the next 45 minutes, my name is daria kudimova, good evening. well, let's start with the answers of kyiv residents, who were asked by our correspondents whether they are ready for possible blackouts due to russia's winter attacks, and how it was last year, this is what they answered. and do you prepare for blackouts and how? well, i am not preparing globally, in fact i have. two candles and matches and a supply of water and a charged power bank, i’m waiting, maybe when there will be no light, i’m like that, yeah, i forgot to buy something there and i’ll buy it again, well, in general, i’m a careless person and short-sighted in this regard, we’re getting ready, we bought firewood , that is, they did, and there are power banks, we are still planning a generator, so that’s how we are preparing, moscow rockets, so, i really

like to make a fire, do lessons by candles, tell me that it didn’t work out, it didn’t work out, but i wrote to candles once, in last year year, how did you experience blackouts, what is a blackout, a blackout, it is when there was no light, but candles were lit, probably the stove was put on, no, i am not preparing, it is impossible to cook. in such conditions, we are preparing for blackouts, we bought a power bank, bought dry alcohol, bought candles, we hope that it will not happen, because everyone says that our energy workers are well prepared, so i am already prepared, i have a sterling, i have a car battery and a power station generator , uh, well, power banks are all such a plate there. on gas, small portable, type

for camping, gas canisters, er, dry alcohol, well, last year there was no light already in october, and now december is starting, i think that something will still happen, but less than last year, we believe in our soldiers and in our energy, in our energy workers, we are almost not preparing, i bought a savings bank, nothing else, what about you? i haven't bought anything yet either, i'll probably do it later. very good question, no, we are not preparing at all, but why, and what to do, well, it will be and it will be, you know, i have such a job that i got up in the morning and left everything works, and in the evening i returned home, i have already prepared, as i have panels, a generator, if morally, i go to bed earlier, wake up earlier, the western pppo has turned kyiv into a rarity. a dangerous place in a warring

country, this is what politiko recently wrote, explaining that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia, ukraine has been able to strengthen its defenses with modern western systems. despite the relative security in the capital, journalists note, residents of the eastern and southern regions of ukraine still suffer from daily shelling. in particular, russia strikes odesa and its strategic port, as well as the kherson, donetsk and zaporizhzhia regions. at the same time , the new york times writes that ukraine is entering the winter with a weak energy supply. according to experts and officials interviewed by the publication, the situation after russia's massive attacks last year managed to improve only to a small extent. substation buildings are not complete and critical equipment such as transformers are in short supply. however, it is noted that ukraine has dramatically increased its ability to shoot down russian missiles and drones before they get close to the power grid.

how is the protection of the air force different, compared to last year, what systems are protecting ukraine now, what should the energy system of ukraine and not only it prepare for, and how many missiles has russia stockpiled for the winter, about everything. this and not only we asked the air forces of the armed forces forces of ukraine. next is the direct speech of the spokesman yuriy ignat. we have no other choice but to keep our air defense in readiness. this is the detection of anti-aircraft targets, which approaching us, these are drones, missiles, airplanes, and helicopters. by the way, this is done by the radio engineering troops, who are celebrating their own professional holiday today, they are the eyes of the air force, i would like to congratulate everyone who is on combat posts. is located day and night, so timely detection and, accordingly, transmission of information and shooting down already by our anti-aircraft missile units, fighter aircraft and mobile fire groups depends on them, unfortunately, drones and missiles can fly precisely on those

routes where, in fact, there are weak points , actually anti-aircraft defense, and this is actually the use of the terrain of the areas, this is the use of sparsely populated ukrainian territories, they often lay those routes on the borders of the regions in order to bypass the main forces and means that we have concentrated on the territory of the country, of course, we need to strengthen our mele pppo, mele ppo is what will save us from the shaheds, from the shaheds who constantly pester us every night, you see, a record number was released in the kyiv region, 70. at one time, this is an absolute record or an anti-record in our case, that is why the number of mobile fire groups is increasing, by the way, tonight very effectively , more than half of the targets were destroyed, precisely by mobile groups, and this is what the commander of the air force spoke about recently, noted

