people who laid down their lives for the independence of ukraine, so a moment of silence for the fallen heroes. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.

hello everyone, this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, and in this stream we talk about the following topics: russia is improving drones and other weapons that... attack ukraine and teach them to bypass ukrainian anti-aircraft defense. for the third week , waves of attack drones are attacking the south. where are russian forces aiming, how difficult repel from the game drones that fly in turn, or the ukrainian air defense is exhausted. drones hit the parking lot of russian helicopters in the city of sochi. the russian telegram channel shot writes that it was allegedly the first time the armed forces of ukraine attacked the krasnodar territory with bayraktarars. could the ukrainian army apply this. the type of drones targeted in

russia and what continues to explode in crimea, let's talk. special operation barinya , a russian serviceman recruited by a ukrainian gang, convinced 11 russian military armies to surrender. how was it prepared and implemented the operation, we will hear the details from the representative of the main intelligence department. wait. every morning from 9:00, our team collects important news and together with you and experts we discuss military and political issues. situation in ukraine, write in the comments from where you are watching us and what topics you consider important this morning. tonight, russian forces launched seven missile-type strike drones over ukraine. forces of the pppu of ukraine shot down four of them. in addition, russian troops launched 18 guided aerial bombs together with the shaheds. about this the head of the joint coordination press center of the southern defense forces, nataliya humenyuk, said. drones attacked.

in the dnipropetrovsk and kherson regions , civil and critical infrastructure, in particular the hospital, were hit. the factories of the agricultural enterprise in the kherson region were damaged. with the help of drones of the shachet type, the russian forces tried to find out the location of the air defense forces of ukraine, says humenyuk. attacks on the south of ukraine, in particular by shachet strike drones, have been going on for three weeks, almost every day. military analysts the defense express portal calculated that russian troops were launched in ukraine in september. 503 drones, this is significantly more than the previous highest figure in may. the average share of destroyed drones is more than 78%, analysts write, but they add that the more drones are launched, the less effective ukrainian air defense can be. yuriy ignat, spokesman for the air force of the armed forces of ukraine, joins our broadcast. i congratulate you. good morning, congratulations, six or seven drones were launched tonight, but in

previous days there were up to 40 drones at one night, they flew in several waves, what are the air defense forces watching now, are the russian forces attacking with drones, or are they protecting their missiles in this way, that's why such a number, of course, those of this night, they have already announced seven, there are more hits of guided air bombs, probably we should be careful, the drones didn’t cause much trouble this time, well, but it doesn’t matter, they are there, they will be, it is obvious that the enemy is increasing the production of attack uavs, it is already possible on its own territory, not only iran supplies, continues supply, i think that it continues, and russia somewhat, in fact, covers iran from the fact that it is actually ours, our shaheds that we are doing, well, i think that our partners have information, who is behind what and for whom stands and where do they get the components.

in fact, the aggressors in order to attack ukraine, indeed september was a record for the number of uavs of the shock type, such as shohet, we have already seen the count, well, it is difficult to count, it is very difficult, you just have to take our statistics, look at the facebook page or telegram in a month and see, exactly how many bpps are launched and how many were destroyed, the fact that russia will increase their production and use them against ukraine, we have already been talking about this for several months on the air, including with you, so these are obvious steps, because russia will not have many missiles, of its own production, i have in mind, because already, well, we saw how many they have a year ago and how many high-precision long-range weapons they have now, that's why there will be missiles, they can be used less, because there are actually more priority targets for missiles, a missile is, well, much more powerful weapon than dronkadze and much more expensive weapons and

it takes much longer to manufacture them at enterprises than, than the same kamikaze drones, that is why we have such a situation today, well, plus add that guided a bombs, plus the missiles that they have in the c300 warehouses, which they, too, are killing in the front-line zones, these are the risks and threats we have, that is why it is necessary to continue the work done by the ukrainian authorities, the ukrainian military, and at ramstein and at the public diplomatic levels, to make requests for new supplies, because there are more drones, correspondingly more means of destruction there should be more banal, or electronic warfare systems , which... today are reaching a new level , the head of state also spoke about this, not so long ago, about the fact that when they were in the east, the fighters talked about how effectively rap works today, the enemy, how effectively our rep works, so we need both a small-range rep, and what about the same anti-drone

