[000:00:00;00] herman smitanin is now called ukoborprom, so regarding long-range unmanned systems capable of carrying out strike missions at a distance of up to 1000 km, which ukroboronprom promised last year, herman smitanin has now reported that such drones are already being produced in cooperation with foreign partners. ordered and used by the defense forces of ukraine. however, wop himself is now focused on manufacturing. more complex and expensive projects with better characteristics, of course, this is good, but in my opinion, now the question is not in more expensive drones, but in the scaling of samples that can perform missions for an acceptable price and in significant production volumes, and that's right, by the way, okromprom is active in the production of tactical fpv drones, if you take into account herman smitanin's information, he says that license agreements have been signed with

three foreign companies for the production of relevant fpv, drone models, and the assembly of such drones is carried out at the facilities of ukrainian state enterprises. we have people, premises, components are delivered to us and we produce the head of ukroboronprom noted. i hope that we are talking about significant quantities, or with an output of a significant amount. also, the general director of ukobromprom spoke about the state of development. operational-tactical complex sapsan, now we will see which sabsan we are talking about, we already saw at the parade before the active phase of hostilities, so according to smetanin there is a state program to increase the production of missiles, people are working, they are all motivated, they want to strike, although smitanin uses more in the interview an emotional word for that moscow, so that it would not be seen by anyone there, but during the war , says smitanin, this is for secret information, to be shared

as one cannot, that is, about the state of implementation of this missile program, but let me remind you that just last week, the head of the main directorate of missile of troops, artillery and unmanned systems of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, brigadier general serhii baranov reported that ukraine already has a missile that successfully hit targets at a distance of 700 km, there are already prototypes that are being tested, are they different samples, or are they that exactly, what smetanin says, we will see after some time, but i want this time of using these strike systems against the enemy to be as short as possible, but for now the main work on the battlefield is performed by our barrel and rocket artillery in all areas of the front, and now until we are joined by volodymyr nazarenko, he is an artillery officer of the fourth brigade of the rubizh national guard, which is currently operating in the bakhmud direction. mr.

volodymyr, welcome to the espress channel. glad to see and hear. good evening, mr. sergey, good evening studio, good evening audience. now the enemy near mahmut is trying to improve its tactical position there, they are trying to regain certain positions there, they are using aviation, artillery, possibly armored vehicles in separate directions. genstam says that during the previous day there were offensives near avdiivka and klishchivka, and there were also offensives near berkhivka. what is happening now in the area of ​​responsibility of your brigade, what does the situation look like in the last few days, what changes are taking place there, what should we say about them to our viewers, i would first of all like to say that the situation remains stable and tense, it has not changed much in recent months, in principle, the war there is in a certain way extremely complex, extremely dynamic, extremely intense, and the enemy

is using all the arsenal he has. there is, and there never ceases to use the weapons that he has, and he makes the most of those forces, those means, those resources that he has, and the use of artillery , the use of aviation, attempts to advance, attempts to assault, attempts to find weak points, use cheap mobilized or one-time soldiers, they call them differently, they are. zeks, mercenaries, never stopped and never stopped, you can really notice different intensity during this time, but every day is fighting, every day is, clashes that do not stop, both us and the enemy, unfortunately, a- and when he sees a target, he uses it, strikes, strikes, they also have drones , what we say, we see the enemy there at a distance of 5,

10, 15, 20 km, there with different means, well, different units and so on further, but the enemy on pity sees the same way, and strikes the same way, their artillery, their means of fire, their machine guns, and in principle. everything they have, they work less aimed , but they act and try to compensate for this with a huge amount of huge density of fire, of all calibers, from automatic, from machine guns, ending there, large-scale artillery, mr. volodya, when you talk about artillery, i wanted ask about using it from both sides, can we talk about the parity of the intensity of fire, do you use cassettes? do they have to to save, here are the nuances that relate directly to your professional knowledge and tasks? our brigade, the fourth brigade of the russian national guard artillery, artillery units cannot say

that there is a certain parity in ammunition, because the enemy has both more iron and more ammunition, and we ourselves, well, first of all, well, when you ask. .. the question is, are we saving money, we have to understand the responsibility, we have to understand at what cost, the opportunity is possible, thanks to the help of the western partners, thanks to the ukrainian efforts there, well, let’s say this, i i don't want to go into detail there, but each munition seems quite complicated, and we have to understand that it is our responsibility, it is the skill of each soldier, so that the bullet, so that the mine, so that the projectile and the rocket fly to the target and are the most effective, the orcs, what we can safely say and note, they do not save ammunition , they do not have such an understanding that there is

