Under the guidance of instructors of the New Zealand Army of the NZ Defence Force, classes are held for personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on basic military training as part of the multinational training operation INTERFLEX in Great Britain.

The photos by NATO show the practice of the modules of the basic military training to overcome the obstacle course by military personnel using means of simulating combat conditions, defensive exercises, movement on the battlefield, tactical medicine, which increases their psychological stability and combat skills.

 

 

We will remind you that the first group of Ukrainian defenders arrived in Great Britain on June 27, 2022 as part of the INTERFLEX operation initiated by the United Kingdom.

Operation INTERFLEX is a training program designed for Ukrainian Armed Forces recruits with little or no prior military experience to teach them the skills needed to survive and be effective in front-line combat so they can defend Ukraine against Russian aggression.

The program targets Ukrainian recruits with little or no military experience and is aimed at building and developing basic skills and capabilities necessary for survival and combat effectiveness.

 

 

The five-week course includes training in weapons handling and marksmanship, tactics, patrolling, urban and urban warfare, position clearing, explosives handling and demining, first aid, International Humanitarian Law, laws and customs of war, and more.

Great Britain and 12 partner countries have joined forces to support Ukraine in training recruits. Over two years, within the framework of the Interflex program, Great Britain, with the support of 12 partner countries, trained more than 40,000 servicemen and women of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. In addition to the training of new and professional personnel for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Great Britain and other Western countries and Australia and New Zealand constantly help with weapons, ammunition and logistical support.

The training is conducted at the facilities of the training and material base of the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain of the United Kingdom. Each training course lasts five weeks.
