civilian vessels remain. another insidious tactic, and dropping guided air bombs there, on the route of movement of this corridor of ours without russia, where they have placed these minefields, actually detonates these mines and they begin to drift over a much larger area. therefore , the only way out for us is to send as many russian ships as possible after the moscow cruiser. so far, about 15% of them have been destroyed, so that , well, the fleet is not capable of fighting there, it is necessary to destroy 40% of it, then what to do with caliber carriers and other ships that hid as far as possible from our drones and missiles, it is necessary to dig such a hole that it stands in the factory for six months, a ship that was sunk, well, actually, sunk and sunk, it is no longer good for anyone, and a ship that received

critical damage, it occupies the factory, occupies doc, the one that can be used, another option is a massive attack on the enemy with half a thousand surface drones, not even all of them, half of them would hit the target and half would be destroyed, it would be a colossal success and it would destroy somewhere from 50 to 70% of the black sea fleet, but even on... destroying half of their fleet, how to maintain control over the black seas, guaranteeing the safety of ukraine from a crazy neighbor. our experts give recipes: the first - mosquito fleet. small boats, they are small, they require much less maintenance costs. the second idea is the gentle militarization of crimea, from surface drone bases to the involvement of allies. this is a united states or british military base. with the possibility for them to place

their own ships and their own planes. the third recipe is already traditional. krantik should be closed there, to somehow blow up this kerch bridge and block the kerch canal, flood something to plug this traffic jam. another recipe is related to the relatively small size of the black sea, and even more so, the sea of ​​azov. any modern aircraft, for example f16 or gripen, will be able to control the water space of the ukrainian seas and hit any target there. kostyantyn pavlov, facts of the week, ictv: the only news. subscribe to our facts of the week youtube channel, there's a lot of interesting stuff here. russian tank killer ukraine will soon receive more american drones kamikaze switch blade 600, writes.

the influential publication news weak, citing the words of the vice president of the company that produces them, switch blade 600, a very cool thing, this barrage munition can reach enemy equipment 80-90 km from the launch site, that is, it will fly behind the front line and destroy targets behind enemy lines. the drone resistant to radio interference is controlled both manually and autonomously, that is, the program itself will search for a target and attack it, the switch blade 600 is armed with a javelin missile, so the efficiency is almost one hundred percent, we need such a drone already yesterday and a lot, because the russians have long had their analogue of the switch blade, it is called a lancet, and unfortunately, it must be admitted, lancets are a great pain to our soldiers, how to protect themselves from russian drones, which can also fly very deep into our rear, he understood serhiy kostysh. improved russian lancets,

unfortunately, we also have aviation losses. how to protect our planes from them? we purchased aircraft models and we have them. and preserve undamaged strategic airfields. it is a completely collapsible structure, which is very convenient understands we sorted out everything to protect yourself from an air strike. if the lancet, if the lancet flies into the net. and explodes at a distance, let's say 10-20 cm from the armor, armor, and also, what is wrong with the enemy's video pret lancet on our aviation. this week, russian propaganda outlets released a video of their drone strike on a ukrainian su-25 aircraft at the dovhintseve airfield, near kryvyi rih, which is located approximately 70 km from the front line. at the cross-shaped target, it is clear who hit the russian air defense missile lancet. video from

it often appears on russian channels, it is almost the only means by which the enemy can attack our equipment, but even with this video there is a nuance, it is very clear that it is too old. the video is old, as is usually the case with russian propaganda, but, unfortunately, this does not change the fact that russian uavs are already flying far beyond the front line and can hit targets even at a distance of several tens, and it is necessary to understand how this happens and due to which the enemy changes his tactics. the ineffectiveness of missile strikes on civilian infrastructure and good work ukrainian pro, forces the opponent. focus on other objects that are closer to the front line. of course, military airfields are under the enemy's crosshairs, our pilots who carry out strikes on the occupied territories, in particular on crimea, are a headache for the russians, we see how western weapons are used successfully, that is why there are also strikes on our airfields,

unfortunately, we also have losses in aviation, this is no secret, today we have to protect those planes, which today the pilots who are hitting the occupier, these are the planes of the soviet fleet, but in in the future, we have f-16 or other types of aircraft, they too will of course require even more thorough protection. the spokesman of the air force of the ukrainian armed forces, yuriy ignat, says that there is no need to look for the guilty, this is a war, and therefore it is necessary to look for an antidote. the planes are constantly in motion, if you see the message, the planes are constantly missing hits, he needs to leave, he needs to refuel, he needs to be serviced, hitch those. the missiles themselves, complete the task, return, it cannot be hidden all the time, so unfortunately we also have losses, but how did the lancet get so far, and also with an escort drone, aviation expert valery romanenko recalls another episode with a lancet at another airfield in mykolaiv and says, at the moment, such a distance