a shortage or a problem, they quite often use what they have, covering the planes , but unfortunately, it is destroys itself, just flies somewhere, just somewhere, unfortunately explodes, and this... this is, in principle, war. mr. volodymyr, everyone is now discussing the publication of general zaluzhnyi, where, among other things, he mentions the need to increase the effectiveness of counter -battery combat against the enemy, how does it look in your area, are these tasks carried out by brigade forces, or are there more powerful systems for this, which there they stand in the depths behind your back and destroy the enemy's artillery. we perfectly understand that under the artillery, the blood of soldiers and infantrymen is preserved, and it is our responsibility, first of all, to work in such a way as to protect every

ukrainian soldier, so as much as possible to do so, to destroy the enemy's fire means, and here everything depends on the enemy's fire means, on the , what system does he use, how does it turn out, it turns out that with many factors, one of the main components, one of the main components, not the only one, but one of the main components, these are drones, flying there, well, different aircraft, the same mavics , the same night drones, and as soon as the enemy target is revealed, believe me, there is a certain resource, there are and are working those means that can work, which are determined in order to destroy the enemy cannon, so that it has already been punished and does not work and does not shoot and fire at ukrainian soldiers. and mr. volodymr, the ultimate question is that winter is coming, do we need to think about preparing for winter, improving

fortification, or are there, relatively speaking, suitable means for this, like excavators, other things that would help faster build these or other protective structures? means... there are never too many, i repeat, because everything can break down, everything can work out, there are a lot of motivated people and we need much, much more means, i am not saying that there is something there, there is no problem there, but it never happens too many, i repeat, both drones and cars, jeeps, i mean, especially now when the weather is bad, when the weather is deteriorating, when the logistics are very difficult. when it is difficult, difficult life at zero, likewise, engineering equipment, engineering, engineering equipment, the more of all this, the faster,

the better, the more, and in order to win this war, we must become much, much better than the occupier, than the enemy, use the advantages that our army, the defense forces, the ukrainian nation in general have, mr. volodymyr, thank you very much for yours. professional comments, thank you for your service , for what you do for our country, i will remind our viewers that it was volodymyr nazarenko, an artillery officer of the fourth brigade of the rubizh national guard, who is currently active. in the direction of bakhmut. and then about other aspects on the front line, what is there is happening on a larger scale. we will talk about this with our next guest, we are joined by viktor kevlyuk, a reserve colonel and an expert at the center for defense strategies. mr. viktor, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. good evening, mr. sergey. the first question, i wanted to ask you, how can you now assess the general situation on the front line, including the direction there, avdiivka, kherson

region, the left bank. can we talk about the transition of the post-positional war, or is it too early to draw such conclusions? if you follow the directions, on kupinsky's enemy is trying to get to the left bank of the oskil river, trying to break through near sinkivka, which he is doing extremely poorly. some activity in the estuary direction. stopped at all, because the two armies of the central military district from this direction have been diverted to other directions, due to the lack of reserves that the enemy has in the avdiivka area, bright efforts to surround our defenders in the city, the enemy is attacking from krasnogohorivka in the direction of berdychi and lastochkina, and from the water, from the south to

the north, and to the eagle, so far it is certain the advance is insignificant in the north, the enemy has approached the outskirts of the coke and chemical plant, in the south the advance is several hundred meters, which, actually , there is no substantial such effect on the general situation, in kherson, in the kherson direction , the confusion of the enemy command is felt, because there is still... . did not understand what to do with the ukrainian bridgeheads, which our marines created on the left bank of the dnieper, periodically the enemy tries to liberate, to say the right thing, seize the krynka, cossack camps, the steppe, pishchannivka and poima, he also can’t do anything, now the newly formed 144th separate motorized rifle brigade is advancing there, the enemy is making... quite serious

air strikes on the bridgeheads, but he can’t bring the artillery closer, because it is very quickly suppressed by the artillery of the defense forces from the right , to say that the situation is approaching a positional war, well , it is a little premature to talk about it now, but the enemy is making every effort to make the war move into this phase, well, then. we are moving on to a series of publications by the head of the commissar valery zaluzhnyi published by the economist, now they are actively talking there as experts and politicians, in your opinion, these five directions of technological change, which are outlined by the head, are they enough to win, as he writes, in the modern positional war, or can something is missing in these conclusions, which is yours.

