How do schoolchildren live in the occupied villages . Lets see next september for children this is usually a happy or not so good start to school, but now because of the russian a fullscale invasion , not all ukrainian children sat down at their desks. This village of verbivka in kharkiv oblast is exactly in september. They threw rockets at the neighboring village at night with helicopters. On the sidelines, that is. Well , practically, we are with the children. Say now they are Walking Around the village, they didnt walk like that, the woman remembers how the shops and atms did not work, and the russians felt at home in the ukrainian village, they settled in the fields, in the city council, at the school, they set up their positions here. And when the time came to flee under the onslaught of the armed forces, so to speak farewell, they bombed the educational institution, they didnt have the graduation in kindergarten , which they were waiting for, they didnt have the first of september, which they were also waiting for, now even the smallest children are forced to study remotely , but no one will go to school in their native language, and in the neighboring vlach ravine suffered great destruction.

The Educational Program has ended, it was the first foreign visit of the north Korean Leader in the last four years, the supply of shells from north korea will not significantly affect russia, it is unlikely to have this is of great importance. Such a statement was made by the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the Russian Federation, general mark milley, who arrived at the nato meeting. According to him, the final meeting with putin will probably force the dprk to provide moscow with 152caliber projectiles, but it is not yet known how many and how quickly the crazy strike is curious.

Watch us on youtube. Welcome to the espresso channel. What does the word replicator mean . In my opinion, its something about the reproduction of a repetition of an already existing one. Also, this is the name of a new Pentagon Program announced by the us deputy secretary of defense ketley giggs. Now this program is being actively discussed by American Military industrialists and congressmen, the goal of the deployment of small drones in large numbers and in the shortest possible time in the American Army , marines, navy, and air force is given here is one quote from the speech of the deputy secretary of defense of the United States on this topic in ukraine we saw what inexpensive affordable systems can do not to mention their commercial technology they can help determined defenders stop a larger aggressor from achieving their goals allow have fewer people in the line of fire and can be produced, deployed and modernized with the speed of simple maintenance necessary for the army. So, the United States decided that the key element of American Defense in the near future will be a significant number of Autonomous Systems in various domains on the ground, in the water, in the air, in space, but this a certain emergency program, because the replicator is clearly focused on countering china, because as it was stated, the main advantage of china is mass , that is, more ships, more missiles, more people, so it was recognized that the best answer is to bet on innovation, and the most correct form of innovation is actually drones, which, together with means of communication intelligence or strike capabilities, provide this counterbalance to china in the near future , and against this background, i had a desire to discuss this the initiative of the United States and its extrapolation to the needs and capabilities of ukraine, because the army of our enemy the Russian Federation has a mass advantage over our armed forces, so what are our prerequisites efforts to start a kind of own replicator and how to scale what has already been done and became an impetus for the pentagon, we will talk about this in our military program with our ukrainian experts who have strong expertise and experience in this area. My name is serhiy zhorits, i am the director of an Information Consulting company of the defect express company, which together with the espresso channel strives to cover the most relevant trends in the field of security and defense, and now we are joined by denys longtailed he is a member of the Supervisory Board of the Ukrainian Startup Fund and the head of the unicorn nest company, mr. Deniso. I congratulate you. I am glad to see and hear the broadcast of the espresso channel and i am once again amazed at your beautiful plow on which you will answer our questions. What exactly is the purpose of the american Replicator Program and i would like to hear your evaluations of that, how adaptable is the approach for the ukrainian side , or can we also follow this path , relying on our capabilities, well, first of all we are already almost going this way, this way, but well, look, i could grow, these are startups for the last almost 20 years. I have been working and from the point of view of what we now have in our arsenal, it is not such hightech, hightech. Even if we look at the kamikaze drones that ours use and the hydroponics, well, this is almost a lowtrack in drones. Well, there is nothing there that would be, well, quite modern, but here it is, as in any startup, as they say in our industry better yet, innovation is Business Model innovation, and now we have an approach which uh, i use asymmetry, yes, that is, we have to use the cheapest tools that can cause great damage. Well, uh, when we look at the test. How much does even the most expensive drone cost and uh, what kind of equipment can it destroy . Well, for example our naval drones against ships that cost millions and tens of millions of dollars there, yes, here we can buy and produce a large number of trays of equipment, but to cause very great damage to the enemy is, firstly, secondly , such a methodology e justify what if this technique can be used by any er any person on the front yes well conditionally you can learn to control the espifihydron very quickly yes these are skills that need to be mastered but this one we are now