PUNK ROCK STAR SHOOTS DOWN RUSSIAN SHAHEDS! The truth about Hatespeech band leader Dmytro Odnorozhenko in the AFU

Speaker 1

Rapids you roam in the field, will give to the sea,

Speaker 1

When power does not come here, we go, as

Speaker 2

Dmytro Odnorozhenko, Gate Speech. Today in the program "What Kind of Gun?". Greetings, Dmytro! Hello, buddy. Let's pretend, why only… I just sneaked up from behind, and you didn't see me. We know that you have a very "charged" firearm unit. We'd like to talk about what you're fighting with. Here, buddy, I was on display. My friend, as it's stated in my military ID, it's essentially a Kalashnikov rifle. Yes, a 1964 model. Quite vintage, but… May I? In very good condition. Just very carefully, because as you can see, it's not simple, it's modified… And respect for the age, again. Once again, yes. First, in the program "What Kind of Gun?", a Kalashnikov rifle. Which one? Which one? Well, black, fuck, don't you see it yet. Holy shit. Well, you obviously don't remember, Serhiy. Of course, we don't need those stereotypical jokes about drone operators. We know everything. It's a fairly non-trivial weapon. In principle, you can shoot things down with it. I don't know if anyone has already done it, but I think specifically with this one, you can shoot something down. Well, there are legends that such a Sukrovla Toraketovska. Of course, we've seen all those videos.

Speaker 3

We have contact!

Speaker 1

Bitch.

Speaker 3

Yes, fuck, my radio, hit her, bitch.

Speaker 2

Do you want to try? Of course. Please. There are plenty of rounds here. Everyone, always treat weapons responsibly. I dare not fire unaccounted-for imaginary cartridges of the "Darknode" battalion, so a control trigger pull in a safe direction, safety on. We put everything like this. In "Darknode," they issue guns like these. I think they issue such guns everywhere. As for those who buy something for themselves, that's a personal story. We have shotguns that we carry with us, just in case. If there is a certain danger from the air, smaller than usual, let's say. But mainly, yes, by default you have a paddle, a shotgun, and that's all. And in terms of small arms. We work with slightly different means. Ms. Dovanove, "Mitro," "Hatespeech," "Odnorozhenko," a serviceman of the "Darknode" battalion of the 412th brigade of the "Nemesis" unmanned systems forces. Enough.

Speaker 4

Dmytro,

Speaker 2

What tools do you use? More often? We actually have a whole zoo. We have it in the shot right now; we're breaking the fourth wall, right? We'll be honest with your viewers. This is just the first tool that we could bring and show. For example, the Zirka, a drone interceptor, which… has proven itself quite well. In reality, when five jets just flew over us, it might not catch them, but overall, this specific version has a pretty good track record. And, essentially, this is what you fight with, what you launch. Basically, yes, instead of a Kalashnikov, you see, it's not a bullet that flies, but something of a similar type. It doesn't necessarily have to be a copter; it could be an aircraft-type product. It could be a smaller model than the Zirka itself, because it's quite massive for a copter. Nonetheless, there is a whole collection of already tested means, and they are now, as we understand, being updated, new generations are emerging for new targets, for new challenges. In current application, like, is this a real Shahed-killer for those with internal combustion engines? ICE, yes. But? Progress is moving fast. We are already surrounding. The Shahed is ICE, the Shahed is ordinary. How quickly will we talk about the Zirka in the same way we talk about the Kalashnikov assault rifle in terms of fighting the Shahed? Oh,

Speaker 3

What a good question, Serhiy. This is still very relevant.

Speaker 2

blinding, like all the others we work with. Regardless of what we see now, the Russians are actually reformatting to jet-powered ones. A week ago, maybe a little more, 8-9 days, there was a massive attack. The ratio of ICE to jet ones was one to one, maybe even more ICE ones. And our BAT took down ordinary Shaheds this night. More than 100 ICE ones in one night. And the fact that, like, in Kyiv they didn't hear the sound of the ICE, is, in principle, a certain merit of our guys' work. I think that this thing, it will work, it's just that our bestiary is expanding even further. This complicates our work in general. You need, like, to be able to do everything, to be able to

Speaker 3

on everything.

