[000:00:00;00] strategic plans of the enemy, that is, how they will try to deploy their offensive plan, an important message was received from the head of the ukrainian foreign intelligence service, he said that the enemy is counting on the destruction of objects of our civil infrastructure, in particular energy objects, with the aim of provoking certain public mood, we understand that the enemy will make his winter plan from several components, that is, this is a military campaign and a so-called psychic attack on our agree, last winter they caused a lot of damage of energy, i am sure that this year they intend to do it again. of course, it will be very difficult, especially for those who live in the gray zone, for example, in the kharkiv region. shops no longer operate there and people are completely dependent on volunteer help. i must

say that there is a lot of volunteer help. from europe and comes precisely to ensure the basic needs of people. therefore, the russians will continue to attack the gray zone as much as possible, trying to penetrate deeper and deeper. not sure where exactly they will attack this year, but obviously they will focus on one or two major cities to try to destroy the infrastructure there. i think that odesa, lviv and... will take the biggest hit, because they are the centers of the greatest activity, lviv, because people come here from poland, then of course odesa, because of grain and farming in winter, and kyiv, because it capital, so you have to prepare for powerful attacks, however, strategically, i don't think it will have the effect that russia would like, from that simple

the reasons are that the ukrainians have already prepared for it, they are now more psychologically prepared, in particular, i know that the ukrainian energy companies are now much better prepared for this war than last year, so this strategy will not work. a couple of days ago, putin spoke virtually, of course, the g-20 summit , in this summit president joseph biden and chinese leader xi jinping refused to participate, they were not there, instead there was putin, and putin began to talk about the colossal tragedy that must be dealt with.. .we understand what it is outright pharisaism, it’s an outright lie, on his part, on the other hand, instead of his, he used the term for which in russia terms are given, he used the term war, with which purpose putin began to speak again about some of his peaceful intentions, although in the whole world aware that he is lying, firstly, are we sure that it was putin and not one of his doubles, if it was the real putin, then it is unlikely that he

would have used the forbidden word war, or it has already taken deep root in the head of the one who says putin or his double that what putin is trying to do, or what the government there is trying to do, is to reinforce those members of the european union and other countries that are trying to call for peace, and so saying to countries like slovakia, hungary, india, the brics countries, i want peace, putin gives them confidence , he says. that peace is a good idea in their opinion, that the war has driven everyone into a dead end and that now is the time for negotiations, but this is just a trick to muddy the waters in an effort to slow down aid and support to ukraine, and nothing more. he has no desire peace, his desire is to win by more cunning methods, because

he does not succeed in this on the battlefield. yes, i agree with you, on the other hand, we understand that putin is really preparing for a long war. you and i, mr. colonel, talked about this a little before it became mainstream, but in any case, many experts note russia's preparations for a possible protracted war. maybe, maybe the russian economy will not survive, maybe a double or triple will act instead of putin, or it doesn't matter who, but this does not mean that the russian ministry of defense, the russian general staff . is preparing for certain protracted military operations. how do you see russia preparing for a protracted scenario, and what might that protracted scenario be? my opinion that they want a protracted war has not changed. everything indicates that they are slowly mobilizing so as not to create chaos in moscow and st. petersburg. but finally , the country's territory is constantly mobilized, the ability to deliver weapons to

the line is improving. front and they also quite successfully manufacture radio electronic equipment struggle, which a year ago they could only dream of. so russia is preparing for two or three years, maybe. even up to 10-15 years of protracted war. it will simply continue to hit ukraine until it breaks. they are counting on the fact that sooner or later the west will fail, and then something like the korean scenario will happen. the conflict will be frozen, a border will be created that will separate eastern ukraine or novorossiya and ukraine. this is what they strive for and what they hope for. in a certain sense, it is good that he is in the russian general staff there are not very bright heads. they are smart in their specific specialty, but definitely not in strategic thinking. it is quite possible that by putting the country on military

rails, they actually destroy its economy as a whole. we know that the state of the economy in russia leaves much to be desired in many areas. for example, some airlines are on the verge of collapse because they cannot get spare parts and keep the planes in good condition in the air. this is a reflection of some spheres in the economy. and if the airlines are not endure, then other segments must surely be close to collapse, because it cannot be the case that some part of the economy is damaged, and everything else is not. russia is approaching a crossroads where, on the one hand , defense is growing, and on the other, the economy is declining. i don't know when it will be at the very center of this crossroads, in a year, a year and a half, but i suspect that at some stage there will be a large-scale economic failure. the other thing that we've talked about so much is that

