komyshyn says that all production capacities are ready, and contracting for next year has already begun. well, the statements here are actually quite optimistic, but when it comes to the production of fpv drones, it is actually worth focusing not on 1 million, but on more than 2 million such drones, in order to minimize the gap with the pace of russian production. and when we talk about long-range drones there up to 1000 km, then here the rates for our... industry need no less than the supply and use of shaheeds of the russian army, here we are talking about indicators from 200 to 400 per month, so such goals must be set before our industry, especially since certain opportunities for the implementation of such tasks exist, and we must also understand that our drones and fpv and others still do not compensate for the lack of shells and artillery to

germans, who critically determine the nature of combat operations on the front line, and we will talk about the specifics of drone production in the second part of our program with specialists, and now then in more detail about individual areas on the front line, first of all, we are talking about the area from kupinsk to bakhmut, the commander of the ground forces oleksandr syrsky literally said the other day that along the entire length of the front... the defense forces have to fight in conditions of superiority of the enemy, both in terms of weapons and in the number of personnel, while against the background of these statements according to the data of british intelligence, that were announced today, it is argued that while russia continues local offensive actions in several sectors, a major russian breakthrough is unlikely, the front is static and ukraine is moving to a more defensive posture along most of the contact line.

and now, when we are talking about the area precisely bakhmut, kupyansk and beyond, we must state that the russian troops are now trying to advance precisely through all these areas in order to reach the borders of the donetsk and luhansk regions, which is recognized by our military leadership, however the advances are actually minimal, but when we're talking about, in particular , the same bahmut map that we 're seeing now, here the enemy is trying to advance just right. in the direction of yar times, putting pressure on our defensive lines there in precisely c in the direction of bohdanivka, khromovo, and ivanivskoye , and by the way, the situation there is quite, let's say, difficult, now we are holding back the enemy primarily at the expense of artillery, although there is a situation when, well, we use combat units at the expense of what we transfer from other areas of the front to this is in the... direction, and now we will return to

the direction of kupianskva krymin, to where one of our mechanized brigades is holding the defense, and now we are joined by the head of the public relations service of the 21st separate mechanized brigade, who has already just long time holds the defense in the kupinsko-lyman direction, and senior lieutenant serhiy dibrov joins us, mr. serhiy, i congratulate you, glad to see and hear, good evening, glory. glory to heroes. thank you for finding the opportunity to join the broadcast, and i would like you to tell in more detail about the situation in the area of ​​responsibility of your brigade, which is now the usual offensive tactics of the enemy, because i understand that you have there on the left flank of sinikivka, on ivanivka is a little further on the right flank, where the enemy is trying to push through, what's the point sector now. happening from the point of view

of the capabilities of your brigade? i must note right away that we are standing somewhere a few tens of kilometers from these places, we are standing in the liman direction, it is many kilometers from us to senkivka, so i can tell you what is happening in the area of ​​responsibility of our brigade, here we continue to repel the enemy's offensive quite intensively, quite active and quite stubbornly he climbs forward, trying to squeeze, squeeze... the ukrainian land further and further and more and more, and as we speak about the fact that now our military leadership was talking about the fact that in view of certain limitations in the supply of ammunition, it is necessary to reformat the situation in one or another direction, as with ammunition in your area, does this affect the specifics of the introduction of defensive actions by your brigade, well i can say that i quite regularly read the reports of our commanders, battalion commanders,

unit commanders, and i constantly read there in the report a line about the lack of ammunition of such, such, such, such, that, well, i think that this is not normal , but this of course usual. the situation in the war , there are never many cartridges , there are never many shells, there is never much ammunition, so there may be more this is relative, we always want to have a lot of them, and what we have is what we use, of course it affects what kind of ammunition we have, these are used more often, but our... artillery works, our drones work, our infantry works , currently there is something to fight and we are fighting, now some brigades began to reformat their companies of strike drones, create battalions instead of companies , is this process taking place in your brigade, if

not, what is the situation with the use of fp-drones, because now, well, quite often you have to hear about the need to increase the number of fpv drones, and it is necessary to make certain efforts and train operators who can effectively take care of this, what is in your brigade? our brigade has a company of strike unmanned aerial systems, the boys and girls are very efficient, they work every day, every day please us with their results, i can say that now the most effective use of these weapons is possible, because the crowding in front of the front edge with the means of the enemy is not enough to resist, and therefore ... their effectiveness is now very, very high, if only as with other ammunition, if we had more of them, then the efficiency would be even greater, that is , it is now very effective, very high-quality, we really need the weapons, which, first of all, you want us to have more of, mr. sergey, in in one of

