    The French Army has begun training and coaching 2,300 soldiers from the Ukrainian 155th Combined Arms Brigade. The training is to last two months, until the end of November. The training is based on “feedback” from the Ukrainian battlefield, with “real-world conditions, stress, noise, drones,” as in Ukraine.In this brigade of 4,500 soldiers, the general staff, three infantry battalions and their support (engineering, artillery, ground-to-air surveillance and reconnaissance) are trained in France, the rest – 2,200 people – are trained in Ukraine by Ukrainians. France will equip it with 128 front-line armoured vehicles (VAB), 18 Caesar cannons, “more than 18” AMX-10s, 20 Milan anti-tank missile posts and 10 large TRM 10,000 military trucks designed for support missions in difficult terrain.Emmanuel Macron had also announced in June the delivery of Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets to the Ukrainians. Pilots and mechanics are already being trained on the aircraft that will be transferred. France is also participating in the training of Ukrainian pilots destined to fly American F16s. It has already trained a total of more than 15,000 Ukrainian soldiers in various fields (infantry combat, artillery, maintenance of the transferred equipment, health, etc.). Source : Le Monde.

    Finally someone in EU has realised that Ukraine needs fully equipped relief armys and not only weapons delivery.