is no longer safe, i measured the distance from the enemy positions, well, the combat lines to both airfields, and such drones like a lancet can be launched a kilometer away from the combat line, but there they were released and left, so the distance from the combat line to the mykolaiv airfield is 50, there is 55 km, yes, and to dolzhansky somewhere 77-75 km. the lancet is a close-range drone, he says volunteer drone manufacturer, yuriy kasyanov, but there is one thing, the range can be increased if you reduce the warhead, that is, the power of the warhead. of course, the drone will inflict less. damage, but will still disable the vehicle, especially since the wing design allows it to pike effectively. it's all a balance between battery, capacity, it's all a balance between battery, capacity, battery size and warhead weight. you can put a smaller weight of the combat unit, more

batteries, and you can fly for 100 km. the question lies in the range of signal retransmission. we always see this video because another drone is filming, which is the gunner... and it is a signal relay. this drone, it flies far, it's not seen by our air defenses, it sees the target, calls a lancet behind it, which flies behind it and provides communication for it, because the lancet flies low, and we know that the conditions for transmitting radio signals in line of sight. under the conditions of the range of the lancets , not only the front is under attack, but also a wide strip far in the rear. and the issue of comprehensive protection in such conditions is very important. relevant, therefore that this should be an unprecedented system that has never existed anywhere in the world , perhaps only israel has similar experience, because it is not only about airfields and airplanes, it is about a large number of objects that are deep in the body, this and headquarters

, and locations, troops, and artillery, and civilian objects, objects of critical infrastructure, all of this requires complex cover, the main question is how to ensure the protection of everything close to you. at the same time, so that the protection systems themselves do not become the object of an attack, there are passive methods of protection, there are active methods of protection, yes, passive methods of dispersal of aviation, there are so-called zbu, reinforced concrete shelters, reinforced concrete shelters, they are so mushroom-shaped in shape, have large iron gates and support for aviation, well, there is the suspension of weapons, the inspection of systems, the introduction of onboard equipment there, some types of flight pairs can be carried out right in this zhbu, the gates open, the plane taxis, rises into the air, flies, performs the task, after it returns, but it is another zhbu, they can be covered at least with artillery systems, because the russian

drones, strike drones, they do not strike at night, they simply cannot see, there is neither a lancet nor a kuba, there is no actual night aiming lens, that is, in... you can cover with anti-aircraft machine guns, another option , deceive the opponent, for example, in this video, which was posted by the russians themselves, the lancet does not hit the beech, but his. layout, instead of a bright explosion , chips fly in different directions. we purchased aircraft models and we have them. and once russians terribly wondered where they were, when they hit, such a drone, a lancet, hit a beech, and there the debris flew into the sky, then they guessed that this beech was wooden. another way is such full-fledged shelters for equipment, which are made of a frame and chain link mesh, they are already mass- produced by ukrainian manufacturers, simply cheap and effective. "well, these shelters, they were developed together with the military at their request, because currently on the front line, well

, the russians use lancets a lot, they are such a fairly accurate weapon, and therefore there is a need to protect the equipment, the development of these shelters, it was made on the basis of drawings that we received from our western partners, that is, they have similar shelters, but we made our own improvements there , taking into account the tactics that now..." the russians are using. it's a bit like barbecues, which the russians molded into tanks before the invasion and which did not save them from javelins. but our manufacturers also took this experience into account. it is a fully collapsible structure that is very conveniently disassembled, transported, assembled on site, that is, it can be untwisted and literally there, move from position to position with your hands. according to yuri kasyanov, it is really effective, because the cumulative charge of the lancet is instantly dissipated without reaching the equipment , if the lancet hits the net it explodes, if the lancet flies into the net and explodes at a distance of,

say, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 cm from armor, then the demulative jet is greatly weakened by hundreds of times, sometimes it just leaves some kind of black spot on the hull, so it definitely works, with planes it works differently, because planes are usually not affected by cumulative a jet, and a high-explosive fragmentation charge. but if you build a wide shelter, the plane stands inside and against the walls, let's say, and there is about five meters left to the ceiling, then the probability of damage by debris and the depth of damage by these debris is significantly reduced, but it is even better to develop your own defensive weapons, especially that there is potential for this in ukraine. currently , the domestic industry is already testing both new systems of radio-electronic combat against enemy drones and its long- range uavs. the question is only in in how it will be possible to quickly adjust their production in order to overtake the opponent.