your comments you said that the enemy in your direction starts using some other drones in addition to the lancets they used before. what kind of unusual drones are we talking about, what is the peculiarity of their use, how do they differ from lancets? well, it’s hard to say what the exact design is, because we usually get it after the explosion , and it ’s quite difficult to analyze the fragments on the front edge, but it seems that they are either home-made or some kind of domestic processing into a shock version, and this in we are felt er, lately the amount of unmanned aerial vehicles working against our fighters, it seems to be increasing, and it is quite possible that in addition to lancets they have learned to do something in a factory or artisanal way, and when we

talk about the fight against enemy lancets there, fp drones , is it contagious , they say, do the units of your brigade have that popular trench reb, which allows... at least in some way to minimize the risks from enemy drones? well, again, this is a very effective and very necessary thing, and anti-drone guns, cooperative rap. and again they are but as always, we want every fighter, or at least every department, every position to be equipped with such a system, and here again we hope for volunteers, we hope for people who know how to do it with their own hands, we hope that there will be some kind of centralized procurement and production, so ... that the next stage of the fight in the air will be the fight of the rap, as always in history there is a fight of swords, shields, a fight of projectiles and armor, it will be the same here, now, against the background of the increase in the efficiency of drones, it will be expected, quite

expected, and it will be necessary to increase the power of radio-electronic warfare in order to compensate for it, and here it is very important for us not to miss, not to lose the initiative precisely on this, this moment on this. direction, mr. serhiy, i would like to ask about the conditions in which the fighters are currently performing combat missions, because the weather has worsened, how long do the fighters usually stay on the front lines, how are replacements carried out, how is this scheme constructed, so that fighters could and ensure the execution of combat tasks and rest, how is it built, eh? each fighter spends a few days on the front line, after this rotation , he spends a few days in the rear, where, let's say, he gets himself in order, rests, learns something, goes through some training and then rotates again, this is the rule, it should be like that and yes, that is how it is, that is, there is no such thing

as people sitting there for months, first of all , because the effectiveness of such a combat job will not be high, er yes, of course, rotation is not dangerous er... quite dangerous, quite a dangerous operation, let's say so, therefore, of course, we do not share how many days they are in order, when exactly the rotation will be, this is closed information, primarily from the point of view of security. fighters, but i repeat once again, rotation is mandatory, a few days at the front, a few days at the rear, this is mandatory for every fighter. and in such conditions , how to ensure the psychological stability of the fighters, taking into account a certain combat fatigue, because it accumulates, are there any recipes, recommendations, solutions in the format of your brigade, which are effective are shown in order to maintain, well , the stable condition of our fighters, capable of carrying out battles for. well, in our brigade there is a service of moral and psychological support, there is a service of psychologists who deal with combat

stress, and finally there is a chaplain who meets the spiritual needs of people, they all work very intensively, and now we have quite fierce battles in our area, and therefore we need , need help, need support, people who are on the front lines, who are returning to the rotation, and i can say that this work is going on, our specialists of moral and psychological support are coping, that is, the fighters are standing and there are reasons to believe that there are some catastrophic problems, which i do not have any big problems, that is, this is combat work, there are stresses, there are difficult situation for any person, there are people who help fighters to cope with this problem, and finally, i would like to ask about your... combat equipment, because one way or another it is unique from the point of view of foreign production there and its combat capabilities, in

do you have leopards and cv90 bmps there, about which you are asked every time, have there been recent combat examples of the use of these models against enemy armored vehicles? i can say that to meet an enemy tank on the battlefield is the dream of our tankers, because the leopard was created at one time precisely to stop, to restrain... the soviet barrage, which europe expected during the ten years of the cold war. it is trained to fight against soviet tanks, but the saturation of armored vehicles with tanks and the effectiveness of intelligence work and other of anti-tank weapons is currently quite high, so tankers complain that there is no way to sleep an enemy tank. tanks work vs. vs. position, vs. infantry, vs. dugouts, yes, but tank duels or infantry fighting vehicle duels on our site. as far as i know, there was no, but the use of infantry fighting vehicles, they are now used to

fight the enemy's manpower? so the infantry fighting vehicle is used for its intended purpose, that is, it is a vehicle for transporting infantrymen, and it is powerful, really powerful, i'm talking about the cv90, quite a powerful combat vehicle with a quality gun, loved by our infantry for its power and accuracy. mr. serhiy, thank you very much for the time you found for our viewers, for the work you do for our country, i would like to remind our viewers that serhiy dibrov, head of the public relations service of the 21st separate of the mechanized brigade, which is currently working against the enemy in the liman direction. and then we will talk about the topic of drones, because we still want to know which ones are real production volumes of these fpv drones that the president talked about. what are the challenges facing our manufacturers, because ensuring scaling is quite a difficult thing,

