We are ukraine , please subscribe, it is very important for us, follow our aons, we are always interested, this conversation was conducted for you by maksym sikora. The only important thing is on the air, lyudmila dobrovolska and oleg panyuta are with you. We congratulate you and this is what we will talk about today. Alliance of Defense Industries. Who will produce weapons for ukraine together with us, and also at the expense of russian assets, and when will it start. Mass production, forced passporting, prison and torture, the hell of those ukrainians who have been living in occupation, lets show, they are a shield that covers our infantry from the sky, Army Aviation, how does it perform combat tasks and what are they . A year and a half ago, when the three days that were given to kyiv before it surrendered had already run out. Who would have thought that very soon the First International forum of Defense Industries will be held in the ukrainian capital, which will gather 252 Defense Companies that produce a full range of weapons, Defense Systems and solutions from more than 20 countries of the world and from europe, america, asia and australia. Yes, all of them, they are ready to help ukraine produce weapons and develop modern technologies in partnership in order to have a reliable defense against russia. Aggression, what should be known about the creation of an alliance of Defense Industries and the establishment of a special defense fund . Lets see. Forum of Defense Industries, the future weapon of ukraine, how is it seen in the world . This is the first time in ukraine that we have gathered hundreds of Foreign Companies, hundreds of ukrainian companies, in one place, neptunes, stugna, corsairs, we are already doing this at home, but we need more on this. The new team of the ministry of defense will focus on artillery, air defense, capacity, on the water, what are International Companies willing to invest in, and what will be the weapons of the future . Drone warfare and some of the other things that have really been improved here in ukraine over the last two years will be even more important on the international stage. More than 200 armsrelated companies from the 31st ukraine and this during the war in kyiv. What is it, if not interest in cooperation with ukraine, and whether there will be a result and how soon. They talked about it on the forum. More than six hundred participants about what the new will be like weapons, both in ukraine and in the world, the president proposes to discuss together in the newly created alliance of Defense Industries. We have developed a corresponding basic declaration as the basis of the alliance, and you can join it with weapons and military equipment from all over the world. At the start, this declaration was already signed by 13 Prominent Companies that are ready to build a new arsenal of the free world together with ukraine. There will be more weapons. Ukraine is developing a special economic regime for the defenseindustrial complex. This will simplify further work. At the same Time Next Year almost 56 billion will be allocated to the defense potential. This is significantly more funds than this year , it is still not enough, because the Russian Defense budget reaches 100 billion dollars, so a special defense fund is being created, which will be replenished with the funds of the same russians, the president announced. There will be a pound. Is filled by dividends from state defense assets and by profits from the sale of confiscated russian assets. In fact, at every meeting with partners, they have been talking about weapons of their own production since last fall, for example, there is even a trend in africa to create weapons together with the ukrainians, and the task of our president to the departments is to develop production by our forces abroad. So far, we see more opportunities for production in the area. With Foreign Companies, but if we see the readiness of Foreign Companies to develop production together with us on the territory of ukraine, on the territory of neighboring countries, we will also consider such opportunities, at least we already have the first experience, joint production with slovakia has started. We have already transferred two copies of sau susanna of the 16 promised company is working on other parts and as soon as they are ready, they will also go here. Everything is according to the contract. The minister agrees, the war has become a lesson for the whole world, forced to remove rosecolored glasses and deprived the feeling of security. The naive sense of security we had in europe is over. We must do more for our security and defense. We must spend more on defense, invest in our own forces, increase investment in the armed forces, in defense as such, to replenish stocks and modernize equipment in nato countries. Patriot nasam sejalina is something that ukraine has already received from the United States of america, and here in kyiv we meet the Vice President of the company that produces patriot for the first time, and i immediately ask if they are satisfied with the work of their equipment. All the feedback we have received indicates that our systems have been extremely successful, so we are very proud to be standing here in kyiv today, under the protection of the patriots from the air. Missile attacks. We are also talking about the weapons of the future as seen by the manufacturers of superpowerful missiles. As this war showed, you need to Pay Attention to simpler types of weapons, ammunition, simple mortars, rockets and the like. But the main question remains open, what will be the cooperation between the defense machines of the two countries . First of all, the governments have to agree on this, but the beginning of cooperation is laid here at the conference. 