Speaker 2

A workhorse, but not the newest; we wouldn't dare show the newest. You would see us standing and looking at a black blurred phallic-shaped thing. But actually, is there guidance installed here? Yes. I could mention it now, but I think that currently, most means have guidance. Everything is moving toward the point where the job of the pilot and navigator is to get the drone as close as possible to the target, into the sector where the target actually passes, and then it should be left to the automation. Well, that sounds beautiful in the books. In reality, the human factor is still very significant. Is this the camera revolution? Yes. In fact, the human factor doesn't go anywhere; it's very significant. And the responsibility, and essentially the finale, always remains with the person. Even if it's automated. If we are talking about manual work, and for example, a jet Shahed and a jet interceptor clash, where speeds would be around 500-600 kilometers, is it really possible to hunt it down manually? Off-camera, we saw a video where the guys on an ordinary device approach a fifth facet, which is twice as fast as the ordinary copter we work with, and almost take the target head-on. If all circumstances align, and the skills of the pilot and the navigators are such that they can do it, then it could be shot down even without a jet one. But this is, like, from the category of isolated cases. Overall, this undoubtedly all comes down to the skill of the pilot and the entire team's type. But, like, we are currently working on implementing new solutions that are faster, that will catch up. We need to have not only the same speed as the target. We need to have speed with a margin, so that we catch up and destroy them. Therefore, it is not that simple.

Speaker 3

And when did you join the army, did you mobilize specifically for

Speaker 2

"darkno", exactly

Speaker 3

specifically here, when it still sounded fantastical.

Speaker 2

Specifically for "darkno" would also be slightly untrue, because it's specifically for interception, rather. But I am glad that I joined this team specifically and that we are working right here.

Speaker 5

We recorded an interview with you, it is on "Armia Media", and when you had just joined,

Speaker 2

You're like… Yeah, I'm sitting there, eyes shining. Eyes shining, you're so super inspired. By now you've already taken down a bunch of Shaheds, done a lot of things. How do you feel now, how's the mood? Well, you know, many people are on antidepressants now. Precisely because, to put it bluntly, jet drones are now fucking up both the capital and not just the capital. When I first started the job, it was easier, because the targets were moving more or less at the same altitude, which allowed for good performance. They were moving linearly-straight, and, like, it consisted of correctly engaging the target, and it didn't seem like something overly complex. After that, the Russians made modules that allow the drone to dodge, like on the reconnaissance ones. This worked before, now it's on the Shaheds. They made it so the target flies very low, so that it just catches on trees or ridges. They added acceleration. I mean, now a regular turbofan, it's significantly larger and significantly faster. Same with our usual Shahed, which we've figured out again, it's much faster than it was a year ago. So these constant changes are what we're stewing in, living every day, sitting there figuring something out, scouting it out. It's not something extraordinary, you know. It's the kind of field where you can't be an expert for more than a week. The "What a Gun" program – what else is cool about it is that it's super aesthetic. Then in shooting from the gun, actually, the one we are demonstrating. It so happened that we are now in a place where… And they are shooting constantly around us. We won't be able to shoot from this one, because here we have… Unfortunately.

Speaker 1

Dmytro

Speaker 2

brought cartridges. Brought a lot of ammunition. We could have added everything in post-production for you. On the neck, like, I'm shooting down a Shahed with a Kalash. It would have been quite good. But, dear viewers, as you can see, these circles, these lights, so now Dmytro will be flying on the star. Fucking up the airframe, yes. He will be flying on the star because of them and show how it speeds. Can we? Yes, of course not. Well, like, we could have fucked up the airframe here, just for the transition, you know. If your production covered this asset. But it wasn't settled for us, I think we need to return it so it can fly further and do its job. Not painful, like a church choir, like everything else. So we're doing the fourth wall. Because this, and we move the airframe out of the frame. And what's in the Shahed

Speaker 6

camera? Because I thought, there

Speaker 2

Not an analogue. And a Gerbera was flying over Mesht. And it flew exactly the same way as that Shahed in this story. Very low and right at us. I decided that we needed to disperse. Instead of firing the Kalash, I still reproach myself for it. No kidding. And I run. So from it, obviously, six and the other didn't shoot, didn't show up. I have a flashlight like one from a teen. It flies off somewhere to the side. I run. And the most terrible thing that could have happened to me. It continues to come straight at me. Instead of going against the course, I run somewhere along the plantations. And, in short, at that moment, a sneaker flies off me. And I'm left without a boot and without a flashlight. And I run and turn my head. And you ask, what camera? Very fucking great, because it's as huge as a disco ball. There's a gimbal like that on it. You can see it perfectly. I think, fuck, somewhere some Rubicon has a video where I'm just, like this, with a stupid little gait, without a sneaker and without a flashlight, and what, you say, one camera, between networks, let's move away from this scientific stuff, from the complex thing. And just sit in the sauna. And go back to reality. The question is, you shoot down Shaheds, why are you here at the interview now, you could just get 400 thousand, take some stars now, and blow it all.

Speaker 5

them around Kyiv.