guns on the battlefield, so that, to, to, affect quadcopters, the same, and powerful stations that can affect the work of shaheeds, cruise missiles, and so on. and the question is only in the number of these means, and most often, can you tell us what exactly these drones of the shahed type are shot down with, or is the question in the number of people, mobile groups, who can work to shoot down the shahed? mobile fire groups are working better and better, but you just showed a video of a drone being shot down at night, or rather not being shot down, you can see how many people are hunting the mine with tracers, they are leading it with a searchlight, everyone is shooting, it is flying on its own, it is clear what to destroy we need him, as much as we can, yes, whatever it is, the fighters will work out, sometimes better, sometimes worse , they are not designed to see

this type of drone in their outdated soviet radar, especially if they have already started using composite materials for the fuselage, which makes its even more imperceptible, further except... anti-aircraft missile systems, well, here the number of missiles is important , which we can afford to use for such types of targets, further, further mobile fire groups armed with anti-aircraft guns, such as zu-232, let's say yes, we already have it cheetahs and others, there are pzzrk, pezrk, for pzzrk you need to see the target, you need the experience of the serviceman himself, and at night, it is extremely extremely difficult with the pezk, well, the best thing, we have already said more than once, is practicing, the cheetah copes with the task, this is a more rational weapon for destroying such type of targets as shahet, the cheetah has radar tracking of the target, respectively, anti

-aircraft guns, cheetah guns, shoot in advance in one burst, explosive shells make such a cloud of shrapnel, which is destroyed without a chance for the shahed. this is actually a weapon that can to hit shahed, well, the same means of radio electronic warfare as shahed, or rather, cheetah, cheetah has a 4.5 km radius of damage, one system, rep systems too, well, they have a limited range, yes, so the number is important here, and mobile fire groups, and short-range tpo and means of radio-electronic warfare, the state is large and the enemy uses different ways. different routes to bypass those systems that are met by shahedis and rockets, how many times more the number of weapons and weapons and people should be, it is very difficult to say, now you see,

that a person is gradually displaced by a robotic system, so the influence of the human factor decreases and this increases the effectiveness of the use of weapons, artificial intelligence works, therefore people are needed... of course to control all these weapons, but in quantity you need more territory, i tell you, the length of borders is very large, launches of shaheds are carried out from three or four directions. actually, we are blocking, so we have no other options, how to block strategic objects, military objects, critical infrastructure objects, the line the front, and the cities, respectively, millionaires, where, where we can disperse our anti-aircraft defenses somewhere, on the approaches to the goal of destroying both missiles and shaheds. in defense express, when analyzing the month of september with the shaheds, they say that the average rate of shooting down drones is 79% of the total. is this a good result, or can it get worse, for example, if

russia will still use an even greater number of drones there, or some other scheme, this is a good result, i even, to be honest, i haven’t counted myself yet, i’m even surprised, what it's so high, to be honest, here you can see that the number of bepalasts is more and it's harder to hit them in different directions, but it's a good result, with the type of weapons we have, i we have most of our weapons are outdated soviet weapons that are not created to shoot down such targets as a missile or a cruise missile, but as you can see, even with these weapons they try to squeeze out the maximum and , accordingly, such a result, well, i guess it is logical that thanks to the dedication of people, thanks to the professionalism of those who already have experience the introduction of hostilities, especially at night, as you understand that the target cannot be seen at night, and you need to... manage to do everything in order to see and destroy them.

