an ordinary infantryman from an officer, that's why we are already managing, guided by this experience , we choose our own priority price, so it is more profitable to destroy an officer and leave a strong point without a command, than to destroy some observer there, but there are other priorities, that's when we see and.. ... and for example , the pilot of some unmanned aerial vehicles there, here it is already a priority to destroy, for example, the pilot, not the officer. 11 days in winter, that's how much time largo waited for the same moment to eliminate one of the commanders of the cossack regiment of the lpr group. it was one of the most difficult tasks of a ukrainian sniper. these 11 days are mine.

weight, it was a waste of energy to keep warm, because again the frost was terrible, the toes were shriveled, since there was heating, but only at night it was possible to go down into the dugout until the batteries on the thermal imager sat down completely, this you can... go down into the dugout and warm up your legs already there, that is, the same applies to hands, heaters , what chemical heaters are there, they help, but not for a very long time, and when you start warming yourself with them, you only do unnecessary movements, if your position is reliable and allows you to move, then it’s good, it’s a good position, if your position is here...

lying in the field in a mask, then we shuffled once more, it’s better not necessary, there someone will tell you what you can do there under walking, or in diapers, that’s not the case, i would like to see a person lying wet in 16-degree frost, who went to the toilet under himself, so it’s better to limit yourself in food as a driver, most ukrainian snipers work in piles . two shooters are carried on a combat mission from 30 to 50 kg, in addition to the rifles themselves, these are tripods, rangefinders, weather stations, body armor, carcases, sleeping bags, camouflage, food, water, no one knows exactly how long one will have to stay at the position, it is very difficult for one person to keep track of everything, it is very difficult for one person to see everything, first of all, if a person sits for a long time in a position, his visual organs simply get tired, and he simply will not see...

forging, well, vertically, and this makes it very difficult to work, move , well, it is always the most difficult in the job of a sniper is to take a position and, in particular , to leave the position when one has already worked, and this is complicated many times, many times by the fact that...

drones are constantly hovering, there are eagles, halls and so on. distance, humidity, wind speed, visibility, air temperature. in order to destroy the target, the sniper needs to take into account many factors, besides, you can be calculated even by one shot and immediately covered with fire. we try, we try to train under load, shoot from uncomfortable... some positions, because in the film they show how you got there, lay down, lie down, as a matter of fact, we rarely lie down, sometimes sitting, sometimes on the side, sometimes something always presses, plus ammunition, well, there is no such thing as arriving there and everything is fine, there is no such thing, that is everything is at a pace, on the move you run, out of breath, shoot back, retreat, we entered the position of our brigade, we entered our brigade and we had a certain task, but there was such a moment that there was silence from our side, and

that is, if we assume that our shot would have been heard, then this area would have been paid a lot of attention, so we agreed in advance with the infantry in the positions that if we are ready, we will add a certain command and in principle this is how it worked, that is, we give the command, they start a fire show, machine guns, automatic weapons, and in principle, then at least you don’t burn like that, then at least you don't burn yourself like that, it's one thing to work in the house alone in the house , that is, somehow it's safer, and you mask your shot, there are nuances of how to mask it, that is, you also have a noise, well , it's not clear where the shot came from, from the forest, let's say he shot well there in the field... this wooded area, looking at it, coniferous, deciduous, again, the forests are different, if we take into account the coniferous forest, then you can find some clearing, which you will

see there 100-200 meters, but this is the maximum, i was in in the kremin forest and approached the enemy there at 20, 30 m in order to fire a shot, well... with a sound munition, well, but we didn't record most of the shots, because it was very scary, that's the presence of cover and camouflage , if you are invisible, but the presence of the fact that just shells are pouring from heaven, you know that, you can lie like that, damn it, i’m so... i disguised myself so well that even my own people would never be found, and then i came very close, that’s 26 m, it was the closest distance, on which i had the opportunity to approach, it was the shortest shot i personally had, and 2.147, it was 2 km,

