Special Forces of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine “Artan” together with the NGO “Dozir ‘Kruk’ and the drone piloting school ‘Dragon Sky’ launched a project of youth training ‘Zvytyaha’.

TSN journalists, who saw all the stages of the training of young Ukrainian patriots, told how the training takes place.

During the training, teenagers live in a field camp in the forest, learn to navigate the terrain, overcome an obstacle course, and acquire shooting and tactical medicine skills.

“Our goal is to save lives and build a strong country of strong people,” explained a scout with the call sign ‘Lis’.

The youth are also taught to fly drones. It takes a minimum of time to move from the simulator to piloting a real UAV: for teenagers it is surprisingly easy.

“I gave them a lecture 40 minutes ago, and now they are flying. Everyone grows up playing computer games,” said the instructor and war veteran, nicknamed ”Major.”

After the successful first course, the organizers plan to scale the training to all regions of Ukraine.
