[000:00:00;00] the russians are trying to attack, counterattack from the flanks, in order to break through the ukrainian formations here and stop our advance , that is, to cut off the advancing ukrainian troops, the ukrainian troops are advancing, expanding the front, otherwise the russians will immediately attack, only the enemy, that is, the ukrainian the army will slip a little somewhere, then it will be possible to attack the flank, go into the flank, and so far... despite the aggressive maneuvers of the enemy, this did not succeed, moreover, the ukrainian forces advanced into the district of robotnogo and have a chance during make a breakthrough in the fall. yes, it is absolutely possible to make a big breakthrough, gain a foothold in these areas, enter there with heavy equipment and break through and even enter the enemy's rear there. then our troops will be able to enter the operational space and move towards melitopol, and this can already collapse the southern

front. bridgehead, in parallel with this, the blockade of occupied crimea will be strengthened by winter, but the pace of liberation of the south will depend primarily on ukraine's allies. what will we get to the earth from our partners if we are to the earth we will receive from our partners, let's say, attack ems, and it is a huge probability that we will receive them, then we will be able to destroy the airfields, we will be able to destroy the enemy's air defense, and then the situation on the battlefield, it can change very much. and so far, western experts, analyzing desperate russian counterattacks, come to the conclusion that the kremlin is deliberately delaying time, the question is why? austrian military analyst tom cooper suggests that putin's plan is to wear down the collective action enough that it abandons

supplies of arms and financial aid to ukraine, the economy of the usa and the federation are incomparable, so, as they say, there will not be enough gunpowder. there is another version, and it is also related to the united states, they are waiting for trump, that is, their main task is to prevent the breakthrough of the ukrainian offensive in the south and east, to prevent ukrainian troops from deoccupying, especially the south, and then they have a chance to wait... trump and then putin can offer some new conditions for the so-called peace. however, all this is just a theory, because who will become the next president of the united states, is still a very big question. but the task of ukraine is not to waste time and opportunities on the battlefield, while the help of partners arrives, and the russians exhaust at least their weapons arsenals. but the military potential of the federation is gradually

melting. especially against the background of constant strikes, deep into the russian rear and damage to strategic objects. the ukrainian general staff hints that the cold will not stop cotton, and autumn will be hot for the enemy. allachish the facts of the week, ictv - the only news. the current war is defined by artillery, drones and the latest technologies. and here ukrainians never get tired of surprising, this week the domestic robniki presented a raincoat, you didn’t hear that, and it’s not a fairy tale, the raincoat really blocks the radiation of heat and makes the soldiers invisible to the enemy, because neither thermal imaging cameras nor drones with thermal imaging cameras see them, this was reported deputy prime minister mykhailo fedorov. such a raincoat weighs only 2.5 km, is not afraid of rain and snow and has already passed the test. in other words, we are waiting for

the airplane carpet. fantasy becomes. reality is just before our eyes, and such raincoats are simply an invaluable treasure for our snipers, or fighters who ambush heavy armor, enemy tanks. together with such a unit , pavlo vasylov left for the position of the zaporozhye direction. hunting for russian armor, combat work of ukrainian anti-tank soldiers, well, that's a helicopter to want. as in the hot southern direction continues. the confrontation between people and iron, the specifics of the work, what should be caught if we were to catch our special report from the zaporizhzhia region. currently , the zaporizhzhia region is the hottest spot on the entire map of the russian-ukrainian war. it is here that our counteroffensive from orikhov and ubik continues tokmak and the peculiarity of the geography of the region is that the one who controls the airfield, who controls the numerous landings, is almost the only shelter from

enemy drones in the south of ukraine. the 128th separate mountain assault brigade is one of those that here in the zaporizhzhia region is gnawing away our land from the enemy meter by meter. with infantry equipment, here is this anti-tank unit, and together with them we leave for one of the landings among the endless fields of the south of the region. the task is to coordinate the work, hone the details of hunting for russians and the skills of hiding, this small patch of trees is relatively far from the front line, but the scars of war are everywhere. but a piece of paper, yes, something flew in. small, but deadly. the skif anti-tank complex, which is dangerous for the russians, is constantly being hunted by the occupiers, and accordingly, these guys. it wouldn't be visible behind the muscovites at all, we would pass like that, thinking that it was some kind of bush. well, basically we are masking ourselves from

