[00:00:30] to mine fossils, ore,
[00:00:32] minerals, because they are
[00:00:36] protected by UNESCO,
[00:00:39] WWF, Greenpeace, allegedly,
[00:00:42] protecting the landscape, small nations,
[00:00:46] the scenery, historical memory, and so on and so forth. In
[00:00:49] reality, without bombs, without missiles, without
[00:00:53] shells, without any war,
[00:00:56] they simply pushed us out of those territories
[00:01:00] that should have developed our
[00:01:04] state, our economy, our country,
[00:01:07] our future. Isn't it strange that we don't
[00:01:10] decide this ourselves, but someone else
[00:01:13] decides it for us? Isn't it strange that we
[00:01:16] timidly replace the word "Russian" in direct
[00:01:19] speech or even in literature with the word
[00:01:22] "Rossiysky" (Russian citizen), fearing to offend someone? Whom,
[00:01:26] why? Listen to what he says:
[00:03:00] maintaining sanctions regimes against Russia,
[00:03:03] it has direct ties with the company
[00:03:06] Palantir, this is the largest developer
[00:03:10] of software for data analysis, including for
[00:03:13] American military structures and special services.
[00:03:17] October 14-15, the Spark Interfax team
[00:03:20] took part in a global forum in London on sanctions. It
[00:03:24] was an amazing event, a great opportunity for
[00:03:27] meaningful communication with colleagues from around the world.
[00:03:31] On behalf of Spart Interfax, we express our enormous gratitude
[00:03:34] to the organizers of the forum. It was a pleasure to participate in such a significant
[00:03:38] event. We hope to see everyone next
[00:03:41] year. By the way, soon after, Interfax's
[00:03:44] publication about its participation in
[00:03:47] the forum on sanctions against Russia in London was
[00:03:51] deleted by them, but as they say, the Internet
[00:03:55] remembers everything. And on September 28,
[00:03:58] 2026, the president's decree number
[00:04:02] 686 on approving the list
[00:04:06] of information in the field of the fuel and energy
[00:04:10] complex, access to which is restricted
[00:04:13] in the order of its use, was issued. In connection with
[00:04:16] the need to take measures in
[00:04:19] response to unfriendly actions by
[00:04:22] the US and the states and international organizations
[00:04:26] that joined them. We understand why such a decree was issued.
[00:04:30] Because companies, agencies, private individuals
[00:04:33] do not have the right to publish information about
[00:04:36] our energy and fuel in the media
[00:04:39] and on the Internet. But what can we talk about if since
[00:04:43] 2022, without hiding, completely
[00:04:46] officially, despite
[00:04:50] the ban from the Ministry of Energy, this
[00:04:53] information has been transmitted by our Interfax
[00:04:57] to the Ministry of Natural Resources according
[00:05:00] to a contract
[00:05:03] concluded until 2027.
[00:05:07] Today in our program we talked about this
[00:05:11] column, although we called our broadcast column
[00:05:14] number five. Why? I will explain. The thing is that the fifth
[00:05:18] column is like enemies within
[00:05:21] the country who do everything to destroy it, to
[00:05:25] open the gates from within for the enemy. But
[00:05:28] if we delve into the word column, as a military
[00:05:32] official term, then in principle,
[00:05:35] it means a column of prisoners of war. And if we
[00:05:39] truly and
[00:05:42] really carefully
[00:05:45] treat our country, our
[00:05:48] culture, our traditions, our history, we
[00:05:52] will inevitably
[00:05:55] see those
[00:05:58] who do not want prosperity for our
[00:06:01] homeland, who are hiding, who
[00:06:04] are waiting for their moment to open
[00:06:08] the gates to the enemies from within, then
[00:06:11] on...
[00:06:43] July 17, 1944,
[00:06:46] such a column marched through
[00:06:49] Moscow streets, and behind them, street sweepers
[00:06:52] washed their
[00:06:54] tracks from the pavement of the capital.
[00:06:58] That's how they cleaned,
[00:07:01] purified the land of all Nazi filth, so that no trace of it
[00:07:04] remained.
[00:07:08] And a year later, the standards and banners
[00:07:11] of German troops were thrown at the foot
[00:07:14] of the Mausoleum, and a few more years later,
[00:07:18] a Russian man flew into space,
[00:07:36] so I propose, without violating
[00:07:39] our tradition,
[00:07:42] while the special military operation is ongoing,
[00:07:46] to raise a glass with you, my dear
[00:07:48] viewers, to
[00:07:52] victory, to our victory.
