they assembled it at the nazazhiy base, that is, the djajiv brains were the controllers, they soldered it completely themselves, i was already involved in that, and understanding the level from which our uavs of domestic production have grown in 10 years, i emphasize precisely domestically, not some fly i that are produced there in europe, then there is germany, many other countries, i want to say that at the price and at the price... of western manufacturers, how are they competitive, and that is, in 10 years, this is a very colossal, you know, development of all these means, then i was still an enthusiast who was engaged in radio-electronic intelligence, i ordered a dvr sdr, this is a module that shows tv channels, i connected it to the computer and just sat, listening to enemy radio stations and our radio stations, because we used a lot of non- digital... stations at that time, and analogs, and

understanding how this trend is now, uavs, radio-electronic intelligence have been developing for 10 years, and during a full-scale invasion, many sleeping citizens, united citizens, they understood that there was, you know, such a period of the cold war, perhaps, you can call it that, it was such a period of six months during the second world war, when certain countries did not provide assistance, they expressed concern, but no steps were taken in the direction of supporting the ukrainian state and ukrainian citizens in particular, so what kind of aid was provided there, what kind of sanctions, which we see, did not completely limit the military-industrial complex of the russian federation, because french thermal imagers were also placed on their eagles, and a lot of equipment from the united states went there, that is, there were such you know, the sympathetic eyes of sanctions that did not affect the ... military industry of the russian federation, and before

the full-scale invasion, we were developing on our own, and it was not a very large percentage of citizens who were engaged in this. after the full-scale invasion, this number jumped many times, research institutes, for example, the polytechnic institute in chernihiv are also involved in the development in kyiv, and many ivano-frankivsk and lviv polytechnics and many such institutes where teachers, students, well that is the city... of our country in this direction they are contribute to the progress of the military-industrial complex of ukraine. this, by the way, is one of the explanations why the enemy was so active in educational institutions during the entire large-scale revolution. yes, yes. and we understand that this is a separate topic in general, why, remember this question, ask me the destruction of the intellectual component of ukraine and our citizens, it is also very important. you know,

a topic that can only be talked about in a few hours. i would really like to, i think, any person who thinks in categories humanistic in general, as much as possible, i would like war, if it is fought, to be fought safely for humans, yes, and for robots to fight, there were already precedents, if i'm not mistaken, tom cooper published a very cool record when in fact robotic the platform pulls into position. to the fighters of the bc and it is struck by an enemy fpv, where, to be honest, i can't remember whose device, but the moment and the picture itself, when a robot strikes a robot, and this confrontation takes place exactly at this level, gives hope that we will succeed save more lives that are important to us, our lives, our servicemen, regarding the people who... without whom this war

is impossible, now there is a problem with the staffing of our brigades, in general with the number of military personnel, as far as i understand, we do not know specific numbers, thank god, but the mobilization continues, how it continues, is also a separate topic, one way or another, in your opinion, are there certain deviations here, are we doing enough so that someone does not declare to the whole of facebook. in despair, really in despair that he is going to szz, or are we doing enough so that on the other side this type of busification does not happen, as it has been called, and for me it is the same as, you know, the definition of consideration, more of a populist category, but nevertheless, are we doing enough to , to balance this moment, you know, it is so very difficult. question, in fact, it seems to me

that we started doing not enough, maybe six months ago, many actors. er military-political leadership, ordinary ordinary citizens began to simply relax. for many, this war has become to be somewhere far away, that is, we mobilize when we hear sirens outside the window, missile danger, and this when it directly affects those citizens who are in the rear cities. by the way, i wrote a post about pickup trucks in front-line cities. yes , that is, when, you know, the city falls asleep, in kyiv, there is a curfew, no one drives here, kramatorsk, sloviansk, kharkiv, zaporizhzhia, in the sumy region, these cities, they come to life, and hundreds, thousands of small pickup trucks, the mafia, yes yes yes i was going to say but i hold back

