i am glad to congratulate, anatoliy hrabchynskyi, deputy general director of the company engaged in radio electronic warfare equipment and aviation expert, is on the phone with me 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... the average is engaged minus a caliber carrier, an underwater caliber carrier, as far as it is, well, it changes the situation a little 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, and therefore, in principle, there is only one minus, this is that we emphasize constantly, in relation to aircraft, that it must be destroyed immediately. platforms in order to

reduce the possibilities of, ah, so to speak, the use of any weapons that these aircraft or ships in this case may carry, i am once again pleased the destruction of the triumph launchers, these are systems that are included in 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 redeployed there and destroyed there, and this conveyor, in principle, is close to four, or more precisely, maybe five divisions of the c4 system, everything was destroyed directly in the crimea, so in principle i would say in addition that it is necessary to bring here, give an example of the application of complex application atakams missiles, stormshadow scalp missiles, ukrainian bepol reconnaissance missiles, because of course these reconnaissance bopol missiles perform a guidance function and help in... knocking out

important objects in the temporarily, temporarily occupied crimea. ugh. well, mr. anatoly f16, which is probably finally, finally at the disposal of our state, so much has already been said, said in anticipation of receiving these aircraft, 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, 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 in view of those letters, regarding the assistance from our western partners, regarding the weapons that will be provided with these aircraft, unfortunately, there are no jacinsu missiles that can fly in the fall. more than 100 km. excuse me, but with regard to other weapons -

these are air-to-air, air-to-air surface-to-air missiles 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 the launch of the same anti-radar missiles to destroy the enemy's air defense, and for... from air-to-air missiles, but those for interception air targets or to intercept 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 mik-29 aircraft, but what should be noted here, that the aircraft were converted so that it is possible to use american weapons, then there will now be a full implementation functionality, that is, we are talking about the fact that the weapons

will be used from the aircraft for which they were originally intended and developed, and therefore, in principle , the range is expanded here possibilities 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 contact or to the border with the russian federation, as if they will... so as not to fall under the possibility damage to 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 working 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 deeper.

territory of the russian federation, but here it should be noted that permission from our western partners is again required for use certain types of weapons on the territory of the russian federation, because in principle. there are permits from our western partners for the use of aircraft on the territory of the russian federation and over the territory of the russian federation, but still the range of weapons must be increased and the geography of strikes must be increased, of course we work very well with our disembodied aviation systems on russian airfields, on russian oil bases, but still agree, 450 kg of payload in a rocket is much better than what we can do with our... unmanned systems that can, well , carry up to 100 kg. and also today the general staff reported that it was possible to hit the morozovsk airfield in the russian federation, and we are probably talking about the liquidation of a warehouse with guided

aerial bombs. and the issue of cabs, well, unfortunately, we well understand what this means for the front line, what it means for our military, moreover, it is even... already known by our more rear cities, and it is demonstrated in kharkiv oblast, as well as on kherson region, very brightly, 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 like to point out that... indeed, ukraine has chosen the right path regarding the construction of any systems against unmanned aircraft. this is one sortie, one hit, one sortie and a qualitatively collected reconnaissance information. that is, we are talking about the fact that the main focus of the creation of unmanned aircraft systems, which are now being put before

manufacturers in ukraine, before engineers, is a high-quality high-tech tool that can be guaranteed to fulfill the task of a fighter in one hundred percent. it is worth, either one hundred percent to collect the necessary intelligence, or to direct the same other uavs in real time to important objects on the territory of the enemy, and therefore, in principle, if we talk about what is happening this year, then let let's recall the strike on the millerov airfield, and morozovsky has already been hit several times and strikes on important objects on the territory of the airfield are usually used. important strategic objects, if we are talking about morozovs, these were warehouses with fuel and lubricants, and these were directly warehouses with weapons, in millerovo there was also an attack on warehouses and

