5:06 pm
as much as in god. volodymyr vakulenko, a writer from the izyum region, could not save himself from death, but he managed to safely hide the manuscript. very soon, the first anniversary of the liberation of izyum will be about a writer who was killed during the occupation and his diary in the story of kateryna galko, a writer and translator volodymyr vakulenko lived in the village of kapitulivka behind a raisin. on march 7, a column of russian troops entered there, the occupation began. on march 23, they came and followed volodymyr. this man was repeatedly asked to leave the town by his relatives and friends, and he constantly repeated that this was my land. volodya was very fond of his son, but surely i will not be mistaken. if i tell you that he
5:07 pm
loved ukraine even more and most of all, he loved his native country. on march 23, the writer was taken away together with his son after several hours of interrogation, beaten and they let him go, and the next day they returned from solomit and took him in the direction of raisin. since then, no one has seen him. his parents are sure that they surrendered, because the fellow villagers partially understood volodymyr and his pro-ukrainian position, their thoughts. when he saw some injustice , he openly spoke about it. when he heard russian in the store language, he openly said that you should stop speaking russian , because with this you will invite the katsaps and from tomorrow they will be with you, although no one believed him even after the first visit of the occupiers volodymyr i realized that they would definitely come back for him, so i decided to hide my diary. i described life in the occupation, i hid the manuscript under a cherry tree in the yard and asked my father to give it to us when ours came. this is what happened on september 24, after
5:08 pm
the pre-occupation of ryzyum region. the writer viktoria amelina came to document the war crimes of the occupiers. volodymyr's father told to her about her son's diary and they started looking for it, i showed it, gave the shovel and started digging, where is it now? let's go, i dug and found it after kidnapping the writer by searching for him not only relatives, but also colleagues, journalists and public organizations were involved, but to no avail. and when deo bought raisins , they discovered a mass burial among the pine forest , hundreds of graves with wooden crosses on most of them, instead of names, the numbers were right there under number 319, and the body of the writer was confirmed by the results of dna examination they found him, they found him, they threw him like a dog , the pension documents were pierced, and vitalkina is here
5:09 pm
, well, he says that he is a guardian. well, three bullets pierced the heart, one stomach, even before the news of his death , viktoria amelina handed over the diary it was important for the kharkiv literary museum to preserve the notes, because they were hidden under the ground for almost six months. so they were wet and unstable during the summer. the museum dried the records , stabilized and digitized everything. they hoped that volodymyr would be found and decide their further fate himself, but a miracle did not happen, so ms. elena, volodya's mother, left the notes. son of the museum for life-long storage , what would i not like for it to be these persons, or perhaps the object is real? brought it and handed it over. if he wanted to hand it over. well, that’s how it is that today we became responsible for this time, er, the diary for
5:10 pm
these records, for this manuscript, the answers, this notebook without a cover is safely kept in the museum in kharkiv. colors with all crossed out and dates, the diary of volodymyr vakulenko was presented for the first time in june of this year at the book arsenal, and on august 29, the book, which was already published in a full edition, was presented in izyum. poems by volodymyr and viktoria amelina managed to write a preface in which she shared that she was in the middle of a new shot revival, or on july 1, victoria herself died from wounds received after the shelling of the front-line kramatorsk by the russians. all proceeds from the sale will go to the writer's family, his body is buried in kharkiv at the city cemetery number two but i believe that as long as volodya's work is alive, as long as it is appreciated . as long as volodya is alive, all crimes against the rashists
5:11 pm
must be punished on this moment . i'm telling you everything. see you at 6:00 p.m. read more on our website espresso tv, also subscribe to our channel on social networks, stay close i welcome you to the espresso channel today, in the difficult conditions of war, ukrainian enterprises are creating new models of weapons for our army, from mortars and ammunition to them, to missile weapons that look particularly relevant against the background of the statement by the president of ukraine about the need to increase own production and reports about the successful testing of new missile
5:12 pm
systems with a range of up to 700 km, this is should really be interpreted as noticeable progress in the implementation of the state missile program, but should we talk about certain weapons projects publicly? i think that without excessive detailing, it is still worth it, as the statements of the president from shakhtar of the nsdc actually demonstrate, because it has an important informational component . as for the practical on the part of our companies and public and private companies that are successful in this field, as for me, they need maximum support. so, about the creation of weapons and the conditions for scaling up successful projects, we and we will talk. today in our military program with ukrainian industrialists and experts, my name is serhiy zgorets, i am the director of the information consulting company defense express, which, together with the espresso channels, strives to highlight the most relevant trends in the field of security and defense , and now we are joined by vladyslav belbas , the company's general director, ukrainian
