[000:00:00;00] the enemy was completely demoralized, and then an unexpected question arose on the last day, when we were leaving, it turned out that in this brigade, to which this battalion belonged, there were 32 full-time snipers, who were equipped with absolutely beautiful gmentovka, which could have the ability to actually work day and night, but they told me that there is no way to work on the battle line... the skirmish behind the skirmish line and so on, then my sniper team commander, who has been in the profession for 15 years i just started yelling at the chief of staff, what is this, i worked here for a week, here are my results, here are the results of my guys, your 32 beds are equipped with everything that the state gave them and that's it, after all the training,

they lie down and so on, that they couldn't buy themselves thermal ponchos, which protected them from russian drones at night, that they couldn't do that at five to ten, and in order to be able to really function, i want to say here that everything depends very much on how experienced people are leading these sniper teams groups below as far as they are accordingly, they are proactive, as much as they can use this huge toolkit, because there are really such stupid... approaches when , on the contrary, the snipers have worked and only then the guys who are defending there are even more coming from artillery, mortars and so on, and it would be better they did not appear there, but it really happens that snipers are used as a high-precision surgical tool, but it all depends, again, on specific commanders, specific sniper groups,

how experienced they are, how well they know how to use this... tool, well, it also depends on the fact that there are good snipers in some areas of the front, but the command cannot understand that they should, say, really be formed into autonomous groups and that they really have the opportunity to work autonomously , to cut tasks for ourselves, to propose to the command, and in agreement with the command, it is very cool to work and accordingly then have results, now everywhere in the south, in the east. where these groups function, they perform a huge number of tasks, especially where the russians are pressing near kupyansk and are trying to capture kupyansk, the most dangerous situation is right now, even more dangerous than near avdiivka, and we are sending a large number of guys there, for example, from the kherson direction, from other minor directions, and there are results, because people act autonomously,

they know what to do. and, accordingly, they can act even in a team that is just a sniper couple and already do miracles, and when they come there with 6-10 people with an escort, then, accordingly, the results are fantastic, unfortunately, there are losses, because for the whole war we lost seven snipers for these 200, even more snipers who are our subordinates, in the last 10 days we lost two snipers and yesterday we lost two more, but in general you that this survivability is absolutely fantastic for the front, that is, well 11 killed for several hundred snipers, it shows that this is a highly professional backbone of the defense, and now that the main recruits, they are very uninitiative, they are so passive, they tend to leave their positions and so on, and no matter how much you train them, they

one thing, well, these are not combative guys who are in the 22nd made up the backbone of the army, now it is necessary to value professionals in each profession accordingly and snipers to be this backbone, because very often the boys just watch, snipers with machine gunners do not leave, so we stay, snipers say that it is better to storm a high-rise than to die in this landing, as was the case with the robot, because they stormed... the dominant height, because simply, if they understood that they would die in the landing, they told us again, we will lead you, by pins, and you will be able to storm, well, let's go, all the same, we will die in the landing, and accordingly, really act so that everyone survives, and so that more ordinary fighters really survive, and for this we need to strengthen these sniper groups, now everyone is asking for 375

caliber, 416 408, that is, long-range rifles that can shoot further than 2 km, all very strongly they are asking, it would be necessary for the state to pay attention, and we are now... collecting another batch of such rifles, in total we gave 30 such rifles to the front out of all 2016, but we want to direct our efforts to these rifles right now, so which is especially on in the south, where there are long distances and it is necessary to get orcs from a very short distance, there are professionals who are ready to switch to these calibers and use them effectively, then it would be necessary for the state to... also wake up and provide more of the boys with precisely such calibers, well, that is, in fact , if i summarize what i heard from you, firstly, the sniper groups that gained experience there before the start of the active phase are now carriers of that combat

experience, and in fact they can be the backbone that will ensure the effectiveness of the units on the battlefield , even beyond sniper directions, the problem is that not all commanders at the brigade or battalion level , or rather at the brigade level, understand the effect of sniper activity, and the main problem is to ensure that the experience of sniper groups is disseminated to the brigade commanders themselves, so that they understand this effectiveness, and the third component is the new requirements for weapons, we should now pay more attention to the appearance in our sniper groups, rifles with a range of 2 km plus and all this in the complex are the main elements, here i want to say that, for example, the positive experience of the offensive corps, where they simply took sniper groups that were in brigades, appointed that the senior sniper of the corps, here is one, who exactly is so experienced, who does not have 15 years of experience,

