greetings, this is svoboda live on radio svoboda. we have already approached the snake itself. the following shots may shock you. news from the scene. live kamikaze drone attacks. political analytics, objectively and meaningfully. there is no political season, exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front. shot. li's freedom is frank and unbiased. you draw your own conclusions. the war in ukraine is the main topic for ukrainians. wins and losses. analysis and forecasts, politics and geopolitics. sergey will talk about all this rudenko and guests of his program. people who have information and shape public opinion. people that. ukraine and create the future

right now, the main and interesting thing in the program is verdict by serhiy rudenko, from monday to friday at 20:00, repeat at 12:10. so, let's continue the conversation with pyotr chernyk, a military expert, and before that we, and we were joined by mykola volokhov, he is the commander of the tera air reconnaissance unit as part of the third separate assault brigade, congratulations mykola, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, let's go then let's start right away

bakhmudskyi direction, where mykola himself can tell us more: here, we have a report that now the fiercest battles are going on near andriivka, why exactly are these fierce battles going on there, can you explain why it is so concentrated on this point, this battlefield, you know, it can be different, and in the direction of andriivka, the enemy has lost positions, and now he is making great efforts to restore them, well, in general, the entire bakhmut direction is very impressive to the russians, and the loss of any settlements is very painful for them, they trying to recover to take andriivka back, but i will tell you in secret that they are doing quite badly , it is going quite badly, we took her for a long time , but we found the key, we found the tactical techniques that should be used in order to succeed, and you see, and

we still use them and achieve success, well, i understand that there, as it were, in andriyivka district , ukrainian forces have already been able to cross the railway, which for the russians, well, it has become like, well, a border, another border of defense, i understand correctly, well you know, when i comment on anything, i always try not to be a source of intelligence information for the enemy, i myself as an intelligence officer, i look at the blogs of the russians who are about us, they very often show us positions that are worth striking, we are guided by this, i would not like the russians to receive information from our news , maybe they passed, maybe they didn’t, but we are moving forward, ugh, and as far as there is also a message, well, it is clear that if there are hellish battles, then the artillery eyes of all duels have increased, but also, as if it has increased all

the same and yes, the participation of aviation in the battles of russia, is it so, is it really happening now, or how preschool is it anyway? unfortunately, unfortunately, this is true, for quite a long time , more than a month, russia is actively using helicopters, actively using attack aircraft, and this is a really big problem, cabs are a big problem, guided bombs. the big problem is anti-tank missiles that are launched from helicopters, and in fact, when there is talk that we need aviation, yes, first of all we need aviation, as an adequate countermeasure to enemy aviation, first of all, really, it is very bothers, and we spent a lot of time on to adapt and figure out how to act in these conditions, how to use technology. how to support the infantry during

offensive operations, well, it was still adapted, but i will repeat again russian helicopters, a very painful thing for us, here. and it is better, of course, that they do not exist, i think that providing us with aviation, a sufficient number of missiles , air-air will solve this issue, huh, mr. peter, that is, mykola, told us that helicopters are bothering us a lot, but also under kup' in yansk, we have already started talking with you about this, about the fact that the bridges were destroyed, with such long-range ... kabs, well, that is, they were able to rework their air bombs there, they are not helicopters, they are already such an aviation component, they made them manned and destroy bridges, and in general, now the impression is that the russians, well, as if they went to

some kind of new stage of using these aerial bombs, it was already discussed that there are not 500 , but it seems that there are 1,500 they are trying, well , there are some, where here... what is really a threat here, where are the myths, where here, well, how to counteract this, in principle, there really are no myths here and there cannot be, but that they have moved to a new level, they had this weapon, they have it in quite a large quantity , the most advanced bomb that is teaching us now is just under 1,500, we understand that 1,300 kg of explosives, or another 200 kg and somewhere for equipment, is an incredible amount , it is impossible to intercept the bomb itself. it is impossible, but you can fight with the carrier, the main carriers are the su-30 and the su-35 , the bomb itself, it plans to reach within 70 km, if we finally had a full-fledged aviation, i mean the f-16, then they have such a wonderful rocket in their kit

