and defense and intelligence will definitely have complaints.l, mr. fedora, if we talk in general about the capabilities of our state to the resistance, which we have already more than confirmed and demonstrated and continue to do so, and it is important to talk about the development of events, we are keeping the most positive signals now from our partners. that is how they are read members of our delegation who are currently working abroad, in your opinion, will we be able to get a decisive yes from all the most important players in this field about long-range weapons and, accordingly, about aviation ? i have no doubt that ukraine will receive aviation, will receive aviation and long-range artillery systems and missiles there, but the question , unfortunately, lies in the nuances, and the nuances are that our partners , despite the fact that they demonstrate well probably not since the second world war, we have seen unity in helping the country that became the object of an unprovoked and terrorist aggressive war. at the same time, unfortunately

so on the one hand, we take defense more seriously and european defense. and you highlighted this has actually made some pretty remarkable steps forward over over the last year on the other hand. and we still had a major problem when it comes to defense fragmentation. and the steps forward that have been made in that respect are not particularly impressive. and on top of that, you could also make the argument there actually the last year, and this goes to also the trans atlantic dimension took to all of this over the last year. our defense dependence on the united states has massively increased. so here we are on the one hand taking defense more seriously and european defense more seriously. on the other hand, our dependence on the united states increasing and this doesn't particularly make for a great recipe for the future of the trans atlantic relationship, where i think there's interest actually on both sides of a more balance partnership. so how do we kind of reconcile that contradiction as a meeting with that? that just got me question. look, it does

karim said about the holy defense week. fajr international film festival is present, let's see this report and then continue the conversation about farara's thoughts of escaping from prison, some people think of the community, and the only successful escape in holy history was inspired by this fact, despite the fact that the script was written for two years, and finally this year, the conditions for its production were provided thanks to the efforts of the farabi cinema foundation. the captivity this time was from the camp of the hypocrites. col. soraya made a lot of garbage. in fact, it is a good fact to narrate a film based on the real experiences of soraya abdullahi, which shows a part of the crimes of the hypocrites. the audience to the era of eight years the holy defense has a well-known hero in its heart. fragments from the life of martyr boroujerdi, almost a corner of the services and initiatives of martyr sattari in hyper. the script started in 1999, at the end of 1999, and after a year and a half in 1401, it was fi

defense ministers, as well as the ukraine defense contact group in brussels. well, the main goal of this group is of course to see what is needed on a battle feel in ukraine and then to try try to provide you quinn with the weapons systems and with military equipment that is needed. and of course we heard here from native chief salton berg, but also from other defense minister say that now time is of essence. they are aware of the fact that ukrainian commanders are facing a very difficult time that they have to, to make some tough choices. because of course, they are afraid of running out of ammunition. so, and at the same time we see the russian forces are intensifying at their attacks. so of course, added nato allies here, as well as some 20 partners who have come here together to discuss what needs to be delivered to the crew to ukraine. know that they need to come with some new announcements with some new pledges. i was kind of seeing a live pictures there of the contact group coming together. now nato stoke max seems to have a very clear stand on this. he

the defense coalition, the secretary of defense of the united states, lloyd austin , is opening the ninthered in brussels, so let's go live. thank you, everyone. good morning. it's great to see you all members of the contact group of the ban of ukraine. i want to express my deepest condolences to those who lost their loved ones as a result of the earthquake in syria and turkey. we will remove it, but it continues immediately . to respond in order to help those who are now in such dire need as a result of such a tragedy indeed . it is a great honor for me to be here today with such distinguished colleagues and we have gathered here in order to once again strengthen our efforts in order to provide ukraine with everything it needs and show putin that he will not succeed in achieving his goals, because ukraine, the ukrainian government is democratically elected, ukraine is fighting for its freedom last week, president biden said that putin's invasion is such a test for the ages this is a test for the whole world, and ladies and gentlemen, we confirm solidarity with ukraine, we united in order

