there is such an opinion in the opposition, in particular, that it is possible precisely through their mediation that it will be possible to enter into a dialogue with maduro, because for these leaders themselves, what maduro is doing, of course , also affects their image as left-wing regimes, and the fact that something like this is happening, so this option remains, well, right-wing regimes, like the argentinian xaviermile, they usually criticize maduro as much as possible, what is happening, they recognized gonzalez as the president, so for the time of the reaction, thank you very much, thank you, we have outlined, at least in a dotted line, what is happening . venezuela, venezuela is translated to you knew little venice, this is venezuela, yes, this is little venice, well, it’s clear why, because the venetians sailed there somewhere in the 16th-15th centuries, ivan fichko, expert of the latin american and caribbean research program of the ukrainian prism foreign policy council, i i bid you farewell, ladies and gentlemen, good luck, many useful victories for you, i wish you good luck.

greetings, this is saturday's political club, my name is khrystyna yatskiv, i am very happy to return to our conversations with you, together with vitaly portnikov, who will will appear on your screens tonight to... talk about the highlights just a little bit later, and before that i'll have the honor of talking to our esteemed experts about the highlights of today and the last few to, you know, kind of to finalize at this stage, even some processes, of course we will talk about the military situation and the probability that ukraine will eventually have the long-awaited f-16s. in addition to... we are talking about the latest

messages that pleased us at general staff, let's not forget what is happening in the united states, in the context of the election race itself, kamalagari, it seems that she will be elected as a delegate from the democratic party of the united states, but there are also scandals there , in addition to this, we will talk about an important liquidation, what... 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 begin. let me start with one of the most recent messages from the general staff of the armed forces forces of ukraine, the defense forces of ukraine struck a submarine and an anti-aircraft missile complex s-400 of the russian federation in the temporarily occupied crimea. this is once again an official message from the general staff. information about this attack has already been confirmed. 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, neither many nor few, but four launchers of the triumph air defense system, and as a result of the successful attack in the port of sevastopol, ukrainian soldiers struck submarine of the black sea fleet of the russian federation rostov-on-don, which was already receiving nuts, the ship sank on the spot. as for that... shit, you know, it was especially interesting to gather a little bit of additional information for you. submarine b-237 rostov-on-don according to nato classification is the kilo class. it is one of four kilo-class submarines capable of using caliber missiles. rostovnadon was the carrier of four kaliber missiles. it is known that he already used them even in a combat situation. and in the black sea, this submarine... coravel

appeared in february 2022, actually one week before the full-scale invasion. well , so far , there is no accurate data that calibers were launched from this submarine in ukrainian cities. roztovu was commissioned on december 26, 2014. 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 warriors, so we congratulate our military and thank you for this precedent, i am glad to congratulate, anatoliy hrabchynskyi, deputy general director of the company engaged in radio electronic warfare and aviation expert, is on the phone now, mr. anatolii, 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 sea, about ships, about ships, but less about the fact that when calibers fly from these ships, even submarines, the sky here is without... directly involved, minus the caliber carriers, underwater caliber carrier, as far as it is, well, it changes a little 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 due to the fact that it could not use ships to launch those missiles, therefore, in principle, the minus one is that we we constantly emphasize, with regard to aviation means, that it is necessary to destroy safety. platform in order to reduce the possibility, so to speak, of using any weapons that these aircraft or ships in this case may carry, i i am once again pleased with the destruction of the triumph launchers, these are systems that are part of the air defense, which in crimea, as

you know, lately crimea has become a place of destruction for russian air defense systems, that is, they are redeploying there. is being destroyed there, and this conveyor, in principle, about four, or rather, maybe five divisions of the s4 system , were all destroyed directly already in crimea, so in principle, i would say additionally that here it is necessary to bring an example of the application of the complex use of missiles atakams, storm shadow scalp missiles, reconnaissance bepols of ukraine, because of course these reconnaissance bpols perform the function of guidance and help. knock out important objects in the temporarily, temporarily occupied crimea. ugh. well, mr. anatoly, the f-16, which is probably finally, finally at the disposal of our state. so much has already been said, said in

anticipation of receiving these planes, said even this week as we discuss, and even talking about certain pictures that may indicate that they are already in our sky and f16, their number, how much will be available to us, as a state and our military, all the functionality that the f-16 aircraft can provide? well, again, let's start with the fact that with regard to those letters regarding assistance from our western partners, regarding the armament of the aircraft that will be provided with these aircraft, unfortunately, there are no jason missiles that can fly on the news yet. more than 100 km, ie. up to 1000 km, i apologize, but as for other weapons, these are air-to-air, air -to-air and surface-to-air missiles and aerial bombs, which will allow to 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 the launch of the same anti-radar missiles to destroy the enemy's air defense, and a... 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 previously also used on mik-29 aircraft, but what it should be noted here that the planes were converted so that it was possible to use american weapons, so now there will be a full implementation functionality, that is, we are talking about... that the weapons will be used from the planes for which they are in principle was foreseen and developed, and therefore, in principle , the range of possibilities is expanding here, and i would not pay attention, for example, to the remark that ukrainian f-16s will be able to fly

