are they preparing for war with the russian federation and what is the current mood in poland? they understand that russia is their greatest enemy, and representatives of both the government and the opposition understand this, there is such an understanding. are they ready for war, do they believe in it? i think that they are careless about their own future and our common future, relying only on the armed forces of ukraine and the fact that putin will not move them, because they are members of nato. i think for him it's like... there are no limits, so from my point of view from poland's point of view, it is necessary to cooperate more actively with ukraine, take care of its own security, the security of the european continent, and realize that nothing will stop putin, not even poland's membership in nato. is poland ready for this? i have the impression that it is not over yet. they think about it, but they hope that somehow it will not affect them, but it can affect them very much. and the poles also reacted to zelensky's statement. about the fact that

kyiv really needs the polish migo 29, because they are well equipped, and ukraine is not with them will spend time training pilots, polish defense minister władysław kosyniak kamysz said that warsaw will be able to hand over its mig-29s to kyiv only after receiving a more modern replacement, quoting mr. kosyniak kamysz. i know that ukraine needs a lot of weapons, but on... partners from ukraine must also understand that the polish state must maintain its capabilities, and this is a priority for me as the minister of defense. mr. mykola, after andrzej dud's last visit, the last visit to ukraine, is it possible? to say that all the misunderstandings that existed between ukraine and poland, which we observed during the last year, that they are, in principle, already gone... are a thing of the past, well, i

definitely welcome the visit of the polish president, especially on the day of independence, for us it is extraordinary it is important, but you have to realize for yourself that poland is a democratic country, there is a government there, the president is in opposition to the government, all polish political forces are on the side of ukraine in this war, maybe with the exception of some small pro-russian parties there, which do not make any noise in polish politicians, should there be more cooperation between ukraine and poland, yes. at the same time, i assure you that if you talk to the military, for our defense, if we are talking about repair companies, hubs, participation in the restoration of our equipment, in its supply, poland does the most of all european countries, they do a lot for they do this, it must be realized, it is clear that we would like them to do this more, there are many challenges before us in our relationship, because in addition to security challenges, there are also challenges related to our european integration, there are... challenges

related to the border, to agriculture, these challenges are extremely numerous with historical politics in the end, but our responsibility and the responsibility of polish politicians, sober, sober-minded, who see our common future in to overcome all the problems posed by these challenges and to jointly be the biggest ally in the european union, i think it will be so. thank you, mr. mykola, for the conversation, it was mykola knyazhytskyi, people's deputy of ukraine. friends, we can go on... to work live on the tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms, for those who are currently watching us live on these platforms, please subscribe to our pages and also take part in our survey, today we ask you about , are you ready to give up or have already given up telegram, yes no, everything is quite simple on youtube, if you have your own separate opinion, please write it in the comments under this video, if you watch us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote for the numbers if you... are ready

to give up the telegram platform 0800 211381 no 0800 211 382 all calls to these numbers are free vote at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote further contact us bohdan dolintse aviation expert and manager aviation sector. mr. bohdan, i congratulate you, thank you for joining our broadcast. congratulations! well, first of all, let's talk about the f-16, because after... the presentation of these aircraft, it was not clear for a long time whether they fly in the sky of ukraine or not, and we saw that on the day of the air force, these planes were shown, as they are already in the ukrainian army, and zelenskyi said that during the massive russian attack on ukraine on august 26, f-16 planes took part in repelling the... air attack, let's listen to

what zelensky said, f16 is a very, very good result, a lot of people talked about it, but... already within the framework of this huge missile attack, we shot down some missiles with the help of 16 and we thank our partners for giving us this f-16. of course, this will not be enough, we have them not much, and we still need to train pilots. mr. bohdana, how can you measure the effectiveness of the f-16 in ukraine? yes, well , look, first of all we have to understand that it will be practically impossible to separate the work of v-16 exclusively from the general complex air defense system today, because the information is, unfortunately, in limited access, and perhaps fortunately, here , and it is clear that without internal

