grateful to our viewers for their solidarity , indifference, and help. thank you to all the people who contributed to our common cause, the cause of our victory. welcome to the espresso channel today in the difficult conditions of the war, ukrainian enterprises are creating new models of weapons for our army, starting from mortars and ammunition for them to missile weapons, which looks especially relevant against the background of the statement by the president of ukraine about the need to increase own production and reports of successful testing of new missile systems with a range of up to 700 km. i would like to interpret this as really a noticeable progress in the implementation of the state missile program, but should we talk about these or other weapons projects in public? i think that without

excessive detailing after all it is worth what the statements of the president actually demonstrate from the nsdc factor, because it has an important informational component. as for the practical side, then our companies and public and private companies that have success in this field, as i see it, needs maximum support . so we will talk about the creation of weapons and the conditions for scaling up successful projects. channels espresso strives to highlight the most relevant trends in the field of security and defense, and now we are joined by vladyslav belbas, the general

director of the company ukrainian brontehnika p vladislav i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. good day, thank you for the invitation. thank you for what happened at our suggestion to tell a little about the activities of your company, and i will start with the fact that just a couple of days ago there was information that the ukrainian armored vehicles company resumed the production of mortars of various calibers and at the beginning of the year at least 600 different mortars were delivered by the security and defense forces. i would like you to tell our viewers why it is about resuming production , how long did it take, and what exactly samples of mortars, we can now talk thank you for the question i will probably answer i will say yes, not fully disclosing all the information regarding the organization of the geolocation production process and why was it restored because the company lost the production site and the site of the contractor in the

temporarily occupied territory because of this, we had to restore the production process at a different location, let's say, at another location, and changing the manufacturer, changing the contractors, according to the norms of the standards and requirements of the ministry of defense, we had to pass qualifying tests after that, that is, quality control by the customer is very strict, especially for mortars and as means of defeat, and we are talking about restoration because we have already produced them since 2018 and the mortar in 82 was put into service in 2018 and has proven itself well and has been used. by the way, it has been actively used since the 18th year

. the mp-120 aga mortar was put into service before the start of a full-scale invasion. therefore , its production was started. well, if it was organized from scratch, the military it's time when we talk about these additional tests, that is, it was necessary to confirm to confirm a certain, let's say, the quality of these three mortars, as understood by the caliber 60-82 and 120 km, and these new tests, they were shorter compared to those state tests, because we remember the story when 5,000 mines had to be fired under each mortar in order to prove the quality of each element of the mortar, how was it now , more than 5,000 mines eh ?

to work out the mortar's full resource for understanding its stability and endurance, as well as the formation of a set of spare parts for the so-called zpa qualification tests three-a little simpler thing is less voluminous tests but which involve the full scope of tests to confirm the declared characteristics and quality of products, that is, this time 5,000 mines were not fired, or is it significantly less than a few hundred? well, you said about whether it was more accurate to report that more than 600 were delivered to the defense forces mortars, this is within the framework of the state defense order. is this, relatively speaking , a volunteer project on the part of the company itself, which at its own expense made these deliveries at its own expense, such voluminous deliveries . unfortunately, we are unable to carry

out the delivery. law enforcement agencies for the state customer, including with the use of e-e volunteer funds of giant funds, therefore, the recipient of the equipment is the armed forces and other power units of the authorized state, and are there any reviews from the military themselves that received mortars for these first batches. i think that there are also 120 mm mortars . which ones are most needed by our military , what is the reaction? trainings are sent to the front end to the front and immediately start working

. of course, there are questions and breakdowns that arise , including warranty breakdowns or questions about operation, for example, this information that you took you took from the press release in which the instructions for operation were laid out, this is due to the fact that there are cases when untrained personnel were allowed to operate if they did not learn the necessary information about operation, so we put in open access a simple video instruction as to use a mortar to minimize the task of, let's say, damage to the products or their breakdown due to operating errors, but when we talk about the 120 mm mortar, your company has made certain improvements that make it impossible

double charging, there are other know-hows that should increase the operational combat capabilities of this mortar, but these improvements already have, let’s say, a certain result in terms of the effectiveness of their use on the battlefield , of course, we started our experimental design work with what er, let’s say so from duplicating the mechanism to prevent double charging of the soviet e-e mortar 2b11, and in the process of already state tests of the mortar, we significantly improved it, changed the composition of the e-e metal, changed its design, changed it several times we checked it by firing and came to the conclusion that the fuse that we created, developed and produced does not fail as often as, for example, the soviet ones, however , you can see about operation on

the internet unfortunately, firing with 102 caliber 120 mm mortars i do not say about our mortars and about the general use of mortars is carried out in most of the videos that i have seen from the battlefield , there is not a single video with a fuse, unfortunately, they are all used without fuses, that is, the level of our military has probably risen that they remember that we threw them into the negative. it must necessarily explode, and regarding the cooperation regarding the formation of the restoration of the production of mortars , how many ukrainian enterprises are involved in these projects? we have three contractors involved in the production of mortars, but it must be said that the contractors also involve their, let's say, suppliers of contractors, that is, one job creates

