to date, the school has trained more than 400 students, and almost all of them use their skills and knowledge somewhere on the front. mr. andriy, what areas, relatively speaking, are these copters, are these wings or drones, which areas does your school cover? direction one is multi-rotor systems - these are copters, because this is a classic technique. it's accessible to almost anyone, it's available for purchase by volunteers or individuals, and the whole course is built in such a way that it covers everyone's knowledge from scratch to piloting classic, extreme piloting in an emergency situation and everything else, there are also several e-classes related to the wing, other modifications. unmanned aerial vehicles

wing or first person view models, these are fpv drones, so called, and there is also training on the independent construction of drones, if there are those who wish, and necessarily mandatory use in difficult radio-physical conditions, pilot behavior in combat conditions. andriy, you must have heard part of our conversation with the previous guest, it was denys chernichenko from the company. devirira, they have their own school center in the company itself, and they talk about the fact that they have a certain certificate for their graduates, which allows them to then, as i understood, receive a military accounting specialty, which makes it much easier for this person to find a place in the staff structure there, units in the armed forces forces, how do you solve this issue, the fact is that the equipment that vyko manufactures and subsequently sends to the armed forces is a company, it is an army.

equipment, so they have the right and they provide a certificate for use and piloting this particular equipment. the multirotors that i teach are classic, they are a household thing, so to speak, and certification or licensing in ukraine today, according to this equipment does not exist, therefore, but thanks to the majority of its... characteristics, this equipment , these quadcopters, they are very actively used in aerial reconnaissance, eh then, how is education structured in your school, how long does it usually take to acquire these skills to work on a copter and how is this process financed, because it was the story that for some time the ministry of digital transformation provided certain schools with finances. for the training of operators,

then this initiative was stopped, how did you build this temporal and financial basis for the activity of your school? in terms of time, it takes about 15 days, i teach theory for about 4-5 days, and then practical classes, practical classes outside the city for about 10-12 days, four hours each day. from the financing plan and this is a private school, it is financed by uh, partly from those civilians, who come to study, it ’s not free , no one takes military money, if someone wants to have the opportunity to buy a battery or a battery, some recording parts, propellers or something else, it’s me, it’s it, it’s me, it’s me i accept financing from the side.

there is no state or from any other side , my friends, my partners from the united states still finance my school a little, if i have such a need, in general, the financing is from private individuals who privately come to study and then they plan to use their knowledge and skills not only in a military case, but also in a civilian one. mr. andrii, what are the dynamics with the recruitment now? cadets compared there with last year and at the beginning of your school's work and now the quantitative indicators are increasing, decreasing, what is happening? decreases, much decreases, today, there is such a trend, there are a lot of civilians, but they are from other cities, i cannot leave the city of kyiv, because i will not be able to organize training in other cities, this is, firstly,

secondly, there are a lot of military personnel, if in that year the military personnel had the opportunity to pass and study on their own, now there are a lot of military personnel who are at their positions or somewhere on leave. or somewhere in a hospital, and they do not have the physical opportunity to come to me, i will remind you, that is, the trend has shifted somewhere to other cities, and not people, unfortunately, do not have the opportunity to come to study in the city of kyiv, somehow, but what does your experience, there are now many of these diy copters to deal with out there tasks from the point of view in the format of fpv drones, and the question arises that there are many different designs that, in my opinion, make it difficult to prepare, or am i wrong, or are there certain , let's say, such universal directions that in any case allow there , well, to master the basic skills, in order to become an effective fp drone operator, i will tell you this, controlling an fpv drone is very difficult,

extremely difficult, because this is a modification of a multi-rotor system, it was not prepared for general control as such, it is racing drones are toys, high-performance fast ones it was such a high-tech toy, to prepare a fighter, a fighter, it takes a lot of time first, it's about 200 hours in a simulator, then to break about three or five drones so that a person can do something, it's firstly, secondly, regarding the modification, in general, i see only one such ... trend is not very good, a lot of people try to assemble by themselves, but they do not understand a little such engineering and electronic things, such as engine power, size and characteristics of the same propellers, i had such a funny situation, when a friend called, he said: "oh, i

