[000:00:00;00] and the fight against kamikaze drones, they can also perform combat tasks to counter russian aircraft in the airspace of the temporarily occupied territories, e-e, these can also be e-e actions to destroy ground troops , because they have such an opportunity. they have a fairly wide range of air-class missiles surface, these are cruise missiles, and by the way , planning bombs that can have a distance of the value of objects from 100 to 500 km, and they also have a very interesting functionality that was not present in our other aircraft, it is a possibility implement anti-ship e measures. that is, it is the use of anti-ship missiles at a distance of up to 55 kilometers and more. so they can be used to destroy russian warships. alexander, you

mentioned the end of the current counteroffensive closer to november this year . this is due to weather conditions and actually what what happens then at the front during the winter period is it a static defense or how can you write these events, we remember last winter it was not static and the intensity of hostilities have not decreased and this is completely different information about the hostilities, and in some areas there may be a relatively operational pause, but the operational pause is not at the level of some kind of frost there, no, er, all the same, active hostilities will continue later or in a different direction, it all depends that's what the question is. everything depends on the exact stage at which this offensive will be completed

. we all understand that it must be completed one way or another on the eve or directly at the beginning of the winter period. but what will be the gains, according to the gains, it is possible to predict what the further events will be. during this winter period, information appeared in the western media that the united states will use this time to improve the armament of ukraine . but it is clear that this time will also be use by russia to replenish its stocks of ammunition and projectiles, in your opinion , as much as the military defense complex of russia will be able to. this is during this period of conditional calm. if you can say so during the period of non-conduct of active offensive actions on the part of ukraine to renew their reserves, well, they will not be able to jump above their heads, this is the main thing, and the task of the force defense of ukraine for this period, eh, its intensity or the launching of strikes and the introduction of hostilities, do not give russia the opportunity to accumulate some

rice. we see a situation when the russians cannot fully compensate for their losses in the war zone. for example , if they do not lose 600 e-e units of barrel artillery per month, then we have their military-industrial complex it is possible to restore the preservation, deconcentrate and send approximately 300 units to the combat zone on average. therefore , there is almost 50% of monthly compensation of the required amount of artillery and so on, and according to other indicators, there is special equipment against air defense, it is not so missile complexes, road transport and other and therefore, if we keep the destruction of russian equipment at a sufficiently high level , including with the help of western weapons of high-precision and long-range anti-aircraft, then the russians will be able to fully accumulate anti-aircraft

resources for the winter period, let's go back to the planes, here's a secret that , in addition to the political and context of this decision , there is also the interest of the netherlands in updating its own aircraft fleet with more modern fighters, and here it is about what they have in order to transfer the f16 to ukraine receive f-e fifth generation f-35 fighters and that this should be synchronized in general and what are the risks that this process may slow down precisely because of the inability of denmark to the netherlands to quickly receive f-35, we already see that we have prospects of receiving the corresponding number of aircraft will be delivered in the 23rd year in the 24th and 25th. that is, we see three stages and the three stages will be synchronized with the delivery of the f-35 , for example, but still, the transfer of

fighters to ukraine, respectively, will take place faster than these countries will receive in exchange for them some other samples , for example, the same as in 35 well, the head of these countries understands very well, namely, the system of such exchange, that is, did i understand you correctly, that the transfer plan, the schedule, let's say, the transfer of weapons to ukraine does not depend on of how fast uh those countries that give fighters to ukraine receive fighters of the next generation, it does not depend on the direction, ukrainian pilots are already training on gripen fighters, but sweden has no plans to transfer these fighters , the prime minister of that country declares. how do you assess such prospects ? ukraine , well, do they have a plan or not, today they don’t have it tomorrow they will squeeze us out, we understand it for example, what

happened with the leopard tanks and two, then in germany there is no desire to hand over these tanks to us later ozerka reports that the patriots also said that we will not receive them, we received them less than a year after making a request, and therefore, everything changes if there is a need for these fighters, so i do not rule out that we really can receive them, but for now we can talk about the gripen will be the second type of fighter, only we will get it too early, although the training of the crews is quite rational because the fortifications and their general architecture is very similar to the general architecture of western fighters. therefore, this is a kind of basic training of pilots before if they will even will be replanted and f16 well, they will already be familiar with some basic