the technical part was also directly affected, it is an essential component of any airfield that is close to the combat reporting area and is performing a mission. regarding the maintenance and quick repair and quick repair of even aircraft in order to use them in the future on the battle line. in principle, it was 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 actually destroying the plane at the airfield here, by the way, the akhtivnost airfield is an airfield that the russians use for testing the newest types of weapons. then we are talking about the fact that at one time these same umpk modules for cruise bombs and the kh-69 missile, which was recently launched by the russian federation, were tested there, as well as the kh101 and kh 555 missiles were also tested there at one time. 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 russia planned to use against ukraine in the future, but nevertheless it was hit. important strikes on important objects on the territory of the russian federation, well , according to the analysis of some of your colleagues, the su and 24, 24m and su-34, maybe even several su-35, are regularly stationed at the morozovsk airfield, 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 air battle, an aerial battle between these aircraft, although we understand that so far f -16 is, well, to reinforce our air defense forces, so that we defend ourselves in the first queue, but everything is ahead, and you know, sometimes

when we watch some american movies there, we wonder why the characters are fighting with each other with their fists, when everyone has a gun, and that's it... let's go back to what that modern dogfights preclude 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. ugh. that is, we are talking about the fact that you can seize the 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 aircraft , which the russian federation has, this is 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 union also stole most of its military developments from our

western partners , so basically i'm more than i am sure that there will be no such visual contact confrontation in any case, but taking into account the possibility for such f-16s, taking into account the same aim 120 missiles that can work at a distance of 185 + km, that is, it should be noted plus this it is implied that it is possible to work at longer distances. therefore, i think that russian aircraft will have to work more difficult and they will probably not enter the zone of possible actions of the radar equipment of f-16 aircraft. it should also not be forgotten that we are expecting a long-haul saab aircraft detection, and here we can say that due to the single protocol on which these aircraft operate, it will be possible to count on the fact that any air targets that will fall within a radius of 550 km ... of the saab aircraft can be so itself hit by f-16s. 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 a lot of resource and a lot of capabilities. it should not be forgotten that they are repeated were modernized and this is the most common aircraft that is actively used in most of the air forces. as for russian planes, well here in principle, let's remember that in fact there are about 30 so-35 planes at the komsomolsk plant on the amur, at the dry plant, which cannot take to the sky, because most of the electronics that this plane needs , it's 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 currently produced by russia for tactical aviation. these are aircraft that were ordered by the ministry of defense of the russian federation back in 18-19. so. and

i am asking you, mr. anatoly , to make 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 russian - 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 such as drones of any type, also. means of electronic warfare, of course, you need good funding for manufacturers to be able to make, there was

predictability of purchases, manufacturers could to work at full speed with your production. thank you, anatoliy khrabchinsky, deputy general director of the company dealing with the means of radio-electronic warfare, the 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 with we are in touch with oleksandr kraev, director of the north america program. council of foreign policy ukrainian 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, absolutely true, that is , the democrats who defend the right to advance voting in official presidential elections as well, who defend such a right at the level of congressional elections, in principle, they also use such advance... voting at their own congress of the democratic party, so

in essence already now we can clearly say that this is how kamala harist secured a sufficient number of delegates to become a candidate for presidents from the democratic party. well, as far as we understand, little by little ms. kamala is depriving donald trump, her republican competitor, of the advantage in seven key states so far. at least this is what a bloomberg survey suggests. if... we are talking about terezy shawls, which ones, in what disposition is the situation now, mr. oleksandr? in fact, so far those preliminary polls that were before the nomination. kamala harris is the official candidate for the presidency, well, let's just say, they are not completely accurate for us from one simple reasons: we still haven't seen her team, we still haven't seen her vice president, we haven't seen her clearly formed strategy either in foreign policy or in domestic policy, and therefore one way or another, but so that we understand that the polls give the result