information about the specific number of aircraft launches and downed targets, it will be difficult to assess their effectiveness, however, we we can still try to evaluate this effectiveness by certain such e... related signs, that is, first of all, of course, this is the number of launched, the number of destroyed targets, that is, if we start there from the data for august 26, that is, that more than two hundred targets of various types were fired there, and first of all we are talking about cruise missiles and kamikaze drones, here, because we have to understand, the aviation component, it cannot destroy ballistic missiles, that is, there are no such aircraft and weapons that can intercept ballistic missiles, i.e.... planes can destroy only subsonic cruise missiles and corresponding drones of the drone type kamikat the shaket, then analyzing exactly these components of the attacks on the 26th, we see that in general, 90% of all launched drones were destroyed by drones

corresponding cruise missiles to sound, this percentage reaches almost 95%. well, in order to understand what has changed, we need to look. at least similar attacks in previous periods, it is clear that similar attacks mainly occurred in 22-23 year, so we see that there the rate of destruction of enemy targets was usually from 50 to 70, in extreme cases 80%. here, nevertheless, we understand that of course this result that we have in recent days is not only f16, it is including the western air defense platforms, i.e. nasam, sayrist, patriot, etc., here, therefore, it is also necessary after all, look at the data, for example, two months ago, and there we see, there when a small number of drones are launched, then up to 50, as a rule, percent the destruction there is up to 100%, but as a rule, when there are more of these drones, the percentage already decreases, but as

a rule it varied there by about 80-85% for drones, and if we talk about cruise missiles there, then as a rule it was 80.90% there, that is , based on these data, we see that as of august 26, despite a much larger attack, the percentage of destroyed air targets increased significantly, in some cases by 5%, in some by 10-15%, but we understand that this is still the merit of not only some planes or individual air defense complexes, this is the merit of the entire multi-layer air defense system built in... ukraine, that is, with the arrival of the f-16 in ukraine, our air defense has become much stronger than it was until now, correct, to put it briefly, absolutely correct , and most likely, today our air defense is probably one of the most effective in terms of the number of

enemy targets hit, probably than any air defense in the world. meanwhile president zelenskyi said that ukraine continues to develop. its military-industrial complex and has already created its first ballistic missile, he stated this during a conversation with journalists at a press conference on august 27, let's listen to what zelensky said: what are the other achievements of ukraine, well, i thought it was too early to talk about it, but i would like society to appreciate this, precisely our people who work 24/7 at defense enterprises. there was a positive test of the first ukrainian ballistic missile, i congratulate ours on this defense-industrial complex, mr. bohdan, are we now talking about this sapsan project, which

was once 80% ready back in the days when taran was the minister of defense, and we remember that this project was frozen in 2013 under yanukovych. and export, the export name of this project was called grym-2, and this project is already more than a dozen years old, is zelensky talking about it now? well, look, we have to remember that even before sapsan there was another complex called, if i'm not mistaken, borys fen, which became the base for creation of the falcon in the future, then modernization to grym-2, but if we talk about the creation of ballistic missiles in particular, we must understand that after the 1990s there was only one ballistic missile in service in ukraine, it was a missile of the point y complex, later, in 2020, the neptune sea-based missile actually appeared, but it

was still not the so-called operational-tactical missile complex, which is most likely what we are talking about today, and we must understand that creation from scratch of a completely new missile complex, well, this is only the design part, which takes about five to seven years, and then all this transformation into serial production takes another two to three years, and we have at least 10 years from the start of work to... . the creation of the first serial samples, this is in the case when all the stars have aligned there, everything is there, there is no shortage and there are no, for example, security risks, therefore, taking into account that ukraine already had some experience in creating an operational-tactical project missile complex, the most expedient and fastest option was, of course , to continue the development of those developments that already existed, and based on this, one can clearly conclude that if ukraine received its own... complex, then this or the complex is already completed the sapsanchim 2 complex, or

it is some other complex under a different name, but built in principle on the basis of these developments, and if zelensky says that the first test passed, does this mean that we will see how these ballistic missiles will be tested on the territory of the russian federation, and what it can be, what distance it can be. at which ballistic missiles can be launched? well, look, there are different types of classes of ballistic missiles, here specifically, if we talk about based on the characteristics of the same grim-2 complex, then for the expert version it was about 300 km, this is because ukraine was part of the so-called non-proliferation treaty short- medium-range missiles, and that is, it did not have the right to sell longer-range complexes, that's it the second component is the so-called already whole... for internal use, which provided for a range of at least 500 km, but