and i want to thank the ministers of defense and the chiefs of defense that were here today.epresenting 54 countries that will continue to participate in this group. the actions of those leaders over the past year have contributed substantially with real effect on the battlefield and they collectively have demonstrated unwavering commitment to the defense of ukraine. a special -- he will continue to display exceptional leadership and my friend who is on the battlefield every day needing his country's defense. 10 days from now, it is the one-year anniversary when russia brutally, illegally and on a completely unprovoked way invaded the sovereign nation of ukraine. as the secretary just pointed out, putin thought he could defeat ukraine quickly, fracture of the nato alliance and act with impunity. he was wrong. he remains free, it remains independent. it has never been stronger and russia is a global pariah. the world remains inspired by ukrainian bravery and resilience. in short, russia has lost. they have lost strategically, operationally and tactically and they how are playi

i will remind the ministry of defense.e way, this is the ministry of defense some kind of cyclical nature of the previous minister taran and the heads of the deputy departments were also accused of bribery and the waste of funds related to the nutrition of the armed forces of ukraine. i will remind you that the previous resignations also related to this story to taran. during yanukovych 's time, stories appeared from time to time that something was wrong with us in this area, that is, it is the most corruption-prone area , it exists, no one denies it, i hear this story from various sources, but she was not something that was hidden from the general , from the expert investigator of the investigative community, that is, they knew to talk about her, but time is gaining, and the right time is in quotation marks when it is brought out. this story is picked up on the surface and strengthened and this time coincides with the fact that the leadership of internal affairs is headed what is happening in the media, in fact , a confro

in fact, the ninth ramstein has ended for ukraine . and personnel changes in the ministry of defense, lieutenant general oleksandr pavlyuk , who after the russian invasion was responsible for the defense of the kyiv region, became the first deputy minister of defense oleksiy reznikov, probably for this appointment the day before, volodymyr zelenskyi signed a decree allowing military personnel to hold positions in the ministry of defense because it is prohibited by law, what does such an appointment mean, and what other personnel changes will take place in the ministry of defense in the near future, svoboda life says today , there are no solutions regarding fighter jets for ukraine, or they will try to collect supplies as soon as possible. this is it i briefly told you the briefing of the us secretary of defense lloyd austin and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the us, general mark mila based on the results the meeting of the contact group on the defense of ukraine in the rammstein format, which was held today in brussels at the nato headquarters, journalists asked them sev

yes, and the ministry of defense , which is exactly. well, it has slightly different powers. it cannot have such a large number of people . because if 621 one person is reduced, then there are two points a. what is the number of people in the ministry of defense and who was really screwed, and how was such a number reduced, and in principle i do not know whether the minister of defense can be empty well here, but different there, he said that this is not the last personnel changes and reshuffles, the announcement of what will happen next, the goal reload the department, well, let's just understand so that our viewers clearly understand and do not fall for certain by the way, manipulative theses that today are trying to be promoted by the supporters of returning the old formula for the leadership of the ministry of defense the ministry of defense - it is convenient when a military man heads it this is a department, well , let's remember taran, he was an efficient minister of defense, well, what are the comments? hrytsenko, who once said that he was the best minister of defense

it is very important for the development of the ministry of defense. of course, this is a different position and i am sure that general budanov will do because it is obvious that this general is a person who is trying to grow in a constant sense and i am sure that he will do it. another question is that this is really a political position here. it is completely different. let's put it this way. the threat of challenges here is not always a fair game, you don't always know who is the enemy and who is the friend , in this way it is a little different from the combat situation on the battlefield, what general bohdanov is used to, you know better than me , political let's put it this way, the jungle this is a slightly different situation and that's why there's another important thing here, the team, that is, reznikov has his own team that actually dealt with international issues , let's say international military-technical cooperation, and here i'll repeat myself again 12 points , but for example, reznikov's team is obvious somewhere, it did not work from

i want to remind you that two days before invasion, minister of defense varshikov on february 22.general, he said that there will be no invasion because there are no signs, because russia has not deployed its strike groups near the borders. he just fired this person who has absolutely no command of the situation, does not understand what he is saying. well, these are already small things, and i want to tell you that there are such things, not politics, and there are a lot of them, just now, the war and journalists can't talk about everything, about the activities, the results activities of the ministry of defense itself, because it can harm the interests of national security, but we see that under the pressure of our western partners, there is a little transparency, at least in economic affairs. well, we are starting to open up a little. maybe they are not obliged to say and hint at it, but it looks like reznikov has good contact with western partners , look at the good kadnak in the west, in the western partners, the officials of the state of ukraine have no problem, if you put a