5:13 pm
brontehnika p vladislav i congratulate you, i'm glad to see and hear you good afternoon, thank you for the invitation thank you for what happened to our offer to tell a little about the activities of your company and i'll 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 to the security and defense forces. i would like you to tell our viewers what exactly is said in about the resumption of production, how long did it take? and what mortar samples can we talk about now ? thank you for the
5:14 pm
question. i will probably answer. production geolocation a-a why was it restored because the company lost the production site and the site of the contractor e-e in the temporarily occupied territory e because of this we had to restore e-e the production process at another e-e let’s say yes to another location a changing changing the manufacturer changing e-e contractors , in accordance with the standards and requirements of the ministry of defense, we had to pass qualification tests after that, that is, e-e quality control by the customer is very strict, especially for e-e mortars as means of defeating that and we are talking about recovery because we have already produced them since 2018 and the goalkeeper 82 mortar was put into service
5:15 pm
in 2018 and has proven itself well and has been used . by the way, it has been actively used since 18, and the e-e mp-120 mortar was put into service before the beginning of a full-scale invasion, therefore, its production was started, well, if it was organized from scratch, it was already wartime when we talk about these additional tests, that is, it was necessary to confirm , confirm a certain, let's say, the quality of these three mortars, as you understand the caliber 60-82 and 120 km, and these new tests, they were shorter compared to the state tests, because we remember the story when we had to fire as many as 5,000 mines under each mortar in order to prove the quality of each element of the mortar like this passed now more than 5,000 emin eh. so, eh, look
5:16 pm
, when eh passes the development stage, you need to eh, work out the full resource with a mortar to understand its stability, eh, endurance , as well as the formation of a set of spare parts the so-called zpa qualification tests are a little simpler, they are less voluminous tests, but which involve the full scope of tests to confirm the declared characteristics and quality of the products, i.e. this time they did not fire 5,000 mines or it is much less than a few hundred, good and so you said more precisely
5:17 pm
, there was a report that more than 600 mortars were supplied to the defense forces, uh, this is uh, within the framework of the state defense order. with our own funds, such large-scale deliveries. unfortunately, we are unable to carry out such deliveries for law enforcement agencies for the state customer, including with the use of volunteer funds of giant funds, but 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 who received mortars during these first batches? i think there are also 120 and 120 mm mortars. which ones are most needed by our military , what is the reaction?
5:18 pm
there are already reviews of the operation . since we have been supplying them for a long time. including warranty failures a-a or questions about operation , for example, this information you took, you took it from a press release in which the instructions for operation were laid out, this is due to the fact that er there are cases when untrained personnel er were allowed if before operation or not learned in a certain necessary way the information about operation, that is why we put in open access a simple video instruction on how to use a mortar to minimize the task of damage to products or their breakdown due to operational errors, but when we talk about the 20 mm mortar, your company has carried out
5:19 pm
certain refinements that make double charging impossible, other know-how that should increase the operational combat capabilities of this mortar, these refinements already have, let's say, a certain result from the point in terms of the effectiveness of their use on the battlefield, of course, we started our experimental design work with what, let’s say, duplicating the mechanism for preventing double charging of the soviet 2b11 mortar, and in the process of state tests of the mortar, we significantly refined it, changed the composition -e metal, its design was changed several times, it was tested by shooting and we came to the conclusion that the fuse that we created, developed and produced, it does not fail as often
5:20 pm
as, for example, the soviet ones, nevertheless regarding operation, you can see on the internet. unfortunately, firing mortars of 102 caliber 120 mm. i am not talking about our mortars. and about the use of mortars in general, most of them exist, all the videos that i have seen from the battlefield, there is no video with a fuse, unfortunately, they are all are used without fuses , that is, the level of our military has probably risen, that they remember that we threw them into the negative . the number of ukrainian enterprises involved in these projects. is it only ukrainian armored vehicles that produce all the components for these mortars ? we have three contractors involved in the production of mortars, but it must be said that the contractors also
5:21 pm
