The article deals with the main provisions that are being investigated within the framework of the research work “Development of the methodology for conducting forensic military examinations related to the level of defence capability of the state”. The authors investigate the inconsistency between the Strategic Planning of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Defence Planning measures conducted in the country during 1991-2014. In order to restore military registration throughout the country in 2016, district (city) MC were further formed in administrative-territorial units of the district type, where they were reduced in previous years. Thus, one of the main indicators of the mobilization readiness of the MC is their real capacity for the full and timely deployment of mobilization resources to the troops. However, the results of the implementation of the MC tasks for lifting and submitting part of the mobilization resources during 1-6 phases of partial mobilization in 2014-2015, confirm the existence of significant problems and inconsistencies between the real and necessary capabilities of the MC to fulfil the assigned tasks. In the opinion of the authors of the article, the necessary and necessary techniques for conducting judicial military examinations, which are an important tool for objective evaluation of actions (inaction) of military officials (commanders, commanders, commanders, commanders) in matters of construction, development, training and implementation of the AF, are needed and required. The establishment of a causal link between the violations by the abovementioned officials of the requirements of the current legislation and the occurrence of grave consequences related to the death of personnel, the loss of arms, military equipment, material means, etc.

Abstract The power of the Security Council to adopt military measures for the maintenance of international peace and security has never been implemented as originally envisaged by the text of the UN Charter. The Council never acquired armed forces permanently at its disposal and under its command and control and it adopted the practice of authorisation of force leaving coalitions of willing States or regional organisations to implement it by conducting an operation under their command and resources with minimum control by the Council. The mandate of the operation in an enabling resolution is in principle a safeguard against abuse but its interpretation lies primarily (but not exclusively) with the participating States. The SC action in Libya intended to protect civilians (humanitarian intervention). Moreover, it revealed the real dimensions of humanitarian intervention and the vagaries of responsibility to protect: a suspension of the substance of Article 2(4).

The perception of the Ilovaisk tragedy of 2014 in the discourse of Ukrainian public opinion is analyzed. The tragedy («Ilovaisk cattle») was in surrounding a group of Ukrainian troops about 1,200 soldiers by the regular units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (RF Armed Forces) and Russian terrorist groups near Ilovaisk, Donetsk region. While leaving the «cattle» through the humanitarian corridor, the Ukrainian soldiers came under shelling by the Russian side. Pro-government circles saw among the causes of such a tragic situation the treachery of the Russian leadership. Previously having agreed with Kyiv that it would release Ukrainian fighters from the encirclement, it eventually committed the shootings. Another reason was the betrayal of some Ukrainian soldiers who deserted from defensive positions, creating for the enemy favorable conditions to encircle. The participants of the events, experts, media partly accused the Ukrainian state and military leadership of inertia, passivity, and ignoring reports about the need for reinforcements. However, some military analysts acknowledged that the Ukrainian military command had done everything possible in the circumstances. Along with Russian intervention as the main part in the Ilovaisk tragedy, some experts saw a benefit for some Ukrainian politicians, as the constant threat factor could be used in the run-up canvassing to the October 2014 snap parliamentary elections. Finally, the criminal case concerning the Ilovaisk tragedy, which continues up today, has already been assessed by the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine (GPU). According to assessment, the deaths of Ukrainian soldiers and the loss of weapons and military equipment near Ilovaisk were directly connected with the actions of the RF Armed Forces, which on August 23-24, 2014, treacherously invaded the Donetsk region and murdered Ukrainian soldiers. It was concluded that the Ilovaisk tragedy had not only hard military but also political consequences for the country, in particular, due to the adoption of the Minsk agreements under the pressure of the tragedy, which showed itself in an imperfect «truce», which, was repeatedly violated by the enemy. Keywords: Ilovaisk tragedy, Ukrainian public opinion, politicum, mass media, expert circles, Ukraine, Russia.

