The ceremony lasted 2 6 minutes and became the longest in history. Vladimir putin announced the launch of five new National Projects. Family, youth of russia, long active life, personnel, data economics. In fact, the head of state outlined an action plan for the next 6 years and longer term. The president s address to the nation aroused great interest. This is confirmed by a survey conducted by the allrussian center for the study of public opinion. The message was followed by the vast majority of russians, and 86 of them rated it positively. People paid attention to the president s initiatives to support young families, develop infrastructure, and build housing and roads. 85 of those who followed the message say that Vladimir Putin has a strategy for the countrys development for the coming years. They are confident that the president will be able to implement it. One of the important topics of the message was the Personnel Program for participants in a special military operation, the time of heroes, more about it later on our broadcast. In the meantime, lets talk about whats happening on the front line. Our troops occupied more advantageous positions in the donetsk and south donetsk directions of the special operation. At avdeevsky there is an improved position along the front edge. Over the past 24 hours, the enemy has lost over a thousand fighters and various equipment, some only five american m777 howitzers were destroyed. And also. Tanks, armored personnel carriers, selfpropelled guns and an Electronic Warfare station. Air Defense Systems shot down 143 drones, including the turkish beiraktar t2. Drones have completely changed the landscape of modern combat; they are used for reconnaissance and fire adjustments. The kaze drone is a fast, precise instrument. In skillful hands, it can defeat anything, from manpower to heavy tanks. With their help they even take prisoners. Sergei ponomarev will tell you exactly how. We hounded him. We well they simulated a reset, he fell face down, then he realized that they wouldnt leave him alone, he raised his head, knelt down, waved and we led him, the end of this small one was caught on video. Special operations, they forgot to turn on the recording in time , a ukrainian intelligence officer, lagging behind the group, throws down his weapon and, following the instructions, our quadcopter surrenders, well, you could easily kill him, yes we always try to make it clear that we dont want to kill them, that they should let them surrender , well, unfortunately, not everyone goes, such work, according to the bpva operator call sign timaha is more expensive than any accurate hits from a kamikaze drone, and effectively everyone is intact. Timakha is a volunteer. His family and a chain of restaurants remained in the krasnodar region; its been a year and a half since artyomovsk became his second home. Well, you terrify strangers and your own with your appearance, right . Well, yes, a lot of questions immediately arise about whose bird is in the sky, especially from ours, when our positions fly by. Sometimes you need to explain to the same person 10 times that this is ours. The piercing roar of propellers bursts into the roar of the front; this sound, as they say here, sometimes scary. On the ground they check from the air, the video signal from the drones comes directly to the command post, we are slowly moving forward, online, we can watch the work of our units, how they move, where they are, we can see everything, tell them, help them where to turn, where to go , where is their point, these same birds are capable of what is called nightmareing the enemy, a platoon of Drone Operators with the call sign grandson, one of the most effective in the artyomovsk direction, for example, this one. But it all ended with that kamikazes just showed up at the right time, we worked there, probably a dozen of them , the enemy was already very weakened there, then some guys showed up and completely cleared out this support tower, the enemy has a lot of quadcopters, but in the 102nd regiment they have already learned to deal with them not only with the help antidrone guns from rap stations are taken to ram, you need to hit with your belly, so to speak, on. Any, any propeller, it is blocked, the bird automatically gives an error that the propeller is blocked, turn off the engine, it falls. At night, the main work is for them to designate goals for artillery, so that the enemy cannot raise his head, our mortars do not stop. 784 0. 495, 0. 495, visit and report. Mortar crews have a lot of work both day and night, in the dark, as a rule, they take place during the main assault operations, and you can also catch the enemy on rotation when the enemy. I came out of cover, its more than 3 km to the trenches, so i only have small flashlights with me, so as not to give away my position, when we shoot two at a time, they leave and as if a cassette tape is already flying here, its one for someone, one every 10 minutes, one every two every 10 minutes, they are not told what the target is, only the coordinates, but judging by the range, the enemy continues to retreat, so the guys are preparing to change positions after the infantry, and he will go with them. No , i even sometimes think what i will do at home after all this, seriously, yes, when its all over, yes, weve already wandered around with these guys, and this despite the fact that every exit from cover means exposing yourself to enemy shells. Calculated on average, before the response flies, they will have time shoot up to nine minutes, sometimes they cover earlier, i was lucky, i sewed a sweatshirt, slowed down the speed a little, just went under the skin, as if i