[000:00:00;00] oh, but all these documents come to the territorial assembly center , and after a person has received armor , he passes the military hospital commission accordingly, he receives a lot of certificates and then brings a copy of the armor to the territorial assembly center, and there the person is told right in his face, that as soon as you run out of armor, you are the first to be mobilized... and we are forced quite often in such cases to either repeat the reservation, or indeed we already have cases when people were simply mobilized and we lost valuable specialists, and by the way, as now with the state defense order and the production of simulators for the armed forces, this process

is ongoing, because we have now seen a simulator for armored personnel carriers, we know that you make simulators for manpads and anti-tank missiles. what is the current demand for these components, how are they ordered, how are they used by the military in the current hostilities? well, let's say, yes, in the last 20 months, the number of simulators that we manufacture for the armed forces of ukraine, for the state border service of ukraine and for the national guard of ukraine has increased by near. there is a problem, there are many problems, problems of such a nature that it is very difficult to predict what will be necessary literally in two or three months, the design and release terms are compressed to the maximum possible minimum, and here is the process of treating children's diseases of what

has been developed . and we release it, unfortunately, it is still, well, it is almost impossible to shorten this term, so we have to cooperate very closely with operations and try to bring everything to completion as soon as possible. mr. mykola, now we have a lot of people samples of foreign equipment from tanks there, bmp fighters, does this segment need to be ordered by national manufacturers of simulators in order to improve the use of this equipment, or has our military leadership not yet reached this point? two ways: the first way is to ask for simulators from manufacturers that supply us with weapons, but western-made simulators are more expensive, sometimes five times, sometimes ten

times, that is. it is one way and another way to develop and put into operation simulators of ukrainian production, but we we receive a lot of samples of equipment and weapons, and it is almost impossible to cover the entire list, this is the first component of the question, and the second component of the question, unfortunately, the ministry of defense and the general staff cannot predict how many of the number of samples of military equipment of the same type that we received today, will remain in service the day after tomorrow, that is, literally in two or three months we can, we can lose about a third on the battlefield, but if the hostilities continue for a year and a half or two, then we can lose much more, and accordingly, then the need for such

a simulator will disappear. if there is a guarantee that the supply of this same model will continue, then it will definitely take a year and a half to produce such a simulator and train the personnel who will operate this equipment, and even the personnel who will come to replace the one who will be out there in connection with injuries, in connection with some other situations, of course. and then directly before the use of armored vehicles on the battlefield, now we have received a certain number of powerful foreign tanks and these tanks were developed for a certain tactic of use in combat, which is different from the soviet one, which we partially inherited, i would like you to evaluate whether the organizational structure should change, whether

the approaches to the use of western armored vehicles should change in comparison with those of the ex-soviet samples and do our commanders of battalion brigades know exactly how to optimally use foreign equipment or sometimes tanks, because i spoke with some officers who say that it would be very good if, when planning combat operations brigade commander or battalion commander, there was always a tank operator nearby who would give advice on how to use the tank optimally in order to really achieve the goal and have less casualties, so explain your vision, foreign equipment, tactics of use, basic structures, well and optimal approaches for the actions of our commanders, and the presence of border technology should definitely affect the tactics of using this technology, because we get more powerful

tools, and in order to use them with the greatest efficiency, we must change the approaches to the use of these tools, unfortunately, now the situation is such that battalion commanders become officers who either only graduated from the military department, and then served for some time, or did not even serve, and their official growth took place already in the last 20 months, or before that they participated in the anti-terrorist operation, and after that in the operation of the united forces, that is, there was a completely different nature of combat operations. and here is such a category, and this is the level of the brigade headquarters, battalion level, it is not able to very quickly absorb all that information and all those changes that are necessary for the correct

organization of the use of foreign equipment on the battlefield, and those officers who declare that it is necessary to have specialists in the brigade headquarters... that will be participate in the planning of combat operations, that they should know the capabilities of the equipment, the differences in the equipment , that there should not be planning for the participation of the entire company, which will be concentrated on the area there for up to a kilometer and advance in one line, and that foreign equipment, as a rule used in pairwise rolls when one tank covers another tank. that tank moves when it occupies a favorable position, performs tasks, those that stand in support of the infantry, after that it begins to cover the second vehicle and begins to move, that is

, these are all the processes, unfortunately, they do not always, but they happen in a timely manner due to retraining, and there is another problem, it is necessary to send when we send personnel... to train the battalion, it is necessary to send for training not only the battalion commander, the chief battalion headquarters and all tankers, and it is necessary to send several officers from the operational department of the brigade headquarters, at least the deputy brigade commander or the deputy chief of the brigade headquarters, so that people understand what they are getting and as best as possible... organize combat operations in order to use potential, it is just as necessary to change the staff structure , why, because for the full organization and conduct of hostilities, we must have