functionality of western levelers oleksandr and as for the other help that became known about from sweden if you evaluated it how useful and necessary it is at this stage of the hostilities, i will generalize the help from sweden, we we are getting a lot of help from 2022, this is air defense, and these are tanks, the same leopards, swedish modifications, and cd-90 bmps are one of the best bmps in the world today. and besides, we see that these all 90 there are plans to produce e on the territory of ukraine. i understand that this production will already take place when the war is over. that's when we will need to replenish the fleet of our infantry fighting vehicles . therefore, that's enough by the way. actually, i know that

the information resistance is carefully monitored in the same way as how they react for various military aid, and in the russian federation , what is currently being said about the kremlin media, there are still official statements before ukraine receives the f-16 well , mostly now they are trying to dissuade russian propaganda from somehow threatening the 16 well as it has always happened and they also tried to create a threat from that tanks from er m-142kmers vito even bmp bradley they say it is er worthless bmp which is very easily destroyed but we see that it is precisely the bmw that holds not only a shot from a tank, but there are also detonations on mines and at the same time it is hit - this is an anti-tank missile, while the crew and the landing party survive, what about bmp-2 bmp-1 well, it does not happen at all if there were the same

impressions, and that is why they try first of all not to command and then of course , a wave starts when they tell which have no analogues in the world, there is a su-57 or there is a 135 and that in an aerial duel 15 cannot withstand against 135 well, in fact, the 135 is a fighter of a completely different class. and here it was necessary to compare the m16 more to them 29 or mig 35 and on the other hand, uh, modern wars , and some kind of air pipe, like a duel, as many imagine in russia, but it doesn’t happen, everything happens hundreds of kilometers before they see each other directly, uh, directly, everything happens at great distances and wins the one who has higher technology and technical capabilities, well now what you mentioned is that ukraine can get the first planes at the end

of the 23rd year, how can the tactics or the strategy of the russian federation at the front change, how will it affect the planning of actions, so to speak first of all, they will start a hunt, they will start a hunt for these planes , they will try to strike the airfield at the places of deployment, these are the following so, hmm , we need to be ready for this. of the first moment, and secondly, it can really affect how the russians are now betting on the use of a large number of front-line bombers a super-34 and gliders, as well as aircraft in general that can carry fab 250 fab 500 bombs, and which are converted to gliders and precisely uh, in this way, without entering the area of ​​our air defense, uh, they try to strike at the positions of our units

, this slows down our combat operations, our advances. modifications from the distance of destruction of objects up to 100 km or even 100 km plus, for example, as the aim 120 dia, and in fact, with this, we will be able to destroy the russian anti -aircraft even on the approach to the location from which they launch their bombs, and this will significantly replace uh, really, the balance of the airspace, i still wanted to ask you to comment on the information that the british intelligence released today , they reported that russia is creating a new military formation, the 18th combined army, so it is called that it will be probably focused on defensive operations in the south of ukraine. well, instead, more experienced units will be released to fight in key directions . it sounded like this

. does this mean that the south has ceased to be so important for the kremlin ? well, they currently have serious problems in the zaporizhzhia region, they are really trying to strengthen this bridgehead at the expense of the strategic reserve. and this is all due to a lack of resources, they are not critical there are enough resources to deter even offensive actions, and here is an interesting question : did they start this formation, will they make it before our offensive ends? of the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula so that it can defend itself there along the lines of defense that they dug and acquired there. and i do not rule out

even this option. i mean human resources or in general the military service and technical as well as technical also because if you compare the capabilities according to the staffing of the units, then the best situation with the staffing in them, as it is not surprising, is the group of troops west and the group sharp center , and this is the temporarily occupied luhansk region the direction in which the kupyansk troops are now trying to carry out offensive actions. and all the other bridgeheads have a much worse picture with full-time equipment. the worst situation is in the left bank kherson region in the dnieper dnieper group and this is the mobilization that they predict will start in russia from september 10. what are the reserves? will it be able to cover the human reserves for the russian army ? last year, they already gathered

300,000 personnel, and here is the question: what is the result? of this mobilization, and they say that this mobilization will be focused on offensive actions . okay, well, if offensive actions, then last year they collected 300,000 when they were able to attack. in the direction of baknut of a small town, it is not even a big offensive, it is a close direction, it is always difficult , somewhere around 20 km, so this is all that they managed to do in 10 months. from the beginning of the offensive on bakhmut, in other directions. no , they could not even provide defense elsewhere during the period when they started their partial mobilization, they lost control over the right-bank kherson region and most of the kharkiv region, and i am not sure that this is their mobilization for

