[000:00:00;00] it was in the artillery that these were records, even compared to march of the 22nd year, when the russians suffered the greatest losses in general. but does this indicate that having partially approached the second line of russian defense , it will be easier for the ukrainian troops, it is currently believed that the occupiers built in the south three lines of defense, the first is directly on the line of battle, the second is also called the main line directly behind it, and the third, and to be more precise, the third covers key settlements for the occupiers in this video, which the western media published russian mines on the thermal imager screen at a time when the enemy intervenes and conducts fierce defensive actions in the area south of the fertile, respectively, in the southern regions, the rabinova ego of the engineering

saperna unit begins to create additional lines of defensive defensive structures south of these arenas, where fierce fighting is currently ongoing actions, they also continue to mine the territories in order, again , to slow down the ukrainian offensive as much as possible, the second factor that affects our southern counteroffensive front in the east there is also a hot august from luhansk region, an attempt of a russian offensive on kupyansk is underway, the maximum task for the russians is to create a line of defense on the eastern bank of the olkiv river. in the kupyan direction, up to 50,000 personnel , a huge component and armored vehicles.

of the tank army, it is by definition an elite component of the russian army , the active actions of the russians in the east are also aimed at withdrawing part of the ukrainian forces from the south. equipment from the counterattack. in this way, to break the pace of the counteroffensive, but this plan is currently not successful. it is not a failure either. unfortunately, we have to admit that they did not succeed , including because our command uh, i thought a lot about this moment, but you can play this game together, and the ukrainian kozyr has his own name, bakhmut, his value is that he forces the invaders to drag a lot there, and they are actually now very sorry that they captured him - because that

way it would be much easier for them to maneuver. and now they cannot allow the loss of this city purely for their symbolic and informational reasons, because for them it will be like a public defeat if we make interim results of the southern counteroffensive, it can be stated that success was achieved at the cost of incredible efforts and losses, and this hard work will continue for a long time. there are certain sentiments that we know that somewhere now we will fail the russians and actively start moving , as was the case in the kharkiv operation here. our task is to expand this bridgehead as much as possible e- different directions, in fact, well , unite them into a single line and start moving further from that, but after that, we will already have such active failures of the russians as there were , for example, in the kharkiv direction on constant ukrainian attacks on the logistical routes of the russian army and the methodical destruction of the military

power of the occupiers will also benefit the armed forces if they do not equip their soldiers with the appropriate amount of equipment, if they do not provide them with weapons, appropriate artillery and shells, then they can mobilize at least 10 million, but a few mechanized brigades will deal with them very quickly, because the success of the ukrainian counteroffensive is measured primarily by the destruction of the military potential of the occupying russian army, and precisely this the defense force of ukraine is methodically and inexorably engaged, and only then the inevitable collapse of this russian defense in the south from the coal miner and to vasylivka pavlo vasilov facts of the week ictv the only news again drama theater again russian bomb and again the death of civilians on the apple spas one of the most important holidays for

orthodox christians russian non people who show off their piety so ostentatiously launched a rocket in the center of chernihiv, aiming at a drama theater where an exhibition of ukrainian armor and a meeting of domestic developers took place obviously, the idea of ​​holding such an event in a city where russia is only 60 km from is not very good, to put it mildly, even though the organizers announced the exact time and place at the last moment, but apparently a russian spy quickly leaked the information of the curator , the drama theater building survived, but in the central square more than 140 people are currently known about seven dead in the city managed to turn on the siren, but there was no chance to intercept the russian death russia hit chernihiv with a ballistic missile that, unfortunately, can only shoot down the complex of petriv and sam, we don't have many of them, we believe that it is temporary, but there is another way to destroy the installations from which missiles are launched

together with the russian abomination that presses the buttons. and this is a task. officially allowed the data and the netherlands to transfer the american f-16 to ukraine, these two countries have under a hundred such aircraft, the first fighters will be transferred as soon as our pilots complete their training, here is president volodymyr zelenskyy inspects the legendary f-16. this is the netherlands, where the ukrainian president arrived this morning as part of a visit focused on the key art of fighter jets for ukraine to protect our people from russian terror . the first country in the program was sweden . the training program for ukrainian pilots has already started there, and they are also testing gripen fighters. this plane is the pride of swedish aviation and sweden could share it with ukraine

