[00:00:37] Jumping out of cars to escape drone attack. Southern fighters [00:00:41] burn enemy pickups near Kramatorsk, and [00:00:45] the Vostok and Dnepr groups surround Orekhov. On the outskirts [00:00:48] of the city, there are already [00:00:49] battles. [00:00:55] The Tosochka crew does not stand on ceremony with the enemy near [00:00:58] Dobropolye. It destroys deep [00:01:01] concrete fortifications of the enemy. Suspicion to the head [00:01:04] of NABU, Krivonos, the fugitive Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Kravchenko, [00:01:08] were deprived of legal meaning. There were no legal [00:01:11] grounds for this, they said in the Prosecutor General's Office of the country. [00:01:14] In Buryatia, technical schools and schools are closing due to bears. Children [00:01:17] are being transferred to distance learning. [00:01:20] This is a bear, [00:01:23] a bear ran out there. [00:01:27] The Dnepr group advanced to [00:01:34] Orekhov from the west after the liberation of Novoandreyevka. [00:01:38] The village is located only 4 km from the outskirts of the city. [00:01:41] Orekhov is a key hub of the Armed Forces of Ukraine's defense in the Zaporozhye [00:01:45] region. Now our units are advancing from [00:01:48] several directions at once. Earlier, the Dnepr and Vostok groups [00:01:52] occupied Novopavlovka and Chervona Krynitsa. [00:01:55] Now Russian troops have approached the city. From the western side, all [00:01:59] key routes are under our control. Battles are going on in the eastern [00:02:02] part of Orekhov itself. At the same time, Russian units are advancing in [00:02:06] the area of Preobrazhenka on the northwestern outskirts [00:02:09] of the city. Pressure on enemy positions in this direction [00:02:12] is also being increased by Novorossiysk paratroopers. Operators of attack [00:02:16] drones are working deep inside the Armed Forces of Ukraine's defense. [00:02:19] So, in one sortie, they destroyed four [00:02:22] observation posts, several ground robotic [00:02:25] platforms and enemy manpower. And these are footage [00:02:29] of the work of the Dnepr drone systems crews from [00:02:32] the Kherson region. Here, operators have destroyed [00:02:35] several dozen heavy drones [00:02:38] over the summer. Baba [00:02:41] Yaga. [00:02:43] Concrete and deep fortifications are the target for the heavy flamethrower [00:02:46] system Tos-2 or Tosochka, as the military [00:02:50] calls it. Now it is destroying enemy strongholds in [00:02:53] the Dobropolye direction. Although the machine is designed to [00:02:57] work on large areas, the group's fighters have learned [00:03:00] to strike precisely. Is there a chance for the enemy to [00:03:04] escape after a Tos strike? Military correspondent Varvara Schrader [00:03:07] observed its [00:03:08] work. [00:03:14] Dawn in the Dobropolye direction. Another morning [00:03:17] in the strongholds of Ukrainian militants begins with a fiery [00:03:21] volley from our [00:03:22] Tos. [00:03:26] Tos-2 is not used for destroying ordinary [00:03:28] targets. The system effectively copes with the best [00:03:32] enemy fortifications, deep field [00:03:35] fortified areas, concrete strongholds or basements [00:03:38] of houses. The type of ammunition plays a key role. Due to [00:03:42] the highest temperature, the power of the blast wave and excessive [00:03:46] pressure, thermobaric shells leave no chance for [00:03:49] the enemy's manpower to escape. This machine is [00:03:53] area-based, but we learned [00:03:56] to shoot more accurately, more [00:04:00] precisely. Information about the distance to the target, at which [00:04:04] Tos crews usually operate, cannot be disclosed, but [00:04:07] the fighters perform tasks in the most difficult conditions. The situation [00:04:11] in the sky on the routes of the flamethrower system is difficult. [00:04:13] The technical characteristics of the machine greatly help. [00:04:16] The wheeled Tos is not only fast, but also practically [00:04:20] silent. This machine can develop greater [00:04:23] speed on the march than tracked [00:04:26] vehicles, i.e., about 80-90. [00:04:31] When making a march, this is mobility that will save exit time, travel time, [00:04:35] and accordingly, spend less [00:04:39] time on the route. Despite its mobility, [00:04:42] Tos-2 is a large-sized system. It is easy [00:04:45] to see it from the air with enemy