only 40 km to the line of combat or to the border with the russian federation, everyone will be... they will not fall under the possibility of defeating russian air defense equipment. it should be noted that if the task is carried out, of course, the air defense is destroyed first. as for the 40-kilometer zone, 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 further into the temporarily occupied territory or in... the territory of russia federation, but here it should be noted that we still need permission from our western partners to use certain types of weapons on the territory of the russian federation, because in principle there are permissions from our western partners to use aircraft on the territory of the russian

federation and over the territory of the russian federation, but nevertheless, the nomenclature of weapons should be increased and the geography of strikes should be increased, of course we are very qualitative... we work with our disembodied aviation systems at russian airfields, at russian oil depots, but everything still agree, 450 kg of payload in a rocket is much better than what we can do with... our unmanned systems, which can, well, up to 100 kg. also today, the general staff reported that it was possible to hit the morozovsk airfield in the russian federation, and it is likely that we are talking about the liquidation of a warehouse with guided aerial bombs. and the issue of cabs, well, unfortunately, we well understand what it means for the front line, what it means for our military. moreover, this... even our more remote cities already know, and in kharkiv oblast this is demonstrated, as well as in

kherson oblast, very vividly, unfortunately. nevertheless, the attack on the russian airfield is not the first precedent, can we talk 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 damage to directly important objects. here i would pay attention. that in fact ukraine has chosen the right path in terms of building any systems against unmanned aircraft, this is one sortie, one hit, one sortie and qualitatively collected intelligence information, that is, we are talking about the fact that the main emphasis in the creation of unmanned aircraft systems, which are currently being put before the manufacturers in ukraine, before the engineers, is a high-quality high-tech tool that can be guaranteed to fulfill the task of a fighter one hundred percent . before him is either to gather the necessary intelligence information one hundred percent or

to point the same other bopals in real time at important objects on the territory of the gorog, and therefore, in principle, if we are talking about what is happening this year, let's remember the strike on the millerov airfield, and morozovsky has already been struck several times and strikes on important objects on the territory of the airfield are usually used. of course , we are all waiting to finally see the torn-up planes, the dug-up airstrip, but there are strikes on important strategic objects, if we are talking about morozov, these were warehouses with fuel materials, these were directly warehouses with weapons, millerovo was blow as well as on warehouses, 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 serves as a bridge. in terms of maintenance and quick repair and quick repair of even aircraft

in order to use them in the future on the line of battle, in principle, it was in millerovo that the technical unit was hit, 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 akhtivnost airfield is an airfield that the russians use to test the latest weapons. that is, we are talking about the fact that at one time these same ipc modules for cruise bombs and the kh69 missile, which the russian federation recently appeared, were tested there, as well as the kh101, kh 555 missiles were tested there at one time. and in principle, we say that it was there that aircraft 157 was directly hit, most likely with some kind of upgraded or some modernized equipment, which russia planned in the future to use it against ukraine, but nevertheless... there are important strikes on important objects on the territory of the russian federation, and according to the analysis of some

of your colleagues, the morozovsk airfield is regularly occupied by su and 24, 24m and su- 34, maybe even a few su-35, and here, mr. anatoly, i have a question for you: su-35 vs. f-16, how soon and, well, let's say, which one. cut , we can witness such a dogfight, a dogfight between these aircraft, although we understand that so far the f-16 is, well on strengthening our air defense forces so that we defend ourselves first, but everything is ahead, and you know, sometimes when we watch some american films there, we wonder why the characters are fighting each other with fists, when everyone has a gun, yes, that's it... let's go back to the fact that modern dogfights exclude the possibility of visual contact, why?

