defense planning, their larger role of missile defenses. as the pentagon's recent national defense strategy, the classified version noted, missiles he become "a principal means by which adversaries seek to protect conventional or nuclear power." and as such "missile-defense is a core deterrence by denial component" of how we contend with adversaries. we are her today to mark the 40 th anniversary of rona reagan's speech announcing the strategic defense initiative. that speech, which was in march of 1983, came just a few weeks after his evil empire speech, which was march 9. they were all coordinated towards the larger strategic goal of winning and bringing an end to the cold war. one of the most recent books that i wrote was on president reagan's covert action program to provide assistance solidarity. i had the opportunity to talk to a number of folks within that administration and to spend several monthsverall in the reagan library, going through national security council discussions. one of the things i always found helpful about the way

defense, but increasingly greater for theater, missile defense assets. it's a good note to jump over to pepe. pepe, you've got a lot of experience in missile tests, agency. maybe you can give us a little rundown of some of the internal dynamics. >> ok. thanks. appreciate that anthony. , so my writ today is to sort of go through about 30 years ebb and flow in, american missile defense policy and, about five or 6 minutes. i've spent most of my life, my career involved in the various defense reviews, really going back to sort of bush bush 41. but a couple of quick observations. i'd like to like to run through , at least from my perspective, perhaps the two most important things coming out of president reagan's sdi speech was when he reopened the debate about whether the united states should defend itself against ballistic missiles or choose to remain vulnerable. right. not just the homeland, but american military forces deployed abroad. right. and so that was a significant kind of intellectual transformation, even though would be many, many decades before t

missile-defense is primarily dependent on defense that is not ing to be very accurate. it's a kill technologies in the 1970's is giving some missile-defense advocates the idea that this will indeed become a great possibility. unfortately, in the historical narrative it is usually associated with lasers and spac that is the popular narrative. space lasers -- that is a really small chunk of the pie. there is generally bipartisan consensus to detect missile threats this is the most politically sensitive issue as we discussed what was largely killed. they are actually embracing for thspace layer, key ideas were being raised with proliferated constellations maintain custody of all kinds of missile threats. this land that was indigent in the late 80's did not actually come to fruition. but this is probably the third row that a lot of people don't want to touch. because i think you covered almost everything. i would take a bit of a broader point. most significantly in the missile defense arena, we need to treat it like any other major system and continue to infuse new technolo

you were at meetings with the ministry of defense, with the new leadership of the ministry of defense, i think that these issues were raised, and if there are still no changes, is there an explanation why the general staff of the ministry of defense or other structures there are not ready... to switch to this rational way of cooperation with ours defense enterprises? i, i would, you know, i would say that there is no lack of readiness, there is a very constructive discussion with the leadership of the ministry of defense, the general staff, and indeed, now we see very positive trends regarding the readiness to communicate with the industry from the representatives. state authorities, state customers in the field of defense, that is why we are approaching this , believe me, i think that this year we will have successful examples of such contracts, i have already said that, let's put it this way, the first ones are already swallows, for the first positive examples, they are already being followed, so we will hope that this dialogue will be continued, that we together with the state auth

this was reported by the ministry of defense of the russian federation.ttack on the naftobase in the leningrad region is a special operation of the main administration intelligence of the ministry of defense. this is reported by the ukrainian media with reference to data and intelligence sources. yesterday, as a result of an attack by the armed forces of ukraine on the marine training center near sevastopol, 19 servicemen were killed , this is reported by russian telegram channels, so what can you, mr. major, say about the need to transfer the war to the territory of russia, or the ukrainian territory, which is temporarily occupied by the russian, russian army , what is needed for this, because we see. some isolated results with some periodicity, which is not enough for a systemic one work on military facilities on enemy territory? well, let's be honest, if we do not transfer the war to the territory of the enemy, then the territory of ukraine will be destroyed, and this is already clear, israel is an example for all of us in this context, where the war c

nato countries ordered about a thousand missiles for patriot air defense. the production contract was signed by germany, romania, the netherlands and spain. the munitions will cost $5.5 billion and will be entirely manufactured in europe. zmi claims that part of the alliance will be transferred armed forces russia, according to western intelligence , is already releasing 1.5 million projectiles a year from the conveyor. factories produce weapons in three shifts, and europe is still asleep, even one million is not enough now. f-16 fighters of the air defense system are what ukraine needs right now. in the near future, ukraine is preparing to receive more than fifty f-16 fighters from the netherlands and denmark. france is going to join the training of ukrainian pilots, more than doubles the production of artillery shells finland to not only strengthen. its defense capability, but also to transfer some weapons to ukraine, because, as the head of the european council , charles michel, pointed out, russia obviously does not seek peace. in response to increased

