greetings, this is svoboda live on radio svoboda. we have already come to the snake itself. the following shots may shock you. news from the scene. live drone attacks, kamikaze. political analytics. objectively and meaningfully. there is no political season. exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front. svobodalai, frankly and impartially. you draw your own conclusions. continuing our program on war and weapons, we will continue to talk about a project that is somewhat unique because we have a significant number of of unmanned aerial vehicles used in the armed forces, there are within 70 different types

and models, there are strike, reconnaissance drones, sub-strike drones, there is a certain number of different munitions that are created for the specifics of each type, but here is the team that we will now talk about further , it was based on its own concept of using strike drones, and that's how an unmanned strike complex called bekfiire was born, and now we are joined by artem shcherbakivskyi, he is a uav operator of a unified detachment from liptech. and actually one of the members of this team, which created this rather interesting complex. mr. artem, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. congratulations. i would like you to tell our viewers a little more about what backfair is, because they probably forgot something. we talked with you about six months ago, and i think during that time, maybe the complex has changed, but i would like you to tell such general things so that our viewers would be at ease.

what will we talk about next, but of course it has changed a little, we are not standing still, we are constantly improving, backfire is a drone aircraft type, i.e. a plane approximately 3 by 2 m to understand the dimensions, it now flies at a distance of a little more than 50 km in one direction, and carries. the useful load is already 5.5 kg, six months ago it was 3.8 to 4 kg, now it is 5.5, in principle, the uniqueness, well, we did not invent anything beyond, beyond our capabilities, so to speak, we simply combined, solutions and

packed them into a very stable body, fluid in plan like an airplane, that's why it turns out to be effective for us, there are already more, i think, for today, at this point, it's probably close 200 sorties, the plane works for... constantly, well, it is not alone, of course, sometimes the enemy shoots down, well, any weapon can be destroyed, our plane is the same, sometimes it is shot down, but it is much more difficult, for example, it is shot down , the enemy cannot suppress it with radio-electronic warfare, it is also quite problematic to shoot it down with some kind of missile, because in... it

has no heat trace, for example, and it is usually shot down with a large caliber, these are zushki, or - to the pvt, for example, too, well, that is, you , you are not talking about the main nuance of the complex in fact, that it ensures the destruction of the enemy by the ammunition that is dropped from this complex, but it goes according to the programmed coordinates and... the enemy rap complexes simply cannot suppress it, this is the main feature of your development , as i understand it, yes, because there is nothing there suffocate , he flew, he has a mission, he bombed back and returned, eh, from the latest interesting videos, which also began to circulate on enemy channels, and this is when our plane, so to speak, makes a cluster bombing, it is er... close

18, at that point we dropped 18 vogs, a lot a spectacular video on... light unarmored vehicles, that is, on cars, and it was in depth, in enemy depth, so to speak, here i will interrupt you a little, but we had a little argument about this video on the eve of our program, so that there are literally 6 seconds where cluster munitions are unloaded, but now we have this video, maybe we will show it there in the context of our conversation, but what made me smile there was the reaction of the enemies, here i found the reaction in the enemy public, which was written, in russian language there, the armed forces of ukraine used a new drone for the first time with the ability to drop a large number of cluster munitions. the ukrainian

becfire drone, a unit of angry birds , dropped a large amount of ammunition on the positions of the russian air force in the svo zone. we hope that our drones will start working soon. what are they so worried about, can they do it again and what is the performance of backfire strikes in general now, you said about 200 sorties, are there any other good targets other than what we saw in this short video with cluster munitions, so is the defeat of the enemy's reb. er, there is damage to the enemy air defense systems, er, close-range, er, that is, the work is going on, effective, er, and, as you can see, from the enemy publi- public, they, er,

they used to laugh , now they are already thinking about what to do with it, well, we'll see, over time, eh... if everything goes as we have planned, and the troops get fed up with our complex to a large extent, then it will become a serious problem for them , when there will be thousands of them, and by the way, about the order, if we don't say too much, that is, now the ministry of defense, the ministry of statistics are ordering, or as before the main thing, let's say this, well, thanks to... the initiative of your team , the production of these complexes is increasing , what is the situation now, the order is quite voluminous, well , i can say that, well and in fact

