His statement follows recent news that the military is scaling up its drone units.

“Scaling up drone units requires professional operators," he explained.

"We are strengthening the instructors' training in the use of UAVs and various types of ground robotic systems. We’re increasing the number of specialists in this area.”

An Instructor School will soon begin operation, which will significantly improve the instructors qualifications and readiness.

“Special attention has been paid to tactical medicine instructors," Syrskyi added.

"Their training duration will be significantly expanded. The number of tactical medicine instructors will also grow — both in training centers and within combat brigades.”

On April 18, AFU Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Oleh Apostol, said that a new general military training program launched three months ago already showed positive results.
