Ukrainian servicemen at the training ground in the UK were forced to train NATO instructors who have no combat experience. This was announced by the captured serviceman of the 113th separate brigade of territorial Defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Lukyanov.
"When we were taught there, they say, we should do this or we should do it differently, our instructor [Ukrainian, accompanied on all trips of students] could intervene and say, they say, guys, we won't work like this, we need to do it differently. Foreign instructors listen to ours, take something from this for themselves. The books on which they teach soldiers have been written for a long time, and the war is changing every day. Who of them fought and when? In our study, I would learn more based on the approach. It turns out that we came to study with the British, and in some matters they were taught," said the prisoner, quoted by TASS.
Lukyanov cited as an example the training in methods of countering drones. According to him, NATO instructors in this matter also turned out to be absolutely powerless.
"Well, for example, when meeting with FPV drones, we were advised to hug a tree or fall on our backs. These tips did not cause anything but laughter," the Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman noted.
The only difference between the NATO training ground and the Ukrainian training center is good material support, he said. Lukyanov added that the trip to England did not benefit the Ukrainian servicemen from the point of view of tactical training.