in addition, judge dolshko called the ministry of defense of ukraine a private company, referring to the fact that the department has identification code of a legal entity. he also called the cabinet of ministers a private company. the judge claims that the ukrainian government owns the private foreign company dandbreet, citing foreign registries. also, the judge believes that territorial assembly centers do not have the right. staff the armed forces, and can only offer to conclude an employment contract. at the same time, the judgment emphasizes that coercion into a labor contract is a form of slavery. however , judge serhiy dolshko is not the first to surprise with his logic when making court decisions. in 2021 in 2018, he substantiated the illegality of the introduction of quarantine in ukraine, and in 2018, he... impersonated an entrepreneur who was arrested while handing over a bribe to the chief of the zinkiv police, within a year he closed the case against the ex-head of the zinkiv district state administration, who filed a declaration in time and fled from the police. at the

the head of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense, kyrylo budanov , predicted on the air of the telethon that the offensive of the russians will soon be in autumn and winter. will run out and then ukraine's move will begin. budanov says that this move will take place, and obviously this move will take place already in the spring, because actually there are a month or so 29 days left until spring. and it is clear that budanov has his own vision, but budanov also gave a lot of different predictions about and crimea and the development of events at the front, can we perceive... these forecasts as those that can really be implemented in the spring of this year. well, i wouldn't say that they will be implemented in the spring, first of all , the russian offensive will really end in the spring. why will it end? well, first of all, it is impossible to advance in such an intensive manner, because since october they have been conducting a simply frantic offensive in various directions, on a huge front, starting from kupyansk and ending. indeed the left bank of the kherson

so we see that even on defense, even on defense, even though we got the latest pro patriot and sampt systems, there's. well, there is a certain lack of elaboration, because i have named the army complexes, that is, the complexes that will protect our troops on the battlefield, not about peaceful cities, i am talking now, but... about the advancement of the ukrainian army and what we need to convince our partners that we should start not with what can be done, but from what we need first of all, these air defense complexes. i'm not talking about the fact that in september of the 23rd year, the united states armed with an army complex... anti-drone drones with a laser system, and we wouldn't be against having such complexes either, so they have armed only one battalion so far, this is the newest complex, but at least within the framework of, say, the testing of such weapons, or within the framework of the joint promotion of laser anti-drone programs, because such joint actions are carried out by the united states with the british. and in the same september 23rd in britain synchronously

so we see that even in defense, even in defense, even in spite of that we received the latest pro patriotnd sampt systems, there is, well, a certain lack of work, because i named now precisely the army complexes, that is, those complexes that will protect. our troops on the battlefield are not about peaceful cities, i am talking now, but about the advancement of the ukrainian army, and about the fact that we need to convince our partners that we should start not with what can be done, but with what we need first of all, these air defense complexes, i am not talking about the fact that in september 23 of the year of the union... the states armed themselves with an army anti-drone complex drones with a laser system, and we wouldn’t mind having such complexes anyway, so they have armed only one battalion so far, this is the newest complex, but at least within the framework of, say, testing such weapons, or within the framework of the joint promotion of laser anti-drone programs . because the united states conducts such joint actions with the british, and in the same september 23, britain sim

according to the russian ministry of defense, air defense systems successfully repelled an attack by at least five drones in the tula, smolensk and oryol regions. traditionally, no one and nothing was hurt. russia recognized the death of the commander of the il-22 plane shot down over the sea of ​​azov. major viktor klimko died from shrapnel wounds, while the plane was still in the air. so the co-pilot had to land the damaged il-22 - writes the local crimean public. klimov is a hereditary occupier, his father sturman. let me remind you that on january 14, the defense forces of ukraine shot down one of the most expensive russian reconnaissance aircraft a50 over the sea of ​​azov and damaged it. il-22. ukraine has started the construction of a large-scale defense line, it is 100 km long - writes the publication for the telegraph. it consists of three levels. systems of trenches, tank traps, strongholds and mass mining, also create new concrete ones trenches and underground command centers. such a fortification takes place near avdiivka, lyman and kupyansk. a strong line of defense arou

valery, we still have a moment and i would like your short reply, perhaps regarding the polish defense which zelenskyi spoke about today. with tusk , what means can we talk about in general , we understand that poland has certain means that we need, and what could hypothetically be the means that we would need, that poland could provide us now, if we are talking about some kind of defense package, well, here we should talk about the fact that poland has been supporting ukraine for a long time, and of course, one of such means of action, which transmitted poland and which is also working on further production, these are the same krap artillery systems that have proven themselves to be very effective on the... battlefield and it really can be uh more ammunition for these systems, in addition, well, polish industry supplies and modern drones and reconnaissance and kamikaze drones, which also show their effectiveness in destroying, including anti-aircraft missile systems of the enemy. despite the fact that it is precisely these anti-aircraft missile systems that should oppose such drones,