people in pixel are waking up, you know, in cartoons, still in some kind of camouflage, and these pickup trucks start driving, and they drive very fast, a lot of them. the headlights drive, they move, they transport personnel, they transport material and technical values, they take artillery to firing positions, that is, combat work begins, it was daytime, the enemy understands this, inflicts artillery strikes, and the war does not stop for a minute , i.e. when the siren goes off in some cities and a notification comes about the selection of missile danger, there this process is continuous, i.e. our citizens and... female citizens die at this minute at 10:22, so they die at 22:22, that is, this process is continuous, and regarding these recent public speeches that someone went to the szch, he gives an interview, he flaunts

that he went to the szch, thus this serviceman, this citizen, he leaves his brothers, that is, his work should be done even more by someone else. and you know, maybe his commander is to blame for this, that he left, and the brigade commander, the commander of the military formation, uh, the office is also to blame to the president, the president, the entire command, and every citizen that we brought this person to such a situation, there are objective and subjective reasons that must also be taken into account, and each situation is individual, but also the pso of the russian federation, and in general, all the propaganda and... and the federal security service of the russian federation, it is aimed at such situations, to make a split, to divide our society, as we said, we talked to you about the studio recordings and the separation of the military and civilians on two

parts, so that there are some precedents, between them tck and sp, and i am very sorry when we see videos, youtube shorts, riels'. instagram, a video on tiktok, where the tcc somehow humiliates a serviceman there, yes, there are some cases where they are unworthy to serve there, where they communicate there, and they communicate incorrectly, but there is an acquaintance of mine in the buchansk tsk tsc, who served as a paratrooper on assault troops, he was wounded, and he is unfit to serve in the airborne assault troops, he was sent to serve in the tsk tsp, he conscientiously fulfills his duties, and when... they show some videos, i understand that this is the ipso of the russian federation, and then you go to those comments, read, and there is simply an unclear situation, what is being done, a lot of bots, some of the citizens of ukraine are trying to do this, they pick it up, a lot of the military, who post it on their pages, in social

networks, and they spread this idea of ​​separation of the ukrainian state and citizens, and such situations are a precedent for what we are not doing enough in reality. i, perhaps, as a management officer, do not communicate enough with certain categories of personnel and do not convey this information, but there are subjective and objective reasons, because i have to do much more work, because certain positions in our unit are not filled, as i once said, i mentioned my fallen comrade volodymyr ivashchenko, and i was so very angry then, because he was the chief sergeant of the sniper company. he came out as a sniper in a position, and if our army had a sufficient number of servicemen, uav operators, gunners, snipers, he would not be there, and someone says, someone else would have died, no one would have died, because there would have been more uav operators, there would have been more infantry, there would have been more fire support groups, and they would

have been able to detect that fire vehicle that got there in time, it was in time to destroy, that is, everything is working in the system, and it’s just somewhere now... this is the situation, my comrades with whom i previously served turned to me, they went to the szz, they called me, explained the situation, said that i need your... advice, i'm in szz, i hung up our personnel at home, we want to continue to defend the country, here we want, we strive, some of them have already received injuries and they will continue to return to the service, and you know, this can be a problem when the personnel run away from the commander in some incompetent, and there are when they run away from the situation, that is, somewhere on the front line, there is some difficult situation, and people just... want to escape from there, and they need to understand that when you leave from that position, you leave your brothers on

the unit with this situation, which have the character and they continue to hold weapons in their hands, and in fact the nw, well, now it is a lot of hearsay, but this is, well, in my military bubble, this is a small percentage of people who go, these are people with whom one or another situation is not discussed, people who ran away from the explosions, did not control their own there. psycho-emotional state, that is, i said that commanders of units, they must also be psychologists, they must have emotional intelligence at a high level in order to understand the process that takes place in their personnel, who can escape? with him we need to talk about this situation and explain it more thoroughly, you know, soldiers, they come, department commanders, infantry platoon commanders, they see the situation as very narrow, the battalion commander, he already sees it for the battalion on the right, the battalion on the left. the brigade commander saw the situation, the brigade was on the right, the brigade was on the left, and that is, it is necessary that

our citizens, our servicemen understand that they see the situation that they need, and here we take this into account, i was the commander of a platoon reconnaissance, and when in parallel two reconnaissance groups are nominated for a task, they do not know the task of one of the other groups, because if one of them gets captured, god forbid, he can tell about the tasks of another group that performs tasks in parallel. that is, there are many safeguards to avoid this, because this is a war, so people die, people are captured, and we understand this, and when we join the army, and when we are united, not separated by our russian federation some misunderstanding of the situation, then we will be effective when we go to the army, we we voluntarily join, now recruiting is taking place in our unit, the third assault 58th, 28th, 54th brigade is a separate artillery brigade, that is, you can apply immediately to come, for example, to a separate

