[00:00:30] whose ratings have fallen to critical levels, openly intimidates the
[00:00:33] opposition, and promises to stop financing the eastern lands, where
[00:00:37] his party failed in the elections. Maria
[00:00:40] Skorodielka will tell you more about this. Anger, fury, irritation,
[00:00:44] fear. The mayor's face is a bouquet of emotions, he can't wait for Monday,
[00:00:47] he gathers his associates on the weekend, the agenda is to find traitors.
[00:00:51] Who voted for AfD in Upper Saxony and how to
[00:00:55] prove the opposition's success, but the CDU members don't
[00:00:58] listen to discipline. Zero, the chancellor's nerves are failing, he
[00:01:02] snaps at journalists.
[00:01:06] Yes, we cannot fulfill anything we promised to the voters
[00:01:10] now, with the current economic indicators it is
[00:01:13] impossible, but I have hope that everything will be fine, I
[00:01:17] need another 17 months, we will solve everything. Germans will not
[00:01:21] wait more than a year, they already believed him and
[00:01:24] were harshly deceived. The Chancellor is now a hero of jokes, he
[00:01:28] clings to his seat and frightens people more than the scariest
[00:01:31] characters from
[00:01:32] horror movies,
[00:01:35] the ruling coalition in the Bundestag is in complete prostration, deputies don't
[00:01:39] trust each other, the country needs reforms, but there is no money
[00:01:43] for them.
[00:01:45] Against this background, I consider what is happening now in Berlin to be simply disastrous:
[00:01:49] the left with the SPD and the Greens have begun negotiations to create
[00:01:52] a coalition. The Berlin branch of the Left Party has serious problems with
[00:01:56] anti-Semitism, they seek to weaken the police, to eliminate.
[00:03:02] In economic development, East Germany has not caught up with
[00:03:06] West Germany, the newspapers write. The main problem is the aging population, as
[00:03:09] a consequence - low employment. There are no private investments, there are not enough qualified
[00:03:12] personnel. In the eastern lands there are almost no headquarters of large
[00:03:16] companies. Over the past 15 years, the volume of capital in eastern Germany
[00:03:20] relative to the level of the west has grown by only 2%.
[00:03:23] The notorious equality is still looming somewhere far beyond
[00:03:26] the horizon. In addition, the East is torn apart by crime.
[00:04:55] her home address, they laid siege to the establishment, the police are already
[00:04:58] investigating. He scares the opposition, he will close
[00:05:01] AfD's access to state secrets at the federal level,
[00:05:05] he will stop financing the eastern lands. As
[00:05:08] we saw in the example of Mecklenburg, by dying with its policy,
[00:05:12] the ruling coalition only harms itself. The CDU deprives itself
[00:05:16] of any reasonable negotiating position, the CDU loses, and
[00:05:19] the saddest thing is not even this loss itself, but the fact that
[00:05:23] our country is losing. And, of course, the Germans who cast
[00:05:26] their votes and believed that they would still be heard. Maria
[00:05:30] Skorodielka, Vesti.
[00:05:34] Today in Russia is the Day of Agricultural and Processing Industry Workers.
[00:05:38] Vladimir Putin congratulated the workers of the industry. The
[00:05:41] president stressed that even in difficult conditions, the domestic agro-industrial complex works
[00:05:45] with full dedication, thanks to which the country remains one of
[00:05:49] the world leaders in this industry.
[00:05:53] Thanks to your energy and dedication to your work,
[00:05:56] Russia firmly holds its position as one of the leading
[00:06:00] producers of agricultural products in
[00:06:03] the world. Even in difficult current conditions,
[00:06:06] the domestic agro-industrial complex operates steadily and
[00:06:10] stably. You perform your tasks
[00:06:14] conscientiously, with full dedication,
[00:06:17] reliably guaranteeing the food security
[00:06:20] of the country. Recently, large
[00:06:23] agricultural businesses, and especially medium-sized companies,
[00:06:27] and farms had to face a whole range
[00:06:30] of difficulties, they were caused by sanctions,
[00:06:33] infrastructural and export barriers, and rising
[00:06:37] costs. The state will definitely continue
[00:06:40] to provide the necessary assistance to farmers, to facilitate both the
[00:06:44] resolution of operational issues related to fuel,
[00:06:48] transportation, and sale of products, as well as the provision
[00:06:51] of seed material, and in general, we will continue
[00:06:54] to systematically support the agro-industrial sector,
[00:06:58] which faces large-scale
[00:07:00] tasks.
