[000:00:00;00] eh, here is the question of funds and the question of the quantity itself, please tell me, do you see the prospects that we actually have a little more of them, is it possible to manufacture them faster, deliver them faster, or replace them with something, in the end is it possible? well, it is desirable to use 20 pieces in one calculation, but this rarely happens, because we unfortunately do not have such a number of drones, regarding the facilitation of importation, there is indeed liberalization, there is no taxation. but for example, it is forbidden to conclude direct contracts between ukrainian and chinese companies, that is, contracts, well i just hear from suppliers that it significantly delays the process, because you have to find a company somewhere in poland to bring it to ukraine, although everyone understands that it is a chinese drone, and whatever you call it, it will remain chinese, and the russians and we buy the same drones, we have no other way out, so we need to stop

doing this... and allow direct contracts to be concluded with ukrainian companies that import drones and to do it much more and faster, because now the logistics of drones is very complicated, there is simply another problem that a lot of drones are transported, this is a lego constructor, it can be fully equipped, necessary for the performance of combat missions, or it can simply be a few parts from which the product cannot be fully made, that is, it is very important that it was high-quality and well, we need to work on it, not everyone can do it, and now with the onset of cold weather, winter is ahead, the rains will probably be more foggy, is there any feature of the use of drones now, maybe you can do something for us, open some secrets, which will then make it easier for volunteers, in particular, to supply you with drones, well, the biggest enemy for us,

if we talk about the weather, is the wind. and such heavy precipitation in the form of rain, when it rains, not only here and there, something can happen to the electronics, but also almost the connection through starlik is lost, when it rains so intensely , and where we work, there is only hope for starlik and it remains, well, it’s wind , if it’s wind that’s all, that’s why it’s much more difficult to work now, but these are mirror conditions for both the enemy and us, that’s why we are 24/7 we are looking for, waiting for the corridor. the weather is so good that we can fly out and practice, and we take this into account as much as possible, because we receive our military tasks every day and we cannot do them, at the cost of the loss of fighters, but we do them, because, well, we have to destroy the occupier and their equipment . mr. street, we just asked ivan tymochko, it's even easier for you, because you are an expert, here are these videos

that talk about uav strikes at a distance from. 80-100 km along the airfields of the armed forces of ukraine with tactical aviation and the use of combat russian drones and kamikaze drones at such a distance are all dispersed by the russian public, but you have probably seen them, analyze them, they are true, a lie, that is, they can really already fly in and attack so deeply, well, let's say the airfield of the tactical aviation, the armed forces of ukraine. i will say that it is technically possible and they have it, but whether it is true or not, our official, military channels have to say it, i cannot comment, i was not standing there next to that plane, i did not see what i saw, you didn't say, i don't know, i don't know, but it's technically possible in general, the forces of unmanned aviation all over the world and in ukraine, first of all, are now developing very actively and every day we can do more and more, but we are still far from the point where they tell us, wow, you are a class, you use fpv, the americans are there, i

say, listen , we use... because we don’t have enough regular artillery and we don’t have enough shells, that is, in fact, we replace the artillery shell with such a flying drone with explosives, and the muscovites have already learned to use anti-drone guns, because they write a lot about it, that our the good guys have already made something up there, pretended that we can pass even those places where the units have on... armed anti-drone guns, well, you know, someone came somewhere and then they say that he learned to pass, if against you they use really effective rap or direct fire with a drone, then you won’t have any chance, it’s just that someone either didn’t have a gun or didn’t have time to do it and he flew by and that’s all, and the last question for today from us enemies is how intense

do you use bp? actually, now there are more and more shaheds in parts of ukraine that are further from the front, as is the case at the front, and what is the situation with this now, is it more or less, or is it the same? they use all the available means that they have, and aviation, and gliders, and artillery, and infantry, any quality of infantry, and including bplla, lancet, arlan, they are in sufficient numbers, we, our air defense forces shoot down, but they have them, and the lancet develops, it is a very powerful tool, unfortunately, and this must be taken into account, if it is in the air, it must to take into account and try to save personnel and equipment, well, there was information that they are trying... our guys to develop a certain system of e, warning, literally operational warning, that in a close zone, the same

