System , but the question is when these f16s will finally reach us and what kind of weapons they can take, in addition to aims120 amram and with the help of shortrange missiles such as 9 sinder the most productive missile that exists in nature, in the entire history since the end of the 50s her years make about 200 warheads and also up to 70 km aim7 missile, sparo will be very useful in the fight against helicopters including, again. We have to be patient and wait when aviation finally appears, another way, except portable antiaircraft Missile Systems or, lets say, such as avenger machines in a short radius of up to 7 km and other systems such as mistral, starstreak and so on, enough of them were handed over to us by our colleagues, there will be no struggle with these goals, especially in a strategic sense. And how far in general are these planes from the front line. From which these fabs, cabs are trying to reset, thats the whole point, that is, how is it that we just this , we just talked about it, the range of the task of a controlled strike, and if it is correct, if at all very correct, then it is not controlled, but corrected, then it doesnt matter and the same thing, there is an essential difference in these two military terms, the range of the task is 70 km, so if the bomb arrives along the demarcation line over a bridge or over something else, then we understand that how, that the plane must approach the demarcation line at 70 km, and as a rule, they still make this backlash for its own turn, then they add 5, 7, 10, well, every tactical situation and every combat sortie is really mathematics. Well, that is, basically, only new planes can do something about it now, thats right, in general, it would be fantastic if just 39 gripen appeared, gripen has the only plane in the world, no, sorry, not the only one, in the western world the only missile , which has. A hit of hits up to 300 km meteor, there is such a missile and the russians with r37, but they have problems with aiming, that is, they have a long range of 300 km, but in this air battle the most important thing is aiming, here, here lies the answer, and here the russians lose to the americans many times over, ugh, thank you, its clear, mykola, lets go back to the actual situation in the bakhmutu district, tell me so, well, there were reports that the wagnerites appeared there, someone else appeared, well, now i dont even want to ask you whether you saw them there, didnt you see them, rather im interested in something else, thats what what is happening there now is that the russians have brought in Additional Forces and are they trying, well, how to carry out such an attack, or are they engaged in defensive, exclusively defensive battles, how do you assess it . What is happening now is called an attempt to restore the position they lost, well, this is the command they are given, they say , gentlemen, they have lost their position, fight them back, uh, what they have brought there, some new types of meat, the wagnerites or Something Like that, well, the wagnerites did not disappear from there, so, in principle, when the now deceased prigozhin led his army to moscow, that does not mean that everyone left there, some remained, some went back there already after that action, so i wouldnt say its some sort of planned counteroperation to our offensive actions, it looks to me like just a, you know, Standard Army effort, after youre attacked, you have to counterattack, you must try to regain the lost. Positions before the thief had time to establish himself there , and i see in this now only such efforts, no more coordinated operation, so much more, Something Like that, what we did not see, what more than that, what we see every day, i dont watch, and these are what kind of attacks, these are attacks by small groups, these are attacks with the use of, there are tanks, what exactly what, or well, as it looks now, infantry, exclusively infantry, and artillery, their Armored Vehicles, well, now they are so intimidated by our halfbucket kamikazes that they are afraid to approach at all, the tanks are approaching. And they will practice from closed fire positions, and then, i would say, very, very frightened and very inaccurate, lets put it this way, simply perform the task, because it is, the landing of infantry also happens on a very a long distance, well, since Armored Vehicles are afraid to come closer, the experience is that when they cross a certain border, i wont say how many kilometers, it is immediately struck by pevidron, so the infantry has to walk very long distances, and actually during overcoming these stay away on foot, they become hostile to the same active drones for our artillery, well, i will not, if i may say so , emphasize attention, but we see everything, absolutely the entire area of responsibility, which is handed to us, is under constant, observation of our drones, is the railway like that, you know, well, a key boundary, or is it, in principle, to cross the railway there, there is still an opportunity to defend yourself, not so much, because further on we see a road there, which is for them in principle important for the supply of bahmut itself and this whole group, but how exactly in this plan, well, of course , the railway is important, the railway is such a certain manmade border that can be dug in, along which you can build defenses and along which the russians maintained their defenses. Definitely the fact that we entered it is actually a great achievement, because they defended, of course, very purposefully, and it was clear that they had no intention of giving it up easily or at all, so of course, the control of the railway, it facilitates the defense and creates , accordingly creates, if everything is organized correctly, a good classroom for the development of offensive actions and for continuing to move forward, but how do you assess now whether they even try to build some kind of, you know, serious line of defense there, when they are there, you know, they are digging, they are burying something, concrete, that s all, or is it not being talked about yet . Well, the russians are generally famous for the fact that they know how to dig well, they dig well, and in principle they dig constantly , and even during assaults, they have repeatedly observed when assaults are directly taking place, and the russian is digging, well, i dont know whats wrong with it happened to him, maybe he got a concussion and was performing the last function that he had in his head, or maybe he really wanted to somehow improve his shelter, so definitely, they dig, they are mining, they are preparing, and this is actually happening all the time, all the positions they get are constantly trying to attack, well, we wish you success, there, hold on, and advance, well, as much as possible, thank you, mykola volokhov, for coming to us joined, this is the commander of the air Reconnaissance Unit of ter as part of the third separate assault brigade in the district of bakhmut, and mr. Peter, lets see, well , we talked about bakhmut in principle, lets look at the south, where we have in pri. Such difficult enough attempts are underway to expand on this, well, i dont know how this is a breakthrough, a breakthrough that happened in the district robotino, and can it be said that there is now such a thing, you know, to a certain extent, well, its like a situation when there is some kind of balance between our forces and the enemy, and something additional is needed in order to shift this balance in one direction or another, because we know that the russians have driven enough large forces there, that is, they have added paratroopers there, they have added equipment there, they have everything they added there, there on this one narrow section of the front such a great force is concentrated, and how could it be possible to shift this balance , in fact, in general, your opinion is quite serviceable, correct, only i would. Name the word not balance, because balance is when we are entrenched, they are entrenched and we we endlessly exchange artillery, artillery strikes and no one moves anywhere, the artillery work just goes on and on, this is rather equal. Weight, here it would be more correct to use the term routine, everything turned into a routine, we really did what you called one such an interesting word, actually called a word bridgehead, the bridgehead is approximately 10 by 10 km, it is quite serious, quite good , what we have to understand about this socalled surovikin line, we are somewhere in the middle, that is , the first most difficult support line, where everything was strewn with mines, up to five mines and explosive devices per square meter, an incredible amount, nothing like this, there was no world war ii except for the iraniraq war, there and there, everything is also littered with mines, i saw it with my own eyes in 2004, and now we have entered the second line, the main line, right here now here very much heavy battles, i share the opinion of my young colleague that the russians really know how to dig, and here they have built a huge network of tunnels, chances, all kinds of trenches, dugouts, bunkers, pillboxes, equipped positions for artillery, for covert firing, artillery and the like, it will be very difficult to pass it, when it will be more fun and could everything go, 100 yes, if there was a sufficient amount of longrange, not even artillery, because the artillery has just enough longrange missiles to knock out at a distance of 100150 km all their logistics so that nothing reaches the front line, for the battle you need cartridges for small arms, for artillery you need shells, people need food, medicine, drinking water, and if at a distance, berdan berdyanskon in this or in this interval to knock out everything that moves, from railway echelons to banal, convoys with cars, then in a few weeks the situation has changed 100 in our favor, thats what we really lack, and look, when you look at the map, there is a way important point, height 166, for which. Constantly they say that fighting is going on, why is this point so important, can you explain . My comradeinarms, a colleague, let me call him that, as soon as he gave us all the right signal, i will support him, well, why, well, why analyze the point, well, you know, sometimes i even come to such not entirely pleasant emotions when such questions are asked, well we give intelligence to the enemy, well, then we wont, really, but look, we also know