khrystyna yatskiv, i am very happy to return to our conversations with you, together with vitaly portnikov, who will definitely appear on your screens tonight to talk about the most important things, just a little later , and before that i will have the honor to talk with our esteemed experts about the most important events of today. and several previous ones in order to, well, you know, somehow finalize even some processes at this stage. of course, we will talk about the military situation and the possibility that ukraine will eventually have the long-awaited f-16s. in addition, let's talk about the latest messages that pleased us at the general staff. let's not forget what is happening in the united states in the same context. of the pre-election race , kamalagari looks like she will be chosen

as a delegate from the democratic party of the united states, but there are scandals there too , in addition to this, we will talk about an important liquidation, something that may or may not change the situation in the middle east in the near future, all this with our guests, all this with vitaly portnikov, and we're starting, i'll allow myself. to begin with one of the most recent messages from the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. defense forces of ukraine struck a submarine and an anti-aircraft missile complex s-400 of the russian federation in the temporarily occupied crimea. it's official yet once a message to the general staff. the information about this attack, which was carried out on august 2 by units of the missile forces, in cooperation with units of the naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine, and was significantly damaged, you know, has already been confirmed. neither many nor few, but four launchers of the triumph air defense system. and

as a result of a successful attack in the port of sevastopol , ukrainian soldiers hit the submarine of the black sea fleet of the russian federation , rostov-on-don, which was already receiving a lot of attention. the ship sank on the spot. concerning of this ship, you know, it was especially interesting to gather a little additional information for you. submarine b-237 rostovna. according to the nato classification, this is the kilo class. it is one of four kilo-class submarines capable of using kalibr missiles. rostovnadon was the carrier of four kalibr missiles. it is known that he already used them even in a combat situation. and in the black sea , this submarine appeared in february 2022, actually one week before the full-scale invasion. well, but so far accurate data, what exactly. from this boat submarine was launched calibers in ukrainian cities, no. rostov nadonu was put into

operation on december 26, 2014, and in 2017, and this is significant, it received the prize of the russian military command as the best submarine of the russian federation according to the results of the competition. well, this is a rather rare operation in the history of soldiers, so we congratulate our military and... thank you for this precedent, i am glad to congratulate, anatoliy hrabchynskyi, the deputy general director of the company that deals with means of radio-electronic warfare , is in touch with me now and aviation expert. mr. anatoly, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine. glory, congratulations. if there is anything to say, a few words about the latest messages from the general staff. i understand that it is more about the walls, about the vessels, about the ships, but less about when feces fly from these ships, even submarines. the sky is directly involved here, minus the caliber carrier, the underwater

caliber carrier, to what extent does this slightly change the situation in the black sea? in your opinion? i would like to remind you that in fact, if we are talking about the use of caliber missiles, russia has recently accumulated a little of them at the expense of that she could not use ships to launch those missiles. so basically minus one all, that's what we emphasize all the time, in terms of... in this case, they can carry, me, i am once again pleased with the destruction of the triumf launchers, these are systems that are included in the air defense, which in crimea, as you know, recently crimea has become for russian systems air defense, defense, place of destruction, that is, they are redeployed there and destroyed there, and this conveyor, in principle

, about four, or more precisely, maybe five divisions of the s-400 system have already been destroyed directly. crimea, therefore, in principle, i would say in addition that here it is necessary to give an example of the application of the complex use of atakams missiles, stormshadow scalp missiles, ukrainian bepola reconnaissance missiles, because of course these bopola reconnaissance missiles perform a guidance function and help to knock out important objects in the temporarily temporarily occupied crimea, uh, what, mr. anatoly, the f-16, which... finally, finally is at the disposal of our state, so much has already been said, said in anticipation of receiving these planes, said even this week, while we are discussing and even talking about certain photos that may indicate that they are already in our sky, and f16, their number, as far as

the full functionality will be available to us as a state and our military. which can be provided by the f-16 aircraft. well, again, let's start with what with looking at those letters about the help from our western partners, about the weapons of the summer, which will be provided with these aircraft, unfortunately, so far we do not have jasinsu missiles, which can fly for the spring more than 100 km, up to 1000 km, sorry. as for other weapons, these are air-to-air, air-to-surface, and aerial bombs. which will significantly affect the capabilities of our air forces, because in principle, if we talk about what was carried out by the air defense forces, it was both bombing and launching the same anti-radar missiles themselves to destroy the enemy's air defenses and launch air-to-air missiles, but those for