there was information about the modification of the shaheeds that supposedly they won't be as loud, what could this mean, could it hinder, also there air defense forces to hear them in order to shoot them down? you see, we are unlikely to use the sound much, yes, the sound when the racket flies, it can be kind of on the left, actually the right, and it is not such a proper indicator, yes it buzzes, everyone heard these sounds, but at night, well, more is better, it is still a radar tether, that is, seeing it thanks to the radar systems on your monitors is the basis for destroying them, and already the information that the visual observation point saw there, it also records this information and is promptly transmitted to the command posts, well, also, if someone heard a sound, whether it was a missile, this information is also promptly transmitted, that is why we have sound marks on the maps, well actually

a sound tag is also a visual tag, that is, what they saw it there, they heard it there, but it seems to be flying by radio, it’s just additional information, so it’s also used, but in the end the main thing is to see it with the radar, what targets are currently being chosen by the strike drones of the russian forces, are they already energy objects, or is it too early talk about it and can we say that they have switched from large... regional centers to smaller cities and are trying to hit targets right there, they are hitting our economy, they are hitting ukraine, they are hitting enterprises, today you see grain, and other industrial enterprises, they probably have a list of those enterprises that can help the ukrainian economy and keep the state afloat, because it is extremely necessary not to fight, but actually think about our state, how to preserve it in an economic sense, of course, partners help us,

various subventions there, but still ukraine is working , people have jobs today, and the enemy also understands subversion from the middle of the state, thanks to such blows that they inflict practically every day with shaheds, so the targets will be different, it must be understood if we talk about the number, well, if russia will increase this number and send more than 500 shaheds per month. will ukrainian air defense withstand such attacks? anti-aircraft defense is doing its best and will continue to do its best, the question is not our endurance, but the question of help , we will have to have something to do it, today we are, well , probably almost 100% dependent on the support of the west, because, well, we cannot we produce today, rocket-class, land, air, yes, we have aviation missiles there up to the fighter,

but i have already said that the fighter jets are not designed to shoot down such targets, although they are doing their best, so we will need missiles for such systems as nasams, ayisti, patriot, other systems that are in ukraine today, probably in another, in greater numbers , if the enemy will increase the intensity of shelling by cruise missiles and drones, as well as a ppolgo radio search, we would have more cheetahs, and whether you have these or other french systems, such as crotal, these are already unfired guns, and this air defense of maly radio court, uh, there's more... the avengers are american, there's raven, there's the hawks, we need more means to destroy the enemy. mr. yury, i would also like to ask about such information, about the fact that drones hit the parking lot of russian helicopters in the russian city of sochi, the russian telegram channel shot wrote that it was allegedly the armed forces that first attacked the krasnodar region with anti-aircraft missiles, then wrote that this is most likely a bapela

pd2, here is the first question, could it be bairaktars, or will they allow... the characteristics of this drone such flights and in what what is the importance of this helicopter park in sochi? bayraktar is a good machine, which helped us a lot in the first days of the war, which took part in various operations, in particular in the cruiser moskva, that is, it will already go down in history, songs are written about it and so on , they wrote, but now, well, fly to sochi , bayraktar would not be able to do it, it’s just ridiculous, it was destroyed simply and that’s all, so it’s probably still something striking, well, that’s why, well, you see, the enemy also uses such bayraktarar analogues, such as mahajer 6, iranian drone, it will never actually fly into the zone of damage of our air defense, because it will be destroyed, that's all that can be said about it. i thank you for the information

they gave on our broadcast, on svoboda ranok, yuriy ignat, spokesman for the air force of the armed forces of ukraine, was our guest. program, then we talk about the situation in sochi, but the day before ukrainian drones hit the parking lot of russian helicopters in the city of sochi, which is in the krasnodar region of russia, this information was confirmed to the public a source in ukrainian intelligence, according to the publication, the details of what type of helicopters and how many were at the site are unknown, and the mayor of sochi, oleksiy kupayhorskyi, confirmed the drone, however, according to him, the russian pp allegedly destroyed the drone. at the same time, the russian telegram channel shot noted that the zsu was attacked for the first time by bayraktar tb-2 drones in the krasnodar territory, namely the city of sochi located there. it is a turkish strike operational-tactical drone with a long flight duration, capable of performing remotely controlled or autonomous flights however, the mezh telegram channel says that it was a pd-2 multi-purpose drone that