bought a whole box there, a whole box of motors, come, look, please, i came, these motors, the motors are really cheap, but they don't fit anywhere at all, because they are 6 in instead of 22, and i get a lot of calls from zero, the guys complain that these drones were sent to them, but they can’t even stand themselves for three minutes, this is such a trend, according to fpv, that is, we need to talk about a certain unification and about packaging, some basic configuration, basic standards, but when i i spoke with volunteers who intended... to order from me there, because i can also collect it, the final price was repulsive, very repulsive, even the difference of uah 2-300, but my attempts to explain this are a 2.5 watt video transmitter it will work better in the conditions of rep, they were somehow not

convinced, they had, they intended to buy somewhere much better for the price, but not for the characteristics, this is another trend. independently or with specialists, a certain configuration or technical conditions, the video transmitter is such, the motors are such, the load capacity there is at least 3 kg, for example, somehow, when you said that it takes 200 hours to train

an fpv drone operator, 200 hours is how long the simulator takes, man, i'll tell you in this case it doesn't last more than an hour or two behind the monitor, it's very important the brain will effectively perceive information or process it for about the first half hour, then it will be very bad, and then, relatively speaking, this means that the operators will actually be sent to the battlefield over there, well, in particular, there in a certain, well , in a day, in a day, they can perform there maximum 5-10 operations, will this and that be too difficult for this will be further, but the first three, i think so, the first three, well, maybe five, it depends. of a person from his vestibular apparatus, he will perform three to five, then there will be a very large number of errors, it does not depend on him, somehow, huh, and when the question is raised about the need to increase

the number of fpv drone operators, then this means , that this should be a general national task, because we see that studying for a long time affects the characteristics of a person, and then, if we... will have a lot of their semi-drones, after all , we will lag behind, as i see from the training of operators, eh, we are already behind, we will lag behind, i will tell you this, i have such certain insider information, i will not ... give it as one hundred percent, but what i know, what i hear from scratch, well, it is 10-15% of the maximum successful hits, accurately, maybe 20 of this amount, that is, training fpv pilots of this particular configuration should be done in advance , and it takes about a month or two effectively, i don’t see any other, other way, well, if, for example, your the school was tasked with expanding the number of fpv drone operators with some

support, how many then what actions would you take to ensure the training of operators in this field? well, first of all, it requires at least 10 computers of a certain configuration and power, these are 10 remote controls that will be connected and financing in terms of purchasing components and self- assembly of fpv for further training. they will be broken, and it's just that funding is constantly needed, and then, relatively speaking, what was the throughput then your school, if there were 10 computers, how many could there be, relatively speaking , to produce drone operators in a certain time, let's say in a month, maybe 25-30 operators, maybe 50, but it will be very difficult, and now how much do you release against the background of the recession and interest in coming to kyiv to... 25-30 relative to 150 per month, relative to

100-150 in that year, for example, well, somehow such a ratio, mr. andriy, well, thank you very much for the inclusion, for these explanations , because we see that there are certain nuances and problems with preparation operators, we see that this is a process that requires serious attention from the state, and a serious attitude from the organizers of this process. very, i want to say very important things about pv operators, it is very unfortunate, but these are facts from him it is not impossible to somehow turn away or leave, out of 100 potential cadets, even if they are studied, will work effectively, will be able to work 10, well 20, well, a maximum of 30%, because it depends a lot on the vestibular apparatus of a person, these are the characteristics of each person, they... very personal and individual , that is, this is another nuance that is very important, it must be taken into account, if a person cannot, then

he is not needed, he is not required to do this, because the number of effective sorties and effective hits will be very small, and the loss of equipment - this is also money. mr. andriy, thank you very much for these explanations, for the inclusion , and i would like to remind our viewers that the founder and head of the uav quadcopter pilot center was on the klanspresso broadcast. the blue sky of andria with the call sign synoptyk. these are the realities associated with the training of operators for wing-type drones, for quadcopters, for fpv drones. we see that, in principle, there is the potential of the developers themselves, but the increase in the number of operators requires a certain reformatting of training, because we see that the state centers cope with it, but with a smaller number than they do. private companies, and private companies, as we can see, now have certain financial limitations