that russia. They are trying to build some new road now, as they reported along there mariupol, berdyansk, railway, why do they do it, why for them, well, it is important to do it, how would you rate it . Is here, there is a strategic rational grain here for them and it has several planes , but there is also strategic good news for us here, well, maybe good news, the russians realize that we can break through the southern. Front and reach the northern poazov me, that is, to conditionally establish myself somewhere, conditionally again, because i dont know how it will be, to establish myself somewhere in the region of the milky estuary and cut, cut the land border to the crimea, plus, plus what is called atakams, i dont know about him talkative, allegedly, as joe biden has already sanctioned it, so far we do not have such a solid qualitative confirmation, it can launch a strike up to 300 km, and from kirchi, lets say to gulyai field, 250 km, so these missiles are large. They can destroy the crimean bridge with one volley, it is the main logistical artery, so they, they think so , we will leave the eastern bridgehead, a little wear and tear, and this eastern bridgehead must be fed in some way, ammunition must be brought to it, and so on, everything what is needed, by trucks, not by road is transported and there are not enough roads in the sense that they consider it, a railway is needed, because, lets say, an ordinary kamaz takes 60 shells on board, and the same 50ton railway car takes 500 shells on board, well, there is a difference, and we understand that the echelon is not two, not three cars, it is dozens of cars, 3040, they counted it all and came to the conclusion that these arteries should be improved, that is, you know this here, twofold, twofold impressions or twofold assessment, on the one hand, this is a good signal for us, because they understand that south south is more likely to lose everything, and on the other hand, they are doing their best to do. Everything possible to keep the eastern plazdarm, that is, the old occupied territories plus mariupol, at any cost. Well, it also suggests that, well , if theyre going to have that artery, theyre going to be able to deliver it all faster, because the Railroad Still gives you that ability to deliver pretty quickly, as i understand it. Definitely a valid conclusion, but a sufficient number of atakams missiles can solve this problem. And how vulnerable this railway will be, well, lets say when they can build it, how much time is needed to build a railway, there are three months, im not such a tsen from transport technologies, but from the general, lets say, as happened in after the second world war, how quickly the soviet union and the wehrmacht troops laid the necessary arteries, it seems to me that with the potential that russia has, the one that is preserved in it, in the spring these Railway Networks may already be fully operational, and how vulnerable they will be , it is interesting, that is, how much can be said about the stability of the work of such and such an artery for the russians, i will go a little into military philosophy, there are no goals that cannot be achieved, do not exist in nature, the only question is in what way they are achieved, with what they are achieved and with what frequency, huh. , this is the audience and around there, like would you describe how, well, potentially, the events in those directions can develop like this, so very, so generally , i understood, you were showing the map, there are two big red spots and one gray or green, how is it shaded, this green spot , the green spot, it is the old occupation or the old demarcation line, i still do not understand how to pass it. I will explain with a very simple example, they cannot pass avdiivka and marienko, they cannot, why, because we 8 years it was seriously strengthened, and now lets do the exact opposite, but well they also strengthened their own, and in the part concerning the density of urban development, they have better, much better positions , a little bit of bahmut, they still havent fully taken it, the way they would like it, there are still points where we work, and the heights our. But they didnt come out of it that its a population of 70,000, well, i do, especially the western audience will understand me, its like a city of strays, and now we imagine donetsk , how serious a city it is, how concrete everything is there, how serious everything is there strengthened, and i emphasize, you are doing something military history, no one took donbas headon, no one, not even manstein, refused to dig in there, because he understood that cutting off logistics would be the end for him, and in russia everything is fine with the logistics of the donetsk conglomerate, so i cannot give an adequate answer yet , and what and how will happen there, there is strategic stability, there really is a real balance, a real balance that lasts the whole war from the moment of a fullscale invasion, in order to proceed to a serious analysis of this segment of the conduct of hostilities, must the Southern Front will collapse, and only then will we brainstorm what to do next with mariupol and donetsk, including, well, but in particular, the russians now have