is clearer, that the poll is really 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 what if panik harris or there mr. trump are ahead of one one on such-and-such percentages, and it really is a verified leadership. at the moment, we are rather talking about a trend, but the trend that is emerging is very interesting. in just three weeks of the campaign, kamala harris was able to gain such a percentage of american support, at least in the context of the trend, which respects... that here is not so much a question specifically about haris, not so much a question specifically about who she is and what she is 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, this increase in her ratings tells us not only that she is successful, but rather that there is a demand on young leadership, mr. alexander, and how do careless statements affect kamala harris’s chances in general, i don’t know if it’s about caution, or if it’s about sincere, you know, the inner firmware and opinion of the republican leader donald trump, when he succeeds to such rhetorical figures as generally an analysis of her skin color, for example, or her positioning. himself, when he resorts to wording that deals with the religious affiliations of americans, how it all affects the overall race, you know, for those who are already ready to vote for trump, for his nuclear electorate, it reaffirms why he has to be the president, because that's how he remembers, in the 16th year he

appealed to it, i'm an honest man, that's exactly the wording, i'll talk to you from... yes, i'm a billionaire, yes, i didn't pay taxes , i cheated this system, but i'm honest about it, i'm not like those washington suits sitting around telling you how to live, i'm honestly going to show you how you can become as rich and successful as i am, and what he allows himself what in america is called a racial slur, i.e. humiliating racist rhetoric, the fact that he allows himself to treat himself with such pathos, but at the same time humiliate his own opponents and... also appeal to religious topics, and appeal is not always quite successful, it is worth it to say, it just shows that he is campaigning on his own behalf, he is not trying to win over new voters, he is not trying to please those who do not support him at the moment, he is confident that he will have enough votes from his electorate, he is confident that he will be voted for , because it's him, which means he can say

whatever he wants, he doesn't need to make excuses, but nevertheless, it means that he can hardly... claim the votes of those who would otherwise hesitate somehow, because if we are talking about the united states and americans in general, the question of her skin color, religious preferences are very sensitive topics and to go so far in using these rhetorical figures again, as donald trump has gone, it is unlikely to reflect so well on his ratings, again among those who are still undecided . you are against him at all, right? absolutely right, you are right, he, i think he realizes that he will not be able to win over these people, these people are already giving their votes to kamala harris, because she represents them, first of all, not by skin color or ethnicity or something , she represents their demand, their demand for a different leadership, for leadership that neither trump nor

biden, she represents what they want to see in american politics, youth, determination, initiative and inclusion. therefore, trump really, well, he simply, let's say, 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 '16 he lost the overall national vote by several million votes, but he won key states and he won the necessary numbers support in the electoral college. and in fact, now trump's bet is precisely to win a sufficient part of the support of the electoral college. it doesn't matter to him that there are five conditionals. more americans support kamala harris than trump, he doesn't care that independent voters won't vote for him, he cares about winning key states, and plus, let's just say, he's... i think he's good at analyzing statistics, because let 's not forget, that the electoral college is 78% more likely to be represented by donald trump's generation than by generations and groups that

is represented by kamala harris, so he 's not only hoping to win key states, he's hoping that he can ultimately appeal to voters and create what's known as an electoral college rebellion when they don't vote the way their states did, vice -president... by kamala harris or on the kamala harris team, how is that, first, considering all the candidates now most likely, how might that affect the chances of the democratic candidate and could it at least in some configuration affect the donald trump's chances. 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're all white men. 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, well, like all of they 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 the more left. circles of the democratic party, those who call themselves 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 really was no question about its impartiality, it a necessary vice-president is needed, who will represent precisely the center of the party. accordingly, this was one of the reasons why kamala harry once became the vice president. biden, who is the informal leader of the centrists in the democratic party, he needed someone who would appeal to the youth. and will appeal to progressives, that is, to the left wing. and kamala haris became the one who embraced the socialists and progressives on the side of biden. now she has to

turn this situation around. and as for trump, well , you know, it's not so much a question of how much vice president kamala will help, but a question of how much vice president trump is sinking his ratings right now, because usually vice presidents are what they call sweetener, switner, that is, he will show the president from a more positive side. he should appeal to another group of voters and help the candidate win more votes, and now we see that the anti-rating within the republican party is 6%. that is, we are not talking about other voters, even within his own party, jadi vance is far from the most popular, so in fact , i think trump will be hindered most of all by his own vice president. well, actually, mr. vance didn't really hide his visions about donald trump. 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 always

