we cannot rise to the front, because our planes will be shot down if these bombs are dropped from low altitudes, even at high speed, even if we scrape them, drop them from a high point, they fly from 22 to 25 km, in no way these bombs, besides well, we are promised to hand over bombs with cluster bombs only combat units, they will not affect the course of hostilities to a large extent. although these are the most modern bombs, they can be with cluster bombs, and with concrete-piercing warheads, ordinary warheads, and cluster bombs can be, well, enough of them, enough of these effective submunitions, there are 145 munitions in such a cluster bomb, and they are of double cumulative cumulative fragmentation action, double action, that is, they can not only destroy

armored vehicles, but also destroy infantry in some area , but still these bombs in the form we will receive from the allies, they will be difficult for us, first of all, it will be difficult for us to use them, i say again, low altitude, short range, high density of anti-aircraft missile systems of the russians, yes, but there is an option, it was interesting option, let's say, the main one editor defense express. said that you can put rocket engines on these engines, oh, you can put rocket engines on these bombs, but in general a very good idea, it could be done in the conditions of ukraine, because in general these bombs that are to be delivered to us, yes, they were planned to be rockets , oh, but we will only get them in the version of the plan of winged bombs, planing bombs, yes, but in the tail part of these missiles they are called agm. antisurface guided missile,

guided missile, well, if in the host part, where there is a place to install it a jet engine, a small one, yes, such a rocket is capable, such a bomb is capable, well , you see, now it is used, it flies using a jet engine, then the range even from low altitudes will reach hundreds of kilometers, and then some, some influence on the russian, let's say... arms warehouses of the army divisional level, then it will be possible to destroy them, and this will directly affect the course of hostilities in certain areas, well, of course, we will monitor what products will come to ukraine, and how it will apply, yet one message that was voiced by joseph biden, well, actually during the visit of the american...

the visit of zelensky, more precisely, biden instructed the ministry of defense of the united states of america to expand the training of ukrainian f-16 pilots , including by supporting the training of 18 more pilots next year, why so that's how they are about the f-16 and about the planes and about the pilots, how they cut like salami, the salami principle, little by little, little by little, you don't need a lot of pilots, because... you won't have these planes and these pilots so quickly , well, it's artificial goods for the armed forces, for the air forces of the armed forces, why do you think the americans are holding back this process, although they could train a hundred ukrainian pilots or fifty ukrainian pilots who would already make up this combat unit that could be used on f-16 fighters , well, do you walk wide? then

i have to tell you, a hundred pilots is not capable, even the united states is not capable of training hundreds of pilots, it must be trained, first of all, in the european training center in romania, and in the united states, and conduct preliminary training, in addition , well let's take this aspect, an hour of flight of an f-16 plane, it costs somewhere, well, the planes are not new. spare parts need 25-30 00 dollars (1 hour), so in order to teach the pilot to pilot and combat use of this aircraft, well, it takes dozens of hours, but only the cost, let’s take only the cost of the plane, plus there, well, in general, for a long time to tell about it more than once, the cost of training a pilot costs millions of dollars, 2-3 million dollars. funds, well, let's say

that, ah, if we take the total cost, that is slovakia, for example, bought 14 planes, it seems, on average... if the plane is delivered from the factory to some country, then the cost of such an f16 plane is about 60 million dollars, and the cost of the complete set of the plane, weapons, spare parts an engine for some spare parts, some weapons, and the training of pilots, it has already doubled, there is more than 130 million dollars, that is, after all , for 10 years... maybe we will have 100 pilots or 100, no, not for 10 years, i think, you understand, canada has now joined the training of pilots, she allocated money, the european f-16 flight crew training center, which i

mentioned in romania, is starting to work and train ukrainian pilots, but the americans say, although it is still possible. it is the americans who finance the training in the european center, you see, here you have to dot the y's and figure it out. if three centers are training pilots, yes, that is one thing, if one center is training and is financed by the united states together with canada, then it is a different situation, that is, i have not put a full stop to this issue yet, but the training is underway, and besides that should be kept in mind. that our infrastructure, it too is not capable of receiving fifty v-16 aircraft at once. thank you, mr. valery, for the conversation, it was aviation expert valery romanenko, a leading researcher of the state aviation museum. friends, we continue our broadcast and we work, i remind you,