we must understand that, after all, such complexes, they can be modernized, can be increased, for example, the part itself is connected precisely with fuel tanks, that is , due to, for example, reducing the warhead, or certain optimizations for the missile itself, which can quickly increase the radius of this missile to the conventional 800 km there. which is in principle acceptable, well, that is, from the borders of ukraine with can this rocket safely fly through russia and to moscow, let's say to red square? well, look, basically, we understand that the estimate is up to 500 km, when the complex was laid out and designed, it was laid down for the same reason, so as not to create such questions once again because of worries in moscow, but today we understand that there are already such there are no questions that would make us... think about any worries of moscow, so it is clear that we can create missiles with a longer

range, if we talk about 800 km, then this is exactly the range that is necessary for to reach most of the key military infrastructure facilities on the territory of moscow. zelensky boasted about another development, a rocket, a polyanytsia drone, and this project has been implemented for the past year and a half, it is said that this... this drone is launched from the ground, and to achieve a long range it is equipped with a turbojet engine, if possible, tell me, here what changes in the russian-ukrainian war, the existence of such a drone missile, because i understand this complex sapsan in order for serial production to start large-scale production as well, it really takes a lot of time, safety moments, finances... with the palyanitsa, everything will be much easier, or am i wrong, well, look, if

we talk directly about the palyanitsa, then in principle, starting from those characteristics that have already been voiced, that is , it is the use of a turbojet engine, which gives us the opportunity to estimate the speed of such a weapon of the order of 300 to 600 km, as a rule, for turbojet engines, the speed is, as well as the list of targets shown on the map, which can... offend, that is, here, as a rule, we are talking about a range of 500, and maybe even more kilometers, and of course there were certain different assessments of experts who estimated that the combat part of the warehouse... there is up to 50 kg, however, according to these characteristics, in fact, this means of defeat, although it has certain characteristics with drones, but it is still closer to the so-called cruise missiles, it probably corresponds to the class of such light or ultralight cruise missiles, here, although of course it can use

some elements of the drone, although the cruise missiles today, including those launched by russia, they use a large number. means that are included in drones, including navigation systems, including optical guidance systems, and of course it can be launched both from the ground and, for example, from the air, that is, in principle, this is not an exception, that is why there with this means of destruction, i would probably classify it more as such an ultra-light cruise missile, here is the second important component of the means of destruction, we still have to understand that it... cannot be compared with ballistic missiles, because here there is also a different amount of useful weight, that is , the warhead itself, which can be delivered, it is also a different speed, that is, a ballistic missile in principle to date, the russians can only intercept with complexes of the s300, s400, s500 type, here, other means of defeat will be practically ineffective against such e-e ballistic missiles, as for the e means of defeat

of the polyanitsa type, then we already understand that these same complexes are also effective , but... there their spectrum will be a little wider, several soviet complexes can be added there, but at the same time high speed, as a rule, the use of a turbojet engine leads to the fact that it is completely ineffective to shoot down such weapons, for example, with helicopters or anti-aircraft guns, due to the high speed , the operators simply do not have time to catch up with them or target them, that is, we will be talking about the fact that the russians will only be able to counter with anti-aircraft missile systems against such... means of destruction, another important component, high speed, does not always allow the russians to detect these means of destruction in time and take measures to minimize the consequences, that is, we understand that there the flight time is about an hour, maybe an hour and a half, that is, this it may not always be enough even to relocate the planes or protect them at certain airfields that may be targets for such

a means of impression, i.e. ukraine may strike airfields, military units, according to processing plant, well, that is, any targets that are military targets on the territory of the russian federation, and obviously, in this way, ukraine compensates for this prohibition of our western partners to attack precisely on the territory of the russian federation, does it not make sense to compare the pyalanitsa with atakams there, because atakams is still a serious enough weapon, a fast weapon that would allow very quickly. put the russian federation in its place? well, look, you can't compare ballistic weapons with cruise weapons, they are completely different classes, it different types of power, that is, we understand that atakams can have a cluster warhead, can have a fragmentation or armor-piercing part directly there, that is, for the destruction of protected bunkers or shelters, it is clear that