assessment, in my opinion, this is completely insufficient, because bare technologies in themselves will not give any side an advantage in its pure form, if we do not have personnel who are trained to use these technologies, there are no weapons that physically implement technological assets, to say that the very fact of the presence of technologies is probably not quite correct , as talks about strike aircraft, defeating air defenses, collective defense aircraft against radio electronic suppression, no one talks about the fact that defeating an air defense system involves,

physically... destruction by fire strikes elements of anti-aircraft defense on the ground, this requires both long-range artillery and high-precision missiles, if we talk about overcoming minefields, it is definitely a huge problem, as it turned out, but in addition to minefields, there are non -explosive and non-explosive engineering barriers, which also need to be overcome, i.e., for conducting a maneuverable war, it is not enough... to have units capable of quick and effective maneuver, you need units that will ensure maneuver, as, for example, in the us armed forces, formed brigades. providing maneuvers. if we go this way, it would be a very good step forward. as for the means of radio-electronic warfare, well, i personally wonder who will use it, who will train personnel who, well, must have such a good engineering

education, in order to use all this, if, of course, we are not talking about trench rep , who also won back for himself. place on the battlefield and must be unconditionally introduced, that is, the commander-in-chief, perhaps due to lack of space, did not explain the course of his thoughts in more detail, a lot should be added to what valery fedorovych said, but apparently the magazine publication does not allow him to do it, but this publication caused a certain internal resonance, so the president's office was in favor of not commenting there in order to reveal to the public what is happening at the front, what could happen at the front was what zhovko said just for zaluzhny's article , then there were statements by the president of ukraine that the war had not come to a stalemate, although

zaluzhny actually did not write about it, and the last thing that happened from the president, what is for nbc news, for the tv channel... he said that ukraine is considering changes in its military, changes in its military strategy, and repeated again that the war has not come to a dead end. is it possible to say that there are different visions between the political and military leadership in the formation of such a new strategy, how do you assess such, well, different views on the part of the political and military authorities on the situation on the front line? well, if you run through the points of your question. the office of the commander-in-chief has a strategic department communications, it was created in order not to comment on anything, or at least to explain to society, but what is happening in general in the war, what is the armed forces busy with, where are they moving, what is enough, or vice versa, and

on the contrary, they have achieved something, because when formally saying, the deputy chief of staplers and cartridges undertakes to comment on military affairs without having any authority to do so, this is strange, and as for the speech of the supreme commander, it is the same here, the war itself does not go into any corners, it goes there is established by the supreme commander, so that she does not go there , he has a stake, accordingly, all those people should form a strategy for victory and inform about this society, for today... as far as i know, we have a pre-war strategy of military security, which was developed by collective efforts, came out of the national security and defense council, but judging by the fact that the war began, this strategy was not effective, accordingly, it is time to change the strategy, and all the shapers,

the ministry of defense, as the leading body in the field of defense strategies , the national security council, and the general staff, as a body of the stake , should focus on this, are they engaged in this, well, in the public sphere, i personally did not come across any information about this. mr. victor, how will our foreign partners now digest these statements, publications, visions of general zaluzhnyi, can we say that they can become such a basis for the concept of joint actions in the near future. year, or are these exaggerated expectations of the effect of this publication? from publications and in general from the speeches of such significant figures in the field of defense security, i would note the speech of the coordinator of the national security council of the white house,

retired admiral john kirby, and probably the speech of the former commander of the armed forces. from the usa in europe by general ben hodges. general hodges clearly said that zaluzhny soberly assesses the situation professionally and understands what ukraine needs to win. from these two speeches, i can clearly conclude that the article in the economist is definitely a kind of beacon for our partners to form strategy for the 24th year. and when we talk about the ambulance. the possibility of the appearance of these new technological solutions, there is such a factor that it is uncertain when these technological solutions will provide a synergy effect, perhaps it will be for an excessively long time, and then the question of capacity arises. of our partners to provide the needs of the defense forces in basic needs, in particular in artillery, ammunition,

missiles, how do you currently assess the capabilities and capacities of our partners next year to provide these primary, well, the needs of the ukrainian army, will such a thing happen a certain gap of opportunities, right at the beginning or in the middle of the year, given, in particular , the lack of ammunition, given the lack of capacities of our european and american partners, well, at the end of the second year of the war, it is hardly appropriate to talk about the need to ensure priority needs, needs, it is necessary to form the capabilities necessary for victory, in order to clearly understand what capabilities we need, it is necessary to have a strategy that will explain how