ei120, amram in version d or ufaza, can deliver strikes up to 180 km, so we understand how the 1/2 body overlaps. the speed of the aircraft in supersonic indicators is 2400 km, the radar allows you to independently pick up a target at a distance of up to 340 km, that is, to calculate it, plus it is a network-centric machine that can receive a whole layout directly from satellites, we understand that gps is far from the civilian system that we use the phone to lay the route under the chasriv, it's actually 98%, it's a military system, but the question is, when will those f16 finally reach us and what nomenclature of weapons they can take, in addition to aim 120 amram and with the help of short-range missiles such as aim 9, side winder is the most productive missile that exists in nature, in the entire history since the late 50s, it is manufactured, about 200 targets ,

as well as up to 70 km aim7 missile, sparrow will be very useful in the fight against helicopters , including, again, we have to be patient and wait. when aviation finally appears, another way except for portable anti-aircraft missile systems or say such as avenger machines in close radius of up to 7 km and other complexes like mistral, starstreak and so on, enough of them have been handed over to us, our colleagues will not fight with these goals, especially in a strategic sense. and how far, in general, are these planes from the front line, from which they are trying to drop these factories. if this is all the case, that is, how is it that we have just said this, we have just spoken about it, the range of the task of the strike is controlled, and if it is correct, if at all very correct, then it is not controlled, but corrected, then it is not the same thing, then there is an essential difference in these two war terms,

the range of the mission is 70 km, so if a bomb arrives along the demarcation line over a bridge or something else, then we understand that how, that the plane must approach the demarcation line by 70 km, and as a rule, they still make this clearance. reserve for his own reversal, then they add 5, 7, 10, well, each tactical situation and each and every combat sortie, this is really mathematics, well, that is, in fact, only new planes can do something about it now, there and yes, planes, in general, it would be fantastic if the 39th krypen appeared, krypen has the only plane in the world, no, sorry, not the only one, in the western world the only missile that has a range of up to 300 ki meteor, there is such a missile in the russian s, r-37, but they have problems with aiming, that is, the range they have, a long 300 km, but in this air battle the most important thing is to fit in, here, here lies the answer, and here the russians will lose to the americans many times over, ugh, thank you

, it’s clear, mykola, let’s go back to the actual situation in the bakhmutu district, say this, here well, there were reports that it seems... the wagnerites appeared there, someone else appeared, well now i don't even want to ask you whether you saw them there or not , i'm more interested in something else, what 's happening there right now is that the russians have pulled up additional forces and are trying, well, how to carry out such an attack, or is it theirs there are defensive, exclusively defensive battles, how do you assess it? well, what is happening now is called an attempt to restore the position they lost, well, this is the command they are given, they say, gentlemen have lost their positions, fight them back, what is there under...' new types of meat from the wagnerites

or something like that, well, the wagnerites did not disappear from there, then, in principle, when the now-deceased prigozhin led his council to moscow, this does not mean that everyone left there, someone remained, but someone returned there already after this action, so i wouldn't say it's a planned operation, a counter-attack to our offensive actions, to me it looks like just a, you know, standard army effort, after you're attacked, you have to counter-attack, you have to try to regain the ground , while the thieves are not managed to gain a foothold there, and i see in this now only such efforts, no more coordinated operation, so much more, something that we have not seen, what more. for what we see every day, i don't observe, and what kind of attacks are these

, these are attacks by small groups, these are attacks by using, there are tanks, what exactly, what, or well, how does it look now, infantry, exclusively infantry , and artillery, their armored vehicles, well, now they are so intimidated by our half-buckets of kamikaze that they are afraid to approach at all, tanks are approaching and practice with... fire positions, and then, i would say, very, very frightened and very imprecise, let's just say, they simply perform the task, because it exists, the landing of infantry also takes place at a very long distance, well, since the armored vehicles are afraid to come closer, the experience is that when it crosses a certain border, i won't say how many kilometers, yes, it is immediately struck by a drone, so the infantry has to cover very long distances on foot. and actually while overcoming these distances on foot, they become hostile for those samichrons, for our artillery, well, not

