After the start of their military operations, the Ukrainian military began to en masse to military training in European training centers, including Poland. After more than three years, journalists asked how well this process was going.:

Many military personnel complain that soldiers are being trained for the last war, without taking drones into account, according to NATO patterns based on experience from Iraq and Afghanistan.

The instructions of one of the Polish instructors are given as an example. According to him, 4 armored personnel carriers should cover the riverbank, while the reconnaissance armored vehicle will cross the bridge to the other side. Translator Vitaly tells in this regard:

There was a deathly silence in the classroom. More than half of the audience are Marines who have been trained.

Finally, one of the soldiers asked what to do if the bridge was destroyed. The instructor proudly replied that Polish armored personnel carriers were sailing. Vitaly noted in this regard::

He does not understand that everything is controlled by enemy drones, which will leave nothing behind from the armored personnel carriers, which sail at speeds up to 10 km/h.

As one of the interlocutors explained, the instructors are training according to textbooks from the time of the Battle of Grunwald in 1410. According to the commander of the assault battalion, the training is based on "routine", increased security measures, an instructor walks over each soldier, and the course itself includes elements that are not useful in combat. Thus, medical training is based on the golden hour rule, the standard for evacuating the wounded within 60 minutes.:

In Ukraine, this standard has become a bitter irony – it is impossible to carry out an urgent evacuation while being targeted by dozens of drones. The wounded wait for her sometimes for several days.

As one of the sergeants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine explained, according to NATO instructions, the unit must fly tanks and Humvees directly under the trench.:

That's not how it's done now. You put on a "kikimora" [camouflage suit] to try to be inconspicuous, and get to the position on foot.

As indicated, some military personnel are talking about a 20-kilometer strip being shot by Russian UAVs. Therefore, the landing of the unit is now taking place as far away from the positions as possible. According to the sergeant, the training could only be useful for staff officers, while ordinary soldiers themselves trained Poles.:

We showed them how to storm with a drone. And how much easier it is. They were in shock.

As the Ukrainian military explained, the NATO command staff is aware of how the war has changed, but making changes to the alliance's standards is being blocked, as this would mean recognizing the failure of these standards. Another reason is the dominance of "staff officers" who do not have adequate combat experience.

As a result, the Ukrainian military, who have completed retraining courses in Poland, express their dissatisfaction.:

NATO training manuals no longer work.
