This decision was made by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and about 500 recruits are involved in the current pilot project.
The extension of the training period is part of the “Saving Military Lives” program and is aimed at improving the training of Ukrainian defenders. The new program includes enhanced firearms training, an increase in the number of training exercises, as well as training in such topics as UAV and EW operations, military topography, warfare technology, and others.
“Increasing basic general military training involves extending the duration of firearms training programs, premedical practice and many additional introductory courses. Rapid changes are due to the practical demand of military units performing combat missions at the front,” said Palahniuk.
The major general also noted that the new basic program has increased by 78 hours. Earlier it was announced that the basic training period would be extended to 1.5 months.
“We can highlight a significant increase in fire training – it has been increased by 33 hours, and the number of training exercises out of 23 previously performed is now practiced in 45 variations. The additional practice will also cover comprehensive tactical training, personnel actions regarding UAVs and electronic warfare, military topography, warfare technology, combat experience activities, knowledge and skills in the use of collective weapons,” said the Chief of the Main Doctrine and Training Department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