, does the capacity of your team now allow you to satisfy this order, which i think will be more and more, it will be good, do you need to expand... the capacity, do you need , say, money in order to buy something there, to expand the team of manufacturers, as this component is being solved now, of course funding is also needed for new developments, because in addition to this aircraft, we also have a number of promising promising weapons, and in principle we are going. a little non-standard path in terms of production, we want to do, so to speak, franchising, well, such a fornetti from weapons, when anyone with

some finances and understanding of production will be able to produce our complexes at their facilities, that is, it will provide us with saturation and not there will be some specific point for the enemy who can destroy it and destroy the production, well then that means it's you you have to prepare a perfect package of documentation, write down all technological cycles, make such a grozbuk there in digital form, which is transferred to your partner and where, relatively speaking, he can repeat it, so far i think that it will be like this... first experience, so what stage are you at now with this first experience? there are several agreements on production at other facilities, in principle we are working on

it, there is an understanding of how to do it, how to scale, because most of our team, both the civilians we have and the military personnel. military personnel, and they have an interesting background in business, in various fields, and in principle there is no such thing for us. some new solutions , we are simply transferring our former civilian experience to the military industry, it is clear, and then what a member mentioned in essence, how then are the eyes new to the teams that receive this complex from the point of view of its use, is it complex from the point of view view of preparation there calculation for programming, for launch there for prevention. parts like this component? no, it is not complicated, it is quite simple to

use, you can learn it in a week, plus one more week of flying under the guidance of instructors and you can use it, it is not difficult in itself, but in the future we plan to make it even simpler. due to a series of new software that will simplify the use, that is, there will be a number of buttons, a take-off point, an ammunition drop point, a landing point and everything, you put it on the screen, it will do it by itself. shrut for you will take into account the altitude, take into account the weather at the time of the mission,

and will fly according to the coordinates, that is, we are going to that, in principle, one of the concepts of all of our developments, ideally this is the maximum easy-to-use weapon, there is one of the developments, it is no longer a secret, we talked about it, it will be a targeting chip for which will lower the threshold of entry into kamikaze copters for pilots, there will be target capture, pressure press one button and it will automatically hit, that is, it will be a module that can be used by all our fpv drones, as i understand it, and this is exactly this terminal stage, the final stage, which is... more complicated, which in fact, well, then the entire russian trench rap will be removed, because what if

there will be such an extension, it means that we will nullify this potential that he is currently trying to create there, it looks like this, you have correctly noticed exactly that, and when to expect this cardinal breakthrough solution, it is already there, it is already on the chip. we are already testing it, here again, the issue of additional funding, because in principle, our team has come to the point that we do not plan to produce any of our solutions, we want to bring them to the final sample, so to speak, already factory. and transfer to production to others, it enables us, we do not concentrate

on the production of some capacity of the production organization, and it enables us to scale quickly and efficiently, that is, but i will just digest the information about this module right now, in fact, it is an extremely necessary and revolutionary solution, because it's really now well... it can multiply the efficiency of using our fpv drones, and that means if we're heard, and we 'll write more after that, probably some news about it, because it's extremely important, and that ours there, i don’t know, breyvan, there is the ministry of strategy and industry, the ministry of defense, because if you really have such developments, then it should be put into practice and scaled up and used on the battlefield as quickly as possible, so i would like you to once it was emphasized that you have such a solution that really... it already has such a character close to the practical level, yes, this