krivonos, major general of the reserves, former first deputy commander of the sso, ex-deputy secretary of the national security council. mr. general, i congratulate you and wish you good health. thank you for being with us today. good evening everyone, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. mr. general, president putin, the self-proclaimed president putin and the soviet union from russia, updated russia's nuclear doctrine and expanded the list of applications, the possibility of using nuclear weapons what are the challenges facing ukraine and the world now, and how new is this one. will the horror story made public by putin and his henchmen affect the course of the russian-ukrainian war? well, it has long been a practice to scare the russians in the information space and directly talk about their powerful nuclear

capabilities, they really like it, but it's like trying to cut a piece of bread with a blunt sword. therefore, let's not pay attention to the fact that they bark. it is better to deal directly with our own problems that we have more than enough, just as sorry, when this poll is about trump, whether trump will help or not, we don't have enough of our own problems to discuss and decide, we turn our attention to others again, forgetting about own problems, in solving social problems within ukrainian society, this is the number one task, without any doubt, just the current... polls, it is timed for the visit of zelenskyi and the meeting with trump, so we are simply interested in what they think our viewers. let's return to internal issues, to the internal situation in ukraine and the situation at the front, the situation in the pokrovsky direction is quite difficult, the course

operation of the armed forces of ukraine is ongoing. how do you assess the current situation at the front as of september 27, 2024? the situation, well, let's start from the top, let's start with kursk, from the north, in the direction of kursk , the battles are going on at the tactical level, communicating with certain guys, at the level of... commanders, i understand that the situation is not so deplorable, they are fighting back, they attack, they capture prisoners in certain areas, in certain areas, not so positive for us, but in the meantime, tactical-level battles are underway, because the russians are still trying to find out where to bite and how to bite, as for the kupyan direction, this is also an ancient the dream... to directly hold the kharkiv direction for the russians and still capture kupyansk, because by capturing kupyansk

under control, in the future they plan to take the lyman direction and build the kupinsk estuary, the time of konstantinovka, which they have also long dreamed of and pokrovsk, this precisely the reconstruction of such a wonderful rolling railway road, which will allow the russians to successfully roll over. and human and material resources along their front line, which they believe will remain on the territory of ukraine for a long enough time, so they are making maximum efforts, and first of all, now and on kurakhov and pokrovsky, so that in the future, if someone discovers the map, let's see that from pokrovsk it is a direct road to pavlograd, then to the dnipro, and skurakhova is a direct road going to the side. zaporizhzhia, they repeat exactly maneuvers, in the winter of 1943, when the red army

tried to dislodge the german troops from these directions, so there is nothing new, and they do not invent, they always repeat those operations, but add certain modern nuances to them. as for the general situation at the front, well, the question is that when there are not enough people. even as far as the reserves are concerned, when people are not trained enough, it is too difficult to fight, and if the leader of our country had listened to commander-in-chief zaluzhnyi at one time, and in october of last year, still after all, the question of conscription was raised and these people were called up, then during this time it was possible to prepare them in sufficient quality and in the required quantity, at that time they did not see the need, well, how can a person without having any military ... worlds without serving a single day in army, to draw such conclusions, well , realistically, the environment that surrounds our

president, unfortunately, does not say what is necessary, not what is realistic, but what the president wants to hear, and this is our biggest problem , that instead of the truth, we try to both ourselves and our own people directly, that the time of enlightenment and the time of disappointment have already come, and just then... the ability to clearly place accents and ask uncomfortable questions, why someone does not fulfill certain duties, respectively, as prescribed by the constitution and other laws of ukraine, this is task number one, because if we continue to lull ourselves in a warm bath, there will be much more disappointments, and they will be more tragic for our country. under the current conditions, mr. general, what options for decisions of the authorities can save... situation and solve the problem, including