, zelensky joked at a joint press conference with the prime minister of ukraine of the country, ulf kristers has so far managed to agree on the production of swedish cv-90 combat vehicles in ukraine and an increase in the supply of artillery systems , the agreements in the netherlands , which were announced at a joint press conference with prime minister mark rutte, are another step towards strengthening air shield of ukraine, these are f 16 planes that we will use to get russian terrorists away from ukrainian cities and forces mark and i agreed that we can talk about the number of r16 which will be provided to ukraine after the training of f-16 pilots and engineers will certainly give new such energy of confidence new

motivation for both soldiers and civilians place to helpering today the netherlands has a total of 42 f-16 aircraft of which we need a few for training in denmark and later in romania because now language training is taking place and then the military phase will begin and then it will move to romania, all this fighting very quickly, we have to work on the infrastructure so that these planes can take off and sit down safely in ukraine at a military base, bemused president zelensky heard information from the commander of the netherlands air force about the technological features of the f16 and even climbed into the cockpit - after that he went to denmark , which today officially confirmed its readiness to transfer the f16 to ukraine directly to the airfield one of the military bases of the royal of the air force, the ukrainian delegation

was personally met by the prime minister of the country , mette frederikson, who announced the key news at a joint press conference against the background of legendary fighters. we today we announce that we will provide 19 f16 fighter jets to ukraine together with the netherlands. we are the first country that can make a serious unwavering commitment of our own to provide fighter jets and i hope other countries will follow this example. this is a very powerful support for us . we are already starting training missions together . girls who are studying and will work here with the f-16 and then they will work with the f-16 in our sky, i was happy to hear good words about our soldiers from colleagues

of about 70 aviation specialists from ukraine the prime minister of the country hopes that closer to the new year, the first six f16 aircraft will fly to ukraine next year . eight more fighters and then five more will be delivered. this is a powerful breakthrough agreement that will strengthen the air shield over ukraine. why is the f16 so important for our air defense at the expense of why it is a head better than the soviet migs, how an american plane will strengthen the ukrainian counteroffensive and ultimately help win this war, all the secrets of the combat falcon were revealed to our artem kuli by an american pilot who flew on this machine and knows it like the back of his hand

the us state of wisconsin on the f-16 begins a maneuver during military exercises, drops a 200 kg bomb on conditional enemy positions, they will soon perform their maneuvers in the 16th in ukrainian skies for more than a year, kyiv asked the western allies to hand over these fighters and now the matter has come to specifics in ukraine three or four squadrons are primarily needed, i.e. 40-50 aircraft, this is the calculation of the ukrainian military command, where does this figure come from, and what is the point of changing such a number of fighters. facts of the week asked those who directly it is known that on these fighters one of the most famous american pilots in 16 de hampton and ex-commander of the air force of great britain, greg bahvel, for decades of service in the army , they took part in many military operations, carried out combat sorties during the war in the persian gulf and kosovo, and therefore know almost everything about the f16 f16 fighting falcon

translated from english the fighting falcon is a symbol of fourth-generation aviation because it is in service with 25 countries of the world , the maximum speed is almost 2.5 thousand kilometers per hour, a combat radius of 550 km, it can gain height in vertical flight, it is equipped with a 20-millimeter gun capable of firing up to six thousand shots per minute, and it can use various classes of modern missiles capable of hitting both air and ground targets, according to many characteristics , this fighter surpasses even modern over maneuverable russian su-35 tells the american peninsula hampton usu-35 radar - this is 30 years old technology the f16 radar is much more advanced and gives you much more opportunities to shoot down targets at long distances, not just one, but many targets, as many targets as you have missiles, besides, in our planes, the pilots have a central computer and all sensors, all displays, avionics, weapons, everything

