let's say, it was calculated specifically to cause as many victims as possible among the civilian population, but let's face it , first of all, we raise the question that we need to be defended only after the russians do something, we are concerned about our own defense, what is needed is for the russians to make something a crime and not to do it preventively, and that's why it somehow happens that the nomenclature that we really need is very far from the political realities with which we work, because if to say that i am you i'll interrupt, but you know, it seems to me that you... a rather clear situation is emerging, in general, that now russia is targeting strikes with a large number of victims, but i just see that this is being traced, that is, they are looking for a hospital, a hotel , an educational institution, a train station, but if we continue your line the one i raised, here i remember, it seems that in mid-august, a message was published by the apostrophe publication with reference to the data of the main intelligence office that... they had accumulated 160

x101 missiles and 160 cruise missiles missiles to iskander somewhere 150 ballistic iskanders turns out to be in some ways even more, that is , there are more missiles for iskanders than for strategic bombers, the use of missiles from iskanders of any ballistic winged aircraft is more dangerous for us, because it is difficult to prevent a missile attack here, it is difficult to detect a missile, accordingly, response time is all less, but it turns out, well, where did we talk about all this, plus the fact that the russians have x101 missiles with cluster warheads, the removal of which will be difficult later in the restoration of work on energy, well, about cluster warheads on the hast-1, well, it became known in the summer, our publication wrote about it, nevertheless, somehow in public communication there from the authorities, from civil society, well, somehow, all the nuances of the missile threat, they somehow did not come up, and then we also wonder why the world needs putin to do something, to think about something, and then if we move on to the means we would need, then in theory, first of all, you know, not five. patriots, who

were promised to us somewhere, should have been given, well, at least 25, because well 25 batteries, at least four launchers each, that’s how much it has, so many in the world have it, except for saudi arabia, but this would at least allow us to plus or minus block the airspace over large regional centers, well, regardless, what are the causes of the disaster, what, let 's say, the causes of human losses that happened in poltava, there is something to deal with, obviously, the cause of the disaster itself is clear, well, there was nothing to hide. region in terms of anti-ballistic protection, if we talk about long-range, let's say, here are the possibilities, their we have to ask, first of all, why didn't we have the same stubborn company: "give us p-16 missiles in the usa, just as we shook scholz, that scholz give us taurus, well , it turns out somehow like this, who can to get who can be, we beat, who can really give opportunities, we don't ask there, after all, when we are thinking about covering the russian

federation's strategic aviation there at the airfields, or hitting there in places where these long-range rockets are based on, well, here, on the one hand, there is such a simple argument that such tasks are possible to be carried out only by tomahawks, on the other hand, well, first of all, a land-based version of the tomahawk missile has already appeared again in the usa, which they are going to deploy in germany in 2026, and there , accordingly, the scandal with the kremlinvskii broke up, on the other hand, well, now it's already such a geopolitical era, where you can order tamagavkas, in principle, but we don't ask for these tamagavkas, or at least long-range rockets. under 16, to beat the russians, and going out further, we smoke in such a neurosis, when the attacks of sleep operational-tactical rockets to carry out tasks on the battlefield, but we are not in the enemy’s hands, they do not allow us to be an atakams in moscow or at the english airfield, well, that atakams will not get there, and why are we creating a neurosis about this , well, that is, we have to we can go to some other in general - well, directions of our efforts, so that they are already. you and i once

discussed in one of the broadcasts that there was a peak of some strikes that we should somehow direct our efforts to the purchase of air defense equipment, well, i remember even in my time at the level of there was a half-joking story in lviv that let's throw ourselves at the patriots, but then it ended, because the city can't buy patriots, well, the zrk is such a trifle, but nevertheless somehow judging by everything, you have to go there, because it turns out we ourselves are waiting until... he commits some other crime, and then we blame the world for reacting, although we have all the data in our hands, which, excuse me, literally screams that the missile threat, especially this fall, this week, will be more acute than the previous ones periods, especially since in all and in civilized and not in in civilized countries, there is a tendency that air attack means are always easier to make than anti-aircraft means, here is such a grotesque vivid illustration, the yemeni kushites do not have their own at all...