reconnaissance. Therefore, a cover [00:04:48] group goes to the firing position in advance, which controls [00:04:52] the situation in the work area, and the machine itself is covered [00:04:55] at all stages by another mobile fire [00:04:58] group. He left. [00:05:06] And if it flies into a loaded one, then [00:05:09] of course, you exhale when you've already arrived, you've already... [00:05:13] finished your work, you've stood, you've already come home, then everything is done, [00:05:17] to feel more confident while moving, first each new [00:05:20] route is checked and reconnoitered. Fighters find [00:05:24] alternate positions and shelters in advance. During the movement [00:05:27] of the Tos, control of the situation in the sky is the responsibility of the cover groups. [00:05:31] The driver can then concentrate on the road, which can often [00:05:35] be mined. After 5 minutes they flew. We [00:05:39] have a fire cover group that will tell us... [00:06:12] enemy positions, leaving the enemy without cover, strongholds [00:06:16] and clearing the way for the assault troops of the Central [00:06:19] Group of Forces, which continue to advance towards Dobropolye. Our fighters [00:06:23] are pressing the enemy's defenses from several directions at once, [00:06:26] systematically encircling the enemy group in the city, cutting [00:06:30] off logistics and depriving Ukrainian militants of supplies in their [00:06:33] main fortified area. Only recently, our troops [00:06:37] liberated Novogrishino and Vesyoloe, thereby opening [00:06:40] another direction for... [00:07:12] Well, each missile number can be launched separately, [00:07:16] as it [00:07:18] were, self-guiding, [00:07:20] such a smart machine. The automation of the system, a large [00:07:24] amount of electronics in the Tos, allows the crew to work [00:07:28] faster, more accurately and accordingly, safer. Before [00:07:31] going to the firing position, the system is already pre- [00:07:34] oriented. The fighters only need to get to the point and open [00:07:38] fire at the coordinates of another Ukrainian target. [00:07:41] Varvara. Rader, Igor Zavidey, Natalya Ushakova, Dobropolye [00:07:45] direction, Zvezda TV channel. [00:07:49] Russian troops launched group drone strikes last night on [00:07:53] warehouses and ports in Ukraine, as well as naval vessels that [00:07:56] are involved in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result, in the Odessa [00:07:59] region, a logistics center in the village of Velikaya [00:08:03] Balka, where military cargoes from abroad were stored and distributed, [00:08:07] was hit. In the port of Chernomorsk, our troops struck a dry cargo [00:08:10] ferry. In addition, in the western regions of Ukraine, [00:08:14] railway infrastructure facilities that were used [00:08:17] to transport military goods from European countries [00:08:21] were hit. Also in Odessa, warehouses of the interservice [00:08:24] military academy were hit. In the village [00:08:28] of Veliky Burluk in the Kharkiv region, [00:08:31] weapons warehouses, drones and [00:08:34] components for them were destroyed. [00:08:38] The Chelyabinsk Higher Military School of Navigators has received the latest [00:08:42] flight simulators. For the first time, cadets, participants of the SVO, [00:08:46] for example, the Il-76 simulator, a transport [00:08:49] cabin, one to one, full [00:08:52] immersion, a report by Anatoly Borodkin. [00:08:56] We control the inclusion, you [00:08:59] have it, I start in stages, speed 200, [00:09:02] you dictate, speed 200, [00:09:06] 300, 10, [00:09:09] 34, first take-off, [00:09:12] virtual, but in the language of film lovers, the effect [00:09:16] of presence is one hundred percent. The modern simulator of the fighter-bomber [00:09:19] cockpit illustrates the take-off from the runway, [00:09:23] meticulously reproduces the airspace, numerous [00:09:26] terrain features, but the main thing in this training unit, [00:09:30] emphasize the mentors of future military navigators, [00:09:33] is the scrupulous accuracy of the arrangement on the panels, instruments, nodes, [00:09:37] sensors, screens, control monitoring systems... [00:09:40] I confirm, and this is already [00:09:50] a simulator of a modernized supersonic interceptor. [00:09:53] The cadet is in the navigator's seat, the instructor is in front in the [00:09:57] commander's seat. The program loaded