[00:07:02] A sudden flood in Nepal, dozens of residential
[00:07:05] buildings destroyed, road infrastructure severely damaged, powerful
[00:07:09] streams of water washed away two suspension pedestrian
[00:07:12] bridges and one car. At least four people are missing,
[00:07:16] rescuers are now working at the
[00:07:17] scene of the incident.
[00:07:20] And four people died in the USA due to Hurricane
[00:07:23] Isaiah. The elements swept through Florida and Alabama.
[00:07:27] Earlier, due to the storm, a state of emergency was declared in the states. Winds with a
[00:07:31] speed of almost 170 km/h literally tore off
[00:07:34] roofs. Many buildings were severely damaged. Not only people, but also animals, were weathering
[00:07:38] the hurricane. These are shots from Panama City Beach Park.
[00:07:42] The flamingo, as we can see, took shelter in the bathroom.
[00:07:44] комнате.
[00:07:47] And now, the historical project "World in the Palm of Your Hand". The new series will tell about
[00:07:51] US military operations in Somalia in 1992-94.
[00:07:55] These events eventually led to mass riots, famine,
[00:07:59] the development of piracy and terrorism. Watch after
[00:08:01] the commercial.

[00:12:46] October 3, 1993
[00:12:49] became a day of shame for American
[00:12:52] special forces.
[00:13:58] Warsaw Pact, the integration of Eastern Europe. Africa was on the periphery of
[00:14:01] attention. Somalia and the genocide in Rwanda
[00:14:04] became symbols of this indifference. When
[00:14:08] the UN nevertheless deployed the UNOSOM1 mission,
[00:14:11] it turned out to be relatively successful. The USA
[00:14:14] sent about 20,000 soldiers, created control
[00:14:18] zones, provided food supplies and relative
[00:14:21] security.
[00:14:33] The Americans are starting an operation in Somalia, they had many
[00:14:36] hopes that they would be able to create an ideal political regime there,
[00:14:40] now they just need to come, they will immediately ensure
[00:14:44] stability, and security, and the delivery
[00:14:46] of humanitarian aid, safe from the UN, because
[00:14:50] as it was presented in the media, that internecine strife in
[00:14:54] Somalia. prevents the delivery of humanitarian aid to
[00:14:57] the population, the Americans will come and stop it, the standard of
[00:15:00] living will increase, what actually happened, the entire population
[00:15:04] united against the United States of America, and what will the American
[00:15:08] special forces do, why do we need this at all? In
[00:15:11] Somalia in 1992,
[00:15:15] there were about 20,000 American
[00:15:18] soldiers who created certain
[00:15:21] control zones, control zones belonged to the most
[00:15:25] affected regions by famine. In
[00:15:28] general, these peacekeeping forces
[00:15:31] prevented the movement of armed groups, that is,
[00:15:34] they stabilized the situation, however... This
[00:15:38] mission was probably not completed, because
[00:15:41] real reconciliation between the warring
[00:15:45] clans did not happen, but
[00:15:47] Washington was not going to finish what it had started.
[00:15:50] Instead, the mission was
[00:15:54] declared completed, and its powers were
[00:15:57] transferred to the UNISOM-2 mission, within which
[00:16:00] only 3,000 American advisors and consultants
[00:16:04] remained in Somalia, of course, with a decrease...
[00:16:07] The creative contingent's participation in
[00:16:11] Somalia's affairs by external actors led to an intensification of
[00:16:15] conflictual interaction within the country, various
[00:16:19] groups began to claim to seize the control
[00:16:22] zones of peacekeepers,
[00:16:25] they began to carry out raids, including
[00:16:28] quite serious attacks on peacekeeping
[00:16:32] contingents. Washington's response was
[00:16:35] harsh: the goal of the operation on October 3,
[00:16:39] 1993, was the elimination of
[00:16:42] Aidid, but instead of a surgical strike,
[00:16:45] American special forces were drawn into street fighting in
[00:16:49] Mogadishu. One of the central
[00:16:52] figures is field commander Aidid,
[00:16:56] who is behind many successful attacks, including
[00:17:00] attacks on Pakistani servicemen. The reaction from
[00:17:04] the US was harsh. It
[00:17:07] boiled down to an attempt to eliminate Aidid. As
[00:17:11] a result of this mission, several
[00:17:15] of Aidid's assistants were indeed destroyed,
[00:17:18] but overall the mission was characterized as
[00:17:21] a failure, primarily because it led to
[00:17:24] serious losses among Americans,
[00:17:27] in fact their operation was exposed, partly this
[00:17:31] was a consequence of such an inflated media effect,
[00:17:35] because in the media after... By the way, after the first Gulf War
[00:17:39] they started showing a lot of hot spots. The American public
[00:17:43] followed hot spots in the world with interest and pushed
[00:17:46] the government to increase its presence there, well, of course, to
[00:17:50] protect human rights. When the government came there, also in
[00:17:54] Somalia, they faced the fact that the local population was not happy with them, they had already
[00:17:58] seen how American TNCs work, in general they
[00:18:01] want to define the characteristics of the political
[00:18:05] regime in their own interests, to live, in their interests
[00:18:08] to act, so this operation in
[00:18:11] Somalia, the American one, ended quite ingloriously,
[00:18:14] they withdrew their troops, having achieved nothing.
