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

00:12:46October 3, 1993
00:12:49became a day of shame for American
00:12:52special forces.
00:13:58Warsaw Pact, the integration of Eastern Europe. Africa was on the periphery of
00:14:01attention. Somalia and the genocide in Rwanda
00:14:04became symbols of this indifference. When
00:14:08the UN nevertheless deployed the UNOSOM1 mission,
00:14:11it turned out to be relatively successful. The USA
00:14:14sent about 20,000 soldiers, created control
00:14:18zones, provided food supplies and relative
00:14:21security.
00:14:33The Americans are starting an operation in Somalia, they had many
00:14:36hopes that they would be able to create an ideal political regime there,
00:14:40now they just need to come, they will immediately ensure
00:14:44stability, and security, and the delivery
00:14:46of humanitarian aid, safe from the UN, because
00:14:50as it was presented in the media, that internecine strife in
00:14:54Somalia. prevents the delivery of humanitarian aid to
00:14:57the population, the Americans will come and stop it, the standard of
00:15:00living will increase, what actually happened, the entire population
00:15:04united against the United States of America, and what will the American
00:15:08special forces do, why do we need this at all? In
00:15:11Somalia in 1992,
00:15:15there were about 20,000 American
00:15:18soldiers who created certain
00:15:21control zones, control zones belonged to the most
00:15:25affected regions by famine. In
00:15:28general, these peacekeeping forces
00:15:31prevented the movement of armed groups, that is,
00:15:34they stabilized the situation, however... This
00:15:38mission was probably not completed, because
00:15:41real reconciliation between the warring
00:15:45clans did not happen, but
00:15:47Washington was not going to finish what it had started.
00:15:50Instead, the mission was
00:15:54declared completed, and its powers were
00:15:57transferred to the UNISOM-2 mission, within which
00:16:00only 3,000 American advisors and consultants
00:16:04remained in Somalia, of course, with a decrease...
00:16:07The creative contingent's participation in
00:16:11Somalia's affairs by external actors led to an intensification of
00:16:15conflictual interaction within the country, various
00:16:19groups began to claim to seize the control
00:16:22zones of peacekeepers,
00:16:25they began to carry out raids, including
00:16:28quite serious attacks on peacekeeping
00:16:32contingents. Washington's response was
00:16:35harsh: the goal of the operation on October 3,
00:16:391993, was the elimination of
00:16:42Aidid, but instead of a surgical strike,
00:16:45American special forces were drawn into street fighting in
00:16:49Mogadishu. One of the central
00:16:52figures is field commander Aidid,
00:16:56who is behind many successful attacks, including
00:17:00attacks on Pakistani servicemen. The reaction from
00:17:04the US was harsh. It
00:17:07boiled down to an attempt to eliminate Aidid. As
00:17:11a result of this mission, several
00:17:15of Aidid's assistants were indeed destroyed,
00:17:18but overall the mission was characterized as
00:17:21a failure, primarily because it led to
00:17:24serious losses among Americans,
00:17:27in fact their operation was exposed, partly this
00:17:31was a consequence of such an inflated media effect,
00:17:35because in the media after... By the way, after the first Gulf War
00:17:39they started showing a lot of hot spots. The American public
00:17:43followed hot spots in the world with interest and pushed
00:17:46the government to increase its presence there, well, of course, to
00:17:50protect human rights. When the government came there, also in
00:17:54Somalia, they faced the fact that the local population was not happy with them, they had already
00:17:58seen how American TNCs work, in general they
00:18:01want to define the characteristics of the political
00:18:05regime in their own interests, to live, in their interests
00:18:08to act, so this operation in
00:18:11Somalia, the American one, ended quite ingloriously,
00:18:14they withdrew their troops, having achieved nothing.
00:18:1728 American
00:18:20servicemen died, and several
00:18:23dozen more were wounded. In addition, a helicopter was shot down and
00:18:27its pilot was captured, which led to
00:18:30this operation being called Black
00:18:34Hawk Down. General Aidid remained unharmed,
00:18:38he remained free, the conflict in Somalia
00:18:41continued, the number of attacks
00:18:45on peacekeeping forces,
00:18:47represented not by Americans at all, but
00:18:50by Pakistanis, Indians,
00:18:53Egyptians, representatives of several other Asian
00:18:57states, these attacks continued, dozens of peacekeepers
00:19:01died, and the role
00:19:04of the US turned out to be nominal in resolving
00:19:07this conflict. For the United States, it was an example
00:19:10of demonstrating power, for the UN it was
00:19:13a humanitarian mission that was supposed to
00:19:16improve the well-being of the local population of Somalia.