russian lancet works from you, or something like that already you have on your hands, that is, we do not need to reveal secret information, but are these optimistic developments in the body, or have they really already reached the front, i will say that in most cases, when the same orlan, and without the orlan, when he in the air we know that oh great thank you, oles malyarevich, the sergeant of the akhiles attack unmanned systems company of the 92nd separate assault brigade named after kosh otaman ivan sirk was with us, now we are going for a short break, then we will return and talk with serhiy and hurtets, we will analyze the situation on the fronts and our odds. to receive additional weapons. the varpattya forum presents a unique book event , a literary and artistic meeting word in war, exclusive conversations with military

director of the information and consulting company defense. glory to ukraine, mr. serhiy. i congratulate you. mr. serhiy, at least we are aware that changes are very rapid in certain areas of the front. i am talking about avdiivka. the battle for avdiivka has begun, will it be a long battle, which means that the abandoned, elite units, with a strength of at least three battalions for the duration . yesterday, what kind of equipment columns are these, what kind of tactics are these with various tanks from scrap metal to the most modern ones stubbornly forward, explain what this idea of ​​the battle for avdiivka to the enemy, it is already working out, and what will not work out, and what is the strategic goal in general? well, actually, let's look a bit more broadly, talk not only about avdiivka, but the general dynamics, if you saw the morning reports of the general staff, then you probably paid attention to the number of combat clashes that took place

along the line, clashes with the enemy, it increased, up to 108, that is, let me remind you, about a week ago it was about 40 average collisions per day, three weeks before that it was about 20-25, now we are talking about 108 collisions, i.e. actually says that the entire area of ​​the front, where the fighting is taking place, is acts... and accordingly, by the way, the losses of the enemy also increased, if you saw, today the colossal figures of 800.50 destroyed occupiers, although there is less artillery, only seven units, i think that the issue related to the artillery concerns the fact that now the artillery rather performs the functions of destroying the enemy's living offensive force and the counter-battery fight against the enemy's artillery is somewhat in the background, which is reflected

in the statistics of the general staff, now about avdiivka, we really know that avdiivka is in such a conditional semi-encirclement, when russian troops are looming over the flanks from the north and south, but for a long time the defense was stable enough and there was no enemy advance, since yesterday the hostilities intensified, and in particular there from krasnogohorivka, when we talk about the north and polled, when we talk about the south, the enemy tried to use both ground units and aviation, but now we see a unique video, where the offensive of the russian columns in the water zone, it is exactly on the dam , south of avdiivka, and exactly nine tanks first pass this, the bridge and perform this, the diving element very quickly, yes,

the rest stops, thinks what to do with this crew, but in addition to this video, there is another one, perhaps our filmmakers will find, when it shows the offensive in the north, where about three battalions of the russian group carried out an attack in the krasnogohorivka area, and we see that such a classic soviet offensive is really being carried out with a significant number of personnel, and i think what a continuation this is precisely the use of our artillery, which precisely led to those quantitative indicators regarding the losses of the enemy , which i spoke about earlier, that is, krasnogohorivka from above, from below, a water survey, the place is this distance, if there is a straight line, now this video is exactly when the enemy is trying to attack it with three battalions and with significant losses , by the way, in the evening, the spokesman for the eastern direction pashtun said that in fact all

enemy attacks were repelled, and this shows the stability of our defense, but i repeat, from krasnogohorivka is about 10 km in a straight line from krasnogohorivka to the experienced waterman, and the enemy is trying to continue to press in these directions in order to somehow secure the encirclement, the avdiivka, but we understand that these are long-standing attempts and we can see from the results that it is connected with the fact that the enemy it cannot be done, but i repeat, such measures against the enemy will be continued, as throughout the entire front, because starting from kupinsk, svatove, ardiivka, maryanka, works on verbove, that is, the entire front has now been significantly activated, probably enemy is trying in these days, which are before the bad weather, somehow, to put maximum pressure on the ukrainian troops in order to stop our offensive in the south, or to occupy

more favorable lines for the enemy, if he succeeds in this, so that now we really see such activation in across the front line, sir. serhii, ukrainian pilots will be in the first wave of those who will train on the f-16 in romania, this information was announced by the president of ukraine zelenskyi in bucharest, during his visit and meeting with klaus iohannis, the president of romania, we understand that this is official information, actually something that can be made public, do you have any guesses about what else is going on in romania. the presidents could have come to an agreement, because during the war it is not often that zelenskyy flies somewhere just like that, well, indeed, we see that romania already feels the threat posed by the russian federation, when we talk about that and the shaheds, who are already flying into the territory