the defense. this world is more dangerous and unstable the peak of the cold war. china's on the march economically, diplomatically and technologically. rushes on the deck, iran us on the verge of nuclear weapon north korea continues to test long-range missiles. all the state help make the case for robust funding while also pushing to get more bang for the buck. we are spending far more than the reagan buildup the fighting force is 50% smaller. that is where secretary, as well as her leadership in the congress and others want to basically increase the size of a naval combatants to navy and marine corps. let me mention a couple statistics about china. this is coming from the u.s. government's own assessment. this is not me, this is the united states government. china's defense budget exceeded 260 billion in 2021. investment which is procurement r&d exceeding u.s. on a purchasing power parity, which is analysis they do to reconcile the discrepancies cia estimates trident gdp at $23 trillion on a purc

mobilization announced by putin, i consider it necessary to support the proposals of the ministry of defense general staff to carry out a partial mobilization in the russian federation, in many buryat villages only children and a pensioner remained among the peasants there is one simple question. is there a future for the people, where even before the war there were demographic problems, the birth rate of buryats can become a minimal reserve of 77-year -olds, starting in 2014 in buryats, not a gradual decline in birth rates in 8 years, the burden on family homes has literally decreased. of beets dropped to minimal values ​​during the great patriotic war response on the surface buryatia lost so many men in the first year of the great war that cemeteries have to set a special task of training people which ones? no journalists. so, god forbid, everyone will learn about the real losses. please leave the territory with the camera. they must leave the territory . i wo n’t spoil anything. there were no parties taking into account that the intensity of hostilities is only increasing, ukraine is gett

, the air defense forces carry out electronic attack and electronic defense, as well as carrying out steps of moving and the mobility of systems and the creation of new non-active and active defense tactics together with air training will actually be carried out . in addition to what i told you, one of the indicators of this series of exercises and the conduct of this exercise in the skies of the islamic republic of iran will be presented. write that in different stages of real combat, resilience and air defense capabilities are the sovereignty and difference in the skies of the islamic republic of iran until the last moments when there is a possibility of a threat actually happening and this actually happens with combined tactical measures electronic warfare, electronic eavesdropping, electronic attack, and air defense in different fields and stages will be carried out in the area that was actually presented to you. thank you very much, amir brigadier general abbas faraji, spokesman for the joint air defense exercise of asman province 1401. explanations in especially the dimensions

the defense and security forces of the air defense force of the army had adopted a plan for this challenge systems and small spy and military bird hunters were facing a defense net , consisting of the 12 shah hunter and explorer systems that were waiting for them. the officers and non-commissioned officers involved the exercises were proud of their fathers, they were proud of unassuming, faithful fathers, and of course clothes to maintain the security of the country, because they don't hesitate for a moment, this is iran, the air defense force of the army is the same as all the military of the country, determined to support the security of its sky, the sky that is forever above us. it will be the homeland and the body will be unified and of course united for you , our mother, let us only have the promise of one person in the electoral field, let us have a common opinion on fundamental issues, let us be united, the most important and fundamental issue, and this issue is not important . this is a betrayal of the people of iran and the ideals of the nation are to be in every nation of iran an

exactly one year ago, the minister of defense, mr.nikov , wrote based on the results of his conversation with the minister of defense of the republic of belarus, saying that from there we can to expect an insidious blow in the back, literally a few days passed and it was from the territory of the republic of belarus that enemy troops moved in order to attack and buy the territory of kyiv. this is reznikov's conversation with the belarusian visa took place exactly on february 14, 2022, and then by the way literally two days before the big offensive this conversation was repeated on february 26, as reznikov himself told, he called the minister of defense of the republic of belarus and handed over the ultimatum even more densely ukraine must surrender to this timeline we are all very well we remember. thank you, colonel, for participating in the program. it was vladyslav seleznyov, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, a military expert, friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel and also on our social networks, join our social

