resistance of the russian military is good for them the equipment their planes are not bad i mean they use good technologies and they have been working on their improvement for years i believe that they still lag behind western technologies but still i don't know how much it takes to gain dominance in the air but i know that the defense of ukraine will seriously gain on

the way to gaining dominance air superiority is extremely important for american or nato doctrine this is just part of how we conduct operations but if we see what ukraine has already done without having it air supremacy, you restrained the enemy and pushed him back in many places, this means that even without superiority in the air, locally or in a wider area, a lot can be done, for example, f16 can work quite far behind, they can defend the airspace of cities, this will not have a direct effect on the front line, but will have an indirect effect , the more f16 can defend cities and infrastructure, the more other systems can be used closer to the front line, this effect is adaptive, having

f16, ukrainians can successfully use other systems and will have the opportunity to move them to obtain a greater effect, we should also not forget about the long-range systems that have f16 eh, this is the weapon that ukraine already has, not even on the front line, but being outside the radio range of the enemy systems or aircraft, the latest fighters such as the f-16 have an intensive effect on the battlefield, i am not a soldier and do not understand ground operations, but i can say that there will be opportunities to destroy the fortifications, the defense line of the troops that have dug in put weapons in the ground that are now are struck with the help of both ukrainian and western weapons, the enemy will not feel safe. when ukraine gets the opportunity to actually deliver long-range strikes, at least the occupiers will either retreat or die. they will not be able to move forward, so they will most likely move back. i make promises and only say that the weapons that will become possible for use will destroy the army that has frozen in position

. but anyway, everything is decided by specific training on a combat vehicle and then psychological readiness for combat. i am impressed by what your pilots are doing now based on very old information about how ukrainian pilots acted years ago. in fact, now a lot of new tactics and weapons have appeared based on old knowledge. i can say that the main thing is that western aircraft provide the pilot with much more information and opportunities for autonomous actions , make it possible to conduct operations more freely and make decisions already in the air in real time which is not available now on those old planes simply because the pilot will have more information western military planes in the last 20 or 30 years their production and design has advanced tremendously the delivery of information to the pilot providing a complete picture of what is around him allows him to make the best decision in real time so the first problem may

be information overload but i am sure that they will learn not only to fly and use the f16 but also to operate it them in a way that will surprise western instructors, the ukrainian military shows every time that it is not only about accuracy and clarity, but about the possibilities of innovation and finding new ways of using new technologies and using old technologies. in this case, they will feel the difference as at 16. this is the quality of an old push-button phone. switch to a modern smartphone. it is computerized, digitized and made easy

to use. with two computer screens and also a display that can show everything that could potentially interest you allies and friendly planes enemy forces and means there is a lot that needs to be learned but i am sure that the ukrainian pilots will not be surprised by the western tactics and the way that nato uses in 16 but still there are many different ways to achieve the goal and i am sure that they will find them well if you were general eisenhower so in what way would you be able to appeal to the president bai days well in historical parallels to president roosevelt and you would have to voice your needs. that's what you would say dear mr. president, in order to do or achieve extremely specific results on the battlefield for - in particular, for example, in the south of our state in the south of ukraine, i need, i don't know, 50 or 100 f16, 20 patriot batteries and 150 storm shadow, or i don't know scalp missiles, and so on, roughly how do you estimate the number of this complex that could significantly change the situation on the battlefield, this is a great question for me to answer you

need the level of information and details that it has only the ukrainian genstadt fantasize them but the ukrainian reality shows a number of factors how difficult it is for you to defend yourself ukraine is a large european country and you are surrounded by enemy forces on three sides even in eastern moldova plus the black sea in the east, southeast and belarus in the north i mean that defense is an extremely difficult problem that we can sit here and discuss it for 500 plus days of a large-scale invasion this is exactly the capabilities that the ukrainian army has shown there is definitely such a list somewhere, and it can

