00:00:00Come on, come on, come on!
00:00:04In Ukraine, we always talked about unique places,
00:00:07unique people, but that was
00:00:10before. Since February
00:00:132022, everything has been changed
00:00:16by the war. We show a new
00:00:20history of Ukraine. About
00:00:23incredible strength of spirit, about fighting no matter
00:00:26what.
00:00:31Watch the joint project of Radio Svoboda and the TV channel "Current
00:00:35Time" about what is really happening in Ukraine.
00:00:52Ukraine is scaling up middle strikes. The Ukrainian army
00:00:56is actively hitting the operational rear of the Russian
00:00:59army. Under attack are air defense systems,
00:01:02deployment points, warehouses, and much more. Today,
00:01:06Donbas-Realii will show one of these operations of the first separate
00:01:10center of unmanned systems
00:01:11SBS.
00:01:16A bright flash a drone disappears in
00:01:19the night sky. This is beautiful work, the best work in
00:01:22the world. FP-2s take off one after another, each carrying
00:01:26over 100 kg of explosives. My crew.
00:02:30possess knowledge, minimal, at least in electronics, be able to
00:02:33solder, be able to simply carry out various minor
00:02:36field repairs, and most importantly - be stress-resistant and be
00:02:40ready for the fact that this is a service to which you give yourself, and
00:02:43you must give yourself completely.
00:02:56This is a very large mechanism, planning is a very large mechanism.
00:04:30that is, their mobile groups worked directly on us, when we were on
00:04:34approach to them, our guys hit the moving
00:04:37target without problems, yes, when we were on approach to
00:04:40them, and the guys hit the target
00:04:43without problems. Considering
00:04:46the results of the mid-strike in Ukraine, it was essentially possible to achieve
00:04:50the depletion of Russian air defense assets in
00:04:53certain areas. At the same time, Russia is trying to counteract
00:04:57Ukrainian strikes, particularly on logistics. Attempts are
00:05:01being made to patrol routes with anti-aircraft drones, as well as
00:05:04to increase the number of mobile fire groups, this is in addition to
00:05:08air defense directly near the front line. There is a
00:05:11layered defense, which
00:05:13is carried out by
00:05:15UAV interceptors, sometimes it is more
00:05:19successful, sometimes it is less
00:05:22successful. The effectiveness of detecting targets in the air
00:05:25is achieved by the presence of air control
00:05:28radars. These are air space control systems,
00:05:32a network of small radars, which are the size of Starlink, and which
00:05:35the Russians are deploying in different places, and the more of these
00:05:38radars there are, the better their interceptors can shoot down our drones.
00:05:42The fewer there are, the harder it is for them to do it. It's a fairly simple
00:05:46system, if you explain it like this,
00:05:48at some of the echelons, again, in different directions, at
00:05:52some of these echelons, classic
00:05:55SAMs are also present, such as Buk, Tor, Pantsir, and so on.
00:05:59also present are classical SAMs, such as
00:06:02Buk, Tor, Pantsir, and so
00:06:04on.
00:06:07uh, the fundamental difference between SAMs and... The fundamental
00:06:10difference between the SAM concept and the interceptor concept is that
00:06:14SAMs are much easier to detect by all possible methods,
00:06:17and once detected, they are much easier to destroy. Whereas
00:06:21interceptors are already a group of people consisting of several servicemen who
00:06:25hide in forest plantations, whom it is very difficult to
00:06:29detect visually, but again, methods of countering interceptors
00:06:32currently exist, they are being applied
00:06:35systematically in the main directions, so, as I
00:06:38said, thank God we have found an answer to this problem, which was very...
00:07:22establishing fire control over Donetsk airport, which the Russian
00:07:26army uses as a logistics hub and
00:07:29drone port, one of the tasks of this mission was to disrupt the launches
00:07:33of Shaheds in coordination with other platforms. We
00:07:36understand that if enemy drones
00:07:40fly, that... if enemy drones fly at
00:07:44a certain interval, and not simultaneously, then it is much easier
00:07:47for us to shoot them down, thus carrying out preventive asymmetrical
00:07:51fire impact, we disrupt their plans for a coordinated
00:07:54attack, and thus, this already facilitates the work of our
00:07:58defense force interceptor groups, at least, and at most,
00:08:02this generally reduces the enemy's ability to carry out
00:08:05operational-strategic defeats, carrying out
00:08:08operational-strategic strikes, during the operation, three levels
00:08:12of impact were carried out: destruction of launch groups, impact on
00:08:16enemy air defense, and strikes on airport infrastructure.