china seems to be pulling back somewhat from russia. from recent conversations, it seems that the chinese realize that their future is connected with the economy of the west, and certainly not with the economy of russia. there is no russian economy that would help china. if china relies on russia, it will go down the drain. the chinese rely on the european union and the united states, and that is where their money is, where their investments are, and where their markets are. china cannot survive without the markets of the european union and the united states. there will definitely be people who will tell the chinese government about this, saying: "hey, hey, stop, you've gone too far." and what do we get from russia? old military equipment? no thanks, we don't need that. so things are happening that in the long run can work against russia. well, in any case, xi jinping

very clearly proposed to the president of the united states, joseph biden, to take and share the influence on the globe. in plain language, he did it publicly. as far as i understand, there is something in it. there is only one thing, we do not know how beijing will react to the proposals of president joseph biden, so to speak, so that china helps russia much less aggressor, but maybe if the chinese are interested, they can really put putin in a very cool way, yes, well, because putin talked about how he relies and that there are almost 2 billion of them with the chinese, but a very clear position of the united states, which would require additional clear steps, as far as president joseph biden and the pentagon are now willing to go in the current extremely difficult phase of the war. the american military

has no say in this matter. all that is provided ukraine, adopted in the white house. according to the results of the meeting in ramstein, a corresponding request is submitted, and then the white house decides how much and what of this request will be granted. i've heard that from more than one person, it's all a white house decision, and i'm absolutely sure of that, by the way, i was in the states last week, so i'm also absolutely sure that the military would have provided a lot more if they could, certainly the united states has a colossal arsenal of weapons still in the nevada desert under the protection of the national guard along with other old equipment they could provide, especially abrams tanks. but the white house, i don't seem to know if it's willing to let the war go slowly, or if it's really worried about having to go to war with china, or maybe both. i also have the impression that there are

at least one or two people in the white house who are more positive about russia than they are about ukraine. but now it is very difficult to say. it is difficult to say whether certain changes and shifts will occur. i think that everything will remain unchanged, assistance will continue to be provided to ukraine leisurely and dosed, there will be no big splash, even if the military wants it. on the other hand, we understand that war strategy requires resources , yes, offensive resources, defensive resources , we are talking about strengthening the air defense system, we understand everything, three representatives of three european capitals recently arrived in kyiv on visits, well not only european capitals, three representatives of the relevant directions, so former british prime minister cameron returned to politics, went to kyiv. minister of defense

germany's pistorius, the head of the pentagon, lloyd austin, were all in kyiv. i am not sure that they are developing some deep plan in kyiv. we have reached the stage when slovakia has already joined the other side, and hungary has shown that those who strongly support ukraine simply want to convey their position to others. perhaps the president's office got the impression that support is slipping away. it is not slipping away, it is now at a very difficult stage, because all countries, except the united states, have already given their all, latvia emptied its warehouses, estonia and the czech republic did the same. poland has given away a huge amount of equipment and is still waiting for new ones to arrive. so there are many people who are worried that ukraine may think that they have turned their backs on it, but this is not

the case. at the top level, there is an active rethinking of what to do next, where to put money, how to buy things that are difficult to buy, for example, ammunition, they are very difficult to buy now, there is and will be a lot of activity in the background, but this is because right now as it should be, supporting ukraine is no longer possible it's so simple, it's not easy at all, and going back to what has already been said many times, ukraine needs to get its diplomacy in order, because you can't entrust diplomatic work to people of an inappropriate level. it is necessary to second the best of the best, because it is the best experts in their field who can influence the increase of support from different countries. if you do not send tops, then the result will not be top. you won't get what you need. that is why diplomacy is absolutely vital, it is time

to stop sending your friends from the bank, instead, choose the most professional representatives. but do the americans, for example, have a strong-willed political decision, yes, which would concern an increase in military aid. the only thing that added a powerful willpower charge was russia's attack on nato, it would have completely changed the game. and this is not. however, i do not think that putin is ready for such a change, if only because his army is currently the weakest, if we talk about the last 30-40 years. attacking nato now would be suicide for the country, and they know it. i don't think that will happen. most likely, they are will simply continue their efforts to bleed ukraine to death and exhaust the enthusiasm of the west, while simultaneously carrying out hybrid actions to draw more and more countries into russia's sphere of influence. i said there

was a lot more to come. i am sure that russia is currently thinking of other stories. one such story was hamas. they are definitely planning other actions in other countries and in other places to create problems for the west and for america. dear mr. colonel. southern operational direction. we understand that in the territories temporarily occupied by russian interventionist. certain bridgeheads have been created in the kherson region, extremely difficult battles are ongoing, we understand that the enemy is now being pushed back from the banks of the dnieper, on the other hand, we understand that this applies rather to everything in general in this southern operational area, because in the zaporizhia region, battles in district works are also ongoing recruiter and so on. your vision of possible scenarios for the development of the situation in the south. guys and girls are now fighting smartly in the zaporizhzhia region,

