Enhancing Ukraine’s firepower: Brigadier General Serhii Baranov interview | Part 1

On August 31st, President Zelensky announced the successful use of Ukrainian long-range missile, hitting a target 700 km away. “This is a completely new missile, and we will continue to enhance its capabilities in terms of range and accuracy,“ says Brigadier General Serhii Baranov, Chief of the Main Directorate of Missile Forces and Artillery, and Unmanned Systems at the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in an interview with the KYIV NOT KIEV project. Missile forces and artillery create many problems for the enemy. “The professionalism of our military allows us to hit a target with a 152 caliber shell from a distance of 28 kilometers, hitting the bullseye (in Ukrainian, the expression sounds like hitting the squirrel’s eye),“ General Baranov says with a faint smile. However, behind this jest lies a great deal of pride in the skill of Ukrainian artillerymen who adeptly master Western weapon models, successfully utilize them, and maintain them. What work precedes each cannon shot? What does Ukrainian artillery need to expedite the return of Crimea? What portion of artillery needs is supplied by Ukrainian defense industry? Find out in the first part of the interview with Tetiana Gaiduk and General Baranov. The second part will be released tomorrow.
