Training of Ukrainian military personnel to work with Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns has begun in Germany
Training has begun for the Ukrainian military to operate Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns at German training grounds.
This was reported by the German publication RND.
“This week, at the Bundeswehr training grounds in Putlos and Todendorf in Schleswig-Holstein, the Ukrainian military began training with the Gepard anti-aircraft tank,” the message says.
At least 100 Ukrainian army personnel are participating in the exercises, the publication reports.
The team must become familiar with Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, as well as undergo artillery training.
The Bundeswehr and the self-propelled gun manufacturer Gepard (Krauss-Maffei Wegmann) do not officially confirm the training notifications, but do not deny them either.
“The Todendorf training ground meets all the requirements for this. Previously, Gepards were based there, and it is convenient to train at shooting ranges there in the Baltic Sea region,” said Ingo Gadechens, a member of the Bundestag of East Holstein and defense expert.
Meanwhile, the first group of Ukrainian military personnel, consisting of 10 thousand people, arrived in the UK to undergo training with British instructors under the program announced by the then-retired Boris Johnson.
All these actions indicate that the program to train the new Ukrainian army according to NATO standards, albeit slowly, is proceeding as usual. And soon the Russian military will meet it on the battlefield. This means that no matter what anyone says about the imminent end of hostilities, further escalation is inevitable and is only a matter of time. This means that the RF Armed Forces must be prepared for this.
