let's see this cbs channel drew a whole cartoon about this. here comes our fighter. and, uh, it tugs on it a little, as if the reaper is losing control from below. this is a drone. so the reaper is called in translation from english and falls into the sea. and there is another version. she even steeper one flies up from below. you see, and so, as if it were going around from below, then another one, and now the figure was 19 times there. like this, uh, from the bottom up, and our fighter flies up, then in the end. but this drone that you you see, it somehow fills up, or what? or there it got dirty, all uh, with the fuel that the russian military aircraft dumps and this is the laying down of the tv channel to yourself. there, too, they invited, of course, a military expert. and we also called the honored military pilot of russia , major general. vladimir popov contact us

vladimir alexandrovich greetings. greetings. i'm showing the video now. i don’t know if you could see it or not, but you probably already paid attention to it too. how do american journalists also outlined with the help of an expert. here's what happened. how do you like it? indeed, in principle, this can be, but let's start with the fact that how he turned out to be mq is the ninth. yes , look at this big strategic drone, it has a span of only 20 m, its length is 11 m. relation to this drone in its airspace. yes, i understand that uh, well, we have a coastal sovereign airspace is a twelve-mile maritime zone. and , accordingly, it is 22.5 22.2 km. next comes

the exclusive economic zone of 200 miles. and in this exclusive economic zone, which conditionally belongs to, we will say uh, uh, uh, coastal state. more precisely russia today. this is all happening. on the traverse of the crimea, where , by the way, we announced that this is a dangerous zone for flights, and that's why, because in connection with these operations that are carried out and that take place there periodically sortie drg depression-star and by sea and by land. and we need to do this to ensure the safety of the flights of aircraft that are here in this airspace. so, if this, uh, drone is in ours practically in our control airspace and does not designate itself in any way, then we are forced to raise fighters in order not

to intercept, but to identify just this aircraft to determine what it is and is there a threat in our state borders, which we did, and what is he exactly at the corner? in order to e in the direction of the state border, we had to wander twice there, so it is clear that in any case we took measures. eh, that's the kind of character to identify yourself and that 's what happened, what happened, how it happened that the loss of control occurred on the ninth square. this is the second question and the fact that it fell, and according to my information, as it were, the americans saw this, this event. yes, this is the state of affairs ; this time, the second time, in my opinion, they even self-destructed it on their own. so. let's get it right and everything, dot

the legs, although they announce that there will be a protest along the line. the ministry of foreign affairs of russia of course, that's sent. antonov has already been summoned to the state department. in the north , for example, it was somewhere, probably, about ten years ago, there was such a case when, uh, too, uh, poseidon flew a nato reconnaissance. and with our teachings, he came very close to the forbidden zone also declared by us. uh, according to international rules use of airspace. and our e su-27, too, by the way, yes, the flight commander major came up there and was like that and so he hooked one of them with his body, so he got up on the screw and the engine for good. he had two engines and they ate ate taxied it was piloted by a large transport practically reconnaissance aircraft. yes, and he

left. e, in the direction of the norwegian border, perhaps there weren’t even any claims against us. after that, you understand vladimir alexandrovich and here is the question, of course, or was it destroyed, yes, remotely. eliminated by the americans, yes, it is necessary to name. and this is where a lot of people have questions. if he is somehow still floating around somewhere. the connection was lost there, the antenna was broken, and so on. it can somehow be useful for intercepting these technologies from the point of view of technology, if it is simply lifted from the water for a while , it stays on the water for a long time. well, maybe, if he wasn’t badly hurt, and he wasn’t attacked, he wasn’t shot, respectively, tightness. uh, the fuselage and wings itself will be somewhere until 6:00, maybe 12 hours it will be afloat. maybe, but that's unlikely since it's winter. uh, the sea is very rough, so here i don’t

know whether we will search for it and evacuate it, or , accordingly, the forces and means of the corresponding evacuation means of operation with one state in america such in the black sea. no, i know for sure. we have, we can do it, but will we do it, in principle, yes, we could see it. it could be interesting of course, the owner alexandrovich has another question. yes, again, if you read the characteristics of this drone, then it is indicated there that it is a reconnaissance strike, that is, but in the united states they now say, uh. here again, what are we going to be unfounded, the us mq-9 drone did not carry weapons. but how could we know he was disabled? as i understand it, there were all transponders, that is, everything that transmits some kind of signal and somehow find out remotely whether it has weapons or not, that is, our guys made their own the work was done qualitatively correctly