those rockets, noobs, are more difficult to make than rockets that can be hit at israel or the merchant ships there, i think that the russians may also find such a paradox that they use missiles for strikes on ukraine more than missiles. to protect, well, its infrastructure, well, that is , an asymmetric answer would be to hit more by him, in fact, and in this way we can reduce this threat, and well, if we talk about protection in addition, after all, this is an option with the fact that poland and those countries that are around us, let's say this, romania is also there , yes, so that they somehow get involved in the protection of our space, as far as it is... from your point of view, well, such a direction is promising, because i see that political efforts are being made there, and it is being talked about, how pragmatic it is, well, let's outline yes, the romanians and the poles

don't have the means to knock down daggers there, because, well, there may not be, because, well, you need pak-3 missiles to knock down daggers, and here the question is relevant, do these two countries have these appropriate missiles to set up a mission so that they can? it is possible to shoot down these two countries' border zones or subsonic cruise missiles or shaheds, but judging from everything, it is precisely from the military-political point of view that we are not finalizing exactly where the accent is political, because the poles rightly point out in their periodicals that they have an internal political problem within the framework of which peacetime legislation requires that the pilot must first visually see the target, and then shoot, but it turns out that if you try to catch up with a missile or missile on an f16, but there... you can lose time, accordingly, they are actually bound by their legislation on many issues, no only in terms of those that interfere with the shooting down of missiles, which shaheds threaten both them and us with the romanians, the story is similar, plus, apparently, we are asking to protect our airspace, but

not some kind of unified information system that would allow data exchange back and forth, but apparently there is none, but somewhere on the borders of three countries, that is , our romania and poland, these shaheds can get lost. and then the polish and romanian zanitniks come out and try to find where it fell, respectively, and we ask for protection, plus we actually, it turns out, offer some part of the armed forces of these countries to switch, well, not that there to a wartime regime, but well, especially for the period of deployment, that is, something like this mission, there are nato missions or something like that, but we do not offer a clear political format that let's say that you will be involved in combat duty on the basis of such and such a format, and we, for example, are ready to pay you and... some costs for the work of these air defense systems, because maintaining an anti-aircraft missile complex is always expensive, we do not offer it to them, it turns out that we are trying to raise the issue there from a political point of view, but we do not give it systematicity, we do not give it, that is why the poles come out here, there are 1001 arguments in

favor of nin, because we do not give them arguments in favor, well, because they carefully monitor , what is happening here, is trying to generalize the various practices of aviation, air defense and even... pure practice, they would not refuse, but we, well, we do not offer them the conditions under which they should essentially enter the war on our side, even if it is only a war in the sky and in our small territory? well , let's hope that maybe we don't know something about you and you, and somewhere out there our military is still talking about some formats, well, but in any case, it's probably worth talking about it, maybe even more so frankly, thanks for our time a little bit. exhausted, thank you, ivan, ivan kyrychevskyi, the military expert defense-express joined us, now we will go for a short break and come back, well, we will talk a little with the guest, who is located directly in the direction of pokrovsky and, we hope,

will tell us something about this. two hours to learn about the war and how the world lives. a project for smart and caring people. espresso in the evening. we return to the chronicles of the war, we were joined by major oleksandr ryasny, he is an officer of the 15th operational brigade national guard of ukraine karadakh. greetings , mr. oleksandr, thank you for joining us. mr. oleksandr, well, you actually fought, well, in a lot of directions and in defense and in offensive in different places. now, you, well, appeared not so long ago. your brigade near pokrovsk, and what can you say with such a fresh eye, what is this direction like, well, perhaps difficult, why is there such a heavy defense and such a fierce russian offensive, what did you see

there with such a fresh eye, well, i will say with previous experience that easy directions are not it happens, all the directions are difficult, they have certain differences, extremely, but... the pokrovsky direction is different now because pokrovsky itself is the direction of the main attack of the russian forces, that's all, that's why there are such tight battles here now, and so now here is... the most concentrated attack of the enemy. tell me, what would, well, what could contribute to stopping the advance of the russians in this direction after all, what should be strengthened, because many different opinions now, there somewhere say to withdraw, there to get a foothold somewhere, well, all kinds of opinions are heard, others have a different opinion, what opinion do you have on this matter? directly, of course, society has the right. on e opinions, but the undisputed command and leadership