artillery brigade, you say: "i want to be an artilleryman", that's all, we take you, you become an artilleryman, that is, you have to do it then, not when you were stopped by the tsk, you were taken away, you went to the bzvp, passed, got into some unknown team, that is, now there are many recruiting centers, that is, military personnel, brigade commanders are engaged in recruiting, engaged in personnel recruitment and, well, i'm talking about the national guard of ukraine, because a serviceman of the national guard of ukraine, these processes take place constantly in our country, er, in the armed forces, they are the same, we see bigboards are happening and the military is going 120%, some are 150, doing hr, pr, all these buzzwords, i'll learn in a full-scale invasion because we have to advertise, recruit, we already know business projects, we stupidly... a brigade is a company that provides certain services for the state, yes, you hunt

for personnel, yes, and we collect personnel for ourselves, we transfer from other parts, there, you know, somewhere there, we go to another brigade, there, come on, in we are better, our borscht is redder than yours, yes, yes, yes, and we are recruiting personnel, and eh, you know, maybe someone over there on the military and political leadership will consider what someone is doing somewhere, some deputies are getting there. .. money, construction, and now there are many unfortunate situations, speculative situations, such as the last two situation is ternopil-ivano-frankivsk regarding the construction of rehabilitation centers for veterans, but in ternopil, as i know, they built a residential complex, in ivano-frankivsk they want to build a rehabilitation center, but the rehabilitation center will be 25% of the constructed building, everything else - it will be commerce, that is, and... already certain citizens are speculating about veterans, military personnel in order to get

some profit, and these situations will arise, we can see the ukrainian truth, bigus, others, there is butusov plus, espresso, all other media, some independent media, they cover situations, corruption schemes, some unscrupulous citizens who flee abroad, who are now detained there later. and it will happen, these are normal processes for a state in which there is a war, which is engaged in the struggle for independence, and if you take the percentage ratio there, corruption schemes arise. and i communicated with certain categories of people, officials, that now corruption in the ministry of defense, in the ministry of internal affairs, that is, in the law enforcement agencies, is the lowest in history independence of ukraine. when some precedents arise and the mass media cover them, it shows the capacity of those media, the influence of the media, the influence of social

networks, the raising of some social problem, an important problem for the army, for formation. state and defense capabilities, and then the state and the leadership of our state takes some leverage, or removes someone, or you already know that, or does not take it, and even now it may be superfluous, let's talk about the situation when dmytruk fled and the commander-in-chief initiated a meeting about of this situation that in two weeks there will be some solution when it was. a month and a half ago, yes, in my opinion, maybe these decisions were made, but they were not made public, that is, i am talking about the fact that now we all need to communicate with each other, i, as a commander with personnel, a military-political the leadership with the military, their subordinates and their citizens also need feedback, some kind of situation has arisen, it should be discussed,

the decision should not be distributed, someone can say that this is secret information, i am all this i understand, but we can say that we have made a decision. processes are now taking place to improve this situation, we have gone deeper and there is a minister or deputy minister, because the minister may be there on some trips to improve our influence on the international arena, i understand all this, there are spokesmen, there are press officers who can communicate this with citizens and with the military personnel of his country, so that this situation is not hushed up and the situation is not inflamed, and the russian federation does not use it. that is , any situation, whether it is a szh, a serviceman who left and is showing off, or it is dmytruk who escaped, all this must be communicated and explained to every citizen that we see these processes, they are taking place, and that this does not affect the subsequent precedents for the voluntary abandonment of parts, we we consider why he

left, how we can analyze this situation, how we can improve it. and that in the future it is not up to the commanders, here i can say, the unit commands in such a military formation as the national guard of ukraine, these are the processes occur, i.e. some situation has arisen, be it positive or negative, we make a briefing about this situation and we see what we can take from this situation that has arisen, how we can improve it and so that this does not happen in the future, you are now drawing a portrait, and... of an ideal commander of any rank , in fact, that is, the importance of knowing and understanding what is happening in the heads and souls of subordinates, and therefore already building a strategy for your behavior with these people, because you are with them spend most of your life now, but i would also like to point out that,