because on the one hand we talk about the need for more drones on the front line, on the other hand we understand that for now we are collecting these fpv drones by hand, although actually considering the needs of scaling, the question arises whether it is somehow possible to provide a conveyor, a conveyor way of assembling these fpv drones, that is... what are the technical, technological problems now our manufacturers are deciding in order to ensure the maximum number of these products that are needed in the battlefield, especially since we understand that indeed in certain directions drones can perform such surgical work when it comes to destroying the enemy's manpower there, and now more in detail about all the problems related to drones, we will talk with our. the next guest joins us is vadym yunyk, he is the president of the drone manufacturers association,

technological forces of ukraine, as well as the chairman of the supervisory board of the defense and technical company by fred. mr. vadim, i congratulate you, i am glad to see you on the espresso channel. good evening, i'm sure you've heard the president's statement about the number of drones to be produced next year, you've heard the statements of other officials, you know. real possibilities and this number that appeared in 50,000, it first appeared primarily from the side of the manufacturers, and even this number i read with leaning on yours. the message seems to be in the journal, so i would like to hear these figures of 1 million fpv drones, is it enough, is it possible for our enterprises, or is it really the bar of needs is much higher? well, the first question or not, it's very difficult for me to answer, to be honest, because i think it's more of

a military expertise to say whether the plans that they have are sufficient or not, because you know, we have a lot. there are experts who say different numbers, and everyone understands that it's more of a guesswork, so let's put it this way, i'd say more about whether we have the ability to make that many drones, let's say, at the moment no, but i think these are absolutely real numbers, where the company will be able to accelerate to this figure, and the problem is that manufacturers, especially private manufacturers, do not always have a clear understanding from the general staff and from other bodies that order from us, and what exactly is needed it is necessary right now, that is, the fact that the president says such a figure is very good, it says that he is simply hearing a call from the military,

and everything else, the general staff must clearly give ... understanding to manufacturers, what they need to do, but what technical difficulties exist now with the production of fpv drones, what can the state do for this, on the one hand, i understand that the general staff must determine the quantitative indicators, requirements for these drones, and the state must help its private and possibly state companies to make them faster, what is it now is the narrowest. element in the production of drones? yes, i understood the question, well, again, i will say that the first thing is the most important thing, it is a correctly formed order to the manufacturers, but when there should be an understanding of what they want and what quantity, it is first of all, secondly, i i think that the majority of private producers

know how to quickly reconfigure their enterprises for specific needs, that 's it... and here, i think, how can the state help? first of all, this is the reservation of people, because if you plan some of your capabilities, some numbers, then you should, accordingly, hope that you have enough resources for this, and people now, you understand, during the war, this is probably one from the most important resources, and the state must give guarantees that people who work at such strategic enterprises, that they will continue to work and... we can book them here for logistics and all other things, i think most manufacturers have now learned to do such logistics in order not to depend on one supplier, but to spread all their risks in several directions, so i think that they are not as acute as they were, for example, last year, here, but yes they are, but they are already such

problems that we can solve, plus now several companies in... have already started to produce components , for example, there are canvases controllers, motors for our drones will already be produced at ukrainian enterprises, and this is also, well, such a very correct direction of development. mr. vadim, you basically, well, do you know how many enterprises are part of your association of drone manufacturers, in general, how many such enterprises in ukraine can manufacture fpv drones, or do 200 companies have this indicator? correct or is it somewhat exaggerated? well, 200 companies are drones in general, not only in pv, because not all companies produce fivi drones, there are the companies that make drones there are as big as the airplane type, there are those that make drones that are more like those that bomb drones, yes , like the rv17, that is like fpv, that is, there are companies

that make fpv drones, i think this number is smaller , than a hundred such companies, that is , i think that really somewhere... maybe there are 60 companies that make drones, and they are different, there are those that make several thousand a month, there are companies that can produce tens of thousands of drones per month there, maybe more, and those companies that manufacture tens of thousands of drones per month and more, they use, conventionally speaking, manual assembly of drones, is it possible to automate these processes there on a conveyor belt or robotic lines? actually still a process to be mastered? well, in fact, we have several companies, which i say are a large number and there are already automated lines, the presence of people. in any way, because a person simply checks input control, output control, but we have very powerful companies that know how to do exactly this with lines, that is, these companies are already in ukraine

on the robotic lines they also assemble the pods , so this is very cool, and by the way , is the unification of these designs necessary to ensure the simplification of production, because in our company each company makes a certain unique product that is somehow not similar to the other, but then the military has to... each time decide this direction, how exactly to use this drone, is unification necessary? actually, you know, a very difficult question, because sometimes it happens that, for example, a company says that they have a very good the design of the drone, but when you talk to some military personnel, they say that there are many shortcomings, and therefore, for example, if we take such a design as a basic one, say, let's do it, that is, we can do it right away... so in the base we can there are some shortcomings to be taken into account, i think, you know, as always in the market, it's just that competition is healthy, good competition, it leads to