intercepting air targets or for intercepting missiles, but it should be noted that in principle, if we are talking about the use of this very weapon, which in principle was also previously used on mig-29 aircraft, but what should be noted here is that the aircraft were converted in order to be able to use american weapons, so now there will be full operational functionality, that is, we are talking about the fact that there will be weapons will be used from the aircraft on which it was originally planned and developed, so in principle a... here the range of possibilities expands and i would not pay attention, for example, to the remark that ukrainian f-16s will be able to fly only 40 km to line of combat or to the border with the russian federation, as if to avoid falling under the possibility of defeating russian air

defense means, it should be noted that if the task is carried out, of course, the air defense... defense is first destroyed, in relation to 40-kilometer zone, then it should be noted here that, in principle, most of the weapons provided by our western partners allow you to operate at a distance of up to 200 km, and this allows a forty-kilometer zone and plus 160 km deep into the temporarily occupied territory or deep into the territory of the russian federation, but here it should be noted that permission from our western partners is again required for the use of certain types of weapons on the territory. because in principle there are permits from our western partners to use aircraft for the territory of the russian federation and over the territory of the russian federation, but still, the range of weapons should be increased and the geography of strikes should be increased. of course, we work very well with our unmanned aircraft systems at russian airfields, at russian

oil depots, but still agree, 450 kg of payload in a rocket is a lot. what we can do with our unmanned systems that can, well, up to 100 kg, but carry. and also today the general staff reported that it was possible to hit the airfield morozovsk in the russian federation, and we are probably talking about the liquidation of a warehouse with guided aerial bombs, and the issue of kabiv, well, unfortunately, we well understand what this means for the front line, what it means for... for our military, moreover , even our more rear cities already know this, and it is demonstrated in kharkiv oblast, as well as in kherson oblast, very clearly, unfortunately, nevertheless, and yes... to the russian airfield, this is not the first precedent, can we say about a systematic approach? this year showed a systematic approach and an increase in the number

of flights of unmanned aircraft systems over the territory of the russian federation and an increase in the number of hits to directly important objects. here i would like to point out that in fact ukraine has chosen the right way to build any anti- unmanned aerial systems, it is one sortie, one hit, one sortie and... qualitatively collected intelligence information, that is, we are saying that the main emphasis in the creation of unmanned aircraft systems, which are now being put before manufacturers in ukraine, before engineers, this is a high-quality high-tech tool that can be guaranteed to 100% fulfill the combat task in front of it, or 100% to collect the necessary intelligence or in real time direct the same other drones to important objects on the territory the enemy, and therefore, in principle, if we talk about what is happening this year, then let's also recall the strike on the millerovo airfield, and

morozovsky has already been struck several times and strikes on important objects on the territory of the airfield are usually used, i definitely we are all waiting to finally see the already torn up airplanes , the runway dug up, but there are strikes on important strategic objects, if we... we are talking about the morozovs, these were warehouses with fuel and oil materials, and these are directly warehouses with weapons, millerovo there was a blow to the warehouses as well, and the technical part was also directly affected, this is an important component of any airfield that is close to the combat collision zone and performs the mission of maintenance and rapid repairs even airplanes in order to use them on the battle line in the future. in principle, it was precisely in millerovo that the technical part was affected. let's remember the destruction of the su-57 aircraft. this is also a strategic task, because in fact the destruction of the plane at the airfield,

here, by the way, airfield activity, is an airfield that the russians use to test the latest weapons, that is, we are talking about the fact that these same umpk modules for winged aircraft were also tested there at one time bombs and the x69 missile, which recently appeared in the russian federation, as well as tested at one time. the missile is x101, kha 555. and in principle, we are talking about the fact that the so-57 aircraft was directly hit there, most likely with some kind of upgraded or modernized equipment, which later russia planned to use against ukraine, but nevertheless, significant strikes are inflicted on important objects on the territory of the russian federation. well, actually according to the analysis of some of your colleagues, it is at the airfield. su and 24 24m and su-34 are regularly in morozovsk, possibly even a few su-35s, and here, mr. anatoly,