[00:08:06] Well, here he

[00:11:59] massive strike on military targets in Ukraine. Odessa,
[00:12:02] Chernomorsk, Kremenchug, and Kyiv region came under fire. Meanwhile, Russian
[00:12:06] troops continue their offensive in several
[00:12:09] directions of the front. Details and footage of combat operations in
[00:12:12] Igor
[00:12:13] Pihanov's material.
[00:12:21] Throughout the past night, missiles and reactive drones burned out military
[00:12:25] facilities across Ukraine. Enterprises that work for
[00:12:28] the Ukrainian Armed Forces were also hit.
[00:12:32] The Ministry of Defense reported that a data center used by militants to collect
[00:12:35] information was destroyed in Odessa. In the port of
[00:12:39] Chernomorsk, a vessel transporting cargo for the Ukrainian Armed Forces was hit.
[00:12:42] Port infrastructure
[00:12:43] was damaged.
[00:12:47] A thermal power plant was hit in Kremenchug. In Kyiv and its environs,
[00:12:51] electrical substations were destroyed. This will complicate the repair of assembly factories.
[00:13:25] the subway and sewage system are working. Experts say colossal funds were
[00:13:28] allocated to prepare cities for winter, but they were stolen.
[00:13:32] Plan B, Plan C. We predict that
[00:13:36] there will be no light and heat, we need to use Plan B.
[00:13:39] Relocation. Public utilities were not ready, they did
[00:13:42] nothing. Meanwhile, Russian military are advancing on all
[00:13:46] fronts. In the Kharkov region, units of the
[00:13:50] North group of forces liberated two settlements at once, the villages
[00:13:53] of Reznikovo and Kupino. Near Volchansk, the enemy was
[00:13:56] encircled, and its destruction is underway. Daily,
[00:13:59] the enemy loses several hundred people. Ukrainian
[00:14:03] soldiers who lay down their weapons are guaranteed safety and
[00:14:06] decent treatment. Guys, those
[00:14:10] on positions, lay down your weapons and surrender
[00:14:14] so that everything ends sooner,
[00:14:16] or run away,
[00:14:19] fighters of the center group of forces are liberating Donbass. Units
[00:14:22] took two more villages in
[00:14:26] the DPR, Novotroitskoe and Petrovskoe. The battle for
[00:14:29] Dobropolye is underway. Assault units are taking street after
[00:14:33] street. Ukrainian Armed Forces positions are being destroyed by drones, artillery,
[00:14:37] and aviation.
[00:14:40] Southern grouping fighters are striking the enemy in the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk
[00:14:43] agglomeration. Attack aircraft entered Druzhkovka. On the Krasny Liman
[00:14:47] direction of the front, units of the Western group of forces
[00:14:50] are advancing. Ground and air forces are working on the militants.
[00:14:54] For personnel, we mainly use
[00:14:57] fragmentation with
[00:15:00] damaging elements.
[00:15:04] For artillery pieces and equipment,
[00:15:06] we primarily use
[00:15:10] cumulative charges. In Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhye regions, enemy sabotage groups
[00:15:13] tried to infiltrate through the front line. Fighters
[00:15:17] of the Vostok group of forces destroyed two groups
[00:15:20] of militants, repelled attacks and took advantageous positions.
[00:15:23] We prevent rotation.
[00:15:25] Well, we also work with UAVs,
[00:15:29] uncover dugouts, command posts. In the neighboring sector
[00:15:33] of the Zaporozhye front, unmanned aviation of the Dnepr group of forces is destroying
[00:15:37] the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the city of Orekhov. This is one of the enemy's main strongholds in
[00:15:41] the region. Assault troops entered the northern part of the settlement.
[00:15:45] Our fighters blocked the supply of ammunition
[00:15:48] and reinforcements. One shell, fire!
[00:15:51] Shot!
[00:15:54] Another important task for our fighters is to protect cities from Ukrainian
[00:15:58] drones. Mobile fire groups shoot down thousands of aerial
[00:16:01] targets, from heavy hexacopters to high-speed
[00:16:04] UAVs. Igor Pikhanov, Vesti!
[00:16:08] Two people died, 13 more were injured
[00:16:11] as a result of attacks on the LPR. This was announced by the head
[00:16:14] of the region, Leonid Pasechnik. The heaviest blow fell on
[00:16:18] Lisichansk. At night, drones attacked
[00:16:21] the private sector, dozens of houses were damaged, some were destroyed
[00:16:25] to the ground. Among the dead is a fifteen-year-old
[00:16:28] teenager. The railway infrastructure was also hit. In total,
[00:16:32] 11 municipalities of the republic came under fire. In
[00:16:35] a number of settlements there is no electricity. There are interruptions with
[00:16:39] water.