the russian-ukrainian war is becoming more and more a war of drones, and therefore it is important to improve not only the attacking capabilities, which we constantly see in various videos, but also the capabilities of defense against enemy drones. only by working in both directions at the same time can we bring our victory closer. serhiy kostash, ictv facts of the week, single news. chevrons approaching victory, be who you want to be, you can be who you want to be, you

you can be whoever you want, you can be whoever you want, you can become whoever you want, you're like, everything's fine, like children, like mom, i've got more or less everything, well, almost, of course, that's tired , of course, insomnia, but in no case do not feel it, because... the power is here, inside us, and in those who are nearby. we will definitely overcome everything. our team documents war crimes and we talk to people who have gone through kidnapping, sexual abuse, torture, infiltration camps, these are very scary stories, it is impossible to get used to it. they help me simple things i try to bring structure back into my life through planning. it is also important for me to feel control over my life, through cleaning the workplace,

washing the dishes, you see the result here and now, you want to know how to help yourself and others, go to the site how are you.com. pppo for rent, it turns out, can be such a service. if your neighbor, tell about russia, which wants to freeze and leave the whole country without electricity. president volodymyr zelenskyy said that ukraine will receive additional anti-aircraft systems. defense, but only on winter, that is, in the spring, we will return them to the owner countries , zelskyi did not specify what kind of countries they are, but their systems should definitely not be redundant for a few months, because it is for the winter that russia is preparing massive attacks on our energy infrastructure. the fact that we have not been bombarded with cruise missiles from airplanes for several weeks should not reassure us.

moscow is stockpiling supplies and waiting for cold weather so that the blows are as painful as possible, because putin has not given up on his bloody plans, the implementation of which he began exactly 20 years ago, or rather, it was such a test of the pen the russian dictator, when in autumn 2003 russia decided to capture the ukrainian island of tuzla in the sea of ​​azov. what was the strategic value of the island, and how did kyiv manage to thwart moscow's scenario. kateryna pavlovska will recall the historical facts. the struggle for tuzla, the island of tuzla, the first special operation of the president of the russian federation - to seize crimea, the continuation of putin's position to put pressure on ukraine. how ukraine defended its territories in 2003.

17 combat aircraft were launched. even then, russia tried to impose separatist sentiments. you are ready to return to mother russia's bosom? due to which it was possible to stop the construction of the dam, which was rapidly approaching our borders. force would indeed be used. and to win much more than just a large part of the land. thin southern vegetation and flimsy houses of local sailors. in the early 2000s, for a small one. only 25 people live on the border island of tuzla, but it is from them that the ukrainian border guards will receive the first messages, on september 23, 2003 from the side of the taman peninsula of russia in the direction of the ukrainian spit of tuzla to start construction of the dam, which is growing at a record pace. just as they felt that there would be some kind

of struggle for the spit, marginal nationalists exiled by russia appeared for the first time in tuzla. on the same day, the 29th, we received urgent information that there was an encroachment on the territory of our state, people in cossack uniforms were landing and working on the island of kasatuzla, who were working with the local residents of the island, such work that you are ready to return to the bosom of mother russia? at this time , there are literally clouds of dust around the taman peninsula, one hundreds of trucks, construction cranes, and excavators simply converge there after one. there were people who showed that they were spies, that it was a game of the armed forces of the russian federation. the first version the russians are building the dam at the initiative of the governor of the krasnodar territory, tkachev. today, in general, there was such

a conversation, which greatly surprised and saddened me, because in the statement of the head of the administration, liv mykolaevich, the following was said. words that they were going to reach land after all, according to the map of the year 71. yes, the russians sound unreasonable for the first time historical claims. in russia at this time , the election campaign is in full swing. vladimir putin is running for a second term, exactly six months until the day of the vote, the attempts of the ukrainian government to establish contacts with the kremlin are silent there. it was, yes, a continuation of that. putin's position is gradually putting pressure on ukraine , and it is certain that even though tkachev declares that putin has nothing to do with it, who can believe the small tankers and massive tankers peacefully feeding in the kerch area of ​​the black sea. struggle for tuzla for ukraine, also

an economic issue, because the passage of the kerchenikal canals to azov. at that moment, the sea is controlled by our country, 30 ships pass through it per day, paying duties to the kerch port, and they just want to squeeze this strait in putin's style for the first time. today , the russians are raising the issue of joint use of the territorial waters of the kershchinikal canal. but wait, let me, for 12 years the commercial port was engaged in dredging, investing huge amounts of money there. and if we lose it, we we will lose the revenue part of the budget. but there is much more at stake: military control, the possibility of passage of nato ships through the strait, and not only that. who. owns the island of tuzla, it owns the kerch strait, owns the equator and all the minerals

