[000:00:00;00] all the guys were transferred to snipers and now you are the commander of a sniper platoon. how did you learn to be a sniper with the help of our friends? we bought two sniper rifles and began training in most of the training . free time, which will appear soon, to go quickly somewhere to the training ground and do something for myself, then in the zaporozhye direction , we had certain tasks for me regarding sniping, and i performed them, and practically i could not perform them because i did not have enough and experience and i lacked a lot of moments that i needed. i needed to tighten up and this did not release, perhaps, some kind of indignation or that the commanders were angry with me, but on the contrary , they understood that i needed to further

develop and that i wanted and it turned out after these battles when we saw these my mistakes or some shortcomings , the sergeant of my company, he sent me to pc-1, there was such a friend of mine from the sniper group who were already super professionals, and i spent some time with them in order to improve my me apprentices did you learn a little more personally? why did you choose the profession of a sniper? what prompted you? why exactly? sniper? when we were an assault company, we were made machine -gun calculations. we were a fire support company for a short period of time . these machine guns were used when

either a large number of infantry or some kind of equipment did not hide them, that is, you can sit there for hours and days in an ambush with a machine gun and not use this machine gun , most of my work ended up like this recently, we have been traveling with a machine gun. i chose a sniper rifle with me, and when there is no work on a machine gun. i worked for a sniper. do you remember your first sniper shot? it was as if the position i was in and i was tracked there. there is a constant passage of people, that russian soldiers walk in full height and are not afraid of anyone there, and here i am behind the elevators behind an ambush, waiting for the russian soldier to pass and there was no

dugout, they passed and entered the dugout and here was mine, i already saw the target and when i shot i realized that it wasn't me, he didn't fall , but he started limping and limping very much, and then like in the dugout behind it well, like in the pool , you know, that is, i realized that somewhere i had seriously wounded him this was my first such shot and two minutes later a completely different soldier ran out just like that, like a chest target right in front of you where it's just very difficult to miss and this was our second shot where he fell at once two shots that i clearly remember this is my first practice where i saw the impression of the enemy right after the shot or after or in general when the enemy is hit and it is like that feeling, well, on the one hand, you are happy, and on the other hand, you are sorry, and somehow you know it is like that. these feelings that it is you, but joy overcomes you. you understand that this creep could shoot your brothers as your boys that he leaned on this land i want to show you

how the russian soldiers are rotting on our land , they crossed over to our land now you have perhaps more such professionals yes they know how to cope with their emotions there i have what i am there am i sad that a bad operation was performed or what? i'm glad that everything went well and we successfully performed the operation yes did i see many targets you know i couldn't cope with my emotions if a professional sniper he will heal yes he will work at least twice or how many targets clearly yes and i have the sniper turns into a machine gun. that is, i saw there that it runs 3 targets. yes , and i, clap , clap , clap. well, what’s up with the guy next to sniper, the second one is more experienced, what was it like? it’s us, it’s not an automatic machine, but you’re a sniper, if

we’re talking about sniping, specifically, the range of the shot, what’s your personal limit that i’ve already managed to overcome in my unit? there are much better sniper guys who cover a much greater distance. i have a certain limit and i have not crossed it yet. it is a shot into a difficult wind. this is what we are going through now . it is similar to training where the wind changes very much and sharply. it changes in i have 840 m and without such that without severe weather conditions , i have 1,100 m. it is much, much better than a sniper who can already shoot at one and a half at 1,700 m. there are many factors that affect it. first of all, it is clear that the main thing is the skill of the person who shoots . this is a weapon with a tongue, it shoots and a cartridge because even for such ranges we are already buying equipment now in order to make these cartridges ourselves in order to go to such distances and even weapons

. also, we are now buying slightly better ones in order reach the level and i think that we will continue to develop it personally, which one do you like the most today ? i work, uh, tika t3 for 308 caliber. we select applicants and what willpower and moral qualities should a future sniper in schools and their snipers have a little simpler, but still detailed. for example, we can take into our unit only a person who already has a certain combat

experience and clearly combat experience, and it is not ato, this is current experience. he behaved with his friends , also to drink so that it was not only his information , we find out his behavior, his reaction to explosions , close explosions to a shot, how he responded to it , himself in assault actions, and we also take a small course on sniper we take weapons there, a weak caliber, there is a 308, for example, we go through a few with them only in a few hours, we can practice with him for two to five hours so that he, uh , understands a little bit how to relate to a sniper rifle and see how it shoots, there are, for example, two such factors that a person is gifted. she can shoot accurately. she has such a keen eye for everything. as long as it is put in it. this is the gift. there is a person who works hard to become