in order to raise this direction, so i think that the conclusions should be drawn in order that in addition to the number of drones that are increasing, there was a corresponding number of trained operators who can effectively use these drones in combat against our enemy. these were the conclusions from this program, stay tuned to the espresso channel. according to the results of november, the espresso tv channel ranks first among information broadcasting channels. for the eighth month in a row, we are the first. greetings, it's news time on the tv channel. this november we turned 10 years old. we have updated the design and sound. we continue the saturday political club, khrystyna yatskiv and vitaly portnikov. unchangeable our values ​​and ukrainian point of view remain. stay tuned for espresso updates and thank you for your trust. every day, every hour. every minute we receive a large amount of information. the most anticipated event of the year, which is actually

happening on the front. what are the losses of personnel and equipment on the battlefield? how the international community evaluates our successes and what moscow is lying about. from the stream of news coming from all over the world, we single out the most important ones. the world is closely watching whether there will be weapons for ukraine and what kind, and what the russian occupiers are whispering about behind the scenes... news, summaries of the week - this is an overview of only important events, significant, reliable events, it is analytics, fact-checking, expert comments, about this and much more in today's issue. about important things in simple language, accessible to all viewers. greetings, iryna koval is in the studio, and these are the results of the week on the espresso tv channel. news, summaries of the week, every saturday at 21:00 on espresso.

we are strong, because it is not the first time that we live and survive in such bad conditions, how bad it can be, well, let's now

simulate several variations that i sure, you are in the center of yours. he was also modeled, if you think about how bad it can be in general, then it is worth looking at what percentage of our budget is provided by the efforts of our partners, then it is exactly half, because in our country currently 50, approximately 50, 50% we provide expenses independently, and the other 50 is what... our partners are helping us today, as we know that today we have to finance defense costs on our own, and what our partners give us, we use to provide social spending, security health, education and all other similar expenses. today, why is it so important for us to get help, for example, directly from

the united states, because the americans help us with weapons, they give us ammunition, a lot. military equipment , for example, europe gives us a lot of financial resources, why is it important to talk about the national bank here, because the national bank receives funds in order to replenish its gold and currency reserves, which are then spent to support the stability of the hryvnia, and therefore it is important to receive this , if we suddenly if we do not receive these funds, then the hryvnia exchange rate may also change. will change and there may be problems with the financing of various expenses , except for defense, but here is more detail, mr. oleksandr, but do you remember a few weeks ago, the head of the tax and customs committee of the economic committee, that's what mrs. podlasa said, well, in january there may

already be a threat to the payment of pensions and other social benefits, so... we imagine that we do not have funds from our partners, the national bank comes out with the sale of currency for the amount needed to pay off all social obligations of the state to citizens for january, if so, what is the amount? does it not pay out, in principle , does it not work out, does it not pay out, if it does work out and does it out, then tell me what is the amount, how much do we need for january, so that all pensions, the entire social welfare system will be financed? we know that... the annual shortfall in the budget is approximately 40 billion dollars, so if it is for one month, then it is 1/12 of this amount, it is approximately 3-4 billion, it will be like this, we still remember at the beginning, at the beginning of a full-scale war

the finance minister has often said that we are short of four to six billion to cover. per month, so it will be approximately like this, well, look, if we talk about numbers, i constantly ask this question, well, we have more than 3 trillion hryvnias in expenses, more precisely in the 24th year, 1.8 are planned to attract revenues and fees from there and that's all, but in fact the rest will have to be attracted from partners and from the domestic market, the lion's share goes... it's 1.7 trillion for defense, that is, 1.8 - 1.7 = 0.1, so we have a trillion left , and other money, if between, if the international partners are not... well, somehow it can be survived, we sell bonds there, we come out with the sale, well, there will be no collapse here, there will be a situation