them, that is the attack on kyiv with 75 shaheds, about 40%, up to 40 destroyed mobile fire groups, this allows us to save anti-aircraft missiles. are priceless to us, we are not even talking about the price, that they are expensive, we are talking about the shortage of missiles, which will always be and is, because of the means of air there is a lot of attack, the cost of these missiles is high, the west supplies us as much as possible, we understand that these missiles, their main task, like the air force, is to restrain the russian aviation, to prevent it from appearing in the airspace that we control our defense forces , and repel, if necessary, an attack by manned aircraft and cruise missiles, the main such tasks today are to strengthen air defense, to make not only active protection there, but also a passive means, this is both masking and strengthening

of critical infrastructure facilities , that's it in the end, energy engineers, who also deal with this passive protection, are engaged in the equipment of certain objects with the same gebions, nets, additional obstacles in order to prevent damage to sensitive places of these objects, and people, in turn, also have to prepare, here is the actual preparation there are more people going, because you need to understand how to act in critical moments, have a clear plan of action in case there will be any objects nearby, yes, damaged and so on, when a fire may break out, always have with you the necessary things for evacuation and assistance victims, now it is incorrect to compare the strength of air defense last year and now, we have a completely different air defense now than it was last year, last

year, the basis of air defense, when the shelling began, was the soviet air defense, that is, the s-300 anti-aircraft missile systems. the main ones, well, plus ppohoputnyk vist , that's clear, there were no such mobile fire groups and so on, in such a number, there were certain units, of course from pezerka, there from krupnokali. with kudmets, but there was not such a quantity, and we spent a great deal a large number of anti-aircraft guided missiles, if we take statistics, more than 1,000 cruise missiles and more than 1,000 kamikaze drones were launched in six months during attacks on our critical infrastructure, it is clear that for those more than 1,000, even more anti-aircraft guided missiles went, sometimes two to one the goal, therefore the costs... are high, that some equipment breaks down, some equipment is attacked by the enemy,

therefore it is necessary to understand that the depletion of soviet systems is still there, it is becoming increasingly difficult to replenish it, because the countries that are there they also provide those soviet systems, spare parts for them, ammunition for them, well, there are also a small number of them, you know that both bulgaria and slovakia were armed with soviet systems, other countries, not so many. therefore, today, more and more western equipment is being used for the ground forces' pppo as well as the air force's armament , you know these systems, this is with this, in addition to the s300 b1 s125, in the air force we have a complex already hawk, we have, ayisti, we have nasams , patriot and samptti, if we also take the air defense of the ground forces, then these are crotal, cheetah, avenger and other systems.

the nomenclature of which is very large today, there are really many names, it is difficult to even list them all there by memory, but the number is important, in this case, we must really understand that the ppo of the small radio court, what is the purpose of destroying the shaheds in particular, it has a small radius of damage, the territory of ukraine is 603 km, well, this is within the framework of the 91st year. it is clear, well, but all the same, even without the occupied territories, it is clear that the front line is huge, and all this must be defended and the troops must be defended and cities and objects, therefore a small anti-aircraft missile with damage, 4-5 km, let's say a cheetah, it just needs to be banally more, in order to effectively protect our, our ukraine as a whole, in addition to the means we are talking about ground, ukraine desperately needs to uh, have... and air defense in the form of fighters like the f16, capable, thanks to their powerful

radars, thanks to missiles with active homing heads, to destroy enemy drones and missiles in the middle of the country as efficiently as possible, the f16 aircraft after all designed to intercept such targets. we have clear the data is from the main development office, we are informed about the number of missiles they have, they have 870, well, let's say 900, let's say they have completed 30 more, yes, this is how you can see how many missiles they had before the attacks of the past year, objects of critical infrastructure, and i call them in general objects of the fuel and energy sector, because they also hit oil depots, oil refineries, and of course energy, then the enemy fired, as i already said, more than 1,000 rockets, well, we don't count drones now, and drones from the same the number, it's just... missiles, there can be more than 100, approximately, but if today they have about 900 all together, and ballistic,

and winged, and daggers, this is all calculated by the gour, so there will probably be, there is a high probability of attacks , such as last year, combined with the use of a certain number of missiles , air, ground and sea-based, will combine them with drones, drones, maybe... they will be launched at the same time, maybe first drones, then missiles and vice versa, that's it, and practice, which was last year, after all, well, this type of weaponry, and drones and missiles cannot be used in any other way, they have other missiles, others that are less talked about, but they are there, these are h22 missiles, s300 anti-aircraft missiles, which we tonight, by the way, about eight anti-aircraft missiles flying along a ballistic trajectory struck donetsk region.