because most radar equipment on airplanes allows you to see any aerial object at a distance of more than 200 km, that is, we say that you can seize a target in advance, launch a missile and be sure that this target will be destroyed. therefore, i am more than sure that the russian su-34, su-35, su-30 aircraft will be afraid to come close to the strike zone of the f-16 aircraft, and 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 somewhat modernized, improved and... attempts to make high-tech weapons, let's not forget that the soviet the union also stole most of its military developments from our western partners, therefore, in principle, i am more than sure that there will not be a confrontation of such visual contact in any case, but taking into account the possibility of f-16 aircraft, taking into account the same aim missiles 120, which can work at a distance of 185 +m, that is, it should be noted that 100

plus means that it is possible to work at greater distances. therefore , i think that russian planes will have to work harder and they probably won't to enter the zone of possible actions of f-16 aircraft radars. it should also not be forgotten that we are expecting saab long-range radiation detection aircraft, and here we can say that due to the single protocol on which these aircraft work, it will be possible to count on the fact that any air targets that will hit within a radius of 550 km, the saab aircraft can be equally affected by f16 aircraft. so in my opinion, again, in any case, the f-16s are going to perform much better than we expect sima to, because basically the plane was pretty well made with great resource and great features. it should not be forgotten that they have been modernized many times and this

is the most common aircraft that is actively used by the majority. of the air force, regarding russian aircraft, well here in principle, let's remember that in fact, at the komsomolsk plant on the amur river, at the dry plant , there are about 30 135 aircraft that cannot take to the sky, because most of the electronics that this aircraft needs it is under sanctions, they cannot receive it, that's why they are trying to do something with what they have now, and again, let's remember that most of the aircraft that russia is producing now for tactical... these are aircraft 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, just briefly, as a brief comment, 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 - 420. six , all that, well, most of what the russians released our air defense forces, of course, destroyed. 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 competent base, and here it should be noted that ukraine is now able to provide the armed forces of ukraine with all high-tech weapons, such as drones of any type. also means of anti-electronic warfare, of course, is needed good financing for manufacturers to make was predictability of purchases, manufacturers could operate at full throttle of their production. thank you, anatoliy khrabchinsky, deputy general director of the company engaged in radio electronic warfare, an aviation expert was in touch with us, well, we move on to the next important question, what

is happening in the united states, at what stage is the election race there, and oleksandr kraev, director of the northern program, is in touch with us. ukrainian foreign policy council prism, americanist. congratulations oleksandr, glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. good evening to you. well, we can say that kamala harris is becoming a delegate for the democrats in this presidential election, am i correct? yes, it is absolutely true, that is, the democrats who defend the right to advance voting in official presidential elections, who defend such a right at the level of congressional elections, are in principle so ahead. voting is also used at the democratic party's own congress, so in fact it can already be clearly said that kamala harris is for secured a sufficient number of delegates to become a presidential candidate from the democratic party. 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 are talking about scales scales, which ones, in what disposition is the situation now, mr. oleksandr? in fact, so far those preliminary polls, which were before the nomination of kamala harris as the official candidate for the presidency, well, let's say, they are not for us extremely precise for one simple reason: we still haven't seen her team, we still haven't seen her vice president, we haven't seen her clearly formed certain strategy in any zones. no internal politics, and therefore one way or another, but so that we understand that the polls give a clearer result, that the poll is really created on the basis of the fact that the people who... drink, they know what this candidate will do, what he has views on certain problems of domestic and foreign policy, then you and i will be able to clearly say that it is panic harris or mr. trump

are ahead of each other by such and such percentages, and this is indeed verified leadership. at the moment, we are rather talking about a trend, but the trend that is emerging is very interesting. kamala harris was able to gain such a percentage of american support in just three weeks of the campaign, at least in the context of the trend, which... prevails over the previous year of work of donald trump's pr and political technology company and the same time of work of almost joseph biden's campaign, which indicates to us that here not so much a question specifically about haris, not so much a question specifically about who she is and what she represents, the question is that she represents change, her last name is not biden and not trump, she is a young politician who will change this establishment, and accordingly, such an increase in her rating indicates to us not only her success, but rather the. .. the fact that there is a request for young leadership, mr. oleksandr, and how careless statements affect kamala haris’s chances in general, i don’t know if this

is about caution or if it is about sincere, you know, the inner firmware and opinion of the leader from of donald trump's republicans when he resorts to such rhetorical figures as generally analyzing the color of her skin, for example, or her position. how does this affect the race as a whole, when he resorts to statements that refer to the religious affiliations of americans? well, you know, for those who are already ready to vote for trump, for his nuclear electorate, this once again confirms why he should be president, because this is how he remembers, in the year 16, he appealed to this : i'm an honest man, that's exactly how i'll talk to you. open: yes, i'm a billionaire, yes, i didn't pay taxes, i cheated the system, but i'm honest about it, i'm not like those washingtonians in suits who sit and tell you how