anti-aircraft defense is a very important anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense, and therefore they definitely track and try to damage the means anti-hail, anti-missile defense. but anti-aircraft defense is a means of protection, their purpose is to strike objects, and if last year most of them were infrastructure objects, we remember. that during the winter they wanted to go on lockdowns in order to, well, blow up heat, light and so on, that is , to suppress the moral and psychological state of our citizens, and this is for the majority, not only were there also military facilities, but that's it, the last between the end of last year and the beginning of this year, they pay significant attention to striking on military objects, in that... and on the line of sight, it is involved that they almost did not do there with rockets, for example, with their shaheds, they diverted to their there orterel, salvo systems and so on, and now they go, and on military objects are airfields, these are enterprises, they are looking for development, they are conducting military-industrial complex of

air defense is very important anti-hail, anti-missile defense. defense, and that is why they definitelyitor and try to damage anti-aircraft missile defense, but anti-aircraft defense is a means of protection, their purpose is to strike objects, and if last year most of them were infrastructure objects, we remember we believe that they wanted to go to lockdowns during the winter so that they would well, to undermine heat, light and the like, that is, to suppress the moral. the psychological state of our citizens, this is the majority, not only were there also military facilities, but just like that, recently, at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, they pay significant attention to striking military facilities, including on the contact line, it is involved, which they almost did not do there with missiles, for example, with their shaheds, there they took to their there... volley systems and so on, and now they are also going to military facilities, these are airfields, this enterprises, looking for development, conducts the military-industrial complex of ours. ours , that

, the better it will be for national security and defense, but mr.tefanchuk today, well, he was helped by the muscovites, who actually raised their aviation and in the country ... an air alert was announced, but he again did not put this issue on the agenda, did not put it to a vote, we went into consideration of another draft law, and in general the verkhovna rada worked very poorly, yesterday, today for an hour and a half, i am convinced , that today it is obvious that the speaker of the parliament is not able to organize the work of the verkhovna rada, we will demand to put this issue to the vote in the next one. i also wanted to clarify, we know that today your colleagues started collecting signatures for the resignation of ruslan stefanchuk, if you can to report more details, in fact, i understand that this is caused by the fact that he violates the regulations, and accordingly, the opposition deputies to the government decided to collect signatures now , do you think it will be possible to collect the necessary number of signatures for such a v

in the context of kyiv's support, the bulgarian defense minister said that the shipment of 100 defenseersonnel carriers to ukraine has not yet begun. the same applies, for example, to canada, which officially appealed to the united states with a request to transfer the nasams system to ukraine as soon as possible, which was paid for almost a year ago. why does this happen? why are these lengthy processes, it is logistics , it is bureaucracy, this is the root cause of the fact that kyiv cannot receive the promised aid, you know, just last week i had discussions with representatives of canada and the expert environment, and they were really shocked that how does it happen that the decisions were agreed upon, and they take the new ones very seriously, let's say, negatively. that nasams has not yet been installed, that is, they are now calling on the canadian government and politicians to take measures there, i think that is why canada and activated there are a number of explanations for this , it is a bureau, it is a bureaucracy first of all, i will give you an example, you know, for exam

a combo strike to try to bypass the air defense system. the defenders knocked down 21 targets, but the situation for them is increasingly difficult. according to the white house, the stockpile of missiles for... air defense systems in ukraine is decreasing, the enemy understands this and is trying to exhaust our air defense. the russians are trying to oversaturate ukraine's air defense systems and are not hitting all of their intended targets, which is why it is so important that congress approves additional funding. ukrainians are already forced to adopt tough decisions on the battlefield as to whether they are going to fire or keep the missiles in reserve, and the russians know it. washington provided the last package of military support to ukraine on december 20. 8. the american administration has no funds for new ones. congress still hasn't approved the more than $60 billion aid package that president joseph biden introduced back in october 2023. against this background , the 18th rammstein was held online this week. us defense secreta

of this operation, you can sit for several years in strategic defense, you can talk about it, but there will be no key changes, so the question is not about personnel issues, but the question is how we will be able to solve the turning point of the war in the 24th year, actually carry out the beginning of the de-occupation of crimea, this is the key issue, and when we look at this... let's say this situation, then the question of personnel disappears, that is , the main question here is who will be able to carry out such an operation that will be able to break this the war if general zaluzhny can do it, he can do it, if president zelenskyy believes that other personnel are needed who will decide the fate of the ukrainian nation in this war, i think it can be done, because in fact, despite the fact that there really is emo factor still, i would, i believe that it is necessary to return to a still more technological question, a disciplined question of how we can achieve a result in this war, and not to look after all at the emotional, political processes that are always raging in us in th

