in the role of a catch-up force, the occupying forces began to use this technology 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 it is the most important, no less important training programs and according to which guys almost 24/7, even if the weather is not good, he wears 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 initiative, at the end of october in the south-donetsk region, four russian attack aircraft were captured with the help of eight fpvs without loss. ukrainian positions, kilometers

of forest strip, seven out of 13 ukrainian soldiers died, others retreated. it is very difficult to say who wins when the analysts examine the public evidence of their use, we obviously see only a small fraction of the actual use of drones, because if it is not published on social media, it is usually a successful strike. statistically, many fpv strikes fail, significantly. some of the commercial drones are lost, so we only get a small window into the real world application of these technologies. ukraine led the process, set a trend with volunteer supplies of technology to the front, but not so long ago, russian volunteers , through the efforts of the defense sector, began supplying significant numbers of fpv to the front, possibly tens of thousands. the real number is difficult to name, but probably at least 20-25 per month. this is quite realistic, at this point. the

drone detector emits short beeps, somewhere near the art position, a russian bpp is circling. when something flies, here on the screen it gives information on what frequency, well, it is perfectly tuned to the lancet, hall and eagle, and it writes the initial letters, writes and shows. it was our kulibins who made a coat of arms, so they brought it to us so that we would be aware of who it was flies, because many fly, often ours, sometimes not ours, many, often ours, sometimes not ours, that's why he came alone, he came, i had the last one there, let's say this, i also have three children, the last one is like that, let's say , the last straw was when they beat my friend, they studied, well, in general.

for a very long time, he was in azov there, there was a third assault, he died, and i also didn’t say anything to anyone, so i got up in the morning , in short, i left, i left only the woman brought the bill and showed it, and i was still walking on the way, more children, also her pleased, she says yes, she says that he is stupid, i say, well, in general, such a story is true, that's for sure. artillerymen began to work actively, as a rule , their work consists in covering their own fighters, their own battalion, who are on the front line. 87, climb, climb, climb, climb, climb, climb, they also seem stupid.

they are not stupid, they watch how ours work, in small groups, with support , that's exactly how they start to walk, become more active, they beat with phosphorus at night, they beat with phosphorus at night, we've been here for how long, the second month, for two months, well six times i watched, i even filmed once on the phone, so unscrupulous, insolent, this time the calculation led fire on the infantry, there was an assault attempt. you rejoice, on the contrary, you rejoice, you rejoice, on the contrary, you rejoice when you are covered, when you hit, but terrible things happen there, if you hit , you just hear the song constantly, but you do not see it, this horror, you just do it and hear it , artillery is traditionally called by the gods of war, because of the working distance, because of the cluster effect, but in the case of the soviet d30, it is almost invisible, because it is well

cloaked, this gun is capable of engaging targets at a range of over 15 km. at the same time, there are now fpv drones that are just as capable... of carrying ammunition to such a distance and even deeper. at the beginning of a full-scale war, fpivdrones struck at a distance of approximately 5-7 km. and now we can talk about the officially recorded flights of drones at a distance of up to 25 km. this requires certain conditions: first of all, the correct topography of the area. provide flight range, radio communication. without repeaters, drones fly 5, 6, 7 km. that is why now videos of the destruction of barrel and rocket artillery, for example, the sun cell,

tur anti-aircraft missile complexes and other valuable systems, both in russia and in hiding, are appearing en masse. the scheme of operation is approximately as follows: detection of a target by a reconnaissance uav, rising in the air without... the signal bypasses the terrain and the range appears, but the pilot is always in danger, since the video signal from the drone is analog, not encrypted, so everyone can see it, besides there have been multiple cases of drone control being intercepted by another party and we are tracking and we are tracking the pilots russians, and they are ours, because the equipment can be manufactured, drones can be made , but it is very difficult to train a competent pilot , in fact it is a big long process, not everyone is given it, that is why pilots always try to disguise themselves and hide so that they cannot be destroyed by the enemy. to place drones in such an area so that the enemy does not understand in which direction this drone is flying , to confuse in every possible way, or to fly at a very low,

very low altitude, then to climb, for this i said that it is necessary not only to be a pilot, but also to understand technically , as there is a video transmission, how to use the topography of the area, just to confuse the enemy so that he sees your picture, technique, physics as soon as possible, or rather you will not deceive, so the guys understand in general how it works, what the radio horizon is, what is needed for this , what are the conditions, where is there more... they take a risk by choosing a point there, in principle, the russians also understand where we have heights and so on, so it is a certain risk, but a person, if he understands how it works, he chooses the best conditions from those that are available, and here we have this one