[00:16:42] The head of the Kyiv regime is incapable of thoughtful actions, said
[00:16:45] Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov. He added that
[00:16:49] Zelensky could already now demonstrate a propensity for peaceful
[00:16:52] negotiations, but instead he continues to take
[00:16:56] aggressive actions against Russia. Peskov stressed that
[00:16:59] such a policy is erroneous and that Ukraine has to
[00:17:02] pay a heavy price for it. Earlier, American President Donald Trump
[00:17:06] announced that...
[00:18:07] the same failed neoconservatives, continue to
[00:18:10] demand that America fund it
[00:18:13] forever. Zelensky must leave so that peace can
[00:18:17] truly be discussed. On Capitol Hill, they even called
[00:18:20] those who oppose Trump's peace initiatives
[00:18:23] hypocrites. There have been no presidential elections in Ukraine since
[00:18:26] 2019. Billions of US dollars were sent
[00:18:30] there under the previous administration. The war must
[00:18:33] end, and Zelensky must listen to what the US
[00:18:36] President says. The United States' proposal will benefit everyone, but we cannot
[00:18:40] allow this war to continue. Some European
[00:18:43] politicians, who have already experienced the energy crisis and the consequences
[00:18:47] of anti-Russian sanctions, are again calling for a constructive dialogue with
[00:18:50] Russia, for the sake of the citizens of their own countries.
[00:18:54] America defends its national interests, while we in the European Union impose
[00:18:58] sanctions and embargoes. We moralize, pay huge
[00:19:02] amounts for diesel fuel, and tremble with fear, will there be
[00:19:05] enough? Soon at EU gas stations we will be refueling with expensive American
[00:19:09] diesel of Russian origin, but not everyone
[00:19:12] shares this opinion. In pursuit of political ambitions for power in
[00:19:15] the European Union, they suddenly remembered the principles
[00:19:18] of democracy.
[00:19:21] It's certainly not up to Donald Trump to dictate the election calendar
[00:19:24] of a sovereign state like Ukraine. In Estonia,
[00:19:28] they even proposed to increase aid to Ukraine as quickly as possible so that it could
[00:19:32] continue to strike Russian refineries, if only to somehow
[00:19:36] spite Washington. Anna Voronina, Matvey Popov, Vesti!
[00:19:49] Dom.RF Bank knows that when you invest in caring for
[00:19:53] loved ones, you always want to give more, and even
[00:19:56] more.

[00:23:33] Iraq, Syria, Qatar and Kuwait condemned the attack by the Yemeni Houthi
[00:23:37] movement on Riyadh airport. According to Al Jazeera, the airport
[00:23:40] ceased operations until Sunday evening.
[00:23:44] Meanwhile, the Houthis promise to continue attacks. How long can
[00:23:47] they sustain new attacks on Saudi Arabia? And how will the kingdom
[00:23:51] respond? Natalia Goncharova will tell us.
[00:23:55] This is what Riyadh airport looks like after the attack by Yemeni
[00:23:58] Houthis. 12 people died, more than 300
[00:24:01] were injured. The rebels declare that the use of all
[00:24:05] airports in Saudi Arabia, with the exception of the holy cities of Mecca and
[00:24:09] Medina, is no longer safe. The Houthi
[00:24:12] armed forces again warn all airlines and
[00:24:15] travelers about the danger of using Saudi
[00:24:19] airports and airspace. The Houthis note that
[00:24:22] they plan to continue attacks on the most important facilities
[00:24:26] of the kingdom, oil companies and airports.
[00:24:29] As seen on the map, the Ansar Allah missile traveled 900
[00:24:33] km. Experts note that the Houthis have enough resources
[00:24:37] for a long continuation of attacks. It all depends on
[00:24:40] the intensity of the attacks of the movements, that is, the Houthis,
[00:24:43] that is, how intensively they will carry them out, because,
[00:24:47] as I understand it, the Houthis are capable.
[00:25:01] from those parts that are supplied to them through various smuggling routes, and
[00:25:04] partly they can even produce them themselves,
[00:25:08] so their capabilities are quite
[00:25:11] large, they can last for years,
[00:25:15] neither the Americans nor the Saudis were able to destroy these
[00:25:18] secret...
[00:25:33] Islamabad supplied the kingdom with anti-aircraft missile
[00:25:36] systems, however, the parties adhere to an exclusively
[00:25:40] defensive position and stated that they would observe
[00:25:43] the defensive pact only on the territory of Saudi
[00:25:46] Arabia, but would not enter with their forces into...