[00:18:17] 28 American
[00:18:20] servicemen died, and several
[00:18:23] dozen more were wounded. In addition, a helicopter was shot down and
[00:18:27] its pilot was captured, which led to
[00:18:30] this operation being called Black
[00:18:34] Hawk Down. General Aidid remained unharmed,
[00:18:38] he remained free, the conflict in Somalia
[00:18:41] continued, the number of attacks
[00:18:45] on peacekeeping forces,
[00:18:47] represented not by Americans at all, but
[00:18:50] by Pakistanis, Indians,
[00:18:53] Egyptians, representatives of several other Asian
[00:18:57] states, these attacks continued, dozens of peacekeepers
[00:19:01] died, and the role
[00:19:04] of the US turned out to be nominal in resolving
[00:19:07] this conflict. For the United States, it was an example
[00:19:10] of demonstrating power, for the UN it was
[00:19:13] a humanitarian mission that was supposed to
[00:19:16] improve the well-being of the local population of Somalia.
[00:19:20] Americans thus effectively demonstrated
[00:19:23] disregard for the UN system, for the goals
[00:19:26] of the UN, and signed off on the fact that they are not
[00:19:30] ready to support UN projects if these projects
[00:19:33] threaten their security.
[00:19:47] In this sense, of course, it is important
[00:19:50] to understand that all American interventions,
[00:19:53] whether in Iraq, whether in Somalia
[00:19:56] or in any other part of the planet, bring with them
[00:19:59] not prosperity, right, let's see if there is more
[00:20:02] security in Iraq after the American intervention, in
[00:20:06] Afghanistan. Are people protected, do those much-praised
[00:20:10] democratic procedures that are talked about so much
[00:20:13] really work? Therefore, this idea of protecting
[00:20:16] people's security by violating state security is
[00:20:20] inherently contradictory, because
[00:20:22] human security cannot be achieved without
[00:20:26] state security, and by destroying the state, state
[00:20:30] institutions, the US does not bring democracy, they only
[00:20:33] take away those political foundations...
[00:20:50] many subsequent conflicts, both in
[00:20:53] African countries, primarily in East Africa, and in
[00:20:57] the Middle East. In Somalia, the Americans entered into
[00:21:00] conflict with illegal armed groups, by and large
[00:21:03] these were terrorists, separatists who engaged in
[00:21:07] guerrilla warfare, had
[00:21:10] their field camps, trained militants there,
[00:21:13] and exactly the same practice
[00:21:15] was used by the enemies
[00:21:18] of the United States. And
[00:21:31] threats, including various field commanders,
[00:21:35] leaders, ideologues,
[00:21:46] all terrorist groups, they are always
[00:21:50] concentric, that is, there are many leaders
[00:21:53] of different levels, different statuses, and when
[00:21:56] the first ones are eliminated, the second ones come in their place, and this
[00:22:00] chain is virtually unbroken, it can
[00:22:03] exist indefinitely, and for a comprehensive
[00:22:06] fight against a terrorist
[00:22:09] movement, an equally comprehensive coverage
[00:22:12] of the terrorist group is needed, identifying all
[00:22:16] networks, channels, participants, intermediaries, sources...