10-15 jobs in related enterprises even in related industries. and when we talk about price policy, now we have tried mortars abroad, too, there is price competition, if there is a government order, are our mortars or your mortars, will they withstand foreign deliveries, the question is interesting. thank you for such a question, it means that it is complex. if we talk about the company's production mortars , the company started production and development of mortars in 2018 with, let's say , new targeting, so the finished product had to be cheaper than similar ones imported products in order to have the possibility of supplies for the armed forces for the ministry of defense or other power customers and in this case if the results were achieved if taken for

comparison i will not name there in absolute numbers but the mortar is cheaper and 82 mm and 120 mm than foreign analogues in the same configuration, because, for example, a mortar without fuses without spare parts without wheels can cost completely different funds if it is in the same configuration and may be on par or perhaps a little more expensive than mortars with storage is 10-20 years old, that is, it is not freshly produced, and therefore it is completely competitive, and the price advantage , for example, in the 120th minometer is quite significant , it is somewhere around 20-30%, if you compare it with the tenders of 19-20. in the 21st year, er, and now, about er, well, with active combat operations and active

purchases , it was possible to lower this price from foreign suppliers a little, so there is a whole er price difference of about 15-29%. well, this is quite significant from the point of view of the expenditure of state funds, it is a lot, but in addition to mortars, your company supplies to of the armed forces and 60 mm shots. it was just recently that you established a partnership with foreign companies for the production of 120 mm mines, and a little more about this project , how long it took, how difficult it was to implement it, what volumes, relatively speaking , can be supplied to the armed forces, at least oriented what can i say, i'll probably start from the end, uh, this one is uh, hundreds of thousands , more than 100,000 uh, units per year, uh, regarding

the complexity of cooperation, well, look in a mortar shot, uh, joint production of various branches of metallurgy and chemistry and precise metalworking for blasters and capsules, etc. of course , it is not easy to establish such cooperation and it takes time to arrange a shot, a mortar shot , to test it, for quite a long time, our cooperation consists in let's say that in the execution of foreign partners those works that cannot be done either or will be done there in the near future due to the loading of production lines , therefore, foreign

cooperation is used precisely for this, and it should be noted that by 2022 year before the full-scale invasion of e-e ammunition in ukraine, ammunition was not produced in ukraine except for the 60-millimeter mines you mentioned earlier, and there were also e-e developments of 152-mm hyacin shots, but they did not complete the e-e tests. this is such a fact. and it should be noted that now the war is already active .

we can talk about the fact that you, in cooperation with foreign partners, have created , conditionally speaking, the first ukrainian mine of 120 mm caliber. here are these and other parameters that the military pays attention to. since we produced them, let's say so, in cooperation with a foreign partner, we used that documentation, let's say so, they were made with the use of their experience and from them, the registration nato test documents and so on, that's why it is there in detail

. there is also an element of safety, so there would be in detail i would not like to talk about it, but our production capabilities were also used , their experience of such serial production and testing and supply, that is, this mine fully meets the requirements of nato and all the requirements for this mine are taken into account from the point of view of the requirements of our the military therefore there was no need for tests, which i understood, but you are moving on, and the company has supplied the armed forces and promises to continue to supply exactly 122 mm caliber ammunition, this is high-explosive fragmentation ammunition for d-30 howitzers and self-propelled units of the clove type, this direction with ammunition 122

mm, how did it develop or is it similar to having mines of 120 mm, uh, a little, well, if you take it that way, it really looks like the way of cooperation with foreign partners, uh, in this case, it is similar, but these are other uh, partners of other productions and and the other cooperative the chain, but the principle is similar to the formation of, say , a ready-made shot from components according to our competences there , and here, too, it is necessary to note the difficulties that arise because, unfortunately, the production of gunpowder is very limited in europe, and it is there the main er criteria why er well in- the narrow bottleneck of production volumes of production for example 122 shots well that is

mine so far the shortage of gunpowder in europe there certain chemical elements now affects the fact that it is very difficult to agree on a timely if the production is on time, the prices will probably rise. what is happening in europe right now? with the production of ammunition for art systems for mortars, what is the situation there ? i think you are well aware of the large enough shortage, as i said, of powder mixtures, eh , of various, especially powder mixtures, eh. let's say so for the post-soviet hummingbirds e-e 122 and 152 e-e well, the workload of productions e-e production according to the european and western it is planned for years ahead and therefore e-e let's say

so get some components get into some elements for a shot, it is much more difficult to buy some components than there in the pre-war period , and on the one hand, on the other hand, we understand that the european union, as part of its e-e guarantors, as part of its programs to provide ukraine, actively provides domestic european manufacturers with orders for e- e basi e-e artillery caliber here we mentioned a clip 60 mm 120 mm for mortars 122 for arc systems is the company going to move there and further there 152-155 mm is it well in such business plans of yours enterprise, we are considering such a proposal, or rather

, what is the possibility . but we are facing the difficulties that i mentioned earlier, it is not so , it is simple, and there are also a number of technical issues. component technologies and so on. but for 152 mm , there is indeed a significant shortage of components and technologies. technologically, it is a little different from 122 mm. it requires different equipment for production, so there are difficulties that must be understood if they are in but of course, our strategy is the expansion of the product portfolio and development of vladyslav, but what kind of help is needed from the state in order for this scaling of production to really take place, and we are state and private companies, what would you like the most right now ? on the part of state structures or really produce more in

the majority and more nomenclature. well, my position has not changed for many years of working in this field . supply volumes require long-term contracts eh companies cannot produce products for minutes figuratively eh all the more there is ammunition if we are talking about ammunition which requires the presence of a production line that cannot stop eh melting line eh stamping and so on and so on and so on private manufacturers and i as a representative of the private