but five, and he is accordingly very a rational person, very well provides the guys themselves logistically, and does a lot with our help, and this, accordingly, brought the overall sniper business in the offensive corps to a completely different level, that is, if you have snipers who say that you know, there is no way to work, yet something and so on, just take them, put them in a group that would obey some highly professional cool guy who is really ready to fight, let him not even be an officer or an officer, and let him accordingly... all these people, which in principle would be ready to fight if they were properly commanded, then let him use them more effectively, that is, there are two tasks, the first is to provide more and more all the time, especially with cool

drones, sniper groups, cool rifles, and the second - to look for it accordingly these hidden reserves, where, accordingly, there are trained snipers, but they cannot dispose of them correctly... accordingly, where , for example, there are still some remnants of good rifles, they could be repaired and sent into battle, which also sometimes happens , that is, all this must be sought out and strengthened, the professional backbone of the army must be strengthened all the time, the one that remained there from the 14th, from the 22nd year, all these guys should be trusted by the machine gunners and so on, and efforts to , to increase survival accordingly, we now, for example, are directing efforts to increase survivability not only among snipers, yes, but also among the assault groups that they cover, and so we are, for example, looking for

ways to provide them with mini-machine guns, handguns, respectively, and to make it more than that, so that if they are piled up with machine guns during the assault, the feathers cover, accordingly, this assault group, then the losses among the stormtroopers become four to five times smaller, we need to preserve this professional air of the army, otherwise there will be no one to go on the assault, because it’s easy to prepare even in the west guys and say go storm, they won’t go, it is necessary that there should be something in a person, well, some kind of restrained of all these people with a rod, it is necessary to protect it like gold and invest more material resources, that is, that there should be, for example, female snipers 10 times more, artillery 10 times more, machine guns 15 to 16 times more, especially in the national guard, and

in order to reduce the total losses, then, due to the fact that we have a huge saturation of weapons and understanding, according to the fact that what is better to invest there in starting from drones and ending... than let's just say it's people, because those people who are new come, they don't have the quality that was in those people who have already died, you can't just...' continue this further, you have to keep people's lives, it is necessary that our army be as saturated with weapons as the german army, at least the army during the second world war, just look at how the detachment had its own machine gun, necessarily, and we have, accordingly, that the people have two machine guns , and this is already considered very good, it should not be so absolutely, accordingly, if a platoon, then it is

at least four machine guns of its own. mortar and the like, and when we have such saturation, then we will be able to advance effectively accordingly, look at our successes, we actually crushed the entire army in the south, but it is a huge effort and it is a huge bloodshed, and it is necessary , accordingly, that it there were simply huge efforts, huge resources, but the lives of the guys were preserved during the grinding of all those on duty. russian armies during our offensive, during our defense. mr. yuri, very much thank you for your inclusion, you said a lot of important things , i think we will spread them on the defense express resource as well, because you really said the key things, they are extremely important, i will remind our viewers that it was yuri chornomorets, a sniper and a volunteer , on the facebook page of yuriy chornomorets, you can find directions in which you can support ukrainian sniping, determine which samples are currently purchased by yuriy chornom. and support these initiatives, because as we can see, precisely at

the expense of our snipers, we have a substantial advantage over the enemy and have the opportunity to destroy the enemy, minimizing losses, first of all among our personnel, and further to another topic, which is also related to the advantage, we are talking about the active use of drones and primarily fpv drones. what is the situation with the training of operators of these drones in ukraine, is there progress , what are the problems, what are the difficulties, we are now talking about this with our next guest, ihor kravchenko is joining us, he is a reserve lieutenant colonel, the leading instructor of the training center for upl operators. mr. igor, i congratulate you, glad to see and hear. good day studio, good day, dear viewers, glad to see you all. i'll start with the question i asked yuriy chornomovets about training snipers. what is the situation with the training of fpv drone operators based on your example.

of the training center, what is the situation in the country, are there positive dynamics, or are there any difficulties that complicate, in particular, the scaling of operator training, of course, if we compare the situation that was at the beginning of the war, that is, an absolute drama, nothing and everyone used it, whoever finds it, to date, the work is basically fixed, many centers are already training operators, not only fpv drones, but also other types and classes. drones, if you know, according to our regulatory documents, they are multi-rotors and drones of the aircraft type three, those drones, they can be both multi-rotor and aircraft type, so we work in both directions, and with such types of drones, and with the aircraft type, the aircraft type is a little more difficult, but we have already mastered this, this from the type of training, and work is in full swing, in general , to date, we have already managed to train about 300