[00:25:52] Pakistan expresses full solidarity with Saudi Arabia
[00:25:55] and firmly stands with its allies. Pakistan will not tolerate
[00:25:59] any form of aggression under any circumstances.
[00:26:03] Strikes on the Saudi capital could create an aviation
[00:26:06] collapse. Kuwait Airways canceled Sunday flights.
[00:26:10] In Riyadh, Indian airlines also adjusted their
[00:26:13] schedule. In general, this airport serves
[00:26:16] over 60 airlines,
[00:26:19] connecting Riyadh to more than 120
[00:26:22] destinations worldwide. All of this is now
[00:26:25] in question. Natalia Goncharova,
[00:26:28] Vesti. Russian citizens, according to preliminary
[00:26:32] data, are not among the victims
[00:26:35] of the bus accident in Turkey, this was reported by the embassy of our country in
[00:26:38] Ankara. The accident occurred today in the first half of the day in Manisa
[00:26:42] province, presumably, a tow truck drove into
[00:26:45] the oncoming lane and crashed into a bus. As a result, at least
[00:26:49] 11 people died, 27
[00:26:51] were injured.
[00:26:54] Today is the Day of Agricultural Workers and the Processing Industry in Russia. Vladimir
[00:26:57] Putin congratulated representatives of the industry. The President emphasized that even in
[00:27:01] difficult conditions, the domestic agro-industrial complex works with full dedication,
[00:27:04] thanks to which the country remains one of the world leaders in agriculture.
[00:27:08] одним из мировых лидеров в сельском хозяйстве.
[00:27:12] Thanks to your energy and dedication to your work,
[00:27:15] Russia firmly holds its position as one of the leading
[00:27:19] producers of agricultural products in
[00:27:21] the world. Even in the difficult current conditions,
[00:27:25] the domestic agro-industrial complex operates stably and
[00:27:29] steadily. You fulfill your tasks.
[00:27:41] Recently, large agricultural businesses, and especially
[00:27:44] medium-sized companies, and farms have had to
[00:27:47] face a number of difficulties. They are
[00:27:50] caused by sanctions, infrastructure and export
[00:27:54] barriers, rising costs.
[00:27:57] The state will certainly continue to provide the necessary
[00:28:01] assistance to farmers. We will involve ourselves in solving operational issues
[00:28:05] related to fuel, transportation, product
[00:28:08] sales, and the provision of seeding material. We will
[00:28:12] continue to systematically support
[00:28:15] the agricultural sector, which faces large-scale
[00:28:19] tasks. In Russian cities, balloons
[00:28:22] are raising nets into the sky to provide protection against Ukrainian
[00:28:25] drones. This method of air defense was used during
[00:28:29] the Great Patriotic War and even World War I. How
[00:28:33] to properly hang a steel web in the sky so that drones get entangled in it, see in
[00:28:37] Alexander Rogatkin's special report immediately after a short
[00:28:40] commercial.

[00:32:56] They say that everything new is just well-forgotten old.
[00:32:59] In Russia, to fight Ukrainian drones, they recall the experience
[00:33:02] of 1941, when the sky over the capital was protected
[00:33:06] from German bombers by barrage balloons,
[00:33:09] and, as they say, they coped well with this.
[00:33:13] 800
[00:34:33] kg. The distance between the cables can
[00:34:37] be increased or decreased. depending on the size of the
[00:34:40] target, even a pivicopter won't get through. The strength of the
[00:34:43] ropes will be enough to...
[00:35:15] system in action.
[00:35:19] How many such balloons are needed to cover the Kapotnya oil
[00:35:22] refinery? Well, to provide protection for such
[00:35:26] a large area, at least ten
[00:35:30] of these complexes will be needed, which will prevent
[00:35:33] the flight of unmanned vehicles. These aerostatic
[00:35:36] systems have been trying to be introduced into life by enthusiasts
[00:35:39] of aeronautics for about 30 years. They offered to use
[00:35:43] huge transport airships to send goods to Siberia,
[00:35:46] planned expeditions to the North Pole, and the resumption of
[00:35:50] cheap passenger flights to America. For
[00:35:53] the military, they developed aerostats that can
[00:35:56] lift radars into the stratosphere for several
[00:35:59] weeks. That is, Berizhable, according to
[00:36:02] our project, we have a patent,
[00:36:05] a Russian one for this solution, when we
[00:36:09] suspend a solar panel inside a transparent
[00:36:12] shell, but we only fly in the fields.
