Ukrainian military personnel will be given a survival training program — SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) after this military standard was approved by the Ministry of Defense. Developed in accordance with NATO standards, it is adapted to Ukraine’s national specifics and combat experience gained during the war with Russia.
The training will have of three levels — basic, intermediate, and advanced, with each tailored to specific objectives and training methods.
“Preparation for survival in extreme conditions is an integral part of military training. The risk of isolation or operating under challenging conditions is an inherent part of military service. Our goal is to equip soldiers with essential knowledge and train instructors to guide them through these challenges. At the same time, implementing such a standard brings us closer to NATO principles, a significant step in our Euro-Atlantic integration,” said Deputy Minister of Defense Dmytro Klimenkov.
The training will focus on survival skills like successful evasion and recovery efforts, evasion movement techniques, and will teach to break contact from enemy forces using personal weapons and negotiate barriers to evasion.
Ukrainian troops will acquire practical skills for survival in various environments, such as arctic, tropical, mountainous, and desert regions. Special attention will be given to organizing search-and-rescue operations to facilitate the effective evacuation of isolated personnel.
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