moving forward so confidently, as much as possible. they cannot advance faster because of the mines, the insufficient amount of artillery and the general difficulty of fighting. it was possible to cross the dnieper, and that is a completely different matter, and i do not think that russia was ready for this. this will give them a reserve problem because now they have to decide if they are going to field people east of. will they pull out the best players and put them in front of kherson. it is known that the troops in the districts of kherson are slowly moving forward, they will continue to move. forward, as russia now does not have opportunities to push them back. therefore, i think that the turning point, whether in zaporizhzhya or in kherson region, will definitely come, it is only a matter of time. it may not happen this winter, but i think both of these areas will continue to slowly move

forward until something happens. therefore, it is necessary to pray that the russians will not actually be able to cope with three fronts at the same time. and finally, i would like to clarify whether you feel that the decision on the f-16 has already been made and soon they will appear in our for heaven's sake, can it last? ukrainian pilots are currently being trained, a training center in romania has already started, it is known that f-16 pilots are being trained in other countries, so there will be f16s soon. what impact will they have and when will they appear? maybe there won't be any special effect. until the air force and army get their act together and make the best use of the f-16. and in the initial stages , this can be a difficult task. of course , there will be a specific effect, but you shouldn't expect anything grandiose. because russia has been preparing for

the appearance of f-16 fighters for a long time. they are ready and will do anything to make their aerial activity difficult. f-16 will be changed. the rules of the game, but maybe not as much as we expect. what will be important is how intelligently the general staff uses these fighters and how purposefully they will be used to break through in areas where possible, or at least to remove russian aircraft from the sky, because the enemy is not ready to engage the f- 16, but i don't know when you will receive them, and it is doubtful that anyone will can know thank you very much, mr. colonel, for this extremely important analysis on the air of the tv channel, i want to remind our tv viewers that now the retired british army colonel, military expert glen grand, get save the king, glory to ukraine, was working for them on the air. glory to the heroes, god, protect the king and

express your respect to every ukrainian soldier who is currently fighting in bagnyuk and in this horror in ukraine, we must give them all our support. the time of our program has run out, stay with the tv channel espresso. my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of the day and will involve relevant experts. take care of yourself and your loved ones, see you on the air. will the corporation survive if the family falls apart? turn on one of the best hbo series, the heirs, watch all seasons of the struggle for power in the ukrainian subscription of megogo. oh, there are no potatoes, you will bring them already, askin, she has caught something, i remind you, apply dr.

russian armored vehicles. during another sortie, at a similar intersection, the operator heads towards an abandoned russian bmp. in a few minutes it is already on fire. all these videos are the work of air defense operators from the 93rd mechanized brigade. and so it even happens there on the run. and so it happens that we fly past the target and bekha goes. we first beat bekha, then fly the second drone, see that besi is already damaged, she is no longer going and fly further to mine in the last seven days, 30 destroyed targets, that's without stress, even, that is, they flew out, flew away, that's it. among the objectives of the fighters are logistics, i.e. transportation of personnel or supplies, firing points, infantry. eduard says that everything was learned thanks to the fpv operators from 91. today's result is 50-60% thanks to them, because they gave us their

experience and now we are on the same front line working together, in general we didn't know anything, we just arrived, the commander says: you were supposed to be javelinmen in the first place, but he he says: a new company is being created, that is, rupak, we will now be pilots, there will be kamikazes, there will be reconnaissance and so on, bombers, at first it was all raw, few people... there are many people even if they surrendered at some stage, but what about us went further, here we came to the fact that we work every day, a dozen drones is enough for a day or two, the rest of the boxes are already empty. in practice, it works for us, we take 10 drones with us and 50% of us hit the target, these good drones are russophobes, good

drones, rusozizers. now experienced operators themselves are looking for new approaches, testing munitions on the range, trying to make the use of drones even cheaper , first of all for resets, that is, multiple use of bpp with return, so fpv is also used, although they are usually used differently, they ram targets, so they stick in front of the projectile wires whiskers, we call them, they are whiskers, we call them, they lock, that is, they are in such a position when they lock one into the other, a charge is sent to the electrodetonator, it also works from this an explosion occurs, in general, technically we work with a cumulative projectile, it is processed in the same way, an electric detonator , an initiation board from an impact, or we close it with a mustache, and from this it... first person view is from the first person in augmented reality glasses, this is the main difference

from various copters controlled from the display, it is the glasses that help the pilot to focus and aim better. such drones appeared in significant numbers for military operations last fall, but they were first used for an attack with ammunition in the spring of the 22nd. there were flights on the front line even earlier. the first fpv drones in the war began to be used in the 19-20th year, when the factory versions of the dji fpv company were available for sale, the guys then used them quite effectively, few, but quite effectively, precisely for reconnaissance, they are at the maximum speed somewhere there they flew at 90-100 km/h at a height of 10-15 m along the trenches of the platoon at the points of the enemy's ropes and in this way conducted reconnaissance, then on still shots they analyzed where,