bpp operators. and when we talk about the training of operators, is there a connection with our military, that is, is there a guarantee that when the operator is trained, he will really get into a unit where his skills will be applied, and not become there, in particular, a shooter there, grenade launcher, are there any there at all, well, yes, i understand your question, there are such cases, but such cases are more isolated, as a rule, in the operator it is valuable, so to speak, and the resource of the commander, which he tries to use, of course according to his purpose, therefore the operators of course perform, most often perform their work, therefore, well, most of our military personnel are trained and there is a certain understanding of what they are trained for and for which tasks, that's why there are such cases, i would say they are isolated, and in principle, most of the time, people are engaged in their business, what they studied for, but what about your training in your center? combat experience is taken into account, because

we see that every day something changes by the way, some other conditions appear there, how does this exchange take place between practitioners, well, and initial theoreticians who want to become practitioners, of course, we stay in touch with our graduates, the waste to us is feedback to them communication, they bring us useful information, if something new appears there, or something the russians have, the russians, too, by the way... they are progressing, they do not stop at one place, and we can learn a lot from this enemy as well, so of course feedback is there, and we are we try to implement everything that is new in our training. but all the same, we have many advantages in this regard, which i probably wouldn't mention now, but nevertheless, there is a connection and everything works in a progressive direction. mr. igor, does the variety of structures, drones

and their combat units complicate, in particular, the training of operators, and how does this affect the specifics of training? yes, of course, it makes it difficult, because many people already come like that. they already have initial experience of using uavs, well, for example, they come from learn about the type of wing of a multirotor, the principle of flight is completely different, here you need to understand more about aerodynamics, speeds, the ability to control, that's why, even the philosophy of flight is completely different here, if you are on a multirotor you can stop the drone, then on the wings of the drone you can't stops, he is constantly flying somewhere and he needs to understand where you are directing him, so here, as i always tell our students and cadets, that your thought flies ahead of the plane, then you will be an adequate and normal, experienced pilot, so yes, of course it makes the training more difficult, but it's not that critical, people get experience with the warheads, with the cameras, with the software, then they just pick the experience they need, like from a multirotor to

an aircraft type , and they can once again continue to perform combat missions already on other unmanned aerial vehicles. mr. igor, i would like you to elaborate on something , i understand that people who are not yet, not, not fighting, can come to you and study, they can study at their own will, or they can be operators from the armed forces who can come to your school and acquire certain skills, are these two processes combined, do you only take the first course of study, no, the two processes combined, in my opinion, that's really great, because people, for example civilians come, they see, the military, they join this cause, they have an understanding and a vision, perhaps a vision of their purpose in the future, when they will already be soldiers, will be mobilized and will already begin to perform combat tasks, so in my opinion that's pretty great, we

gather, young and experienced pilots and they communicate, exchange experience, and in my opinion this is very important, that is why we work in both directions, and the process of training operators is a process, it is all a financial and costly direction, and the question arises whether there is support on the part of the state, such training centers as yours, because relatively speaking, at the beginning of the year, i remember , the ministry of statistics financed there, then some peculiarities began there, and this led to restrictions, how this situation looks now, you know, unfortunately, these features are not shared anywhere and they are present, of course, you rightly said that it is quite expensive and , well, high-tech things, they cost a lot of money, so especially the training process, drones fight, i have not yet seen more than one drone that was not destroyed sooner or later, because people learn and it's normal, it's a normal process, it should be like that, learning, how it happens, knowledge, skills, skills, because by the time you get to the skills,

naturally you'll get a lot of cones, so it is necessary, yes, financial infusions are definitely needed, unfortunately, now i can't... i can't to say, unfortunately, that the support was so great, the support of the state is organized, that's why these are specific moments, they are unfortunately happening, well, this is an important moment, because , linguistically speaking, we are now talking about the fact that we have to manufacture a larger number of drones, what is the point in increasing the number if we do not have the ability of experienced operators who will use this number on the battlefield, there is probably a logical error here that must be taken into account either by the min digits or minobors or by another structure, absolutely, absolutely you are right, therefore... look, in order to further improve our communication with the state , so to speak, with the defense, with the general staff, we are now engaged in the certification of our center, so to speak, in order to make it clear that we are fulfilling regulatory orders, which prescribe the training