00:19:20Americans thus effectively demonstrated
00:19:23disregard for the UN system, for the goals
00:19:26of the UN, and signed off on the fact that they are not
00:19:30ready to support UN projects if these projects
00:19:33threaten their security.
00:19:47In this sense, of course, it is important
00:19:50to understand that all American interventions,
00:19:53whether in Iraq, whether in Somalia
00:19:56or in any other part of the planet, bring with them
00:19:59not prosperity, right, let's see if there is more
00:20:02security in Iraq after the American intervention, in
00:20:06Afghanistan. Are people protected, do those much-praised
00:20:10democratic procedures that are talked about so much
00:20:13really work? Therefore, this idea of protecting
00:20:16people's security by violating state security is
00:20:20inherently contradictory, because
00:20:22human security cannot be achieved without
00:20:26state security, and by destroying the state, state
00:20:30institutions, the US does not bring democracy, they only
00:20:33take away those political foundations...
00:20:50many subsequent conflicts, both in
00:20:53African countries, primarily in East Africa, and in
00:20:57the Middle East. In Somalia, the Americans entered into
00:21:00conflict with illegal armed groups, by and large
00:21:03these were terrorists, separatists who engaged in
00:21:07guerrilla warfare, had
00:21:10their field camps, trained militants there,
00:21:13and exactly the same practice
00:21:15was used by the enemies
00:21:18of the United States. And
00:21:31threats, including various field commanders,
00:21:35leaders, ideologues,
00:21:46all terrorist groups, they are always
00:21:50concentric, that is, there are many leaders
00:21:53of different levels, different statuses, and when
00:21:56the first ones are eliminated, the second ones come in their place, and this
00:22:00chain is virtually unbroken, it can
00:22:03exist indefinitely, and for a comprehensive
00:22:06fight against a terrorist
00:22:09movement, an equally comprehensive coverage
00:22:12of the terrorist group is needed, identifying all
00:22:16networks, channels, participants, intermediaries, sources...
00:22:43The US in Venezuela, when they simply
00:22:46kidnapped the leader of the state. Can
00:22:49one say that such a practice affected
00:22:53Venezuela? Absolutely, but in Venezuela there is a state
00:22:56system that was left without a leader, and if we talk
00:22:59about a terrorist movement,
00:23:02then such a practice will only lead to the embitterment of its
00:23:05participants and the emergence of many
00:23:09new cells. The example of Somalia largely showed this, because
00:23:12from the conflict in Somalia, the formation
00:23:16of the terrorist group, al-Shabaab, the penetration of al-Qaeda
00:23:20into Somalia, and later the Islamic
00:23:24State, has its origins. Today
00:23:27it is said that the al-Shabaab group is linked to
00:23:30another terrorist group in Africa, Boko
00:23:34Haram, operating in Nigeria, Cameroon, and that in
00:23:38turn is linked to terrorist groups in
00:23:42the Maghreb countries, Al-Qaeda in the Maghreb countries, the Islamic State in the Maghreb countries.
00:23:45Somalia was a precedent, a starting point for... Most
00:24:28likely, for African states, neither the socialist direction
00:24:31nor the capitalist way of doing business is more acceptable,
00:24:35but rather something in between, which would exclude
00:24:38nepotism, which would exclude
00:24:42tribalism in African countries, which
00:24:45and in general African countries suffer
00:24:48from the fact that there is no established
00:24:51political system, no established healthcare system,
00:24:55no established education
00:24:58system. This leads to them being
00:25:01constantly in such a state of
00:25:04transformation, there is no sustainable development in these
00:25:07countries, in further development, possessing
00:25:10colossal natural resources, in any case
00:25:14with the increasing role of the educated
00:25:17population in Africa, in principle, over the
00:25:20last 50-60 years Africa has made a colossal
00:25:24step forward in this direction, the number of educated people is now
00:25:2880% in many countries, yes, this will most
00:25:31likely lead to meritocracy, it
00:25:34will lead to African countries acquiring
00:25:37true sovereignty and independence in foreign
00:25:41policy.