Speaker 2

And even when a Shahed is flying, you'll all lift them up at once, like a human shield. Why not shoot them all down? Good idea. We'll have to implement it after we record. Why can't we? Can we? I think we can. We need to try to do this, dude. 400 thousand – that sounds like a pretty unrealistic figure. Just meth to the soul now for many people who are raging on the mainland. We'll make a row of stars. We'll make some kind of combined system: stars, istings, and dicks. We'll make everything in one. They, like those Chinese ones, well, why Chinese? One that will just stand there with a shield, and against it they will… That's a good idea. For some people, your service is significantly harder than my rear-area life. Because you, in general, shoot down, you're chilling somewhere in comfort. You sit on the truck bed, somewhere there, yeah. You fly, you enjoy it. While even I, when I go east to stomp on something, there's mud. And this is the simplest thing there is, a Shahed-drone with homing. Got mobilized, pressed a button, killed a Shahed. True. No, we aren't sitting in Kyiv. It's scary in Kyiv. Now in Kyiv they shoot and bomb a lot. We decided after all that we need to move somehow toward safety. And that's why I mostly travel toward Mukachevo now. And I have a PTD-thingy there, I fly from there. It's very easy, really. I invite everyone to try. It's, in principle, literally like a month. Back and forth, arrived without a military ID, and that's it, and you're enjoying yourself.

Speaker 6

We won't shoot the Kalash today.

Speaker 2

This is, I think, for fuck's sake. Shall we fly to Ziruchsk? Come over, let's fly, but not here. But these poignant moments, which aren't just half-baked flights, we can give a little bit to our viewers today. Just a little. There's too much fucking around, we're not flying enough. Thanks to the friends from Vyriy who gave 20 wonderful drones, which I hope will survive.

Speaker 5

They took off. First, the pilots must fly through a frame. Then, pass through three rings in turn, which are arranged in a row at different heights. Later, zip through another frame and after that fly around a tank, passing through each ring around it. Ali should then pass through three more frames in turn and land at the starting point. It looks easy, but it only looks that way. Especially considering that neither Serhiy nor Dmytro are FPV pilots.

Speaker 2

We decided that we would fly with Dmytro for a while, so that everything would be fair. This will simply be the messiest episode of this show. That's extra time, everything crashed again for me. It's just old age, Serhiy.

Speaker 3

Such

Speaker 2

Jokes, it's age. Well, I'm catching up, catching up.

Speaker 3

to you. Well, Dmytro, hockey, of course. Everything will be just fine.

Speaker 2

Oh, there's a picture, nice. Yeah, oh, I have a picture. Super. Well, let's go. I'll go first.

Speaker 3

Well, go ahead. Right, that's it,

Speaker 2

Everyone clear of the propeller. Attention, attention, arm.

Speaker 4

On your marks, get set, go!

Speaker 2

There is time. Friends, don't be amused by what is happening with me right now. It is somehow lagging,

Speaker 3

to stop.

Speaker 2

All good? Go for it. It's completing the first lap. Come on, come on, come on, scinku, come on, forward. Don't be afraid, it's tilsye. Whoa. Second lap. Commentators will write to us that these drones are not at the front, and you've already shown why…

Speaker 5

drones.

Speaker 2

Viri gave us the drones, and they no longer release visinki, we got them from a deep basement. How the fuck it hits. Bam. How the fuck it hits, my god! How does it do that. This is my first time flying. I watched video lessons, it flies like a pro on ichudy. Video lessons, flies like a pro on ichudy. In your responder it's already been 8 minutes. Ta-ta-ta-ta

Speaker 1

-and

Speaker 2

Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop. I just… It can be later at the end, if you straighten the drone. I understood, I'll remove it, and you jump with your legs over the ends. And what else now? Is this the redirect square? Yes. Some kind of pictures like that. Yes. And here is the square in front of you. Go ahead. Record 12 seconds. 12, 14 are ticking… You come here. And we land on the central one. And you land on the central one. Landing, well that's the hardest part. It's good that in our work there is no such problem. The best. Stop.

Speaker 4

Velina 50.

Speaker 2

Attention, disarm the TNT above. Actually, it doesn't work on this one. Well, probably because it fell on concrete, as a possibility. I think it fell on concrete.

Speaker 4

On your marks, get set, go!

Speaker 2

Tima not only water. Little square. Now right circle and U-turn. Top one

Speaker 2

And a turn. Lower circle. Left, meaning, left from Vyriy. Yeah, super. The figure-eight, of course, isn't easy, but the figure-eight jumps in a circle. Normal, yeah. Dmytro, these clicks in the square. Dmytro, I don't know, by the way, what to wash, right now I want to ask, how about we write a fidze? Yes, let's. Like this, you turn, fly through this. This, yes. Because I, as a beginning musician, need… Don't bullshit. Fuck.

Speaker 1

Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 2

Fuck, that's a despicable tactic, bro.