[00:22:43] The US in Venezuela, when they simply
[00:22:46] kidnapped the leader of the state. Can
[00:22:49] one say that such a practice affected
[00:22:53] Venezuela? Absolutely, but in Venezuela there is a state
[00:22:56] system that was left without a leader, and if we talk
[00:22:59] about a terrorist movement,
[00:23:02] then such a practice will only lead to the embitterment of its
[00:23:05] participants and the emergence of many
[00:23:09] new cells. The example of Somalia largely showed this, because
[00:23:12] from the conflict in Somalia, the formation
[00:23:16] of the terrorist group, al-Shabaab, the penetration of al-Qaeda
[00:23:20] into Somalia, and later the Islamic
[00:23:24] State, has its origins. Today
[00:23:27] it is said that the al-Shabaab group is linked to
[00:23:30] another terrorist group in Africa, Boko
[00:23:34] Haram, operating in Nigeria, Cameroon, and that in
[00:23:38] turn is linked to terrorist groups in
[00:23:42] the Maghreb countries, Al-Qaeda in the Maghreb countries, the Islamic State in the Maghreb countries.
[00:23:45] Somalia was a precedent, a starting point for... Most
[00:24:28] likely, for African states, neither the socialist direction
[00:24:31] nor the capitalist way of doing business is more acceptable,
[00:24:35] but rather something in between, which would exclude
[00:24:38] nepotism, which would exclude
[00:24:42] tribalism in African countries, which
[00:24:45] and in general African countries suffer
[00:24:48] from the fact that there is no established
[00:24:51] political system, no established healthcare system,
[00:24:55] no established education
[00:24:58] system. This leads to them being
[00:25:01] constantly in such a state of
[00:25:04] transformation, there is no sustainable development in these
[00:25:07] countries, in further development, possessing
[00:25:10] colossal natural resources, in any case
[00:25:14] with the increasing role of the educated
[00:25:17] population in Africa, in principle, over the
[00:25:20] last 50-60 years Africa has made a colossal
[00:25:24] step forward in this direction, the number of educated people is now
[00:25:28] 80% in many countries, yes, this will most
[00:25:31] likely lead to meritocracy, it
[00:25:34] will lead to African countries acquiring
[00:25:37] true sovereignty and independence in foreign
[00:25:41] policy.
[00:25:52] undoubtedly is the development of the population, its
[00:25:56] education, provision of
[00:25:58] medicines, in principle, the creation of a positive
[00:26:01] humanitarian situation. For example, if you look at the practices
[00:26:05] of the American USAID, then we will see that these are also
[00:26:08] demonstrative actions, the delivery of a batch of medicines
[00:26:12] or the delivery of laptops for schools or
[00:26:15] some other product, a one-time
[00:26:18] demonstrative one, accompanied by peace
[00:26:21] ambassadors, accompanied by a large amount of press,
[00:26:25] but this is not about stability, this is not building
[00:26:29] a hospital for decades or a school, this is not...
[00:26:32] rehabilitation of children involved in military
[00:26:35] conflicts, this is not
[00:26:37] rehabilitation of women affected by military
[00:26:41] conflicts, that is, the idea of planned,
[00:26:44] systematic, methodical, completely thankless work, it is not
[00:26:47] attractive for the American-European
[00:26:50] model of transformation of this
[00:26:53] social order in Africa, which means terrorist groups will continue
[00:26:57] to exist and will periodically emerge
[00:27:01] in different places. With roughly the same goals.
[00:27:32] In Vladivostok, people are used to getting up early and waiting for the whole country
[00:27:36] to wake up. But when great opportunities arise in business,
[00:27:39] there's no time to wait. A business loan at

[00:27:47] minute. Now you won't say that we're playing small. This is business, and
[00:27:50] business is done. Your salary is capable of

[00:27:57] mobile communication from Sber Mobile. And also participate in
[00:28:01] the drawing.

[00:33:15] things in Russia are being remembered for combating Ukrainian drones,
[00:33:18] the experience of 1941, when the sky over the capital
[00:33:22] was protected from German bombers by
[00:33:26] barrage balloons, and, as they say, they coped
[00:33:29] quite well with this. Let's go to the point, okay,
[00:33:33] let's go, right now they are testing the barrier
[00:33:36] system on two small 150-cubic-meter
[00:33:40] balloons, a heavy weight, of course,
[00:33:42] pull smoothly, release,
[00:33:45] you can immediately hook up a net, fasten the net,
[00:33:48] raise it to 20 meters,
[00:33:51] like two celestial whales,
[00:33:54] the aerostats synchronously ascend to the given
[00:33:57] height, this is the very first air defense system,
[00:34:00] it appeared when there were no anti-aircraft guns, no
[00:34:04] air defense missiles, you see, two
[00:34:07] aerostats, a cable is stretched between them, from which
[00:34:11] special Kevlar cords hang.