solution already exists, it is almost ready, well, it is ready, we still need to test it in combat conditions and in principle it will be possible to launch it, the only question is that, most likely, this chip, we will not be able to put it into operation. or to put it into service, because it is a component, it is not, well, there is no mechanism for putting it into service, that is , most likely, other drone manufacturers will be able to purchase it, put it in their drones and put their drones into service and receive permission for operation, that is here is such a model, well, we have the management of unmanned complexes, a new management has been created there, i think that they are headed by quite adequate people, i think that in principle, and you should

to talk with them there, because everyone understands how important it is... important, i hope that it will be supported by the general staff of the ministry of defense of ukraine. yes, we also hope for that, well, of course, here we are leaning a little against our bureaucracy, but without this, unfortunately, it is impossible. i like the new trends that the minister of defense has started to implement. panuerov i hope that the bureaucratic component will decrease in the army, not only in terms of new weapons, but in general in terms of use and document management in the army, this is an important reform that should help us, and here is almost an extreme question,

whether you had contacts with foreign manufacturers. of the unmanned complexes themselves, is there a need for cooperation with some foreign companies to solve the problems that your company is currently solving, or are you able to rely on your own strength so far? yes, we had quite interesting contacts, but due to our experience, we are already ahead of other countries in many areas. for example, the french, we talked with them, they have there their plane, a uav bomber, and when we asked how you solved the reb problem, they shrugged their shoulders, like, yes, we don't have such

a problem, well, of course, because they've never faced it, it's supposed to be somewhere in africa. bombing insurgents, some terrorists, who do not have the same weapons as our enemy, this is one task, because objectively we are fighting with one of the strongest armies in the world, it must be recognized, and therefore our experience is unique, unfortunately, and with anyway, let's get back to your behavior. started the conversation, as i understand it, he still transforms, it 's probably going to be a bit bigger, it's already carrying more cargo, it's probably going to have different combat gear options, although we can already see that there are already those solutions, and you're probably going to work on improving the accuracy , and all these requirements will probably be implemented there in version 2.0 or

something else is possible, but first of all there is the k2 version that i mentioned, which flies further and carries more, we are already working on the k3 version, there will be even more interesting performance characteristics, until i will announce them, well the team works constantly, there are other options of the uav aircraft type, that is, we are not standing still. we are working both on backfire and on other developments, and well, because the front dictates the conditions, and we have to move further, further, we have no right to stop. mr. artem , thank you very much for the inclusion, for the work that you are doing for the armed forces, because what you said is really encouraging, because these decisions, in my opinion, are extremely

important, so again, thank you i will remind the team and our viewers that it was artem... scherbakivskyi, the uav operator of the combined squad, angry birds, as well as a member of the team that developed the backfire strike drone, we see that this drone is now being transformed into more powerful versions, there will be new modifications, but we also see that separate technological solutions are being developed, because relatively speaking, the emergence of these software elements for fpv drones, why is it important, because actually now the operator of the fpv drone, the person who uh... withstands significant emotional stress during the execution of a combat mission, there are four or five missions per day, this is actually a qualitative limitation, because the further the operator becomes. it is difficult to really hit a target under the influence of enemy fire if the fpv drone is at the terminal stage, i.e. at the end it can capture the target and destroy the enemy object by itself

, then this means that the burden on the operator is reduced, and on the other hand, i repeat, this the story with the trench reb, now the enemy is trying to saturate the front edge with various means of combating drones, primarily with fpv drones, we see there, relatively speaking, that on some russian tanks such green boxes where are the fpv suppression systems for drones, but these modules that cherbakivsky is talking about, they are basically being developed by several more teams now, to be honest, they actually really nullify the capabilities of the russian reb, they are very interested in getting it done as soon as possible, i think the military leaders will understand the significance of this step and support the initiatives of the team currently represented by artem scherbakivskyi, so these were... the main conclusions of this military program of ours, where on the one hand we see the potential of private companies with certain bureaucratic restrictions due to the actions of certain government bodies, in particular