147 m, it was the longest shot, it is one of the best sights in the world for... 327 is exactly an army sight, the nozzle itself, it will to allow shooting at even 1.5 km, respectively, taking into account the fact that in this caliber , after all, the bullet can better fight the wind and the error is much smaller than 338, again the shooter gets certain advantages and the ability to shoot. at night at a long distance, the magazine is standard for five cartridges, it is still brand new, but it is quite large, it is simultaneous for the caliber 375 and 408 chiitak, it is a bolt-action

rifle, it is loaded with a continuous sliding bolt, it is closed, the elements for such long-range rifles were selected experts from all over the world at the best manufacturers plan to transfer these weapons to sniper units of the ukrainian defense forces this summer. the rifles will make it possible to confidently fire at a distance of 1600-200 m. we started everything with the cartridge that we will work with, and for this cartridge, after thinking through each complex, we did the task for one or another manufacturer to produce each part for us. complex so that they cooperate with each other as effectively as possible, this also applies to the rifle itself, i mean, which was made by the cadex company, and the chassis, which was made by the automatic company, we redesigned it several times

times, until they found the option that satisfied absolutely everyone, it is planned that in addition to 100 rifles and 100 thousand cartridges to them, the defense forces. full-fledged sniper complexes, including pickups for each group. there is also a thermal imaging, pre-objective attachment, there are additional devices, there are rangefinders, for example, which we measure the distance, or there, for example, a thermal imager or a quadcopter, which is included in the kit for observations, a surveillance complex, in general, the rifle itself is approximately , well, if you count without a scope the rifle itself, it's... about 10% of the complex, it's just a part, we thought up every element so that a fighter, pair, or group of snipers could take it all, 100 rifles, 50 sniper pairs. even highly experienced snipers need time and practice to

master a new weapon. all shooters to whom rifles are planned to be handed over will undergo special courses where they will learn how to use the complex as efficiently as possible. a record shot is the result of correct calculation, preparatory work, preparation of the complex and, accordingly, a certain amount of luck, moreover, the further this shot is, the more... it is necessary, well, even such a simple factor, if we shoot at a distance of 2600 m, the bullet flies for almost 6 seconds, that is, during this time, anything can happen, the target can simply turn around and go somewhere else direction, and it is impossible to calculate, if the sniper hit the target, then he must have a video taken as confirmation, and there are a lot of nuances: they dug a trench, two diggers, they dug a trench, two diggers, and the fact is that... everything so that the distance was perfect, i won't say how much, the distance was perfect, everything was clear, it

was already about 4-5 in the morning, it was a night job, i turn on the video recording on the scope, the video is playing, i shoot, i see that the person just slowly rolled into the trench, but alas, the technique failed a little, the video was not recorded completely, half, that is, where the shot took place and there was already more or less the time as the bullet flies to the target, there could be a hit, it is just up to this moment, as the bullet hits, and the person rolled, it just cut the video, like that, but it was visible in the crosshairs completely different, but i wanted to prove that it really happened, i wanted to prove that it really happened, if there is a video hit, you ticked a box somewhere in the black notebook, with the blood of a russian boy, if there is a hit, but he got up after that and he's 300, so it's not a hit. if there is no confirmation, it is not counted, that is, every shot

should not be counted, because there were such cases when you saw from the observer, in the dugout, there in the loophole, saw movement, you fired a shot, well, you did not see a hit, but you you see the body that is from there brought out, did you hit it, or was he already there dead three? two days ago, we repelled an attack near bakhmut, and i had a problem, the camera failed, that is, i shot video for two days, i did not shoot on the third day, because everything fell to me there, and what i calculated with my partner, there were, it seems, 16, 200 of them. first we saw it, an observer saw it, we saw the evacuation, we saw how they were raped,

we saw our hits, we have video, we confirm it, it was fun because we shoot at them and they climb and climb , here we are again shooting, everything was more like a shooting range, and on the third day there were... again, there was work, but there was no video. with the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, many ukrainian snipers simultaneously mastered related military specialties in order to be as useful as possible on the battlefield, first of all they mastered fpv drones. a day earlier, i could fire one, maximum two shots and prepare for it for two days, but now i am already in a ready position, i can destroy up to 10 targets there in a day. it doesn't matter there, it's technique, there dugout with the enemy, some of their utios,

a mortar, there is a gun, it doesn't matter, but the result is greater, from repelling an enemy assault, for example, there are 25 fpv drones, but it was done by four groups, different groups, different units, that's still cool, because we didn't... we didn't lose such a number of people and means if we did it, for example, in hand-to-hand combat, if trench fought with trench, that is , all the work was done, for example, fpiishki, arta and fii, more precisely and so on , but the sniper would not have done such a job, they would not have repelled, for example, a tank assault never in life, it still gives a greater advantage. yes , they are relevant, but so is the role

of the infantry, if you think about it that way, drones alone will not fight each other, that is, the operator with the operators, that is, in any case, there are some positions, there are boundaries, where people still go, to the same place is brought and provisions are brought up, and people come up, and the bull rises, that is, you simply cannot cover all fpv with drones, no matter how it is, the war is not won only with drones, the war... is not won there with planes, there is the f16, which we are so expecting , goodies, well, this is not a wonderwaffle, as they say, yes, it works in combination. and we all, well, whether snipers, whether there are fpv drones, whether there are orta, mortars, we all have one function, we support the infantry that holds the positions, that is, well, these infantrymen who are now in the trenches, these people are titans , and our task