into the interactive MiG-31 [00:10:01] simulator today is a training flight. In general, [00:10:04] the base of simulators, trainers, interactive complexes, [00:10:08] multimedia programs in the Chelyabinsk Higher Military School [00:10:11] of Navigators covers all main types of military aviation [00:10:14] equipment. This is one of the novelties of the material and technical base [00:10:18] of the Chelyabinsk School of Navigators. The cockpit of the [00:10:21] Il-76 transport aircraft. It is identical to a real aircraft. Here, among the aggregates, [00:10:25] in particular, there is a radar station, part of the autopilot [00:10:28] control system, a landing control panel, a night [00:10:31] sight, but this is only part of a large complex, in particular, [00:10:35] these three cabinets are the brain [00:10:38] of the entire system. Several [00:10:42] dozen flight development scenarios are loaded here. [00:10:45] Well, this is the place of the crew commander, who in this case [00:10:48] acts as an instructor. He also gives assignments and [00:10:52] sets tasks for the cadet [00:10:55] in the cockpit. At our request, on the day of filming, the command [00:10:58] of the Chelyabinsk School allowed SVO veteran cadets [00:11:02] to work on the simulators first. There are many such cadets [00:11:05] in the university, at different courses, from different SVO directions, with [00:11:09] different military specialties. Young front-line soldiers annually [00:11:12] enroll in the unique training center. Give [00:11:15] the command that you are ready for takeoff. Course agreed, ready for storm takeoff. [00:11:19] Commands, press [00:11:22] the key. Course. Agreed, ready for takeoff, [00:11:26] the beginning of the new academic year, the first [00:11:29] flight on the new virtual transport aircraft, cadet Ivan [00:11:32] Fomichev, under the supervision of the instructor, flies his [00:11:35] seventy-sixth along the given air trajectory. Candidate [00:11:39] of Pedagogical Sciences, Associate Professor Vladimir Bykov explains to us [00:11:42] the degree of immersion in the real work process, which he, together [00:11:46] with his colleagues, is developing for future [00:11:49] navigators. The navigator is already prepared to [00:11:52] work with the crew. with the commander, with [00:11:56] the ground, and so on. He is already leading and [00:11:59] moreover, there is also an assessment, an assessment [00:12:03] is made of the work with the intercom. So, how [00:12:06] you talk to the commander, what phrases, and so on, all this [00:12:09] is evaluated in real time. He has been in the [00:12:13] special operation from the first days, with military, state, [00:12:16] and departmental awards on his chest. He admits [00:12:20] that he dreamed of the sky, but did not dare to enter a military [00:12:23] university, starting... speaking from a mechanic driver [00:12:27] and was a technician in the squadron and in [00:12:30] aviation was a technician. His last [00:12:33] place of service in the Aerospace Forces [00:12:36] was in the signal [00:12:39] company. He was a signalman and accordingly, when [00:12:43] I was called up for the SVO, I was the commander of the signal [00:12:47] squad. These joint training flights of navigator cadets and [00:12:50] pilot cadets will allow the guys not only. the crew [00:12:54] and its cohesion. [00:13:05] Anatoly, Vladislav Kolupaev and Sergey Fedorieev, Zvezda TV channel. [00:13:08] Chelyabinsk. [00:13:12] The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine denied filing charges [00:13:15] against NABU head Semyon Krivonos. They explained that there were no legal [00:13:19] grounds for this, and the procedure itself [00:13:22] was conducted incorrectly. The Prosecutor General Ruslan [00:13:26] Kravchenko, who resigned yesterday [00:13:30] and fled the country, announced the suspicion against Krivonos [00:13:33] for forging documents with the aim of obtaining financial gain. And before that, in [00:13:36] the case of fraudulent call centers, law enforcement officers detained his [00:13:40] subordinate Sergey Kropiva. And with that, the personnel [00:13:43] purge in Ukraine did not end. It became known that the government [00:13:47] terminated the powers of the acting head of the tax [00:13:50] service, Lesya Karnaokh. She headed the department after Kravchenko [00:13:55] moved to the Prosecutor General's Office. [00:13:59] A