talking about days and weeks versus er months and years if we are talking about, for example, f16, then we will use pilots whom we have trained for several years and now we will train them for several months, but we have instru well, not in us, but in any army that has started to use more modern ones the technique has the possibility to accept it very quickly at first and secondly, it has almost no countermeasures from the adversaries. Yes , they have fish and other protection, but on a massive scale this is not enough to implement. Well, we can use it in conditions of technological limitations of our adversary, and they have the opportunity to purchase these drones and to produce them and even a rocket but in very limited uh quantities and in our country, when we do not have economic and technological blockades and we have the help of our partners, we can produce it well, that is, this is an asymmetric approach and it is already working with it works. Yes, that is, if a drone at a price of 400 can destroy a tank at a price of several million, and that of tens of millions. M was not used and now they are firstly used and secondly they are used massively and this makes it possible to study their tactics and strategy of use and based on this our partners and we can build in new methods of fighting and even if military wars are somehow so absolutely true because in fact it is our practice that tested the hypothesis of the mass use of drones and was just the impetus for this Replicator Program that the us deputy secretary of defense spoke about, and now based on your experience as a person who has been involved in startups of various purposes for a long time now closer to military topics, what are the main problems now from the point of view of the promotion and development of military startups, are foreign business angels ready to invest in our military projects is one component of the question, and the second question is how to ensure the scaling of those solutions that, well, are considered breakthrough or effective, what are the main problems that exist in these two ets. Well, let me start with the second one. There will be a long answer, what i see is that i dont have a solution now , first of all, secondly, i dont have to influence it, thirdly, i dont see all the pictures together, yes. That is, these are my thoughts , which are exclusively mine. With which i see that our resources are enough restrictions but large uh scattered among a large number of projects that produce something yes we have projects well i met with more than 200 uh not companies but groups of people organizations or companies that produce anything that flies yes there somewhere close up to 300, more than 200, but no, not 300, but an approach to 300. So there is a different amount of solutions and uh, money that is from state volunteers and in commercial institutions, including investors, is scattered over a large number of projects uh, and this is a problem because if we had an unlimited market well for example, there are startups in china, of which there are literally millions , and they are fighting for a large amount of money and so on, but in our country, the ministry of defense is one. We have several powerful donors who, well, there are funds heard about plants, you know. So even now we have a problem that ah, i would now choose several solutions that have shown themselves very well on the battlefield, and i would finance their powerful scaling. What i see now, i see now, thats enough er, the attraction of funding by projects that have just started on aand they will start ere the road which way several dozens of startups have already passed and achieved something. So, it seems to me that now there is no balance and no, lets say a lack of synchronization. And the lack of a strategy for what, how do we produce it is the main problem, on the one hand, on the other hand, i would not now i would risk building a large enterprise for the production of drones of any military equipment. There were risks that this one would fly something. And if they were to be built in protected areas. Air defense very works well if there will be a motivation to attack more densely with rockets or er scooters with these yes that will be a Security Risk and if they are built separately then it will be impossible to protect them but we have a problem with scaling, we already have products that have shown themselves very well and uh, i know several companies, several teams that are now trying to build production in poland or the Czech Republic or the baltic countries so that they would be there in conditional danger and be able to supply already produced equipment to the front. The answer to the first question is actually very unpleasant and i am very pessimistic here now because most of the investors i talk to say that the absolute majority and probably 100 of startups in our country working for the war will end when the war ends and this is a problem for them, because the only customer now, well, we have a conditional one, the ministry of defense. Well, okay, not the ministry of defense, but the needs of our military, yes, they are financed by the ministry of defense, volunteer funds and other organizations , but when the war ends, these orders will disappear even if we invest now, this is what investors tell me. If we invest in such companies, we will lose money, thats why they want to finance companies that have prospects on global markets. And what would it be like to have promising Global Companies in the markets, in addition to engineers and production, they need two things. The first is compliance with International Military standards. Yes, and this is very commercial production. Well, for example, we calculated for one startup that spent half a Million Dollars on the development regime, what to do to them what they are doing, but in accordance with International Military standards, they need to invest another 2 Million Dollars, and they hesitated for a long time and decided that they would spend these 2 Million Dollars on the production of what they already have, so that it is right now destroying the muscovite
