novakha, which is shot from the zes. in addition, they are similar logistics arteries, they lead from taganrog through mariupol and berdyansk all the way to melitopol. battle for bakhmut. the armed forces of ukraine continued their offensive south of bakhmut this week. the bloodiest battles are taking place near andriyivka, where the armed forces of ukraine are trying to hold the recaptured sections of the front from the eastern side of the railway embankment, and in some places they are trying to develop success in the direction of odraivka. at the same time, the defense forces continue to destroy the occupiers in kurdyumivtsi. the local garrison is already severely depleted, so if reinforcements do not arrive here in the next few days, the armed forces of ukraine will eventually be able to de-occupy this strategically important village for us. however , the rashists returned the wagnerites to bakhmut and resumed the counteroffensive on klishchiivka. at the moment it is useless, as a result, the leadership replaced lieutenant general sechov, who was in charge of this section of the front, and the guys came for him. in

a black uniform and taken to an unknown destination. from smolensk to sochi, strikes on the russian federation. strike drones of the armed forces on october 1, the smolensk avizavod, which produced kh-59 missiles, was attacked, it is known for certain that three out of four drones hit the target, and the production process was disrupted. on the same day , other ukrainian drones hit the airfield in sochi, where the rotorcraft were parked. another strike by the armed forces was made nearby. the strikes of our drones indicate to the allies that the air force can destroy targets far away in the russian body even without western missiles, probably this can speed up the delivery of messi taurus attack missiles to ukraine. let's win daily, death to enemies. well, of course, you can do something with drones without missiles, but it is better with missiles. well, with us today is petro chernyk, a military expert. greetings, mr. peter. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. and you know.

let's start with this phrase that was used, the battle of the reserves, how would you decipher it, what is happening, what does the battle of the reserves mean, what is the meaning of this phrase? it is implied that whoever better preserves his reserves and uses them as late as possible, will have better dynamic, better strategic dynamics. at this moment, the russians applied, which is at least its main, very important resource within. of the 25th army and this means that they really have very serious problems and they understand that at least the southern bridgehead can be collapsed by the ukrainians, but there is a very serious nuance here, take your time in the part that concerns raising a positive emotional bar, which is they say that everything is over, until the end of their great resources, i remind you, they declare from open sources that they have a mobilization resource of human potential from 15 to 3 million people, this is an incredible amount. which is quite

far. well, in addition, there are also material resources that the russians can also use, and in view of this, it is interesting , simply, let's discuss a little, this, well, the forum that took place, on military technologies, on the production of actual weapons in ukraine , where there were 50, there are about 50 manufacturers, what could he give us, what kind of weapons production could we be talking about and, in principle, what actions... we could produce what we currently either do not produce, or produce in insufficient quantities quantity, and ukraine has the potential to produce absolutely everything with exception attack aircraft, starting from a family of serious missile launchers, let's say like lahn, unfortunately six of them were sold in vietnam, they didn't build one, starting from t-84 armored vehicles, a very serious tank, unfortunately, they also didn't manage to put it on. .. artillery, including

bohdan's 155-millimeter cannon , was developed, ending with a huge number of drones, other bro armored vehicles and even small arms with rockets , including small arms. time was developing missiles of a strategic order, that is, the development of missiles of an operational-tactical order, including, they we have developed in the expression of thunder peregrine is quite possible. in our case , there were not many weapons. what should we understand from this forum, well, it is not so important, well, it is important, of course, what is the number of weapons that will be produced, but this is not really a strategic detail, the strategic detail is that large manufacturers are ready to come to ukraine, to ukraine, bayraktar said it was ready to build the plant, rheinmetall also announced who is ready for such a conversation, and even the american arms manufacturers, this is actually the most interesting thing, are also ready to enter ukraine , what does this mean, deciphering from business

language to understandable, as they say in cash, to boys' language, this means that in in a strategic sense, ukraine definitely breaks away from the geopolitical holon of moscow, why, the arms business. very delicate, it is the most difficult business that exists in nature, to build an aircraft carrier readable attack submarine is many times more difficult and expensive than to build the international space station or a space rocket, these people do not mince words, if they say that they will enter , then this is a strategic, historical sign, i do not exaggerate, that we are breaking out of what is called moscow imperialism, but again, time, time and time again, these are projections on and not on the moon, well, that is, objectively speaking, when, for example, we are talking about the construction of the west there and the construction of some, i don't know, tanks there, not tanks, something like that, then it is no no it's not about what will happen, it's next year, it's sooner