[00:34:14] which actually constitute the defense, during the First
[00:34:18] World War such defenses were called aprons,
[00:34:21] later nets were also used, this is a trap
[00:34:25] system, it is designed for rear
[00:34:28] protection of especially important infrastructure facilities,
[00:34:31] factories, refineries, military units or
[00:34:35] residential buildings and so on. For Ukrainian
[00:34:38] drones, vertical cords hanging a meter apart
[00:34:41] will be enough. 800
[00:34:44] kg,
[00:34:49] the distance between the cables can be increased or decreased, depending
[00:34:53] on the size of the target, even a small helicopter will not
[00:34:57] pass through, the strength of the cables will be enough to tear off the wings
[00:35:00] of even a large drone, and a
[00:35:02] small one will simply get entangled in the barrier
[00:35:06] system, like in nets,
[00:35:09] during tests the drone wrapped
[00:35:12] the cable. Several Russian companies
[00:35:15] was able to demonstrate
[00:35:23] immediately claim, but only the scientific and production enterprise Spetsradio
[00:35:30] a fully ready system in
[00:35:32] in fact.
[00:35:35] How many such aerostats are needed to close the oil refinery
[00:35:39] in Kapotnya? Well, to ensure the protection of such
[00:35:42] a large volume, it will
[00:35:45] be at least ten such complexes of aerostats that
[00:35:49] will prevent the flight of unmanned aerial vehicles. These
[00:35:52] aerostat systems have been trying to be implemented by enthusiasts
[00:35:55] of aeronautics for 30 years, they proposed
[00:35:59] using huge transport airships to send goods to Siberia,
[00:36:02] they planned expeditions to the North Pole, the resumption of
[00:36:06] cheap passenger flights to America. For
[00:36:09] the military, aerostats were developed that are capable
[00:36:12] of raising radars into the stratosphere for
[00:36:15] several weeks, that is, the airship, according
[00:36:18] to our project, we have a patent,
[00:36:22] Russian, for this solution,
[00:36:24] when we suspend a solar battery
[00:36:28] inside a transparent shell, but we only fly
[00:36:32] in the polar zone and during the polar day, that is, for half a year we
[00:36:36] can fly in the zone of polar circles, on such
[00:36:39] a device quite successfully, here one
[00:36:42] prototype is still gathering dust in the hangar, here is
[00:36:46] the Gepard complex, which can bring
[00:36:49] benefit, but at the moment it is gathering dust, it
[00:36:53] can detect drones, it can
[00:36:55] suppress them, but it needs... at the moment it brings no benefit to anyone.
[00:36:59] In the early 2000s,
[00:37:03] the Ministry of Defense showed interest in modern
[00:37:06] aerostats several times, high-ranking generals
[00:37:09] came to the tests, but no orders followed then.
[00:37:13] True, in those years no one even assumed that
[00:37:16] drones would pose such a threat. All
[00:37:20] the interest was there, there was a team to deal with this
[00:37:24] issue, but it's still standing in a closed
[00:37:27] hangar, for 20 years, 20 years, nobody needs
[00:37:30] it, it turns out, it turns out, yes, and this is all, although now
[00:37:34] on the front line, uh, this, I
[00:37:36] believe, would be good help to our
[00:37:39] fighters, my son himself was mobilized to the SVO, he has
[00:37:43] been there for five years, for the sky radar, even
[00:37:46] a mobile mooring unit was made on the basis of
[00:37:49] Kamaz, here - a cable with a diameter of 14
[00:37:53] mm, so electricity is supplied through it,
[00:37:57] power to the onboard
[00:38:00] equipment, and also two optical fiber
[00:38:03] communication lines for information retrieval, the volume
[00:38:07] of the shell is 1,200 cubic meters, here
[00:38:10] the Gepard, an aerial drone trap, ideally should
[00:38:14] work something like this: the Gepard complex with radars
[00:38:17] determines the altitude of the enemy drone
[00:38:21] and automatic winches of aerostats correct
[00:38:24] the ascent of the entire barrier system, so that the cables...
[00:38:57] reminds one of a giant dumpling, another a flying pattypan squash.
