Description

Ukrainian recruit runs through a training exercise on Loaders Drill Trainer , which simulates the process of loading and firing the guns in a Challenger II tank, on February 23, 2023 in Southern England. The UK will send 14 Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine marking the first time a Western country has sent its most powerful heavy armour to Kyiv to aid Ukrainians in the fight against the Russian Invasion. A thousand UK service personnel are deploying to run a training programme giving 10,000 volunteer recruits from Ukraine, with little to no military experience, the skills to be effective in frontline combat. Based on the UK's basic soldier training, the course covers weapons handling, battlefield first aid, fieldcraft, patrol tactics and the Law of Armed Conflict.