didnt feel anything, well, as if a stone had landed, a couple of days in the hospital again on the front line, thats the custom here, do not abandon your own, sometimes a wellcoordinated crew with precise coordinates does not need to take aim, as in these frames taken with a thermal imager, the very first 120mm shell hit an entire enemy squad, the work of mortars. Is difficult not only technically, but also physically one such projectile weighs about 16 kg, you still need to be able to run with them and quickly, they say its a matter of habit, to be honest, i dont like small calibers, why . Well, that will give you some heat then. This time three shells were enough, the command was given to stop, what they managed to cover, they say, they will clarify later, until new targets are transmitted over the radio, it is better not to waste time and prepare the mines. Life on march 1, a new Personnel Program was launched, the time of heroes. Implements a project of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration on the basis of the workshop management senizh. Official website of timeheroes. Rf became available on friday evening, almost 21 thousand applications were received in two days, and alexey kruchinin will tell you more about this. Before the start of the svo, the definition of the elite in the public consciousness of russians was blurred; it was often referred to as people of dubious moral qualities, many of whom, moreover, belonged to their homeland. My devotion to russia, worthy people, you know, i look at these courageous people, sometimes very young guys, without any attraction, i can say, my heart is filled with pride for our people, for our people, for these particular people, such people will certainly not back down. They will not let you down or betray you; such people who think about the country, live by its destiny, can be handed over in the future and entrusted to russia. We are talking primarily about the military who listened to the president s message in gostiny dvor and their comrades on the front line in the special operation zone. In general, those who irrefutably prove their love for their homeland by risking their lives every day. The support of russia and the salt of the earth. According to the president , it is they who must now become the countrys leaders and take leading positions. In all key areas, from the Education System and youth education, to Large Business and government administration. In the future, these are the people who will really lead our country, these are the future governor, these are the future chairman of the peoples council, these are the future directors of factories, these are senators, these are the heads of municipalities. Indeed, who if not them, for example, the hero of russia alexander karamyshev, who more than once saved his comrades in his mi8, becoming for them a real guardian angel. Russians dont abandon their own people. This is 100 , and thanks to the courage and heroism of our military personnel, we are moving forward, everything is ahead of us, the fastest victory will be ours. Or another hero of russia, maxim sholomov, who was very pleased to hear the president s words; this is also a great reward, in addition to those already shining on his chest. It was said that the elite is precisely a soldier who is ready to give his life for the lives of other people, the truth is behind us, glory to the russian soldier. For those who now a special role, special support is required. The president recalled that svo participants have a priority right to receive education at the countrys leading universities. In addition, families of fighters from the far east and the arctic, as well as, of course, donbass and novorossia, can receive preferential mortgages at a rate of 2 . For danil stepankov, a demobilized student from lugansk, this is very important. There is a new addition to the young family. It was nice to hear that for young families and svo participants there will be a 2 mortgage on new entities. Because we dont have our own housing, we rent an apartment, and we would like our own home to appear, where we will directly invest our strength, energy and so that the child lives in comfort and joy. Their time is coming, the time of heroes. This is the name of the new largescale Personnel Program announced by Vladimir Putin. On the basis of the Public Administration workshop, seniz vranhiks, the military will train highly qualified specialists who in the future will be able to work in Government Agencies and stateowned companies. Applications are accepted from those with no criminal record. Fighters with Higher Education managerial experience, while current titles and position do not matter. The main thing is that these must be people who have shown their best qualities, who have shown that they know how to lead their comrades. Studies will begin in the coming months. The mentors for the first participants of the program will be government leaders, the president ial administration, federal ministries, departments, and heads of regions of our largest companies. In the future, we will expand such Personnel Programs, launch management courses at the Russian Academy of National Economy and public services, and i consider the status of an academy necessary. Support the desire of fighting officers to try their hand at the new Personnel Program, provide for them the opportunity to apply for participation and go to fulltime training. I would like to note that the participants in the special military operation, both privates and sergeants, and military officers, already today form the backbone of our armed forces. Of course, as i already said, those who intend to continue their