Speaker 1

That's all

Speaker 2

It was going fucking great, fuck. To me, as a beginning musician, don't bullshit me. Dmytro, well it was already 2 minutes 26 there. Yes, it was somewhere around 3 minutes there, I saw, yeah. We'll do everything now. To be honest, I just thought that you were super happily calm and we, that you were taking it easy and responding, and just breezing through it all.

Speaker 5

It is worth noting,

Speaker 2

Well, this is an important disclaimer, neither Dmitry nor professional FPV pilots. Amateurs are working carefully. I am actually a military television journalist, and Dmitry has gotten used to… And I'm just sitting in Kyiv. Until the knife guidance, there it flew, Petro, a rocket just flew. Alive? No, damn it. Transmission, drone destroyers. Now I'll go and assemble mine. The wrecked one.

Speaker 1

Znesloki

Speaker 2

bets, you know, it's

Speaker 3

not to you

Speaker 2

shooting down a Shahed. Of course, of course. What specifically does this case teach us? Don't rush. No one needs haste. Join Darknout. This is also very important. Subscribe to "What kind of gun?". To "Army Media". Look. And, in general, write in the comments how you like it, because we usually shoot and shoot. Today, you see, we fly and fly. Although purely kinetically, a battery, which might catch fire now, a lithium-ion one, will burn brighter than if we were shooting tracers somewhere on a dry training ground.

Speaker 6

On your marks! Get set! Go!

Speaker 2

First square. This is super! From the side it might easily look like that, but there's this little stove and this square. Just from your angle, the way we're filming, it seems like they are big, but they are small. But the image is freezing a bit. Yeah, it's freezing, yes. Well, like, I think it's only me, but… No, no. Enough! You are a person whose weapon is singing, among other things. I love it when this… Our cultural war.

Speaker 3

No,

Speaker 1

no.

Speaker 2

Microphone on the automatic rifle. Oh, fuck! Do you see?

Speaker 2

Our operator is working in close proximity to the FPV drone. He knows what it is. Phew! This one, right? Enough! This one? No, no, don't touch this one.

Speaker 3

This one next?

Speaker 2

There won't be any for them. I don't see any either.

Speaker 3

This one here is good.

Speaker 2

Yeah, and that one, right? And the big, yellow one. And your favorite cardboard, which runs away from you. Or the one that you like.

Speaker 6

Golina 23.

Speaker 2

Here, take this one. Come on, come on, little screen. Damn, if only it would fly there. Well, give it a try. Weight, arm!

Speaker 6

On your marks! Get set! Go!

Speaker 2

A drop right, right in the palm of the hand like that. What is this? Don't give up, these are glasses. Do you have a feeling that our race won't go very well? A pensioner's race. Just do it on X4 later. Good! And do you see? Did you install this, this little manipulator? I'm unlikely to beat your times now? If you see the same thing as I do, you're about to get screwed. In our viewer, we fly on 15-inch drones. That's true, with gimbals. I even read about a 15.5-inch tank. Rem in Kyiv is fucking up, with Serhiy you can't see anything at all. The picture is dropping out, the batteries are dying. Drops

Speaker 3

raindrops are falling on the palms, even on tiny palms, I would say.

Speaker 2

And here, viewer, I just want you to appreciate how cool it is in the killhouse, what a beautiful tank. It's so beautiful here. I just don't even want to rush. I want to stop and enjoy this beauty. Just look, every detail is well-crafted. In short, to fly, you have to fly, and not just sit there like this. To live, you have to live. We're passing through this little body too. It's fine, you'll reach the loot. Yes, this is something stupid, this square that's there… Yes, in front of you. The most dangerous one. I don't see him at all. But he sees you, he's right in front of you.

Speaker 3

Well, that's it then, we're diving in. Dmytromii Navigator.

Speaker 2

Oh, oh,

Speaker 2

Oh. To the left. And am I flying in our direction? Yes, yes, as he says. Twenty left. Plus, we're going by instruments. Twenty left. You mean this one? Yes, yes, yes. We are a team. Now we'll take him. Good, there's a picture, go ahead. No, you have it, I don't. Nanyukh. And this one later, right? Yes, the last one. For the first time, the program "What Kind of Drone?" is coming out on "Army Media". That's how it turns out, yes. Congrats on the debut? For you. I'll give a speech right away. And what did you think? Wow, no way. But how could he not get through like that? Ooo. What kind of svibon program is this? This is a separate one. I mean. We are planning for a 2028 start. Release. Next year, Lipko. Medlstrike, then, fuck. And for time, whoever flies into the refinery faster wins. I don't have some kind of prize. I already gave it to you, but we won't show it. Yes. We won't show it. If you want to find out what the prize is, come to the offline recordings of the program "What Kind of Gun?". There's nothing. Nobody will come. Of course. In the end, it's secret. Mobilize, join in. And we'll come and film a review of you. That's all.