dasu, and truly breakthrough solutions that can be implemented by private companies to strengthen potential in various areas, starting from unmanned complexes and ending in other areas. stay tuned to the spresso channel, there will be many more interesting things to come. there are 15% discounts on tosmai in the pharmacies of plantain bam and oschad. vasyl zima's big broadcast. this is the great ether, my name is vasyl. we have, let's start, two hours of airtime, two hours of your time , we will discuss many important topics with you today, two hours to learn about the war, right now we will talk more about the war, serhiy zgurets

we are looking for 11-year-old george. taraseva

from donetsk region. the boy disappeared in june 2023 in the volnovatsky district in the village of velyka novosilka. this area is very close to the front line, but the village where he lived is under occupation the boy was not there, so it is difficult to even guess where george could have gone. there has been no news about the boy for more than six months, and i really hope that with your help the child will be found. attention to the photo. george looks his own. he is 11 years old, thin and has light blond hair. if suddenly someone has seen the boy or knows where he might be, immediately call us on the hotline of the magnolia children's search service at the short number 11630. calls from any ukrainian mobile operator are free, or write to the service's chatbot search for children in telegram. any information is important. i also want to tell about...

the disappearance of 15-year-old valeria polizhai. the girl is also from donetsk region and also from voznesensky district. valeria lived in the village of urozhaine, which was liberated from the invaders during the summer counteroffensive. it was in the summer of 2023 that it became known about the disappearance of the girl, but there is still no news about her. therefore, i am asking for your help. try to remember valeria's face, and if suddenly you see somewhere. girl, call us immediately at the hotline of the child tracing service at the short number 11630. calls from ukrainian mobile operators are free. i have told you only two stories of missing children. in total, since the beginning of the war, we have received more than 200 requests for help in the search. fortunately, the vast majority of boys and girls have already been found, but the fate of many remains unknown. this is especially true.

specifically the temporarily occupied territories, where the work of the police is practically paralyzed, from where it is impossible to leave and there are problems with communication. sometimes people who cannot find their own children do not even know what to do or where to turn. if you suddenly find yourself in a similar situation and have no idea how to act, call the short number 1163 or write to the chatbot of the children's search service in telegram. here you will be provided. all the necessary advice, besides this, everyone who sees me now can already help in the search for missing children, take just a minute of your time and go to the website of the magnolia children's search service, here you can view all the photos of the missing, maybe you will recognize someone and in the end you will help to find. and now regarding the territories controlled by ukraine and a more or less peaceful life. unfortunately,

children also disappear here. as the experience of the children's search service shows, the vast majority of them are teenagers who often just run away. we talked about this topic with a psychologist and collected a lot of advice for parents that can definitely prevent a child from suddenly running away from home. one of them is about the importance of talking with children not only about everyday topics and matters, but also about their own feelings, experiences and fears. frankness according to experts, not only opening up will help. child, and sometimes even get support and help. show sincere interest in the child's personality, because often all our conversations with children, and especially with teenagers, boil down to a few topics: cleaning, grades, maybe some other material moments, but something completely different is important to them, it is important for them to talk about feelings, about experiences , about the world, about how everything is arranged. on the other hand, they may not be ready to do it first, and it's your turn.

you should be the first to talk about about your fears, about your doubts, about your hesitations and feelings, and this will not only create a good relationship between you and the child, not only will it allow the child to open up to you in the future, but it will also help you to get support, to get help, to feel needed and loved in your own family. good evening, we are from ukraine. greetings, dear tv viewers, my name is vasyl zima, this is the velikiy eter program on the espresso tv channel, and for the next hour and 47 minutes, i and my colleagues will talk with you about the most important thing, whether the enemy is really preparing an attack on kharkiv, what the local authorities say about it, and how quickly the situation can change in anticipation of severe cold weather, is ukraine's energy system ready, how is air defense preparing.

destroy enemy missiles, etc
