"[They] don't understand... We tried to explain to them, but they simply don’t grasp how to work [with drones]. [They don’t get what it feels like] when FPVs are firing at you, when it flies into the trenches - right into your foxhole. When it tosses a bomb on you while you're moving between positions. When the first drone strike drops you to the floor, and the second one finishes you off. This situation is widespread now... They just can’t grasp it. They still rely on raids, assaults, and everything - it’s their old system," he revealed.

"The Chinese equipment wasn't good. They gave us Bulgarian AKs in Britain. They look like the AK-74s, just Bulgarian made. Back then, we were working with empty, blank cartridges on the shooting range."

"Our guys mostly complained, saying: 'What are they teaching us if they themselves admit that no army can stand without aviation and artillery?' In the UK, our guys said they also fired from AKs, Bulgarian ones. Bulgarian assault rifles, loaded with only 25 rounds into magazines designed for 30 because, otherwise, the weapons would jam."

"Hardly any better than the musketeers. This training is now exposing the entire alliance, showing that neither they nor their methods are prepared for modern warfare. They don’t understand what’s really going on. They fail to grasp how two drone crews can hold a frontline that used to require a battalion," Yaroslavsky explained.
