mykhailo samus mykhailo i congratulate you so in the report of our correspondents from the eastern front we are the first so to speak, they saw the tactics of the russians' use of attack drones , as well as how difficult it is for the defense of the ukrainian police in the area of liman and kupyansk , meanwhile, in the south, they are reporting an advance the armed forces and the breakthrough of the russian fortifications near the village of verbove. how do you assess the situation at the front and the change in russian tactics in general? well, i will not say that this is a tactic, that the tactics of the russians have changed , in fact, the russians constantly used shock crowns and the fact that there are more of them is an objective process more and more investments are being made both in ukraine and in russia, the development of ftv drones, e-e in attack drones of other modifications in russia, this is the lancet, for example, and therefore it should not be surprising that russia will use them more and more on the battlefield the question here is that we need to find countermeasures and protection against these drones , and this is paradise electronic warfare, including air defense systems, which are specifically designed to destroy drones, because those traditional air defense systems that have been manufactured since of the cold war, and they were, after all, uh, trained, let's say, focused on the destruction of traditional targets, these are airplanes and uh, for example, missiles, as for the situation on the front, in principle, uh , the ukrainian army is actively advancing on south in three directions, this is precisely the tokmak direction that you mentioned, this is the berdyansky direction, and now the volnovakha volnovasky direction has also been activated, which is aimed at mariupol, the main efforts of the ukrainian army here are focused on the kupyan direction, russia is trying to attack, are they forcing or how are thinking of forcing the ukrainian command to withdraw reserves from the south or the bakhmut direction, where the ukrainian army is also actively advancing, and transfer them to the north in order to prevent a breakthrough russians, but in the west, these different , sometimes even opposite, assessments of ukrainian continuity are heard in the american press, saying that he is lethargic, slow, almost a failure. expectations are exceeded, how premature are such statements in your opinion ? i think that in order to understand what the ukrainian offensive is, you need to go and see what it is like on the battlefield, but now there was a report and there one feels what a real war is like sitting in the united states to criticize er combat actions that well, in terms of scale and intensity surpass everything that happened after the second world war i think absolutely maybe even inadequately that is, the ukrainian army acts according to what resources it has of course the american generals such an operation has never been carried out, because according to the modern american doctrine, the nato doctrine , it is necessary to first conduct the air phase , to win a dominant position in the air and destroy ground objects, the infrastructure of the force air defense and destroy the main lines of defense only after that to conduct the ground phase, which records the achievement of the air phase, because our allies, unfortunately, did not provide us with the same f-16 modern aircraft in the ukrainian command, and did not give the russians the opportunity to build these structures there for six months about defense and conducts a very difficult ground operation in which the russians have air superiority and it is very difficult, but the ukrainian soldiers, officers, sergeants are breaking through this defense and i think that just before the end of the autumn campaign, if we are talking about the current moment, we will see achievements, which, for example, will consist in the crossing of the main logistical transport routes, for example, the city of melitopol . in the new year, we should receive the f16, then the operation will go a little at a different pace. by the way, british military analysts agree with you that no army in the world has yet transitioned to an offensive against a larger enemy without air superiority, yes, that is, in 16, it is delayed at least until the end of the year, as you said, and to what extent are they able to change the distribution of forces at the front ? so it's uh, why is it the infliction of russian aviation with a blow, uh, it's corrected with special bombs that are very dangerous - these are powerful bombs that uh, are designed and created according to the example of american bombs jam. that is, they are guided high-precision bombs that cause a lot of damage to our troops and why can the russians enter let's say the area of application of these missiles that can be used from a distance of 50 km because we do not have aviation that could repel russian aviation thank you mykhailoly in we don't have enough management time, it was the director of the independent platform, mykhailo sas, and that's all for today until monday , congratulations, friends, we continue the information broadcast on the expresso tv channel, mykola veresen, vitaly portnikov, greetings health, as always, first at the front, and then we will look around ukraine, and in ukraine we will also look , but first, anyway, at the front oleksiy hetman , reserve major of the national guard of ukraine, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian wars, now you can even say war if you count that there are two of them some will take into account that this is one. well, in short, good health . thank you, what time means to us, mr. oleksiy . good evening. look at this story about the bombing of russia, ukrainians, well, by some forces, it is unknown. where did these forces come from, but to what extent is it more emotional or more military? is it a mixture because, well, there are such obvious advantages there, the