a host of smaller defense products. and according to claims by defense ministry, these exports are rising by over 50 percent every year. so there's definitely a potential there for the kind of quotes that prime minister movie has talked about . these export items that are being sent to many countries include protective items, spectral vessels of light helicopters, and at least 70 percent of this is coming from india. private sector gate, that's how we do live in a very insecure world, obviously, but who's going to buy india as a $5000000000.00 worth of defense exports. but you'll be surprised gate. the defense ministry already claims that the over $75.00 countries across the world that are buying from india. these include countries which much smaller defense needs than india to the big guns. as, as it may of these countries include smaller ones like ma, leaves of even naples, malicious. but these also include countries but big defense budgets of their own. like france, like russia, like israel, like even egypt. so there

more active phase than it was in the last 5 years, so that's why, in short, we need to join the er defense of the country not only those who left at the beginning of this offensive by the russians, and somehow broader groups joined in. well, this is a machine, a deputy of the kharkiv regional council , an officer of the national guard of ukraine, ivan krychevskyi , a military expert, defect express, and now serhiy rudenko is coming to replace me with the verdict. congratulations serhiy well and we are waiting olga literally in a few seconds we start the verdict program glory to ukraine this is the verdict program my name is serhiy rudenko good day and good health to all today is february 8, the 350th day of the heroic resistance of the ukrainian people to the russian occupiers president zelenskyi will visit britain on wednesday it is expected that the official london will announce about providing ukraine with longer -range weapons and training ukrainian pilots germany will provide ukraine with guided missiles and additional cheetah installations by the end of february , and joseph biden sa

here tonight on the subject of holy defense, which we present to you . watch the report and then we will introduce mehran and talk about holy defense with the topic of the role of the army air defense in wal-fajr 8 operation and the initiative of martyr mansour sattari in this field colonel mansour 100 samani directed by hadi mohammadpour and produced by mehdi azimi in soda district of simorgh chehl and the 1st fajr international film festival is present, the generation of javab, today 's javab, teenagers and children, who died in order not to be infected, and the border is open and this flag is raised, among the historical films of radio javan , another room in the holy defense film group. to the country in 1967 and their defeat in the mersad operation, which junshu directed and produced the straw room at the hands of the commander who made a wrong decision , which is another film of the festival this year. during the fajr film festival among the first week of this film, which was shown here with the theme of holy defense, number 10, made by mr. hamid z

bbc defense columnist jonathan marcus, the scandal surrounding the ministry of defense of ukraine has been going on for several weeks, it is connected with controversial purchases of military ration products were bought at seemingly double or triple inflated prices. there is no evidence that mr. reznikov was personally involved in these machinations, but i believe that he, as the head of this department, and taking into account the fact that the ukrainian president is very eager to create a new face of the ukrainian government that fights corruption, i think that the removal of mr. reznikova is only a matter of time. perhaps he will head the ministry of strategic industries, which would be logical, because as the minister of defense he played a key role in coordinating with nato countries supplies of weapons and other aid to ukraine. it seems to me that mr. reznikov is possibly the least politicized head of the ministry of defense, and this is the main reason why, as i said, he will probably remain in one of the key positions , but for me, the fact that reznikov as the head of the min

air defense using indigenous radar and missile systems. arrival of any hostile bird in the sky of the region in the shortest time, the identification of interception and aircraft, the updating of flight systems and the localization of parts, as well as the maintenance of all types , is admirable. 44 years after the last islamic revolution , our air force was the first place to be sanctioned. they were appointed as advisers to this ground force, but after eight years of holy defense and years after that, they are still at the forefront of reconstruction in the war without the support of manufacturing companies, designing new parts, replacing them with broken parts , updating the emergency exit system. installation of aerial refueling system and enemy radar lock warning systems, recovery and overhaul of 10,600 advanced mig-29 fighters, pilot training and most importantly , participation in the construction of the lightning fighter is one of the most important activities of the second shekari base in tabriz, now after about 45 years since the