there are also aviation missiles, such as the kh-59, in fact, they use them every day, there are kh-31, there are kh-35, eh, onyx and so on, but they have a limited range, but they are also means of impression with which you can to work with the enemy in the front-line zones, and don’t forget, of course, guided aerial bombs , it’s a very, very scary thing, it’s 500 kg, you fly with wings, well, in the front-line zone, there 20-25 km deep, they can launch them, so this is also a problem for us, well, but as we can see, the armed forces and defense forces actually repulse the air attacks of the enemy and accordingly wait for reinforcements, and of course they strike back, without this, too. do not forget to subscribe to the radio liberty youtube channel, comment on this broadcast, give a like, your opinion is important to us, and in this way you can support our work

and make this broadcast watch as many viewers as possible. well, then mykhailokhov, a military expert, joins our broadcast, mr. mykhailo, my congratulations, good evening. good evening, well, we are actually talking about the fact that if we recall this winter-autumn period, russia began to actively attack energy facilities at the end of september, and since then we have had several such massive attacks, but at the same time, such a situation, which was observed year during this period not yet why do you think they don't resort to last winter's tactics and what are they waiting for? and, well, first of all, they are waiting for a decrease in temperature, and the decrease that is, it is still not critical for supplying heat to homes, it is, well, how many days have we had minus 8 there, minus 10, it is a small temperature, therefore, of course, for the russians to

have the maximum effect, they are waiting for the temperature to drop. russia is currently testing a new tactic of strikes on the energy infrastructure, it is about such a large number of drones, which is why the alarms 6-7 hours last. what is the difficulty for pppo of these attacks and how dangerous can drones be for energy companies? it's absolutely certain that the main thing this year is going to be drones, because they don't have as many missiles as they did last year, and it's going to be drones. and unfortunately, drones are quite powerful weapons in the sense that to destroy them you need to use a large number of anti-aircraft artillery shells, mobile groups, you cannot use missiles against them, long-range or medium-range missiles, they are simply not their heads

they are simply not interested in homing, it needs to be found in the air and mobile groups should be launched at it, which will destroy it as a result, at the same time, it can be said that it is a less powerful weapon, because the fighting part of the shaheds is 30-40 km, of course missiles have it more, these 30-40 km, how dangerous they can be for energy, as far as i understand, they can also destroy substations, power plants, well, power plants are not military objects, but the last , in recent months they have been somewhat prepared for missile strikes, was information that the ministry of defense together with the ministry of energy, they covered it up as best they could, it is about

the fortifications that are being built around these objects, because to move them, they are immobile, it is impossible to move them, and the russians have the coordinates of all these objects. well, you mentioned that russia has fewer missiles this winter, and we were listening to an excerpt from an interview with the air force spokesman, mr. egnat, who said that almost a thousand are stockpiled, but they are different missiles. , and about drones in including, but the question is that mr. egnat also noted that at the moment there is a need for ukraine to... increase the number of small mobile groups, at the expense of which this can be done, that is, it is primarily about human resources, do we have a need to additional, in additional types of weapons, but these mobile groups , the most primitive, as you can say, are pickups with installed, heavy machine guns,

that is, machine guns of caliber 12.7 and more, as well as anti-aircraft, anti-aircraft systems. artillery like cheetah, like shilka, well, something, something it’s like this, now these mobile groups are being scaled up, but again, it is necessary to practice, because the training of the personnel, it, well, let’s say frankly, is not yet enough to effectively fight drones in the entire, entire territory of ukraine, now we see , the previous... days of the night, that they were flying over almost the entire territory of ukraine and it is necessary that there should be as many such groups as possible. uhu, well, from time to time we hear. news about bpp hitting electric substations, including in russia, mainly refers to the ones bordering ukraine regions, bilhorsk, kursk, but

as far as we can judge from the information available from videos, photos, and materials, it is about the temporary blackout of some settlements in the russian regions bordering ukraine. what is the meaning of such attacks on the energy facilities of the russian federation and does ukraine have the ability to respond in a mirror manner... to attacks on the energy structure? well, first of all, all these raids are psychological in nature, because most russians still believe that this war is far away, and secondly, i don't know if it's worth it for ukraine, take the same, such and such blows on the civil infrastructure, if this is an energy source. supports military facilities and is located near weapons manufacturing plants is one thing, but destroying the power structure of civilian facilities, well, i

