[000:00:00;00] the dnipro is the front line, so it is precisely those settlements that are located directly on the coast, for example, like the cossack vesele, these are the settlements that are located near the kakhovskaya hes dam, and they suffer from massive strikes directed by aerial bombs, which the occupiers increased, which the occupiers increased the number of shelling and the intensity of shelling. huh, i wanted you to comment here, so this one. traitor gauleiter of the occupied kherson region, putin's servant, volodymyr saldo, said that they have the strength to recapture kherson, and then go to mykolaiv, izmail, odesa, well , let's not take it so far, but in principle, that's what i'm so interested in, what do these statements of the balance show, that he needs to somehow raise the fighting spirit in his posipak or something?

but this is not the first aggravation of saldo, and you know, it was very funny when, a year later, the occupiers were knocked out of the right bank and from the city of kherson, then right there, a few weeks after they moved to ginichesk, they declared ginichesk the capital of their kherson region, then even then he began to declare that this is it soon we will return to kherson again, and then there will be attacks there that were there in the dnieper delta, and when the occupiers tried to strengthen their presence on the islands in the dnieper floodplains, he already gave the impression that we were about to capture the city. kherson, there is another statement, here is this one, it’s not anymore, well, if you count there, this is the sixth or seventh statement for this year that they are about to return to kherson, moreover, he is dreaming there only kherson, he also talks about mykolaiv and odesa and izmail, that is, he raves a lot there

powerful, this is his next wave of dizziness, and i think that... you should not pay attention, because he always grinds something as if in a fever, and today it is very significant that we will repeat again that our presence is already on the left bank, and today its armed forces of ukraine struck a very powerful and effective blow at a military meeting, a jubilee meeting, near the old and new lighthouse, yuleninsk ... precisely at this meeting was, was such a powerful arrival, so far the internet connection has disappeared there, it is very weak, it is not yet known for sure how many good russians were there, and what their ranks were, but considering the fact

that they occupied the whole... naap and held a meeting there, we will wait for good news, non-civilians were not harmed, this once again indicates that our armed forces hit the katsaps exclusively point-wise and surgically, and civilians do not suffer from this, well, very well, we understand that the closer the armed forces are of ukraine, the more actively they can work, certain people, let's say, will not be there to specify, because i don't know, in the occupied, temporarily occupied territories, we know the stories in melitopol and mariupol, where they find zastre. russian servicemen, butchered, killed, and well, these are not isolated cases, this shows that the resistance movement is active and there are also our people who help the armed forces of ukraine to destroy the enemy, well, if we have a moment, i will ask very briefly, interesting information, where the occupied kherson region was forbidden to buy new year's christmas toys with budget funds, only toys, or maybe some other things, because you know, you can use toys, but we didn’t buy them, we brought them from here, but we bought everything else for millions of hryvnias, please, you

know, the kherson military administration is already there, we had cases when even the military administrations, which are still in the occupied territories, but formally they were created, then the management wished to purchase new cars, and there with the maximum configuration, precisely with the help of journalists with the help of communities, the public were blocked all these purchases, and at the moment both the public and journalists are very closely monitoring that there is no wastage, and precisely, i personally insisted that all the funds that are there be free, including from the maintenance of the regional council, the same, which currently spends more than 2 million a month there , and is in fact incapacitated and incapable and unauthorized, it is better to direct all free funds, precisely from

the salaries of the management, which are sky-high, to... aid to the military, and not to brochures and thanks to each other, that that they reward a friend there friend, i thank you very much, but today we will be with a guest, by the way, later we will talk about the reform of the civil service, this is a very important story by the way, so you will hear and maybe you will be shocked by something, thank you serhiy okhlany for your comments, deputy the kherson regional council was in touch with us about the situation in the kherson region, and now i was asking about volodymyr sald, i will continue this topic, i will now add to the conversation serhiy zgurets, the director of the defense press agency and the host of the military summaries of the day column, serhiy, i congratulate you, vasyl, i congratulate you our viewers, it's delusional. the statements of volodymyr salda, the traitor and gauleider of the occupied kherson region, temporarily occupied, that they will go to kherson, mykolaiv, odesa, izmail, is this an aggravation, or do the russians really want, like hitler in 44 , to go on a counteroffensive in order to protect themselves from our

