[000:00:00;00] and these attacks affect many different communities, and khmelnitsky, and slavuta, and netin, and smaller communities, well, actually, the most, of course, probably starokostyantynov, every night, we have many hours of air alarms, we have attacks every night, well, but i want to thank the air defense forces, our armed forces of ukraine, in fact, everything that this russian evil is currently launching in khmelnytskyi about their efforts, the efforts of mobile groups, goes astray, and i am sure that they do not achieve the results that the chauvinistic state planned for itself and will not reach god forbid in the future, this will be repeated in essence, the scenario of last year, when from mid-october they started pounding on critical infrastructure objects in the khmelnytskyi region, well, but so that four nights in a row, this

has never happened before, and there with periodicity in a week, two weeks, here four nights in a row, these are actually very difficult and difficult nights , as for today's terrorist attack, several communities succumbed to the blows from the bppshet, well, but according to the information of our military, our pppo, again everything that was in khmelnytskyi, everything was knocked down, but unfortunately, even knocked down, iron, it falls and causes enormous damage. well, i understand that one of the downed ones will fall on a critical infrastructure object and indeed as a result an explosive wave, as a result quite serious damage in a peaceful city where there are no military units, in slavut there are no military units, in slavut, in general this is the first such, such a terrorist attack, and the damage is huge, in fact all educational institutions, you correctly

voiced there more than three... residential houses, multi-apartment, individual, a huge number of other objects, boiler houses and so on and so on, but it is not only about slovuta, in general , four communities in the khmilny region suffered from this terrorist attack and from falling into debris and so on. thank god, there are no casualties, this is probably the most important thing to talk about today, but already more than 20 people are injured and some people are hospitalized, and there are some people who are in serious and moderate condition, and doctors are providing them with help today and we will to hope that everyone will be alive, healthy, and then all the tasks that the enemy has set for themselves there, they will not be achieved, what concerns eh, liquidation, eh, we are all actually trying to help slavuta, help other communities, we literally in the morning today the already famous glass was sent, tomorrow we plan

to send it again. the damage is not huge, it is, if we are talking about 300 houses there, it is hundreds , hundreds and hundreds of windows, it is roofs, it is doors, it is huge damage that will have to be repaired, repaired, repaired, but, that is, this it was a massive attack, if we are talking about 300 houses, that is, the fall of one drone, well, would it be, i don't know how many tons of explosives there should be in order to damage 300, 300 houses, well, you can not go into detail here, because i i understand that certain things cannot be said, but still, well, it becomes clear, we can't, we can't specify. and we will not clarify or give any information there for the enemy, well, but again, i will repeat according to the air defense information, everything that they launched, everything was shot down, of course, that all these attacks four nights in a row, these are massive attacks, and the pppo knocks down and knocks down and knocks down and knocks down a lot, in fact, all the iron that is launched towards us by the russian terrorist state, well, but even knocked down, it falls and causes damage, well, considering that , that hit,

hit was. on the object of critical infrastructure, well, there were corresponding consequences and reactions to all that, so uh, the damages from all that are very, very serious and substantial, although uh, they are all, let's say, subject to liquidation, everything material, everything there will be metal, glass, slate, it will all be there restored, we survived, let's say there in the month of may, an extremely large, terrible mass rocket attack. because we also had more than a thousand damaged houses for one of the critical infrastructure facilities, we replaced 8,500 windows, 8,500 windows, hundreds of roofs and so on, but everything material can be restored, we are ukrainians, we are everything, everything that is needed we will rebuild, restore, revive, the main thing is that people should be alive, healthy, and this evil understood that no matter what they do, they will never bring us to our knees, we will definitely win this war and this we will expel the evil from our ukrainian, thank you very much, mr. oleksandr, take care,

oleksandr semchyshyn. the mayor of khmelnytskyi about the consequences of the enemy attack on khmelnytskyi, indeed, it is already the fourth night, uh, well, you heard about the scale, the damage, i'm not saying the destruction, but 300 houses - that's, well , maybe if there is such a need to voice more information, she will be voiced for our viewers, for our citizens, and we understand that the enemy is active, here is the worst, worst situation, that the enemy also tried to attack, well, he did not try, but aimed at territory of the khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant, let me remind you that in ukraine there are working khmelnytskyi, rivne, southern ukrainian, zaporizhzhya, chernobyl, five nuclear power plants that are not working and of course. there must also be protection here, because this enemy does not have such a concept as honor, laws of war, or similar things, and he is not very worried about the fact that, god forbid