. absolutely right, because we are responsible for our airspace and the airspace adjacent to our territories. first of all, you must take care of your safety , national interests, you will agree in this regard, when any aircraft is flying, unmanned, piloted by turned off identification systems, and it was not notified and no matter how our limiting state was warned. let's say, and uh, we're directly stating that they'll be somewhere work. at least in this area with some tasks of their own, then it would be a different matter. and this is all done, as we say blindly , therefore, get the same result , moreover, moreover, as many military experts have already noted, and the reconnaissance aircraft collects information and transmits it, we know where it is used. she is there for

the purpose of receiving information from them. e in large numbers and even more so there is just an event taking place. well, god bless them with the americans. they may not be offended there. take offense. this is the sixteenth question. eh, of course. but tell me, please, that such a question arises, and we are conducting such operations off the american coast at american bases somewhere that are located outside american territory. you know, as a rule, no, and for two reasons , firstly, as we say, we have and we have a task, and another doctrinal opportunity and a different policy. this is the second time. eh, pretty far. why do we need what interests we have? here uh, fly around state borders let's say or tervobe uh united states of america is another continent vladimir aleksandrovich everything. it's clear. thank you very much vladimir popov, honored military pilot of the russian federation, major general, was

in direct contact with us. uh, we are now moving on to another topic , which, of course, is very related, after all, and we have repeatedly raised just with the help of experts from the ministry of defense with the help of military experts, uh, who, uh, civilians have uh, that is, without shoulder straps. hmm, it has been said repeatedly that the us intelligence-intelligence power is an intelligence force. at all strangely, nato is working for the enemy and collecting all the information and transmitting it to him in probably real time. and hmm, how does this affect the operational situation, how is it now in touch with us ? hello hello well, how is the situation now in uh, this section of the matchmaker, there is a lot of criminal news from there and about the fact

that the ukrainian forces are now, but dug in, and what others say about what they are preparing, uh offensive, there in a month or two, when the unraveling is over, what really happens there. well, it really starts. we have already come from pure operations, whether this is what has already been said. this is a slow advance, and at the same time they are trying to counter attack , trying to restore their position anyway. wherein. yes, there is information that they are accumulating strength so that after the spring they grow to unravel and start advancing. here is one of important directions. for them, as before, there is a direction of crime. they want to cut off the severodonetsk grouping of supplies to the country of russia and seize part of the territory of the luhansk people's republic. and how much . hmm. indeed, this hmm can take place , let's say, yes, now, uh, the dirt will dry up, it will be possible to let the equipment eat.

she is now already in the m-th location of the ukrainian forces pulled up, just to that place, or they just use this temporary varnish, or something before the offensive. that's just already drier months. no, now they, apparently, are only preparing, and to accumulate forces not near the front line, but somewhere in the depths in the kharkov region so that we cannot know exactly the direction of their strike, therefore they are producing a covert hidden accumulation of manpower of equipment. and we can only guess where they will strike and sochi, we are trying to best our position by this moment and be prepared for the fact that the enemy may do something. how fast can they actually build it. eh, here these fortifications, which are now completely located, for example, not far from donetsk and have been going there for a whole year. uh, here,

just a confrontation, that is, we are trying to break through. it doesn't work out there, of course, concrete, but here's how much they can now create something like this in this area. well, you need to understand that they built what they built next to donetsk for a very many years. there 8 years while they reached. in defense, they did not have the opportunity to concrete, build underground communications, connect all this with each other. but i would say that they quickly built a long-term structure in our direction in november, they began to do it. uh, something like pillboxes and concreted long-term reversal structures in the direction of the light green criminal. that is , they are already suggesting that, perhaps, there will be our offensive. and, well, i would say , they started up quite quickly from him, where the structures had time and direct with problems for our entry sergey alexandrovich now. you count a lot of publications and

