"I was just at a strongpoint, I stepped aside a little and a bullet flew into me! These classes help not to repeat such mistakes," he said.

According to Roman Parfenov, a representative of the medical service of the Russian group of troops in Syria, over the years that there is a war in the country, Syrians have accumulated some experience in providing first aid for wounds, but it needs to be improved, which military doctors did during the exercises.
