Military call for fire is still pretty basic according to what was teached there.

Correction orders for Fire control wouldn't be that hard to get accustomed to.

What is bothering me is that they decide to actively waste precious time, be it not eunough sleep due to early "schedule" or senselessly idleing around, instead of doing proper training.

But being on the shooting range and not shooting for 80-90% of the time is common in germany. I think there is also not much to do for the american rangers since the shooting range belongs to germany and german range control is special and security protocol is kinda unforgiving.


And the part that their doctrine is 80's wrt to technology.
Yea I once spent around 15 hours of a day at the range during my military training only to end up shooting for 30mins max out of it. 3 hours is pretty good.

Yeah. From what I heard the Russians just reclaimed most of Ukraine's gains over the past month and a half.
They just give the time for Ukraine forces to settle without making good defence position and they just carpet them with artillery and take back the area. They will probably go back a couple of fields if Ukraine forces are going in and they will do the same over and over.

Based on what I've read here, the training is literally just boot camp-level (except the artillery call fer fire part). If this is the level of much-vaunted NATO training being provided, it's no wonder why they got mauled in Zapo just like the others.
What can you do with that amount of time... if at least they would have sorted troop to different level it would have been better. These poor lads. With the amount of weapons mixed up, it's hard also to do proper training when on the front they will receive different equipments.

Would need at least some combined course with IFV so they are not run over like we have seen on multiple video. For tank crew training, it's sure that they cannot pass through repairs and maintenances. In the amount of time provided. Any problems on the front is an abandonned vehicule waiting to be towed.

Imagine what they will learn in six months camp for F-16 piloting ?

Bradley hit by something, shattering the armor but the vehicle is still operational.


The US will take Taiwan's decomissioned Hawks to give them to Ukraine

The US says the "conditions are not ideal" for the delivery of F-16's.

Hit Ukranian T-80. The charge managed to pierce the mantlet area

Footage of a battle between a Russian T-80 tank and two Turkish-made Kirpi armored vehicles of the Ukrainian army. As reported, the battle took place in the village of Makarovka on the Vremevsky ledge in the South-Donetsk direction. Judging by the video, the approaches to the village were not protected in any way, the tank simply drove into the village and destroyed the Kirpi armored personnel carriers.






It's not often that snipers get hit by artillery, but it does happen from time to time. One of the Russian snipers spoke about his combat work and why they were hit by Ukrainian artillery.






SAM Pantsir shoots down Ukraine's Storm Shadow cruise missile. Footage of the work of the operators of the Russian Pantsir-S1 air defense system to intercept the British-made Ukrainian cruise missile Storm Shadow has been published, we previously talked about these missiles. It is worth noting that it is not always possible to shoot down these missiles, since not all directions are covered by air defense.






Russian servicemen shared their impressions of the American-made Oshkosh M-ATV captured Ukrainian armored vehicle and foreign equipment of the Ukrainian army. The Oshkosh armored car was abandoned by the crew near the village of Novodonetskoye. The Oshkosh M-ATV armored vehicle was developed by the American company Oshkosh Truck and put into service in 2009. The car was used in several military conflicts and it turned out to be more tenacious than the previously used Humvee armored vehicle. The car is quite well protected, this is also noted in the video by the Russian soldier. The vehicle can be armed with M240 and M2 Browning machine guns, Mk 19 grenade launcher and two types of anti-tank systems. The Oshkosh M-ATV armored vehicle is available in five variants and can accommodate up to 11 people. Engine power 370 hp allows it to reach speeds of up to 105 km / h, the cost of the Oshkosh M-ATV armored vehicle is about $ 470,000.






A Lancet drone strikes a T-72 tank pushing a Ukrainian MaxxPro armored vehicle. Published footage of the impact of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet" in the Ukrainian T-72B3 tank, this is a captured tank towing an M1224 MaxxPro armored vehicle. The video is not particularly remarkable, except that the tank towing the car ended up running into it, this is the first time this has happened. The episode is shown at the end of the video.