we are talking about some rather distant prospect, a tank school, to fully build it, fully, as it should, under one model taken, it is 5-7 years, that is what we are used to in the soviet union. to call the nomenclature by a number, let's say t-84, then this is exactly the year when the t-80 was conceptually put into production, this is the year when the t-80 was conceptually put into production, let's take the example of t72 and t-80, so t-72 is the 72nd year, t80, this is the 80th year, there is a difference of 8 years between them, that is, these are really years, of course, the technology of modern metal cutting, have moved, let's say, from a classic milling machine to this, everything speeds up, improves, and so on , but again, weapons are modern, incredibly complex technological processes, and these are not only technological processes, but also political and electoral ones, and when it comes to

drones, can it be faster, much, of course, it can be faster, the eighth physical and technical revolution in the quality of weapons is on the march, there are drones, let’s say already established, australian drones, which are made practically from cardboard, such a thing can be built, well, in fact, there are several weeks for professionals, but they inflict a preschool blow on a wide variety of objects. once again, drones enter the military classical science as a new re-revolutionary technique, but i must emphasize, not as revolutionary as we would like, this war showed that the classic artillery of the first world, not even the second, but the first world, returned itself themselves into life, well, actually planes, yes, because what we see now is happening, when along the front line in the kupyansk region, the bridges are the russians, so they are destroying the air force itself, this it's annoying that we can't answer, let's talk about it in more detail after the commercials, now there's a commercial break, and

then we'll look at the battlefield in more detail, well , i would say yes. forum viya kartya. presents a unique book event , a literary and artistic meeting word in war, exclusive conversations with military writers and volunteers. book discussion, author presentations, special children's program, performances by bards. october 14 and 15 in ivano-frankivsk, the square in front of the drama theater. word in the war on via karpattia in ivano-frankivsk. talented, relevant, truthful, with the support of the ukrainian institute of books under the protection of our military. the child caught the virus. mother vira has faith in dekasan, inhaled dekasan enters the lungs, where the dekasan virus acts, mother vira is happy, dekasan inhalation is an antidote to viruses and bacteria, dekasan is an inhalation antiseptic. when pain stops time, choose afida max with arginine, in sachets rather

we are telling the main thing. on weekdays at 9:00. well, so we continue the conversation with pyotr chernyk, a military expert, and before that we, and mykola volokhov joined us, 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 heroes. let's start from the bakhmud direction, where mykola himself can tell us more, but we have information that the fiercest battles are currently taking place near andriivka, why are these fierce battles taking place there, can you explain why there is so much focus on this little town, this battlefield , you know, it can be different, and in the direction of andriivka, the enemy has lost positions, and now he is making a very big... effort to restore them, well, in general, the whole of bakhmut

direction, it is very important for the russians, and the loss of any population centers is very painful for them, they are trying to recover, to take andriyivka back, but i will tell you in secret that they are doing quite badly, it is going quite badly, we have her for a long time they took, but they found the key, they found the tactical techniques that should be used in order to succeed, and you see, we are still succeeding using them, well, i understand that there, as if in andriivki district, ukrainian forces were already able to cross the railway , which for the russians, well, became like this, as if like a line, another line of defense, i understand correctly, you know, when i comment on anything, i always try not to be a source of intelligence information for the enemy, i myself as a intelligence officer, i look at the blogs of the russians who are opposite us, they are very interesting to us

often show positions that are worth impressing, we are guided by this, i would not like the russians to receive information from our news, maybe they have switched, maybe they have not switched, but we are moving forward, huh, and as far as the message is also, well, it is clear that with in if they go fierce battles... increased artillery fire, all duels, but also, as if the participation of aviation in russian battles has increased, is it so, is it really happening now, or how far-fetched is it in general? unfortunately, unfortunately, it's true, for quite a long time, more than a month, russia is actively using helicopters, actively targeting attack aircraft, and this is a really big... problem, cabs are a big problem, guided bombs, a big problem is

against , anti-tank missiles that are launched from helicopters, and in fact, when the conversations are going on about the fact that we need aviation, yes, first of all we need aviation as an adequate countermeasure to enemy aviation, first of all, it really bothers us a lot, and we spent a lot of time to... and to think of how we have to act in these conditions, how to use equipment, how to support the infantry during offensive operations, well, we still adapted, but i will repeat again the russian helicopters, a very painful thing for us, so it is better, of course, that they should not be there, i think that providing us with aviation, a sufficient number of missiles, air air will solve this issue, huh, mr. peter, that's right, mykola told us about