[00:36:28] here is the Gepard complex, which can be useful,
[00:36:31] but at the moment it is gathering dust, it
[00:36:35] can detect drones, can identify them,
[00:36:38] can suppress them, but at the moment
[00:36:41] it is not benefiting anyone. In the early 2000s,
[00:36:45] the Ministry of Defense showed interest in modern
[00:36:49] aerostats several times, high-ranking generals
[00:36:51] came to the tests, but no orders followed
[00:36:55] then. True, in those years no one... did not assume that
[00:36:58] drones would pose such a threat. Everything
[00:37:02] interested, there was a team to deal with this
[00:37:06] issue, and it's still standing in the closed
[00:37:09] hangar, just as it was. 20 years, 20
[00:37:13] years, nobody needs it, it turns out, it turns out, yes, and this
[00:37:16] is all, although now it would be on the front line, uh, this I
[00:37:20] believe would be good help to our
[00:37:23] soldiers, my son himself was mobilized to the SMO, he has been there
[00:37:27] for... the fifth year. For the sky radar, they even
[00:37:30] made a mobile mooring unit based on a
[00:37:33] Kamaz. Here is a cable with a diameter of 14
[00:37:37] mm, and through it,
[00:37:40] power is supplied to the onboard
[00:37:43] equipment, and also two strands of
[00:37:47] fiber-optic communication for collecting information. The volume of
[00:37:51] the shell is 1,200 cubic meters. This
[00:37:54] is the Gepard, an air trap for drones and...
[00:38:08] the rise of the entire barrier system, so that the ropes
[00:38:11] are directly in the path of the kamikaze
[00:38:13] drone. But there are not enough aerostats to
[00:38:17] cover all strategic objects in the required quantity
[00:38:21] yet. They need to be made urgently. It turned out
[00:38:24] that if the state does not participate, then...
[00:38:58] from 50 to 300 m, this
[00:39:02] shape, it allows to withstand atmospheric
[00:39:06] gusts that occur at this
[00:39:08] range of heights, which affects the
[00:39:12] load on the cable rope, on
[00:39:16] the structure itself, on the gondola suspension itself,
[00:39:19] so this is such an aerodynamic scheme, quite
[00:39:22] interesting, this aerostat can lift cable
[00:39:25] barriers, equipment.
[00:40:08] these were done on an initiative basis, they were not financed by the state, and in fact this is a high-tech approach of the garage military-industrial complex
[00:40:11] of Russia, because people bring
[00:40:14] very complex
[00:40:17] equipment with their own funds,
[00:40:20] they make the ground part, they make
[00:40:23] the aerostatic part, they modernize it for our
[00:40:25] operating conditions
[00:40:27] already since the end of the 1930s, the command of the Red Army understood that balloon barrages
[00:40:32] were not only effective, but could soon be useful. They
[00:40:36] were created for the country's own defense, and pilots
[00:40:39] were prepared for a possible encounter with such traps
[00:40:43] behind enemy lines. The balloon barrages,
[00:40:46] the directors of educational and artistic films did not limit
[00:40:50] their imagination. In the area of Zamsha square
[00:40:53] 73, in the network of electrified
[00:40:56] barrages, one scout died.
[00:40:59] They prepared, as it turned out, not in vain. Already at the beginning of the war, in
[00:41:03] the capital's sky, from 150 to 200
[00:41:07] barrage balloons were raised. Needless to say, they were not sewn at
[00:41:10] night in garages in a hurry by enthusiasts,
[00:41:13] volunteers. They were already in service with air
[00:41:16] defense units. One of the soldiers
[00:41:20] of the balloon squadron even wrote a poem: Moscow
[00:41:24] was on guard, which had these lines:
[00:41:27] With a triple ring of steel immature threads,
[00:41:30] the balloonists entangled Moscow. Above the capital
[00:41:34] constantly hung up to 1 million meters
[00:41:37] of steel cable. In his memoirs, the Chief of Staff
[00:41:41] of the barrage balloon division, Alexander
[00:41:43] Ostraumov, recalled that already in August 1941,
[00:41:47] in the Kharashovo area, a heavy
[00:41:50] bomber Heinkel-11, which
[00:41:53] caught its wing on a weighted cable, was destroyed with
[00:41:57] the help of a balloon. The fascist aircraft, after hitting the cable,
[00:42:01] according to observations from observation post A3, began to lose
[00:42:04] balance, tumble, and break into pieces in
[00:42:07] the air. The wreckage of the downed aircraft fell into
[00:42:10] the Moscow River near the Khoroshovsky village council at
[00:42:13] the church. The bodies of four German pilots with Iron
[00:42:17] Crosses were later found by divers. There is data from the
[00:42:20] Luftwaffe, they had planes missing,
[00:42:24] yes, that flew to Moscow, and some neighboring German
[00:42:28] crews reported that "Damn it, we hit that night
[00:42:31] cable again!" According to German data, they lost 12
[00:42:34] planes. In the archives, according to the advisor to the director of the Federal
[00:42:38] Security Service, there are records of a damaged
[00:42:41] barrage balloon falling directly
[00:42:43] on the Kremlin after a German raid. One of the air
[00:42:47] barrage balloons fell on the Kremlin.