involve their own suppliers. a workplace creates 10-15 jobs in related enterprises , even in related industries. and when we talk about price policy, now the language is mortars and abroad, but price competition if there is state order, these are our mortars or your mortars, will they withstand foreign deliveries, the question is interesting. thank you for such a question, it means it is complex. if we talk about the company's production of mortars, then the company started production, development of mortar production in 2018 with, let's say, these new targeting, so the finished product should have been cheaper than similar imported products in order to have the possibility of e-e supplies for the armed forces one of the ministry of defense or other power
5:22 pm
customers and in this case if the results 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 in the same configuration and maybe at the same level or maybe a little more expensive than mortars from storage well, they are 10-20 years old , uh, that is, well, not freshly produced, and therefore completely competitive, and well, the price advantage for example, in the 120th minometer, it is quite significant, it is somewhere around 20-30%, if you compare it with the tenders
5:23 pm
of the 19th-20th, er, 21st year, er, and now, about er, well, having active combat operations and active purchases a little it was possible to reduce this price from foreign suppliers, so there is a whole price difference of about 15-29%. well, it 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 also supplies the armed forces with 60 mm rounds. and just recently it happened that you established a partnership with foreign companies to manufacture min-120 mm, a little more detail about this project, how long it took, how difficult it was to implement it, what, relatively speaking, volumes can be supplied to the armed forces, at least oriented, what can i say, i will start from
5:24 pm
the end, probably, but this one, it is hundreds of thousands, more than 100,000 units e- eh for a year eh regarding the complexity of cooperation well look in a mortar shot eh combined production of various branches of metallurgy eh chemistry and precise metalworking for blasters and capsules therefore of course eh to establish such cooperation is not easy and it takes time and compose a shot, a mortar shot, test it. for quite a long time, our cooperation consists in, let's say , the execution of works to foreign partners that cannot be done or done there in
5:25 pm
the near future due to the loading of production lines. that 's right . er , foreign cooperation is used for this, and it should be noted that until 2022, before the full-scale invasion of er munitions in ukraine, munitions were not produced in ukraine except for those put into service previously named by you 60-millimeter mines, and there were also the development of 152-millimeter hyacinth shots, but they did not complete the tests of the state tests, and that is why there is such a fact. just the creation of new production sites and the expansion of their production capabilities, but we can talk about the fact that you, in cooperation with
5:26 pm
foreign partners, have created , let's say, the first ukrainian mine of 120 mm caliber. is this a mine or a mortar shot? it needed tests again, when we had to confirm certain properties of this mine in relation to the debris, these are the other parameters that the military pays attention to. since we produced them, let's say operations with a foreign partner, we used that documentation let's say that they were made using their experience and under their registration nato test documents and so on, that's why it's there in detail
5:27 pm
i wouldn't like to reveal it, but it's already here as the operation was such a production cooperation and uh its if this is both a commercial moment and also an element of security so there would be in detail i would not like to talk about it uh but our production capabilities were also used their experience of very such production uh serial and uh 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 military, so there was no need for testing, which i understood , but you move on and the company supplied the armed forces and promises to supply and further, just from the 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 122 mm ammunition, how did it
5:28 pm
develop or is it similar to the fact that there were 120 mm mines, eh, a little, well, if you take it that way it is really similar, the way of cooperation with foreign partners, in this case, it is similar, but it is other partners, other productions, and another cooperative chain, but the principle is similar to the formation, let’s say, of a ready-made shot from components according to our there are competences and uh, here, too, it is necessary to note the difficulties that arise because, unfortunately , the production of gunpowder there is very limited in europe, and this is the main uh, criterion, why
5:29 pm
uh, well, in a narrow bottleneck of production volumes, for example, 122 shots well, that is, for now, the shortage of gunpowder in europe is having an effect on certain chemical elements. it is very difficult to agree on timely production. for art systems for mortars, what is the situation there , i think you know it well, there is quite a large shortage, as i said, for powder mixtures, e.e., for various, especially powder mixtures e.
5:30 pm
busyness of productions, european-style production, western-style production is planned for years ahead , and therefore, let's say, getting some components, getting some elements for a shot, buying some components is much more difficult than there in the pre-war period, and this is on the one hand with 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, is actively providing domestic european manufacturers with orders for e-e basses of e-e artillery caliber, here we mentioned the clip 60 mm 120 mm for mortars 122 to arcs of systems, is the company going to move there and further there 152-155 mm is it, well, in such business plans of your company, we are considering such a proposal , or rather, what is the possibility. but we are faced with those