, a nuclear fuel leak or an explosion should be observed by himself rules and customs of warfare, i.e. to destroy energy facilities that provide or military facilities on the territory of the russian federations, or provide defense industry, so that. i think that ukraine should combine intelligence data and means of impression on the territory of the enemy, using our long-range systems or drones. and later in our military program, we will talk about what is happening at the front and about the fighting around avdiyivka, about the strengthening of our anti-aircraft defense, and what is behind the enemy's plans, which is to attach a bomb to the soyuz space rocket. more on that in a moment. now the enemy has become more active along almost the entire length of the front, over the past day the number

combat clashes jumped by about a third to 80, and the general staff mentions almost all the directions where there were attacks, these are the kupien, lyman, bakhmut, avdiiv, mariinsky and zaporizhia areas, all areas of the front are very difficult, but the main attention is focused on... . kyivka, which is part of the donetsk agglomeration, and this outpost of ours has been standing firmly across the throat of the enemy for a long time, and now, if we talk about the military goals of the aggressor, then he really wants to improve his position before winter, to secure traffic on the highways along donetsk, and this also applies to movement by rail on the way to and from donetsk - this is a large and important railway such junction for against. it is precisely to achieve these goals that the enemy is now seeking to cut off our logistical routes leading to avdiivka, and to try to surround our troops in avdiivka , now the enemy's assaults are going in

several directions, from the south and from the north, with such two claws, they are trying to sharpen avdiivka , to capture avdiivka, and it somewhat resembles the attack on bahmud, in particular, the fact that the russians are simply fixated on capturing this area, despite the significant losses they have already suffered and will suffer. the most difficult thing now is in the north, where the enemy is pressing from krasnogohorivka to the steppe, the enemy has been actively advancing here since october 10 in a fairly narrow area, about 2 km wide, where considerable forces were concentrated, these are the brigades of the first corps of the dpr, then the brigades of the second generally of the military army as many as three brigades one after the other, the total losses of the enemy are colossal, but the enemy continues to advance steadily, and now in the north the enemy approached the railway, in one of the sections and is trying to break

into the buildings of the coke chemical plant, these are important elements of our defense line, terykon itself, which is next to the coke plant, there or height 230, as it is designated, is in the gray zone, because its control is now neither side is complicated. the provision of our troops is carried out by various routes, in particular the main one there and through orlivka, the enemies are trying to shoot through this road, so to summarize, the russian offensive on avdiivka is such a large-scale operation that reflects the desire moscow wants to regain the initiative, but this involvement in avdiivka can be used by our armed forces to destroy... the far from limitless reserves that the russian side uses so ruthlessly. that is, under the conditions of strengthening there and clear interaction, our group can continue to hold the defense and destroy the enemy's forces,

but this battle is costly not only to the enemy, but we must also remember that it is costly to our soldiers as well, because many defensive positions there are simply destroyed by the fact that the enemy actively used aviation, these powerful... cabs and artillery, so this part of the front remains extremely hot, and now we will talk in a little more detail with our next guest, valery prozapad joins us. captain of the armed forces of ukraine, this is the 36th separate brigade of marines, mr. valery, i congratulate you, i am glad to hear on the espresso channel, in a row , i will not ask about the area where you are now, about the fact that i know that there are less than eight or even more than months, your unit operated near evdiivka, you know in great detail the situation around this settlement, given what is currently happening with enemy stormtroopers. we, how would you assess the enemy's approaches

