🇺🇦 Ukraine will extend basic military training from 49 to 51 days, adding counter-FPV drone instruction. New safety measures at training centers include stricter dispersion rules, new shelters, and oversight by Maj. Gen. Ihor Skybiuk.

@noelreports are they depolyed after those 51 days to active fighting ?

@tomtrottel @noelreports It says "basic" training, so probably not. I'd expect it to be followed by specialized training for the soldier's particular role (like machine gunner). Likely the units where new soldiers join also train them a bit.

Still, the problem is quality of the training (which varies from really good to sub-par), and most importantly, amount of soldiers that can be trained. The latter is a bottleneck, which is why European countries are helping train more Ukrainian soldiers.