a good sniper, but he is learning and you are not. will lag behind the person who has gifts in civilian life, you were the pastor of the light of life church and now at war sniper, doesn't this contradict the moral values ​​that you preached before and to the people who came to the church, how do you explain it to yourself and others, how i was a pastor the light of life, i remained in relation to the fact that how it is combined, it is very simple, as the pastor defended his church, it is written in the bible what principles pastors should have to protect their rotary, to worry about them, i should circumcise my family to protect it as well as the country i always say to everyone with whom i have a conversation about this i have a very good wonderful dream i have a clear conscience i am not a murderer i protect my country i protect my family i protect the church i i protect my parents, i want them to meet their old age in the country. i don’t expect that my church supports me in my favorite

moments when i need financial support where i need it. i joined the war . for a long time , we had no money at all. my boys didn’t get any gas. no salaries, we were in the uniform of volunteers for several months, my church was worried about my family, the guys as chaplains go to bakhmut all the time, they deal with the wounded , take them out, help, yes, they don’t take up arms. there and at and at zero in the trenches amid pain, death, suffering, more faith or disbelief in god, according to your personal observations, a month ago, our very good friend was wounded and he was carried out yes and carried out under serious shelling and when this the guy's legs and they both shouted to the lord to save and save not because of similarity because you are in such a situation that nothing at all depends on you, well , nothing at all depends on you, be the

coolest professional, be the strongest there i'm going to bed. so you just go somewhere you shouldn't go, and you'll die, and that's why in such cases people clearly understand that only god can save. and in such situations , there are a lot of guys who approach in fear and approach to speak quietly, captain. you probably pray for a special one because now something will be so heavy on my soul when you know such things happen that he returns with himself and tells that a friend was killed near him hello tank shot and he remained alive then we are being shot at by a train yes oh it flew in most i am faced with by the fact that a large number of people turn to god at such moments and even when we have free time we communicate about uh relationships with god about the life of the right values ​​of god

why are you like that there are values ​​why so and so and so we have very frequent conversations. please tell us about the fiercest battle in your life, where it took place and under what circumstances, bakhmut was not our first assault company to go on an assault on an assault on a landing and they ran into him in a very hard ambush and where a large number of their boys were lost 300s and there were a lot of 200s, and in order to be able to pick up the wounded and dead, fire support was needed. when we set up a machine gun, we cut off the enemy . it turned out to be somewhere 450 m from our positions. we kept the enemy practically in their trenches so that they did not advance , and the young guys, around 20 and 21 years old, under our bullets , covering them with fire, they climbed, climbed

to the side of the enemy, where there is an open area , so that they also used only funnels, except where it was to hide a little. and they climbed there precisely under these bullets in order to pull out the already dead boys and they value their lives like that, er, they put the remains of the boys of the dead boys in tents for one thing - and carried them out under our shelling, that is, we we cover with a machine gun from above and they get under the gap of the ground of our climatic shots and they and you look at it guys when i was even shooting a video and then i couldn’t get it as i turned off the phone i’m throwing it because, well , for me, they were real heroes that they not only enemy shelling , but also our shelling in that direction and under our bullets could do such things during the offensive operation on the outskirts of bakhmut in november 2022, you commanded a machine gun calculation. and

as i was told by the representatives of the brigade from intercepted enemy radio broadcasts and intelligence data were destroyed. at that time, there were more than 60 enemies. tell us more about this moment and how many assault attacks and enemy infantry had to be repelled every day. this situation was quite interesting because there were not only assaults and it was important that there was a very a great team, the team that got this position, er, such very cool machine gunners gathered, who were practically not afraid of anything , they were brave and they loved the target, only they saw it, they immediately became disoriented, why do i say that there was not only an assault, there was such a a section of the road where they had a road with a road through which they passed, they carried a bull there, everything sweated, the road, i would have such communication, you understand, and they practically tried very hard, tried to run quickly through that road and very often

they did not succeed, it was very strange that according to the plan, what was put in place for several people, that is, for these on this repast, a rather short time, half an hour there, 40 minutes again, and whose command i cannot let everyone understand by this time. yes, he even says that i do not understand why this happened because, well, well if you learn from your mistakes, well, several people have died. yes, you are already looking for another way. you already understand that he is already under fire , or what else has this information been proven by, or something else, for example, there are already many corpses lying around? you understand that something is happening right here, like as if they were blind to this, there were many on the internet that are being conducted by a third separate assault brigade , is there actually preparation for such confrontations with the enemy for such assaults, and in what way is there a certain operation that needs to be performed, a location is being sought for this