about e, about the state of the ukrainian army, in particular , and you read the american press, which says that they are running out of military personnel there, that they have few there, well, there are military professionals. now, and so on and so forth, uh, many of your colleagues, whom i also follow their publications in telegrams, say that this is all a duck, which is done specifically to disguise some offensive actions that are already being prepared, to distract attention, in your opinion. eh what is this? well, i think it's hard to figure out disinformation, where the real information now has to be done, yes, of course, you have to do it. we think we'll see. be ready for anything. i'd be prepared for the worst. well, as a rule, it is not necessary to relax. no need to think that everything is bad there for the enemy and you see a cap to cast a mood. they are the worst, therefore , of course, one must prepare for the worst, but realistically assess the enemy, realistically assess

one’s own strengths and be prepared for any development of the situation. we must understand that yes , of course, the enemy at the same time. eh, a lot of power. it was knocked out, including military personnel and specialists during this time, but also to understand that, first of all, they tried to protect first of all, officers of specialists, they were looking for furry emotions, and also sergey alexandrovich is another acute question. hey, he gets up too. indeed, how very essential such. yes, it does. e even have many fears that we would have supplies now. well, i won’t say with ammunition, just some kind of acute shortage there is some kind of shortage crisis, but most often there is a problem with ammunition. this is logistics. this is delivery, this is warehouses. you remember the warehouses had to be destroyed , the delivery shoulder was increased and therefore there are rather logistical problems. there is something uh. what is the problem with the real speech of ammunition, but on the other hand, of course, never take an infinite amount and the factories that exist

in russia were probably not intended for such a large-scale war. now, as far as i understand, the production of everything there is increasing all ammunition is modernized by the factory, new ones are created and i hope that even if it occurs, if there is a shortage, it will be gradually compensated, but, but this does not affect both abilities in any way and yet. any lack of ammunition is reflected in combat capability, because fighting is throwing shells at each other with bullets and so on. i mean, it's just going on right now. this confrontation is art from the other side of our side. well she always has, she always has, at least the last a few months. she is very active and activity does not subside. sometimes fades. it gets a little higher there, but, in general , the artillery does not subside in letters, after all, sergey alexandrovich thank you very much for clarifying the situation. e, sergey fomchenko in the commander of a volunteer battalion. the russian

legion was in direct contact with us. and we will continue to monitor e hmm that is, the situation that is developing on the fronts of the special military operation. hmm now hmm let's contact the adviser in rio to the head and the donetsk people's republic yany gagin yan dmitrievich hello we can't contact him unfortunately, let's now yes, we are discussing international issues. uh, director general, uh of the russian union of international affairs ivan timofeev is in touch with us ivan nikolaevich greetings. hello good afternoon. hello. now, you've probably heard this drone story by now, yes, with all the controversy that arises in the united states right and wrong and not, of course, from their point of view. we will always always be wrong and always be wrong. here they are, they called our ambassador. eh, well, uh threatens. it's

diplomatically there with some kind of dimash or something, because our side is also a lesbian. we can prove everything to say why we are right. and why are they not right, for example, yes? you know, i think two things are important here. er, first of all, this incident took place near the border of the russian federation and not the united states of america, that's a big difference. uh, secondly, our relationship with the us and with the us allies with the so -called collective west is already at such a low point, uh, that it's seriously change them further down through this incident. e, it will be very difficult, that is, in other words. if we, in principle, do not care what they think there. well, well, by and large, yes, that is, it’s unpleasant that this is happening in the sense that such incidents, uh, are fraught with m-th risks, albeit small, but nevertheless some kind of escalation more

serious, uh, incidents, and in general, well, in such a situation of general tension in our relationship. uh, what's called a spark can get into a barrel of gasoline? here we hope that it's not going to happen, but overall, if you look at the quality of the relationship, uh, i don't think it's going to change much. well, about iskorki, about barrels of gasoline here, in my opinion, welding is just going on in the warehouse. lubricants now, and i mean what happened at nord stream. here is the most popular meme right now. unfortunately, i can't find it on the internet right now. that's what, uh, divers are investigating. uh, what happened to the northern streams, they see some traces. uh, i just drank some kind of american flag. and everything now rests on the fact that the american side pointed this out, and uh, nikolai patrushev, in particular, they say that the western press is trying to divert

attention, in general, from who can really be the instigator, in general, of all this, that is, the customer performer, but and so on. all this decree was even so veiled. eh , that this e could be one of the permanent members, he is safe, and here is what to expect further, in your opinion. well, i think that, of course, no one on will not take official responsibility for undermining due to sabotage. the important thing is that a project in which russia has invested years of labor and billions, then tens of billions of dollars , is a project that was mutually beneficial for both russia and the buyer of our gas. e in europe, uh, destroyed or dealt a heavy blow. uh, through this sabotage , that is, yes, before that there were attempts to impose sanctions and sanctions were introduced, that is, even under trump