where we will need to balance between spending on defense and all other costs, that is, we are here from below, if this happens, well , it is very important to say in advance that this is a very unlikely scenario, that we suddenly have to... help us not to scare our listeners in the sense that we, well, that already in january it may be that they do not help us, but well, if so, unfortunately, if that happens, we'll have to cut defense spending, try to support the economy, which will be very, very unpleasant, but again, that's a very pessimistic scenario that i'm sure we can avoid. can you explain what is the phenomenon of this 3-4% growth of the economy, before the start of the full-scale invasion, our

economy grew no more than 3-4% every year. then it was explained by those yaressko warrants, well, like, if it grows more, we will have to pay more. now, well, it is explained by a full-scale war. exclusively in these explanations lie where. well, because somehow it is strange, before the start of a full-scale war , the growth there was 3% plus something, during a full-scale war the growth was 3% plus something, there is a big difference between that and the current growth in that the economy of ukraine fell very much in 2022, it decreased by about 30%. today, we have pushed off the bottom and... we are starting to grow only , well, at least because the situation with the front has relatively stabilized, today , thanks to our defenders, ukrainians can

at least somehow plan their economic life, and that's why the latter is happening, it 's just today a recovery from the hole we fell into in 22 to some more or less good indicator in... in terms of the economy now, so you can't absolutely compare the growth that is now with the fact that at that time ukraine was, there were already occupied territories, there was crimea, there was donbas, starting from the 14th year, but at least there were not the security risks that exist now, today we know that any at any moment it can, for example, take off... it could also write down daggers throughout the territory of ukraine, literally, because that is why business in ukraine has these risks at any point, be it in transcarpathia, be it in the kharkiv region or any other, but

thanks to our, again, defenders, we see , that people can return to normal life in many areas, restore business and thanks to this the economy has the opportunity to grow, i will clarify the only thing, that is, when we say, for example, about these 3%, yes, we are talking exclusively in compared with 2022, about growth, and if, well, but it can't be objective, as far as i understand, because we can't talk about a comparison with a period, for example, with any period before 2014, if i understand correctly, well, this is about an indicator of real gdp, this is a comparison with the previous year. in terms of volumes of production, but this happens in prices of certain certain stable prices, so that we, no,

so that this growth indicator is not too much increased by ee for inflation, that is, we take some certain, certain level in the past and compare the amount of goods. produced for year, so yes, in the 23rd year we are compared with the 22nd, however, we do not take into account that in our country, for example, prices grew by 20% in the 22nd year, now by 5%, and we take the number of produced goods in order to objectively show that the economy was growing. it's a question that remains for us at the end, we traditionally look at what's there , at the exchange rate, at fuel prices, at the prices of products, goods, services and utilities, right? and

again, the actual state of ukraine's population is greater, as we become richer or poorer we are becoming, based on what the national bank predicts, plus what may actually happen, can you tell us the potential status on all these points, regarding prices, then we know that even us... admits, today there are two factors , which restrain inflation, restrain the growth of prices for consumers, this is, firstly, that today we have a fixed price for utilities for the population, and secondly, the prices of agricultural products, they are not growing as fast as they were growing before, we see , which is due to, not due to, but due to the fact that today the protons are blocked

today it does not work the way the grain corridor through the black sea used to work. our domestic market in ukraine is oversaturated with products , food products, so thanks to the fact that there are many offers, prices do not rise so much, and because of this , consumer inflation has decreased to 5% today, although a year ago these indicators were much higher . in the region of 20, we will see how it will be in the 24th year. the national bank predicts that inflation will be higher, but here everything will depend on the exchange rate of the hryvnia against the dollar, if we have funds with which it is possible, with which the national bank can support the course, if we receive income from the european union and the united states for this, then everything will be fine with prices, it is possible that there will be inflation. mr. oleksandr,

thank you for these clarifications. oleksandr chupak, head of economic programs of the analytical center of the ukrainian studio of strategic studies. mykyta mykhalov and serhii chernyshov were just with us. the marathon continues, further, news with vera svertlyk. let's see chevorony that brings victory closer, dear dad, thank you to you, thank you, my brother, thank you, sergeant aunt valya, thank you very, very much, thank you for protecting me, my mother and our dog, our home, our country, and i am asking you very much. protect