is to cover them, to make it so that in them they carry... carry minimal losses, well, and this requires accuracy, accuracy and speed of reaction, in no case can it be said that sniping loses its relevance, it depends on many factors, and the first factor is tactical the situation, well, that is, now in this area where we are and hold defenses, it is not very relevant, because there is minimal terrain, very not... distances and on the front edge are almost absent, well landings, yes, that is, shelter for sniping , if it is, for example, an auditorium or some kind of building, there you can say that we will somehow adapt to the conditions that the war will impose on us, cold-bloodedness,

endurance and potential, the very key... and potential, key moments, because cold-bloodedness - this is necessary for a person, so that she simply without any fear and without preoccupation took her first shot at a person, endurance so that he could endure all the difficulties that he will have after work and the potential so that he could at least move from one caliber to another caliber , and he was interested in it, and he at least understood how it all works here, if everything, if, in my opinion, all these factors were put together, then in principle a good sniper would turn out. collect it in a heap, then you will get a good sniper in principle. sniping will always be an art, in any case, under during any war, sniping will always remain one of the highest arts of war. i can at any moment just take a rifle, i have the same

places, the same heights, and just go out one day, take a breath and come back. that is , no matter how deeply it dragged me, and it is necessary to understand that at this stage of the war, we cannot choose, i will remain a sniper and will sit and wait for a serious time, control and... glory to ukraine. russia's war against ukraine is, in particular, a testing ground for new ones types of weapons, battle tactics, use of certain units. some types of troops are emerging, others are losing their relevance, others, such as snipers, are adapting to the modern theater of operations,

trying to be as effective as possible on the battlefield today. these were donbas realities, my name is yehor loginov, see you soon. glory to ukraine, this is the verdict program. my name is serhiy rudenko, i greet everyone and wish everyone good health. for the next two hours, we will talk about ukraine, the world, the war, and our victory today program russian soldier. the terror does not abate. several thermal and hydroelectric power stations were damaged. ukraine is asking partners for additional air defense systems. strengthening of the power unit. zelenskyi introduced the new heads of the foreign intelligence service and the national security and defense council. what new tasks are assigned to these bodies? contrary to christian morality. the uoc

-mp distanced itself from the nazi ideology of russian peace. does that make it ukrainian? roc independent from moscow. we will talk about this and other things for the next hour with our guests, a former people's deputy of ukraine the head of the security service of ukraine valentyn nalyvaichenko, political expert volodyr tsibulek and journalist roban tsymbalyuk. in the second part of our program, which will start in exactly one hour, there will be a journalism club with the participation of my colleagues kateryna nekrecha and yanina sokolova. however, before starting our big conversation, i suggest... watch a video of how ukrainian fighters repelled another assault attempt near novomykhaivka, the surviving occupiers, abandoning the burning equipment, tried to escape, but the runners were overtaken... operators drones and aimed at them. the video of the magical destruction was made public by the 79th separate assault tavri brigade. let's see.

in the course of our program, we conduct a survey and ask you this today: are you satisfied with danilov's work as secretary of the national security council. everything is quite simple on youtube:

yes, no, or your answer, please write in the comments under this video, if you watch us on tv, take your smart phone or phone and vote if you are satisfied with danilov's work as the secretary of the council national security and defense, 0800 211 381, no 0800 211 382. all these calls, numbers, calls are free, call. i would like to introduce our first guest, this is valentyn nalyvaichenko, people's deputy of ukraine, secretary of the committee of the verkhovna rada on integration of ukraine with the european union, former head of the security service of ukraine. mr. valentin, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. good evening, glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. mr. valentine. over the past few weeks , we have been watching the russian occupiers wreak havoc in... on the critical infrastructure of ukraine, in particular on energy facilities as a result of the current night attack on the ukrainian

energy system, energy infrastructure was damaged in dnipropetrovsk, vinnytsia, ivano-frankivsk, lviv, cherkasy and chernivtsi regions, in some regions, as the prime minister says prime minister of ukraine denys shmyhal, applied emergency shutdowns, what purpose did they pursue... where is putin and why is there no reaction from the world to these shellings, why is there no such reaction as to the terrorist attack in the suburbs of moscow? the goal is obvious, it has not changed in putin, the beginning of full-scale aggression against us, and a return, in essence, a return to energy terror with the use of rockets, shaheeds and everything that a russian terrorist, putin's kremlin regime has. and his armed forces against our country, moreover, they are already filming and not even hiding it themselves, showing that

