that it is more and more difficult to do, we added almost 3,000, but yesterday, yesterday, as of for this hour it was more, let 's not slow down and join the qr code, you see, and then we will also show you the card number separately, and we already have sergey sidorin, mr. sergey, good morning, good morning, studio, good morning, dear viewers, tell me where you are, if possible... can you also tell me what your situation is, our unit, the fourth brigade of operational assignment is in the bakhmet direction, which means that the russian invaders actively started offensive actions in this direction back in july in the 22nd year, no reduce the pace, continue the offensive, active actions are now taking place in the area of ​​the village of klishchiivka zaklishchiiv. heights, the enemy

has traditionally reported to himself about the capture of these heights, but our defense forces continue to hold them and repel attacks. also , the enemy's active actions are taking place in the area of ​​the settlements of bohdanivka khromov, so the enemy's forces are also not successful in these directions. now, what is the situation in general, to what extent is the enemy seizing the initiative, is it possible to say so? the enemy's activity begins with... a move of his fresh forces, the enemy is actively forming reserves in the rear, aligning them on training grounds, with the appearance of such units near the battle line, accordingly, the next stage is the beginning of assault operations in

one or another area, that is, a massive offensive of the enemy on some area of ​​the front there is no language yet, he... with bites, with many bites, he is trying to carry out offensive actions locally in order to capture some settlements, key heights, and then report in his mass media about significant successes in his special military operation, to what extent is the enemy currently replenishing new equipment, or does it feel that the russian military-industrial complex is working well? the russian military-industrial complex has practically moved to the rails of martial law, respectively, three changes, ammunition, military equipment, various types of weapons are produced, they have no problems with mobilization resources,

they are formed, pulled up to the front line, here one, two, maybe three years. units of the z chiv storm, which are analogous to the penal battalions of the times during the second world war, during the training ground and reconciliation, the mobilized people of the russian federation washed the cities, that is, they went there confident that they would win, kill the ukrainians, so to speak, capture new territories, but as a rule, in all areas of the front, they come into contact with units of the defense forces, first.. . their assault units are destroyed, z chiv, then their mobilized ones are destroyed, the already moody units at this time are significantly reduced and then after the destruction or demoralization of their mobilized members,

accordingly, more professional units, contractors, special units, which are then destroyed, accordingly, these assault actions... fresh forces are accompanied by a significant amount of artillery, since they came after coordination, they are equipped practically, and have a large amount of ammunition, and accordingly they are not counted among infrastructure, or the presence of a civilian population in this direction, they simply erase its settlements from the face of the earth , they simply try to capture the territory and claim it for their own. ganda that they planted something, but it is also characteristic that it can be noticed, they first report in their mass media that they captured the territory, celebrate the victory,

accordingly, their military tries to adjust all this, so to speak, to the realities of their propaganda and direct it. .. their personnel, for meat assaults, accordingly suffer corresponding losses, we successfully repulse them. well, thank you very much, mr. colonel, colonel serhiy sidorin, battalion commander of the tactical group of the fourth operational brigade of the national guard of ukraine was in touch with us. thank you for taking the time to talk and talk about the situation in your area of ​​the front. thank you dear friends, we are going to take a break, then we will return and continue to analyze the situation at... our serhiy sgurets, military expert, director of the defense express company, will be at the front, and we will ask about everything that is happening at the front. if you have any questions for our military expert, dear mr. serhiy from gurets, a really cool expert, you can also

through our defenses, the commander of the ground forces oleksandr syrskyi spoke about this yesterday, by the way, in parallel, i will say that today is precisely the day of the ground forces, precisely the ground forces today bear the main burden of infantry combat operations with the enemy, so that returning to the front line, the merchant of the crimean matchmaker, that is, the enemy is trying to move there... in the direction of senkivka, this is a long time, without much success, but there, additional units are being transferred in order to in order to ensure promotion for purchase. kupinsky is nodal, but of course this , in my opinion, is a secondary direction of the enemy's actions, the main emphasis of the enemy is precisely on actions related to securing the encirclement of avdiyivka and intensifying actions in relation to bakhmut, especially in its western parts, where this section from