offensive actions, rather in order to to prolong the war in a defensive format, they cannot fully maintain the defense, we already see it , but they can still prolong the war, they have started well oleksandr, thank you very much for joining the broadcast, oleksandr kovalenko, military-political review groups, informational resistance, thank you well, while ukraine is waiting for the f16 military pilots are forced to perform combat missions on old soviet helicopters, ukrainian pilots fighting in the east of the country say that russia has a clear advantage over it in the sky, but the implementation modern fighter jets from the west can radically change the imbalance, well, in general, the pilaf is already here agricol, come here, we go

to small high-rises and approach very quickly , that is, in literally half an hour, we can approach any target , when approaching the target, we very often constantly collide with the fact that their aviation responds and covers their troops, if we have an f16, then we will walk freely and their

troops will be in a loop, that is, the planes will move away from us , do not forget to subscribe to the youtube channel of radio liberty, like this broadcast and a reminder that you should not miss it tomorrow, so that as many viewers as possible will be able to see important boundaries. well, just now , oleg rybachuk, head of the center for joint deities, deputy prime minister of ukraine for european integration in 2005, is joining our broadcast. my greetings to oleg good evening, let's go. and why do you think that the netherlands was the first? it has to do with internal political processes , or rather with defense tasks. is it actually about political symbolism, but there are actually many factors here

nato countries do not have the experience of somehow unanimously participating and launching some kind of armed campaign, and in general, we and nato and the european union are forming such a kind of, well, not fragmented, but coalitions that unite countries those who believe in this or that goal often did it in the united states and there they drew their loyal allies to them, but some of the allies did not support or were passive there, but in this case it is just technically in the netherlands and the netherlands especially has 46 possibly more planes, which are all equal they were going to write them off, but they were already written off there, and it had to happen this

year, and that is why they made a completely logical decision , unlike, say, switzerland, from which ukraine asked for weapons, but it simply destroyed the weapons here, and did not give them to ukraine, and there are different factors here are working, and ukrainian diplomacy is also working quite effectively , because there is a certain competition among european leaders , who is more effective, who is the first to support ukraine, who will take the next step , something drawn in putin's sick imagination we have a red line here in the leaders of britain and sometimes france there, in particular, on the issue of tanks, and they took these first steps. therefore , on the one hand, this speaks of the lack of a single firm position on the issues of how to support ukraine, and the main problem is, of course, the united states. because if the united states

the states have made it your task to win the victory of ukraine , to do everything possible for the victory of ukraine, so we did not see these problems. the goal is to achieve the unconditional victory of ukraine in the war with russia, they say it differently that they will not allow ukraine or they will not allow russia to defeat ukraine and in this way they simply prolong the process and the europeans usually look at it and react differently to the need er provide weapons and already make decisions often based on these some internal problems and what is the interest of the united states in prolonging the process good good painful question so look er this is not the same as curiosity

and they have not reached such a er unanimous vision what they want to achieve in the war with russia because they. well, in other words, some of them, especially in the white house , the sullivans, a representative of this group, believe that russia cannot be developed, there is no need to develop it, and it is necessary to weaken it as much as possible , but to leave the same borders as yesterday mine sang this song again what uh. do not set the task of changing putin's regime, which is very strange to me, because if we are talking about the fact that the democratic world requires prosecution , putin is a war criminal. his regime is war criminals somehow, i can’t imagine how it is possible without changing putin’s regime to bring him and his leadership to justice and there are quite

a lot of such contradictions, but there is also the election factor. it is obvious that there is an election factor, and therefore some who are planning a biden campaign there would like to somewhere in the summer, elections in the fall so that somewhere in the summer, ukraine will wake up significantly and it will be possible to show the effectiveness of the batian foreign policy, because in ukraine, foreign policy is global, it is central, but here it is a very dangerous game, the ice is very thin and it is not known how you can hope to do so, you can scan in such a way as not to finish off putin enough, and at the same time to achieve some important foreign policy result, this is an illusion , it is possible to control the events in russia by american presidents, this is very strange , now the only chance to influence russia - it is simply not a heavy military

defeat to inflict it, but this is exactly what many in the white house are trying to avoid, and the second question is the disintegration of russia , but we are talking about the disintegration of russia, and it seems to us that the biggest problem in the disintegration of russia is that there are nuclear weapons, but in fact the americans have already understood that, in fact, we are talking about the fact that 90, almost 95% of the economic potential of these natural resources of the so-called european tas receives from other republics in those countries that will become er, independent and independent in this way, and what is called european russia is moscow , peter, cheers for this part, and for the first time in 400 years, they can be in a situation where there will be no asians doing any menial work