consider it impractical, but during the attacks of ukrainian drones in occupied sevastopol, the authorities there turn on such powerful means of electronic warfare, that real lights are formed on satellite images, i will now ask you to show us this on the screen, and here are the photos, the images that were taken from space, it was noticed by the analyst damian simons, he actually published the corresponding photos, and according to him, they are turned on only during drone attacks and only in sevastopol, so what does this prove, this rap, such strong rap defense in crimea, and only under the time of the attack by ukrainian drones, and are there any... chances of hitting ships or military facilities of the russian federation through such protection? and the russians, first of all, include such protection

against storm shadow missiles or others that are launched, well scalps, that are launched from the su-24, and they have already understood the tactics the use of the first wave of drones, which are cheap, and which are so popular. and they are always followed by rockets, precisely those rockets that inflict quite powerful damage to the object of the military infrastructure in the occupied crimea. how effective it is, well, it is not yet clear, but these western models, they have double or even triple guidance, and if the gps they will not receive a gps signal, they have other, and systems that they guide. and, if we return to the attack of russia, but on the ukrainian energy structure, the past

winter, well, of course, we can assume the expected effect , to intimidate ukrainians, to discourage them, and to convince them that europe will not help, this winter, what is the main bet, in your opinion, if the attacks on the energy structure continue? well, it is very difficult to say something here, well, some: some things, what will happen exactly , because there are many factors affecting the situation, but it is obvious that the russians will not use the tactics they used that year, they tried to destroy the entire infrastructure energy, and for this they did not have the strength or means, although they managed to destroy 30% of the infrastructure, but they did not succeed in blackout throughout ukraine. therefore, i think that this year they will focus on several areas where they will knock out, knock out the energy structure and thus make

local blackouts, this is what the russians are already talking about and what, well, it is obvious, other tactics, in fact they no longer have left, or massed blows, or blows that are localized, well, there are three areas, depending on how many rockets and thrones do they really have now, uh, heard, mr. mykhailo, thank you for joining the broadcast, mykhailo zhiroho, a military expert was in direct contact with us, thank you, but about the readiness of nuclear energy for winter the other day, they reported to the energy agency, they say, all power units located in the territory controlled by ukraine. scheduled repairs and loaded with fuel to operate at maximum capacity. at the same time, actions will be worked out in case of hitting and de-energizing power units of the nuclear power plant as a result of missile attacks. as

radio svoboda correspondents saw this happening. the use of rockets. personnel to be at work, strengthen control over the operation of the equipment, step three, procedure, a0, checking the voltage on the sb sections, checking the voltage on the sb sections, all sections, voltage,

we are on the simulator where our shift trained and we all watched as the shift was ready to work for power units in the event that there are such rocket attacks on the territory and there is a disruption and how the unit will actually turn into a safe state after such an event, i would very much wanted to tell you that no , there will be no blackouts, but they can happen at any time , we conduct such training for the soba , you understand, that is, we do everything to prevent this from happening, but the wolf is sneaky, he, if he moves in between and will start shooting directly at our nuclear reactors, this is the same gun.

after which a nuclear revolutionary accident will develop, it is the same as using already using nuclear weapons, for all other events, we are ready and in fact, we ensure the absence of these blockades, for today i i can say that our facilities are much better prepared for just such events, protection has actually been done, and physical protection has been improved, as well as means of air defense and anti-drone protection. we now have all of them, it is unique, the parts that go to the pvr 440 reactor, this is where russia's monopoly on we produce unique products at this production, and this

concerns... elements for loading reactors 440, in fact, today only russia and only us can produce it, there are no more manufacturers, recently there was only russia, now in fact we can also produce it, and the price of russia's monopoly, in principle, on the market is the production of fuel for reactors of soviet design. as of now, the energy system of ukraine is working stably, there is enough capacity, deputy minister of energy svitlana grenchuk said on the air of the telethon. at the same time, according to her, ukraine's energy system is more vulnerable this year, as it was not able to fully recover after previous attacks. therefore, ukrainians are urged

to consume wisely. electricity regardless of whether is there a shortage in the system? we work so that our consumers, ukrainians, do not have any restrictions in electricity, in heat, this is our main task, our main work, and we, both with repairs and restoration, have done everything in order to, we do everything in order to so that we can survive this winter much better, we are constantly negotiating with our european partners, like you... literally recently, the network of transmission system operators of the european union confirmed the technical compliance of ukraine's energy system, and we are fully can be considered synchronized with the energy system of the european union, this gives us additional opportunities for stability, stable work of ours.