who, how many armed men there were. mykola i started studying the topic of fpv back in 2016, when high-speed drones were just appearing in ukraine. it was entertainment, they arranged races on special tracks. mykola did not become a professional racer then. for me, it remained as a hobby, in principle, but.... i would then acquire a very large baggage of knowledge for myself, when you become a pilot there, you want to assemble the fastest drone there, and therefore you need to understand this topic very well, that is , batteries, video transmitters, receivers, motors, everything, how to pick it up, then it is necessary it was for this drone to fly as fast as possible to overtake everyone, now it is necessary for it to fly maybe not very fast, but... to carry a good load and fly far. now these drones are such a versatile tool that they hunt any target. the task for

them largely depends on the requests of the infantry on the front line. for example, this is a video of a pursuit of a russian tank, the target was hit, but not destroyed. in the end, he left, we know, but then we didn't find the tank, so what kind of damage was done unfortunately we don't know. we are more trying to help our battalion during some assaults or during defense, so we try to hit the targets, let's say, the previous edge, it can be anything, or infantry reinforcements or machine gunners, the equipment now very rarely leaves in our direction, or leaves at quite, well, significant distances. batal is also on the defensive, so we are, so to speak, carouseling, the drone takes off, hangs, its battery runs out, there are 40 percent,

at this moment another one takes off, it is replaced, he drags himself home, and in this way... we watch the front edge, it doesn't work right away, you can search for an hour or two, you can fly for a day and not find anything. not everyone can fly fpv. oleksandr is still learning, but he is already an integral part of the team, looking for targets, recording hits and helping the operator navigate in space. when we look at each other, i am standing with the remote control, next to me is a small screen that displays it, the video. points, so i direct it to hit the target, it's a whole operation, because one picks up in half, another raises the mavik to adjust, the third raises another retrik, two people will not be enough for the job, it is better to have three, or even four, there are a lot of beginners pilots, and when they put on their glasses and

start flying for training, they so right behind this drone... they fly and there are such cases when they, if there are chairs sitting there, they can simply fall from this chair, you get used to it, and simply already, let's put it this way, you are not controlled by the drone, but you control the drone, and drone operators become everything more, as well as requests from the military to volunteers for the same drones, they are needed by everyone, from the ground defense to special units of the sbu and intelligence. in these stoyoptera boxes, the remains of the batch from the serhiy prytula charity fund. this is a very small part. to date, there is one unit left, which we, well, still have to ship , this is the csoa, the special services, these are very cool pilots, and this is the last batch of 1,500 units that we have had recently, there are units that

can to fly away, 10, there are subdivisions which with you for one combat trip, there are 25, 30, and we know the units, these are special forces, one of the best, to date, they can make 40 sorties per day, it all depends on the distance, on the situation at the front. ukraine, like russia , depends on one large supplier, china, in the production of thousands of drones. most of the components - frames, engines and almost all the internal stuffing are imported from there. they are trying to reduce the amount of this dependence, but the war. right now requires both quality and quantity, a lot of nuances adjustment, sometimes we push, there are shortages, accordingly, there are small ones from china, that is, there are literally maybe 3% defects on average from the factory, i think that this is quite tolerable, because there are

manufacturers there who, well, how are they they say that they are manufacturers in ukraine, then in their cases there is an order of magnitude shortage in terms of percentage, but we are developing in this direction, as far as i know, we are already starting to make motors, we are trying to make vtts, well, that is, we can definitely replace 50% , but again, these powers are not the ones we need front, then it costs 400-500 dollars there, but we must take into account the fact that we need a lot of them, and when we say that this is a batch of 50 or 100 pieces. it is no longer so cheap in 100 pieces, about 2 million hryvnias, it’s a week there, for some units it’s a week of work, for some it’s two weeks of work, i would really like to grow to the moment when we put it on stream seven, maybe 800 drones a month, that would be really great. in the application of fpv drones, as in the case of commercial uavs, the russian army in ukraine

was in the role of someone who catches up with this technology. occupation troops began to be used later, but due to greater resources, centralization and significant industrial potential, russia was able to at least partially compensate for this lag. only now, in the last month, we see that they started talking about the need to create such units in each brigade, sorry, we have been there for more than a year, we already have some of our own developments, tactics, and here is the most important thing, no less important. educational programs according to which guys, almost 24/7, even if there is no weather, he puts on glasses and stuffs his hands with fingers, all his free time. the russian army also makes massive use of drones, strikes personnel, including western equipment . for example, as reported in the deep state initiative, at the end of october in the south of the donetsk region, four russian attack aircraft