bohdanivka and ivanovsk chromov, the enemy there has... no tactical successes that potentially pose threats to the advance during the yar period, and the yar period is an important part of the front that is on the rise, and actually just the enemy, as i see it, is considering the possibility of priority actions precisely in advancing around bakhmut, precisely, well, from bakhmut in the direction of the yaru river along those settlements that i said earlier, our units are restraining the enemy's advance, but... again, it is significant the number of reserves in this area, and in particular the landing units there, the 200 special purpose brigade and so on, that is, now the enemy is trying to advance in this area of ​​the front, avdiivka, activation almost along the entire perimeter, that is, in fact, it is possible to talk about the fact that the third wave , which was expected there, has already been happening for the last two days extremely powerfully, a couple of days ago

there was no aviation, now there is aviation, artillery, and attempts to ensure... the advance of the horde wants to ensure the advance there from the north and from the south, that is, attacks in the direction of berdychi, this is in the north, in the south , these are attacks in the direction of the north, to conceptually ensure the convergence of these wedges and ensure the encirclement of our group, this is how it looks on the map, on the very front line around avdiyivka along the entire perimeter goes in heavy combat operations and... the enemy's advance is restrained, the enemy has significant losses , but this section remains extremely difficult, and the activation around maryinka, novomykhaivka, ugledar, this section of the front is also now beginning to gain importance, we see that the enemy directed advance on the rakhov coal mine, leveling the front line, withdrawing our forces from there, so that we could not

control the transport hub there with wave control fire, so that in fact this entire eastern, south-eastern section of the front is extremely difficult now and it is even more difficult than it was last week. as a matter of fact, mr. serhiy, who just spoke with colonel sidorin from the fourth brigade of the national guard of ivinsk, noted that the enemy has the impression that there are no problems with shells, with new equipment and with mobilization, and precisely because of this they can regularly create this pressure on .. our positions, by the way, well, there is one of the proofs of this, but recently we saw on video, it appeared that somewhere in russia t-72s are being transported by rail, modernized, already with those anti-drone grilles welded on at the factory, and it is obvious that it is claimed that this production of the 22nd year is already tanks, that is

, this is one of the evidences that the russian military-industrial complex is working at full capacity. power, we can see this video now, some ba, so show the video , which most likely demonstrates its popularity in russia, so to speak, on one side we see bintley, and on the other side there is some echelon that drags t72b3, we do not know the number of these t72 b3, the russians are really increasing the production of weapons technology, by the way, today the president of ukraine, when he spoke before the national university of defense. the united states, the president of ukraine, he says that russia is indeed increasing the production of weapons, but the armed forces are directed to prevent the enemy from entering all areas of the front, and in this appeal to uh, the american military, i think that the right point of entry, because relatively speaking, the american

military themselves understand how difficult it is to restrain the enemy without a sufficient number of supplies, equipment and such. on the other hand, i think that precisely these, appeals and discussions in the environment of the usa are actually on us benefit in view of the pressure on and on the american political elites. by the way, president zelensky also met with representatives of companies involved in the production of weapons in the united states, there is a video published on president zelensky's telegram channel, in particular from this meeting. in your opinion. will it really succeed, is it possible for this to quickly deploy a large, serious production of weapons, the necessary ammunition, as well as the equipment itself. in ukraine in unoccupied or relatively safe territories, well, i would say so regarding the intensification of cooperation with american companies, this is the

third such active attempt. we will recall that in september we had a forum of defense industries in kyiv, where 250 companies and a large part of representatives of american companies were present. on december 6-7, a conference on arms issues was held in washington, where there were 350 representatives of american...ukrainian companies, where prospects for cooperation were discussed, and now the president once again, during a working visit to washington, is meeting with the heads of leading american companies. it says that the ukrainian side is extremely interested in a real intensification of actions, because according to the results of the first forum and the second there were many memoranda, but there were few contracts, that is, relatively speaking, the transition to practicality. well, now is an extremely important task , from practical solutions, what we know is that assistance to ukraine in the repair

of american weapons, which are supplied to ukraine by the forces of ukrainian enterprises, activation of joint projects in the same direction, when ex-soviet platforms receive american missiles and the modernization of these pepo systems of the kub' type is underway. by american missiles, this is already happening there at a rate of almost five complexes per month, this is quite a large indicator, but when we talk about the issue of ammunition, artillery and such, the situation here so far looks more complicated, although zelenskyi says that it is necessary to create such a defense-industrial hub on the territory of ukraine and develop areas related to ammunition, artillery, and missile weapons in ukraine, therefore that... we have both the needs and the necessary experience, i still don't know the reaction of powerful american companies to such calls , i think that here we have to go through contracts,