goes through the pilot. we wear special helmets that allow us to never look below the cockpit of the f16, most of the us military companies participated, the most famous of which is definitely operation desert storm, but what tasks can be prepared for them in ukraine, let's figure it out ukraine for now capable of shooting down up to 90% of russian missiles, the latest air defense systems, not even the samsairists, petri, and those who are actively transferring to ukraine, the allies cannot block all vital objects in ukraine, and just the f16 will complete this chain and close the gaps , the most interesting thing in the planes that they can get to those specific places and close any gaping holes so if you 're using systems like the patriot or your s300 or other systems and let's say one of those systems has to shut down because it's

under attack then f16 where i you opportunity close this gap so that there are actually no holes in your air defense network, however, if against drones and cruise missiles pooh 101 and caliber 16 shows itself brilliantly, then it will definitely not be able to overcome the ballistic daggers of iskander or s-300 on its own, but in this case it can become additional through the eyes of pto systems, when it is in the air, it has its own radar, and information from this radar can be transmitted to any of the systems and in the patriot and nasans and arrest and so on . do not enter they are afraid of being hit by anti-aircraft fire, but the occupiers seem to be performing some

ground maneuvers on the contact line under the cover of aviation, so one of the main tasks - 16 and the front will be the destruction of enemy attack aircraft, helicopters and other fighters, and in order to isolate the area of ​​hostilities from russian aviation, they will also be able to cover the advance of the ukrainian army on the ground, you usually fight together , one plane communicates and shares information with another. i would like to give you an example when one f-16 can fire weapons controlled by another f-16 through a data link through a connection and such techniques such tactics begin to extend your range and begin to make the picture much more confusing for the enemy for this in the arsenal of the combat falcon there are a number of air-to-air missiles, for example, an advanced medium-range amram missile that can reach targets at a distance of up to 160 km and, unlike the modernized soviet myths, the f16 can use it almost imperceptibly for enemy air defense, the use of the f-16 will

significantly expand the range of weapons capable of use the ukrainian air force, fighters can use high-precision aerial bombs, both guided and unguided, for example, smart bombs, jadem, which can hit targets with high precision, destroying armor or concrete bunkers, if we have an f16, then it can do both tactical tasks and tactical operational tactical tasks. close to the contact line - this is the impression of the technique, the impression of the crowding in the air defense systems, the rap systems, all the means will be very good at destroying both the 16th rockets, the method of using the f16 largely depends on its modifications, despite the fact that the plane was put into mass production back in 1978, it constantly underwent various upgrades, an additional plus is that everything inside is modular, so improving it is not

a problem, it is a lego constructor, for updating it is enough to replace only a certain block, the last version on which i flew in 2006, it had a block 60 modification and it was great. i mean color displays, great weapons , long-range fuel tanks, yes , there will be 3-4 squadrons to ukraine, that is, 40-50 aircraft, to this question, the former commander the air force of great britain says directly that everything depends on what tasks these fighters will be used for, i think, first of all, we need to be realistic, if we take this number as 40-50 fighters, it will not lead to the fact that ukraine will instantly dominate russia, this simply will not be enough for objective reasons there are still a lot of ground defense systems around on both sides so we 're talking about using the f-16 in the most intelligent way to create what i call local air superiority conditions

so instead of trying to dominate the along the entire border, you will try to use them where you choose f16 will change the course of the ukrainian counteroffensive each plane can carry four harm missiles to destroy enemy air defense systems clearing the way for other fighters and drones that will not miss the opportunity to strike at enemy positions, headquarters, arsenals this will help solve many problems with crimea bridge and restore order in the sea , drive away from the borders russian planes that are shelling the front-line territory. well , the key f16 will help our troops on earth to occupy ukrainian territories artem kulya ictv facts of the week, the only news, the third in a month, from july 30, this is the third