whom, from these drones, at the moment there is a lot of flying on the front and they are drawing a lot from the sky, and this is our first of all, well, so to speak, well, don’t get burned, especially since they don’t like us... well, you understand, for a trained fighter there is no difference whether there is an old t-62 or the latest modifications of the t-90, a scythian by the teeth, any iron, well, that is, this missile, it basically destroys all the existing russian ones, yes, that ’s what i have left to close the entire zhetat according to their technology, well, it’s a helicopter, i want to blow it up and that’s all, and you can go to pensions the chief sergeant of the anti-tank company has more than a dozen confirmed targets and not only tanks, last year he recorded his account of a rare beast, a heavy flamethrower system

of sunsepok, here are the shots. sontsepok, yes, but here in the south, russians are already more cautious, i 'll tell you, there's competition now. their equipment is large, look, we, the fipishniks, an infantryman with a one-shot, they still have to beat him, so now anti-tankers are more like snipers, hours, or even days of waiting for one accurate shot. we have the specifics of the job, which should be like catching, playing cat-and-mouse, let's say, like the first days we were working, for example, then they would go out on their own, thinking that here in general the walk is like this, you can immediately go in a parade by yourself, let's say, they went in columns, then it was easier. here in the south, battle tactics are no longer determined by the enemy's armored shock fists, but by the enemy's living force with shovels. they are very strong here, they, well, they themselves saw these lines of this sorovikin going, these dragon's teeth, plus everything here is dug in,

dug in, you know, so, how can i tell you, it's very difficult, in fact. but russian tanks periodically try to terrorize ukrainian infantry, and then the life of the soldiers depends on the speed of reaction against the tankers. and their ability to quickly get into position , frankly, bomb, bomb, because it is also very powerful, and you can say like a mini, mini, some kind of truck there, something like that. the driver of the company is not happy with the new car, a nine-ton innovator, the armored king of the night protects the boys from enemy lancets. now we plus or minus are just leaving to take out, by the time you get there it will be even darker, the darkest is before dawn, that's how it is

we are working, during the southern counteroffensive, victor has already driven more than 1,000 km, he wants to drive this novelty to the azov coast, because our people are under occupation there, in zaporizhzhia, well , friendly people, well, they help, very good people, well, indeed, the zaporizhia direction, well people in and to speed up this movement, anti-tankers of the 128th brigade train even during rest. fortunately, computer technologies open up great opportunities, our soldiers are famous for their non-standard approach to combat. rises higher, see? ugh. from the south of the zaporizhzhia region, pavlo vasiliev, ctv facts of the week: the only news. russia must be defeated. or preparing for a new war. if the current war is frozen, the kremlin will use the respite to gather a new army and attack, for example, the baltic states, already in 2028. this is one of the scenarios currently being considered by moscow,

president of ukraine volodymyr zelskyi told the eu and british leaders at the summit of the european political community held in granada, spain. there , zelensky held several bilateral meetings, there are specific ones, in particular, regarding the strengthening of ukrainian air defense. spain will transfer we still have six houk installations. well, germany has an additional patriot system. which can be used already. this winter, for example , to repel russian attacks on our energy infrastructure, moscow is already doing it, but the main strikes will come when it gets colder, last year, for example, massive attacks began from mid-october. how are our energy workers preparing for winter and new russian terrorist attacks so that we are not left without electricity? serhii kostazh managed to get to the regime facility, which was actively shelled by the russians the previous winter. one of our aunts,

exclusive facts of the week. energy against russian missiles. after the hit, there was open fire for about four days. exclusive filming on the tec, which is restored after the arrivals. we managed to get to one of the ukrainian theses, which survived several arrivals of the last heating season. how power plants are preparing for a difficult winter, hacks from ukrainian energy companies , we can relate to this how we are gradually recovering everything and whether electricity tariffs will increase this fall, we will tell you everything now. is ukrainian energy ready to new winter and new blackouts. to find out, we went to one of the ukrainian nuclear power stations, which has survived several missile strikes . the framework is not simple, we do not remove equipment or anything that could reveal the location

of the station, but the damage here is huge, the roof is broken and the power unit is out of order. it was at this place that there was a rocket landing for the test, and then one power unit was disabled, and now, behind my back , restoration work is actively going on here, so that the power unit can work at full strength again, providing enough electricity in the winter of 23-24 years old, station workers who survived rocket hits. they say, the eyes are afraid, the hands are doing, that's how the station was restored, although there is still a lot of work, you think, it's not scary, it's very scary , when everything flies apart, we're used to it , we can gradually restore everything, they went there, they went there, we went here , well, everyone, for whom it is needed, for the people, we needed more people, everyone, according to the chief engineer ivan, it was the perseverance of the staff that allowed everything to be done very quickly, without anyone getting confused, no... well