unfortunately, not always as of now, at least the commanders are different, let's call it... it's general, but integrity, right? that is, there are decisions that were deliberately made, and they were deliberately made in the wrong direction, and could lead to tragic consequences. all this is also there, and it is also a normal manifestation of war, especially of such crazy intensity. actually, at the beginning of the large-scale invasion, our higher military command, uh, was characterized by what allowed. commanders on the ground of various links to make decisions, that is, the moment of this delegation and understanding that the person on the ground sees and understands and and and we trust this person, it was whether it is now and whether there is not, let’s say, a reverse process, when the commanders are possible are

hostages of the old school, let's call it that, and somewhere they are afraid. to raise the problematic issues of their unit there, which they, relatively speaking, now lead, do we generally have a problem with commanders, as of now in the ukrainian army? you know, the problem of the commanders, is it such a question, or is it ours? now commandos, they are the same age as me, battalion commanders who directly make decisions on the battlefield. there are older ones, there are younger ones, right now it’s about combatants, on the battlefield, decisions must be made very quickly, as you rightly say, they can be wrong, because there is a very high... intensity of combat operations, the enemy uses a large amount of its reconnaissance means, e, military weapons and equipment and a large

amount of ammunition and a large number of personnel who carry out assault actions the battalion commander with the company commander, who is working, they make decisions at their level, that is, the battalion commander is given fire equipment, which is included there in the battalion tactical group or simply in the line battalion, and they make decisions there. when to introduce reserves, what means to use, commanders at their level use their fire means, their reserves, that is, it happens because, for example, we take battalion commanders there from our military unit, brigades of the advance guard line, then they all passed rank, if not a platoon commander, then perhaps they were even sergeants, company commanders were sergeants, they performed tasks, they were riflemen, grenade launchers, machine gunners, more promising, they then the career ladder allows them, and they are platoon commanders of hundreds, the commander of the world, they go to the command of the battalions, they understand how these processes take place from below, these teams

understand how scary it is to be in a trench, er, when you are stormed by the enemy, but you have to take action, you have to fight back, because if you, you know, because there is such a situation, it is very simple, you are standing in a position, and it is scary to watch, but you do not see that landing, you see the enemy, just crouching down, and you are more, you know, calmer on some subconscious level, but when you understand, that if you don't do it, they will come and kill you, or take you prisoner, or kill your brothers, and you do it, you are afraid, you do it, and you understand, you see the enemy, you enter it has a gunfight, you destroy it and you know it, a gunfight now it sounds very even in high spirits, for me personally and for the staff, because in order to conduct a shooting battle you have to survive a lot of artillery shelling, a lot on... mouth, they were, at the beginning of a full-scale invasion

, just a staff that carried out a task, and when they go up, they want to make the right decisions, and, for example, regarding the national guard of ukraine, i want to say, personally, who, who should i be afraid of. that is, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, i will go to the combat line and i, if i am not killed by a guided aerial bomb dropped from a plane from the territory of the russian federation, or i will be killed by fpv, or somewhere i will have to go on reconnaissance and i will be killed there by some arlan, who will see me and be killed by the krasnopolem artillery system, that is, it can happen, and it can happen with any - who, with the brigade commander, because it is first of all... these means that are found to destroy ksprigada, so that there is a loss of leadership, there are many competent battalion commanders and company commanders, and

for example, in our part, i do not see a critical situation there about incompetent commanders, because you know everything infrastructure of the national guard of ukraine, we are such a closed military formation with many functions, protection of important state facilities, patrolling the territory. mass events attended by representatives of the national guard of ukraine. i want to say that i started my service in the 14th year, in the 50th regiment, which is based in ivano-frankivsk region, and those servicemen who guard burshtynska tes or patrol the stations in ivano-frankivsk, they fought for our independence in the silver forest, and these rotti teams sergeant soldiers, they were losing. their comrades, they saw the enemy in the sights of their small arms, they destroyed him, and now they are back there on rotation, someone was wounded, they are now engaged in that patrol, and eh, i