00:25:52undoubtedly is the development of the population, its
00:25:56education, provision of
00:25:58medicines, in principle, the creation of a positive
00:26:01humanitarian situation. For example, if you look at the practices
00:26:05of the American USAID, then we will see that these are also
00:26:08demonstrative actions, the delivery of a batch of medicines
00:26:12or the delivery of laptops for schools or
00:26:15some other product, a one-time
00:26:18demonstrative one, accompanied by peace
00:26:21ambassadors, accompanied by a large amount of press,
00:26:25but this is not about stability, this is not building
00:26:29a hospital for decades or a school, this is not...
00:26:32rehabilitation of children involved in military
00:26:35conflicts, this is not
00:26:37rehabilitation of women affected by military
00:26:41conflicts, that is, the idea of planned,
00:26:44systematic, methodical, completely thankless work, it is not
00:26:47attractive for the American-European
00:26:50model of transformation of this
00:26:53social order in Africa, which means terrorist groups will continue
00:26:57to exist and will periodically emerge
00:27:01in different places. With roughly the same goals.

00:33:18the experience of 1941, when the sky over the capital
00:33:22was protected from German bombers by
00:33:26barrage balloons, and, as they say, they coped
00:33:29quite well with this. Let's go to the point, okay,
00:33:33let's go, right now they are testing the barrier
00:33:36system on two small 150-cubic-meter
00:33:40balloons, a heavy weight, of course,
00:33:42pull smoothly, release,
00:33:45you can immediately hook up a net, fasten the net,
00:33:48raise it to 20 meters,
00:33:51like two celestial whales,
00:33:54the aerostats synchronously ascend to the given
00:33:57height, this is the very first air defense system,
00:34:00it appeared when there were no anti-aircraft guns, no
00:34:04air defense missiles, you see, two
00:34:07aerostats, a cable is stretched between them, from which
00:34:11special Kevlar cords hang.
00:34:14which actually constitute the defense, during the First
00:34:18World War such defenses were called aprons,
00:34:21later nets were also used, this is a trap
00:34:25system, it is designed for rear
00:34:28protection of especially important infrastructure facilities,
00:34:31factories, refineries, military units or
00:34:35residential buildings and so on. For Ukrainian
00:34:38drones, vertical cords hanging a meter apart
00:34:41will be enough. 800
00:34:44kg,
00:34:49the distance between the cables can be increased or decreased, depending
00:34:53on the size of the target, even a small helicopter will not
00:34:57pass through, the strength of the cables will be enough to tear off the wings
00:35:00of even a large drone, and a
00:35:02small one will simply get entangled in the barrier
00:35:06system, like in nets,
00:35:09during tests the drone wrapped
00:35:12the cable. Several Russian companies
00:35:15was able to demonstrate
00:35:23immediately claim, but only the scientific and production enterprise Spetsradio
00:35:30a fully ready system in
00:35:32in fact.
00:35:35How many such aerostats are needed to close the oil refinery
00:35:39in Kapotnya? Well, to ensure the protection of such
00:35:42a large volume, it will
00:35:45be at least ten such complexes of aerostats that
00:35:49will prevent the flight of unmanned aerial vehicles. These
00:35:52aerostat systems have been trying to be implemented by enthusiasts
00:35:55of aeronautics for 30 years, they proposed
00:35:59using huge transport airships to send goods to Siberia,
00:36:02they planned expeditions to the North Pole, the resumption of
00:36:06cheap passenger flights to America. For
00:36:09the military, aerostats were developed that are capable
00:36:12of raising radars into the stratosphere for
00:36:15several weeks, that is, the airship, according
00:36:18to our project, we have a patent,
00:36:22Russian, for this solution,
00:36:24when we suspend a solar battery
00:36:28inside a transparent shell, but we only fly
00:36:32in the polar zone and during the polar day, that is, for half a year we
00:36:36can fly in the zone of polar circles, on such
00:36:39a device quite successfully, here one
00:36:42prototype is still gathering dust in the hangar, here is
00:36:46the Gepard complex, which can bring
00:36:49benefit, but at the moment it is gathering dust, it
00:36:53can detect drones, it can
00:36:55suppress them, but it needs... at the moment it brings no benefit to anyone.
00:36:59In the early 2000s,
00:37:03the Ministry of Defense showed interest in modern
00:37:06aerostats several times, high-ranking generals
00:37:09came to the tests, but no orders followed then.