supertanker that tried to cross the Strait of Hormuz [00:14:02] without Iranian approval was blown up by a mine. This was reported [00:14:06] by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The IRGC emphasized that the naval [00:14:09] blockade continues and the strait remains under Tehran's [00:14:12] control. The US denies this statement. According [00:14:16] to the Central Command of the US Armed Forces, the oil tanker under [00:14:19] the Panamanian flag is currently being towed by a regional partner, although [00:14:23] the American military admits that the vessel was damaged, [00:14:27] first after a missile strike, and then by a drone. Meanwhile, [00:14:30] Great Britain could be drawn into the conflict in the Middle East. [00:14:33] Saudi Arabia is asking the British for military assistance, [00:14:37] Bloomberg writes. Prime Minister Burnham is still in thought and has not [00:14:40] given an answer. Riyadh turned to London after the Houthis [00:14:44] blocked traffic in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, as well as [00:14:47] after damage to the East-West oil pipeline in Saudi [00:14:50] Arabia. Its operation is now stopped, which led to a sharp [00:14:54] collapse of supplies and a jump in world oil prices. One [00:14:57] barrel is already trading at $108. The Houthis themselves [00:15:01] are being fought in Yemen by government forces, [00:15:04] supported by Saudi Arabia, who have launched [00:15:07] a counteroffensive. They are hitting rebel positions with aviation and drones, [00:15:10] but have not yet managed to dislodge them. [00:15:14] удаётся. [00:15:16] And even more news on Max channel Zvezda News.

I bid you farewell, I wish you a good day, [00:15:27] stay with us on Zvezda TV channel, right [00:15:30] now, open [00:15:31] broadcast! [00:16:05] Drones of the Central Group of Forces destroyed a disguised command post [00:16:09] of enemy drones in the Dobropolye direction. And tonight [00:16:13] the Armed Forces of Russia carried out group drone strikes [00:16:16] on logistical centers and ports of Ukraine, as well as naval [00:16:20] vessels involved in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We will discuss [00:16:24] the situation in the zone of the special operation in detail a little later [00:16:27] today. You are watching Open Broadcast with Victoria Fedosova and [00:16:31] Nikolai Matveev in the studio. We move on to the general picture, and it is as follows. The BRICS [00:16:35] summit, which ended in New Delhi, has been on the front pages of leading [00:16:38] world publications all these days, and the nature of the materials in the Western press [00:16:42] comes down to roughly one thing: the growing influence of the BRICS bloc leads to [00:16:45] the emergence of a multipolar world, where the West [00:16:48] has no place at all, or is assigned a very modest role. Well, [00:16:52] for example, a New York Times journalist notes that BRICS gives its [00:16:55] participants what Washington is now deprived of, direct contact with [00:16:59] key players in the energy market, bypassing Western [00:17:03] institutions. Quote extended: the BRICS summit was conceived [00:17:06] to show what global leadership looks like when there are no Western [00:17:10] representatives in the room. As the confrontation in the Middle [00:17:14] East drives up world energy prices, the meeting in [00:17:18] New Delhi gave the leaders of China, India, Russia, and a number of other countries [00:17:21] what Washington lacks, a seat at the same table with [00:17:25] Iran. End of quote. Bloomberg focuses on [00:17:28] the transformation of BRICS from an abstract term into a powerful [00:17:31] economic counterweight to the US, which accounts for about [00:17:35] a quarter of the world's nominal. [00:18:14] By the way, French observers emphasize that for Paris and Brussels [00:18:17] such a growth of BRICS is an alarming signal of loss of control over [00:18:21] developing economies. Let us remind you that the BRICS summit in [00:18:24] New Delhi ended with a declaration on a multipolar world of 140 [00:18:28] points. The main point of the document was the condemnation of [00:18:31] unilateral sanctions that contradict international law and the UN [00:18:34] Charter. Participants also expressed concern [00:18:38] about the growing nuclear risks and called for [00:18:41] a reform of the UN Security Council