is doing everything to the maximum, we are making maximum efforts in order to restrain the enemy, here the conduct of hostilities is planned , which is necessary, of course, it is necessary to maintain the defense firmly and make the maximum impression on the enemy in order to reduce their offensive potential, let's reduce the offensive potential, then under favorable conditions we will consider possible options there. restoring positions and improving one's tactical position, that is, combat operations are being conducted, and to claim that something is wrong here, i do, i can't, everything is actually done in order to deter the enemy and give him the maximum impression, well, for example, that yury butusov, he calculated there recently that, in fact, if you look at this rather narrow part of the front, it is 18 km. said, or something, the russians they are trying to attack at the same time, well, there

are about 200 people there, and in fact it is about stopping these 200 attacking people, and he is offering some of his things there, well, if you look at it from this point of view, then what could it be , more use of uavs, i don't know, because now we are talking about infantry groups. i understood the question itself, the fact is that the defense forces of ukraine in all directions and exclusively, not exclusively, and on pokrovsky use both strikes, as well as artillery, strikes on aviation, and strikes on with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles, strike drones, all these means are used, are being used, it’s just that, as i said earlier, the enemy has concentrated maximum efforts here, since this is the direction of his main attack and... it is difficult to restrain him here, but somewhere in us it seems , somewhere he adversary has an advance, unfortunately we

continue to work on it, look for ways, methods of solution, of course, more strike drones, more artillery, of course, and artillery is never enough, aviation, if we have air superiority, advantage in artillery, then it will be much easier to hold back the enemy's infantry, much easier, i will say that now directly in our... direction , the enemy is using both the tactics of small infantry groups using the mass method on the battlefield, and the action in the areas of concentration is supported, that is, it can be asserted that nothing is being done here to restrain the enemy, i will not say that, maximum efforts are being made here, and of course the need... armed, it is there, like everyone else, so i will not say that it is not enough, it is enough, basically, but the more the merrier, whatever you do

they said now about the use of aviation by the enemy, because it is always a painful topic, but there is some kind of dynamics, you can still compare it with different, again , areas and even from this one in time directly near pokrovsk, is it active now or not less activity actively. he uses his aviation every day, he uses the air force precisely for kabami strikes, that is, i will not say that army aviation is used, no, but there is tactical bomber aviation for strikes in depth, kabami are used to destroy the strongholds of the districts, to destroy infrastructure, the task of losses directly in the depth of our defense, that is why he used, uses and will use aviation, because we must understand that there are many enemies. aviation, he does not spare it, he has huge reserves since soviet times, so we must be

ready for it, and having, based on the means we have, we must oppose it, it is clear that we understand that we have unfortunately, it is less, since the potential of aviation in our country was less than different before that, for a long time to come in our aviation, well, it is so, because , well, we actually have a problem here, what to say, but if we say, well, about stopping the enemy, then what could be a realistic goal, that is... after all these advances that were there near novogrodivka, near ocheretyn, there are still places where there could be, well, let's say, those positions that we could realistically, well, because it is about after all, don’t let them pass, obviously to pokrovsk, it’s an important logistics hub, an important place, well, but to pokrovsk is where, that is, well,

obviously, i understand that you can't say that directly, well, as much as you can to give some idea. well , directly observing the dynamics of the battle line in this direction, now it is difficult to say that it is necessary to leave something somewhere in order to have some advantage somewhere, the leadership, as i said, is conducting planning at the highest level, the planning of this defense operation, i think, will be accepted the correct solution to the further use of troops, specifically, at my level, i cannot now answer where i would like to place the defense, because i don't have the right level of command, and in general i believe that the lines that are being held now are being held correctly, because we can't leave something behind now, and there are talks about the fact that something is not equipped with the maximum fire impression, since we need to inflict the maximum fire

impression on the enemy in order to reduce his offensive potential, and in order to retreat to some... other lines to withdraw, yes, tactically to withdraw, to make maneuvers, we need those lines to be saturated with troops, saturated with defenses that are currently being prepared and already decisions will be made directly there in the top management at the top headquarters. uhu, and how about you, well, again, it is impossible to say clearly, but can you say that the defense lines are so unequipped now, well, as they like to say about it, that it is some kind of trouble. i will say that the defense lines are equipped, there are quite a few lines and dragon's teeth and lines of fortifications, they are there, i will not say that they are not here, they are, directly, we understand that we have a wide front, a very large one, a very long line of battle, the old enemy is attacking us somewhere on pokrovsky