helicopters, but also near kupyansk, we already started talking to you about it. about the fact that the bridges were destroyed by such long-range missiles, 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 are destroying bridges, and in general, now it seems that the russians , well, as if they entered a certain, well, new stage of the use of these aerial bombs, it was already discussed that no no 500, that's it, but it seems there are 1,500, they are trying, well, some of them, where here , what is really a threat here, where are the myths, where are here, well, how to counter this, in principle, there really are no myths here and there should not be maybe, but it is said that they have gone to some new level, they had these weapons, they have them in quite a large

number, the most sophisticated bomb that is bothering us now is the one that fell 1500, we understand that 1300 kg of explosives. another 200 kg goes to the apparatus, this is an incredible amount, it is impossible to intercept the bomb itself, it is impossible, but you can fight with a carrier, the main carriers are the su-30 and su-35, the bomb itself, it plans to reach within 70 km, if we finally had a full-fledged aviation, i mean the f16, then they have such a very wonderful aim 120 missile, and madam in the d version, or in the h phase , can strike up to 108. 10 km, and therefore we understand how the body overlaps 1/2, the speed of the aircraft in supersonic indicators is 2400 km, the radar allows you to independently raise the target to distance up to 340 km, i.e. calculate it, plus it is a network-centric machine that can receive a whole lay directly from

satellites, we understand that gps is far from the civilian system that we use on the phone to plan the route during travels, it is actually on... it is a military system, but the question is when those f-16s will finally reach us and which the nomenclature of weapons they can bat, in addition to the aim 120 amram with the help of short-range missiles, such as the aim 9 side winderer, the most productive missile that exists in nature, in its entire history, since the end of the 50s, it has produced about 200 warheads, as well as up to 70 km missile aim7, sparrow will be very useful in the fight against'. in including, once again, we have to be patient and wait when aviation finally appears, another way, with the exception of portable anti-aircraft missile systems, or say such as avenger machines in a short radius of up to 7 km and other systems, such as mistral, starstreak

and so on, enough of them have been handed over to us by our colleagues, there will be no struggle with these goals, especially in a strategic sense, how far are these planes from the front line, from which they are trying to drop these fab cabs, this is all a matter, that is, how cheap are we just this they talked about the mission range of a guided strike, and if it is correct, if at all very correct, then it is not guided , but corrected, then it is not the same thing, then there is an essential difference in these two military terms, the mission range is 70 km, so if the bomb arrives at line of demarcation by a bridge or by something else, then we understand that how, that the plane to the line. should be suitable for 70 km, and as a rule, they also make this backlash of the reserve for its own turn, then they add 5, 7, 10, well, each tactical situation and each and every a sortie is really mathematics, well, in fact, only new planes can do something about it now, that's right, in general

, it would be fantastic if the just 39th grippen appeared, the grippen has the only plane in the world, no, sorry, not the only one . in the western world , the only missile that has a strike range of up to 300 km is the meteor. there is such a missile and the russian r-37, but they have problems with aiming, that is, they have a long range of 300 km, but in this air battle, the most important thing is aiming, here, here lies the answer, and here the russians lose many times over to the americans. ugh, thank you, it's clear, mykola, but let's get back to the actual situation in the district. bakhmut, uh, say this, there were reports that the wagnerites appeared there, someone else appeared, well, now i don't even want to ask you if you saw them there. i haven't seen them, i'm more interested in something else, that's what's happening there now, the russians have pulled up additional forces and are trying, well, as if

to carry out some kind of attack, or are they fighting 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 , the gentlemen say, they have lost their positions, fight them back, the fact that some new types of meat have been brought there, the wagnerites or something like that, well, the wagnerites did not disappear from there, so, in principle, when the now deceased prigozhin led his council to moscow, it does not mean that everyone left there, someone remained, but someone returned there already after this action, so... well, i wouldn't say that this is some kind of planned operation

counterattacks, in terms of our offensive actions, it looks to me like just a, you know, standard army effort, after you're attacked, you have to counterattack, you have to try to regain the lost position before the enemy has time to get a foothold there, and i see in now there are only such efforts, no more coordinated operation, yes, more of something that we have not seen , what is more than what we see every day, i do not observe, and what kind of attacks are these, these are attacks by small groups, this attacks using, there 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 that they are afraid to fire at all, tanks are approaching and working from closed firing positions , and then, i would say, very very scared and very imprecise, let's say this, they simply perform

the task because it is, the landing march is also repelled at a very long distance, well, since the armored vehicles are afraid to come closer, the experience is that when it crosses a certain limit, i will not say how much kilometers, so it immediately impresses her, drone, and, therefore, the infantry have to cover very long distances on foot, and actually, while covering these distances on foot, they become favorable for those samichrons, for our artillery, well, i won’t, no matter how to say, to emphasize, but we see everything, absolutely the entire area of ​​responsibility that has been handed over to us is under the constant observation of our drones, is the railway such, you know, a key border, or is it, in principle, that there is to cross the railway, there is still more the opportunity to defend themselves, or not very much, because further on we see a road there, which for them is in principle important for the supply