was already used in russia. another telegram, the russian telegram channel b. allegedly showed the very moment of the drone explosion in the krasnodar territory. the russian ministry of defense confirmed the drone attack on the territory of the krasnodar region, and also there announced five drones in the territory of the smolensk region, which they also said shot down the russian air defense forces. and the ministry of defense of russia reported on the alleged two downed grom-2 missiles, the fragments of which fell on the territory dzhankosy district of the occupied crimea. the head of russia appointed by the kremlin. of the crimean administration, serhii akonov reported that the debris of the rockets damaged the warehouse, according to him , there were no casualties, pavlo olekiychuk, the head of security programs of the strategy 21 center for global studies, joins our broadcast now, i congratulate you. good morning, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, yuriy ignat just said on our air that

the bayraktar could not have reached sochi unnoticed like that, in your opinion, after all, is there a probability that it was the bayraktar or maybe it's a different drone after all? well, from the video it is clear that this is a two-kilometer action device, and those options are proposed by experts, well, it is quite possible, but as for the boyraktar, the boyraktar is not a barrage munition, and it strikes with suspended underwings, small missiles, and it can be used as a drone kamika, well, in my opinion, this would not be quite right, and considering the range of its flight , so most likely it is some other kind of copter, you know, someone from ukroboronprom

said about two weeks ago that we have under development 136 different uavs are currently being produced and developed, it is clear that some have two or three copies, others are already being produced in dozens, maybe even hundreds, so you can’t say which ones specifically, because actually, for each task you can to make a drone, pick up a drone, and use it with maximum efficiency , let's not... guess what specifically hit, exactly hit, the enemy airfield with a ukrainian means of defeat, but tell me in more detail how important this airfield is, what helicopters are located there? well, to be honest i was preparing for the broadcast, i am thinking about telling about enemy tactical aviation, or telling

about enemy naval aviation, probably not, here the most important strike on the airfield in sochi is that it is similar to the recent strike in pochkalovsk, there is such an airfield near moscow, where government aviation is based there, well, the most important military aviation is different there and the government planes, the same applies to sochi , sochi is, well, the second, second location number two of vladimir putin and his close ones and arrives via chkalovskoye, arrives via sochi, and why should the kremlin shudder to think, what are the beraktars, ugh, or non-bayraktars, since you say that it is no longer important, it is interesting, that is, these are government helicopters, not military or military that serve the kremlin, this airfield hosts

partial and border , helicopters, this is a helipad, an airfield, and border helicopters and helicopters of the state security service of theirs, which serves high-ranking officials. and is there any information somewhere, is it possible to understand, well, what losses the russian side suffered, were there any sights are effective for hitting from the ukrainian side, well, there is not yet one that is generally available, we usually wait for another day and a half and they will appear, someone will definitely post satellite images, which will be quite easy to determine what flew where . once again, well, the very essence of this strike, not even which helicopter and how many helicopters were destroyed, but the fact that we

showed putin that we are reaching this airfield of his, that the flights will arrive, this is the time when a personal warning will arrive for him, on they flew to chkalovsk, they flew to sochi, let them be there they think, well, of course, if one, two, three, or four helicopters are destroyed, this is such an additional bonus that is always needed. in addition to sochi, there are reports of other targets in russia on bransk energo buildings, in the smolensk region, drones were over the bilhor region, in the occupied crimea, two missiles were shot down by the russian ministry of defense. in your opinion, what are the goals of the ukrainian forces that are currently prioritized when we talk about the territory of russia, about the occupied territories, energy, military bases, or as you say, those close to putin place so that he understood that the ukrainian forces were reaching him?

