I guess Poroshenko really wants US cooperation in Ukraine. I hope the war just finishes and all this bloodshed ends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Ukraine desperately needs US help to train a light infantry battalion... but from US perspective, it gives us an ability to evaluate the state of Ukrainian forces and to find the right starting point to improving their combat capacity.Realistically speaking, ZSU/National Guard face a ton of challenges ranging from logistics, to C3, to command structure, to training deficiencies and so on. We are not ready nor willing to tackle all of them right away, so we start at a most manageable (tactical) level and then move from there... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) I especially liked the bit about the American trainer who was upset about the UNG soldier who insisted on firing his RPG left-handed. Can't argue with the results! Regards, John Kettler Edited June 25, 2015 by John Kettler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