there will be no resources there, there is no high-tech potential. there is no outstanding move of the last one, this is only evidence of this, and therefore this option , when russia disintegrates and european russia remains, is simply evil, which certainly scares those who consider such the scenario is much more than that, the threat of nuclear weapons coming somewhere. that is, this is the problem. and they just don't want to think about it. they are trying to avoid it, how to avoid it, how they wanted to avoid the collapse of the soviet union, but let's go back to of the european continent, this is the example of the netherlands and denmark, whether other european countries will use it. it will depend on what exactly it will be, whether someone else is ready to provide ukraine in 16. well, we are working on this . process and then it is possible, but there are many strange things here, so ask yourself why

there did not give permission for the transfer of weapons, e.g. these f-16s, literally until the last month, which was a cyburik, and most of all, i just mad why couldn't our pilots there a year ago already take training courses to learn the english language? why did they only allow it now? it's a very strange situation . well, it's you, i understand why. because america does not set the goal of achieving victory this year, they must sing. during the elections, they need to somehow drag out the process. but is it a strange situation when some countries agree to give us weapons, and others, switzerland and germany, as machines were not given permission or from armaments, and all this continues, and of course these are things that, well, something needs to be done with them to do, this war showed that, in fact, the nato military-political alliance is not ready in many ways, and this is understandable because none

of the nato countries has ever waged a war of such a scale . these questions cannot be answered logically, they annoy the ukrainians to no end, and i do not think that our western partners are coming up with anything either, but ask yourself what the problem was in giving permission for the preparation, why was it not possible it was time to do it a year ago, why is it that every time the story itself is first given the equipment, then you have to study for six months, and on the contrary , it would be difficult to do it, what were the problems if our military mice were trained first - we are integrating into nato, in fact, all ukrainian military have to learn almost any type of nato equipment. i did not see any risks in this, because the goal is declared by nato, which says that we will be there. what are the problems with starting preparations already now, and only later, when the equipment arrives there, we

will already be ready for this? i think that we will we will come, but the price we pay for such things is high, but how serious do you think the restrictions on the use of these fighters can be, or can there be restrictions that are not related to strikes on the territory of the russian federation? well, here we need to clarify if we are talking about planes to us are asking that those planes do not sweep into the airspace of russia, but this does not mean at all that you remember when the patriots appeared there, when there were five or six helicopters and they wanted to be shot down by the russian approach to that on the territory is not on ukrainian territory and on the approach from the russian side, that is, if a er -e impression a-a strikes are made in the airspace of ukraine against planes that reach there from the russian side the radius of the impression from where there can

be up to 100 km 50-60 km then this is not a violation. well, of course, crimea is the crimean bridge, the kerch bridge, and all the occupied territories, it goes without saying, but to be honest, it’s hard to imagine that someone will run there with a ruler and a microscope and find out where the karabakh or war came from. is war, if there are russian batteries 30-40 km away and they are simply destroying ukrainian cities , in particular near kharkiv or near sub, then it is obvious that ukraine has every right to strike at the location of these batteries, it is obvious that we have the right to destroy airfields and shoot down russian planes on approach and not to wait for them to make their next justifications for the appearance of airplanes. it will simply make it possible to significantly increase efficiency and push

the russians away from our borders so that at least they cannot use ordinary artillery make our cities a nightmare, how are they doing it now, you mentioned crimea, the crimean bridge, and are there any disputes in the western political community regarding crimea, because you are talking about it , you mentioned earlier that everyone in the white house is not ready , including for the collapse of russia crimea is called such a moment for the kremlin and because of the military successes of the ukrainian army, in which the collapse of russia and the change of the regime in russia can be connected. of the occupied territory strike crimea. maybe someone somewhere out there would not want this to happen, but this topic is publicly closed, and american and nato spokesmen

emphasize that crimea is ukraine every time they give us weapons . b older there a year ago, but in the last six months we have struck so many strikes in different points of the crimea that, well, the sacred has disappeared, it no longer has any sacredness, and it is about whether we will be able to cut off all the logistical routes already during this offensive or this one in the spring, i.e. i think that the very fact that a-a practically a-a ukrainian armed forces show that there are no red lines, that crimea is ukraine and when those politicians who wanted to somehow deny it see no reaction from moscow obviously, they understand that this is far from a red line. it seems to me that in general the concept of a red line will disappear , including the possibility for ukraine to conduct military operations