i have a question for you: su-35 vs. f-16, how soon and, well, let's say, in what section we can witness such an aerial battle, an aerial battle between these aircraft , although we understand that for now the f-16 is... well, to reinforce our air defense forces so that we defend ourselves in the first place, but everything lies ahead? and you know, sometimes when we watch some american movies there, we wonder why the characters fight each other with their fists, when everyone has a gun, but so, let's go back to the fact that modern air combat eliminates the possibility of visual contact, why? because most radar on airplanes can see more than two. any aerial object, that is, we are talking about the fact that you can capture a target in advance, launch a missile and be sure that this target will be destroyed, so i am more than sure that

the russian su-34, su-35, su -30 will be afraid to come close to the strike zone of f-16 aircraft, because after all, all the weapons that the russian federation has, all those planes that the russian federation has are a consequence of the legacy from the soviet union, which at one time was up to... modernized, improved and an attempt to make high-tech weapons. let's not forget that the soviet union also stole most of its military developments from our western partners. therefore, in principle, i am more than sure that - the confrontation of such visual contact will not be, in any case, but taking into account the possibility of f-16 aircraft, taking into account the same aim-120 missiles, which can operate at a distance of 185 +m, i.e. 100 plus should be noted, it means that it is possible and... it will be possible to work at longer distances, so i think that russian planes will have to work harder and they will probably not enter

the zone. and here we can say that due to the single protocol on which these planes work, it will be possible to count on the fact that any air units that will fall within a radius of 550 km of the saab plane can be equally affected by the f planes -16, so in my opinion, again, planes anyway f-16s will be much better. work than we all expect, because in principle the plane was quite well made with a great resource and with great capabilities, it should not be forgotten that they have been modernized many times and it is the most common plane that is actively used in most air forces. as for russian planes, well, here in principle , let's remember that, in fact, it is at the

komsomolsk plant on the amur, at the plant. there are about 30 so35 planes that cannot take to the sky, because most of them the electronics that this plane needs are under sanctions, they can't get it, so they're trying to do something with what they have now, and again, let's remember that most of the planes that russia is producing now are for tactical aviation , these are planes that were ordered by the ministry of defense of the russian federation back in 18-19, and i am asking you very much, mr. anatoly... briefly , just as a short comment, and information from forbes that in july of this year, ukrainian units released more long-range drones than the russian federation, ours - 520, and the russians - 426. everything, well, most of what the russians released, our air defense forces, of course, defeated. what can the emergence of such a trend indicate?

briefly. in ukraine, there is a very large number of companies engaged in high-tech weapons, not only the end result is high-tech weapons, there is also a large component base, and here it should be noted that ukraine is now able to provide the armed forces of ukraine with all high-tech weapons on like drones of any type, as well as anti-electronic warfare, of course you need good funding for manufacturers to be able to make, there was predictability of purchases, manufacturers could work at full scale of their production. thank you, anatoliy hrabchinskyi, deputy general director of the company engaged in radio electronic warfare, aviation expert is in touch with us, well, we move on to the next important question, what is happening in the united states, at what stage there election race and oleksandr kraev, director of the north america program of the ukrainian prism council of foreign policy, americanist, is in touch with us. congratulations oleksandr, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, good evening to you,

well, we can say that... that kamala garis is becoming a delegate from the democrats in these presidential elections, do i understand correctly? yes, absolutely true, that is, the democrats who support the right to advance voting in official presidential elections, who advocate such a right at the level of congressional elections, they are in principle such advance voting are also used at the own congress of the democratic party, therefore, in fact , it can already be clearly said that this is how kamala harist secured enough for herself. delegates to become the democratic presidential candidate. well, as far as we understand, little by little, ms. kamala is depriving donald trump, her republican rival, of her advantage in seven key states so far. at least, this is what a bloomberg survey suggests. if we talk about the scales of terezy, in which, in what deposition is the situation now, mr. oleksandr. actually,

so far those the previous polls that were before kamala harris was officially nominated for president are, let's just say, not entirely accurate for us for one simple reason: we still haven't seen her team, we still haven't seen her vice president, we haven't seen clearly formed its certain strategy neither in foreign policy nor in domestic policy, and therefore one way or another, but so that we understand that polls give a clearer result, that polls really... are created on the basis of the fact that the people who are polled, they know what this candidate will do, what views he has on certain problems of domestic and foreign policy, then you and i will be able to clearly say that yes and panic harris or mr. trump are ahead of each other by such and such percentages , and it really is verified leadership. at the moment, we are rather talking about the trend, but the trend that is emerging is very interesting: kamala harris was able to gain... in just three weeks of the campaign.
