[00:00:30] some units, [00:00:32] the unit that is banned in our country, this is, [00:00:36] in fact, Azov, the destruction of this entire [00:00:39] group will allow our troops to advance by [00:00:42] 15-20 km, and in reality, we will reach the outskirts of [00:00:46] Kharkiv and Chuguevka, in fact, we will already be able [00:00:49] to threaten the Kupyansky defense line, [00:00:52] drive the enemy out from there and threaten logistical [00:00:56] centers that lead to Kharkiv. [00:01:01] A woman with a small son, soldiers of the eleventh army corps Severyan evacuated from the [00:01:05] liberated territory. Olga says that nationalists did not allow [00:01:08] the family to leave by car to Russian territory, as her [00:01:11] husband was killed by a drone strike, the child [00:01:14] had to be hidden in the basement so that he would not be taken away. I hid [00:01:17] the child, my child, one year and 7 months old, did not leave the house, [00:01:21] hiding, [00:01:24] so that no one would see him, everyone is waiting for you, hoping, praying to God, [00:01:28] that you would come quickly and disperse. that government, the nation. A significant number of [00:01:32] civilians remain in the combat zone, whom [00:01:35] the nationalists are actually using as human shields. It is necessary [00:01:38] to act with extreme caution. Our [00:01:41] soldiers try to evacuate civilians at the first opportunity, sometimes under [00:01:45] enemy fire, risking their own lives. Pavel [00:01:48] Konkov, especially for the program "Serving [00:01:50] Russia." Our artillerymen emerged [00:01:54] victorious in a duel of rocket artillery on the Kharkiv [00:01:57] direction. Tornado crew of the Guards Brigade. Group West [00:02:00] destroyed the launcher of the Haiers [00:02:03] multiple launch rocket system. The target in the forest belt was found [00:02:06] by a reconnaissance drone, coordinates were transmitted to the [00:02:08] division's command post. The multiple launch rocket system within [00:02:12] a few minutes raced to the area of the combat mission, [00:02:16] the artillerymen moved the launcher from the marching position to the combat position, aimed [00:02:19] the gun at the target and fired guided [00:02:23] large-caliber [00:02:24] rockets. [00:02:32] On the objective control footage from the drone, the target [00:02:36] strike and thick smoke are visible, having completed the task, the crew folded [00:02:39] the launcher and quickly left the firing [00:02:41] position. Group Center is moving in the [00:02:45] Dobropolsky direction. The Ministry of Defense reports control over [00:02:49] Zolotoy Kolodez, Gulyaeva and Maryevka. Reinforced strongholds [00:02:53] of the enemy are destroyed by artillery and combat aviation after [00:02:56] the main forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are driven out of their occupied positions. [00:03:00] Attack aircraft come into play, they enter villages and conduct [00:03:03] mopping-up operations against scattered enemy groups. [00:03:07] Drone operators modernize UAVs right on the move. [00:03:09] They came up with how to strengthen lightning. Andrey Vakula about [00:03:13] thunder around [00:03:14] Dobropollia. [00:03:18] Day and night, Dobropolye is in smoke, Russian pilots drop aerial bombs. [00:03:22] In the district center, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces have a large defense node, enemy [00:03:25] command posts, drone launch points, and ammunition depots are being razed to the ground. [00:03:29] The battalion. of pilot systems of the sixty-first brigade of [00:03:31] the Marine Corps of Group Center records hits. The enemy [00:03:35] digs into the slag heaps, plus it is a fortified area that [00:03:38] has been prepared for a long time, not so much infantry, specifically enemy [00:03:42] infantry in the city itself, mostly they fight with UAV crews [00:03:46] that are outside the city. Here in the forest belt on the approaches to the city [00:03:49] is a network of enemy trenches, remaining machine gun nests that prevent our [00:03:53] assault groups from approaching. The resistance is short-lived, a few lightning [00:03:57] strikes are enough to suppress the fire and we can advance further. They can, [00:04:30] ours burn everything, reconnaissance flies far, at the junction of the DPR and [00:04:34] Kharkiv region, in the enemy's rear, they constantly identify railway [00:04:37] stations where the Ukrainian Armed