[00:42:51] It fell between the Kutafya and Troitskaya towers. Did it fall by itself or as a result of
[00:42:54] a plane hitting it? A German plane hit it. The plane fell
[00:42:58] on Shvievaya Gorka, where the high-rise building on Kotelnicheskaya
[00:43:01] Embankment is now. And the aerostat crashed into Alexander's
[00:43:04] Gardens right opposite. So the plane that hit the
[00:43:08] aerostat fell there. The aerostat.
[00:43:13] To combat cable barrages, the Germans began to
[00:43:16] use paravanes, barrages with cutting
[00:43:19] edges, which were attached to the cockpit of the aircraft and the ends
[00:43:23] of the wings, but this did not help. Moreover,
[00:43:27] mines were often hung on the cables. The aerostat would
[00:43:29] lift the cable, a mine was attached to the
[00:43:33] cable, and when the plane flew into the cable,
[00:43:36] this cable link
[00:43:40] would detach at the end where there was no mine, a small parachute would
[00:43:43] open, and it would slow down that end, the cable,
[00:43:47] it would run along the leading edge of the wing
[00:43:51] of the plane and pull the
[00:43:54] mine towards the plane. That is, if such a mine reached the
[00:43:57] plane, the plane was definitely doomed.
[00:44:00] The effect of this was more psychological than
[00:44:02] practical. German pilots either completely
[00:44:05] refused to carry out their tasks, or climbed so
[00:44:09] high... that accurate bombing from there was
[00:44:12] impossible. At the same time, of course, accuracy
[00:44:14] was lost. Uh, planes
[00:44:18] were more vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire, that
[00:44:21] is, they remained longer in the range of
[00:44:25] anti-aircraft batteries. That is, the balloon
[00:44:28] barrages worked in conjunction
[00:44:32] with anti-aircraft batteries, and these
[00:44:34] two means mutually increased each other's
[00:44:38] effectiveness. After the war...
[00:44:49] a huge number of tethered
[00:44:51] aerostat complexes were made
[00:44:55] for reconnaissance and for fighting
[00:44:58] low-flying vehicles.
[00:45:01] All of this turned out to be useless, that is, they are stored
[00:45:04] in certain storage
[00:45:07] warehouses. But few
[00:45:10] of the leadership
[00:45:13] know that all this exists, and it can all be launched
[00:45:16] within 2-3 months, with
[00:45:20] political will and
[00:45:24] minimal funding. The other thing is
[00:45:26] that the shells of those military Soviet aerostats were
[00:45:30] made of rubberized heavy material, and they might not
[00:45:33] have survived to our days, but all this was available and
[00:45:37] should have withstood even more than plastic. The thing
[00:45:40] is, it will penetrate the net,
[00:45:52] but the point is that your autopilot breaks, because
[00:45:56] you have an impact, and
[00:45:59] part of the control surfaces break, the wings,
[00:46:03] well, the wings break, that's it, it won't fly further, it will just
[00:46:06] go into an uncontrolled flight, eventually a Soviet aerostat.
[00:46:41] The first attempt to shoot down cruise missiles in this
[00:46:45] way occurred in Yugoslavia in 1999.
[00:46:49] Aerostats were not used there, cars were used.
[00:46:57] they were placed along the river valleys and between these
[00:47:00] cranes they stretched, well,
[00:47:03] simply a metal net made of
[00:47:06] a thin steel cable,
[00:47:09] and in general, several cruise missiles were
[00:47:13] shot down. After the bombings of Yugoslavia, Russian
[00:47:16] military once again became interested in cable
[00:47:19] barriers. At the turn of the century, commissioned by the Ministry of Defense,
[00:47:23] they developed an aerostat system against cruise missiles
[00:47:26] based on modern materials and technologies.
[00:47:30] They tested the barrier at a test site with a mockup of a Soviet
[00:47:33] cruise missile installed on a railway
[00:47:36] trolley. Well, they accelerated
[00:47:40] the entire trolley with a rocket booster, then the trolley
[00:47:44] braked, and the mockup came off it and flew by
[00:47:47] inertia, that is, a big gunpowder
[00:47:51] slingshot.