the operation you are training, what equipment is leaving, how should it leave, how should the infantry behave, how should they disembark , that is, these trainings take place so that everything is coordinated, so that the driver knows where to leave, so that he does not go to the russians somewhere, so that he does not run into mines somewhere, arrange everything to automatism, certain such moments, they uh, we teach, we are the sergeants of the battalion who are responsible for the implementation of such a combat task plan, and they conduct training . oh, and well, i also often help with this during by himself, yes. many moments can happen when something happens or the equipment explodes or something else, but even at such moments there are spoken instructions on what to do , how to behave, and there is also a moment that a hole during the execution of a combat task he has the opportunity to make decisions on his own knows the final point of the execution of the combat task and they keep within tolerance by units in communication there departments for example yes they hear each other support each other and

accordingly they already make decisions like this do everything a separate assault brigade opposes the enemy in the most fierce areas of the front if it can be voiced in which directions are you fighting now and how is the enemy behaving there and what is the actual operational situation in this area near bakhmut we are now near the temporary yar there are our zones of responsibility the advance of our units will come each day practically the price of all this is very high road practically every day there are some boundaries that need to be considered anew in order to push these russians out of there about the so-called spiritual scraps of russians in your opinion or not this is a substitution of christian concepts and an attempt to manipulate and replace true christian values, so to speak. well, to zombify people essentially with god's principles, and in general with god's vision or word of god , in general, it is common only as manipulation . well, there is nothing, brother

he is also a military man, please introduce us to him, tell us about him, brother, a real hero, i wish that of course he was with us now. he would sit and talk about it. he has been in captivity for more than a year . maybe i can’t tell about some of his heroic deeds. things now and openly and sincerely to tell because i am afraid of harm, because he still remains in captivity, but i would really like to, and already as families we are all worried, trying to somehow knock on different doors what in your opinion is an indispensable obstacle to our victory and what in fact, it will lead us to victory, you see that every piece of life is very expensive, my boys are all around me 20 21 23 years and the more the more the day the more and more of them we lose it is a huge pain this is my dream i

think about what what god will give some miracle as with as god's people, he freed god's people with miracles and judgments of those people who did cruel things. did miracles happen to you at the front, on the bahmat, there was such a situation, guys . i asked them to hide in the dugout, it is about 150 m from the trench in which i was, and my trench was in front with a machine gun in order to see that the enemy did not approach and could not bypass us, the guys asked why there was a very strong shelling, and all the equipment was firing, including lng and ags and armored personnel carriers and tanks very much, there were practically there was not even a minute that it was gone and this was all around us from the landing, only stumps were made, there was no longer even a place to hide, every 15 minutes someone from the dugout from one of the soldiers looked out and shouted eh chaplain is alive there i really wanted

coffee come you a certain period of time and the guys shout that chaplain, we made coffee, but i realized that if i ask someone to run and bring this 150 m because she runs 150 m and somewhere there are two puffs that must explode somewhere near you, i think that someone can buy my coffee everything will die i say right now i'm running and i waited for the last explosion and i'm running quickly i'm running almost to the end there was another explosion, well, it was further, that is, everything is fine, i ran there and very strongly when i was running , something else started, the frequency increased increased these explosions i i made a couple of trays. i think, ok, i'll run back. i'll run back with this coffee and run back to where i was sitting. in my place , a log of one and a half or two meters was just stuck without branches and nothing. and now i 'm telling everyone, when god will build an e- to ask coffee and don't be lazy, children, coffee, maybe it will save you, what will you do, only from the family, i want to

be with the family, the smell of home , uh, stay here, it's not just home, it's not just if it gives me some kind of rehabilitation and i immediately want to sit at home , just calmly knowing that everything it's already over, then after the war . when we will definitely win, many ministers of vinnytsia are going among us now to talk about the women whose families have lost their husbands. military on it is difficult for me to agree with this because these are strong people who have gone through such things and now , well, they will even be. it seems to me that it is difficult to agree that this is rehabilitation, help for such strong people, i am thinking of some

military such clubs communication, their unity is possible, uh, to help each other, there were people among them, who would be a lot of certain and dependence, there would be a certain amount of financial difficulties, so that somehow we made uh, unions, some uh, veteran meetings , in order for each other help the same even the construction of houses in our country when there was an ato is in a state that luhansk suffered a lot from the hail from the hailstorms of the russians poured a lot of hail, a lot of houses were damaged and we learned that many houses are disabled people who cannot rebuild their houses we are from vinnytsia with churches from pugachev, e.e. blagodat gathered a team and went there, we rebuilt houses for the disabled for almost more than a sunday . these are the projects we did before. i think that something similar will be possible. and so on . so we are in the process of thinking.