such attempts, you see, they are reactivating actions around avdiivka, they are very actively bombing avdiivka, they are very much counting on , judging by everything exactly what you and i have already talked about, that is, their guided air bombs are heavy, and the fact that they have become larger, well, that is, it is difficult to assess, i understand that it is difficult to assess. These their efforts, but as far as the russians from your point of view can great powers throw exactly, on this, on this task , as far as they have reserves, resources to try to achieve something in avdiivka, infantry resources were, are and will be, and where they will succeed, at what point, well, remember, the most important rule of all warriors without exception, without exception in all human history, war is a way of deception, and the ability to hide ones intentions is the highest art that only. Exists in the conduct of hostilities, therefore one must prepare for it and understand that there may be an intensification of hostilities anywhere, it may happen, but again in a strategic sense i emphasize the most important thing, we are in the state of the attacking side, this is a phenomenon in itself, the 15th army in the world in terms of potential, that is how we are calculated at the moment, attacking the second army of the world, i will not say that this is a rare case in history, there are such cases, the sixday war in israel, 1967, to be exact, the israelis literally in six days developed a giant Arab Coalition from a dozen and a half countries , they lost in everything, in a personal team of five they lost to their enemy, it is possible, but this is a rare phenomenon, as rule those who have a numerical advantage are advancing, we are exactly the opposite, we will analyze this historical phenomenon after the war, and look , in general, it is quite interesting, but there were a lot of them about two months ago. Well, they had such hopes and such expectations and public statements , this is kupyansk, we are moving towards kupyansk there, we have such an offensive on kupyansk, the offensive on kupyansk has already ended today. They started an offensive on avdiivka, this also shows something, it shows that in a strategic sense they are running out of steam, but most importantly, i am terribly im afraid i hear the narratives that, unfortunately, are sometimes raised on our copper platforms, that everything will be fine tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, a little bit more and everything will be fine, but no, war is existential, war is either us them, or they us us , well, there wont be a third, if we capitulate, we are guaranteed a genocide that will not befall anyones head. They will do it without fail, if they capitulate, then they will continue to live there in their swamps, no one will commit genocide against them, but there is the most important moment, the russian history of probably starting with the basils who were there in the 14th century, especially with the first tsar , the truly tyrant ivan the terrible, it is an endless tyranny of one person and no one there voluntarily leaves power. They never give up, they either die of old age or they are killed, a phenomenon like yeltsin, well, this is a huge rarity in their history, putin is fighting for his life to death, he is a relatively young man, he is absolutely healthy from a biological point of view , he perfectly understands, the military defeat in ukraine is complete, death to him, his they will be hanged, poisoned, his way will be successful, his heart will hurt and the like, he knows all this , so he will fight to the death, if it is necessary to kill 3 million russians in ukraine, he will kill them. Well, one should also not expect that they will calm down somehow due to the weather or the nature of the fighting, they may change to another quality, but they will not calm down in the near future, probably this can also be predicted by thought, intelligent thought, they are being modified, are being modified, the weather will partially pass, because heavy equipment will not drive on the ground, but the equipment can drive on roads, the network the road is high, we are destroying their artillery very successfully, that is, the fighting will be in the same tone as last winter, only in a slightly different performance in the tactical sense. Thank you, it was petro chirnyk, well, actually chronicles, wars, we will meet with you in a week, on this today we say goodbye to you, and the lesso tv channel continues its actual, well , work, watch, be with us. Greetings to all the viewers of the tv channel, iryna koval is in the studio and today i will talk with yaryna chernogus, she is a ukrainian poet, volunteer, soldier, marine an infantryman, a military medic, a scout of the armed forces of ukraine, a mother, and also a participant in this years lviv book forum. Mrs. Yaryna, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, madam. Yaryna, well, i want to start our conversation from the moment when your war began, because i read your biography, well, as far as i could find this information about you, it is quite interesting, you wanted to go to war in 2014 , but then they gave birth to a daughter, when they made a decision