, let's say it like this, without panic, there you go, quit , to settle, there was no stoppage of work, everyone got up and restored, cleaned, because there was a lot of garbage, construction debris , and plus a lot of poster was damaged equipment, and the biggest problem of restoring such autotransformers, they cost tens of millions of hryvnias and in there are only a few manufacturers in the world. here is this autotransformer, which was destroyed by rocket fire, it weighs more than 360 tons. and it makes almost no sense to repair it, it’s easier to buy a new one, but new ones are very expensive, they are made abroad, and they have a large queue, they can be waited for years, so this is the part of the ukrainian energy industry that will be very problematic to restore, at least in the short term. the very issue of restoration became the main issue for energy experts in 2023. the general director of the energy company ildar saleev

says: the russians disabled up to a third of the capacities. prior to the start of the ozp, it was planned to carry out repairs on 19 power units. to date, we have already carried out work on 15 power units. four are still undergoing repairs, but we are until the beginning of the autumn-winter season we will also finish them during the period. in general, almost the entire network has already been restored across the country, energy minister herman gallushchenko assured facts of the week, but mainly due to spare parts and transformers, while now there is not so much in reserve. the key thing for us today is to understand that there are no restrictions on both generation and transmission today. what is key is to increase the number, here we talked about transformers in order to ensure more reliability, yes, that is, in the event of an attack, it will destroy. to be able to to immediately switch to another

transformer, and the main thing now is how to secure what has been repaired, for the test, where we are, we are already moving from restoration to strengthening work, which should improve the protection of the power plant. at the moment , a fairly thick formwork is being prepared here, that is, there will be a thick layer of concrete here, such a solid concrete slab that it is impossible to cause damage in the event of a re- arrival, and the condition itself. they cover with another wall of such giant bags, these bags are called tons, each with a ton sand, and they stand close to each other in such rows, quite dense. to the tets substation and they reliably protect against debris, but hundreds and thousands of them are needed. according to minister hlushchenko, such simple means of protection are very effective, because the most damage to energy facilities was not caused by direct hits.

a lot of damage was caused by debris from rockets, conditionally or shaheds, which exploded, so here these passive protection systems, they play an important role, concrete walls, big bags, gabions and there are... active protection, these are definitely air defense systems, anti-aircraft defense, in fact, this is the best solution, well, let's also be honest, ildar saleev says, their company has drawn conclusions and carried out a lot of work on the protection of tets, but all this is very expensive, a planned repair campaign for our power plants, it is more than 3.5 billion hryvnias this year, to restore everything that was damaged and destroyed and restore it to its condition. almost 7 billion hryvnias are needed for shelling. and this painful question raises the following: will there be a new tariff increase in the fall. energy workers complain that they lack finances, and it is not easier for ukrainians. kiyanka valentina, for example, paid a small amount for electricity a year ago.

1,300 is to be paid, it was in november of that year, and now it is twice as much, so it will be somewhere around 3,000, just for electricity. the reason is simple, in the house. the woman has everything connected to electricity, except for heating, an electric oven, a microwave, and a stove, electric, well, and a kettle, toaster, coffee machine, food processor, well, if you use it, well, all the time, a dishwasher, we already we don't know how to save and what to save on, however, ukraine has a moratorium on... raising tariffs until the end of martial law, but according to experts, the tariff should have been market-based for a long time. this problem can be solved by providing subsidies, especially to the poor, because today there is a big problem in the fact that

electricity and natural gas are received at these lower tariffs, that is, the state essentially subsidizes both us and the poor and the rich, however , and the richer a person is, the more he is subsidized, essentially by the state. in turn, the minister of energy reassures until the end of hostilities, electricity does not more expensive there is no talk of raising tariffs at the moment, this issue is not even being discussed now, therefore, of course , sooner or later we will come to market tariffs, but it is said that it will be after our victory, but in the meantime, the energy companies continue their work, preparing for new attacks of the aggressor, and who will do it? everything at once, so here, don't be afraid, you have to work, that's all. ukrainian energy workers are doing everything to provide ukrainians with a safe and warm winter. everything else will depend on the ukrainian pppo. serhiy kostash, ictv facts of the week. the only ones

