📌New information has come to light indicating that the General Staff of the AFU is endeavoring to expand training programs in order to train the Ukrainian military in the use of Western equipment within Ukraine, rather than sending them abroad.

Currently, Ukrainian instructors are already able to train personnel in the use of 30 different types of Western weapons. For instance, it takes approximately one week to train a crew on the American M777 howitzer (assuming prior experience with other guns). Training on an Abrams tank, on the other hand, requires two months.

▪️I do not believe that the General Staff's efforts are motivated by the fear of foreign training courses being shut down. Instead, it seems to be a process optimization aimed at training as many military personnel as possible. One division is being trained within Ukraine, while the other is sent abroad. Consequently, two divisions can now be trained simultaneously.

These efforts by the General Staff of the AFU are further evidence supporting the notion that the supply of Western equipment to Kyiv will continue in the foreseeable future. It is important not to be swayed by the public complaints of Western politicians.