to live, i'll honestly show you how to become as rich and successful as i am, and what he allows himself now, what in america is called racial slur, that is, degrading racist rhetoric, what he allows himself to treat himself with such pathos, but at the same time to humiliate one's own opponents, and also to appeal to religious topics, moreover appeal is not always quite successful, it should be said, it just shows that he is campaigning on his own behalf, he is not trying to win new voters, he is not trying to please those who do not support him at the moment, he is sure that he will have enough votes from his electorate, he is sure that they will vote for him, because it is him, which means that he can say whatever he wants, he does not need to make excuses, but nevertheless, this means that he can hardly ... claim the votes of those who would somehow fluctuate, because if we are talking about the united states and americans in general, issues of skin color, religious preferences

are very sensitive topics, and to go so far in using, again, these rhetorical figures, as donald trump did, is unlikely to reflect so well on his ratings, among again those who have not yet decided. or even against him at all, right? absolutely right, you're right, he, i think he realizes that he's not going to win over these people, these people are already giving their votes to kamala harris because she represents first of all, not by skin color or ethnicity or whatever, it represents their request, their request for a different leadership, for leadership that neither trump nor biden, it represents what they want to see in american politics, youth, determination, initiative and inclusion. therefore, trump really, well, he simply, put it this way, physiologically has no chance to fight for this audience. trump's logic is slightly different. let's remember how he won in the 16th year. in the 16th year, he

lost the national election by several million votes voting. but he won in key states, and he won the necessary amount of support in the electoral college. and in fact , now trump's bet is just to win a sufficient part of the support of the electoral college. it doesn't matter to him that the conditional 5, 8, 10 million americans there support kamala harris more than trump, it doesn't matter to him that independent voters won't vote for him, it might be important to him to win key states, and plus, let's put it this way, he seems to me analyzes statistics well, because let's not forget that the board 78% of the electorate is more likely to be represented by donald trump's generation than by the generations and groups represented by kamala harris, so he's not only hoping to win key states, he's... hoping that at the very least he can appeal to voters and create what is known as an electoral college rebellion when they vote differently than their states did.

vp of eh from kamala harris, or on the kamala harris team, how is that, first of all, considering all the candidates, now the most likely, uh, how does that affect the chances candidates from the democrats and whether it can at least in some configuration affect the chances of donald trump. you know, it's pretty easy to say here, because of the five key candidates, they all have a few key things in common. they are all white men. uh, middle aged, plus or minus older, with a lot of experience in federal politics, with a lot of experience in local politics, most of them are either affiliated with the jewish lobby or part of the jewish minority in the united states, most of them represent, or rather, how all of them represent the moderate wing of the democratic party, and this is key for kamala, after all , she still has a train of socialism behind her, she

is still a representative of more... circles of the democratic party, those who are called progressives, well, according to european political parameters, this is what we called social democrats, and therefore, in order to unite the party around itself, so that there is really no question about its impartiality, it needs, it needs a vice president, which will represent the very center of the party. accordingly, this was one of the reasons why kamala hari once became the vice president. biden, who is the informal leader of just the centrists in the democratic party, needed someone to appeal to. young people and will appeal to progressives, i.e. to the left wing. and kamala harris became the one who embraced the socialists and progressives on the side of biden. now she has to turn this situation around. and with regard to trump, well , you know, it's not so much a question of how much vice president kamala will help, as a question of that's why vice president trump is currently drowning his ratings, because usually vice presidents are what is called a sweetener, that is, he shows

the president from a more positive side. he should appeal to a different group of voters and help the candidate get more votes, and now we see that the anti-rating within the republican party is minus 6%, that is, we are not talking about other voters, even within his own party, jay vance is far from the most popular, so actually more than anything it seems to me that trump will be hindered by his own vice president. well, actually, mr. vance didn't really hide his visions for donald. just a little earlier, i wonder why, why something changed and why donald trump himself could forget about it. mr. oleksandr, thank you for the quality analysis. as usual, oleksandr kraev, director of the north america program of the foreign policy council of ukrainian prism. americanist, and we will, of course, constantly return to the topic of the latest events of the pre-election race in the united states, so that it concerns the whole world and it directly concerns us. a short pause in the air now

and. let's continue: 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. shot. freedom life from. frankly and unbiased, you draw your own conclusions. we continue the saturday political club, don't worry, in the near future you will be expecting an analyst from vitaly portnikov, who will join very soon, but for now we have the opportunity to talk with experts about those events that can change

the situation in some. regions on the world map, a little more detail about the middle east in the next few minutes. i would like to remind you that these days it was restless in iran, well, first of all, because literally on july 30 he was sworn in there after early presidential elections, after the death of the previous president raisi masoud pezeshkian, and here in the context of these events, these... events happened unexpectedly, although, for whom, israel actually reached out, reached out and quite effectively to one of the political leaders of the terrorist hamas, hamas, whose network is now and still based in the gaza sector , and that is why the operation of the israel defense forces in this sector continues.