counterattack. well, i think it's really a complete hoax, because now the enemy doesn't have such opportunities to decide on such a step connected with a new offensive, let them still get a defensive defense, which now is not ... it's quite possible, but in any case it is necessary to consider the other side as well, the fact that the enemy there has adopted a new defense budget for the next year, in fact there are 120 billion dollars there, it is probably twice as much as the enemy had before the war, that is, in principle, he is determined to recover a little , but this means that our partners must take seriously all threats and assistance to ukraine, and further in our column we will talk about the specifics of wars. drones around bakhmut, in assessments from our military, about what is happening on the front line in detail, and whether indeed, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine does not have

a war plan for the 24th year, more on that in a moment. i will start by saying that today in brussels, on november 27, the meeting of the ministers for foreign affairs of the nato countries began , and there the general secretary of the alliance stoltenberg noted that intensive combat operations are currently taking place on the front line in ukraine and that, most importantly, it is necessary to prepare for increased fighting and increased air missile attacks in the cities of ukraine, and therefore it is extremely important to provide further assistance to ukraine, and this is not why i will mention what the president of the czech republic, peter pavel, has already stated in one from publications that we, that is, europe and nato , have no other choice but to give ukraine everything it needs to fulfill the tasks of restoring control over its borders. any less help would be our defeat, he says of europe, but

pavel also honestly admitted that western supplies of military equipment are not enough for ukraine to continue high -intensity operations, we did not keep our promises to supply ukrainians with artillery ammunition. training on the f-16 started later than we wanted, and the fact that ukraine and still expects to receive german taurus missiles , but berlin has not yet decided whether to supply missiles or not, this creates an imbalance in supplies, and uncertainty is not a good basis for military planning - said peter pavel. but even under political conditions, there is a certain temporary uncertainty regarding the amount of support for ukraine, primarily from the us and germany, our military is doing its job on the battlefield with full dedication. and if we continue to talk about the front, let me remind you that over the past day, the defense forces

repelled 84 enemy attacks in various areas, this 20 more than the previous day, despite the rain, snow and frost, and this suggests that the weather is not the factor that mainly affects the pace of hostilities. the availability of forces and means, i.e. weapons, which were mentioned by the head of nato and the president of the czech republic petr pavel. and the russian occupiers are now trying to storm most actively in two areas, precisely in bakhmutskyi and avdiivskyi, together there were 50 military attacks of the enemy that were repelled, in particular in the bakhmudskyi direction 2028 attacks were repelled, while the commander of the ground forces oleksandr silskyi, assessing the general situation, determined, among other things, that the enemy is now intensifying the use of drones, chemicals from all over the front, and so we will talk in more detail about the

fighting near bakhmut, as well as about tactics and the use of drones on both sides , and now we are joined by the commander of the tera air reconnaissance unit of the third assault brigade , mykola volokhov, with the call sign abdul, mr. mykola, i congratulate you, it is good to see and hear, congratulations you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. before starting our conversation, i would like to remind you that your terra unit can be supported financially and on the website. division and on the telegram channel that you have, what an extremely interesting channel, and by the way, it shows how money turns into how you can then destroy the invaders with a drone, so congratulations on the fact that you have an extremely interesting channel and popular, and then i want to, and then i wanted to ask you about some things that first concern the situation around bakhmut, of course it is strange to ask in... how

the situation there is in certain areas, but there are things that i think you can tell our viewers about what is happening there , given that the general staff reports that the enemy there is intensifying hostilities in the direction of klischivka and andriivka, what is there now happens? it is true, the enemy is increasing activity little by little, although i would say that there was no such thing as when he deprived it, except in the case when we went forward, when he was forced to do it, but this cannot be called a decrease in activity , it's called what someone got pomordi and leaned back, ah, what can i tell you such an interesting thing, winter has started , for us it will be the first winter when we use kamikaze pv drones, and night large drones and in general a lot of types of drones that we have not used yet in the winter, the first problems with this begin, for example, because of such stormy winds, which were almost the whole of last week,