to carrying out such offensive actions, because this is actually an army-scale operation, if we compare the amount of forces and equipment that the enemy is trying to use there against our fighters in these directions. indeed, as part of our unit, i stayed in the ovidian direction for more than eight months, we stood on the defensive, as in the northern part of this direction. from the side of krasnogohorivka, as well as from from the side of pisok and from spartak, at that time, tough battles for bahmud were taking place, and they were attacking the avvidkas, you could say the second echelon, it was also an almost daily groundhog day, when they gathered in small infantry units with the support of armored vehicles and tried to break through our battle formations, this as you can see, they did not succeed, and now, if you look at the map, then

, right there, in this direction, the russians have an opportunity to achieve operational-tactical success, because avdiivka is de facto semi- encircled, i think that here two moments the first moment is a military one, because the russians need to bring down the offensive potential of the armed forces, and that is why they dramatically stepped up their attacks on avdiivka, and the second is political, because for a long time they had nothing to be proud of and nothing to sell to their population as a victory, at least a midterm one, and they have the presidential election on their nose, so i think that this whole complex, these reasons became the trigger for the fact that they began to mobilize forces and started this operation to capture avdiivka, here

you need to be a big expert, you don't need to be. so that again to predict, their, their method of introducing offensive actions, it will be endless meat assaults, it will be, it will be just destruction, not just infrastructure, of all living things that there is, this is absolutely clear, i think that a very correct decision has been made, to do, to evacuate the civilian population, because the next few weeks and months will be very hot there. i will not predict how all this will end, because we have, as the armed forces, to carry out their work, and in order for our brothers to the aldiiv direction was a little easier now, we have to activate in other directions as well, and we will do that, mr. valery, and when we talk about the russians using these three new brigades from the second army, which they transferred there from the lyman direction, there units from the 41st, which were previously under fire there, then

went to recovery and appeared just outside avdiivka, the impression is that now in fact all these reserves, which were there somewhere in other places, are being collected in one place, as in general it is possible to estimate how many reserves the enemy has, or now he simply does not count them, because somehow it reminds of the operation there under the ardennes, when the germans there in 44 threw everything in one place in order to somehow stop the advance of the allies. you know, i am not at the strategic level and , unfortunately, i do not have much time to study each section of the front in such detail, but here it is obvious that the reasons, the set of reasons that i mentioned, caused, caused, this concentration in the avdiiv direction, i repeat once again, they do not count their lives, they first want to show and if only for himself, for his population.

to the whole world that we will not stand up to the price, that's why, you know, this phase of the war began, bone to bone, we need, we really need more resources, more weapons to grind them down, it won't work here by any other means, except direct military collision, to stop and weaken, to destroy this military machine of the russian federation, i am saying that we have no other option. how easy it is to drain , oh, the armed forces of ukraine, this offensive rush of the russians, here you know, war is such a thing unpleasant, difficult, i know that i am tired, many of them are both psychologically and physically, but look, they are forced to direct enormous, well, gigantic efforts to capture the city, which has already been on the defensive

for almost 10 years, i.e. despite all this horror of war, we can say that if we abstract , that in fact, well, this is all that you are capable of, this is your rush, this is what you set yourself as a goal soon as in the second, in the third year of full-scale invasion, yes, of course, this is not good for us either does not bring, because it also reduces our resources, our lives, our potential, both military and economic, but we just have to endure this situation and see later how it will end, because we have the example of bakhmut , and they showed with pomp both their military victory and the fact that the exit came out crazy, i also hope that it will be the same for them as it was around bakhmut, just taking into account the number of losses that the enemy will suffer, and please explain this situation to our viewers around the terekon, in