because so far we say that we have needs, but we don't we announce tenders and are not yet ready to extend contracts for foreign companies, so relatively speaking, the production of ammunition faces systemic problems for all manufacturers, because now , relatively speaking, the demand has increased, there is not enough. components for the manufacture of ammunition, when we are talking there about explosives , and gunpowder for various purposes, and such , and metals used in ammunition, now it has become a global problem, because the demand for it, well, i repeat, is cardinal, so how can we quickly implement it on the territory of ukraine, i think that it is unlikely to work quickly on such powerful, long-term projects, but projects that affect the effectiveness of the ukrainian army, in particular, the repair of equipment and so on, well... it is also important that at the first stage, well , to strengthen the defense capability of the ukrainian army, the way to create powerful other weapons systems is a year or two, at least, the chief

of the general staff of the czech republic, karl jacka, the general said that in fact the west is to blame for the fact that the counteroffensive has failed in ukraine now, russia is trying to develop its offensive, because it was very inadequate help. and actually from the very beginning we knew that the budgets of russia, for example, the european union and the united states, japan, australia and so on, combined, are somewhat incomparable, but you say that there is a problem now with gunpowder, with the production of projectiles, but during after world war ii, we saw countries scale production hundreds of times, very quickly. we can even see, to put it bluntly, the russian federation's production of projectiles. why is this such an insurmountable problem now and before our partners, before

ukraine, including, which is vitally important to scale it. well, indeed, when we talk about the scaling of production, there were different conditions at different historical stages, and what happened during the second world war, unfortunately, does not carry over to the current stage. ago that, strangely enough, the market mechanisms under which the american defense industry and the european defense industry currently exist create certain limitations, because in fact, when they are told that they need to increase the production of missiles, they look at it through the prism of what will be profit, is it worth investing now, conditionally speaking, in a significant expansion, if, in particular, in a year or two, there will be no demand for these ammunition, this is exactly a discussion between... the political power of the european union, for example, and by european, american, european companies, it took, well, several months, or less, and now this discussion continues, which, frankly, does not allow...

to rebuild the rails of the european defense industry on a military basis, and still europeans believe that this war will bypass them, and what they are doing is quite enough for the needs that exist today, but de facto now people who are related to military affairs in more detail are trying to convey a different reality, and just slowly this pace is changing, but in any case on the end of the 24th year... according to optimistic indicators, the europeans and the americans together will produce about 200,000 munitions of 155 mm caliber, and this is, in principle, equal to the pace that the russian federation has today, which generally produces about a year within the limits of the production rate of ammunition up to

1.7 million. ammunition per year, they did not ensure a multiple increase in ammunition, but the russians plan for next year to increase the production of ammunition by a third, that is, in fact, to reach from od 1.7 million to 2 million munitions, so that challenge is really there for all manufacturers given what the russian federation is doing, and in any case the first half of next year is going to be extremely difficult given that in certain areas munitions... well , there will be a certain risk of undersupply, mr. sergey, they will also ask what is now being noted that the russians began to use drones on the front in such an industrial, industrial quantity, this is a serious problem, did russia manage to do it, could it do it without china's help or china not makes large-scale, clandestine deliveries of these

drones here. or components in your opinion , why, when we talk about drones, there are several components, i will say, when we talk about fpv drones, now both ukraine and russia are trying to increase production, using chinese components to assemble these fpv drones , and now we know that, relatively speaking, now there are even structural changes in the ukrainian army, there we see that those companies... of unmanned attack drones are already in battalions, that is, they are increasing there three times, which means that on the one hand the understanding of this priority, on the other hand , the need for trained personnel is increasing in order to use a greater number of means of impression in the form of fpv drones. there were reports that we use 50,000 fvons per month there, the enemy has six times more. i did not find any confirmation other than one.

forbes publication, which has now become an assessment of what the russians have, well, such an advantage in the production of drones, but in any case , we understand that when we communicate with our military personnel on the front line, they really say that the enemy has an increasing number of snipers, an increasing number of night drones, and we have to react to it in the same way, regarding production, indeed for both russia and ukraine, i repeat, the source of components remains china, and here... the process is to develop our own components together with chinese components, and there are even nuances that are already related to the economic characteristics of ukraine, the purchase of drones that are made of chinese components looks cheaper when ukrainian companies say that we made all the components ourselves, but it is more expensive, so there is a certain bias towards such purchases, because it costs more, although it is based on domestic components, so i think there are also

challenges that need to be faced here. .. let's honor with a moment of silence the memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war that was unleashed by russia.