well, last fall, zaluzhny and zabrodskyi wrote the following program article about what the strategy of the armed forces of ukraine is and what the tasks are for the 23rd year and the main, main advantage at the time, at that time of the enemy, they... stated that what he can inflict, he can strike with impunity to the entire depth of the territory of ukraine, that is why they set the task for 2023, it is to find the capabilities, for an adequate response, strikes on ukraine should not be with impunity, and i i think that it is obvious already for september. and yellow, including the 23rd year, it is obvious that this task, the armed forces of ukraine, er, and our industry, those who produce one or

another means of defeat, they achieved it and fulfilled it, fulfilled it in a classy way, of course, the first task that all means of destruction perform, and perform, must perform and will perform... is to weaken the enemy, the armed forces of the enemy, because this is the number one task, bleeding the enemy, this is ensuring the offensive and, in general, the capabilities of our forces, this the capabilities of the infantry, everything that is destroyed in the enemy's rear, strengthens our, our front line , eh, the second task, which is already being traced, is the elimination of the enemy's superiority at sea and in the air, well, at sea separately, drones and missiles are partially working there and naval

drones. in the air, this is the destruction of missiles, enemy aircraft, on airfields, one american general said that the best air defense that can be provided for the united states is to destroy, aircraft, missile carriers on airfields, on warehouses, on points basing, which is done by our er, different means of defeat in different directions , and the third, well, this is more, it seems to me, a psychological factor, these are strikes not yet at the decision-making points, but at the elements of the control network, when it arrives to moscow, flies to the suburbs of moscow, flies to sochi, for now, in my opinion, these are test

strikes and sooner or later we will also destroy the enemy's control network to the full depth, that is, the headquarters of the black sea fleet is such a first swallow , interesting, thank you for the inclusion, about strikes on the territory of russia occupied ukrainian territories, spoke together with the head of security programs of the strategy 21 global studies center pavlo lakiychuk was our guest. thank you. this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrech. and further in this stream we talk about such topics. special operation barenya , a russian serviceman recruited by the ukrainian gur convinced 11 russian military armies to surrender. how this operation was prepared and implemented. we will hear the details from a representative of the main directorate of intelligence. wait. on the parliamentary ones the pro-russian ex-prime minister won the elections in slovakia, despite other exit poll forecasts and is already calling to stop

helping. ukraine is at war with russia. hungary does not allow to unblock 500 million euros from the eu military fund for ukraine, the usa voted for a temporary budget without aid for kyiv. what does all this mean, will ukraine find itself alone with the aggressor country in this war. and you can ask your questions to the speakers of our morning show just below this stream and also don't forget to like and subscribe on the radio svoboda channel. early parliamentary races are coming to an end in ukraine's neighboring slovakia. according to calculations, the party of pro-russian ex-prime minister robert fizo is winning. his political power , the social democracy course, received about 23% of the vote, while the liberal pro-ukrainian party progressive slovakia gained almost 18%. in the third place according to the results of vote counting , the vote of the former prime minister, peter pelligrini, of the center-left party, which is also under...

ukraine in the fight against russian aggression. robert fitso previously advocated the cancellation of military aid to ukraine. now, after the vote was tallied, the rhetoric has not changed. at the press conference after the vote , the politician said that slovakia has its own problems. maybe it's just words for now, but it's crystal clear. i repeat, our position regarding ukraine is clearly formed. our position remains unchanged regarding our statements before the parliament. elections, i want to remind you that slovakia has different problems than ukraine. in ukraine. in the election campaign, the former prime minister did not only oppose supplies armaments in ukraine, but also declared the ineffectiveness of western sanctions against russia and threatened to block ukraine's accession to nato. robert fizo also said that if he is entrusted to form a government, he will try to organize peace talks. it is expected that

today the president of slovakia. zozana chaputova will instruct fitso to form a new government, and despite the victory, he will have to form a coalition to obtain a majority in the parliament with parties that support the transfer of arms to ukraine. roberta fitzo is called an ambiguous political figure. last year, he was accused of creating a criminal group together with the ex-minister of internal affairs, and he ended his previous term as prime minister early after a local journalist was killed in slovakia. jan kuciak in 2018, he and his bride were found shot dead in their own home. the murder sparked mass protests in slovakia demanding an end to the mafia's influence in the country. my colleague, rostyslav khotin, columnist of radio svoboda, joins our broadcast. congratulations rostislav tell us what these election results mean for ukraine, whether kyiv can no longer count on slovakia's support, or whether

pro-ukrainian forces can still form. coalition, and how did the vote go in general.