the quality of those people who are preparing for the front and to fight against the russians? any businessman, and managing the country is also, let's say, a business for certain people, but meanwhile, time, people and money, we don't have much time, but it's everything, as far as people are concerned, it's the quality training of people until the moment when...... they came to the ranks of the armed forces in the right number and in the right quality. unfortunately, we still have an insufficient number and quality of people being trained, and this is the main reason the question is not even about the armed forces, it is a task for the state to prepare a huge amount at the capacity of ukraine, we can prepare much more, prepare qualitatively, for some reason it is not organized at the state level. as for the money? money is primarily the economy, the economy, according to the law on mobilization. in the conditions of wartime, this

means that we have a huge number of enterprises that still have not received tasks from the mobilization plan, because this plan has not been worked out by the verkhovna rada, not accepted by the verkhovna rada, not approved by the president and not directly justified in the first place by the cabinet of ministers, again a puncture in non-fulfillment of the existing law, but everything is very simple: the economy will work, needs will be provided. of the armed forces, they will provide for the needs of the armed forces, we will be able to fight qualitatively, using technical capabilities and save human lives. mr. general, you remembered. about production and about the economy, which should also work for the armed forces, umyerov, rustan rustem umyerov, minister of defense of ukraine, stated the fact that in 2024 the ukrainian share of ammunition at the front is 41%. and what does the minister of defense say, today every second

ammunition on the front is of ukrainian production, if in 2023... the ukrainian share of ammunition was 18%, then in the 24th it increased to 41%. thank you to the ministry of strategy and industry team for constructive cooperation. you, mr. general, repeatedly spoke on the air of our tv channel about the fact that the current successes are, well, insufficient, and these successes should have been achieved in 2019, when the defense was approved. order or not were approved when zelenskyi came to power, and when it was really necessary to prepare for war, how are you now, in spite of everything, in spite of everything, evaluating this dynamic, whether it is sufficient or insufficient, or simply, well, it is one thing to start making ammunition from 0% and up to 40%,

relatively speaking, and the other when it comes to from 40% there to 90%. the difference is in the numbers and the amount of ammunition produced? well, come on, i'll cut you the slack and just give you real numbers. so we heard about 40%. by the way, i talked to some yesterday military personnel at the front, and they complain a lot about the quality of ukrainian ammunition, especially with regard to mortar ammunition, he says: god forbid that even out of ten that fly, god forbid that five work. this is the whole answer for you. the next question is... 40% of the total ammunition requirement, unfortunately i can't say on the air right now the actual amount of ammunition that we use in a day, but i'll just give you a simple example that's not a secret, we we hope that the americans will be here in august months produced 40,000 shells for ukraine per month. 40,000 shells per month is 4

days, relatively speaking, of active hostilities. our share, you said 40%. it is somewhere on the level, well, let's raise it, let it be 20 00 and that's another plus two days, and that's how many days we get, six days of active hostilities during the month, ask yourself the questions, we produce them in the right amount right, and the growth from zero, yes, if there were zero, and now there are 40 shells, then this is a 40% increase, but in reality, it’s... completely different, and what the front simply requires projectiles of various calibers 120, 105, 107, 12 52, 155, and they require these projectiles, but they are not available, so be glad that there is a lot of things there, you know, it is like looking through a glass, some say that it's

half empty, others say it's half full, so to each their own. as a scout with a certain experience of serving in the armed forces for more than a dozen years , i look more critically at such things, because i was taught to look at things realistically and not to harden myself and my subordinates in a warm bath. well, that's exactly what i wanted about a warm bath to ask you, because denys shmyhal also boasts that the production of weapons has tripled this year, he said this during a recent press conference, let's listen to the prime minister of ukraine. in 2023, it should be emphasized that the production of weapons in ukraine increased three times, and in the first 8 months of this year we increased production two times more than in the 23rd year, that is, we are progressing, the production of drones continues to grow, we created a market

for drones, opening up opportunities for business, for enterprises, in addition to this, this year was allocated attention and created... the arms market for drones, actually ammunition, respectively, one plus million drones have already been contracted this year, i.e. more than 1 million. our own production of projectiles is increasing, not only ammunition for drones, but we are also working on the production of our own ammunition for artillery, the most deficient position that we are looking for together with our partners around the world, well... the tears-seizures prevent us from listening, well, we already, well, let's go back once again, if we compare from zero, then there is growth, but if we compare , that this was not done in the 19th, in the 20th, 21st centuries, then the question of why it was not done before is the first, second, issue of drones, and now the question is not only about the number of drones, but about the quality of the training