of bahmut itself and this whole group, but how exactly in this plan, well, of course, the railway is important, the railway is so a certain man-made line, into which you can dig in, along which you can build defenses, and the russians held the defense, and the fact that we entered it is actually a great achievement, because they defended, of course, very purposefully, and it was clear that there was no they have the intention of it is easy to give or give away at all, so of course, control of the railway, it facilitates the defense and creates , accordingly, creates, if ... organized, a good springboard for the development of offensive actions and for continuing to move forward, but how do you now assess whether they are trying are they going 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 is there no talk of it yet? well, russians are generally famous for the fact that they know how to dig well, they dig well and dig, they are in principle. constantly and even during assaults, they watched repeatedly when assaults were taking place directly, and the russian was dripping, well, i don’t know what happened to him, maybe he got a concussion and was performing the last function that was laid in his head, or maybe really wanted to improve somehow, improve their shelter somehow, so definitely, they're digging, they're mining, they're preparing, and it's actually happening all the time. all the positions they get, they try constantly. well, we wish you success there, hold on, and advance, well, as much as

possible. perhaps, thank you, mykola volokhov, for joining us, this is the commander of the aerial reconnaissance unit tero as part of the third separate assault brigade in the bakhmut district, and mr. peter, let's see, well , we basically talked about bakhmut, let's look at 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 that happened in the area of ​​work, and can we say that there has now arisen such, you know, to a certain extent, well, as if a situation when there is some sort of balance between our forces and the enemy's forces, and something additional is needed to shift this balance in one direction or another, because we know that the russians have driven sufficiently large forces there,

that is, they are there. . they added paratroopers there, they added equipment there, they added everything there, there is concentrated on this one narrow part of the front, well, such a great force, and no matter how it is possible to shift this balance, in fact, in general, your opinion is completely service, correct, only i would call this word imbalance because balance is when we're dug in, they're dug in , and we're endlessly exchanging artillery, artillery, and nobody's just moving anywhere. artillery work is going on, this is rather a balance, here it would be more correct to use the term routine, but everything has turned into a routine. indeed, we did what you called with 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 so-called surovikin line, we are somewhere in the middle, that is, the first heaviest line of support, where everything was strewn with mines

up to five ... explosive devices per square meter, an incredible amount, nothing like this has happened since the second world war, with the exception of the iran-iraq war, there and everything is also littered there with mines, i saw it with my own eyes in 2004, and now we have entered the second line, the main line, it is here that the battles are very heavy, i share the opinion of my young colleague that the russians really know how to dig, and here they are built a huge network tunnels, chances, all kinds of trenches, dugouts, doti. zots of equipped positions for artillery, for concealed firing of artillery and the like, it will be very difficult to go through it, when the axis goes more fun and could it go more fun 100% if there was a sufficient number of long-range, not even artillery, because artillery is just there are enough long-range missiles to knock out all their logistics at a distance of 100-150 km, so that nothing reaches the front line, for the battle

you need cartridges for small arms, you need shells for it, people need food, food, medicines, drinking water, and if at distances from berdan to berdyansk in this or that interval they would knock out everything that moves, from railway echelons to banal convoys with cars, then in a few weeks the situation would 100% change in our favor , that's what we really lack, and look , when you look at the map, there is such and such an important point... height 166, for which they constantly say that there are battles, how important is this point, you can to explain, my brother-in-law, colleague, i will let him to name, as soon as he gave us all the right signal, he will support it, well, why, well, why analyze the point, well, you know, sometimes i even come to such not entirely pleasant emotions when such questions are asked, well, we give the enemy intelligence information, okay, then

we won't, really, but... but look, we also know that the russians are now trying to build some new road, as they reported there, along mariupol, berdyansk, a railway, why are they doing it, why for them, well, it's important to do it , however you like it, is here, is here for them strategic, rational grain and it has several planes, but there is also strategic good news for us here, well, maybe good news, russians, why can we break through the southern front and reach the northern azov region, that is, conditionally gain a foothold somewhere conditionally once again, because i don’t know how it will be, to gain a foothold somewhere in the area of ​​the milk estuary and cut, cut the land border to the crimea, plus, plus, what is called atakams, there is no talk about it, supposedly, as joe biden has already sanctioned it, so far we do not have a firm such qualitative confirmation, maybe strike up to 300 km, and from kircha,

let's say, to gulyai pol 250 km, hence these missiles.
