[0:25] That's not going over the target.
[0:25] I'm just, I'm listening.
[0:26] Oh, is that the new one here?
[0:26] That's the second one.
[0:27] There's three of them.
[0:27] Yeah, I got it.
[0:28] That's the third one.
[0:28] They'll be at five o'clock tonight.
[0:29] Yeah.
[0:29] I was just asking the balance of the time.

[1:29] Well, the target could be far enough away so that they have some options.
[1:31] We always go the other way, far enough away or not.
[1:51] And we've improved in populated areas throughout the war.
[1:53] And we've just got to take the lead on it.
[1:53] But it's going to be, it's going to be enough.
[1:54] And I'm not, I'm not going to give up any of this.

[1:58] Okay.
[1:58] Right.
[1:58] Thank you very much.