at the expense of the countries of the global [00:18:45] South. Speaking at the BRICS Plus forum, Vladimir Putin [00:18:49] emphasized that intra-trade within the association has already reached [00:18:52] 1.2 trillion dollars. Member countries account for almost a quarter [00:18:56] of global exports. It is BRICS that provides the main [00:18:59] dynamics of world GDP, 49%. And at the same time, [00:19:03] the potential for further development of BRICS is far from exhausted. Let's [00:19:07] watch. A fragment: today's meeting [00:19:09] confirms that attention to BRICS activities [00:19:13] from the international community continues [00:19:16] to grow. For many in the world, [00:19:19] our basic values and [00:19:22] ideals are attractive, such as [00:19:25] adherence to an independent and self-reliant course, [00:19:29] a desire for collegial problem-solving [00:19:33] based on international law and the key provisions [00:19:36] of the UN Charter. [00:19:39] The BRICS association has always advocated and advocates for [00:19:42] all countries without exception to have equal [00:19:46] and unlimited opportunities [00:19:49] for progressive, balanced economic and [00:19:53] social growth to ensure the well-being [00:19:56] of the population, and at the same time to be able to preserve unique [00:20:00] national cultures and traditions, [00:20:03] to adhere to their own sovereign development [00:20:06] models. All our guests closely followed the BRICS summit [00:20:10] in New Delhi, but as you know, the starting point in our program [00:20:14] is a specific journalistic material, with Alexey Mukhin. Alexey, applause [00:20:17] for you, we invite you to the center, attention to [00:20:19] the screen. [00:20:22] The past BRICS summit, coupled with the past SCO summit and [00:20:25] the upcoming CSTO summit, are another concrete step in [00:20:28] creating an alternative economic reality, [00:20:32] a small step for each individual country, but a big leap for [00:20:35] all together. By the way, all steps, financial, investment, [00:20:39] service, have already been taken and are working in normal mode, [00:20:42] gaining pace and volume. We can say that in [00:20:46] terms of content, all this is a comprehensive institutional anti-sanction. [00:21:20] his personal guide at the Russian stands of the Innoprom [00:21:23] exhibition in India. The President of Russia held a whole marathon [00:21:26] of bilateral meetings. He met with the President of South Africa, [00:21:30] the President of Egypt, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, the Prime Minister [00:21:33] of Ethiopia, the Crown Prince of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the head [00:21:36] of the New Development Bank. The topic of so-called isolation [00:21:40] is generally finally closed. By the way, [00:21:43] European propaganda tried to capitalize on the fact that Putin did not meet with [00:21:47] Xi Jinping tete-a-tete, but here not... [00:21:57] They talked in a trio with Modi, and then at a reception on their feet. It seemed that the BRICS countries aimed to smooth over the open rudeness of the Europeans, who distinguished themselves by their brazen [00:22:00] behavior at the G20 summit in the USA. One could say that the goal [00:22:03] was achieved. Ukraine was hardly mentioned at the BRICS [00:22:07] summit. Instead, they discussed the prospect of UN reform. [00:22:11] It is proposed to increase the representation of countries [00:22:14] from Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean [00:22:18] in the organization. [00:22:21] Alexey, our president and other leaders of BRICS countries and other [00:22:24] associations in our Eurasian space have repeatedly said that we are not [00:22:27] creating alliances against anyone. These are principles of mutual respect, [00:22:31] but the hysteria, as we see from the Western press, these headlines, what [00:22:35] is the reason for the shaking, after all, why is the Russian threat being inflated [00:22:39] and how are they not afraid to harm themselves by pushing away [00:22:42] other countries of the global South? This is a clash of two [00:22:46] systems. The first system is a club system. The West [00:22:49] creates... by creating such systems, it prefers to make it so that it is [00:22:53] impossible to get into them. It is closed, with an interesting [00:22:56] view, they pretend that something