direction, so somewhere we are asked to contain our troops, to maintain combat brigades, on average we would like to increase the number of personnel so that it is easier to deter the enemy, but including the realities, we understand that work is currently being carried out in this regard, and i think that some reserves are preparing, are preparing, who support us in this direction, well, for sure, this question is in the reserves and the question in principle in the quantitative ratio also remains, well, on our... let's say our fighters to the enemy , this question remains relevant, you know, want prevails, really prevails in number, everyone understands that here in places one to 10, it is so, in fact it is so, everyone sees it, knows it, because, but quantity is not quality, i will say that the quality of the enemy in places is no no

such that, let's say, we are numerically outnumbered, qualitatively we are still our soldiers. better, i think it will continue to be so, by the way, i wanted to discuss with you one video that appeared, it is how the ukrainian military uses such an fpv drone that scatters thermite mixture on positions, maybe you too they saw it, so let them show me , oh, so-and-so, so-and-so, i don't know, some kind of snake, well, something like that flies and burns, well, it's like the burning temperature of this one. here it reaches 2500°, it is capable of destroying equipment and ammunition, but how can you assess how promising such and such a thing can be in general, and maybe you have already encountered it somewhere, or heard something about it? encountered and heard, well , it’s quite a thing, this means is quite promising, it has the right to life, and these are thermoboric

ammunition that can be used for the destruction of the so-called zillonka, which for... now there are a lot of places where the enemy is hiding and firing it, we saw the detonation of the bepribas, now you can see on the video that the destruction of the so-called field warehouses and fortified areas is not simple fire , it is m' which, and directly it is ammunition that is difficult to extinguish, i.e. it is a special chemical mixture that is not so easy to extinguish, this is how i understand it, the answer is peculiar to the sun-drenched, well, i think, this is such a know-how, know-how in the production of fpv drones. and when she appeared, well, because, well, i literally saw this video today, and for me it was like, well, i had not heard about it yet. well, i will say that it was announced quite recently and they started using it, maybe a couple of weeks ago.

so, can we already wait for it in your direction, is it possible that it is already in your direction and can i help? i think we can expect it very soon on all directions, it will need, and directly this video, so i suspect it is from our direction. and in the near future there will be many more of them, and if we conclude like this, we literally have this left, well , apart from this, can we expect any more novelties, maybe there will be something to surprise the enemy, of course, of course, we are not standing still, as well as our adversary is evolving and so are we evolving drone directions, the use of fpv drones to increase their range. quality, quantity, firepower, firepower, and in armaments we are trying, as they say, to invent something new,

for which the enemy will not be ready, thank you, it was major oleksandr yasny, thank you they joined us, he is an officer of the 15th operational brigade of the national guard of ukraine, karadakh, just as his brigade joined the... defense of pokrovsk, well, we wish you luck and success, well, actually, in this direction, this brigade and not only this one. well , our time is up, stay tuned to the espresso tv channel, we'll see you soon. exclusively on the air of our channel. congratulations, friends! the politclub program is on the air on the espresso tv channel. the most relevant topics of the week: nato member countries have huge arsenals, russia is already on the verge of exhausting its resources.

coming to the studio. well, let's start with the big bed breeding, as it is now called, the change of beds in the government of denys shmyhal. you understand why these efforts, concentrated personnel efforts, were needed in the first place, if you could easily change these ministers throughout the year, because some ministers had the prefix vo. well, to begin with, let's ask yourself the question, how many of where... did you shoot ministers, you can, a person educated in politics, can you name them by their last name? i can name vitaly koval, i can name the removed iryna veryshchuk, yes, herman, smitanin, who was appointed, yes, yes, herman smitanin, well , probably, and probably stefanishyno, who has some

criminal case. the one who remained was removed from one position and appointed to another, look, in fact, this is a small test for our viewers, she immediately explains what happened, nothing happened, simply nothing happened, if, well, who expects a change in the results of the ministry's work, if a person, what half of the year has he been an acting minister? and karandeev did not become another minister, who expects a change? ministry, if a brilliant diplomat with many years of experience suddenly becomes the minister of culture, who can expect normal work from a person, this is the former head of the regional state administration of my native region, who in a year changed the position of the head of the regional state administration, the state property fund, and now went to the mines of bc , this is just an imitation of the stormy activity of the president, which will not solve. none

of the serious ones