00:37:13True, in those years no one even assumed that
00:37:16drones would pose such a threat. All
00:37:20the interest was there, there was a team to deal with this
00:37:24issue, but it's still standing in a closed
00:37:27hangar, for 20 years, 20 years, nobody needs
00:37:30it, it turns out, it turns out, yes, and this is all, although now
00:37:34on the front line, uh, this, I
00:37:36believe, would be good help to our
00:37:39fighters, my son himself was mobilized to the SVO, he has
00:37:43been there for five years, for the sky radar, even
00:37:46a mobile mooring unit was made on the basis of
00:37:49Kamaz, here - a cable with a diameter of 14
00:37:53mm, so electricity is supplied through it,
00:37:57power to the onboard
00:38:00equipment, and also two optical fiber
00:38:03communication lines for information retrieval, the volume
00:38:07of the shell is 1,200 cubic meters, here
00:38:10the Gepard, an aerial drone trap, ideally should
00:38:14work something like this: the Gepard complex with radars
00:38:17determines the altitude of the enemy drone
00:38:21and automatic winches of aerostats correct
00:38:24the ascent of the entire barrier system, so that the cables...
00:38:57reminds one of a giant dumpling, another a flying pattypan squash.
00:39:01The developers assure that the shape was calculated on a computer
00:39:04and tested in a wind tunnel. This is a tethered
00:39:08aerostat, it was chosen
00:39:11specifically for these low altitudes, from
00:39:1550 to 300 m. This
00:39:18shape allows it to withstand
00:39:21atmospheric gusts that occur in this
00:39:25altitude range, which affects
00:40:28because people, with their own funds, bring in
00:40:32very complex equipment,
00:40:34make the ground part, make
00:40:37the aerostatic part, modernize it to our
00:40:40operating conditions, already from the late thirties,
00:40:43the command of the Red Army understood that aerostat
00:40:47barriers were not only effective, but could
00:40:50soon be useful, they were created for the country's own
00:40:54defense, and pilots were prepared for the possibility.
00:41:40Moscow was on guard, where there were such
00:41:42lines. A triple ring of invisible steel
00:41:46threads, aerostats entangled Moscow. Over the capital,
00:41:50up to 1 million meters
00:41:53of steel cable constantly hung. In his memoirs, the Chief of Staff
00:41:57of the Aerostat Barrier Division, Alexander
00:41:59Astraumov, recalled that already in August 1941,
00:42:03in the Khoroshovo area, with the help of an aerostat,
00:42:07a heavy Heinkel bomber was destroyed.
00:42:10111, which hooked its wing on a weighted
00:42:13cable. The fascist plane, after hitting the cable, according
00:42:17to observations from post A3, began to lose
00:42:20balance, tumble, and break into pieces in
00:42:23the air. The wreckage of the downed plane fell into the
00:42:26Moscow River near the Khoroshovo village council by
00:42:29the church. The bodies of four German pilots with iron
00:42:33crosses were later found by divers. There is data
00:42:36from the Luftwaffe, they lost planes without a trace.
00:42:40Yes, which flew to Moscow, and some neighboring
00:42:43German crews reported that, "damn,
00:42:46we hit that night cable again." According to German data, they lost
00:42:5012 planes. In the archives, according to the advisor to the director
00:42:53of the Federal Protective Service, information has been preserved about the fall
00:42:57of a damaged aerostat after a German
00:42:59raid directly on the Kremlin. One of the air-raid
00:43:03balloons fell on the Kremlin. It fell
00:43:07between Kutafia and Troitskaya Tower. By itself. No, a German
00:43:10plane hit it, the plane fell
00:43:14on the Shviyevaya Gorka, where the high-rise building on Kotelnicheskaya
00:43:17Embankment is now, the aerostat crashed into Alexander's Garden itself,
00:43:20we are standing right opposite, that is, the plane that hit the
00:43:24aerostat fell there, the aerostat was accordingly damaged
00:43:27and fell, it took an hour and a half to clear it, to combat
00:43:30cable barriers, the Germans began to use
00:43:33paravanes, barriers with cutting edges, which
00:43:37were attached to the cockpit of the plane and the wingtips.
00:44:04drove along the leading edge of the aircraft wing
00:44:08and pulled a
00:44:10mine towards the aircraft, meaning if such a mine reached
00:44:13the aircraft, the aircraft was definitely doomed.