interesting is happening there, but we [00:23:00] have looked, and there is Epstein, right? [00:23:03] That's right off the tip of my tongue, and sometimes they try to take [00:23:07] shirtless photos, to show [00:23:10] Putin that they are cooler, but inside, in fact, [00:23:14] rather trivial things are discussed, which have nothing to do with [00:23:17] global development, generally with development. [00:24:00] where there are already a dozen countries plus 20 in line, what does this mean, it means that it is not only the global south, it is also [00:24:04] the resourceful north, the combination of these two [00:24:07] magnitudes gives a wonderful synergistic effect, which completely [00:24:11] overshadows not only the United States, usually Bloomberg measures [00:24:14] the United States against, guys, come [00:24:18] on, no agreement. [00:25:37] about the material, please, you read foreign and Western press, in particular, [00:25:41] how it reacts, there was a slight, unpleasant aftertaste, [00:25:45] no longer, no longer, why, because not wait, wait, [00:25:48] was there, was there? [00:26:02] India and China will not be able to agree on a single platform, and so on, so, well, [00:26:06] now now [00:26:09] the situation I diligently read year after year and [00:26:12] think, what makes me so confused immediately reminds me of their [00:26:15] publications, weak people discuss people, strong ideas, they stopped [00:26:19] discussing ideas, they are not interested in the thoughts expressed at [00:26:22] the round table, they discuss people, Putin, [00:26:26] Xi Jinping, Modi, they discuss those [00:26:29] who arrived, left, how they behaved, where they went, they... [00:27:14] but not in the electronic version, we were taught to develop our [00:27:17] vision of the world through real analytics, when you [00:27:21] open the same guys who were chased on the first, second year [00:27:24] of journalism faculty, saying write like that, you open it, and there is [00:27:28] emptiness, this emptiness confuses me, that... [00:27:32] to read nothing new, it is clear that a person grows, a person [00:27:35] develops, themes circulate, something new [00:27:39] discovers itself for quite difficult, but where are the insights, you are [00:27:41] journalists, where are your unnamed [00:27:44] sources, where, after all, is the analysis with [00:27:48] empirics, with a background from ancient [00:27:51] times, start, there is nothing like that, it's not interesting to read, not [00:27:54] tasty, not satisfying, don't say, the whole moment connected with Iran, for example, [00:27:58] in particular, it was said that the United Arab Emirates very harshly raised the question of [00:28:02] Iran's participation and the presence there of the country's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, but nevertheless, [00:28:06] the Russian-Chinese factor resolved this whole situation so [00:28:09] that overall the parties would come to some compromise, and BRICS differs from [00:28:13] Western propaganda platforms in that BRICS at least [00:28:16] forms a dialogue, unlike the West, which only complicates [00:28:20] the situation. Natalia, Farhad mentioned the contradiction between [00:28:24] India and China, which is gradually being [00:28:27] overcome. What are the stumbling blocks within BRICS and how have [00:28:31] they been dealt with all these years? Russia [00:29:18] here advocates for institutionalization, and India supported it, and so [00:29:22] the creation of a troika at this summit, when [00:29:25] the former presiding country, the current [00:29:28] and future ones work together, this is like the OSCE also has such a mechanism, this means. [00:30:02] system of economic reality, where there is no place [00:30:05] for Western countries, this is what bothers them, this is why they hiss, but [00:30:09] they can't do anything, because it's without them. Alexey, in one of our previous broadcasts, [00:30:13] we discussed the SCO, you talked about the results, that the SCO was [00:30:16] indeed a breakthrough in BRICS, is there any point in the final declaration [00:30:20] that struck you, this is the next step, I characterized it together, this is [00:30:24] a jump further into the future, and the most [00:30:26] interesting thing is that, remember, someone jokingly suggested, let's call [00:30:30] the American president, everyone was like, no, well...