Forces try to bring armored vehicles, [00:04:41] self-propelled artillery, that is, armored personnel carriers, that is, cargo [00:04:45] special equipment on trains, further, how all this [00:04:48] is already transported by trawlers, they load it on trawlers, and then deliver it to positions, well, mostly [00:04:51] we identify, we do not allow them to do this, how far they manage [00:04:55] to drive away from the station, usually not, not [00:04:58] possible, right, left. [00:05:01] Rotors, camera, ammunition, technicians check the lightning, and then [00:05:04] another strike drone is attached from above, such a tandem is a new [00:05:07] development by soldiers of the radiation, chemical and [00:05:10] biological defense unit, this is a duo. [00:05:23] These birds fly towards the border of the DPR and Dnipropetrovsk region, according to intelligence reports, [00:05:27] Ukrainian militants are accumulating forces here for a further breakthrough, but our [00:05:31] lightning reaches its target, I see it was filmed, there was an explosion, [00:05:34] an explosion, yes, clearly, the camera records the hit, [00:05:37] a few seconds later another strike, a control one, the crew launches up to [00:05:41] three dozen drones per [00:05:43] day, the lightning itself dived into the command post where there were about [00:05:47] four militants, accordingly this is a calculation for the bomb, we [00:05:51] on the PV drone, with the second drone we already hit the bomb itself, that's [00:05:55] how Ukrainian militants are smoked out of basements and mines, the enemy dug in underground, [00:05:58] the aces of unmanned aviation of the center clear a bridgehead for the advance [00:06:02] of attack aircraft, [00:06:03] the second [00:06:06] one by one in short dashes across the field, these frames were filmed by soldiers of the thirty-fifth [00:06:09] brigade from Altai northeast of Dobropolye under... the trees hide from [00:06:13] Ukrainian drones, waiting for the right [00:06:15] moment, [00:06:17] carefully, come on, come on, he went, he went, the enemy sits in [00:06:21] houses where civilians once lived and opens fire, attack aircraft offer [00:06:24] to surrender, but in response a refusal, ours use the tactic of lightning assault, [00:06:28] before the militants have time [00:06:29] to recover, [00:06:37] the walls crumble from Tanya, that's what they call a piece of explosives, a development [00:06:40] of the guys from the center group, if... [00:06:43] any of the Ukrainian Armed Forces survive, he certainly won't be up for a fight, two Tanyas in [00:06:46] the RPG forward, such a big grenade, [00:06:50] it's about the same size as an anti-tank mine, it [00:06:53] detonates, but weighs less, but it [00:06:56] demolishes a house. [00:07:01] Thus, with coordinated actions, the center group breaks the enemy's resistance and more and more [00:07:05] attack aircraft advance into Dobropolye, the formations of the Kyiv [00:07:08] regime are crushing the junction of the DPR and Dnepropetrovsk region, from Rubezhnoe under... [00:07:32] Russia has no aggressive intentions towards European [00:07:35] countries, Vladimir Putin emphasized at a meeting of the military-industrial commission in [00:07:39] the Kremlin. We are ready for cooperation, for the restoration [00:07:42] of relations with European neighbors. At the same [00:07:45] time, the president drew attention to the fact that NATO countries in the Baltic [00:07:49] Sea are practicing the seizure of civilian [00:07:52] vessels. This does not correspond to the observance of international [00:07:55] law. All NATO countries in the Baltics are now all except [00:07:59] Russia. And in such a situation, sailors must be, it was emphasized, [00:08:03] polite. Our military sailors prevented a provocation [00:08:07] staged by the Danish Air Force. The corvette [00:08:10] "Soobrazitelny" was sailing in the sea between Germany. [00:09:12] not to be, for skillful decisive actions, Defense Minister [00:09:16] Andrei Belousov awarded the commander of the corvette "Soobrazitelny" [00:09:19] with the medal for combat [00:09:21] distinctions. [00:09:24] The crew of the small missile ship "Odintsovo" in the Baltic performed [00:09:28] training firing at an aerial target from the "Pantsir" anti-aircraft [00:09:31] missile and gun system. As [00:09:34] a target, a target missile of the "Bal" coastal missile system [00:09:37] was used. [00:09:49] On the Zaporozhye section, the