that are in this water area, therefore the pressure from russia is unprecedented, fsb boats brazenly enter ukrainian territorial waters, they also activate combat aviation, from that side the exercises of the seventh paratrooper division. increasing efforts, accumulation of relevant ones resources and creation of groups. the tension is growing literally every hour. how to protect an island that has never had even a regular border post and not provoke a military conflict. it was decided to send a detachment of border guards to tuzla, who will later be called 300 spartans. young and strong guys who are good at both hand-to-hand and fire fighting. on september 10 , 300 of the best border guards were sent to tuzla and they will intensively conduct real combat training, not training. for the first time in tuzla by a border post

ukrainian territory is marked, a temporary border outpost and a full-fledged military district are being built. the island of tuzla appears. on october 2 , demonstration exercises of ukrainian aviation begin in tuzla. at that time, 17 warplanes, sud-27 and mig-29, were launched into the air in this area, the water area is controlled by the balaklava ship-boat group, there is a special armored vehicle on the shore, which is used to wash away the dam under the village, every day the russians increase it by 100 -150 m. ukrainian border guards include a trick, they blow up models of equipment on the island. layouts we put the tanks on the blast furnace in the trenches, started the engines at night. the ryov pts of floating transporters is standing there, and the russians got the impression that there were also tanks and that we were conducting a demonstrative mining of the water area, these were mock-ups, we had large-scale, painted mines,

the condition was created that a normal person, she understood that the ukrainians were preparing for serious moments. the russians respond to this with a wave of propaganda, which sounds from loudspeakers, calling for resistance and not to interfere with the construction, in fact giving up. without fighting, at this time the commander-in-chief the president of ukraine, leonid kochme, has a long -planned visit to latin america, but just after his plane leaves ukraine, the russians dramatically accelerate construction, even in brazil he is still trying to call putin. he could not be contacted immediately. he couldn't get in touch in brazil right away, so we actually stayed there for one day, and immediately... flew out from there and landed right in simferopol, precisely in simferopol. on october 22, the president is already in tuzla, with binoculars across the strait, he personally

looks at the construction of the dam on the same day gives the order to open fire to defeat if there is a violation of the border. president kuchma approached the sniper and said: who are you going to shoot at, son, at a russian, he said: "no, at a violator of the state code of conduct." i made a very serious statement, and there was already 100 m left, if it continues, we will open fire, i said publicly, and the ukrainian military was ready to carry out this order, even if, in one of the worst scenarios, the russians would capture the island. if force was really used, then volleys division of 18 combat vehicles, we destroyed the hulls. land, that is when the russians will stop construction literally 100 m from the ukrainian border, and even if they sign an agreement on the joint use

of the sea of ​​azov and the kerch strait, this will only be a background to the events of 2014, because it is in tuzla that the pillars of the same crimean bridge that the zsu has yet to be destroyed in order to defend the borders of 1991, which russia continues to encroach upon. kateryna pavlovska. facts of the week you will find more interesting things on youtube channel facts of the week. subscribe to us. in order not to miss the analysis of the main events of the week and interviews with cool experts. and we say goodbye to you until next sunday. glory to ukraine. chevorony, approaching. victory our

a solution, we are summarizing information for monday. in the studio of olena frolyak. i welcome you to the marathon. big final issue, today is october 16, exactly the 600th day of the great war, see in our issue. the enemy struck at dnipropetrovsk region and poltava region, trying to attack in the bakhmut and avdiiv directions. the latest general staff meetings and direct inclusion from the front line. poland chose democracy according to the preliminary official results of the parliamentary elections, the ruling

party, which has been in power for eight years , cannot form a majority with its result. mobile operators are preparing for blackouts, buying new batteries, installing solar power plants, stocking up on mobile stations, and if there is no light for a long time, it will not save. the unknown of the military and the discrediting of the archaic selection system scares potential defenders the most, so military brigades increasingly recruit fighters through recruiting. the ideal method of mobilization is somehow not welcomed in high offices. a special representative from the united states arrived in kyiv to monitor ukraine's economic recovery. penny pritzker met with ukrainian journalists for the first time today. they are fired upon, but they work, indomitable kherson farmers , despite the war, the occupation, the blowing up of gas stations, the impossibility of selling what they have grown, do not lose optimism and believe in the best. special

report. from kherson region. so, first of all, fresh reports from the general staff of the armed forces. today, more than 50 combat clashes took place in different areas of the front. in addition, the enemy launched six rocket and almost four dozen air strikes. in the kupyan direction, our soldiers repelled 16 attacks by krashists. three clashes took place in the bakhmut district. near marinka , the ukrainian military stopped another 16 assaults by the occupiers. the invaders pressed unsuccessfully and seven attacks were repulsed in the avdiiv direction. instead, our soldiers continue a confident offensive in the direction of melitopol and south of bakhmut. also, during the day , the ukrainian aviation carried out four strikes on the areas of concentration of russian units and their weapons. in the air force command of the region