[00:48:22] a knife passes through a slice of butter,
[00:48:26] but in reality it turned out not to be quite so. The butter
[00:48:30] also showed itself, but
[00:48:32] the knife suddenly broke. Well, it all
[00:48:36] ended in nothing. The project was somehow classified
[00:48:39] and put on the shelf, and the saddest thing
[00:48:43] is that in Russia we
[00:48:45] don't produce aerostat fabrics, that is,
[00:48:49] what is being built now is imported material,
[00:48:53] it's China, Taiwan, Korea and other countries. Unfortunately,
[00:48:56] the Dolgoprudny Design Bureau of Automatics was responsible
[00:48:59] for this. They conducted
[00:49:02] research work many times, but
[00:49:05] there is no mass production of aerostat
[00:49:09] fabrics. On one refueling,
[00:49:12] aerostats can spend several days in the
[00:49:15] air, then they just need to be released for
[00:49:19] gas top-up. Yes, the weather was difficult, there
[00:49:22] was heavy rain, so it needs to be
[00:49:26] replenished. Modern aerostats are usually filled with helium,
[00:49:29] a volatile and safe gas. The era of hydrogen airships
[00:49:33] ended back in 1937
[00:49:36] after the crash of the Zeppelin Hindenburg.
[00:49:39] The air giant, 245 meters long,
[00:49:42] made a transatlantic flight from Germany to
[00:49:46] the USA. And during mooring, 200,000
[00:49:49] cubic meters of gas flared up like a candle.
[00:49:52] Under the wreckage of the Hindenburg in hellish flames,
[00:49:56] 36
[00:49:57] people died.
[00:50:03] But the helium that replaced hydrogen is an expensive and scarce
[00:50:06] gas. Therefore, the developers of the barrier system decided
[00:50:10] to fill their aerostats with so-called
[00:50:13] phlegmatized hydrogen, a gas with added special
[00:50:17] additives. The advantage of this hydrogen is that, first, it
[00:50:21] is, of course, the price, and... when fueling,
[00:50:24] and the lifting force, according to calculations, will even
[00:50:28] be higher than that of helium, by about five or 7%,
[00:50:31] but for large apparatuses, this plays a significant role in lifting,
[00:50:35] in gaining lifting force. That's it, fueling begins,
[00:50:38] supply hydrogen.
[00:50:41] The main advantage of this phlegmatized hydrogen mixture is that it is not
[00:50:45] flammable or
[00:50:45] explosive.
[00:50:49] So, can you shoot down this aerostat with a machine gun?
[00:50:53] It's very difficult to do, that is, if bullets hit
[00:50:56] it, the shell will simply be pierced through and through,
[00:50:59] and hydrogen will slowly escape from it, that is,
[00:51:03] it will not ignite, it will not explode. So,
[00:51:06] it will continue to hang until it loses, so to speak, its
[00:51:10] positive buoyancy in the air. But if a kamikaze
[00:51:14] drone crashes into it and explodes there, for example,
[00:51:17] with 20 kg of explosives,
[00:51:20] then the hole will be larger. the shell will tear, all the gas
[00:51:24] will escape from it very quickly, and accordingly, it
[00:51:27] will fall. At the same time, it is possible to patch the
[00:51:30] aerostat shell directly in the field. Also,
[00:51:33] hydrogen is produced on site in a mobile
[00:51:37] truck installation. Water for electrolysis can be taken even from
[00:51:40] a nearby river. The cost of producing hydrogen on site,
[00:51:44] excluding capital expenditures for the installation, will be
[00:51:48] approximately 45-50 rubles per cubic
[00:51:51] meter. The cost of helium is many times more, that is,
[00:51:55] well, tens of times more.
[00:51:58] To lift an aerostat barrier system with
[00:52:01] phlegmatized hydrogen costs approximately eight
[00:52:05] thousand rubles, and 300,000 with helium. The difference
[00:52:09] is significant.
[00:52:12] Aerostat systems can be placed on any transport
[00:52:15] vehicles, on pickups, on quad bikes, on special
[00:52:19] all-terrain vehicles. Anywhere, with a small
[00:52:22] cylinder, we can inflate this aerostat, lift
[00:52:26] the necessary payload to the required height,
[00:52:30] and all this is very fast and efficient, deploy it and
[00:52:33] then change it.
[00:53:07] but for now, the hydrogen revolution starts with aerostats and
[00:53:11] heavy hexacopters. Fuel cells that
[00:53:14] convert hydrogen into electricity of domestic
[00:53:17] production,
[00:53:20] they are almost four times more efficient than imported
[00:53:23] lithium batteries. How far can it go? It all
[00:53:27] depends, of course, on the wind speed and the task. Well,
[00:53:30] I think it can easily fly 200
[00:53:33] km.