and when they were still able to go to the army in 2019, i joined the hospitallers battalion, in in 2020, she signed a contract in the marine corps, she did it primarily because she understood that there would most likely be a second phase, er, because she understood that the oblivion that existed about the war and about the soviet union in 2019 , in the 20s and 21s, were harassed into thinking. And about the fact that there will be consequences for this, that we will be attacked again, thats why i wanted to be ready for this, why the hospitalists . I left the hospitallers because, firstly, with Great Respect for yana zinkevich, and secondly, i was interested in trying the volunteer battalion, or the army, it really is mine, having worked there for from the armed forces, the first brigade with which i was, as a hospitalist, in the 19th year at the positions, it was the 36th marine infantry brigade, so i then decided to sign a contract with it with this type of army. And what can you say is different, now you can say your work from what it was . Well, of course, to be a soldier. The regular army and the volunteer unit are, well, especially during the soviet union, they are very Different Things in the army. You are completely, if you belong, yes, to the will of the commanders, you belong, to the tasks you have to perform, you are there an indefinite period of time, especially when it comes to such a fullscale war as it is now, you cant choose when to go or not to go on rotation, you do what you are told, you are at the disposal of me, in in principle, this restriction of freedom is normal, the only thing. That our battalion was two years without withdrawal on rotation, well, but after the restoration, i think we will work as before, in 2021, the number of women in the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine was about 30,000, with the start of a full scale invasion the number of military personnel in russia is increasing every day, and at the moment there are more than 4,100 women serving in the armed forces, but despite this, it can be said that our Ukrainian Army is not adapted to women, so everything has to be decided directly on the ground, and of course we all understand, that there are more important issues and needs that relate to the equipment, equipment, therefore, womens uniforms, shoes, life at the front, they recede into the background, i want to ask you, from the moment you left to serve. Already, when we speak directly to the military, not when you were in hospitals, and when you are now serving in the army, what were the main problems you faced and which you encountered . Well, i want to say that there are womens uniforms, shoes and thats all, these are not really important issues, because you can feel quite comfortable in mens clothes. Well, in my case, most of the clothes i wear are unisex clothes, that is, they are suitable for both men and women, military, the Biggest Issue was that, well, im talking about myself, many women can Say Something it was different for me whats more is that there is a restriction on the admission of women to combat positions, that is, you have no problems, well, no problems with problems, but maybe, but they will take a position there, i dont know, a signal soldier, ah, a combat medic, even possible as a drone pilot, yes, but if you want to be there, for example, in a mortar or in the calculation of the ags, uh, far from all units and types of troops are ready to do it, that is, with admission to combat positions, thats the only thing, and what is there, as it seems to me, now such a problem, and in relation to everything else, and every woman goes through the test to every unit she comes to to prove that she can work on a par with others, well, its a standard thing, if you re not ready for it, you dont have to go there, because tests will be everywhere, nowhere will be easy, that is, with everyday problems in you are not there, no, i even like army life, i cant say that there was something that worried me too much, although i was the only woman in the company all this time, but i didnt have any problems with life there, well, i just understood where i was going, if you go to the army in reconnaissance, reconnaissance company, well, there is nothing to hope that you will be very comfortable there, it is uncomfortable for everyone, both men and women, the only question is that you are allowed to do the work that you love and that gives you energy, well, thats it these permissions that you are talking about, on whom does it generally depend, on the commander, or why is this, the attitude towards women, in your opinion, well, in general , many officers of the older, especially the older generation, well, and not only the older, are there prejudice that because a woman physically, not as strong as a man, then she doesnt have, has, doesnt have, or. At least she has to hold some kind of position related to fire work or Something Like that. It used to be especially acute, now i am glad that i see some units where there are women in these positions, and it makes me incredibly happy, but i would like it to be more, of course, because for some reason they believe that a combat medic this is a job specifically for a woman, although