to move from a state of stalemate of a positional war to a state, that is where politicians and the military has to work very specifically regarding the defense capabilities of our partners, i think that our capabilities next year will be significantly limited, not only because of the desire to help someone as we would like, well, for example, we, we can already see how we shoot by german taurus missiles, and german politicians still do not see. there are a lot of technological moments that do not allow us to work quickly, do not allow us to produce the amount of weapons that we need, the monthly consumption of artillery ammunition, conventional, by the armed forces ukraine exceeds the capabilities of the entire civilized world, which supports ukraine, the situation should improve by 2025, to put a little spoonful of sugar into this cup, according to expert estimates,

our enemy's tank reserves should run out by the end of 2024, that is, it will be a little easier. sir, mr. viktor, thank you very much for your professional comments, for these clarifications for our viewers, and let me remind you that viktor kevlyuk, a reserve colonel and an expert of the center for defense strategies, was on the air. these were the main ... emphases in the military results this day, more international and economic news , further in the news release, which will now be hosted by vasyl zima, good evening, we are from ukraine, thank you to serhii zgorts, thank you to his guests, these were the military results of the day, there are many interesting things ahead, but the world about ukraine, money... during the war. sports news with yevhen pastukh, there is a new scandal related to uefa and the ukrainian national team, and the weather, whether the cold will really

the suspicion of committing a fatal road accident, the state bureau said. according to the investigation 3 november on the kyivchop highway, he ran into a pedestrian, an 18-year-old girl died at the scene of the tragedy from her injuries, it is also previously known that shortly before the accident , nikolayenko received a fine for speeding, if found guilty, he faces up to eight years behind bars , the issue of selecting a preventive measure for him is currently being resolved. during the day, the occupiers again shelled the kherson region and wounded three men, targeting the enterprise in zelenivka from the left bank, the head of the kherson city military administration said roman mrochko. a 44-year-old man lost part of his leg, another victim with a variable explosive injury was hospitalized, and the third victim suffered burns. over the past day, terrorists fired more than 20 times on populated areas of the region and injured five

local residents. and experts in the field of information security discovered about 800 cases of russian propaganda in six european countries, this is stated in an updated study on the spread of russian disinformation in europe. every month in germany, italy, the czech republic, slovakia, more than 920 publications containing the russian disinformation narrative appear in hungary and poland. compared to last year, the numbers have almost doubled. the number of fakes has noticeably increased, we added 43 new ones, and they are mostly related to the topic of the counteroffensive and discrediting of the ukrainian army, alleged mass surrender of ukrainian soldiers, mobilization that massively violates human rights, mobilization of teenagers, etc., and definitely added fakes about allegedly new terrorist

acts of ukraine, and now in the focus of the absolute messages from most countries: after all, about weapons, about the transfer of western weapons to ukraine. the territory of dignity in augmented reality with this name, the maidan museum presented the project of the museum of fission of the monuments of the revolution of dignity. on the basis of the materials collected by the museum , you can view three-dimensional models of household elements and protection of maidan residents in the camera of your smartphone. the creators of the project managed to reproduce the shape, proportions and appearance of each object. there are 10 of them in total. to see the maidan barricades, you need to scan the qr code located on the information board whiteboard and follow the augmented reality link. in order to create this project, we processed about 1,500 photos that are in our database, selecting from there those that highlight our 10 key locations that

are presented in this project, these are eight barricades. a tent city and a christmas tree that stood on the square near the table. and here it is very important, but again in the context of the young generation, yes, what, they come to khreschatyk, to the maidan, scan the qr code, this is a clear way now, and see in real time, in real size and real shape, what the christmas tree looked like, what the barricade looked like, we tried to be as detailed as possible. the netherlands provided ukraine with mobile medical complexes, which are already being used by border guards in the combat zone. the machines are equipped with everything necessary to provide medical aid to servicemen, the cars are on duty as close as possible to the front, combat doctors say, the complexes increase the chances of reaching the so-called golden hour from the moment of injury to saving a life -

add combat medics. this is the rol-1 complex, which currently provides medical assistance to wounded and sick servicemen of the 15th mobile border detachment, if necessary , we can deploy anywhere and at any time of the day, work autonomously to provide medical assistance to all wounded who will need it, updated design and new sound, before its tenth anniversary , the espresso tv channel presented itself to viewers in new clothes. what changes have we prepared and what inspired the designers and composers further in our material. updated design, improved logo and new sound. before its tenth anniversary, the espresso tv channel

presented changes that will help viewers better perceive information and in our