i will, so to speak, emphasize attention, but we see everything, absolutely the entire area of ​​responsibility, as it is handed to us, is under the constant observation of our drones, is the railway such, you know, a key boundary, or in principle, what is there cross the railway, is there any further? is it possible to defend or not, because further on we see a road there, which is important for them in principle for supplying bakhmut himself and this whole group, but how exactly in this plan, well, of course, there is a railway important, the railway is such a certain man-made line that you can dig into, along which you can build defenses and along which the russians maintained their defenses, and certainly the fact that we entered it is actually a great achievement, because

of course they defended very purposefully and it was visible , that they have no intention of giving it easily or giving it away at all, therefore, of course, control over the railway, it facilitates the defense and creates, accordingly creates, if everything is organized correctly, a good platform for the development of offensive actions and for moving forward, but how do you assess now whether they are trying to build some kind of, well, you know, a serious line of defense there, when they are there, you know, digging, burying something, concrete, that's all, or so far there is no talk of it, well, the russians at all are famous for the fact that they know how to dig well, they dig well and they dig in principle all the time, and even during stormy actions , it was observed not... once when stormy actions are directly taking place, and the russian is digging, well, i don't know what's wrong with him it happened, maybe he got a concussion and

performed the rest of the function that he had there in his head, and maybe he really wanted to improve somehow, somehow improve his shelter, so definitely, they are digging, they are mining, they are preparing, and this is actually happening all the time, all the positions that they get, they try to spend all the time. well, we wish you success, there, hold on and advance, well, as much as possible, thank you mykola volokhov for joining us, this. the commander of the ter air reconnaissance unit as part of the third separate assault brigade in bakhmut district and mr peter, let's see, well, we basically talked about bahmud, let's look at in the south, where in principle we have such rather difficult attempts to expand this, well, i don't know how it would be

a breakthrough, a breakthrough, which in the area work took place, and can we say that there has now arisen, you know, to a certain extent , a situation where there is some kind of balance between our forces and the enemy's forces, and something additional is needed in order to shift this balance to that or the other side, because we know that the russians drove a sufficiently large force there, that is, there they added paratroopers there, they added equipment there, they added everything there, so much power is concentrated on this narrow section of the front, and how could it be possible to shift this balance, actually? in general, your opinion is quite serviceable, correct, only i would call this word not balance, because balance is when we are dug in, they are dug in and we endlessly exchange artillery, artillery strikes and no one

moves anywhere, the artillery work just goes and goes, this is rather equilibrium, here it will be more correct to use the term... routine, everything turned into routine, we really did what you called one such interesting word, it is actually called a bridgehead, a bridgehead and it is, approximately 10 by 10 km, it is quite serious, quite good, what should we understand by this yes the so-called surovikin line, we are somewhere in the middle , i.e. the first, heaviest support line, where everything was planted with mines, up to five mine-explosive devices per meter, an incredible amount, nothing. like the times of the second world war, except for the iran-iraq war, there was that, there was also everything everywhere, mines, i see it with my own eyes, in 2004, and now we have entered the second line, the main line, it is here that there will be very heavy battles now, i share the opinion of my young colleague that the russians really know how to dig, and here they have built a huge network

tunnels, chances, all kinds of cocoons, dugouts, pits, dugouts, equipped positions for artillery, for hidden fire, artillery and the like, it will be very difficult to pass it, when the axis will go more fun and could it go more fun 100% so, if with appeared a sufficient amount of long-range not even artillery, because there is just enough artillery, long-range missiles , to knock out all their logistics at a distance of 100-150 km, so that nothing reaches the front line, for combat you need cartridges, for small arms, for artillery you need shells, people they need food, food, medicines and drinking water. water, and if at a distance from berdan to berdyansk in this interval, everything that moves from railway echelons to banal convoys of cars was knocked out, then in a few weeks the situation would 100% change to ours benefit, that's what we really lack, and look, when you look at the map