00:44:16The effect of this was more psychological than
00:44:19practical. German pilots either completely
00:44:21refused to carry out missions, or climbed so
00:44:25high that accurate bombing from there was
00:44:28impossible. At the same time, of course, accuracy
00:44:30was lost. And the planes
00:44:34were more vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire, that
00:44:37is, they remained longer in the
00:44:40zone of anti-aircraft batteries, that
00:44:43is, aerostat barriers, they worked
00:44:46in conjunction with anti-aircraft
00:44:49batteries, and these two means mutually
00:44:52increased each other's effectiveness. After the war,
00:44:56aerostat barriers were forgotten, but they were revisited
00:44:59in the seventies of the last century with the appearance of
00:45:02low-flying cruise missiles, a huge number
00:45:06of tethered aerostat
00:45:10complexes for reconnaissance and
00:45:13for combating low-flying aircraft.
00:45:17All of this turned out to be
00:45:20useless to anyone, that is, they are stored in
00:45:23certain storage warehouses,
00:45:27but few of the leadership
00:45:29know that all of this really exists, and all
00:45:32of this can be launched within 2-3 months with
00:45:36political will and
00:45:40minimal such funding. Another thing is that
00:45:43the shells of those military Soviet aerostats were made of
00:45:46rubberized heavy material, and could well not
00:45:50have survived to our days. But all this was available and
00:45:53was supposed to withstand even not plastic light-engine
00:45:57drones, but jet
00:46:00Tomahawks. Here a rocket flies and what, it won't
00:46:04pierce this net? The thing is that
00:46:07it will pierce the net, but the point is that your
00:46:10autopilot breaks, because you have an impact,
00:46:14and part of the control
00:46:17surfaces, wings, well, the wings break, that's it, it won't
00:46:21fly further, it will just go into an uncontrolled flight,
00:46:24as a result, the Soviet aerostat barrier system was written off
00:46:28to scrap along with the Soviet Union, to say that this is
00:46:32archaic, that these are some kind of amusements of some
00:46:35old women, in fact, it's just to take it all.
00:46:40to raise, so to speak, the specialists who dealt with
00:46:43this, there are still officers,
00:46:46who, so to speak, are ready to fulfill their duty to
00:46:49the motherland, all this needs to be revived.
00:46:57The first attempt to shoot down cruise missiles in this
00:47:01way occurred in Yugoslavia in ninety-nine,
00:47:05aerostats were not used there, automotive
00:47:08cranes or classic tower cranes were used,
00:47:12they were placed along the valleys of rivers, and
00:47:16between these cranes they stretched, well,
00:47:19a simple metal net made of
00:47:22thin steel cable,
00:47:25in general, several cruise missiles
00:47:28were shot down after the bombing of Yugoslavia,
00:47:32cable barriers once again interested the Russian
00:47:35military. At the turn of the century, by order of the Ministry of Defense,
00:47:39an aerostat system against cruise missiles was developed
00:47:42based on modern materials and technologies,
00:47:46the barrier was tested at a training ground with a model of a Soviet
00:47:49cruise missile installed on a railway
00:47:52carriage, well, it was accelerated
00:47:56by a rocket booster, the entire carriage, then the carriage
00:48:00was braked, and the model left it and flew by
00:48:03inertia, that is, a large gunpowder
00:48:07slingshot, from which models were shot at
00:48:11nets, and what was the result? The result was
00:48:14that the model was destroyed, its wing was cut off, this
00:48:18was unexpected for both the military and the designers of cruise missiles,
00:48:22who before the tests openly laughed at
00:48:25the developers of aerostat barriers.
00:48:28"Guys, come on, what,
00:48:32the rocket will fly through this funny
00:48:35net, like a hot
00:48:39knife passes through a slice of
00:48:42butter, but in reality it turned out not to be quite
00:48:46so, the butter also showed
00:48:48itself, the knife suddenly broke, well, here..."
00:48:52it ended in nothing, the project was somehow classified,
00:48:55put on the shelf, and the most sad thing is that
00:48:59we in Russia do not have
00:49:03production of aerostat fabrics, that is, what
00:49:06is being built now is imported materials, it's
00:49:09China, Taiwan, Korea and other countries, unfortunately,
00:49:12Dolgoprudny KB Automation was responsible for this
00:49:15for a long time, they repeatedly
00:49:19conducted research work, but...
00:49:22there is no production of aerostat
00:49:25fabrics, on one fueling,
00:49:28aerostats can stay in the air for several
00:49:31days, then they just need to be released for
00:49:35gas refueling. Yes, the weather was heavy, there was
00:49:38heavy rain, so it needs
00:49:42to be refilled. Modern aerostats are usually filled with helium,
00:49:46a volatile and safe gas. The era of hydrogen airships
00:49:49ended in 1937.