what, let's say, the expediency, importance of the terekon, or is it , conventionally speaking, only tangential or complementary to certain, let's say, features of conducting actions on this part of the front. what does he imagine himself to be, what is his meaning? well, you know, by and large, on all these stretches of the front, you can’t say that there is any more important stretch of the front, less important, there is generally such, such an interesting landscape, where you can defend very well and not attack very well, well, terikon, you know how it is for me, well, i see from its position, it is still more, such a moment for the infantry, which can, if it is established there, it can there, well, from there, work more efficiently further in the offensive, but if it is under confident fire control, then we can talk

about just such an e- the main point of capturing terekon is impossible, that is, it is impossible to say that there is either this factory itself or terikon or the village of pervomaiske, or the road, or the railway, but it is very difficult to concentrate on one thing, it is, after all, such a big puzzle, and there are no small things, and when we talk about our logistics, how i understand that in fact, despite the fact that the enemy is trying to use mortars, in fact, i understand, there are ways that continue to provide our group with everything necessary. well, everything is visible there on the map, in principle, both from the northern direction and from the south, there are no such big problems with military logistics, i mean there are none, of course, about civilian, there is no longer any civil support, so of course

i would like so that from ocheretiny's side, this road still remains under control, but looking at the map, it is already obvious that it will it is very... difficult to make some deliveries, but again, we look at the map and see what is there , there are options, i will not name the settlements, although i have been to almost all of them, so as not to facilitate the enemy's course, the course of our thought, but it is possible to defend there, questions in resources and in the strategy that will be developed will be developed by our higher headquarters. mr. captain, thank you very much for your explanations, for your service and ours. let me remind you that valery prozapas, captain of the armed forces of ukraine, 36th separate brigade of marines, was on the air, and further to on another topic, about air defense and threats from the russian federation, germany is preparing a winter aid package for ukraine,

patriot complexes, arrestees, and cheetahs will be transferred there, olaf scholz said, the package is powerful enough, the cost. 1.4 billion euros and he says that the main task of this winter package is precisely the creation of a protective shield in order to oppose the obvious plans of the russian federation, to continue bombing energy and other infrastructure. actually, russia did it last year and is going to do it now, increasing the arsenal of means of impression, and we will talk about this in more detail later, we are joined by valery romanenko, aviation expert, leading scientific collaborator. mr. valery, i congratulate you, glad to see and hear. to each other, good evening, there are several questions that require your professional assessment, so i will start with the fact that the enemy has started using so-called unknown cheap plywood drones in ukraine there and in kyiv, there are various assumptions

about their effectiveness and feasibility, what are your assessments ? well, my impression of these drones, you know, there is such a ukrainian saying, cheap fish, bad soup, that is, these drones, well, what could be their origin, yes, first of all, regarding the construction of these drones, it means that the fuselage of this drone is made of rectangular sheets of plywood cut out , now they are showing its engine, well, others are showing it a little bit, they are showing it, yes, italmas drones are showing it, it is not, well, then you will smoothly move to them, you will move from those drones to others, because in addition to these cheap drones, there are some and these italmasses, which are a continuation of the developments there,

to the russian company, which at one time manufactured there, you yes company, yes, the zala company, that means, in relation to italmasses, it is more or less such a decent drone with very limited capabilities, which means that if that drone of an unspecified model has two chinese engines, aircraft engines, and seven horsepower each, 60 cubic meters, which means volume, working volume. then italmas has one such engine, respectively, yes, but better, significant , normal aerodynamics, in any case , let’s say, this italmas also has more or less serious equipment, but it has the main flaw, it practically cannot carry a combat load, well, 2-3 kg, well, for a drone, a kamikaze, well, it's just not enough, it is considered as a long-range drone.