really, well, to be honest, i was driving here, thinking about it , i am very proud of the fact that i am serving in the national guard of ukraine, because from us, if servicemen or officers are transferred somewhere, then they are transferred either to the security service of ukraine or to the main directorate of intelligence, because there are prospects, someone understands that he is... better at this or that, and we have our own academy that trains officers, and many officers and brigade commanders with injuries are sent to that academy, who later teach our future officers their experience, that is, this experience is analyzed and the following processes take place, yes, in some directions, in very important directions, for example, let's take the pokrovsky direction, to which ee... ee all the attention of ukrainian society is there, we look , we lose, as you said, what is there a very difficult situation, and units of the national

guard of ukraine are also deployed there, and... maybe someone with some vision of his own wants to improve the situation and descends to the bottom of his seats from kyiv and wants to help there, and you know, well, i hope that people who go down to that level and give instructions to brigade commanders, battalion commanders, they honestly and from the bottom of their hearts want to help, there are just many situations and mr. krotevych raises the issue of the release of sodol and there are many others, as i said, this is also exactly the same process as with corruption, that is, we are all people, military personnel, the armed forces, the national guard of ukraine, these are ordinary citizens who you can meet in the subway, in a movie theater, in any cafe, or in the same cafe as we are sitting with you now , in short, some of them are unpleasant, this is normal, as ukrainian society, none of us is

100% cool. say, i can, i can, i will, but yes, i understand what you are talking about absolutely, especially when we live in a world of total direct ether, sometimes there is so much of it that it seems to us that all we we see, you know, all this is our planet, and it is everywhere, and this is how it happens absolutely 100%, although we must understand that journalists always tell individual stories that can definitely indicate some trends. but that's why we're talking about them, so that it doesn't turn into a trend, but okay, i actually wanted to ask you, you are a hero of ukraine, but we were thinking about whether you should have received a gold star, but, uh, it was such a situation in june of the 22nd year, er, you know, there the day happened like this in such a way that if you survived until lunch, it's good, if you survived the day, it's generally chic,

and... looking at some material values, merits, i had personnel when i was called to the ksp, the tactical grouping of rubizh, to inform you that there may or may not be a supreme commander in our ksp, and i want to present you with the title of hero of ukraine with the award of the golden star. i say, what is the order of the golden star, i have guys there in positions, i took some water, took some food and went back to the platoon base, because what was happening... this was then, we were in the middle of the place of siverodonetsk, and the enemy wanted to destroy the bridges, the enemy wanted to break through, that is, in any way there were constant air raids, constant artillery strikes, constant strikes by tanks, that is, by armored groups that attacked just our platoon company strongholds, there are battalion lines of defense, it happened along the entire line of contact of ours in the settlement

of severodonetsk, and i just didn't have... time, i didn't think about it, i had to go back, just to get out of there the battalion of the support point and get to the command post of the tactical group, it was necessary to carry out a special operation during which you could be killed, there you had to run under artistic fire, then you had to run under enemy machine gun fire, that is, it was a very difficult situation, you had problems with logistics, problems with logistics, and with all of that in mind, i just didn't see the point of handing over. some awards at that stage of hostilities by me personally, by my staff, and it was not important to me at all, that is, i have, i have a section, for which i am responsible, and for me there were very important processes that were taking place, and i did not want to leave there for a minute or an hour, because i am leaving my personnel, i am leaving units to the left, to the right without intelligence, that is these were such difficulties, and in my opinion at that time there were many servicemen who were more...

deserving of this award than me, and therefore i refused, said that i did not want to receive it, i was going to my staff, the brigade commander persuaded me, he didn't persuade me, well communicated, caused psychological pressure on me due to my official duties, the commander of the tactical group, and my comrades, when they said, yes, commander , you are worthy, you must take, take everything, and then i stayed and received the rank, thank you for that, for the fact that you reached then and... for the fact that i now have the opportunity to talk with you about this, in particular, and 8 hours at the start of the large-scale invasion of gostomel, the importance of the airfield and understanding why the russians focused on it in such a way, not for who already, well, at least for people who are interested in our war, it is no secret that the russians needed this site in order to land their military transport planes with everything they need in the future, and so...