15 such memorandums of cooperation were signed by ukrainian and French Companies at the forum. These agreements will allow us to deepen cooperation with the French Defense sector, which will allow our soldiers to receive more weapons and more modern technology. More than 10 agreements today on cooperation in the manufacture of ammunition for guns, for systems, for antiaircraft defense, for cyber security, are needed from all of them. That it is possible to work together. Another important argument why the world is ready to build weapons here is ukrainian people, they really admire them, they are inspired by their skills to work under any conditions , and such a forum first of all allowed ukrainian and International Manufacturers to get to know each other, and on a practical level we have 20 contracts on further cooperation olena chernyakova, maksym khlopotov, we are ukraine marathon, only news. Of the 40 attack drones launched by the russians from cape chauda, this is crimea. Half of our air defense was shot down over vinnytsia. The rest of the zsu was destroyed within the borders of odesa and mykolaiv regions. An infrastructure facility in vinnytsia was also targeted. Five people were injured as a result of shelling in the suburbs of zaporizhia. Two rockets hit the matviivska community, destroying half a dozen houses. Since the very morning, kherson region has been under enemy fire. In novovoronivka, residential buildings, a shop, and a cafe were attacked with gunshots, and the Electricity Supply was disrupted. In the cossack occupiers dropped explosives from a drone just on a 48yearold man. In the center of kherson , the muscovites attacked the gymnasium, there were no mothers , well, they took everything upon themselves, and it was snowing, but the equipment, they swept it away, you can see it lying around. The operational situation in the east and south of ukraine remains difficult. The enemy continues to shell ukrainian settlements from its territory and increases the density of minefields along the state border of ukraine. In the districts of klishchiivka and avdiivka in donetsk region, the enemy is making unsuccessful attempts to regain lost positions. Not the russians manage to win it back on the outskirts of verbovoy and robotnoy in zaporizhzhia. At the same time, the Armed Forces Advance along the axes. Melitopol and bakhmut, denouncing the enemy along the entire front line. Next, operational information on the 584th day of the russian fullscale aggression. Come on, come on again, these are shots of the soldiers of the 47th separate mechanized brigade in the melitopol direction, the ukrainian infantry skillfully destroys the invaders under the reliable cover of our armor. It is here that the phase of our counteroffensive is active, with heavy battles, the armed forces of ukraine is advancing deep into zaporizhzhia in order to deter ukrainian offensive, rashists attack in response. We have constant, constant fighting and , you know, its hot, not hot, its hot all the time, there are skilled assaults , they go in small groups, they go prepared, they go, they disguise themselves, they cover them, and then they retreat with battles, they say. The rashists are most afraid of losing the temporarily occupied tokmak, that is where they are withdrawing reserves, heavy equipment and building new fortifications. We note the movement of enemy units from other areas of the front to the topmak district, the enemy also realizes that there is a high probability that they will not hold these positions and is trying to build new positions, the logic in this follows, to absolutely hold the offensive as a priority. Task in the south. Our military continues the operation south of bakhmut. The tick was completely cleared, or rather, all that remained of it, the village was completely destroyed, like everything where the russians visited. The enemy is really pushed back from the pincer, the sections are fixed in the place of the pincer, and advance further along the railway, the railway is under control, and develops success is developing, both south and east in the area of ticks and a little north, to the beginning of the forest, the railway is under control. After unsuccessful assaults to regain the lost positions in klishchivka , the enemy retreated to other positions, but actively uses artillery and aviation there. Now the enemy has already abandoned these attempts to drag into the village itself and retreated to a better position, and this allowed us to put forward observation posts and firing positions, a little forward, so now there is no threat that the enemy will turn back there is no pishivka or at least established in the neighborhood. We control one of the key logistical routes of the russians in the bakhmut direction, the horlivkabakhmut road, making it difficult for them to supply ammunition and reinforcements. Talk about completely. Use of this track stopped early. Of course, we inflict fire damage on cars, the enemy, when he uses this route, of course he understands that he can be hit, and transported there large forces or serious ammunition of some kind, it is impossible. Russia begins to return under bakhmut of the wagnerites, however, the military says that they will not be able to influence the course of the war, because the remnants of the pmc who signed a contract with the regular army are going to the front. Now they mostly want to play such, you know, informational and psychological role , like, here wagner is back again, there is wagner 2. 