Vostok group continues to encircle [00:09:52] Orekhov. Attack aircraft entrenched themselves on the southern [00:09:56] outskirts of the city, already fighting in the central districts. About the tactics [00:10:00] of storming enemy fortifications in the Zaporozhye steppes, [00:10:04] a report by Anna Tsypayeva. [00:10:07] Here, in the Orekhovsky direction, battles are being fought literally for every meter of land, advancing [00:10:11] from the side of Nezheka. Assault detachments of the Fifth Tank Brigade of the Vostok group [00:10:15] drove Ukrainian formations out of Rozovka, taking control [00:10:18] of the dominant tactical heights. There was a gap between [00:10:21] the forest belt, the road, the dugout was right on the edge, it was difficult [00:10:25] to approach from all sides, the difficulty was that they dragged it out, from all sides, [00:10:28] they set up tripwires, they had, well, bunkers [00:10:32] made, they fired back, from the air it looks like an ordinary [00:10:35] dugout, but often inside it can hide equipment or an ammunition [00:10:38] depot, the militants themselves hide in so-called fox [00:10:41] holes, such underground passages literally penetrate [00:10:45] the Zaporozhye steppes, even the commander had such moments, he himself [00:10:48] said, wait for now, wait it out there, now we will [00:10:52] deal with them. The key ingredient of success in the storming [00:10:57] of Rozovka was massive artillery support. It is important to understand [00:11:01] the specifics of this direction. Here, the pace of the offensive is measured not [00:11:05] by kilometers, but by the number of enemy [00:11:07] strongholds broken and cleared. Given that [00:11:11] the village is located near the river floodplain, swamp vegetation prevails [00:11:14] near it. And even such reeds were used by our soldiers as [00:11:18] natural camouflage on the approaches to observation posts that [00:11:22] were on a hill. It was quite [00:11:25] difficult to do this, because the enemy is conducting continuous monitoring from [00:11:29] the sky. Heavy drones did not become an obstacle for our soldiers, a shooter with [00:11:32] the call sign Firs eliminated four enemy hexacopters, and this does not [00:11:36] count the avalanche of Ukrainian FPVs, more than ten kamikazes [00:11:40] were destroyed. You just need to hit at the exact moment when it will be [00:11:44] already at the peak of the drop, well, accordingly, you can't [00:11:47] stand still, you always need to maneuver. Our attack aircraft entered the settlement, [00:11:51] moving on parallel courses, this tactic allows. [00:12:30] The advance is towards the eastern supply corridor of Orekhov. A real barrage [00:12:34] of fire covered the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Chervony Yar. The enemy's temporary [00:12:37] deployment points were hit by Hurricanes. It was [00:12:41] here, under cover of night, that the enemy secretly transferred reserves and [00:12:44] ammunition. And although the ground buildings in the village were turned into ruins, under [00:12:47] them the central street was actually converted into a militant accumulation point with [00:12:51] a network of deep trenches. Within 24 hours we fired. [00:13:25] However, enemy UAV operators reacted to the decoy target, [00:13:28] as a result, their drones were successfully destroyed [00:13:31] by the crew of the aerial [00:13:33] surveillance post. [00:13:39] Meanwhile, unmanned system crews thwarted an attempt by Ukrainian formations [00:13:42] to strengthen their positions. In the objective control footage, our FPVs [00:13:46] attack militants at the very moment when they begin to unload materials for [00:13:50] the construction of new dugouts. [00:13:52] Shot! The relay [00:13:55] is taken over by barrel artillery, command posts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces UAVs in the Yegorovka area [00:13:59] are hit by precise fire, positions in Omelnik are under heavy fire, the defense [00:14:03] of the forward belt of the Orekhovsky fortified area is losing [00:14:06] stability, here on the eastern flank it is literally bursting at the [00:14:09] seams, Anna Tsepaev, Andrey Chesnov, "Serving Russia" program, Zaporozhye direction of the special [00:14:13] military operation. [00:14:16] The ark with the relics of Saint Prince Dmitry [00:14:20] Donskoy was transported to the field churches of troop groupings in the special [00:14:23] operation zone. Orthodox