the result is that even in the forest between the trees and into the building we fly, and anti-drone and mass fpv drones have not yet found effective protection, most talk about electronic warfare systems, anti-drone guns that are used against ordinary uavs are not suitable due to the high speed of fpv. bathing systems still have low efficiency, and their use carries a risk. imagine that there is an antenna in the field that radiates 50 watts of power in all directions. of course, it will be noticeable to the enemy, and he will be able to adjust for us. a proper dome should work like this. it will be in passive mode. he captures the drones, after that he. turns on for a certain time, suppresses the drone, turns off again and works in the regular mode, those solutions that we are currently making by ourselves in ukraine, they radiate all the time, constantly transmit, that is why electricity is wasted, so there is constant exposure, including personnel , which may be somewhere nearby, and plus, as

i said, the effectiveness of these systems is unfortunately questionable. efficiency of dome systems repii flash evaluates at the level... at the same time, on russian equipment, in particular tanks, they were already fixed on the basis of chinese components. russian manufacturers also plan to install silencers on modernized tanks. the people have already started calling them a microwave oven, they install various high-power devices that emit, let's call them , interference waves. and which prevent fp vidrun from flying as effectively and as close to the target as possible, unfortunately, in some places they have learned to do this, but it cannot be said that it is effective yet. issu and the russian military in war use the same frequencies to

control fpv drones and get a picture from them, again , equipping the same ones, so the rep systems are aimed at suppressing these very communication channels, and ukraine and russia are trying to switch to other ranges. where there are no suppression systems yet. whoever finds a mass solution first will have a temporary advantage on the battlefield, but finding a free range is not easy. 1010 mhz are prohibited frequencies to the whole world there, the planes exchange service information with each other and there is a system that prevents the planes from colliding. i heard from the russians that there are attempts to go into this range , for example, nothing flies over ukraine anyway, why not? it is necessary to change the boards completely, that is, to use other receivers, to use a different set of antennas and more, it will be necessary to choose these frequencies, because if we look at the radio frequency spectrum, everything is occupied there. the so-called grills - ridged screens on the turrets of russian tanks appeared

a few years ago. then the vrf explained that it was protection against american anti-tank missiles. today, such boards are on both ukrainian and russian equipment, but already as protection against drones. in many cases, armored vehicles are tried to be covered with grills in a circle, but this does not guarantee the safety of either the crew or the equipment. meanwhile, the first boards are appearing abroad. for example, on the tanks of the israeli army. probably, everything will develop relatively quickly. clearly, large armies are at risk from small commercial drones, as we are now seeing in the conflict between israel and hamas, we have seen the use of quadcopters and efidrones in the civil war in sudan. we are likely to see more and more of these applications in other conflicts as well. the biggest challenge is the ease with which these drones and related components can be obtained from international online marketplaces, and the ease

with which pilots willing to learn can gain the knowledge to become an fpv and quadcopter operator. operators hit the equipment despite the extra protection, but they are different the metal grates make it difficult to target weak areas, they are enough to disperse the cumulative stream of the standard drone charge, the pg7v grenade launcher shot. repeatedly fpv: even the usual masking net did not stop them, they got tangled in it, i would like to see a standard ammunition finally appear, which would be manufactured according to some quality standards, which would meet all the safety measures that should be received, first of all, i will protect the pilot from accidents, this is exactly what we need as a state to finalize and launch into mass production. over the past year and a half

, fpv drones as a technology and a tool for warfare have made a significant leap forward in number, distance and tactics of use. the presence of a significant number of such drones and trained operators already significantly affects success in both defense and offense, and this technology will continue to develop intensively. the offensive on avdiivka was stopped by fpv drones and some. guys, i don't know how they did it, they managed to cover more than 30 pieces of equipment in one world day, i predict that next year there will already be some kind of homemade protection of equipment against fpv, because we are also working on it, because we are also suffering from fpv. and when all this happens, their popularity may decrease a little. but the need for artillery ammunition, on the contrary , is increasing, because, sorry,

there is never a lot of bull. there will be various types of fpv drones produced by various defense companies, including volunteer and small design bureaus. there will be fpv aircraft-type and others that will be able to carry more ammunition, more dangerous load, and of course, now a lot of effort is directed at enabling these ephivdrones with the help of artificial intelligence, target recognition, landscape recognition, to act more autonomously in the conditions of electronic warfare, and it is also possible to act in groups or even a swarm. fpv uavs will not displace other types of weapons from the battlefield, but they have already become much more dangerous than a few months ago, both for the infantryman on the front line and for equipment tens of kilometers away from her. the use of fpv technology requires not only the high-quality training of specialists, but also the development of the production of the equipment itself and

the improvement of protection systems against it , besides, it should be taken into account that this is in the plans of each of the parties, these were the realities of donbas, my name is roman pagulych, see you soon. agency wivinil represents. on december 3, 6:00 p.m., fest republic invites you to a fabulous concert by solomiya chubai, a time to believe in miracles for oleksa. jalapita band. koko: school of arts of the free and indifferent. a concert of light and goodness on nicholas day for children from with love the third of december 18:00. festreblik ticket equals charity, live sound.

