karpati are raising money. for two devices of night vision for soldiers of the 102nd brigade of the 201st battalion of the verkhovyna territorial defense. the soldiers have been holding the defense in the zaporozhye direction for 8 months. defenders need night vision devices to be their eyes. our goal is uah 342. at this moment , we already have 2430. you, our viewers, have already helped to close many meetings. please join this as well. they. they protect our skies from russian drones, prevent the enemy from destroying critical infrastructure facilities and terrorizing the civilian population. on the anti-aircraft missile platoon of the 114th brigade works in belotserkivshchyna, whose soldiers protect the ukrainian sky day and night. lyubov gerashchenko will tell about the strong, agile and motivated defenders. without exaggeration, they can be called the guardian angels of the ukrainian sky and those who

protect our peace. the dedicated rocket artillery platoon of the 114th separate brigade bravely protects us from the enemy, as the commander of the unit with the call sign says, it is not difficult to manage the guys, each of them is motivated and has served since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, working with them is a pleasure, there is no need to repeat many times, everyone knows what they are here for and what they have to do, the guys in the group live in certain positions, so even with the team there is readiness two or readiness number one, the guys leave in a firing position and they are already starting to work on identifying and destroying targets, they are working: defenders with soviet-type weapons, this is a machine gun that replaced the old dshk, its caliber is 12.7 mm, but as the military emphasizes, although the control is mechanical, the weapon is quite effective, in addition

defenders of the sky use other means to better see air targets. the main task in order to hit a target is to see it, because all our weapons are such that in order to use a weapon, you need to see the target, in order to. in order to see, we use night vision devices, thermal imagers, for example, at night when we work, we use binoculars during the day, and we also use searchlights at night. the defenders also have a portable anti-aircraft missile system with which they deftly repel enemy attacks. one of the fighters hryenia has been in military affairs for five years, shares, wants as much as possible. of enemy birds, this is arrow 3, a modification of the previous arrow two, a fairly effective sample more for low-speed targets, let’s say so, that is, not

for ballistics, no, this weapon is not suitable for ballistics, when a target is detected, the manpads shooter decides in which mode he will work, i.e. to meet the target or to catch up and then... it already starts to work with arrow three, i.e., the sights are opened, the bias bar, eh, the trigger is attached mechanism, and when a target is detected, choosing the automatic or semi-automatic or manual mode, we open fire, defenders work 24/7 and are always on guard of the airspace, but when an alarm is issued, they go to the location of the deployment, at three or four, the guys work harmoniously every time and at the same time, even automatic machines can go into action, but they track targets in a special program on a tablet, if we detect a target, we conduct loading fire

so that the air target flies there, and also in the dark, we have tracer cartridges, which we, if we see, we aim and the machine gunner also works in the right direction, the fighters are also physically prepared, so they perform all the tasks perfectly, they claim, even if they lack experience, there is no fear, what do you feel when you work for this weapon, excitement , to make everything work, at the highest level and to hit the target, the biggest excitement, not to hit the target. lyubov gerashchenko, oleksandr kuga, espresso, bila tserkva. while serving in the armed forces, the ukrainian military received a batch of the latest canadian- made senator armored vehicles. machine. has improved protection against detonation on mines, it increases the safety of our soldiers, during the execution of tasks, also in armored vehicles, the body has been changed, it redirects the blast wave and debris from the vehicle. the car is designed for 10 people, the armored vehicle

was developed taking into account the experience of use by our defense forces. guilty or innocent? switzerland has launched an investigation into possible foreign funding of hamas. hidden sources in the country, the federal prosecutor refused to give specific information, against whom the proceedings are being conducted, because it can jeopardize the process. this process is complicated, and it started a few weeks before the hamas attack on israel. i should note that, unlike yes, hamas is not banned in switzerland. in the capital of france, after a report of a possible explosion from the palace of versailles , visitors were evacuated for the sixth time in a week. according to le figaro, the tours of 500 people had to be interrupted, the police arrived on the scene with dogs , the administration of the institution informed that the museum will be opened as soon as all checks are carried out, and although the tourist season is coming to an end