a battalion headquarters not consisting of five people, but a battalion headquarters consisting of 25-30 people, that is headquarters brigade, there we are talking about completely different numbers, unfortunately, so far these problems are solved very difficult in our country, that is, in fact, the management link is too narrow a bottleneck in order to digest the large amount of information that is currently available on the polyboy, to plan correctly , to optimally use the capabilities of each type of equipment, that's how it works, and here i am, we now have about 10-15 new types of weapons coming to each brigade at the same time, and in order to tie it all into one knot, and so to organize it all in a timely manner, but without mistakes , it takes quite a lot of time, unfortunately, we

don't have that time, now we will see a parallel video where the fifth separate assault brigade uses tanks, bmp cv90 and btr113 in this. that option, when the tanks provide cover, then the armored personnel carriers and bmps come and carry out landings, then the tanks cover the departure of these combat armored vehicles, this is the point tactic of use, as far as it is now the most common, as far as it is optimal, in for penetration these forest strips, other areas where the enemy is entrenched, so this tactic is the most optimal, the most expedient, but again this depends on the place, on the time and on the ability of the commanders to organize such a relationship.

action, unfortunately, this is not yet a mass phenomenon, although in the last two or three months, after analyzing the situations of combatants on the battlefield that took place in june and july, there are very serious changes, why, because experience, it is still transmitted, and absolutely at different levels, including at... level operational-tactical groups, that is at the level of brigades and at the level of battalions and clans , that is why, the further, the faster such changes will take place and the efficiency will increase, but there are still a lot of issues that need to be resolved and very quickly, this is the first -

protection of armored vehicles from barrage munitions, that is, both on the battlefield and in places there, its location during preparation for hostilities, during repairs, that is, it is also necessary to carry out very and organize very quickly protection against the same drones, especially in means of radio-electronic warfare, that is, detecting the same drones in a timely manner through channels, control, and all these moments , they lead to the fact that we have a constant shortage of time and a constant shortage of personnel who are able to organize all these measures in a timely manner, and relatively speaking, the video you commented on of the combat operations of the fifth brigade near klishchivka, there were m-113s, bmps, and tanks, of the three categories, in your opinion, which is currently in the greatest

shortage, or which types of armored personnel carriers, tracked, bmp and tank, there is the greatest need for from the point of view of the satisfaction, well, the demand of our brigades, we now have a very great need for highly protected, so-called heavy infantry fighting vehicles, these are infantry fighting vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles of the marder type, these are infantry fighting vehicles of the type. cv90 and this infantry fighting vehicle bmp, m2, bradley in any variations, and a2, and a3 and a7, that is, these are the so-called fire support vehicles, that is exactly what saves the lives of servicemen on the battlefield in the first place, that is it what can support, even a soldier. and

when there is a connection between people who are in infantry fighting formations , and infantry fighting vehicles, this is the most effective means of fighting now on the battlefield, so tanks are also needed, tanks are needed, also for use as fire support vehicles and in the offensive. actions and defensive actions, yes, they cement combat positions both in defense and battle formations in the offensive, but everything rests on the strength that is now there, and on the strength that we have, which is now ready to be transferred, as well as in the readiness of personnel who are able to operate this equipment and competently, properly organize combat operations. mr. mykola, you just mentioned the bmp

, it seems like a month ago we discussed the importance of the advantages of the competitive bmp cv90 from sweden, and at the same time, after some time, information appears that in addition to this bmp, there are other ukrainian armored vehicles offered there manufacturers license production of bmp askod, with american roots. the question arises as to whether the ministry of defense should now probably formulate. such clear requirements for such tender procedures and start a proper tender for the purchase of bmp, in order to avoid accusations from certain partners who do not receive orders from the armed forces. force, er, that means the ministry of defense, or rather, the general staff, first, and then the ministry of defense must decide on a lot of issues, in armored vehicles, if you start with the tank, then this is the caliber, this is the fire control system,

this is the chassis, well, this will already shape who can be a producer, and what exactly we will help. maybe we want to see in the ranks in the armed forces of ukraine in two years, in five years, in 10 years, there will be a similar situation with infantry fighting vehicles, especially of the heavy class, and with armored personnel carriers , the situation is also practically similar, why, because the fourth armored personnel carrier that ukraine is capable of producing and, thank god, produces it in some quantities, that's all - still... a machine that has its roots in soviet armored personnel carriers, and these are technologies, after all , of the last century, so we need to have more modern, more advanced, more protected equipment, including on a wheel base,

then it arises question if the general staff has to formulate requirements, to formulate a vision for each model of equipment, and... someone else's equipment arrives, foreign equipment. now we are waiting for the arrival of abrams tanks, again there are excessive expectations that this will be a super breakthrough on the battlefield, i personally do not think so, but i would like to hear your thoughts, whether in fact due to the limited number of leopards in certain versions or not there is a feeling that the abrams will in the future become the main battle tank of the ukrainian army , given the significant reserves in the united states. so everything depends on what we want to see, if we want to see at least five hundred tanks of the same type, of western production, in the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine in the next three years, then

they can only be abrams, if we want to see these same five hundred tanks within 10 years, then... it could be leopards, it all depends on the number that we want and the availability in the world, or the production capabilities, why, because now there is no no country in the world except the united states america, which can give five hundred tanks within five years without absolutely no, no problems for its own defense capability. and when we talk about our tank-building capabilities, now several dozen t-64 tanks have appeared on the front lines again , we see that repairs are taking place, renewal is taking place, but understanding, vision for the future, what about our tank