ranks of those who will stay forever. line up under flags of the same colors as on the battlefield, tens of thousands of graves, hundreds of cemeteries in big cities, in small villages, this is our lost generation. i really want to return to ukraine, but my mother says that it is dangerous, how to solve the demographic problem? and what awaits us in the future? the predictions we have are either sad or very sad. i went to my first grade in poland. there are many ukrainians who left, will never return. what should the government do in order to convince these people to return.

a week of memorable dates and high-ranking visits, how residents of border areas survive under shelling, and who benefits from blocking the polish-ukrainian border. about this and much more in today's issue. evaluation of euromaid events no longer divides ukrainians. what did they come to... lloyd austin, boris pistorius, charles michel and other distinguished guests. how russians destroy friendship, a city in sumy oblast, who was unlucky to be located near the border with the aggressor. how much does ukraine lose every day from the blockade of the border by polish carriers, and who and when can influence the situation. november 25: day of remembrance of

the holodomor victims and the 90th anniversary of the holodomor. 1932-33 in ukraine. deliberate extermination of millions of ukrainians by the soviet authorities. in the 20th century, it remains an unhealed wound in our genetic memory. today, almost a century later, we are once again experiencing genocide at the hands of the russians. they destroy our cities and villages, no they spare expensive rockets to target grain warehouses. memorials to the victims of the holodomor are being dismantled in the occupied territories. it is hard to imagine what would happen to us now, if 10 years ago millions of ukrainians had not defended our freedom during the revolution of dignity. if the russian chekists managed to realize their imperial ambitions. someone says: well, we would become the second belarus, but there would be no war. those who are well acquainted with

our history assure that there was simply no option not to fight in their generation of ukrainians. if russia managed to capture us easily, all dissenters could once again rot in prisons, and the rest would be driven to conquer western europe. according to a recent study by the foundation, democratic initiatives jointly with the company operative sociology, almost 53% of ukrainians consider it a revolution of dignity, an event that radically changed the course. stories of ukraine. so, how did society's perception of the maidan change? let's see further. euromaidan, revolution of dignity, heavenly hundred. words that were imprinted in the memory of millions of ukrainians during the stormy winter ten years ago. everyone put their own content into them, their hopes and fears, and each had the courage

to speak for the people. but sociology is a science, and sociologists work with numbers, even at the end of 2003, before the great blood on the maidan, they first measured society's attitude to the protest against violence, dictatorship and the russian world, the results showed that ukrainians were divided in their views. at that time , half of the population supported the protest, and 42% of ukrainians opposed the protest. the division had a distinct regional character. euromaidan was mainly supported by the western and central regions. while the majority of the east and south were...' which is not surprising, given medvedchuk's dirty technologies for dividing ukrainians and the total dominance of russian propaganda in yanukovych's ukraine. in addition, before the revolution of dignity , ukrainian society still had childish dreams and naive hopes. the majority, although they supported the course for joining the eu, but at the same time wanted that

there would be no borders or visas between ukraine and russia in the future. europe or the russian world, it was necessary to make an adult choice, but ukrainians long for it avoided the execution of the heavenly hundred, the victory of the revolution of dignity, the occupation of crimea and the beginning of russian aggression in the donbass are difficult. stages of maturation of ukrainian society. already at the end of december 2014, the events on the maidan were positively evaluated by almost 54% of ukrainians and almost all historical ukrainian regions, with the exception of donbass and slobozhanshchyna, i.e. kharkiv region. and this is a very high result against the background of war and severe economic crisis for a country where peace and well-being have been declared the highest values ​​for decades. in spite of this, russian propaganda and the fifth column inside the country continued to poison public opinion, and the evaluation of euromaidan continued to divide ukrainians, until the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia.

for example, as recently as august 2020, 54% of ukrainians called the events of 2013-14 a revolution of dignity, a just uprising of the people against the authoritarian government. at the same time, almost a third, repeating hostile narratives, called their illegal coup d'état. february 24, 2022 changed everything: bucha, irpin, mariupol. killed and tortured peaceful people, whose hands were tied and shot in the back of the head. the great war finally changed the attitude of ukrainians to their recent past. at the end of 2022 , the number of those who consider the protest on the maidan to be a revolution of dignity has increased sharply. such already. a little more than 10% hold the opposite opinion, which is almost three times less than before the full-scale invasion. perhaps even more important is the fact that