, trump openly said that he would crush nord stream with sanctions in order to clear it for the americans energy market in europe but sanctions are one thing and another. uh, direct sabotage, that is, still does not allow for investigation. yes, they feed us some kind of food there, and a communiqué or whatever it is called in diplomatic language, that is, what they carry in themselves is nothing at all. no meaning , no information. yes, with some kind of replies we indicate to them, guys, give us the information that we need, this is our gas pipelines. and we want to know what happened to them, who the hell are they, take it , they tell us that well, we can have something there. provide you, but not the information you need. we can force them. i mean those countries that are involved in the investigation. danya sweden germany in that they were obliged to provide us with information to allow our e-specialists to investigate. i am afraid that russia

will not be fully admitted to this investigation. because they can hide, because to know who it was unpleasant facts. yes, but on the other side. i think the westerners will try to save face. uh, that is to hush up and just say that well here happened and happened to us anyway, they also can’t, that is, they can’t shoot, they will go there, but now there are signs of where it is going, that this is some kind of group. there is something about ukrainian here that is not connected with government structures. here is something at your own discretion, which means that you took it, laid it down and undermined it. yes, the wording is there. sorry for interrupting all the time. the wording is right there. this was very interesting. why is this some kind of pro-ukrainian group, but, which consists of citizens of ukraine and russia not connected with official kiev there, here in e. the washington post, in my opinion, in plain text it was just in case they indicated that they are connected with official kiev is strange, of course, very strange, especially since such operations, of course, they are

impossible with hands. eh, the so-called. uh, here, structures not connected with any governments. that is, it is a high level. e already actions that are simply impossible without a coordination with certain government structures or with their support. yes, or with their support, but otherwise that we are raising this issue now at the un he. eh, what can change? here is a discussion that what vaughn rises is correct. uh, because, first of all, uh, by and large , this is so terrorism. uh, this is a violation of international law russia as a permanent member of the un security council , especially as a country that has suffered material damage. hey, this is a perfectly legitimate question. uh, raises strictly speaking, not only russian property suffered, because the project is not russian international

this is an international consulate. eh, this is property and a number of european companies, roughly speaking, it would be in their interests, of course, to investigate this issue objectively as well. well, we understand that now, in the current political conditions, they will not agree to this, so now russia will be the only country that will raise questions in this particular vein. uh, it's good that we uh, it's always considered safe. we can raise this issue at the highest level. i'm afraid the only thing is that , as it were, we are unlikely to succeed, er, force or to encourage our e-contractors abroad to full-fledged russian participation in the investigation. it's just that here you can imagine a completely different situation. rather, the same situation, but it applies to some other gas pipeline that , for example, supplies gas from norway to europe here's some

damage. yes, someone there, then suggested that this could be behind some kind of pro-e, russian group and so on. yes. let's imagine. so i’m purely rhetorically suggesting, i’m not arguing here, well, it’s clear that many proposals can be made here, but what would the international reaction be then, yes, and there, if this happened before a special military operation, for sure, they would impose on us. would there be any sanctions yes, there would be a demarche, uh, hmm again uh, diplomatic also uh, hmm antonov would be summoned to state departments and so on, it will be broken yes, yes, yes, well, we know this can be done special reasons, but ivan nikolaevich now, if we return to the story of the downed drone. we can somehow use it diplomatically, for example, or in the un security council. well, i think that this situation shows that the russian side will not tolerate it. eh, such moves are at

