Longer than NATO standards: why the Armed Forces changed the tactics of preparation of mobilized - Colonel of Britain

To spread: the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine asked partners to extend the duration of military training mobilized at Western landfills. A similar solution was called "risky" because fewer people will work out, although it will gain better skills than the average NATO recruiter. The United Kingdom has organized military training of Ukrainians according to the Interflex program, while the fighters are not on the landfills, but seven weeks, said the Business Insider media.

Thus, the Armed Forces command was given the priority of "Quality over quantity", explained in the article. The media communicated with the commander of the military training program in Britain Colonel Bordman. The BI interlocutor supported the position of Ukrainians who chose a new tactic, seeing a significant advantage of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of living power, ammunition and technology.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces asked to keep the soldiers on landfills longer, and this seemed to be an unexpected request to partners. However, there is an understanding that Ukraine has focused on other aspects, not on the tactics of the Russian Federation to throw the front "meat". "The idea is that they will be more deadly, more effective when they return to the front line," the colonel explained.

Bordman specified that the decision of the General Staff to increase the duration of military training still has shortcomings. One of them is that there are fewer cycles of training during the year, that is, a smaller amount of replenishment of the Armed Forces is trained. [The calculations show that 5 weeks of preparation are approximately 10 cycles, and seven - about seven. It is possible to reduce the number of prepared fighters, conditional, one -third].

The second problem - NATO instructors who behave, sometimes have no experience of real fighting. They try to cope with this problem, the colonel explained. According to him, Ukrainians provide their recommendations in accordance with new battles, and this is taken into account during their studies. On the other hand, the West sees the unchanged tactics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which arrange "meat grinders" for their own soldiers.

Ukraine is trying to act better by trained soldiers using modern equipment, while Russians throw infantry forward with minimal preparation on old equipment, the media summed up. "[The Russians] returned to the Soviet form on the battlefield, preferring the mass over the maneuver, the amount of quality, the capacity over opportunities, the cruelty over accuracy and the mobilization of readiness," the article reads.

Business Insider has reported that the Interflex program in Britain has passed 56,000 of the Armed Forces since 2022. They also reminded that Ukraine increased from 30 days to 45: decisions were made in the summer of 2024. It should be noted that Focus wrote about the peculiarities of military training of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces in Britain. The video from the landfill was shown by the Ukrainian soldiers who conduct a training battle in concrete ruins and trenches.