the fact that what works, it will remain, and what does not work, it will go somewhere in history, so i think at this point you can just look at those drones that they are in demand, and it is possible to make some kind of unification and replicate them on the base, but first of all it is necessary that they all go through the front and receive some very high-quality feedback from the front, whether it just works or not, mr. vadim, thank you very much for your professional explanations, for the time you found for our broadcast, i will remind our viewers that it was vadym yunyk, president of the association of drone manufacturers, technological forces of ukraine. these were the main results of the day, and more international and economic news further on vasyl zema's big broadcast, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. good evening, we are from

ukraine. thank you very much, serhii zgurts, thank you to his guests, these were the military results of the day, the second hour of the great thero is ahead, a lot of interesting and important things await you, the world about ukraine with yuri fizer, money during the war with oleksandr morshchivka. also today there will be cultural news from ilyena chechenina, and of course, the weather from natalka diden. but now i will tell you in detail about the most important news of the state, i will also have inclusion live with our correspondent, but from which event you will learn a little later. in the temporarily occupied crimea, according to information from a number of telegram channels, explosions occurred on the territory of the center of long-range space communication of the air and space forces of the russian federation. it is reported that an alleged storm shadow missile landed in the center of the village of vitene of saksky district at 5 am, as a result of which one unit of military equipment was damaged. there are no casualties, he also writes. that in the morning a drone struck the border post of the fsb near alushta, one man was injured, equipment and a satellite antenna were damaged . from now on, the skies of the kherson region will become

safer, said the head of the regional military administration oleksandr prokudin, according to whom the number of mobile fire groups that will destroy russian drones and missiles will be increased. today , 21 new off-road vehicles were handed over, the cars were received by units of territorial defense under border detachment and national guard. the pickups were equipped with tablets, binoculars, thermal imagers, charging stations, and lasers directions and powerful searchlights. this will help soldiers detect and land, deliberately, as they say, russian aerial targets, prokudin added. and the ukrainian parliament has exempted from value-added tax and customs duties when importing radio-electronic warfare complexes and plates for body armor into ukraine - the people's republic reported. mp of ukraine yaroslav zheleznyak. on the basis and in general, 323 people's elected representatives cast their votes. taxation and customs duties will not apply to defense goods

received by law enforcement bodies of the ministry of defense, the armed forces of ukraine, the security and defense forces, the norms will apply until the end of martial law. a complete package of services for exemption from military service the state bureau of investigation in zaporozhye stole an evasion scheme. from mobilization. according to the investigation, the scheme was organized by the head of the district military committee and three of his subordinates. they registered men in the right area of ​​the city, put them on the register and provided falsified medical documents to pass the military medical commission, and then they were released from military service. such a scheme over 300 people have used it in two years. the approximate cost of the service was 2-3 thousand us dollars per person. the employees of the state security bureau conducted searches at the places of residence and work of officials of the district shopping center and sp. at present, investigative actions are continuing, the full circle of involved persons is being established.

people, well, these people earned good money, i hope that all the money will be transferred to the state budget. for the first time in three weeks , russian terrorists launched an underwater missile carrier into the black sea, on board it can be up to four caliber missiles, reported in the operational command south. in total , the enemy has five ships on combat duty in the black sea and one in azov. the level of missile danger is currently elevated. president volodymyr zlenskyi said yesterday that one million fpv drones will be produced in a year. well , now we have an explanation: ukraine intends to produce 1 million of these drones in 2024, according to oleksandr kamyshin, minister of strategic industries. in december, ukraine already produced more than 50,000 kamikaze drones. in addition, it is ongoing production of strike drones, and has promised to assemble more than 10,000 medium-range strike drones and more than 1,000 long-range, long-range drones next year.

production capabilities are already ready the day before the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi said during a press conference that ukraine will produce a million drones in 2024. the sviatoshyn district court of kyiv remanded judge oleksiy tandyr, who is accused of a fatal road accident while under the influence of alcohol, in custody until february 17. the court also seized the land plot and tandyr's money in his bank account. and besides, he limited journalists' access to the meetings when he showed them. will give the military. in may, judges charged tandyr with suspicion of committing a traffic accident in which a national guardsman died at a checkpoint. tandyr denied that he drank alcohol while driving. well, today there was also information that tandyr asked to be transferred to the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine in exchange for the punishment he might face. well, i understand that so far the answer to his request is negative. shared