In the current context of warfighting electronic warfare is crucial for both sides of the conflict. Donetsk and Luhansk regions have become a kind of springboard for testing and application of multifunctional electronic warfare (EW) systems and platforms. The urgency of creating multifunctional EW systems lies in the need to solve the problem of protection of troops, control points, armament and military equipment from UAV air reconnaissance, protection from weapons, as well as disorganization of enemy‟s command and control by jamming its radioelectronic means. The development and passing into service of modern highly effective multifunctional EW systems requires continuous monitoring of the current state of their development in the Armed Forces of advanced countries. Developers from around the world present multifunctional EW systems annualy. The newest means of EW of the Russian Federation are considered and their comparative analysis is carried out. Conclusions are made on the possibility of interdiction of their work in areas of operations. The directions of operational efficiency improvement of the Ukrainian EW systems are offered. The analysis of trends in the development of EW and the latest command and control systems of the world's leading countries indicates the need to review traditional approaches to EW in the armed struggle of nowdays and the future. Therefore, the problem of bringing the state and level of development of EW to the requirements of the future wars is acute for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, taking into account the asymmetric and advanced nature of EW technology development in the world. The urgency of the research lies in acquaintance with modern achievements and directions for the development of EW systems used by the enemy.

The article analyzes the peculiarities of translation of military terminology in the works of fiction because the terminology is a separate lexical category, which, despite the requirements of unambiguity, accuracy, consistency, and independence from the context, quite dynamic and actively developing. At this stage in the development of society, military terminology is constantly being added to new lexical units and is becoming more consuming. This is due to the intensification of military conflicts in the world, which are covered every day in the domestic and English language media, including in the text discourse. That is why it became necessary to study in detail the peculiarities of translation of military terms in fiction works. In particular, attention should be paid to the classification of military terminology by branches and types of armed forces, by types of military equipment, as well as to the organizational terminology, staff, military-political, command-and-control and military-topographical, based on which the appropriate methods of translation of military terms in the works of art will be presented. The complexity of translating military terms in fiction can be a phenomenon such as the ambiguity of the term. That is why for adequate translation of a term it is necessary to determine its belonging to a certain terminological system. As a result, it is certified that the term is translated by an appropriate term in another language, so such techniques as search for an analog, synonymous replacement, descriptive translation are used when there is no equivalent in the language to translate the term. At the same time, methods of translation of military terms in works of fiction, among which: transcription, transliteration, calculus, descriptive method, were considered. Besides, a transformational method of translation was considered, which includes such techniques as modulation, generalization, concretization, antonymous translation, compensation, omission, addition. To achieve adequacy and equivalence in the translation of terms in works of fiction, the translator must skillfully use all the most common methods of translation or so-called translation transformations, which are key methods for creating an adequate translation.

Drawing on the yet unknown to researchers documents from the fonds of the Russian State Military Archive, the author assesses the qualification of the designated and cadre personnel of the Red Army tank troops in late 1930s. The peculiarity of documents involved is that they are reports of the NKVD special departments, which in addition to their direct duties informed the national command authority of the real circumstances in the armed forces. At this, the attention of special departments was focused on the shortcomings and disqualification of the units and formations command. The article examines reports of the special department for the Leningrad Military District, which informed the national military authority of the virtual disruption of the tank reserve commanders training and of failures in the maneuvers of regular units. The events of September 1939, associated with the campaign in Eastern Poland, demonstrated true levels of the Red Army combat efficiency. This was especially the case of designated personnel and equipment mobilization and of reserve soldiers and commanders qualification. Analysis of the reports on the armored troops’ field activity reveals acute problems of command and control over the armed forces interactions with the national economic enterprises in the process of mobilization. The mobilization dragged on. The troops received useless tractors, automobiles and supporting means, and ill-trained personnel, and thus the effectiveness of units and formations was thwarted. These flaws in aggregate sprang from the Red Army command underestimating the complexity of mobilization and training of both reserve and cadre personnel of the Army units and formations. However, reporting documents on the performance in Poland showed optimism and gave assurances in the Army power to execute any order, which could but confuse the Soviet leaders’ assessment of war preparedness.