end, at this time of the year versailles is visited by 10 to 15 tourists. uefa fined the lithuanian football federation €10,000 for... chalky about putin. the ukrainian national song was shouted by the fans of the latter during the match of the national team of serbia against lithuania. uefa defined it as a violation, for which it issued a fine. one of the leaders of the team, eustas lasitskas, came to the defense of his fans, called for the slogan to be chanted in the future, and the players of the national team to pay a fine, i note, one of the match delegates who came from kazakhstan complained about the fans. that's the case for the moment, and then watch saturday's political club with vitaly portnikov and

lesa vakulyuk. good evening, dear friends, vitaly fortniko, saturday flight, we are glad to see you, and for the next two hours we will analyze together with our guests and also mr. vitaly will analyze the main events of this week that happened in ukraine and so. while we will talk with our guests, vasyl pavlov, military historian, head of the expert group on internal communications, directorate of information policy in the field of defense and of strategic communications of the ministry of defense of ukraine. congratulations mr. vasyl. good evening. well, let's start with avdiivka, because what is happening around avdiivka right now is just, by the way, special on your line.

military historian, these wave offensives, when they retreat and then advance again, remind me very much of soviet military tactics during the second world war, when just soviet generals and marshals, who will later be called marshals of victory, waves, waves, er sent troops and did not look at the victims, just so that fulfill the task of the political leadership, it is similar to avdiivka now, or not so much, events here. around avdiivka can be combined with a whole series of events during the second world war on the eastern front, or with, say, such a well-known event as the battle for rzhev, where the soviet troops for almost 14 months attacked a small area precisely with wave-like attacks and could not master it with huge losses, or such, tens, you can say, or hundreds or... thousands of events, which under

the general name, you can say so, on on an unnamed height, there were thousands of such heights, on which the red army placed hundreds of thousands, or millions of its soldiers, trying to take it, either by a specific date, or to carry out an order, the same thing we can now see near avdiivka, waves of infantry, waves of equipment , which is being destroyed, and it is very reminiscent of the events of the second world war. mr. vasyl, the military men we have been talking to during the week, especially those who saw with their own eyes what happened in bakhmut, say that bakhmut, now compared to avdiivka, is a resort, of course, it is difficult to call it a resort, but nevertheless, they say about the intensity of the russians, why

the russians stuck to it so much. in this avdiivka, first of all, you can compare avdiivka and bakhmut, but there are, as always, certain caveats in any comparison, the natural conditions of avdiivka, the presence of ukrainian fortifications, the presence of a huge number of russian troops, fundamentally changes the situation and makes it completely different on bahmud. in addition, it should be noted that wagner pmcs operated mainly in bakhmut, which also have their own specific features of combat use, in regular troops of the russian army are active in avdiiv, professional military units are active, units that were formed last year or at the beginning of this year have undergone training, coordination, possibly equipping with new equipment, but we will see

when we can specifically identify which or other weapons, besides, well, the russians really at the moment need at least some kind of victory, which can be sold to their own society, in order to somehow argue for these or other events, well, plus, no it should be forgotten that, most likely, near avdiivka, they started again to use the tactics of a barrage of fire, after, on the one hand, they managed to accumulate ammunition, and on the other hand, they transfer reserves from other parts of the front, making them more. vulnerable, and besides, let's not forget that now more and more information is appearing that ammunition has begun to arrive from north korea, in general, if we are talking about any military targets related to avdiivka, because i don't really believe about what's there the russian military, even the political elite are thinking about society there

, maybe after all, it could be about some kind of operation that should continue in donbas, just avdiyivka as such, you know, a pigtail in the throat, and gives the opportunity to continue it? on the one hand, you are right, and on the other hand, you must understand that whatever they do now in avdiivka, even, let's say, in the worst case scenario for us, if they manage to establish control over this territory, they will make a quick breakthrough further, they are simply from one side nothing, on the other hand, they will also need an operational pause. they are really trying, let's say, to carry out, to break through this super-powerful fortified area, which the armed forces of ukraine have been building for the last nine years, in fact, at that time, i don't know how many hundreds of thousands of tons of concrete were poured into it, and on the other hand they it is also necessary to move ukrainian troops away from

donetsk, let's not forget that avdiyivka is in fact, well, a nearby suburb of donetsk, and control over this protrusion allows the armed forces of ukraine to threaten the russians, therefore, we have here, let's say, a combination of a purely military factor, which we certainly cannot reject, and possibly a political factor, although, let's say, i have certain doubts that the political leadership of russia in any way concretely influences decision-making about carrying out this or that operation, i think that at the moment everything is concentrated in the hands of the russian general staff, the russian armed forces , there is no prigozhin, there are no other, let's say, more or less free players, and here i am i think that everything is managed by the general staff, and