00:08:19Ukrainian military note that one should not underestimate
00:08:23the psychological effect. Understanding that you are launching these
00:08:26drones, and here at the airfield unidentified ones are flying. You understand that
00:08:30you are launching these drones, and here at the airfield
00:08:33unidentified ones are flying, which no one can shoot down properly, and you do not
00:08:37fully know whether they will try to hit you now or
00:08:41something else. It is clear that this is a very serious
00:08:44psychological impact, which directly affects the quality
00:08:47of task execution. In such operations, there are very interesting
00:08:51aspects of how the enemy reacts to this, always, when
00:08:54there is an opportunity to understand what the reaction was, it is very
00:08:58interesting: generalized enemy, we are talking about
00:09:01a specific unit, in this case we are not talking about some
00:09:05generalized enemy, we are talking about a specific unit, we all
00:09:09know that these are the launch units of Rubicon, which...
00:10:26the logic of war demands from us, the logic of war
00:10:29demands from us, and our situation demands from us that
00:10:33the apparatus must be massive, as cheap as possible, and
00:10:36simple. The latter requirement is dictated by the rules
00:10:39of the army, since we have different people coming from society,
00:10:43and the easier the apparatus, the easier it is to train a person, and the
00:10:47easier it is to fix a problem in the field, which sometimes
00:10:49happens?
00:11:06Each of the directions, which can even be divided by corps,
00:11:10has its own specificity in terms of targeting, which targets are
00:11:13priority, which are not, in terms of effect, you understand that
00:11:17if you systematically hit certain targets, such
00:11:20and such an effect will be achieved.
00:11:24exactly such...
00:12:26the conclusion is rather schematic, as not all operations
00:12:29are reported publicly, moreover, in this direction, the HUR,
00:12:33SBU, and other units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are working.
00:12:36However, according to official data, in May, the main
00:12:39targets of SBS middle strikes were Russian
00:12:42air defense systems, a significant part
00:12:45of the strikes were on deployment points and warehouses of the Russian army, among
00:12:49the affected targets were also aviation, fleet,
00:12:52energy and oil.
00:13:05if we start looking at the analytics for target destruction somewhere starting
00:13:09from last autumn, we will see that we systematically destroyed
00:13:13two targets, these are air defense systems,
00:13:16Tunguskas, Tors, Pantsirs, S-300s, S-400s, and
00:13:19also radar systems, without which they are simply blind and cannot
00:13:23work, radar systems, right? which without them are simply blind
00:13:27and cannot work, the paradox is that
00:13:30the paradox is that the existing infrastructure allows
00:13:34Russians to create up to 10 units in each of these segments
00:13:37each month, up to 10 units in total, and
00:13:41we eliminated much more, that is, 20, 30, up to
00:13:4540 assets in one month, yes, so 20, 30, up to 40
00:13:49assets in one month, when we thus,
00:13:52when we thus cleared the way.
00:15:02This year, Ukraine has hit about ten of the most interesting enterprises of the Russian defense industry. Therefore, here
00:15:06I would say that certain supply chains of some
00:15:09components are now broken. Accordingly,
00:15:13we need to say now that Russia will now try
00:15:16to replace this by bypassing sanctions or by
00:15:20assistance from Chinese partners. What we saw is that Belarus
00:15:23actively helps the Russian Federation in creating some
00:15:27elements for cruise missiles, for
00:15:29interceptor missiles, therefore, accordingly, I would say
00:15:33that Russia still has opportunities, as there is
00:15:36a general...
00:16:09In addition to the deficit of interceptor missiles, only
00:16:12Ukrainian SBS destroyed or damaged 194 Russian
00:16:16air defense assets in half a year. At the same
00:16:19time, it is indicative that according to our estimates in June, compared to
00:16:23May, the ratio of targets for middle strikes of unmanned
00:16:26systems has changed somewhat, if the defeat
00:16:29of air defense elements remained virtually at the same level, then
00:16:33the number of strikes on energy and gas
00:16:38and oil infrastructure has significantly increased. Obviously, this fits into
00:16:41the strategy of deep strikes on oil refineries,
00:16:44which leads to a fuel crisis in
00:16:47Russia.