only the general staff can tell you, but to know this you need to take into account a lot of information, not only information about the capabilities and numbers of the enemy, but also what are the ukrainian capabilities from the location and use of various systems, on the other hand, we hear a lot that they need airports, infrastructure and so on, but it should be remembered that western aircraft were already in ukraine in peacetime, military exercises were held in 2011 and 2009 , and then f16 and f-15 were here and worked from ukrainian airbases, so it is very complex not a question if i could advise the president simple the guy is an ordinary citizen i would say that the generals sent to ukraine everything that they ask for if ukraine the ukrainian government asks for something then the basic answer should be yes and then investigate whether there are possible reasons why no i don't know all the decisions that are made but in february 2022 i thought that they would need 16 i'm ready to go it took a little time to come true i could say for example what is needed for such a table and so on but i will say that a lot is needed to

get this plane into the air support is a lot of equipment that it is necessary to make sure that there are landing places and the location of these systems before they arrive in ukraine but i am also disappointed as many ukrainians that it has taken so much time to get the best weapons to defend their country . comes in one way or another to an anonymous ukrainian pilot or there, i don’t know, to the squadron commander, the combat task is, for example, to destroy a tank column under the military field, yes. accordingly, we understand that on the one hand our radars are working, the russian radars are working, the satellite tracking system is working, we understand that the air defense systems are already heated to the red color

. tasks when you look at the tactical problems of such an operation and that is to force the enemy to retreat properly and if you use infantry forces without air supremacy, then this is what you need to do if there are such opportunities, i can say how nato allies use air support if there is an opportunity and it is safe and not too close to their troops, then it also involves local control of the air space, because you need enough freedom of action to find such small mobile targets as tanks, this is not an easy and very difficult task even for such weapons the smaller and more mobile the target, the closer you need to get to it. if you use a weapon from a long distance, based on where the tanks were a few hours ago, they can simply be in another place. there are weapons that simply hit and explode. there are other options, but you need

to evaluate how to correctly solve these problems. such an operation can be performed in 16, but it may not be the best choice with a specific location. will be used in 16 things that we imagine are different even from what the pilots imagine based on the experience of participating in combat actions or on films of history books, i am sure that ukraine will use the f16 in such a way that it will definitely surprise us and this includes the correct use of aircraft and its way to the battlefield and appearing in the necessary place, but at the same time we understand that combat aviation is not only about attacks on the battlefield - it is also about the protection of civilian objects, so the russians regularly

they killed my fellow citizens with rockets with the help of their aviation, they took and killed ten lviv residents in one night, they took and killed several odessans or residents of mykolaiv, they use aviation to attack civilian objects and civilian cities . which they really use to hitting civilian infrastructure and committing war crimes are long-range weapons, in many cases they are not so accurate, we could talk about the accuracy of their use next to civilian objects, which in itself is already a crime in many cases

. against drones which are very difficult to defend due to the fact that they are small and slow, they are difficult to detect, like anything in this war, the new region does not solve all problems at once, when petriv arrived, many people said that well, all the patriots are here, so it will not be like that anymore. and of course, the new attacks were f16 will be an addition to this, as i said, it will provide more opportunities for air defense, even if the f16 will operate, let's say, only in the west of ukraine, where they will be able to feel freer. everything will give an opportunity

to move the ground air defense systems somewhere else protect other locations in general. what is happening in the so-called market of combat pilots, are there any bans in certain countries, for example, is there one or another, i don't know, a veteran of the iraq war - a citizen of the united states or great britain, he is 50 years old, we understand how to fly, he can fly, he knows how, but the ukrainian state would say listen, dear john, we need you. years, so of course there are many f16 pilots , we must not forget that the f-16 is a system that functions within the framework of a larger system, this is communication in real-time decision-making together with commanders, intelligence analysts, all these things must work together, and the simple presence of foreign pilots will not solve the problem, they can theoretically be from different countries and fly different versions of the f16, because there are many of them, they can know and use different tactics, even a group of f16 pilots still need training and training to use the aircraft in these conditions , another problem is that the training of pilots access to information also costs millions of dollars, so if you imagine that the nato pilot just got off the plane and would like to come, he simply does not have the right to do so due to certain conditions