they are already deciding how to implement it, valery zaluzhnyi came to avdiyivka, well, something like that happened in parallel somewhere. these visits, because putin came to rostov-on-don, well, but i see that he did not dare to support his fighters to avdiivka, these signals, and actually putin’s visit to rostov-on-don, what would that mean, here again putin’s visits to the occupied territories , or with putin's visits to the headquarters of the southern military district, which is based in rostov-on-don. well, it's hard to say whether it was putin or his double, i don't want to this conspiracy version should not be included, but the fact that, at least in the media field, the russians demonstrate the interest of ukraine's top politicians in the state, in these events, indicates that

avdiyivka really occupies an important place in their plans, and again, if from the ukrainian side, then valery zaluzhnyi is... always in the most important areas of the front in order to actually, let's say, see the situation with his own eyes and be able to adjust, let's say, ukrainian global plans, because if we take, let's say, a historical perspective, then , the current war, it is waged on absolutely several levels , it is a war on the battlefield at the same time, a war in the information space , and the so-called cyber-centric war, which connects everything that happens on the battlefield with combat control systems, the control system fire, fire damage, but to be able to be directly there

, it is important to understand the situation, but again we can clearly say that valery zaluzhnyi, the chief of the general staff, we see there the commander of the ground forces of syrskyi tornavskyi, they really accept decisions on the battlefield, higher russian military leadership, do not appear at such a distance from the front line, let alone putin himself. please tell me how the appearance of the atakams in the ukrainian army should change the situation, is this really such a panacea, or can we even say that some weapon is a panacea, because today i saw the statement of the secretary of the national security council, who said: the f16 planes will change blame the situation on the battlefield, but for 20 months in a row we have all the time every new nomenclature of weapons perceived as one that will make some quality... and then it turns out that this simply strengthens our position, no less, but no

more, if we speak objectively, then such a weapon of deception, it currently does not exist except nuclear , this is after all the search for a kind of wunderwaffe, which began back in the second world war, when nazi germany bet on one or another of the weapons in order to solve its... problems on the front line, we can see how well, the nomenclature of the supply of weapons changed there, starting with manual anti-tank weapons complexes and stingers, which changed the situation at the beginning of the russian full-scale invasion, later, as this situation was changed by barrel artillery, the famous holdouts, then the hymars and so on. gradually, a really new nomenclature, weapons, makes it possible to destroy the enemy at different distances, with different intensity, the appearance of atakams, it

will affect the course of hostilities, but atakams will not become a weapon of victory, just as the f-16 will not become a weapon of victory. there will be a combination of all these factors, the availability of educated people in ukraine a motivated reserve, the availability of technical capabilities in ukraine not only to use and maintain this equipment, and above all also the continuity of the supply of ammunition, because any weapon, we see it now in all hostilities, in fact , i want to compare it with the first world war, you want with the second, but the intensity and number of weapons and the use of ammunition, they still play an extremely large role, and therefore conditionally. the more guns we have, the more ammunition we have, the bigger it will be

the result, if you want, you can transfer it to attacks, if we are able to use several of them at the same time , well, let's say, several dozen to strike, they will be effective, if we strike with one or two missiles, then the efficiency will be extremely low, but not less strikes this week on military airfields in berdyansk, occupied and occupied luhansk caused a bit of a stir in the russians, and even putin snapped and said that everything was being destroyed and that they would allow attacks in general, this is approximately the same situation we had last summer with the first uses of hymars, with his first combat use. the russians did not expect this, they were not ready for it , accordingly we had a very good result, today videos and photos of russian helicopters, which are supposedly intact, but which are simply cut by a huge number of

fragments, of these cluster munitions, have already started to appear , and these helicopters are also unusable, accordingly, the russians are now, i think so, they will calculate, but did they hand over to ukraine exclusively haimar ztakams, sorry, with a range damage, 165 km, are there attackcomsi of other modifications, and precisely this uncertainty is also a very important factor, because when you are not sure of the location of your troops, when you believe that they are constantly under threat, it also does not contribute to the fighting spirit and does not contribute to the management of troops and the combat use of such equipment, which is difficult to maintain... and quite effective, such as, for example, the same combat helicopters. mr. vasyl, thank you, this was vasyl pavlov, military historian, head