and in fact, in terms of ammunition, it is a tactical drone in terms of its capabilities, well, somewhere to destroy some in order to strike at a support point, because it has fewer explosives on board than the 155th projectile, then what is the reason for such a long range, it only creates additional problems, a lot of expenses for the drone itself for equipment, for the navigation system, for the communication system and its result application, and then the question arises whether we will not be forced to spend precious missiles there in order to shoot down these tolmasses and plywood drones, well, it is unlikely with plywood drones , because there is such a primitive design and such a weak power plant that they can be made selection by speed, i.e. the eyes of an unspecified drone model, they have the maximum speed, i calculated it like this, there i calculated approximately the midel, the power of the power plant, so, well, they have 100-120

km, the maximum speed, shahed has 220, that is, it is immediately possible to hardware-wise, well , hardware-wise, ignore such drones, actually with radar stations, well , for example, everything that flies at a speed of less than 120 km. do not clutter the screen, let it fly, because the purpose of these drones, actually, is not an unestablished model, yes , to distract, the main such most reasonable application is to distract the air defense system, but these functions are not like a load in them too, of the order of two or three, that is, the costs are large, minimal costs for the body, but large costs for engines, again the guidance system, the navigation system, the communication system, and the gun as a result, means the effect of their

use, then, mr. valery, let's move on to more such threatening actions of the russian federation, to mig 31 with daggers, but i watched there that they are starting to show not so much daggers as carriers under this plane, but what they are showing there is that the plane uses the x33 missile, which would be quite threatening from the point of view of its capabilities. please explain what approaches the enemy will have to the mih 31 with a combat load? well, the russians have been using the mig-31 in two versions since the beginning of the war: the first is very well known to us, it is the mih 31 with a kindle, why is it known? because all of ours, half of ours, most of our air defenses, are take-off with or without a missile, the actual mig-31, but the russians also have a rather dangerous version of this aircraft, this is the main, main purpose of the mig-31 in

the variant bm, it's a fighter-interceptor. it really carries long-range missiles on board and not only r-33 with a range of 160 with a declared range of 160 km, but also more modern ones the r-37 missiles, which are actually intended, this is an ultra-long-range missile, and it is capable of hitting air targets at distances of up to 400 km, this is according to advertising data, of course, according to russian advertising data, in fact, our pilot, voroshilov karaya, said that this advertising data is much overstated, and there is a maximum, during hostilities, the maximum range of such missiles was 177 km, but not such missiles at all, but 177 km with russian long-range missiles, but nevertheless these missiles are dangerous, because the range is

one is quite large, well, there are 170. km, if they discard at least half of the advertising data for 200 km, we cannot get them. how dangerous are these missiles, ah, so they are launched, and on the principle of firing , i forgot, and they can, well, for example, our planes, when they are far from the line of combat, can the pilots relax, yes, and on this. the russian fighter jets that launch these long-range missiles are counting, and the mig radar of the 31st allows this missile to be illuminated up to until the moment when her own radar is not turned on, it is turned on 30 km away, well, that is, the missiles are dangerous and quite long-range,

and as the russians brag that it was precisely these missiles that were shot down... well, quite a lot of our planes, how to fight such missiles in the future, in particular, what can the f16s do from the point of view of such threats? well, it’s very easy for the f16 with them, well, not very easy, but there are opportunities, so no, to react to these cancers, no, not to not react, but not to be very afraid of these missiles, first of all, these missiles, their you need to be informed all the time, they act according to the principle that they were shot, yes, and they fly, they do not capture the plane immediately, but in summer they fly to the calculated point where this plane should be, at the moment of its meeting with the missile, yes, at the moment of confusion missiles, but the fighter, it is maneuvering, it will not fly in a straight line at a constant

speed, that is, during a combat sortie, the aircraft will need to perform some simple maneuvers, light turns and, well, on a sine wave all the time , something similar, this is the first option, the second option, to use rep systems, that is clear, but i would like to ask you about a story that, well, irritated me, it is precisely that the enemy is trying to use a missile-carrying alliance to strike a ukrainian city, i... what this is a space theme, not an aviation one, but when you first heard that rogozin was dreaming about it, what were your assessments and reactions? my assessment was, you know, well, you won't believe it, i was surprised that, excuse me, such a moron was held as the vice-premier of the russian federation for issues