[00:39:01] The developers assure that the shape was calculated on a computer
[00:39:04] and tested in a wind tunnel. This is a tethered
[00:39:08] aerostat, it was chosen
[00:39:11] specifically for these low altitudes, from
[00:39:15] 50 to 300 m. This
[00:39:18] shape allows it to withstand
[00:39:21] atmospheric gusts that occur in this
[00:39:25] altitude range, which affects
[00:40:28] because people, with their own funds, bring in
[00:40:32] very complex equipment,
[00:40:34] make the ground part, make
[00:40:37] the aerostatic part, modernize it to our
[00:40:40] operating conditions, already from the late thirties,
[00:40:43] the command of the Red Army understood that aerostat
[00:40:47] barriers were not only effective, but could
[00:40:50] soon be useful, they were created for the country's own
[00:40:54] defense, and pilots were prepared for the possibility.
[00:41:40] Moscow was on guard, where there were such
[00:41:42] lines. A triple ring of invisible steel
[00:41:46] threads, aerostats entangled Moscow. Over the capital,
[00:41:50] up to 1 million meters
[00:41:53] of steel cable constantly hung. In his memoirs, the Chief of Staff
[00:41:57] of the Aerostat Barrier Division, Alexander
[00:41:59] Astraumov, recalled that already in August 1941,
[00:42:03] in the Khoroshovo area, with the help of an aerostat,
[00:42:07] a heavy Heinkel bomber was destroyed.
[00:42:10] 111, which hooked its wing on a weighted
[00:42:13] cable. The fascist plane, after hitting the cable, according
[00:42:17] to observations from post A3, began to lose
[00:42:20] balance, tumble, and break into pieces in
[00:42:23] the air. The wreckage of the downed plane fell into the
[00:42:26] Moscow River near the Khoroshovo village council by
[00:42:29] the church. The bodies of four German pilots with iron
[00:42:33] crosses were later found by divers. There is data
[00:42:36] from the Luftwaffe, they lost planes without a trace.
[00:42:40] Yes, which flew to Moscow, and some neighboring
[00:42:43] German crews reported that, "damn,
[00:42:46] we hit that night cable again." According to German data, they lost
[00:42:50] 12 planes. In the archives, according to the advisor to the director
[00:42:53] of the Federal Protective Service, information has been preserved about the fall
[00:42:57] of a damaged aerostat after a German
[00:42:59] raid directly on the Kremlin. One of the air-raid
[00:43:03] balloons fell on the Kremlin. It fell
[00:43:07] between Kutafia and Troitskaya Tower. By itself. No, a German
[00:43:10] plane hit it, the plane fell
[00:43:14] on the Shviyevaya Gorka, where the high-rise building on Kotelnicheskaya
[00:43:17] Embankment is now, the aerostat crashed into Alexander's Garden itself,
[00:43:20] we are standing right opposite, that is, the plane that hit the
[00:43:24] aerostat fell there, the aerostat was accordingly damaged
[00:43:27] and fell, it took an hour and a half to clear it, to combat
[00:43:30] cable barriers, the Germans began to use
[00:43:33] paravanes, barriers with cutting edges, which
[00:43:37] were attached to the cockpit of the plane and the wingtips.
[00:44:04] drove along the leading edge of the aircraft wing
[00:44:08] and pulled a
[00:44:10] mine towards the aircraft, meaning if such a mine reached
[00:44:13] the aircraft, the aircraft was definitely doomed.
[00:44:16] The effect of this was more psychological than
[00:44:19] practical. German pilots either completely
[00:44:21] refused to carry out missions, or climbed so
[00:44:25] high that accurate bombing from there was
[00:44:28] impossible. At the same time, of course, accuracy
[00:44:30] was lost. And the planes
[00:44:34] were more vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire, that
[00:44:37] is, they remained longer in the
[00:44:40] zone of anti-aircraft batteries, that
[00:44:43] is, aerostat barriers, they worked
[00:44:46] in conjunction with anti-aircraft
[00:44:49] batteries, and these two means mutually
[00:44:52] increased each other's effectiveness. After the war,
[00:44:56] aerostat barriers were forgotten, but they were revisited
[00:44:59] in the seventies of the last century with the appearance of
[00:45:02] low-flying cruise missiles, a huge number
[00:45:06] of tethered aerostat
[00:45:10] complexes for reconnaissance and
[00:45:13] for combating low-flying aircraft.
