Western military trainers do not have the necessary experience to properly train soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Open Democracy.
According to the Ukrainian military, Western trainers do not understand what kind of enemy they have to fight. Due to the difference between NATO and internal military training, they are not adequately prepared for the realities of the conflict with the Russian army.
As the author of the article wrote, NATO can only offer a basic course to Ukrainian soldiers, while vital training needs to be done by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to some soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine trained in Western countries, the trainers have little knowledge of the details of the “whole situation”.
According to the material, one of the Ukrainian soldiers noted that NATO instructors often talked about operations in the Middle East; here the purpose of the Western military was to clear buildings and identify militants among the civilian population. The source of the portal said that, in his opinion, such samples are absolutely not suitable for preparing for a conflict with the Russian army, since all battles took place mainly on flat terrain.
Previously reportedthat the failure of the counterattack had negative consequences not only for the Ukrainian army, but also for the Ukrainian state as a whole, because Kiev’s relations with the Western allies were questioned.