oleksandr kraev, director of the north america program of the council of foreign policy ukrainian prism americanist, and of course we will constantly return to the topic of the latest events of the election race in the united states, because it concerns the whole world, and it directly concerns us. a short pause in the air now and... the war continues, and not only for territories, it is also a war for minds. we are engaged in propaganda. russia is throwing millions of petrodollars into turning ukrainians into little russians. ukraine will become russia. countering russian information attacks in the chronicles of information war project with olga len. tuesday-thursday at 17:15, repeat, tuesday-friday at 22:00. 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 the events that can change the situation in certain regions on the world map, a little more detail about the middle east - in the next few minutes, let me remind you that iran was restless these days, well , first of all, because, on july 30, he was sworn in after the early presidential elections after the death of the previous president raisi masoud pezeshkiyan, and in the context of these events, ceremonial events, something unexpected happened, although. as 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 strip, and that is why the israel defense forces' operation in this sector continues, in particular to liberate its own hostages. mykhailo yakubovych, orientalist, candidate of historical sciences, researcher at the oriental studies department of the university of freiburg in germany, is in touch with us. mr. mykhailo, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, good evening. bright a precedent, the killing in tehran of the leader of hamas, and this is a very point-blank elimination that israel succeeded. first the question asked, in particular, by the common man: how will this affect the effectiveness of the activities of the terrorist group hamas? well, first of all, israel did not directly take responsibility for this action, although, is it

only israel? did not go without the help of other parties, this question, here, by the way, it happened at the time when hannia came to the inauguration of the new president of iran, which is also, by the way, quite interesting, since he was positioned by some iranian circles as such a reformer , a person who will go to a dialogue with by the west, the new iranian president was actually given such a status that he immediately has to start with what raisi finished, i.e. talking about the need for a tough policy, a response to the fight against israel, the fight against america, that is, in essence, the iranian elite took advantage of many things in order to immediately put the new president in the place assigned to him by the yatola, israel here, by the way, played well with him in this. if we talk about ghaniya, then ghaniya arrived in qatar and they are also burying him in qatar, he arrived from qatar and

he is buried there. in qatar, obviously israel would not want to do this, as it would not want to spoil relations with arab countries, but, to be honest, hannia has already got many, like hamas himself, and the saudis, and the emiratis, and the qataris, for many this situation in the sector gaza, well, relatively speaking, is a big problem that we want to end, and on the one hand, israel continues the negotiations, not agreeing to the terms of hamas, even today a delegation from... arrived in cairo for negotiations, that is, hamas, which is very interesting, did not leave absolutely out of negotiation and if from a position of strength it would be worth doing it, well, how do you kill our leader and negotiate with you here, that is, we see that even the other day israel conducted many successful operations, that is, when netanyahu announced that hamas will be destroyed as an organization, many people expressed doubts about this, they say that it will not be possible to completely destroy it, somewhere there will be some

kind of reconciliation, after all, no... way, not without the help, of course, of its western partners, it is conducting this policy, it is difficult to predict what will happen next , but obviously now the situation will shift a little from the gas sector to lebanon, because taking into account the latest reports, the iranian response will be through lebanon and there are already calls for citizens to leave beirut, and the north of israel. the same huge evacuation of the population was carried out and continues to be carried out, and that is, this confirms the predictions expressed by some analysts that a huge, large-scale conflict with lebanon is being prepared for the fall, when israel managed to weaken hamas in many ways in the gaza sector, to derail the situation there, now well, the time has come to give a proper answer to hezbollah and hezbollah is also preparing for this conflict,

that is, we can... wait for the opening of the second front, although whether the hostilities there will reach the scale of 2006 with such full-fledged airstrikes in the south of lebanon, well, that is also a question, although in the future, if not in the next month , then this year, i think, this can be expected, because without the removal of the threat from hezbollah, well, to speak of any security in israel, it is hardly possible, and even more so, strikes on lebanon, they will be perceived completely differently than strikes on the sector gas, even in arabic with the public, because hands hezbollah, it does not have as many supporters in the arab countries as hamas did, because hamas is such a sunni movement that was associated with the muslim brothers, it turned out that, well, the palestinians, the indigenous population of the region.