news. chevrons approaching victory, help the child not to fall into a trap on the internet. the first and most important rule is to talk to your children about cyber safety: do not be a controller and do not prohibit, be an adult who helps and protects the child. the prohibition method does not work, trust is effective. for more tips, read the cyber ​​security section

on the dovidka website. info. let's go together. excellent work of the ukrainian air defense, minus a few shahedes on this particular video, which was released by the commander of the air force mykola olekschuk we will return to these shots later, there is a very important detail, and in the meantime, we thank the defenders of the sky, because their work has increased significantly. the beginning of this autumn showed that russia began a new phase of terrorist attacks against ukraine, betting on iran. kamikaze drones. more than half a thousand were counted in defense express in september. this is a record number of shaheds released during the entire time of the full-scale invasion, well, in comparison. with the summer months, the jump is more than twofold. the first week of october

demonstrates that the kremlin does not lose momentum. that is, russia has apparently increased supplies from iran and may have been able to establish kamikaze production on its territory. we cannot influence this yet, but there is a technique against this scrap and it is called strengthening the air defense system. and in this case , everything will agree. the video i showed at the beginning is actually unique footage, because these shaheds were shot down with the help of the s-125 complex, its operation is not often shown, and therefore these old soviet pppo systems, they are still in service and effective from the 60s against such hard-to-see targets, such as mines, moreover , the c125 missile is much cheaper than modern western installations. the only problem is how to replenish stocks: missiles that were produced in russia, but a similar solution has been found, and it is called seasparo from the english

sea sparrow, because this american anti-aircraft missile was created for the fleet. belgium has announced that it will hand over the sizpero lot to us, which means that a monument should be erected to ukrainian engineers during their lifetime. they were able to modify soviet installations for launching american missiles. more one is very effective. the ppo novelty is coming to us all the way from australia, will it be enough for us to repel the influx of shaheds, artem kulya analyzed arsenal of ukraine. medicines from shaheds, kamikata drones became a new challenge for them. which pppo is the most effective anti-iranian drones, we compiled our own rating, not only to destroy as efficiently as possible, but as efficiently as possible for minimal costs. and also the newest development of australia. which is already going to ukraine, what makes it so unique? those computer games, they put me in front of the screen, put a joystick in my hands,

exclusive from the ambassador of ukraine in australia, who saw everything with his own eyes. this is the work of the ukrainian pporozhi shahedah in odesa region. and this is another one. the air defense operator tries to catch the iranian drone controllers on the screen. target shot down. experts counted for the past. a month, the russians launched as many as half a thousand shaheds across ukraine. so many iranian drones, for one month, the invaders have never fired back. have they already started a new campaign of attacks on the infrastructure of ukraine, or is there another reason? rather, it indicates that they are increasing production, they are ramping up, as i understand it, the production is also in iran, where they are partially supplied, plus they are ramping up production in russia itself as well. so with what ukraine can repel these attacks, we will consider the most effective weapons and compare

them by the cost of one shot. anti-aircraft missile systems, such as airisty and neysams transferred by the western allies, as well as the soviet s-300 and buk m1, are considered to be the most effective means of ukrainian defense against the shaheds. the buk m1 is quite good at aiming and practicing on such types. whole and very many russian orland 10 reconnaissance uavs were shot down by beech trees, so in principle it should work quite well according to the shekhed. thus, at the beginning of the year, it became known that ukraine and the usa are working on adapting the sisper radar-guided missile, which was converted from the air-to-air class, to the buk m1 complex. similar work was carried out with the ku complex. as far as i know, you know, it's still more experimental. history than us. however , it must be understood that the processing of such ammunition is quite long and expensive, and as is the case with ordinary soviet projectiles,

