Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi held a working meeting on improving military training. The meeting was attended by the leadership of the Armed Forces, representatives of training centers and combat brigades.

Improving military training
Syrskyi emphasized that the lives of Ukrainian soldiers are priceless, and the most important prerequisite for their preservation is quality training at all stages.
Syrskyi listened to reports regarding the analysis of the training system, staffing of instructor positions in training centers and their provision with the necessary weapons and military equipment.
"There was also a report on the pilot project already being implemented, which involves extending the duration of basic general military training (BGMT) from 1 to 1.5 months. As part of the project, the BGMT program has been updated to reflect current needs and challenges. In December, I will make a decision regarding the new BGMT model. Moving forward, if the operational situation permits, I do not rule out the next phase of extending the duration of basic training," noted the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to Syrskyi, the Air Assault Troops have become the flagship of personnel training. He emphasized that the new approaches used in the Air Assault Forces should be adopted by other components of the Defense Forces.
"As a result of the meeting, I identified tasks in the following areas. In particular, the staffing of instructor positions in training centers should be strengthened. Everyone who teaches our soldiers must have relevant combat experience," Syrskyi added.
Previously, Syrskyi honored the military who took part in combat operations in the Kursk sector. The awards were given to soldiers of the Air Assault Forces.
Mr. Syrskyi also published footage of the destruction of Russian equipment at the front. He stated that the combat work continues.