[00:53:36] After refueling, the aerostats are checked for gas
[00:53:39] leaks. Six particles per million is a very good
[00:53:42] indicator, almost hermetically sealed, carefully.
[00:53:45] We begin. That's it, the
[00:53:48] refueling process is complete.
[00:53:51] With the umbilical cords pulled tighter, the aerostats
[00:53:55] are once again rolled out of the hangars for testing. Of course, they
[00:53:58] remembered these aerial barriers not because
[00:54:02] the country had exhausted all means of defense
[00:54:05] against Ukrainian drones. On the contrary, there are
[00:54:09] plenty of various proposals and methods. Recently,
[00:54:12] we showed how super modern combat
[00:54:15] laser systems burn enemy firepoints
[00:54:18] in the sky. There is a line of very effective
[00:54:21] kamikaze drones that shoot down drones with no
[00:54:25] less success. Selflessly repel
[00:54:28] air attacks, mobile groups of machine gunners,
[00:54:32] operators of artillery anti-aircraft installations.
[00:54:36] And missile systems like Pantsir are being produced
[00:54:39] more and more
[00:54:41] every month.
[00:54:44] Now all this is simply proposed to be combined with
[00:54:47] aerostat protection of the last
[00:54:49] meter.
[00:54:52] It certainly won't get any worse from this.
[00:58:21] Ukrainian military facilities in Odesa, Chornomorsk,
[00:58:25] Kremenchuk and Kyiv region came under fire. Meanwhile, Russian troops continue
[00:58:28] their offensive in several directions of the front. Details and footage
[00:58:32] of combat operations in Igor
[00:58:33] Pikhanov's report.
[00:58:41] Throughout the past night, missiles and reactive drones burned
[00:58:44] military facilities across Ukraine. Also hit were
[00:58:47] enterprises working for
[00:58:49] the AFU.
[00:58:52] The Ministry of Defense reported that in Odesa, a data center used
[00:58:55] by militants to collect information was destroyed. In the port of Chornomorsk,
[00:58:59] a vessel carrying cargo for the AFU was hit, and
[00:59:03] the port
[00:59:03] infrastructure was damaged.
[00:59:07] In Kremenchuk, a thermal power plant was hit, and in Kyiv and its surroundings, electrical
[00:59:11] substations were destroyed. This will hinder the repair of drone
[00:59:14] assembly factories. In order to save its defense industry, the Kyiv regime
[00:59:18] moved production to residential areas, people became a human
[00:59:21] shield for the militants. I'll tell you, they just hit
[00:59:25] the bomb shelter, imagine, they hit it
[00:59:28] again.
[00:59:30] Settlements, ammunition is stored, two, how many
[00:59:34] fly, that's it. Unwilling to stop the war, the Ukrainian authorities
[00:59:37] are preparing the population for a harsh winter without light, heat, and water, with electricity
[00:59:41] outages across the country. In Kyiv, the subway and sewage
[00:59:45] system periodically do not work. Experts say that colossal
[00:59:48] funds were allocated to prepare cities for winter, but they
[00:59:52] were embezzled. Plan B, plan C. We predict that
[00:59:56] there will be no light and heat. We need to use plan B.
[00:59:59] Relocation. Utilities were not ready, they did nothing.
[01:00:02] Meanwhile, Russian military are advancing on all
[01:00:06] fronts. In the Kharkiv region, units of the Northern
[01:00:10] group of forces liberated two settlements at once: the villages
[01:00:13] of Reznikovo and Kupino. Near Volchansk, the enemy was encircled.
[01:00:16] It is being destroyed. Daily,
[01:00:19] the enemy loses several hundred people. Those Ukrainian
[01:00:23] soldiers who lay down their weapons are guaranteed safety and
[01:00:26] dignified treatment. Guys, those
[01:00:30] on positions, lay down your weapons and surrender
[01:00:33] to captivity, so that it all ends
[01:00:36] as soon as possible, or flee to
[01:00:40] the SZCh. Fighters of the Center group of forces are liberating Donbass.
[01:00:43] The unit took two more villages in the DPR, Novotroitsk.
[01:00:47] and Petrovskoye. The battle is underway for Dobropolye, assault
[01:00:51] units are taking street after street, AFU positions
[01:00:54] are being destroyed by drones, artillery,
[01:00:57] and aviation.
[01:00:59] Fighters of the Southern Group are defeating the enemy in Slavyansk.