warriors stood in [00:14:26] line, confessed, and partook of communion, many [00:14:29] were baptized, now there are many more [00:14:33] church-going people at the front. Igor [00:14:36] Lapik, about real miracles. [00:14:39] You can see the dent here, right? It turns out, here it is, a small chip, this is where [00:14:43] a fragment got stuck, it turns out. Yes, if it wasn't for the cross, it [00:14:46] would have pierced his chest. You can't call it anything less than a miraculous [00:14:50] salvation. Daniil, an assault trooper of the southern group of forces. [00:14:54] A fragment pierced his bulletproof vest and got stuck in his pectoral cross, [00:14:57] he blew up on two mines, one he hit with his foot, [00:15:00] the other with his hand, but his limbs remained unharmed, [00:15:04] now the wounds are healing, and the consciousness of yesterday's street hooligan [00:15:07] here in the war completely turned around, I [00:15:11] started to believe in [00:15:13] God even more, I [00:15:16] sinned before, but not without that, God completely [00:15:20] saved me, I started to sin less, [00:15:23] here every day I go to... how I pray, another assault trooper, [00:15:27] a Southerner with the call sign "Wind" with his group destroyed five [00:15:30] Ukrainian Armed Forces militants in an enemy dugout, was wounded, but [00:15:34] it was impossible to retreat, the whole sky was full of... [00:15:37] drones at that moment, I directly asked [00:15:40] God for help, and [00:15:43] so that you understand, two minutes later it started raining, and under this [00:15:47] rain, drones don't fly, and I successfully [00:15:50] got out of there, only thanks to the Lord, I can't describe it [00:15:54] any other way, at that moment, it felt so strong that I got goosebumps, [00:15:58] from that moment I immediately came here to the church and started praying directly, [00:16:01] this church was built by the hands of the assault troopers themselves, who faced... [00:16:05] штурмовиков, которые столкнулись... [00:16:37] the center became closer to God after the Lord protected him in [00:16:41] battle, the ammunition depot was [00:16:44] hit, and we couldn't get out for a long time, and I was already [00:16:48] praying, I just said: Lord, I said, if it pleases you that I stay here, please take me, [00:16:52] immediately, so that I, well, don't [00:16:54] feel pain, like the guys, take me, if it pleases you that I get out, give [00:16:58] me a sign, then the shells started to stop, well, exploding, [00:17:02] literally there were periods of 10-15 minutes, and we with [00:17:05] the guys started to go out at that moment and... [00:17:07] Then I already, already specifically realized that the Lord is with me. [00:17:11] He used to not believe in God and didn't even know how to properly [00:17:14] make the sign of the cross, says the young fighter of the Vostok group with the call sign [00:17:17] Sonik, but after he survived several [00:17:21] scrapes, he radically changed his opinion. Three enemy [00:17:24] drones flew into our basement, and at [00:17:28] that I didn't get a single [00:17:30] scratch. [00:17:33] And after that moment, I finally understood that something was protecting me. [00:17:38] Back then - I felt like I had read some [00:17:41] prayers somewhere, at those moments my [00:17:45] brain directly reminded [00:17:48] me of them. The ark with the relics of Dmitry Donskoy is accompanied on the trip by [00:17:52] the sacristan of the main church of the armed forces, Archpriest [00:17:55] Alexander Soldatenkov. He has served as a military [00:17:58] priest for 27 years and previously ministered to our soldiers in [00:18:02] Yugoslavia, Tajikistan, Syria in the North Caucasus. Before my [00:18:06] first combat mission, I did not believe in God, it was difficult, I did not [00:18:09] know prayers, I spoke my own words, and in the evening, [00:18:13] being at the position, you lie down, [00:18:17] you talk to God in your own words, it somehow becomes easier, your soul is released, [00:18:20] you wouldn't say that this is an underground field temple, [00:18:23] it's so bright and spacious, the church is part of [00:18:26] a large rear area of the special military operation zone, where servicemen restore [00:18:30] their strength after completing tasks, in fact, there is a whole [00:18:33] rehabilitation center here, the ark with the relics of [00:18:36] Dmitry... made in Orthodox traditions with appropriate [00:18:40] ornamentation, here is this door with an icon, and here [00:18:44] is a reliquary cast from metal in the form of a hand, inside [00:18:47] is a particle of the right hand of the blessed [00:18:50] prince, the entire ark is made of solid metal and weighs [00:18:54] almost 6 kg, it is transported, transported in such a [00:18:57] special military bag, it is placed here and carefully covered [00:19:01] from above with such a cushion. Igor Lapik, [00:19:04] "Serving Russia" program, Zvezda TV channel from the zone of operation. [00:19:12] A double strike with Kalibr cruise missiles in the Sea of Japan was carried out by [00:19:15] sailors of the Ufa diesel-electric submarine. [00:19:19] The first missile hit a sea target, which simulated a ship [00:19:22] of a conditional enemy, at a range of about 130 km, [00:19:25] the second destroyed a coastal target at the Antarctic field in [00:19:29] Khabarovsk Krai, the distance to the target is more than a thousand [00:19:32] km, but this is only the visible part of the exercises [00:19:35] of the Pacific Fleet submarine. [00:20:22] Donald Trump wrote about the creation of artificial [00:20:25] intelligence forces in the USA, what we will show on this front in Russia [00:20:28] after a short [00:20:30] commercial. Military acceptance [00:20:34] presents. [00:20:38] hours, an ordinary apartment, so that with your own eyes, [00:20:41] at a distance of up to 100 km, to see [00:20:44] real launches, suitable weather and the combat [00:20:47] work of the newest strike drones. Scalpel, scalpel [00:20:51] approaches closer and closer to the target, interceptor drones, [00:20:54] spruce, checked the engines, reconnaissance UAVs, [00:20:58] super 180 and lightning, what is the mass of this lightning, [00:21:02] from sunset to sunset, what is this [00:21:05] with the aces of the legendary unmanned special forces [00:21:09] center Rubicon, now we are going to the control post, [00:21:12] only in military acceptance, today at [00:21:15] 9:55.

Radio [00:23:38] Zvezda, empowering [00:23:40] with knowledge. Watch the new episode, searching [00:23:44] for my own. February twenty-sixth. Besieged [00:23:47] Volchansk. After months of waiting, the Mikryukov [00:23:51] family, who had been hiding in a destroyed house, was preparing for [00:23:53] evacuation. On February 10th, a Russian [00:23:56] soldier ran in and said: hide me, we ran out with [00:24:00] bags, and he stayed in the house. So, your husband went back for him, [00:24:04] and you stayed to wait, I waited for an hour, 4:00, 5:00, minus [00:24:07] 29 degrees Celsius, I take a backpack with documents and start to leave [00:24:11] myself, it's already getting dark, a drone hovers over me, with a flashlight, [00:24:14] I realize that it starts to follow me, I see, guys running [00:24:18] towards me, I say, [00:24:38] at the Military Space Academy named after Mozhaisky, a department of [00:24:42] artificial intelligence has been created, it is considered the first in a Russian [00:24:45] military university. From this academic year, they began to train future [00:24:49] specialists in St. Petersburg. [00:26:02] on the principle of a complete conveyor belt from design, programming, to [00:26:06] assembly control. For example, this robot has machine vision [00:26:09] and can be used for reconnaissance. Development of [00:26:13] search and recognition systems for new machine learning algorithms, [00:26:17] creation and development of swarm technologies, so that not [00:26:20] only drones, but also satellites in orbit can operate in [00:26:24] autonomous mode. Training specialists at the new faculty [00:26:27] covers the most advanced and relevant areas. [00:26:30] Artificial intelligence technologies. artificial [00:27:12] intelligence, fine-tune machine learning models in the field of technical [00:27:15] vision, as well as develop their own large model or [00:27:19] adapt a pre-trained model, well, already manage [00:27:23] global information and computing resources, [00:27:26] these, I think, are specialists of a new generation who will be able to [00:27:29] do almost everything. This is a laboratory of the innovation [00:27:33] development center, where cadets practice skills in [00:27:37] cybersecurity using artificial intelligence agents to combat threats [00:27:40] on the network, access to powerful computing resources was provided by [00:27:44] the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia.