a clearing without such weight, and this, as a rule, is there if the clearing is up to 50 kg, then there is a combat unit. rocketcoms, as a rule, it can weigh up to 500 kg, from 200 to 500 depending on the type of warhead, and these are, of course , different classes of weapons, closer to polyanytsa there are actually cruise missiles of the skalf or stormshadow type, but they are still such medium or heavy missiles, because the warhead there is about 200 kg, that's the first important component, the second important component is that they can carry a so-called penetrating warhead, that is, they can penetrate similarly protected bunkers or penetrate into... buildings to be blown up later, here is a clearing with a drone, as far as we understand, there we are talking about a much simpler and lighter type of ammunition, but nevertheless, of course, it can surgically affect certain critical objects, that is, we understand that a bunker is such a drone or super light a cruise missile will not be able to destroy or hit, but it will be able to destroy aircraft, for example, in open parking lots, warehouses with ammunition, or some

critical military infrastructure, such as oil refineries that make fuel for tanks. and planes, it can hit absolutely effectively, and by the way, the russians will not have any means of defense against such drones, because to put a multi-layered anti-aircraft missile defense system near each oil refinery is a completely unrealistic target. thank you, mr. bohdan, for the conversation, it was bohdan dolintse, aviation expert and manager of the aviation sector, friends, we continue to work live on the tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who are watching us live now, on these platforms, please vote in our poll, today we ask you this, are you ready to give up the telegram platform, so yes, no. no, everything is quite simple on youtube, yes no, or your own opinion, separate opinion, please write in the comments under this video, if you watch us on tv, take it in your hands smartphone or phone and vote on

the numbers 0800 211 381, if you are ready to give up telegram, or have already given up and not 0800 211 382, ​​all calls to these numbers are free, vote, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote, then we have contact mykola. husband, general of the army of ukraine, head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine in 2005-10, adviser to the president of ukraine. mr. general, i welcome you, thank you for being with us today. congratulations, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. mr. general, let's start ours a conversation about the kurdish operation, the kurdish breakthrough, the kurdish counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine. what do you think ukraine is striving for in this? military operations, and how can russia respond to this? well, first of all, we are talking about other approaches, this is what

we have been discussing in our broadcasts for a long time, this is a change in the strategy of waging war, one of the active elements that the enemy does not expect: russia has imposed a constantly protracted war on us along the entire front, 11 sectors where it attacks systematically, such as pokrovsky, kramatorsk, taretsky other directions. and it is clear that in this way they tried to wear out our forces, gradually occupy individual settlements and move on, seizing donetsk, luhansk region, they had long foreseen that it was necessary to act, as putin likes to say asymmetrically, but from our side, this is a new strategy of striking at the enemy, and this is on the territory of the russian federation, in those directions where the enemy is not in the vicinity of the occupied territories, and this can be complex actions, therefore in... in a twist - this is one of the elements of a large-scale operation already by our armed forces forces, i predict that there will be a continuation of the imo on the territory of russia and in the occupied territories,

where the enemy is not waiting, where there are no occupied areas and where there is a prospect of an offensive, therefore the kursk direction is the first element of this strategy, the second situation, we have devalued the possibility of an offensive from the kursk region to sumy region, this is such a practical, but strategic task, among other things. on the other hand, a number of military facilities, military formations, the possibility of stockpiling ammunition equipment, logistics control halls were destroyed, this is the second component, and the format, as we we say legal, because for a long time ours and even the russians thought that this was the case, and we say that it is not only the destruction of the reserves of the terrorist enemy, but the formation of the buffer zone, the security zone, which putin said he would like to form on the territory of ukraine. at a distance from zero to 100 km all the way to kharkiv, and we accordingly preempted and made this buffer vision on the territory of kurshchyna, it may be bilhorodshchyna, bryanshchyna, other regions, but why not do it?

this is what predisposes to, for example, today on our cities and villages from a close distance, now the enemy must place his firepower 50-100 km away and aviation capabilities not 80-100 km away, but 200 and beyond, it is clear that in this situation we have a strategic perspective withdrawal of the enemy's reserves, not the ones that we are talking about all of pokrovsk, there putin gave instructions not to change anything, that is, on the contrary, to build up so that there were possible offensive opportunities, but the reserves coming from russia are now being thrown to the kurshchyna, part of them were removed from the kharkiv direction , from kherson, accordingly, zaporizhzhia, well, i understand, troops were moved to skaliny oblast, so at the moment... another strategic goal is to weaken the enemy, especially his reserves, to reorient in another direction and , of course, to destroy in this direction, but already forming fortified areas as a buffer zone and