developments, are there for them, the prospect, whether without cooperation with foreign partners, to advance and provide, well, the ukrainian army with its own projects, will be extraordinary. heavy, in fact, the production of tanks is the first, here is the armor, which we need to cook ourselves, here is a fundamental science, why, because the whole thing is that those enterprises that existed in soviet times, they are now either partially destroyed, or they are no longer able to repeat the technologies that were mastered by metallurgists in their time, then we go to radio electronics, and after that we go to the ammunition industry, this is the chemistry of gunpowder, this is the chemistry of explosives, then we return to the same metallurgy again, these are the same

the high-explosive fragmentation projectiles themselves are metal for projectiles, for projectile cases, ot. and then we return to explosives again, this is, again, modern microelectronics, and here is this circle, it is practically endless, or rather, it is a spiral, because in almost every direction, we need to overcome within a few years, the path that the western our partners have been overcoming for ten years, that is, in fact, we are doomed to a partnership. it is necessary to find optimal forms of such partnership, yes. mr. mykola, thank you very much for your, as always, professional explanations for your time assigned to our viewers, and i will remind you that mykola salamakha, a retired lieutenant colonel, project manager at

the energy 2000 company, was at eteriso. so, based on the conversations with our industrialists, we can conclude that yes, we have a certain potential in creating our own samples, in in other directions, we need cooperation, and we have to eliminate a number of bureaucratic problems that still exist in our defense-industrial complex, the sooner we do it, the sooner we will get positive results that will be reflected on the battlefield, this is how it can there will be the main conclusions from communication with our industrialists, turn on well, it's when everything is as you want, click, and you are in the world of cartoons, click and around the universe of cinema, and then, oh, what is needed. turn on hundreds of channels, thousands of movies and sports, the child has caught a virus, mother vera has faith in decasan, inhaled

on espresso. greetings, we are looking for 11-year-old nastya shilkova and her seven-year-old brother danya shilkova. i immediately urge you to share this video on your social networks. maybe one of your friends or acquaintances. will recognize the brother and sister and will be able to provide at least some information about them, and especially carefully look into the faces of nastya and dana, and i am asking the residents of the zaporizhia region, because the children disappeared precisely in zaporizhzhia, in the village of vyshnyovate, pologiv district. this happened at the beginning of january 23, and since then nothing is known about them. and although currently there is almost no information about the whereabouts of nastya and dana in the children's service of pologivska. we were informed that there is an assumption that the russians could have taken the children to temporarily occupied melitopol, but

again this information is not confirmed, and it cannot be said for sure that the brother and sister are really in melitopol now. also, together with nastya and dana shilkova, they could take this boy from the village of vyshnyovata to melitopol, his name is vlad lysak, he is 13 years old, nothing is known about him either, and since the beginning of 2023 he is considered missing . so i ask everyone, especially residents of the zaporizhzhia region and the city of melitopol, to look carefully at the photos of the children. if you know anything about them, please don't delay and immediately call the hotline at 116-30. if it is not possible to call, write to our website or to the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram. we are also looking for 13-year-old damir ustimenko. damir disappeared at the beginning of october last year in mykolaiv. his mother asked us to help find the boy. i spoke with the woman and she shared some details about the circumstances of

her son's disappearance. he was with his father in nikolaev. since lunch they both disappeared, phones выключены, where they are, is unknown. damir's mother says that recently the son lived with his father, and the woman herself moved from mykolaiv to odesa for work. everything was fine. damir attended online classes at school, constantly called his mother, at the beginning of october 2022 the connection with him and his father was suddenly cut off. yes, they checked the lessons, he went to school online. everything was fine, he disappeared on the fifth, since then their phones have been switched off, it is impossible to reach them. the boy's mother says that even she cannot imagine where her son could have disappeared, but she is convinced that he is in ukraine.

they did not have the opportunity to officially leave ukraine, as i have all the documents, damir's birth certificate and passport, and my ex-husband, he cannot legally leave ukraine, as he is conscripted, so i really hope that they are currently in the territory of ukraine, in the territory controlled by ukraine, they are alive, healthy, and my son will return to me as soon as possible. my father from mykolaiv the damirs lived on kolodyazniy street, the boy's mother, of course, immediately went there... but the child and her husband were no longer at home, and the woman did not find anything that could indicate to her exactly how her son disappeared and where he could be found search, so damira's mother is very much counting on your help and is asking each of you to help. i am very worried about what is happening with my child now, in what emotional state he is, whether he is alive, whether he is healthy, whether he is well, in

connection with him, on the fifth of the tenth, i have no where i don't know where he is, i ask everyone who is interested, who saw or heard something, to contact the hotline of the tv channel, so if you know at least something about damir ostimenko, please let us know immediately, the phone number of the magnolia children's search service hotline 116:30, calls from all mobile operators in ukraine are free. we have created a resource thanks to which you can report any crime against a child. in any place, at any time, just go to the site and report, and we will launch all possible