of romania and there is a fortification along, along these possible actions, russian shaheds, and the visit of... zelenskyi, in fact, in my opinion, is mainly accompanied by an economic and military component. the economic component is related to expanding the corridors associated with the transportation of our grain to europe by land, land routes, it is of course more expensive than by road, but in any case it is also an option. and the second is the military component, where romania talks about that and about the readiness of training of our pilots on the territory. romanians in the format of their training center and with the help of air defense systems of various purposes, although the romanians do not have that much potential for ammunition there, that is, these things actually reflect the general approaches of the nato countries regarding assistance to ukraine, when we talk about air defense, we understand that there is also a message from

the united states and germany to increase this assistance to ukraine, but returning to romania and regarding the pilots themselves, i will say that not only romania, we know that both britain and the united states are training for f-16 aircraft, those for our air force representatives, and now the question is not so much, not only in training, in determining who will transfer these aircraft in the near future, what types of aircraft they will be and the preparation of our infrastructure, so it is a complex issue, where pilot training alone is only one of the important, but not the only indicators of use f-16 by our armed forces. mr. serhiy, yesterday we saw this wonderful video, which ukrainians can't help but like, even though the target group was not us, the aircraft carriers that transport to israel v-16, f-18, f-35, do

you think, or pis , a50, this is such a fortress air is good. yes, and actually, or after they have worked there, because here are some experts. they say that everything will happen very quickly in the middle east and that war will end quickly, is there a possibility that we will receive such help sooner, maybe even the same planes that are already working there, and likewise, whether the supply of long-range missiles to ukraine can speed up, actually after the start of the war in israel? well, first of all about planes, about aircraft carriers, now israel, by the way, has a fairly powerful air force, and this what we should focus on, in particular there are f-16s, if i am not mistaken, 200, f-15s - 85, and about 30 f-35s, there are 320 aircraft, this is actually even twice as much as ukraine plans in the most optimistic plans

to strengthen its air component at the expense of f-16 aircraft, so that, in fact, all the work now regarding the destruction of military facilities, leadership... israel's aviation will carry out the bulk of its work on its own, given its powerful potential. the american aircraft carrier, the american planes, they are, in principle, now a show of force, from the point of view of to avoid or prevent the risks that could tempt iran to get involved in these hostilities in view of the transition of this war there to a nuclear component, with all the exaggerations of the development of this situation, so that israel will cope with its own forces with the e-e terrorists and this until things are an example for us regarding the timely formation of combat potential even now. regarding the reaction of the americans to the aid to ukraine, it was stated that aid to both israel

and ukraine at the same time is quite possible, it corresponds to the potential of the united states, i i have no doubts about this, and now the main thing is to, first of all, continue to maintain, well , on the one hand, attention to the ukrainian-russian war, and this should also be the focus of our political partners in the united states and europe, and secondly, to ensure that military... including support, or primarily to ukraine, because i repeat, israel has enough capacity, we need this help, in my opinion, much more. yes, i want to go back to that, to that aid that has already been confirmed, here, i mean the aid package from germany, there is patriot, airist, cheetahs, and we understand that, first of all, we need it for strengthening, in air defense, and for, well, let’s say this, it is not enough, we are definitely aware of it, but it gives us something, something like that and to decide , well, at least the issue of the south, we close

with these the freshest supplies that are coming to us from the germans, maybe there will be something from britain also for air defense, does this at least close the issue of the protection of the south, well, the danube and odessa, well in fact , i cannot clearly say in detail, because i do not have all the information, but in in any case, we have to conclude that germany consistently fulfills its obligations to supply ukraine with air defense systems, which is extremely important now, we understand that we now have two batteries, patriot, if it will be the third battery from germany, then it's going to be really cool, besides we're talking about different versions of arisi supplying, germany is promising that part will be either by the end of this

year or certain models next year, and with the supply promised from britain there's really such an increase now of our anti-aircraft capabilities, given that russia has resorted to active hostilities to destroy our grain infrastructure, we remember the address of the leadership there: regarding what exactly, in the south it is important to provide cover for these grain corridors, our grain corridors capabilities, and i think that this will really affect the deployment of certain types of air defense to cover the south, odesa and so on, because we have repeatedly spoken about the need for such a step, it is completely logical and justified, and so we think that indeed, new air defense complexes will be included, they will be placed in such a way as to cover our south, and this is an extremely important task in view of the economic needs