[00:45:17] All of this turned out to be
[00:45:20] useless to anyone, that is, they are stored in
[00:45:23] certain storage warehouses,
[00:45:27] but few of the leadership
[00:45:29] know that all of this really exists, and all
[00:45:32] of this can be launched within 2-3 months with
[00:45:36] political will and
[00:45:40] minimal such funding. Another thing is that
[00:45:43] the shells of those military Soviet aerostats were made of
[00:45:46] rubberized heavy material, and could well not
[00:45:50] have survived to our days. But all this was available and
[00:45:53] was supposed to withstand even not plastic light-engine
[00:45:57] drones, but jet
[00:46:00] Tomahawks. Here a rocket flies and what, it won't
[00:46:04] pierce this net? The thing is that
[00:46:07] it will pierce the net, but the point is that your
[00:46:10] autopilot breaks, because you have an impact,
[00:46:14] and part of the control
[00:46:17] surfaces, wings, well, the wings break, that's it, it won't
[00:46:21] fly further, it will just go into an uncontrolled flight,
[00:46:24] as a result, the Soviet aerostat barrier system was written off
[00:46:28] to scrap along with the Soviet Union, to say that this is
[00:46:32] archaic, that these are some kind of amusements of some
[00:46:35] old women, in fact, it's just to take it all.
[00:46:40] to raise, so to speak, the specialists who dealt with
[00:46:43] this, there are still officers,
[00:46:46] who, so to speak, are ready to fulfill their duty to
[00:46:49] the motherland, all this needs to be revived.
[00:46:57] The first attempt to shoot down cruise missiles in this
[00:47:01] way occurred in Yugoslavia in ninety-nine,
[00:47:05] aerostats were not used there, automotive
[00:47:08] cranes or classic tower cranes were used,
[00:47:12] they were placed along the valleys of rivers, and
[00:47:16] between these cranes they stretched, well,
[00:47:19] a simple metal net made of
[00:47:22] thin steel cable,
[00:47:25] in general, several cruise missiles
[00:47:28] were shot down after the bombing of Yugoslavia,
[00:47:32] cable barriers once again interested the Russian
[00:47:35] military. At the turn of the century, by order of the Ministry of Defense,
[00:47:39] an aerostat system against cruise missiles was developed
[00:47:42] based on modern materials and technologies,
[00:47:46] the barrier was tested at a training ground with a model of a Soviet
[00:47:49] cruise missile installed on a railway
[00:47:52] carriage, well, it was accelerated
[00:47:56] by a rocket booster, the entire carriage, then the carriage
[00:48:00] was braked, and the model left it and flew by
[00:48:03] inertia, that is, a large gunpowder
[00:48:07] slingshot, from which models were shot at
[00:48:11] nets, and what was the result? The result was
[00:48:14] that the model was destroyed, its wing was cut off, this
[00:48:18] was unexpected for both the military and the designers of cruise missiles,
[00:48:22] who before the tests openly laughed at
[00:48:25] the developers of aerostat barriers.
[00:48:28] "Guys, come on, what,
[00:48:32] the rocket will fly through this funny
[00:48:35] net, like a hot
[00:48:39] knife passes through a slice of
[00:48:42] butter, but in reality it turned out not to be quite
[00:48:46] so, the butter also showed
[00:48:48] itself, the knife suddenly broke, well, here..."
[00:48:52] it ended in nothing, the project was somehow classified,
[00:48:55] put on the shelf, and the most sad thing is that
[00:48:59] we in Russia do not have
[00:49:03] production of aerostat fabrics, that is, what
[00:49:06] is being built now is imported materials, it's
[00:49:09] China, Taiwan, Korea and other countries, unfortunately,
[00:49:12] Dolgoprudny KB Automation was responsible for this
[00:49:15] for a long time, they repeatedly
[00:49:19] conducted research work, but...
[00:49:22] there is no production of aerostat
[00:49:25] fabrics, on one fueling,
[00:49:28] aerostats can stay in the air for several
[00:49:31] days, then they just need to be released for
[00:49:35] gas refueling. Yes, the weather was heavy, there was
[00:49:38] heavy rain, so it needs
[00:49:42] to be refilled. Modern aerostats are usually filled with helium,
[00:49:46] a volatile and safe gas. The era of hydrogen airships
[00:49:49] ended in 1937.
[00:50:01] Germany in the USA, and during mooring 2000
[00:50:05] cubic meters of gas flared up like
[00:50:07] a candle. Under the wreckage of Hindenburg, in a hellish
[00:50:11] flame, 36
[00:50:13] people died.
[00:50:19] But the helium that replaced hydrogen is expensive.