to help the country as well as to help people who were in such hostilities. thank you that at this moment you are helping to win such an expected victory for us in your person. i want to thank all our defenders and defenders . thank you chevrons that bring victory closer. already from the first steps on our land, they were convinced that for centuries we defend our independence and are ready to fight for it again , the defense forces of ukraine stubbornly and relentlessly step by

step win out, bite out, squeeze out enemy claws, our earth , our will, our independence, we thank you for every moment and for this day, we prove our independence every day when we say weapons, we imagine machine guns, guns , tanks or rockets, but an equally powerful weapon is a reliable communication of advancement at the front and the saved lives of our comrades , enemies taken by surprise and recaptured positions , timely deployment of reserves and delivered ammunition, all of this is a great merit of our signalmen soldiers, armed with signalmen , our army is stronger. glory to the communications troops

of the armed forces of ukraine. glory to ukraine discussion during this hour, we will start the situation on our fronts , in particular, we will talk about what is currently happening in the south of ukraine, for this we are adding to our conversation the head of the united coordination press center, the force of the defense of the south of ukraine nataliya humenyuk ms. nataliya good evening glory to ukraine to the heroes of glory greetings ms. nataliya, please tell me based on the results of the day, in which areas of the front in the south, more intense battles are currently going on , the situation in general remains quite difficult and tense because the enemy is constantly maneuvering the enemy is constantly looking for options for new tactics both on the direct line of contact and in the deeper rear because he feels that the power of those units that are

along the front line is fed by the resources that the deep rear can provide and in particular in the south does not give rest to all regions in fact only in the front-line kherson region , and more deeply, and very carefully studies the situation in mykolaiv region, there we constantly observe the activity of unmanned aerial vehicles and, in particular, studies the situation and collects information in odesa, which was recently terrorized by powerful attacks, now the threat remains the activity of tactical aviation, which is mainly concentrated along the front line , where the enemy uses guided aerial bombs, and that day was no exception, they launched them again in the poberyslav district, they again hit the agricultural facilities of the region,

fortunately, the airstrikes did not strike harm to people , but instead with artillery fire, which is trying to equalize the situation in their own favor and in their opinion, they after all, they are very powerful in harassing the local population, unfortunately, there are injured victims, including children, and the fact that they continue to terrorize the ochakiv direction, that is, the kutsurub community of chaykiv , suffering from the shelling of the kinburn spit. this is again a reflection of what they are trying to keep under control the navigation of the dnipro-buzka estuary remains a strategic direction for them, where they fear the expansion of the humanitarian corridor because they understand that the vessels they have dragged into the ports of ukraine

they forced me to reread the long-term term there - this includes mykolaivsk and the kherson ports . nataliya, today you told me that there are no signs that the occupiers are preparing for winter in the south. and how can they take advantage of the recent warm weeks, in particular there, to activate perhaps some of their own attacks or to deter our offensive, uh, just as we analyze the prospects, including taking into account geography and weather conditions, and they do it, and in particular they now have a very powerful choice between the second and third echelons of defense that they have arranged for themselves , that is, they have to decide where they are, where they will still spend the winter, the fact that all the same their plans will adjust the strength of the defense of ukraine , we know it and they in principle , they are aware, but at this stage they are trying to make the most of this dry period , let's say so, when they can somehow

strengthen themselves, they can still reformat , shift, maneuver because they feel the fire control that we are able to establish on the transport and logistics arteries, which are very important and sensitive for them because they are equipped with bridges and there are pain points , let's say, they have them. they are now trying to arrange their logistics so as not to be dependent on these painful places on, let's say, take peak logistics routes, in particular, those alternative ones what are they looking for now? for now, let them think that's all, but we will work on it, ms. nataliya, then please tell us what the situation in the black sea and the sea of ​​azov is, what we currently have in

the sea of ​​the naval group in the mountains holding in the deployed state, it is closed - they are trying to take the maximum number of units into the open sea so that they have a reserve of maneuver and are not locked in e-e basing points, although there are rocket launchers that the enemy took out on duty in the evening, the frigate admiral essen was forced to enter the point basing due to the fact that the sea on our side swelled and a storm began, so they were forced to drive it to novorossiysk, and nevertheless we realize that this is a ready-made ship equipped for combat duty , which within 2-3 hours can be on combat course and 3-4 points - this is not such a powerful storm that it should be critically scared, and because they are only protecting themselves or playing with their muscles , in addition, we can talk about the fact that avi and i are currently observing the activities, although the activation of the active activation

of narrow chess is not excluded. understand the pause that the enemy gave during the previous night and the south could breathe a little after powerful attacks can be used in order to pull up certain resources for the enemy, it is necessary to be aware of this, monitor the operational situation and respond to signals in time air three, that is, the threat is not going anywhere as long as there is russian aggression, we traditionally talk about it as long as russia exists in the format in which it is, therefore we must be careful ms. nataliya, thank you for the information nataliya humenyuk, head of the joint coordination process of the defense forces of southern ukraine, we heard the enemy is active, the enemy is ready to take up positions at any moment, that 's why there is an air alert .