0, no, of course, its not like that, its a completely different wagner, on the leman ukupin direction, the rashists have finished forming their socalled shock fist , an army of one hundred thousand is ready go on assaults to break through our positions. Work in parallel with artillery and aviation. They have been on the attack for about three days now, they have resumed these combat clashes, but in small numbers. They got a good kick out of it earlier and now our defense is so strong that they are simply afraid to attack in this direction. We are ready for any development, ready to kill the occupiers wherever they appear. Marinka and avdiyivka are other areas where the rashists constantly attack and to no avail. Our heroic and brave soldiers. Repel attacks and where it is possible to repel the enemy from our land. Lyudmila havryliuk, we are ukraine, marathon, only news. They are a shield that covers our infantry from the sky, and also conducts reconnaissance and roasts the Russian Occupation troops and equipment. All this is about the Army Aviation of the Ground Forces, zsu. Helicopters of the 18th separate brigade named after sikorsky defended the resort at the beginning of the great invasion. Gosstomil and kyiv. Well , now they are working in donetsk region, where the intensity of hostilities is such that they have to make almost 10 sorties a day. Our crew was chatting. With those who take risks every day to complete a combat mission. The enemys pppo changes, so each sortie is unique in its own way, and each sortie has its own tension, combat, and some nuances. Every sortie for pilots is a risk because of missiles. Both antiaircraft and airtoair, which can be launched by russian aircraft. Evgeny has been a crew commander in aviation for 10 years, participated in a peacekeeping mission in the congo, and with the beginning of the great war, he defends the country from the invaders. Near kiev, it was at the beginning of the war, we worked for the defense of kyiv, of course it was a little scary, as it is for every military person, but we all did a common cause and understood that if we did not do anything, there would be trouble. Everyone worked to the maximum, tried to perform their duties well. Army aviation pilots perform combat missions on still soviet rotorcraft, one of them being the mi8 helicopter. Unofficially, the pilots call it a cow, for the characteristic sound of the engines and high load capacity. M8 is used for transportation and evacuation wounded and the introduction of fire. Mmy8 is a transport helicopter by definition. No worse than the mi24, the guys perform and will perform combat tasks. The mi 8 works against the occupiers with unguided air missiles, due to the intensity of hostilities in donetsk region, the crew of a combat helicopter can make up to 10 flights per day, attacks usually take place with two machines. Under which we are currently working, he concentrates his troops and groups as much as possible. We fulfill the assigned task, we try. Read the enemy and destroy more enemies , there are often days when the tasks after reloading go one after the other, targets, everything that can be on the front line or near it assault groups, mortar batteries, ammunition depots. The front of our brigade consists of four Army Aviation brigades. Keeping helicopters in combat readiness is not an easy task, before each departure the rotorcraft is carefully checked by an aviation mechanic. The main thing is that the first thing that is checked is the blades of the carrier. And steering screw, Everything Else is asked in flight equipment, that is, after the flight, all serviceable helicopters are sent on a daily basis, and this is quite a load for soviet machines. Dmytro is an onboard aviation technician, whether the flight will take place depends on his decision about the serviceability of the rotorcraft. Do you remember your first battle . Yes, we simply outnumbered javins. And it so happened that we accidentally ran into a column alone, that is, we did not have one. In my opinion , a Russian Tiger and a few kamazovs with zetkas, everything was as it should be, they were just spinning around, turned on their weapons, went up to them, pounded in field, as soon as the air gunner gives the crew the coordinates, the rotorcraft goes into battle, at the precalculated point, the helicopter commander lifts the bottom from the blocks suspended on the sides, and several dozen fly out. Unguided projectiles. This method of introducing fire is called camber firing. Now we shoot, roughly speaking , like artillery, that is, with a canopy, with a certain angle of pitch, the projectiles fly along the ballistics of the missile and hit the target. On the front line, they release 3040 rockets and return the same way they flew. Now we see that the boys are returning with a combat mission, now we will. To ask how everything went, the combat mission was successful, they completed the task, hit the enemy Ground Forces and returned home without losses, without damage, everything was fine, they work in close proximity to the enemy and support our Ground Troops from the air, they do not understand, are they going one way and anything can happen and theyre not coming back but at the same time theyre on such a drive and by their side when youre also charges you, this adrenaline, even without being on board, standing on the ground, near the takeoff, watching the helicopter take off, you just feel this, well, such a great pride that expands your chest, and it really charges you for the result, you want to do that work, which you do twice, or even three times better, when the infantry goes on the offensive, helicopters cover them, become a kind of shield for them, when they see how helicopters fly over their trenches, they immediately feel pride for the state, understanding that they are not alone in this war, and that we are them we support, and they are very proud, and they want to fight, defend and chase the enemy even more. Army aviation pilots use their superpowers to get the most out of the available equipment. The crews are convinced that the western rotorcraft could give new opportunities to the army, and thereby bring victory closer.