it was kind of difficult to work with drones, but we are adapting little by little, we will have to change something in the technique, so something will have to be readjusted, me i think that it will somehow work, but winter is such a time of year when it is extremely difficult to conduct hostilities, you know, in medieval europe it was once considered that it was a very, very bad tone to fight in winter at all, and wars stopped. in winter, of course, we have europe here, but not medieval, so we will continue, mr. mykola, i wanted to know about such a thing, how many flights on average can an fpv drone operator make in one flight operation, what does it depend on, the number of scouts goals, before that, from the number of fpv drones, from some other conditions, what are the average indicators for one operation, well, within the power of such a trained person? look, one calculation is planned for 15,

10-15 drones, right? 15 drones, the launch of 15 drones in one day, on duty, or in one operation, this is such a good indicator, yes , this is under the conditions, if the unit is secured, if there are enough drones, and all other restrictions, such as material ones, and they have been overcome, 15 drones, this means that, if we speak objectively, then efficiency half a drone, uh, every third target, is destroyed, yes, so this means that sometimes it happens, there some drones do not fly there due to the action of the enemy reb, and some drones may not fly due to some other objective factors of influence, for example, weather conditions and it is similar, i.e. the efficiency is basically the same as that of the wave-like russian lancets, although the lancet is a thing... more expensive than the vvidron is not so expensive, so 15 launches

in one calculation per shift, i.e. per working day, or per operation, is a normal indicator, and about stocks and supplies drones, drones or other drones, whether samples come to you from ukroboronprom, from state structures, or as before, the main flow is actually in a private company, an initiative group of people, and your funds that you collect. at the expense of your own information activities? you know, something comes from the state, right? i did not hold the production of ukroboronprom drones in my hands, the production itself, as a rule, is private initiative companies, in which sometimes the state buys, sometimes we buy on our own, i would say that most of the drones that we we have, we purchase independently by decision and a smaller part

is sent to us by the state, there are certain hopes that this will change next year, because at least what i heard that the state is very active in the direction of creating ukrainian production in us, somehow supporting them financially, or at least with orders, and to contract for the next year a sufficient number, well, so you understand, a sufficient number of iprons, this is quite a lot, for the brigade this is the average consumption per month, this is 1000 drones, this is the average, we are not yet we are talking about that it is necessary to have some first-line reserve there, some strategic reserve there. when. we are talking about certain qualitative changes in drones , information is already beginning to appear that fpv drones are beginning to be used at night, this means that other means are appearing in order to be able to provide combat video at night, as we have with such drones, do you already use such drones, or are we still

on the way to that, well, let me tell you this, in general, not so much about the latest technologies... it is customary to talk here, but i can you to assure you that in terms of night weapons, yes, i will not say whether they are used or whether we plan to use them in the near future, but we are absolutely not far behind the russians, they already sometimes use such equipment, although from what i have seen, analyzing their videos, i can say that these are one-time promotions, there is no such mass yet, it is worth understanding that even having a drone, for example, with a television camera, well, apart from the fact that it will cost a little more than the same one, but a melon , and he will still have them big problems with target reconnaissance, in the structure of target damage, yes, the very flight of the throne and damage is the last element of what needs to be obtained prior to

reconnaissance, and preliminary reconnaissance at night is quite such a complicated, complicated matter, so what if.. .. you don’t know, when this equipment goes there, it’s easy to take off, as they say on a lantern, then it will be a very large consumption of armor, but let ’s answer directly, in two words, yes, we have night drones with thermal imaging cameras, and with light-sensitive cameras, and they are used, very cool, in one of the conversations with our military, also from the mouth of attack drones, this military man said the phrase that fpv drones can actually slowly replace mortars when there is a shortage of mortars, this phrase caused a lot of criticism there in the comments to our video, how do you rate it? can, let's say, a significant number of drones still compensate for the lack of artillery or ammunition in one

