i want from the side of the state structure or really to produce more in infantry and more nomenclature. well, my position has been unchanged for many years of work in this field , eh, in order to have eh, in order to develop and have eh, the necessary volumes of supply are needed long-term contracts eh, companies cannot produce products in a wavelike manner eh, especially 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 private

manufacturers and i, as a representative of the private defense industry, we need a planned long-term order and it makes it possible for private manufacturers not to need , for the most part, unnecessary investments in fixed assets if we are talking about the production of operational products. when we produce something there quickly, then we stop, then we produce something quickly again, this is the main criterion if the enterprise will have not only ours, any enterprise from the field of a private pc will have a long-term order, it will organize any serial production without problems. thank you very much for the inclusion. for the work that your company does for our security and defense.

troops, mortars and shots to art systems of various calibers, and then we will talk about missile weapons, about the dynamics of this market , but this is already after the informational pause, so what in a few minutes i'm waiting for you for the continuation of our program a-a-a-a-a-a-a -a museum territory of terror jewish ghetto of lviv was transformed by the soviet occupiers into a prison with which the path went to the shaft a better example of symbiosis of two totalitarian regimes find the nazis created this geta to destroy the jewish population of the cities from this place there was only one way to the death camps

the bolsheviks used this experience to send their prisoners, their enemies of the people , to the death camps in golovy and today modern ukraine is attacking the regime that has become the heir of both of these totalitarian dictatorships of both of these human-hating practices the road to auschwitz the road to the goal leads to deer we continue our military program with which we talk about weapons technology and our defense industry and now we are joined by valentyn batrak director of the army research center conversion and disarmament

analytics writer mr. valentin, i congratulate you , i'm glad to see you. congratulations, mr. serhiy, i'm always happy to join and discuss these issues, so i'd like to start our conversation with the research that came out. on ukrinform, this research under your signature under the signature of academician gorbulin and the main question. there, the main motive is the search for an answer to the question of how to stop russia and where to move in ukraine, and there is such a quote that in order to influence the aggression of the putin regime, it is necessary to have obvious advantages in the supergrouping of the occupiers, and not so in terms of the number personnel, and what about the manufacturability of weapons, you are talking about this in the context of manufacturability, what is it about in more detail and can it be stated against the background of volodymyr zelenskyi’s statement about the testing of long-range systems at 700 km that

ukraine is finally starting to take such noticeable steps on the road to technological progress, well, we must start with the fact that we receive weapons through three channels: material and technical assistance from western countries . in ukraine, eh and eh, the third channel is actually an import, but there is one more nuance, which is currently only in development, it will say yes, not the fourth channel, but it is a second addition to the second channel, this is a military-technical promise therefore, i would now suggest talking more about ukrainian technologies and military-technical cooperation. because

it is these two aspects that make it possible to defeat russia. on its territory or deep in the occupied territories , for example, in the occupied crimea this is important, first of all, we are starting from the fact that even here we can imagine the implementation of complete de-occupation . as an example of kherson, they will simply be burned by the enemy. we need things that will allow us to carry out a grain response to the enemy, a mirror response to the enemy, first of all , there are two components, now there are such ideas about the two most important components

, which are missiles, missiles with a range of 500- 1,000 km and in the future 1,500 km and we know well together that we are talking not only about cruise missiles but also about ballistic missiles and the fact that a ukrainian missile hit the s400 complex on the territory of crimea it is definitely important for us that this is what we have been proven in practice that the construction and production of missiles continues and increases, and probably it is simply that the modification of the neptune cruise missile is being carried out to the ground class, that is, not as an anti -ship missile, but as a missile that will be used for land targets

and this is very important. it seems to me that the range of the missile has been increased. if neptune had 280, then i am convinced that quite soon we will learn about strikes by such a missile already at a distance of about 400,500 km. this i am absolutely convinced that this will be the case and it is a very important point that the russian anti-aircraft and russian anti-aircraft anti-missile defense systems were not capable , and the s400 complex is a powerful complex, which is actually an anti-aircraft missile complex, and it was unable to react well, we can probably write it off to the fact that an unexpected blow and what, but on the other hand, let's see that the territory of russia is very large in russia , it will not be like in israel, let's say, the opportunity to

completely close all of its territory and if you choose different objects , then ukraine will be able to deliver effective strikes and actually from the middle of july. in our country, we are talking about the fact that ukraine began not just to hit objects and scare psychologically to put pressure on the enemy, but began to methodically destroy the elements of the defense potential, this is also here 22m3 and the large il-76 planes , let's say that they provide the mobility of the airborne forces of russia, and there are definitely other planes there, the su 30 mig-29 , which were also during one of the attacks , five planes were damaged or destroyed, you in order at least and this is definitely naval equipment - it is er that ukraine even under novorossiysk got er , let's say the same large amphibious assault ship

er we said we started with missiles, so to complete the topic of missiles, we still need very serious efforts to create ballistic missiles as well, because if cruise missiles, well, formally , russia can quickly adapt to them and shoot down such a significant number of them, then ballistic missiles. i think that it will is not able to kill at all because they do not have such systems as the patriot, such systems as sam, that is, the mamba, and i think that they will be forced to either endure further or make a decision to terminate at and yes, in fact, we have to

so to speak, to force peace, even to the point that they do not want to carry out attacks, because any attack will be a mirror response. today is a very important day, because for the first time what we have been saying for a long time has actually been done, which is the impression of a factory involved in the production of weapons. today in lyubartsy, a factory that produces electronics for missiles is on fire, and this is already a very big achievement. so, after missiles , the second element, in my opinion, is just a variety of drones. well, i want to positively note that we have never had a production of naval drones, and during this already great of the continental war - our production has been established and we are developing and producing marine drones already with a load of up to 850 kg. yes, that's how the crimean bridge was affected, and this is a very

