Ukraine’s Air Assault Forces ditch outdated Soviet-era equipment in training recruits

Major Volodymyr Baiduzhyi, head of the training and laboratory support group at the 199th Training Center of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces, said this in an interview with Ukrinform . “We have completely abandoned both methods and equipment that have lost their relevance in modern warfare. For example, we have minimized the use of heavy, immobile systems – stationary surface-to-air missile systems, conventional powerful local electronic warfare systems, and heavy towed artillery – which have become easy targets for the enemy amid the widespread dominance of drones,” Baiduzhyi said.