00:16:51New realities,
00:16:54gasoline is being drained, like this, this is what
00:16:58floats in gas tanks. Don't drive
00:17:01people to the brink. Yes, let's go all. Probably, people will also drive
00:17:04the service personnel to the brink now. You see. And you see,
00:17:08well, what are you, this is the last gasoline, listen,
00:17:11the car is new, don't stand with a gun near my car
00:17:15like that, I'll fill it up now, I'll douse it now, I'll
00:17:18douse it,
00:17:20it's possible
00:17:22people, damn it, there's gasoline, where the hell
00:17:26is your gasoline, what awaits Russia, Russia
00:17:29awaits, if this story continues, a very difficult period, what
00:17:33awaits Russia, Russia awaits, if this
00:17:35story continues.
00:18:38which means it can lead to the acceleration of the negotiation process and
00:18:42the cessation of hostilities, well, and the cessation of hostilities.
00:18:45There is a fourth option, Russia will start trying
00:18:48to stretch everything to everyone, well, then they might find themselves in
00:18:52a situation that Russian analysts themselves describe as: everything
00:18:55will crack for them then, then a completely different
00:18:59period awaits Russia, and then a completely different period
00:19:03awaits Russia. The authoritative publication Financial
00:19:06Times with...
00:19:37one must consider the enemy's expended resources, because the conditional
00:19:41operation of an air defense system, when Pantsir
00:19:44systems, missiles for Pantsir systems or, for example, the same
00:19:48S-300, S-400, are used, as there are facts of the use of precisely such
00:19:51missiles for our deep strikes, accordingly, this is also a depletion
00:19:55of resources. Regarding the quantity announced by
00:19:58the Russian Federation, the Russian Federation always lies, which
00:20:01means that it will significantly exaggerate the number of aerial
00:20:04attack means and report on the effectiveness of its own.
00:20:37Russia, for example, used its new Su-57
00:20:40aircraft, but this did not help. OSINT analysts,
00:20:44based on satellite images, record at
00:20:47least three or four hits.
00:20:51here our whole factory is burning, 12
00:20:55pieces, only one was grounded,
00:20:5811
00:21:00hit,
00:21:03that's how it is, regarding middle strikes in
00:21:06the context of their impact on the situation at the front, then
00:21:10here, of course, in addition to the strikes we described, the destruction of Russian
00:21:14logistics in the occupied territories plays a big
00:21:17role, here is a map from French analyst
00:21:21Kliman Molina as of the end of June, using
00:21:24open data, he identified about 800 cases
00:21:28of damage to Russian transport on key
00:21:31highways. In the first week of July, the intensity
00:21:34of the company grew from twenty trucks a day in June to
00:21:3834 every day now. These strikes
00:21:41are carried out not with FP-2s, which we showed,
00:21:45for example, but with Bepol hornet or Darts with a warhead not
00:21:49100, but
00:22:50which are very interesting EW assets, by the way, besides that, they have very interesting EW assets
00:22:53that, by the way, are produced in temporarily occupied
00:22:56Crimea, they allow them to jam Starlink in an area of
00:23:0020-25 km, all this
00:23:03will allow them to solve a certain problem on this route, so we still
00:23:07have a window of opportunity, somewhere else 3-4 months, there definitely is,
00:23:11it will be much worse later, 3-4
00:23:14months there definitely are, it will be much worse later, and this is absolutely
00:23:17normal, it has always worked like this on...
00:24:20army and already creates quite a few problems, especially since
00:24:23Russia did not expect such intensity of strikes on its
00:24:27territory. However, everything that is happening is a logical
00:24:31continuation of the war of attrition for both the army itself and
00:24:35economic resources, however, where the limit of this
00:24:38attrition is, it is unlikely to be
00:24:41predicted now. This was Donbas-Realii, I am Yaroslav
00:24:44Krechko, until
00:24:45next time.
00:25:50It's important to remember that this was actually the first time these systems
00:25:53interacted as a single
00:25:55whole.
00:29:34No measures of coercion, neither physical nor moral,