[00:50:23] a scarce gas, so the developers of the barrier system decided
[00:50:26] to fill their aerostats with so-called phlegmatized
[00:50:29] hydrogen, a gas with the addition of special
[00:50:33] additives. The advantage of this hydrogen is that first - its
[00:50:37] price when refuelling,
[00:50:40] and the lifting force, according to calculations, will
[00:50:44] even be higher than that of helium, somewhere by 5 or 7%, but
[00:50:48] for large apparatuses this plays a significant role in gaining
[00:50:52] lifting force. That's it, refueling begins, supply
[00:50:55] hydrogen,
[00:50:57] the main advantage of this mixture, phlegmatized hydrogen, is that it is not
[00:51:01] flammable and not
[00:51:01] explosive,
[00:51:05] so from a machine gun you can shoot down this aerostat, it's
[00:51:09] very difficult to do, that is, when bullets hit,
[00:51:12] the shell will simply be pierced through and through, and the hydrogen
[00:51:15] will slowly escape from it, that is, it will not
[00:51:19] catch fire, it will not explode.
[00:51:22] That is, it will continue to hang until it loses, so to speak,
[00:51:25] its positive buoyancy in the air, and
[00:51:29] if a kamikaze drone crashes into it
[00:51:31] and explodes, for example, with 20 kg
[00:51:34] of explosives, the hole will be larger,
[00:51:38] it will tear the shell, and all the gas will escape from it very quickly,
[00:51:42] and accordingly it will fall, while
[00:51:45] the aerostat shell can be patched right in the field
[00:51:48] conditions, also on site in a mobile autovan unit.
[00:51:52] hydrogen itself is produced, water for
[00:51:55] electrolysis can be taken from a nearby river, the cost
[00:51:59] of producing hydrogen on site without taking into account capital costs
[00:52:02] for the installation will be approximately.
[00:52:14] To launch an aerostat barrier system with
[00:52:17] phlegmatized hydrogen costs approximately 800
[00:52:21] rubles and 3000 with helium, the difference
[00:52:25] is significant,
[00:52:28] aerostat systems can be placed on any transport
[00:52:31] vehicles, on pickups, on ATVs, on special
[00:52:35] all-terrain vehicles, anywhere we can inflate
[00:52:38] this aerostat with a small cylinder, raise
[00:52:42] the necessary payload to the desired height,
[00:52:46] and all this can be done very quickly and efficiently, descend and
[00:52:50] accordingly change its deployment location. Even on the smallest
[00:52:53] aerostats, a quite useful payload in battle can be hung,
[00:52:57] from radio signal amplifiers to surveillance
[00:53:00] cameras, the use of hydrogen
[00:53:03] is proposed to be expanded. From such a puddle, we can
[00:53:07] refuel 20 such aerostats. After attacks on
[00:53:10] oil refineries, the fuel shortage can be
[00:53:14] completely compensated by partially converting equipment to
[00:53:17] hydrogen. In South Korea, tanks are already being converted to
[00:53:20] hydrogen.
[00:53:23] But for now, the hydrogen revolution begins with aerostats and
[00:53:27] heavy hexacopters. Fuel cells that convert
[00:53:30] hydrogen into electrical current are of domestic production.
[00:54:05] refueling completed,
[00:54:07] with the umbilical cords tightened, the aerostats are once again
[00:54:11] brought out of the hangars for testing. These
[00:54:15] sky barriers were remembered, of course, not because
[00:54:18] the country had exhausted all means of protection against
[00:54:22] Ukrainian drones, on the contrary, there are plenty of
[00:54:25] various proposals and methods. Recently, we
[00:54:28] showed how super-modern combat
[00:54:31] laser systems burn enemy firepoints in the sky.
[00:54:35] There is a line of very effective kamikaze
[00:54:38] drones that are no less successfully shooting down
[00:54:41] drones, mobile groups of
[00:54:44] machine gunners and operators of
[00:54:48] anti-aircraft artillery
[00:54:50] installations selflessly repel
[00:54:53] air attacks, and missile systems like Pantsir are being produced more
[00:54:57] and more every month.
[00:55:00] Now all this is simply proposed to be combined with
[00:55:03] aerostat protection. The last
[00:55:06] meter,
[00:55:08] it definitely won't
[00:55:10] get worse.
[00:55:18] I saw information on TikTok about how to get to
[00:55:21] Ukraine.
[00:55:29] One of the ways for foreign mercenaries to join the ranks
[00:55:33] of the AFU is to contact the Ukrainian.
[00:56:05] suicidal orders, while AFU soldiers sit in their bunkers playing on their phones.