drone landing in moscow city, the business center of the occupiers, where the ministries are located, expensive apartments, the business of the invaders is conducted. for strikes on ukraine, at least two sides are damaged, and this despite the fact that the airfield is 650 km from our border, what about the arrow of laying routes for drones to detect russian air defense points special attention this week is attracted by an incredible fire in dagestan, which, according to local residents and experts, is directly related to the war in ukraine. in makhachkala there was an explosion of such force that five people were killed, a hundred were injured , 400 houses were damaged. no, it's not

a drone attack, but the story is just a detective story, according to the version of the russian investigation, the fire broke out in the premises of the car service, then spread to the nearby gas station, according to one version , saltpetre was stored there, and a local businessman i rented a room. well, it’s a great idea to keep explosive chemicals next to a gas station. but it’s interesting to see another photo and video footage of a giant gash that formed at the scene of the accident and the sound of a resident of the city of kaspiysk, which is close to makhachkala . they started writing on social media that it was very similar to the launch of rockets. and it must be said that it is from the caspian sea that russian bombers are shelling ukraine, perhaps one of the missiles turned out to be faulty and did not fly a bit. by the way, the video of the first seconds

after the explosion is quite similar to the place the fall of the rocket, part of the projectile could have provoked the detonation of chemicals, this is what local journalists who conducted their investigations write, and it is not devoid of meaning. let's remember the shelling of rostov or belgorod itself . do you remember how in april a russian su-24 accidentally dropped an aerial bomb on the streets of belgorod as if it were taken to ukraine and then already assures that everything is going according to plan. in the meantime , he is frantically looking for military and economic support. the first thing that sounded alarming in china this week was the visit of the head of the ministry of defense, heavenly li shanfu, to russia and his statements to belarus about the expansion of military cooperation were made against the background of the russian army forum 20-23, what is behind this, what real steps and interests were discussed by oksana dvoretska, the dangerous tour

of the chinese minister of defense this time, why did champu go to moscow and minsk ? met with putin and what does the chinese service gift to lukashenka symbolize? belarus is a disputed territory between russia and china . will this visit affect the war in ukraine ? is it beneficial for china and will beijing decide to escalate with the event of moscow, a delegation from third world countries arrives at a security forum organized by the kremlin , even some members of the csto refused to participate in it, but the arrival of the chinese defense minister seems to add solidity. and why did beijing send the head of its defense department to russia, obviously not at the international weapons exhibition organized by moscow, where the largest expositions were

from china and russia and india, but russian developments, such as an inflatable rubber chapel for the front or another replica of a chinese robot from the russians, it was hardly impressed, because even shoigu and the iron alyosha did not understand the exposition or the completion of his ego. there was a plastic weasel who praised soviet weapons as equipment even of soviet production . they are superior in their combat qualities to western models. against the background of statements that beijing, although the deepening of cooperation with the eu by the countries of the global south and the closest neighbors sounded a message for the united states - this is playing with fire and attempts

to control china with the help of taiwan will inevitably end in failure after such statements, lushan fu's visit to moscow and minsk began to be called a signal for washington, saying that china has undertaken to strengthen the anti- western coalition, i.e. to strengthen cooperation with russia and belarus, despite the shaky image of a neutral peacemaker to stop russian aggression in ukraine, which appeared after the all- uduvian arabia it is not necessary to understand that for china, e.e., peace is not the same for us, for us it is the liberation of our territory and, ideally , the defeat of russia, moreover, the final move and for for china, this is the end of the conflict and the preservation of the potential of russia as an ally of the people's republic of china in the confrontation with the united states of america. he did not speak publicly about the war in ukraine, and