with each launch on the same shahgeds, there are no more of them. to really shoot down shaheds with ordinary anti-aircraft missiles is economically unprofitable, well, conditionally, let’s take half a thousand of these shakhaevs there, let ’s say they are worth $1,000 each, that’s $50 million for september, if, for example, we use only... well, anti-aircraft missile complexes nasam, the rocket there for the usa costs 1.3 million dollars, but already half a billion in one month. on the other hand, if you compare the cost of ammunition with due to the damage that this iranian drone can cause to the infrastructure, any downing is justified, and the russians specifically launch shahediroyams to jam the channel of soviet air defense systems, which are limited in the number of targets. in addition, anti-aircraft missile systems are also needed to shoot down cruise missiles. and blocking the space from enemy aircraft, and therefore their use against the shahed is rather an extreme necessity when there are no other

options. there is a shooting down, recapture, this is an operational video of the shooting down of the shaheds from the chepard anti-aircraft self-propelled artillery installation of german production, which is specially made to fight drones. a crew member with a winter tom shows off his workstation, just a few monitors and a joystick that the crew uses to capture the target. everything is automated for homing, we see targets, we capture them, we see them on the computer on the first, on the third. as there is a fascination with the distance to it and we accompany it. the operating radius of the cheetah radar system is up to 12.5 km, and the damage zone is up to 5 km. 35-caliber twin gun can fire up to 550 rounds per minute and hit targets at an altitude of up to 3.5 km, or at distance up to 4.5 km on the ground. it takes several

turns to destroy such a target as a rocket and that's all, moreover, it is mobile. however, one of the... main problems with cheetahs is that they are no longer produced, so although for the moment it is the most rational assembly against shaheeds, it cannot be considered in the long term. another option, so to speak , of a small anti-aircraft missile is the avenger short-range self-propelled anti-aircraft system, which is also at the disposal of the armed forces. basically, it's an army off-road humvee with zingner missile containers and a heavy machine gun. avenger works at a distance there of various modifications up to eight or up to 10syat. also, by the way, a pretty good system against the same shaheds, because there is actually pls plus the missiles that he uses, it is still a stinger that flies on the heat trail, and accordingly the heat trail of the internal combustion engine of the shahed uses well, however, for according to experts, avenger are needed on the frontline to cover ground troops, and

therefore using them only against the shaheds will not be appropriate either, besides missiles... in limited access. this is australia, the training ground near sydney. ambassador of ukraine vasyl myroshnychenko personally tests the slingnger anti-drone system designed to shoot down drones. in an exclusive interview with the fact of the week, he shares his impressions. like those computer games, they put me in front of the screen, put a joystick in my hands, said, look, here you see a flying object, here is an arrow. as it is pointed at this object, well, actually, and here you have to keep pressing the button and then it shoots, this system was invented by the company elektrooptic systems, known for the development of space technologies. in fact, slinker is a complex with a gun mounted on a pickup, the system consists of a 30mm bushmaster gun, a radar, an air sensor, a thermal imager and a patented guidance stabilization system, which makes this complex

unique, that is, the operator only actually... well, decides to destroy or not to destroy, but then it is done by the digital window control system. speed ​​also affects tactics, and the main advantage of the slinginger is not only technology, but also a large amount of ammunition, because in fact it shoots bullets exploding near the drone, and the most important thing is its relative cheapness. in this case, there is the slinginger system, which all costs 1 million us dollars, then the liquidation is conditional on the drone and the cost of its liquidation. it can be in the range of 200-300 or 500 dollars there, that is, tens or even hundreds of times cheaper than the cost of a shaheed. in addition, these complexes are very mobile, because they can be driven along highways in any direction. these are the trajectories by which he flies, he is actually there, he maneuvers, but in general goes in principle in a certain direction. mobility makes it possible to transfer these means accordingly, in accordance with

the trajectory that the enemy changes, very quickly, with what to cover. a larger area. the other day it became known that the first 10 complexes will soon be sent to ukraine as part of the aid package from the usa. so the defense forces will have more opportunities to defeat the shaheds, although there is an even better idea - to bomb their factories , but for now this is a fantastic scenario. artem kulya, facts of the week, ictv. the only news. military aid sha, found herself under...' threat due to a scandal in the american congress. in fact, ukraine became hostage to the split in the republican party, where a group of trumpists managed to get speaker kevin mccarthy to resign. the work of the house of representatives is paralyzed, and with it the question of allocation of aid to ukraine. in general , such a resignation of the speaker took place for the first time in the history of the united states, which created real chaos and confusion in the american political