of operators. tell me, please, on the bases of our higher educational institutions of a civilian profile, and how many additional training courses in various military specialties are open, you will be surprised that they are not open. i will give you an example of the enemy, in the 22nd year they opened additional training courses for 50 educational ... senior civilians, they were really preparing for war and really paid attention to it, we talk about the quantity, but for some reason we completely forget about the quality, and if mr. shmygal would say how many drones that are produced, reach the target, and why they do not reach the target, and what is the fault, then the numbers would be completely different, we are putting ourselves in a warm bath again, because the guys who... happen from the front, say completely different things, and believe me, knowing, having fought with them since the 14th year, i i trust much more and understand that the front needs more, that things

have started to move well, but i will call a huge the number of enterprises that are still not involved in the production of products of military importance, mr. general, you have extensive experience of serving in the armed forces of ukraine and have also held managerial positions in the last week. for the past few weeks , the topic of the possible dismissal of general budanov from the post of the head of the main department of the ministry of intelligence of the ministry of defense of ukraine has been discussed in social networks and not only in social networks. are there reasons for personnel rotations in gur, and what could they be related to, if they really will be? well, in fact, banal reasons, they were just as banal as those concerning general zaluzhnyi. in the same way , general budanov has become too popular on certain information resources, and this, let's say, annoys certain

leaders in the pechersk hills, and they are very nervous that this could become, let's say, a certain competitor for the possible elections that they there they draw in their heads, er, saying that they are not preparing for this, but meanwhile many of their actions show that they still have certain views about the elections. and in any you can always find flaws in the system, just as if you open the law on intelligence and look at what the main intelligence agency is responsible for and what it has to do, then a huge number of people will come to general bohdanov with questions, so everything here is very simple, if you need flaws, you don't really need to look for them, we open the governing documents, it is clear that general budanov probably does not dream of a political career and is not thinking now about... presidential ambitions or the ambition to create a party, although, as i think sociologists said, there are closed polls where it is said that both budanov and zaluzhny

can be, can have their own parliamentary factions, well, according to the political party, and zaluzhny is generally the number one contender after zelensky for the position of president of ukraine, i don’t know, you do you communicate with zaluzhny, does he have any political ambitions at all? well, that's the question. i'm keeping it for now, let's say as an affair for the future, i'll just give you an example of how the increased power in the information space now raises the question of sabotage of the russian gas and oil pipelines in the baltic sea, and how it seems that zaluzhny knew about it, but for some reason the president did not, and that is exactly when the question of the upcoming elections is raised. why do these facts suddenly surface, these facts were not known back in the 22nd year, they were known, for some reason they were silent about them then, to whom it is profitable to raise questions now and in

the information space against the unscrupulous, especially as regards the western mass media information to raise the question that he did these things, but really, it is profitable it is definitely not beneficial for ukraine, ukrainians, but it is beneficial for those who are worried about competition in possible races, that is... that is, all the talk about the fact that zaluzhny knew and zelenskyi did not know about this undermining, whether there were this, was this undermining ukrainian, ukrainian special operation, or not, but it all fits into the context of the political context. you know, as for the bombings, if there were enough and much more bombings, i would be happy, and i wouldn't even ask the question of who did it. look how clearly. and the representatives work professionally enough one of the best intelligence structures of massat in israel, so they never say they were there, they were not, they don't say wrong, no

no, these are real. the classic work of scouts, our scouts often do pr on certain simple things, because it is so beautiful, and do not do powerful, serious things, well, from my point of view, maybe then the gur would have to say, but no, we spent much more powerful sabotage on some oil pipeline there or somewhere else, for some reason we did not hear about it, and thank god that we did not hear about it, but it must be done constantly, the more efficiently and systematically we will destroy. during the entire broadcast, we will conduct a poll , we will look at the interim results of the poll , whether the united states of america will continue to help ukraine in the event of trump's victory 51% yes 49% no. we'll be back in the studio in 5 minutes. don't switch. september discounts on