of ukraine, and not only purely military ones to cover our military and civilian facilities. we still have aid not only to germany, there are also many other packages , in particular, britain is to announce aid for 122 million dollars, and this is actually for demining fields for repairing vehicles, strengthening various defense fortifications, and the states promise: today about a new package of military help for 200 million to announce, there should be proper weapons for air defense there, artillery ammunition for hymers, tov anti-tank missiles and shells, and what is important in brussels, ramstein on the 16th is actually going on, mr. sergey, what can we expect from this ramstein, what will happen in the end, here is what we are talking about and what we will hear, well... before, i think that , after all, at the first stage it is about meeting the primary needs of the armed forces - this is ammunition for artillery and for

missile anti-aircraft defense systems, it is expendable material that is now desperately needed, which provides, on the one hand, the stability of the front line in defense and all the prerequisites for offensive actions, and our european partners mainly emphasize precisely the component of air defense in view of ukraine's entry into winter, the threat to our energy. energy structure, so i think that precisely pppo will also be in a priority place, well, and further, it is the training of personnel, the repair of the equipment that is currently used by the armed forces of foreign production, there are certain nuances, which need improvement, and actually, i think that it is extremely important that our ministry of defense at the beginning of these personnel changes that are taking place in our ministry of defense, finally... switched to such working rails so that everyone establishes

normal , effective relations with the representatives of the countries, the anti-russian coalition in the ramstein format, will also be important, so in any case we understand that the 16th ramstein is far from the last, and we are entering the format of such an exhausting war, in which exhausting is exactly in order to the economy and defense of european countries began to work much more efficiently and on a larger scale than it had until now, and to provide for the needs of nato countries, and especially ukraine, in those needs that are needed on the battlefield. by the way, at 9:15, today it is literally... in 20 minutes on youtube and facebook pages of espress, we will broadcast the speech of nato general secretary ens stoltenberg and minister of defense of ukraine rustem umirov from brussels, where the 16th ramstein-format meeting is in progress , that is, it will be possible to watch all this live together with us. mr. serhiy, i wanted to ask you a little more globally, that is, we saw how

in the informational component, uh, let's say, the israeli war against the hamas terrorists overshadowed the topic of the russian-ukrainian war, and this was used to exacerbate on the front line, including the occupiers. now from the point of view of reorientation of the resource, optimistic statements that we will unite and try to provide aid to israel, ukraine and the united states of america in one package, this was heard from the white house, well , we see that in practice... it is not so simply to do everything with all those election chants and beheadings without the speaker of the house and so on, what would you pay attention to, whether this attempt will really be a year ahead for us to simply skip all this political struggle between republicans, democrats and the election campaign with one leap, will this one big package be able to cover what

used to be done, well, seriously, for two minutes. well , i'm not actually a political scientist, but in any case, i understand that the political battles in the united states right now have some effect and are used by representatives of various political parties and forces in order to somehow shape their own priorities in the political struggle regarding aid to ukraine, i am sure in fact that all these... which are directed at the needs of ukraine are quite acceptable for the american budget and even they are minimal, because let's recall, conditionally speaking, there are 40 there or 60 billion in american aid, this amounts to a total of 8% of the budget of the american

pentagon, which is 800 billion there for the fight against covid there, the americans directed there 15 dollars, that is, in fact , the indicators that concern ukraine in terms of assistance in the military component or in the economic are not significant for the american side, and here the only question is how, first of all, the president of the united states, his, the closest environment will form its own policy of persuasion, of certain political forces, in order to ensure a stable process of assistance to ukraine, i think that decisions will be made in the senate that will ensure further stable support of ukraine in the military actions, i am personally convinced of this. mr. sergey, we hope that tomorrow you will be able to analyze the results of ramshtay for us more. we will remind you that we will watch it online with you. thank you, it was serhiy sgorets, director of the defense express information company. 9:00

is approaching, this is the hour when there is a moment of silence and we remember everyone. the dead who fought on the side of ukraine, who suffered from this aggression in this second russian-ukrainian war. let's honor the memory of ukrainians with a moment of silence military and civilian citizens of ukraine who