their borders. yes, there is a red line, it was broken and followed, the corresponding answer. this shows the seriousness, which means russian russian intentions, let's say the seriousness of these red lines, that they are not they just work, but i think that in this case, uh, they are unlikely to uh, uh , bring this situation to some kind of escalation. at least from our side. that is , i think that it is in our interests not to allow it. uh, crossing these red lines, but at the same time controlling skala yes, thanks to ivan timofeevich, the general director of the ersmd was in direct contact with us. eh, let's go back. now let's get to the situation in the zone of the special military operation, of course, and now one of those questions that arise is what is happening in the area artyomovsk, what? how are our guys feeling there? the main thing is what about the prospects? as far as we really, what we control there now and, uh, what we can count on in

the near future. although, of course, forecasts, here , uh, build military affairs. e. so, sitting in the studio is a very ungrateful job adviser in rio to the head of the donetsk people's republic yangagen direct contact with us dmitrievich greetings. hello. hello it can be said that actually there as already actually and a few weeks ago a few weeks before go fierce battles the city is in operational encirclement. this suggests that , uh, almost all uh, roads, uh, leading into the city are controlled by our artillery. uh, our forces are occupying. uh. well, about 50% of the city itself. eh, the battles in the industrial zone are quite serious, because the industrial zone is, let's say , all the more fortified, prepared as a fortress. this is a very serious object , it is very difficult to storm. uh, again, our strengths are based on the experience gained earlier, including in solidarity. eh, and i'm sure it's all there

in the end it will be good. and in principle, we can say that the city itself will be taken in any case, uh, by the same forces that are there, by the same ones that took, uh, solidarity and by those who, in fact, are conducting the assault actions of artyomovsky, for more than a week. e. this means that the enemy regularly attempts to counterattack the counteroffensive, they are stopped, while the enemy suffers serious losses both in manpower and in equipment. e periodically from the city from artyomovsky some scattered parts. e vsu. uh, i know that the roads are controlled, they are trying to retreat about the villages about sunny roads, fields, or through forest plantations, but again, uh, with uh, all the equipment is in the spring thaw. uh, he just lays down on his belly, and they have to retreat, respectively, already, uh, we write in order. and yet they carry. losses, that is, equipment becomes an easy target, and you don’t particularly fight just on foot in such conditions. as for other areas, the situation is about the same. i think that e second

the same possible cauldron, er, which , by the way, artyom is now comparing with the debal cauldron, which he didn’t want to yet, but everything is going to that and the possibility of the next one will be fd completely. you can, because there are also very serious battles going on. e, our forces are working our artillery, semi-industrial, on which the enemy is entrenched in their positions. e , just the same way, this is the uledar direction and further south. uh, now the initiative was in the hands of our uh, military personnel in the hands of our forces. uh, at the same time we apply our aviation videoconferencing artillery, regularly strike behind enemy lines, destroying the location and weapons depots. as a matter of fact, both weapons and ammunition. uh, actually prevented the enemy from replenishing this ammunition on the front line, uh, lately, but not recently, as if there was some kind of conscience somewhere, that the enemy, by the way, for some reason stopped actively taking it.

e the bodies of their dead, and there it can be connected either with the fact that the enemy is trying to hide real losses, or, uh, trying to avoid some kind of social payments, or perhaps some kind of popular anger against the background of this side of the mobilization of the grave, as it was baptized in ukraine, uh, the losses are quite significant, uh, the bodies that lie along the entire line of military contact. but it counts. it's just that there are thousands, and thousands of bodies, and they are not included in the general statistics. e killed or wounded, that is, they are not included in the statistics of losses, that's why all the losses that the enemy calls and makes himself public in the foreign press. including them, uh, let's say well, not quite correct. well, yes, unrecorded loss, so to speak, yes, which should be taken into account. i understand that no one is going to. i'm dmitrievich thank you for being with us live. let me remind you that we talked with the adviser to the acting head of the donetsk people's republic, yan

gagin. thank you for your attention. to samara and orenburg where the peak of the flood has already been passed. and where is the incident with the american drone in the black sea being prepared for the rise in the water level, where is the video from the fallen reaper and why, if it is the pentagon and has not yet been published? the russian armed forces took control of a part of the industrial zone in the kupyansk direction , this is reported by the ministry of defense, and a sabotage and reconnaissance group of the armed forces of ukraine was liquidated in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe village of sinkovka. and a special report by georgy selected from the african republic of malawi, where did they start applying?