it seems that the most interesting part of his visit took place. moscow is considering these hetmans with pyrological he could feel his cheeks in the kremlin and who , against the background of the endless appearance of putin's doppelgangers , manages him publicly with putin, the minister of defense he did not meet with china, instead of speaking at the security forum, he sent a video message, and experts do not rule out that some secret negotiations did take place, completely rule out that, in addition to the meeting of the club, there were some closed unofficial meetings that we do not know about, even with putin himself, to whom the chinese defense minister could simply send a message it is impossible to include xi jinping from everyone, and what was agreed behind those closed doors, because it was a visit by the minister of defense, so is china planning to help russia with weapons in order to fight the war on

attrition was not defeated in ukraine and how beijing is helping moscow right now china is a supplier it does not supply the weapons system there directly it seems it does not supply ammunition but what concerns private contractors what concerns the supply of drones what is simple concerns the supply of electronics including that which directly goes to the use of communication systems, it not only does not stop these technologies that, well, at least pass into the category of dual use, but even contributes to the increase in the volume of such water supply, beijing will immediately stop with such help, military cooperation between russia and china is actually at a fairly high level , they constantly conduct training, even joint sea and air patrols , state contracts in the military-industrial sphere are still valid, in particular, agreements on the production of a400 missile systems , k-52 helicopters and fighter jets in 135, for

which chinese components are supplied for the purchase of russian weapons, li shanfu himself has been under american sanctions for 5 years. and under free russia in ukraine, china is not easy observes and thus looks at russia as a mirror necessary for preparing for the great war against, well, in general, in the pacific ocean , the pacific region, against taiwan, against the usa and others . in china , they are actually, unlike the russians, how better is the island of electronic warfare, how to improve the use of drones, and they look at how the russians fight incorrectly and think that they will now fight primarily against the background of a not too ostentatious reception in moscow, in minsk lukashenko arranged everything for the chinese guest in the style of the father of the people with a magnificent reception and gifts of li shanfu , the proclaimed leader of belarus

presented a chinese samovar as if to suggest that he should drink chinese tea, not russian, this is an important souvenir, i will definitely show it at our porcelain factory, so that they did exactly the same as the chinese in belarus for and china , a somewhat disputed territory moscow may have already implemented its plan to absorb the neighboring dictatorship and beijing, it is more profitable to have it under its influence as a separate country alexander lukashenko in his time alexander lukashenko in his time when the russian ambassador in minsk actively organized the same thing that he and his colleagues did in crimea before the annexation lukashenko went to china and managed to complain to zimpin and as a result the ambassador was recalled most likely under pressure from china, i.e. they have here there is competition for belarus and china considers it as its zone of interests for china

belarus is profitable as a kind of outpost near borders of nato excellent position in beijing's anti-western coalition lukashenko understands well who is a strong guarantee of his rule , so salyubka demonstrates the role of a vassal of sisinpin , the minister of the main ideas of the current and future prospective peace settlement of the thai people's republic and belarus coincide absolutely china's defense was negotiated in minsk , perhaps it was about nuclear the weapons that russia transferred to belarus because beijing was against it, what signal could they send to lukashenka if they start pressuring you from the kremlin if on they will start pressuring you from the kremlin to do something about it, which means call us and we will deal with this problem. and if you suddenly want to arrange some story with them together with nuclear weapons, then next time we simply will not protect you until next time we simply will not you will be protected, the chinese guest

could have warned lukashenka against too sharp moves to help moscow, for example , with chinese weapons, belarus, which is not a missile complex, a polonaise is getting old, shooting 300 km , well, something similar to our heimers only between more far-reaching, but the nuance is that this is a chinese complex and it is obvious that if the first comrades were calm and clearly interested in not using this complex, as it is not beneficial to china, china itself in the near future is unlikely to be demonstrably helped by russia, because it does not like hasty steps and plans beijing is now completely different after the tour of moscow and minsk to introduce their own game in contrast to the leadership of the united states oksana dvoretska ictv facts of the week the only news said and done this week president volodymyr zelenskyi as promised