for the first time in the assessment of those events, all ukrainian regions, in particular the south and east, which were perhaps the most affected by the missiles, came together. aerial bombs and shells that the russian peace brought to ukrainian land. society has grown up, it has made a final choice, but is forced to pay a high price for it. president of the european parliament roberta mytsola is also confident that 10 years ago we took a decisive step on the way to the european future. she wrote an ex on the social network. the revolution on the maidan forever changed the future of ukraine. 10 years later, on this day of dignity and freedom, we proudly stand next to ukraine, on the verge of starting negotiations on joining the eu. because. defends our values, with every missile launched against it by russia, our support grows stronger. and it is also symbolic that at the beginning of this week

it became known that the european parliament agreed to open an office in kyiv in order to establish business relations with the ukrainian parliament. it is worth noting that the european parliament has liaison offices for each member state, and only a few offices have been established within it. cities, so this is definitely a good sign. and this week , the head of the european council, charles, spoke a lot about ukraine michelle thus, on friday, during a joint press conference with the prime minister of canada , justin trudeau, and the head of the european commission, ursela funderlein in canada, the head of the european council emphasized again that the eu will support ukraine as long as it is necessary. michel assured that in the union is ready to make additional decisions regarding support for ukraine and introduce new sanctions against the russian federation. but it is also worth mentioning that charles michel

came to ukraine this week with positive news for us. in kyiv at a press conference with president of ukraine volodymyr zelskyi and president of moldova maya sandu, he clearly stated: we will do everything to convince the 27 members. in the eu, that we need a positive decision in december, and the very beginning of accession negotiations will be a signal to the kremlin and to all those who want to undermine the world order and democratic principles, - said mr. michel. in addition, the european council must adopt the multi-year budget of the eu by the end of the year. the head of the european council is sure that it should include a special ukrainian fund of 50 billion euro. this question stands. in the council on the agenda, which is displayed on the official website of the body. it is known that even when we receive the first tranche from the fund, it will happen in 2024

- ukraine's denys shmehal. the money will be used to calculate social benefits, pensions and salaries for doctors and teachers. this week, for the second time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion , the head of the pentagon, lloyd austin, came to ukraine. he met with president volodymyr zelsky and reaffirmed his unwavering support and noted that together with allies and partners will continue to support urgent needs. of ukraine, both on the battlefield and long-term defense requests. from kyiv, austin traveled to poland, where he met with defense minister marish blaszczyk and american soldiers. it was there that he voiced the real picture of the war, if ukraine is left alone with the enemy. putin will not stop if he takes over ukraine. then he will go to the baltic countries, and then you and your comrades in arms will be on. the front lines

fighting putin, who we should have stopped earlier, austin said. already the next day, after the visit of the head of the pentagon , the minister of defense of germany, boris pistorius, came to kyiv with an unannounced visit. in the ex social network, german defense representatives published a post: minister pistorius arrived in ukraine to personally form an idea of ​​the current situation and the effectiveness of german support. at the beginning of his visit, he laid flowers at the memorial to the heroes of the maidan in kyiv. pistorius himself once again promised further support for ukraine. visits of high-ranking officials to of ukraine took place on the eve of another meeting in the rammstein format. it probably means that they wanted to know personally what our country's needs are on the battlefield and what kind of help we need.

and it is quite understandable why, after a visit to kyiv at the 17th meeting of the contact group on the defense of ukraine within the framework of the ramstein format , lloyd austin, during his speech, said: as ukraine stands on the threshold of another winter of war, i call on this group to provide ukraine with the capabilities air defense to protect its people. boris during a video conference with colleagues , pistorius said that germany will provide ukraine with four additional launchers of the irst medium-range anti-aircraft system, including guided missiles. also drones and drone defense systems, demining machines, satellite communications, rap tools, winter gear and much more. and for the first time: this week , the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, valery zaluzhny, took part in the ramstein format meeting. he expressed.

partners for support and in detail informed about the situation on the battlefield, noting that the situation at the front is complicated, but controlled. meanwhile , the ukrainian border is under constant terror, more than 640 explosions have been heard in the sumy oblast alone in the last week. the russians are striking all the border areas of the region from their territory, firing indiscriminately from barrel artillery. hails and mortars. residential buildings, civilian infrastructure and peaceful communities become their targets. our film crew visited a town 8 km from the border with russia federation. the settlement with the symbolic name druzhba has become a living testimony of russian crimes that go far beyond the front line. for more details, see further. this is what life looks like on the border with russia.

racists do not spare even hail in order to destroy ordinary civilian private houses. these fires were once mr. victor's house. the russians decided that this 77-year-old pensioner was too dangerous, so they hit his house with three hailstones. one shot, under the second, i already had it in my hands will rise, at this time the third one, how about a sharakhne. there was a fire, the curtains in the bedroom jumped out, and i was behind the wall here, within a few minutes of our conversation with mr. victor, dozens of explosions rang out in the city , here a dog was killed, here was an armchair, so this was the territory, the contour, here it is , it's here, it's sharakhnoe, it's me 7 m, he's she,