, there is such an important point, height 166, for which they constantly say that there are battles, or how important this point is, you can explain? my comrade-in-arms, a colleague, that's what i'll call him, as soon as he gave us all, gave the right signal, supported him, well, why , well, why analyze the point, well, you know, sometimes i even reach such not entirely pleasant emotions, when such questions they ask, but we give the enemy intelligence information, well, then we won’t, really, but look, we also know that the russians are now trying to build... some new road, as they reported along there mariupol, berdyansk, a railway, why are they doing this, why for them, well it is important to do it, how would you rate it? there is here, there is a strategic rational grain here for them and it has several planes, but there is also strategic good news for us, well, maybe good

news, the russians realize that we can break through the southern front and reach the northern position. that is, conditionally get established somewhere, conditionally, once again, because i don’t know how it will be, to get a foothold somewhere in the region of the milk estuary and cut, cut the land border to the crimea, plus, plus the thing called atakams, he is not talkative about it, like how joe biden already sanctioned it, so far we don’t have a solid confirmation of such quality, it can launch strikes up to 300 km, and from kirchi, let’s say, to gulyai field 250 km, so these missiles can destroy the crimean bridge with a large salvo, it is the main logistical artery, so they, they they think so the eastern plazdar, we will leave the blood of demolition behind us, and this eastern plazdar must be fed in some way , ammunition must be brought to it and so on, everything that is necessary cannot be delivered by trucks, roads, and there are not enough roads in the sense that

they calculate it for themselves, we need a railway, because, let's say, an ordinary kamaz takes 60 shells on board, and the same 50 -ton railway car takes 500 shells on board, well, there is a difference, and we understand that an echelon is not two, not three wagons, there are dozens of wagons, 340, they calculated it all, came to the conclusion that these arteries should be improved , that is, you know, a double, double impression or double assessment, on the one hand, this is a good signal for us, because they understand that the south is more likely than anything else, what will be lost, and on the other hand, they are making every effort to do everything possible to keep the eastern plazdarm, that is, the old occupied territories, plus mariupol at any cost , well, and this also indicates that, well, if they will have this artery, they will rather, that's all, because the railway still gives such an opportunity to deliver quite quickly, as far as i understand, it is definitely a valid conclusion, but a sufficient number

of atakams missiles can solve this problem, how vulnerable this railway will be, well , let's suppose when they they can build, how much time is needed to build a railway, there are three months, i am not an expert in transport technologies, but i am from general erudition, let's say, knowing how it happened in the second world war, well, so quickly the necessary arteries were laid and soviet alliance and the wehrmacht troops, it seems to me that with the potential that russia has, that it retains, in the spring these railroad threads can already be fully operational. and how vulnerable they will be, that is interesting, i.e. how much can be said about the stability of the work of such and such an artery for the russians, i will go a little into military philosophy, there are no goals that cannot be achieved. exists in nature, the question is only in what way they are achieved, what are they achieved and with what frequency, uh, uh, if we talk about all this

the southern front, that is, we are now and in principle all concentrated there in the area of ​​work, on the verbovoy area, here are all the movements, there are literally 100 m there, 100 m here, but in addition there are two more bridgeheads, this is ugledar and next to it, as it were you described how events could potentially develop in those directions, so very much , i understood, you were showing the map, there are two big red spots and one gray or green, as if shaded, this green spot, green spot, this the old occupation, or the old demarcation line, i still don't understand how it is pass, i will explain with a very simple example. and they can't go to diivka and marienko, they can't, why? because we have seriously strengthened it for 8 years, and now let's do the opposite with exact precision

, but they are also strengthening theirs, and in the part concerning the density of urban development, they have a much better position, matsyupusenky bakhmut, they are still not fully took, as they would like it, there are still points where we work, and the heights are ours, but they did not come out of it, that it is 70. of the population, well, i do, especially the western audience will understand me clearly, it is like a city of strays, and now we imagine donetsk, how serious a city it is, how concrete everything is, how seriously everything is fortified there, and i will emphasize, i am somewhat engaged in military history, no one took donbass head on , no one, not even manstein, refused to dig in there, because he understood that cutting off logistics was the end for him, he was aware of it, in russia it is exactly the opposite... everything is fine with the logistics of the donetsk conglomerate, so i cannot give an adequate answer yet, and what how will it be there