old soviet multi-ton bombs are being raised in old soviet factories, i don’t know what they paint them there, and they add a little, you know, tails , and including began to use multi-ton terrorist heavy bombs against the civilian population of ukraine, primarily against the frontline and frontline territories of ukraine, i think that the only thing that has changed is that the russian aggressor, without having any success at the front, is resorting to more and more severe forms of terrorizing the civilian population and ukraine in general, serious international analysts and our partners from nato member countries agree on this, and i, as an expert, believe that it is powerlessness that is absent. results at the front, where the ukrainian armed forces, the armed forces of ukraine, repulse and beat the aggressor and beat very painfully, especially, i have referring to the latest strikes on sevastopol and

other such military facilities on the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea of ​​ukraine, i think that all this is the trigger, the, you know, the trigger, that once again putin gave the order to return to energy terror with the use of multi-ton ... flying weapons with russia, is the ukrainian government doing everything to initiate or draw the attention of the world community to what putin is doing now, well, i mean, why is there no initiative to convene the un security council, since the destruction of the energy infrastructure in ukraine will certainly lead to a humanitarian disaster in the whole country, you have russia , sergey, first of all, it is necessary to clearly... and it is so in international law, that this is the use of such terrorist missiles, shahed and multi-ton terrorist bombs, against civilians infrastructure and civilians

. of ukrainians, these are crimes against humanity, war crimes against the civilian population, this is a real international crime, here there is not only and not so much the need for a un council, as i think, a special military tribunal, why our western partners are delaying it, i don't quite understand, because from the first months of russian aggression we proposed and defended and insist on such a special tribunal. over war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the russians on the territory of ukraine, he was already posted and worked in the gas, well, there are even warrants for the arrest of putin, that shoemaker of his, two russian commanders, who just gave the order to their russian air forces to use missiles against energy objects of ukraine in 22-23 years, already in the 24th year , such a tribunal should finally operate and...

pronounce sentences not only on the war criminals themselves, but also confiscate russian assets, confiscate russian real estate, money, and so on, for that , in order to finance and transfer to ukraine more, correctly, air defense, air defense systems, i will decipher a little, which are needed now, because literally yesterday, the day before yesterday, we held such negotiations with our french partners, the chairman of the assembly and the heads of the committees were here of the french parliament, just a profile. profiles, we now clearly tell our partners in the anti-putin coalition, we need third-generation patriot systems, or similar air defense systems, why third-generation and why patriot, and because precisely such missiles and precisely the third generation have a warhead that independently even when the radar it was aimed and the computer released it, this warhead itself will not leave

any russian missile in the air, even these cir... about which the russians boasted so much, they the warheads are able to guide them further in the air, target them, and impress them with what, for our tv viewers, perhaps it would be interesting that these are 24 such tungsten rods that completely paralyze, destroy the wings of the missile, the missile itself, and so and so they knock it off course or destroy it in the air, and it happened, and that is why they were successfully shot down in... including in the last week two zircons, the last of which was released by the aggressor from the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea, that is why such air defense systems and such a third generation with the possibility of targeting, and they, having the results already in this war of russia against us, these systems have shown that there are no russian missiles beyond their reach, there is not a single hyper-accustomed, zircon, onist,

dagger or any other. terrorist weapons in russian, which they are unable to shoot down, everyone shoots down, but the time has come for our partners to give ukraine the same, the same systems, and they were needed yesterday in kharkiv, the day before yesterday in odesa and in other specific cities, about which our general the headquarters knows for sure, and you know, what is more important, that ours indeed, military experts, i applaud them, know in which even the old soviet mines for... missiles, as they were on the territory of ukraine, including strategic ones, can and should be placed, hidden from destruction, and how to use this old, but nevertheless existing on our land, still soviet infrastructure for missiles. at that time, these missiles were against the west, but now such, such infrastructure, such deployment and such capabilities have been created, and we can and want to use them to protect ukraine.

only in these e. opportunities in these concrete and not only concrete, underground, including facilities and storage facilities, such air defense systems and missiles for them can and should be placed, in order to stop the enemy's missile terrorism, this is the number one issue now for the survival of ukraine and our energy industry and our millions of cities throughout the territory, well , about additional air defense complexes in an interview with the cb tv channel. volodymyr zelensky also spoke, he says that it is the additional air defense systems that will allow protecting industrial centers and weakening putin. let's listen to what zelensky said. and the weapons i told you about, 5-7 air defense systems, patriot from the united states of america, will protect today.