big achievement. well, a significant achievement now we are observing in the development and application of drones of unmanned aviation complexes, although so far we are only talking about kamikaze drones, so far it seems that nothing has been created. and this is evidenced by the fact that the people on the front have not created an analogue of the shahed. i mean that such a drone should already have a load 70, and maybe in the future and 100 kg of explosives, but the dynamics of development is so fast , it accelerated so much precisely in the 23rd year that it can be predicted that in the near future we will have such killer drones with a large, powerful load, and if ukraine even began to make drones from cardboard, even according to the principle of a well-known australian company. well, we are talking about the fact that the ukrainians are very quickly mastering the use of new composite materials, new elements

of communication navigation, and so on. and we see that in moscow, dozens of shells were stuck yes, that is , there are many anti-drone air defense systems there, but they can’t do anything, they can’t, their air defense turns out to be helpless, just like the anti-missile defense in crimea, we have already seen it so, these two components are needed very quickly. well, they are developing quite quickly, and let's say that it is very nice, especially that it is not only the private sector, although the ministry of defense testifies that the vast majority of purchases of such new high-tech things are actually the private sector. i know he dominates, but the fact that maritime drones were developed actually under the guidance of the security service

and this is the public sector, certified by the head of the security service. this is probably a very positive moment. produce and develop drones are powerful, as are state-owned enterprises . by the way, i cannot help but mention that we need not only the killer drone, but also an operational-tactical drone of the operational-strategic level in the future , which will be used multiple times . we have it developed . back in 2017, tests of the tsrk-2v development began , i.e., the rk-2 missile barrier complex, the development of cables and optics, an electronic guidance system with a laser channel, there are joint developments, i will not name the companies, there are participants and

uh, private enterprises, which is also very important, and therefore, there are all the possibilities to uh , to carry out this independently. well, unfortunately , i can't help but say something that uh, only in the 23rd year, it started to develop rapidly, uh- well, there may have been some objective reasons during the great war in the sense that the calculations were mainly on weapons of western production, but somewhere in december, january, it became clear , in january of this year, that the west would not provide weapons so quickly and, in principle, with there were also signs of this that today, for example, garden lyudmila, this is the kind of material with reference to the book of one of biden's closest entourages, where it was said that there were very dissatisfied with the persistence of the ukrainian

authorities, in particular, president zelensky, when he visited washington for the first time in the 21st year, in september, we remember very persistently, he even demanded acceptance into nato and so on, so we can now, after a certain time, understand why the western system, especially the united states, the biden administration, but of course, it is very unfortunate that these developments did not start and the state did not support them and looked at them very discreetly starting from the 19th. well, i would say from the 19th, but no, that would not be true , starting from the beginning of the war from the 14th , the state's efforts are already weak and this one of the reasons for this, as a matter of fact, for a large-scale attack, because if our priority was the development of various missiles and drones

, in addition, we need to add automation , and of course, we also need to add opportunities for new weapons control systems. well, now from they really praise nettles there, for example, but it could. well, it could all be scaled up much more quickly . under certain conditions, we could keep up with russia. so there are a lot of such nuances that, well, actually made ukraine weak. before the big war, and therefore turning into a vulnerable target , ukraine was of course attractive to putin , who thought he would do it quickly, but the 23rd year shows that ukrainians will not even want to look at the position of the west

in the future, today's publication is a very powerful publication about the fact that president zelenskyi said during a business forum in italy that we will liberate crimea and the path depends on the behavior of russia , either diplomatically or militarily, and here it is for some reason, the statement appeared due to great pressure for ukraine to renounce its desire to de-occupy all its lands and territories . actually, today's statement is another, so to speak. there have already been many such statements, but it is important right now, when the attacks started through the western mass media about the slowness of the counter-offensive about the need for

negotiations with putin and so on . actually, such a statement was necessary to say that if you do not support us in the matter of deoccupation, and so far the biden administration does not support it, we will try to move independently, it is very interesting that europe will play on our side, let's say macron has already made a statement. what is more true that europe should prepare to help to ukraine, if he said very cunningly if there is a second trump, but actually speaking, this is a hint that if the united states delays aid too much, then europe will take over. well, so to speak , the center of gravity will be in europe, and this is very symptomatic

very interesting. and now what ukraine still needs to do, see, er, biden promised an aid agreement based on the model of the israeli model, if it will be so, then it will be for about 10 years and about 3 billion dollars. meeting of e-e ministers of eu defense, and after that borel, the top diplomat of the european union, noted that an agreement is being prepared from 24 to 27 years , about 5 billion euros annually, what needs to be done in ukraine, for example, in the eu and in aid the american plan is to involve western powers, and we need to switch it very quickly to involve ukrainian capabilities and do it within the framework of military-technical

cooperation. turkish companies have their own production facilities here in ukraine, and we know from an interview with bayraktarach that ukraine will be allowed to exploit and maybe develop them . yes, our falcon 300 has more powerful weapons than the baraktar, for example. yes, thank you very much for such a general assessment of what is happening in our defense industry. readers to turn to your publication precisely on ukrinform, where it is once again emphasized and detailed, and i will remind our viewers that we were their interlocutor, valentin batrak , director of the konovaltsi army research center and disarmament, analyst and writer. so , what conclusions can we draw about the fact that we
