00:00Thanks to the sanctions imposed back in 2014, numerous accidents of Russian origin occur in Russia.
00:06human, and that's even before Ukraine has begun attacking the Russian energy sector. The expert
00:13Military officer Sergei Gravsky spoke about this on the program Fábrica de Noticias, noting that
00:19Even attacks by defense forces against Russian transformers could provoke
00:24Power outages in Russia this winter. When a transformer is hit, no one can shut it down for 72 hours.
00:32Ultimately, it's between 3 and 5 tons of oil that must be completely consumed. The water
00:39It doesn't work
00:39You're welcome. The oil will float. Foam, especially in winter, is a problem. Cover it with dirt.
00:46It is also incredibly difficult, he noted. The expert added that Ukraine can survive
00:52temperatures are quite low thanks to the use of alternative energy sources and the local climate
00:58at our latitude. In Ukraine it's already between -5 and -7 degrees Celsius, which is quite a lot.
01:05low. So imagine what would happen if the transformers in the Russian Federation failed,
01:11Gravsky said. He added that average winter temperatures in Russia can range from -20
01:17degrees Celsius and minus 30 degrees Celsius. And if a transformer burns for three days and then
01:24It requires another week of repairs, which could have critical consequences.
01:30What does a week without electricity mean? What will happen to the sewage systems and
01:36"Water supply, which barely works anymore?" the expert pointed out. He explained that the system's peculiarity...
01:43Ukraine's electrical system was specifically designed to function in the event of a
01:48Nuclear war. It is quite dense and flexible, something that cannot be said of needs.
01:54specific to the electricity supply in the Russian interior. Nobody is going to attack Moscow. It doesn't have
02:00That makes sense. But destroying transformers is a trivial task for the current Ukrainian army. And an attempt
02:07Cutting off our electricity supply would have repercussions in the Russian Federation, with a much more significant impact.
02:14serious, Gravsky added. He also noted that these types of attacks would not pose a problem for
02:20Ukraine. Proof of this is that a Ukrainian Flamingo cruise missile has already been sighted several hundred kilometers away.
02:27kilometers from the contact line. What is the Flamingo? I call it a product of war. It's a
02:34a relatively quiet aerial target that uses an engine from an older aircraft. Consequently,
02:41Its speed is low. And its appearance reminds me of something the Soviet Union used for
02:46train air defense crews. Speaking of the Ukrainian situation, take any
02:52Statistics on cruise missiles and you will see that a cruise missile rarely even reaches kyiv.
02:58Why? Because Ukraine has been actively using aircraft that engage these missiles.
03:03Lately, Grafsky said. In this context, he noted that the appearance of the Flamingo to a
03:10A distance of more than 500-600 kilometers from the border indicates problems in the defense system
03:17Russian airspace. Up to 400 kilometers is disputed airspace, where Russian aircraft operate.
03:24Caution to avoid being destroyed. But beyond 500-600 kilometers, what difficulty is there in
03:32How do you take down a slow-moving target that anyone can film? It's the detail of its movements. The
03:38The Russian Federation has what is called a focal air defense, which is not capable of