colonel, today is the ninth meeting in the format rammstein, the minister of defense of the united states of america, said that the decisions to be made today by the representatives of the anti-putin coalition will allow ukraine to launch a counteroffensive in the spring of 2023 and confront the russian federation. what can rammstein expect from this and how fast will these decisions be? of the anti-putin coalition and p sergey, as always, you ask the question of ruba and it is absolutely appropriate the fact is that between the adoption of political decisions and directly of participation, the equipment and equipment that will be delivered for the needs of the ukrainian army, a certain period of time will pass, which is needed in order to implement certain bureaucratic procedures, then to carry out logistics, then you have armed military equipment, and accordingly , to train ukrainian military personnel who will operate this equipment and also maintain it, it is necessary for this to take a certain period of time. i think that just before spring, our servicemen together with our western

i think it was from the ministry of defense. who are interested in different things. from president zelenskyi's entourage. you can remember who it could be. it could be someone who is offended, or a former contact, for example. well, i don't mean a specific person, i don't know. imprisonment, we will see later, i think we will find out, but for now , who exactly is the specific name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name . that he received this fake passport earlier but did not publish it or had doubts about the passport of an official of the ministry of defense, he practically announced the fake passport then it is valid because he said , wait two days, there will be a representative of the specialized committee of the supreme on behalf of maryana bezugla, she also informed the society about the resignation at the level of a zarachamia, and she said that the resignation was not canceled. she expressed her own point of view because she didn't writ

germany and the netherlands are working together to provide air defense systems a patriot for ukraine france and italy are cooperating on the provision of an anti-aircraft sumpti system and looking around this hall today i know that our unity will only grow, we all understand what the stakes are in the war with russia, it is not only about the right of ukraine to live in peace and security, it is also the enlightenment of our the children will inherit none of us wants to live in a world where autocrats can attack their peaceful neighbors i.e. their borders and bomb their people that is why we have united to defend a world where rules matter where sovereignty is respected and protected civilians will resume production of ammunition for cheetah self-propelled anti-aircraft guns , the government has already signed a contract with the rain metal concern, german defense minister boris historia said. i will remind them that the bundeswehr decommissioned the cheetah back in 2010, before that berlin had problems with ammunition supplies and had to look for them in other countries, ukrainian t

forces of irpin were the forces of local territorial defense in such cities where the line of defenserebuilt, it is the armed forces that are centralized, all the same, people are defending themselves and still people can disperse quite a small area north of kyiv in march. last year, near it, the occupiers made a crossing over the irpin river, according to the commander of the defense of kyiv , colonel-general syrskyi , the roads that could bring the enemy to different parts of the capital converge in the cobblestones the commander -in-chief of the armed forces said the burgher is at the gate to kyiv because you can't give it a look, he said everything you need, we'll give you, we'll help you hold on until the last, if you can't hold even when the enemy found him on the western part on the eastern part inside the central part of the city, the military personnel who were fighting allowed the enemy to completely enter the settlement , the consequences were serious diseases. a year ago, oleksandr vdovichenko led the 72nd brigade that defended the capital after the liberation of kyiv obla

guest: not defense industry but the government, different organizations within the department of defense and partner with us to do research. host: when it comes to issues of defense spending and how it fits into the larger budget, how do you view these things? not only what is being asked by the government but how it is spent. guest: becoming more of a hot button issue now with the new congress. taking a closer look on the overall level of federal spending, you have got to look at it within different context. one, looking at the total amount of defense spending over time, adjusting for inflation. in that respect, we are near the highest we have ever been. even higher than we were at the peak of spending in world war ii, when you adjust for inflation. another way of looking at it is defense spending as a percentage of the economy, a percentage of gdp. in that respect, we are fairly low. we are down to about 3% of gdp spending. how can those to be true? how can it be high in adjusted dollars and lower with gdp? the economy over many decades has grown faster than the defense budget. defense

and defense procurement.the next minister of defense. i am missing one thing. frankly, this is not the first scandal in the procurement of the ministry of defense after 2014. they are always in our country with a frequency of once every three years. now in this discussion, that is, i see a discussion there about whether to fire varshikov or not to fire who will come after reznikov, i did not see it in this discussion, but what will happen to the procurement system so that there is no more opportunities to steal budget money on potatoes and eggs, you understand, and this is actually a great tragedy for our country, because parallelism and discussion a-a who does not know that in january, the government had to consider the draft anti-corruption program prepared by european experts , ukrainian experts together with the national agency for the prevention of corruption, and there is the defense sector in this program and here in this defense sector there are clearly written tasks for the ministry of defense to ens