00:50:01Germany in the USA, and during mooring 2000
00:50:05cubic meters of gas flared up like
00:50:07a candle. Under the wreckage of Hindenburg, in a hellish
00:50:11flame, 36
00:50:13people died.
00:50:19But the helium that replaced hydrogen is expensive.
00:50:23a scarce gas, so the developers of the barrier system decided
00:50:26to fill their aerostats with so-called phlegmatized
00:50:29hydrogen, a gas with the addition of special
00:50:33additives. The advantage of this hydrogen is that first - its
00:50:37price when refuelling,
00:50:40and the lifting force, according to calculations, will
00:50:44even be higher than that of helium, somewhere by 5 or 7%, but
00:50:48for large apparatuses this plays a significant role in gaining
00:50:52lifting force. That's it, refueling begins, supply
00:50:55hydrogen,
00:50:57the main advantage of this mixture, phlegmatized hydrogen, is that it is not
00:51:01flammable and not
00:51:01explosive,
00:51:05so from a machine gun you can shoot down this aerostat, it's
00:51:09very difficult to do, that is, when bullets hit,
00:51:12the shell will simply be pierced through and through, and the hydrogen
00:51:15will slowly escape from it, that is, it will not
00:51:19catch fire, it will not explode.
00:51:22That is, it will continue to hang until it loses, so to speak,
00:51:25its positive buoyancy in the air, and
00:51:29if a kamikaze drone crashes into it
00:51:31and explodes, for example, with 20 kg
00:51:34of explosives, the hole will be larger,
00:51:38it will tear the shell, and all the gas will escape from it very quickly,
00:51:42and accordingly it will fall, while
00:51:45the aerostat shell can be patched right in the field
00:51:48conditions, also on site in a mobile autovan unit.
00:51:52hydrogen itself is produced, water for
00:51:55electrolysis can be taken from a nearby river, the cost
00:51:59of producing hydrogen on site without taking into account capital costs
00:52:02for the installation will be approximately.
00:52:14To launch an aerostat barrier system with
00:52:17phlegmatized hydrogen costs approximately 800
00:52:21rubles and 3000 with helium, the difference
00:52:25is significant,
00:52:28aerostat systems can be placed on any transport
00:52:31vehicles, on pickups, on ATVs, on special
00:52:35all-terrain vehicles, anywhere we can inflate
00:52:38this aerostat with a small cylinder, raise
00:52:42the necessary payload to the desired height,
00:52:46and all this can be done very quickly and efficiently, descend and
00:52:50accordingly change its deployment location. Even on the smallest
00:52:53aerostats, a quite useful payload in battle can be hung,
00:52:57from radio signal amplifiers to surveillance
00:53:00cameras, the use of hydrogen
00:53:03is proposed to be expanded. From such a puddle, we can
00:53:07refuel 20 such aerostats. After attacks on
00:53:10oil refineries, the fuel shortage can be
00:53:14completely compensated by partially converting equipment to
00:53:17hydrogen. In South Korea, tanks are already being converted to
00:53:20hydrogen.
00:53:23But for now, the hydrogen revolution begins with aerostats and
00:53:27heavy hexacopters. Fuel cells that convert
00:53:30hydrogen into electrical current are of domestic production.
00:54:05refueling completed,
00:54:07with the umbilical cords tightened, the aerostats are once again
00:54:11brought out of the hangars for testing. These
00:54:15sky barriers were remembered, of course, not because
00:54:18the country had exhausted all means of protection against
00:54:22Ukrainian drones, on the contrary, there are plenty of
00:54:25various proposals and methods. Recently, we
00:54:28showed how super-modern combat
00:54:31laser systems burn enemy firepoints in the sky.
00:54:35There is a line of very effective kamikaze
00:54:38drones that are no less successfully shooting down
00:54:41drones, mobile groups of
00:54:44machine gunners and operators of
00:54:48anti-aircraft artillery
00:54:50installations selflessly repel
00:54:53air attacks, and missile systems like Pantsir are being produced more
00:54:57and more every month.
00:55:00Now all this is simply proposed to be combined with
00:55:03aerostat protection. The last
00:55:06meter,
00:55:08it definitely won't
00:55:10get worse.
00:55:18I saw information on TikTok about how to get to
00:55:21Ukraine.
00:55:29One of the ways for foreign mercenaries to join the ranks
00:55:33of the AFU is to contact the Ukrainian.
00:56:05suicidal orders, while AFU soldiers sit in their bunkers playing on their phones.
