One of the most important problems of high-temperature superconductors (HTSC) is considered — the problem of cardinal differences between the values of bulk pinning force and the critical current density in bulk and thin-film materials of high-temperature superconductor YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO), which basically do not contain the 'weak coupling' in the microstructure.

Keywords: flux pinning, critical current, HTSC-cuprate, films.