direction or another? oh, no, it can't, it can't be replaced, i'll say right away, it's a little bit. means, here it is, let's say so, fpv drones are super efficient, but still it's situational tool, yes, still the mortar will shoot in the snow, the mortar will shoot in the rain, the mortar will shoot in the fog, yes , of course the accuracy will decrease in bad weather conditions, but it will still be able to shoot, imagine own defense, which is based exclusively on yogi drones, so the enemy has to wait for some dense enough fog , in which the achydrones will not be effective, in general , to arrive on armored combat vehicles, where to roll out a line of defense, so of course you can’t, you know, war is a complicated thing, as our life in general, and there is no such panacea, let’s build a lot of tanks and

go forward on tanks, or let’s build a lot of planes there and fly forward, there is no magic wand and success is achieved precisely between different types of troops, by different means , and of course, having normal tactics for their use, so no, drones, mortars are in favor. mr. mykola, how do you organize the training of watercraft operators, do you train them in-house, or do you have established contacts there with certain schools that really provide high-quality training personnel, and due to this, well, the training period is shortened, as established by the schools, well, look, and in general , the ability to use half-drones, so i will say to use, not to pilot, it consists of two components: the first is the physical skills of the pilot itself, that is, he must be able to fly a drone, and our pilots receive these basic skills in courses at various schools

, for example, we can say viktoridrome, there is such a school, we cooperate and are very satisfied with the result, and at the exit from this school we have a person who understands : in the structure of fpv drone, in setting up the fpv drone and actually in piloting the fpv drone. well, i'd say it's probably somewhere, as weird as it sounds, 20% of success. everything else is this, that material support, yes, those drones, that communication system, and probably the biggest part is the tactics of application, the material support itself is up to us, and training, tactics of application is also up to us, well, to teach a person tactics can only be used on the example of real combat conditions, you can of course tell something there, but how will this drone behave in the conditions of the operation of the enemy order, yes, you can even drive some... specifically, turn on our radio electronic warfare machine and say, well, it will be somewhere like this , but how it will actually be, the pilot will learn

only in real combat conditions, so such a pilot, who has previously been trained to pilot at school, is taken to the position , flies, acquires specific skills, how to deploy, how to camouflage, how to display equipment , how to react to what factors of influence, there to shelling, how to chase moving equipment, how to hit, how to hit planned targets, stationary shelter and fortification, all this is already learned on the spot. mr. mykola, thank you very much for your explanations, for what you do for our country, for our protection, and i will remind our viewers that it was mykola volokhov, the commander of the tera air reconnaissance unit as part of the third separate assault brigade, and i emphasize once again, that on the website of the unit company , it is possible to financially support this unit with funds that will be directed to the purchase of fpv drones, which will then be used

against our enemy quite effectively, there there are a lot of videos and our defenders demonstrate how effectively the enemy's manpower and equipment are affected, and then we will talk about other aspects of the front and about the events surrounding the war, we will now be joined by viktor kivlyuk, a reserve colonel and an expert of the defense center mr. viktor, i welcome you to channel espresso, glad to see and hear. good evening, mr. sergey. we talked with our previous guest, in general, about the situation near bakhmut, i would like you to have a more comprehensive assessment of everything that is happening now on the front lines, the general dynamics, and then they mentioned in more detail about bahmud, avdiivka and the south, those areas that are now of greatest interest to our viewers. and on the other hand is the most intense in terms of combat?

the situation at the front is not particularly dynamic today, if we talk about the events that took place during november, then the following picture emerges: in the kupinsky direction, the 25th and 138th brigades of the enemy have been unsuccessfully trying to advance to simkivka for a month, they are not succeeding, the 15th regiment of the second motorized rifle division of the enemy is fighting in the district of may day and has an advance of about 2 km. in the area between orlyanka and yagidny, several of our strong points were captured by the 26th tank regiment , 47th tank division, between raigorodka and novoyegovka, on the contrary, our defense forces pushed the enemy back about half a kilometer, and to stabilize the situation in the raigorodka district, the enemy threw 380 motorized rifle regiment. in the berdyansk