the defense and security forces of the air defense force of the army had adopted a plan for this challenge, 12 shahs and explorers who were waiting for them, the officers and non-commissioned officers involved in the exercise were proud of their fathers, they were proud of unassuming, faithful fathers, and of course, clothes to maintain the security of the country , because it does not hesitate for a moment, this is iran, the air defense force of the army swears by everyone military of the country determined to support the security of his sky, the sky that will forever be above our heads, and the united body and of course, the united body of omar sharif, the martyr of hamadani. the war has ended . it came to the same society where you and i live . this world is a war because of the atmosphere that there was a storm that existed, this spiritual atmosphere allowed everyone to come back, and this area was considered a sacred defense . behind him was our world, no matter how hard it tried to reach our religion, it did not reach it, but today it is the world we are in front and our religion is

i think it is due to this battle of the defense of the coal mine.requency increased so much. tell me, please, mr. colonel. and what happened under the ugledar is, well, such a typical russian thank you, or well, why did it happen, because 31 of the equipment we just saw this video on the screen, how ukrainian fighters shot this brigade of armored vehicles, and what was happening. why did this happen, that is, their russian the command is not very smart, maybe ours is just smarter , but i think there are many factors, first of all, i think that it is comprehensively well done by intelligence, well done by the guys who were on observation posts who were not able to carry out the early detection of the enemy or reconnaissance, which, with the help of space or our aerial reconnaissance, were able to detect the advance of the enemy, pulled up the reserves in time, aimed and pulled up the artillery, the work of the artillerymen was good. well, the enemy underestimated us and their enemy, and that’s why the planning of the operation is a plus. i think that

all of china's seven s o es now rank in the top 20 defense companies globally in terms of annual defense related revenue according to that methodology. they've been instructed to become more self-sufficient in their funding, innovative and competitive in the future. china's private firms as we just heard provide input into the chinese defense industrial base and encouraged to do so through a national develop a strategy of military fusion. civil military integration is not new in china's case, it is increasingly important as the ple looks to integrate emerging and disruptive technologies into its modernization and war fighting capabilities. most of the innovation is found in china's private sector. we should be cautious to assume the prc's top-down approach leads to immediate or easy successes. there are indications that has been varied. china's defense industrial base has benefited from successive waves of arms imports and reverse engineering, primarily from russia in recent years and reported cases of ip theft which led to perhaps faster develop some technologies than were done purely i

start telling you about the news of ukraine and the world around ukraine thank you, eva , for the defensekyiv and the execution of combat missions in the east, the minister of internal affairs ihor klymenko awarded 96 soldiers of the national guard with bohdan khmelnytskyi orders of the third degree for bravery of the second and third degree, as well as medals for military service to ukraine to the defender of an honest and saved life, the minister thanked the servicemen for their actions that bring victory closer to our defenders during a minute of silence for the fallen soldiers , for the second time in a week, the 110th brigades shot down a su-25 attack aircraft under avdiyivka , journalist andriy tsaplienko reported, the pilot this time allegedly succeeded in ejecting at the same time the ministry of defense of the russian federation has not yet commented on this information, i will remind you that on thursday, an su-25 plane crashed near the ukrainian border in the belgorod region, the pilot did not get out, more than 5 thousand houses were destroyed by their shelling in kharkiv, the

china's defense budget 260 billion. exceeding the u.s. on a purchasing power parity, which is analysis they do to kind of reconcile the discrepancies. cia estimates china's gdp at $23 trillion on a purchasing power parity exceeding the united states at 20 trillion and china has greater industrial capacity. this is the u.s. government. secretary del toro mentioned yesterday in his talk, public talk about the capacity of one of the chinese shipyards. he and i talked about it in the past and they can build 11 surface combatants in a year which is more than all of our five for-profit shipyards can produce. this is a scary thing and china, this is also from the u.s. government, has seven of the top 20 defense companies total revenues 440 billion compared to eight for the united states with 300 billion. think about that. top 20 defense companies, china has seven, 440 billion. compared to eight with the u.s. for 300 billion and as secretary del toro pointed out yesterday, china doesn't have an environmental protection agencies and rules and regu