of course, preventing the enemy from unblocking just us, and with constantly hovering over his strategic objects, in the flesh, we will not storm, for example, the chicken slope, but hide at a distance from the splanges that will really create a problem for them and disable the opportunity. of energy is one format, the blocking of a number of logistics corridors and the undermining of bridges and its deepening of groups, this is the second format, well, of course, this is a clear model, glorifying putin’s regime, and what we have already done, we showed that putin is confused, his model, so to speak , which he says that no one will ever give up a piece of russian land, no one will enter, maybe this one failed, with a bang, frankly, because he didn't even know what to say the first days, i say that this is some kind of subversive group, we will quickly deal with it, and then they do not know how to form military units and commands, first an anti-terrorist operation, and then

accordingly... created a coordination headquarters with the participation of the ministry of defense and the fsb, and for some reason the governor of dyomin does not trust specific, entrusted to his own, who is from bukoron, the governor, you see what non-standard, but confused actions on the part of putin himself, and now it is very, on his entourage, which shows trust. tries to present all this as a terrorist attack by the ukrainian army, and it is clear that he is trying not to call it all a war, and what is happening in kurshchyna, he calls a counter-terrorist operation there, but they are now trying to play this trump card with the kursk nuclear power plant, because

the head came to kurchatov at the request and request of moscow. raphael grossi, and after inspecting the kursk nuclear power plant, he announced the danger of a nuclear accident due to hostilities in the kursk region. let's hear what grossi said. i was informed about the drone attacks. i was shown some traces of these attacks at the station. and besides that, the fact that we have military activity a few kilometers away, a few miles away, makes the station a facility. immediate attention the active zone of the reactor, containing nuclear material, is protected by a conventional roof. this leaves it extremely open and vulnerable to, for example, an artillery strike, a drone or missile attack. mr. general, can the russians use the current situation to create a provocation, when they

will deliberately strike this one themselves. kurdish aes in order to present ukrainians as nuclear terrorists? first of all, we see the first one the other day we announced that they are preparing such provocations, strikes on the nuclear power plant itself, well, without consequences, because this will first of all give a powerful impulse to russia, and the radiation and everything else should reach all the way to moscow, so they will try to provoke how we will strike with these drones, and then, accordingly, tell that these are ukrainian drones, they have chinese drones, similar ones. where we partially use, therefore, in this situation, they will definitely do it and they have already done it once , they have already paid for the invitation, they are already looking for drones there, i directly i must say that he did not arrive in zaporizhzhia when active hostilities were taking place, and he did not say that there should not be any terrorists here who specifically attacked the zaporizhzhia railway station, this is objectivity, so we offer money so that there is no provocation and that he said that they were not in danger,

let them be there. will increase the contingent directly at the kurchatov telecommunication station and in this way will ensure security, international control, this is exactly the way out and see who hits, on the other hand it is clear, in order to so that there is no provocation, we must point them out and warn them that russia is preparing, and not only for kurchatov, this is a very important strategic object, but also for carrying out strikes on the civilian population, with missiles, so that they are already carrying out strikes on their own cities and bye, that's clear, changing clothes already. an operation was planned, we disrupted it in the form of ukrainians carrying out terrorist actions and, of course, other operations for, for example, murder, they would like to attribute to us that we, like them, conduct terrorist attacks, as such as in other populated areas, when they entered here, that is, it will not succeed, we simply reveal them at each stage, at each form of provocation actions, the nuclear station understood first of all, but we ourselves offer mutual means of control, guarantees that we

comply, from our side, let us clearly use guarantees from other participants as well, especially countries that have powerful means of control, space, radiological, respectively radioactive elements, systems of technical intelligence, cyber intelligence, that which should fix dear drones, dear strikes with rockets, artillery, rocket-mortar systems, where they fly from, who launches them, and i think such systematic daily control is exactly the countermeasure. right here, let russia say that we are ready for this, for such total control, not only money to which they will push what they wanted to see money, or putin provides, according to her instructions, accordingly develop scenarios on how to change us in nuclear terrorism. regarding nuclear terrorism, the russians demonstrate this nuclear terrorism and the seizure of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant threats