to take place, there is strategic stability, that is, there really is a real balance, a real balance that has lasted the entire war since the full-scale invasion, in order to proceed to a serious analysis of this segment of the conduct of hostilities, the southern front must be resolved and only then will we decide what to do next including mariupol and donetsk, well. but in particular, the russians now have such attempts, you see, they are reactivating actions around avdiivka, they are very actively bombarding avdiivka, they are very much counting, judging by everything, on exactly this, what you and i have already talked about, that is, their guided air bombs are heavy, and the fact that they have become bigger, well, that is, it is difficult to evaluate, i understand that it is difficult to evaluate these efforts of theirs, but how much the russians ... from your point of view in view , great powers can throw themselves at this particular task, as far as they have reserves, resources to try to achieve something in

avdiivka. infantry resources were and will be, and where they will succeed, at what point, well, we remember the most important rule of all warriors without exception, without exception, in all human history, war - this is the way of deception, and the ability to come up with one's intentions is the highest art that only exists in the conduct of hostilities, therefore one must prepare for it and understand that there may be an intensification of hostilities anywhere, it may happen, but again in a strategic sense , i emphasize the most important thing, we are in a state of attack. sides, this is a phenomenon in itself, the 15th army of the world, in terms of potential, this is how we are calculated at the moment, advancing on the second army of the world, i will not say that this is a rare case in history, there are such cases, the six-day war in israel 1967 , to be exact namely, the israelis literally in six days developed a giant arab coalition of a dozen and a half countries, they lost in everything, in a personal team of five they lost to

their enemy, it is possible. but this is a rare phenomenon, as a rule, those who have a numerical advantage attack us, exactly the opposite, we will analyze this historical phenomenon after the war. and look, in general , it's quite interesting , but they had a lot of hopes and such expectations and public statements about two months ago, here is kupyansk, we are moving there to kupyansk, in we have such an offensive on kupyansk, the offensive on kupyansk has already ended today, they have begun an offensive on avdiivka. this also shows something, it shows that in a strategic sense they are exhaling, but most importantly, i am terribly afraid of those narratives that, unfortunately, are sometimes raised in our copper platforms, that everything will be fine tomorrow, the day after tomorrow , just a little bit more and everything will be fine, but no, the war is existential, the war is either us them, or they us us, well, there will be no third, if we capitulate, to us guaranteed genocide, which will not happen to anyone, they will do it without

fail. if they capitulate, well, they will continue to live there in their swamps, no one will commit genocide against them, but there is, for the most important moment, russian history, probably starting with the basils, who were there in the 14th century, especially with the first king of to the real tyrant of ivan the terrible, this is the endless tyranny of one person, and no one there voluntarily gives up power, they are either from old age, or they are killed, such phenomena as yeltsin, well this a huge rarity in their history, putin fights to his death for his own life, he is a relatively young man, he is absolutely healthy from a biological point of view, he understands perfectly well, a military defeat in ukraine is the full price, he will die, he will be hanged, poisoned, his the path will be hit, the heart will hurt and the like, he knows all this, so he will fight to the death, if it is necessary to kill 3 million russians in ukraine, he will kill them, well,

we should probably not expect such... that they will somehow calm down there in in connection with the weather or with the nature of the combat action, they can switch to another quality, but by no means will calm down in the near future, probably this can also be thought, intelligent thought, they are modified, modified, the weather will partially pass, because heavy equipment will not go on the ground, but the equipment can travel on roads, the road network is high, we are very successfully destroying their artillery, that is , combat operations will be in the same tonality as last winter, only in a slightly different way, you will be executed in a tactical sense. thank you, it was petro chernyk, well, actually chronicles, wars, see you in a week, that's how we say goodbye to you today, and the tv channel espresso continues his, well, work, look, stay with us.

good afternoon to everyone from espresso, this is news, anna javamelnik is with you, and i'll start with the fact that in the black sea there are up to five missile carriers on duty, at the same time two more in the sea of ​​azov, there the total salvo of calibers can reach up to eight missiles, about this was announced by the spokesman of the naval forces, dmytro pletenchuk. according to him. calibers enter sevastopol less often, because they feel the danger of an attack. the russians may cause a radiation accident at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. occupiers do not comply with the requirements of the state nuclear regulation license - the national company energoatam said. experts note that the invaders took the fourth power unit out of the cold state.