military career will receive priority promotions when entering command courses, schools and military academies, this is the most important task that is being solved now, and naturally, taking into account what the president just said, of course, it will become overgrown with specifics, specific tasks, because these are different professions, different specialties. Those who would like to pursue a military career will have separate opportunities available to them. There are nuances first of all, how to be an active military man who has everything to get an education except the main thing time. The main format of the program is online classes, but fighters will be able to count on trips to moscow. We are now discussing with the ministry of defense how this can be organized. These will be short business trips for training, but the ministry of defense also understands the importance of this educational program, and i think that the participants will be quite motivated. Registration takes place on the website vremeyageroyev. Rrf, application, contact information, a little later testing, then the actual selection. Art bass veteran alexey savin was a senior reconnaissance machine gunner. Soon he will have at his disposal a weapon more powerful than a machine gun. Professional management skills and a team of comrades and likeminded people. First of all , we expect opportunity from the program. To obtain the Necessary Knowledge that will later be useful to us, and then its natural to realize ourselves, because this is a huge responsibility, well, without knowledge, you cant go anywhere, and even more so the trust that our president has now shown us, but we can never let you down, many regions are already using the enormous potential of northern military district veterans. Sergei efremov, in the recent past, commander of the volunteer battalion tiger, was appointed vicegovernor of the region. Without mentors, i am sure that military experience will help guys learn new specialties more easily, because for example, battalion management is the most Effective School of management; decisions have to be made in a matter of seconds under enemy fire. In general, i spent almost 2 years at the front, so i want to say that i saw a lot of competent, decent people who, in principle, by and large, after returning from the front, returned to peace life, this is not a regular military man, this is among the mobilized, this is among volunteers. Will be able to provide enormous assistance in Public Administration. The mayor of nevinnomysk, hero of russia Mikhail Minenkov adds that real frontline commanders know better than anyone what its like when there is no room for error. An indispensable quality for any leader. In the army there are no grades, four, three, there you are either alive or dead, so you need to make decisions there, carefully, very carefully, for this you need to spend a lot of time events, because im on the eve humanly, in fact. It helps in civilian life, if we are now coping on the front line, then here they can cope all the more, they have confidence in their abilities, which the special military operation gave them. All of russia is helping the guys on the front line. Warm clothes and camouflage nets are flowing into the nwo zone. The popular front is donating ammunition, copters and drone jammers purchased with donations from russians, the bill is already worth tens of billions of rubles. Of course, returning home and getting a job. Yesterdays job the fighters will also enjoy the support of the population, says novosibirsk deputy andrei panferov. An experienced military man, he began his combat service in afghanistan, was a special forces commander in the northern military district, and he clearly senses the trend in how people began to relate to the army. This connection between the army and the people has always existed, especially now. And i think that this trust in the military man, which was 80 years ago when the victory was won, is being revived right now. They have a lot to do for the country. But while the main task there is in the trenches under mines and bullets, the Forward Movement that the president spoke so much about in his message depends on its solution. The implementation of all planned plans today directly depends on our soldiers, officers, volunteers, all military personnel who are now fighting at the front. From courage. And the determination of our comrades in arms who defend their homeland, rise to attack, move forward under fire, sacrifice themselves for us. For the sake of the fatherland, it is they, our soldiers, who are creating absolutely necessary conditions today for the future of the country and for its development. Low bow to you guys. What is this if not the highest trust, which the guys brilliantly justify at the front and will no doubt justify in civilian life. After taking the avdeevka defensive hub, our soldiers advance further to the west. Within a week, three settlements were liberated lastochkino, severnoe and petrovskoye, and the first abrams was burned in the vicinity of the village of berdychi. The situation is improving in other areas. Kiev is even trying to stabilize the front, leaving an average of 800 people a day on the battlefields, at first, the ukrainian losses to the northern military district exceeded 444. They stopped it in the rear aft part, with the second side they finished off a regular grenade launcher shot, two rounds of ammunition were enough to hit it. In this war, legends are born and myths are destroyed; the myth of the indestructibility of western heavy Armored Vehicles was finished off by the american abrams burning near avdiivka. The first required only two fpv dron