in 1024, the defense forces of ukraine will mainly be on the defensive.his is 100%. to refer entirely to the first quarter, we are talking about the lumano-kupyan army, the donetsk and ughlodar areas, because that is where the enemy throws all his mobilization reserves, but will we really only defend ourselves in the 24th. the most promising direction of movement of the defense forces this winter, military experts consider kherson oblast, which is on the left bank, near the wells, to be incredible. our defenders are holding their positions with efforts, from there, only 60 km to the occupied crimea, and it is this bridgehead that can become decisive during a counteroffensive. i do not rule out that the left-bank kherson region will be an exception, and our bridgehead is there, it will not only maintain its presence, but also be able to expand to some area of ​​liberated territories. but how to do this, because while on the left... on the shore of the kherson region, we have neither an advantage in manpower, nor in the air, nor in armored vehicles. it is n

the russian ministry of defense announced the alleged downing of 36 drones. over the peninsula, they traditionally believe that no destruction or damage was recorded. there was also an explosion in belgorod, russia, where air defense forces allegedly shot down 10 aerial targets, said the governor of the region, vyacheslav gladkov. according to him, two people were injured, also due to shelling, broken windows in an apartment building, damaged roof and about 30 cars. one person died, seven more were injured due to enemy shelling in the kherson region. the occupiers targeted the residential quarters of several settlements, critical infrastructure facilities in kherson and the humanitarian aid warehouse in the beryslav district, - said the head of the regional military administration oleksandr prokudin. in total , the russians attacked kherson oblast 125 times. and till operational information from the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. 59 combat clashes took place at the front during the day. the hottest so far is near avdiyivka, where the defense forces repelled 32 enemy at

this year, the defense forces opened a real safari on artillery and anti-aircraft defense, the rate of destruction of which tripled to 6 and 390 units, respectively. we also shot down 4,300 tactical drones, which is double the number of the previous year. these figures give a real picture of the nature of the fighting in the 23rd year, less armored vehicles, more is drones. projectiles frontline change and biggest battles 2023 there are two major changes to the frontline. the russians managed to occupy bahmud and the territory east of the city, i.e. almost 530 km. instead, the zso punched two large holes in the rashist defenses in the south front with a total area of ​​almost 270 km. and another 43 km were repelled during the counteroffensive near bakhmut. russia lost the battle in luhansk region. throughout 2023 , the russians tried to launch a large-scale offensive in luhansk region in order to push back the zso across the oskil river from outside luhansk region, as well as to return the lost strategically important for the battle for donetsk region, the city of leman. battles took p

petersburg, and the russian air defense somehow did not react so sluggishly or at all.r extraordinary, because that's what happens actually. i have you. the question, in fact , regarding st. petersburg and bryansk region, has been on fire for more than a day, the oil depots there, how appropriate it is to direct our efforts to the oil depots, because we understand that when something was also not right at the gunpowder plant , it was probably a little better with from the point of view that there is now a war and that gunpowder is perhaps more relevant for them than the same fuel, well, you know, a controversial proposal... it is worth saying that no equipment will be started without gunpowder and lubricating materials. accordingly, strikes on oil depots are a priority goal of the ukrainian forces, and we are talking about both oil depots concentrated on the territory of the occupied regions of ukraine, and, accordingly, oil depots concentrated in the deep regions of the russian federation. let me remind you that this is not the first case of damage to oil depots, both

we should start not with what can be done, but with what we need first of all, these complexes air defense i'm not talking about the fact that in september of the 23rd year, the united states, weapons... the army's anti -drone drone complex with a laser system, and we would n't mind having such complexes either, so they are only one battalion so far armed, this is the newest complex, but at least within the framework, let's say, testing such weapons, or within the framework of joint promotion of laser anti-drone programs, because these are joint actions. the united states is leading with the british, and on the same september 23rd, britain simultaneously tested a laser anti-drone system, and this is what i'm talking about, that we need to make a hyper-leap in the field of creating the use of the latest technology in war, this is where the biggest, so to speak, our our opportunities, the biggest, the biggest challenge for us to... protect the country, the third challenge is, actually, the opportunities military-technical cooperation with foreign countries and the creation of the latest such

the case in preventing the illegal activities of the armed forces of ukraine will be opened to the defense for perusal, and after that the indictment will go to court. i think you understand who we are talking about. and i would also like to draw attention to the fact that when i and the sbi, including in my face, say that there is currently no status, it does not mean that you and i will not hear about it. suspect status in the next hours or days, i want to understand what to say and write so that you understand that writing on social networks is much easier than legally proving that a person is suspected of one or another crime, but this is what the sbi writes on its social networks, just like sorry, well, according to my beliefs, ideas, i really thought that if you write about it, then at least there is some status, we write and state the fact that there is an ongoing... pre-trial investigation and criminal proceedings based on the fact, in particular, the supply of poor-quality clothing for the armed forces of ukraine. ok, i heard you. see hrenkevich was actually engaged in the constru