direction, units that arrived in ukraine from sakhalin island counterattacked in the area staromorskyi and advanced somewhat in the area of ​​baltka hrushev, in the direction of tokmat, in the area of ​​robotino, our units of the operational-strategic grouping of the troops of tavria, in the direction of the trenches, pushing the 136th brigade of the enemy from its position and the 247th, the enemy's airborne assault regiment was also forced to leave his positions at an altitude of 140, and completely withdrew to verbove, where he took up new defensive positions in the settlement, but this is a very small dynamic, as you can see, advancing 200, 300, 500 m, then in one direction, then in the other. on bahmskyi

direction, the situation is more interesting, the enemy, having captured the city, created for himself such a salient, some 24 by 13 km in size, and now we can observe a situation when, if the command of the operational-strategic grouping of khortyts troops strikes twice in the direction of pokrovsky from the north and from the south, then in the encirclement... there will be a fairly significant group of the enemy, which is currently conducting combat operations in bakhmut, the enemy command is aware of this situation, north of bakhmut two airborne divisions of the enemy are trying to push our troops beyond berkhivsk reservoir, have an advance of the same 200 to 500 m per month, to the south , after regrouping, the enemy is trying to knock our troops out of positions in klishchiivki and andriivki districts, it turns out quite badly,

because the heights are reliably held by units of the khortytsya group. and the enemy cannot do anything about it. avdiyivka is the most tense area, i understand that the enemy command is trying to bring under the christmas tree to its political leadership the fact of mastering this city, just in the past day, the enemy has carried out 14 attacks, almost in full force, they are trying... to seize avdiivka, the first army corps, the eighth combined arms army of the enemy, the second and 41st armies, respectively , the enemy is attacking in the direction of the novokalynovy, steppe, coke chemical plant, is trying to break through the eastern and southern outskirts of avdiivka, to break into the thin pervomaisk,

further south in the districts of marinky and novomykhailivka, two divisions of the enemy, the 20th and 150th, with the support of the 39th brigade of the 68th army corps from petropalovsky kamchatka, are conducting combat operations in an attempt to somehow facilitate the advance in district avdiyivka, but they also cannot achieve any result, but in short, the situation today is like this. we have 3 minutes left and a significant number of questions, i will start with the most urgent one about the fact that this week actually began with inquiries or accusations from individual people's deputies that the general staff, relatively speaking, does not have a war plan for the next year, and wanted b to hear your assessments, what it is about, about defense planning documents that do not exist, whether they

really exist and the deputies never had access to them access and will not have access, or about some political things there that are directed, well, there to false claims to the military leadership, what are your assessments? in my assessment , the qualifications of people's deputies who perform certain functions related to the problems of state defense are extremely low. the law on the defense of ukraine clearly defines that the state must have a plan for the defense of ukraine. the president approved this plan. february 22, 2000, february 25, 2022, respectively, all the documents required by the legislation in the state are available, and the fact that they don't know about it in the parliament, in particular in the committee on national security, defense and intelligence, is probably a problem not of the military, but of politicians, so attempts to somehow call the military to some

responsibility look bad. and one more question about changing approaches to mobilization, because the president said last week that this week there will be such a concept, whether completed or presented, about the optimization of approaches, which means such changes in approaches to mobilization, it is about expanding the quantitative base of potential there mobilized or about some deeper things that can have a larger-scale impact on the situation on the front line? i think once again the politicians got confused. confusing the process of staffing the defense forces with the mobilization processes, which are pre-planned and comprehensively provided measures for the transfer of state authorities and the national economy to functioning in wartime conditions , no one said anything about it, so i think that the vaguely formulated task will lead to

to the same indistinct performance of it, another one presents... beds where you know, mr. viktor, well, thank you for your such tough and direct comments, and i will remind our viewers that viktor kevlyuk, a reserve colonel and an expert of the center for defense strategies, was on the air. these were the main highlights of the military results of this day, and more international and economic news later on the big broadcast of vasyl zima. good evening, we are from ukraine. thank you, serhiy zgorts, these were the military results of the day, thank you to his guests, and then the news, about the most important thing for this hour, i will tell you in detail i will tell two women were rescued from the rubble in turkey, they were hospitalized with serious injuries, two more women received minor injuries. the russians dropped two

fab 500 guided aerial bombs on one of the buildings of the toretsk mine. this will be reported in nacina.