, what knowledge, abilities, skills a pilot-operator of unmanned aerial systems should have, and get recognition, so to speak, yes, certification of the center, and i hope that after that our communication will become... more understandable and we will be appropriate we already communicate a little more adequately in this direction. mr. igor, now there is such a military accounting specialty as a drone operator. has she already appeared in these in military colors or not yet? yes, it has already appeared and little by little they are getting used to it, because it is a completely new topic, unfortunately, it is still in the second year of the war, but there are already positive developments in this direction. mr. igor, thank you very much for the work you do for our armed forces, for our defense, for the work of your school, for the work of your courses, i will remind our viewers that this was ihor kravchenko, the leading instructor of the training center. training of bpp operators kruk reserve lieutenant colonel and understand that now we are at such a decisive

stage of hostilities, when we must be adaptive, innovative and understand all the risks on the one hand of a long-term war, and on the other hand have the opportunity to adapt to it and overtake the enemy in those directions where we have sufficient potential, here we can talk about snipers, and about the increase of experienced instructors who use drones, which now, by the way, destroy a significant... amount of enemy equipment, even competing with mortars, so these nuances must be taken into account in order to increase the effectiveness of our combat operations, so these are the main conclusions that can be drawn from this military program, and then stay tuned to the espresso channel , a child caught a virus, mother vera has faith in dekasan , inhaled dekasan gets into the lungs where the virus is, dekasan works, mother vira is happy, dekasan is an inhalation against viruses and bacteria, and

the main thing, on weekdays at 9:00, i made a decision to conduct a special military operation. this is just an illustration of a much bigger and more dangerous story, how in 30 years the russian orthodox church in ukraine has evolved from agitators of the russian world to terrorists. if it were not for the activities of the russian orthodox church, there would be no war. we firmly know that russian peace and russian orthodoxy. bring us

war, death and ruins. every week, the saturday political club helps to understand the processes taking place in ukraine and the world. vitaly portnikov, host of espresso and invited experts, based on facts, give their assessment and forecast of the development of events. if you want to understand how our today... will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday politics club, every saturday on espresso. congratulations, we are looking for this girl, her name is angelina zavatska, she is 17 years old. angelina disappeared in the city of kherson, it happened at the end of 2022. unfortunately, the exact date of the girl's disappearance is unknown, so no it is excluded that even before the liberation of kherson. she could be taken to the territory of russia. of course, this is only an assumption, and angelina can be in the territory under the control of ukraine, and

, for example, in the temporarily occupied part of the kherson region. so i ask everyone who sees this video to look at the girl's face as carefully as possible. if you know anything about angelina zavadska, don't delay and immediately call our hotline at the short number 1163. if you are unable to call, you can always write to us on the website or in the chatbot of the child search service in telegram. also, i really ask you to repost this video, maybe one of your friends or acquaintances will recognize angelina and help you find her or find out at least some information about her. do not remain indifferent and let's try to find angelina zavadska together. in total, the children's tracing service received thousands of calls after the full-scale raid. about the search, and many boys and girls disappear during the occupation. of course, due to obvious reasons, the search process on territories not controlled by ukraine, is very

complicated. in particular, due to lack of communication. and the paralyzed work of the police and children's services, but general advice if you have a child missing in the occupied territory is as follows: if possible, by any means available, contact the police or magnolia children's services and report the child missing to all you know information that can help in the search. collect data about the child, write down his full name, date of birth, circumstances and place of disappearance. of course, it will help. find it photos of the child and inform about his special signs and circle of communication. in the future, follow the instructions of the police or the counselors of the magnolia child tracing service hotline. one of those girls who disappeared in the temporarily occupied territory is 16-year-old yulia kurbel. a friend of yuli turned to us for help. the girl did not want to talk on camera, but in a private

conversation she told some details that could be. in search so, yulia kurbel disappeared in the city of severo-donetsk, luhansk region. at the beginning of the war, yulia gave first to know about myself, however, in march 2022, when severe shelling began in severonetsk, the connection with the girl was cut off, and since then, unfortunately, there has been no news about her. we also know the exact address where yulia kurbel lived, 117 gagarina street, tseverodonetsk. here is the actual photo of the house where yulia lived. and now i turn. primarily to residents of occupied north donetsk. if you suddenly see this program, i ask you to come to gagarin 117 and ask the residents of this building about 15-year-old yuli kurbel. or does she still live there or where and with whom can she be now? if you learn at least something about the fate of yulia kurbel, please notify us immediately on the free hotline of the child tracing service at the short

number 116.30. however, at the same time, there is a very high probability that yulia is no longer in severonetsk, moreover, precisely at the beginning of march, when the connection with the girl was cut off, the evacuation of the civilian population was carried out in severodonetsk, and perhaps yulia and her parents managed to leave for another region or even abroad. so i ask everyone please look at yulia kurbel's face, she is 16 years old, she has light hair and light eyes. if you know anything about yulia. about where she might be now, call us on the hotline 116:30, calls are free from all mobile operators. we have created a resource through which you can report any crime against a child , anywhere, anytime, just go to the site and report, and we will launch all possible mechanisms to punish the offender.
