Quote: “The terms of training specialists directly depend on the technological complexity of the missile-artillery system or gun, which is logical.

Here’s a comparison: at least half a year is allocated for crew training or calculating a system of medium technological complexity according to NATO standards. We train our specialists in four weeks!

And after that, they can already work professionally with weapons and continue to constantly improve their skills and abilities during hostilities.”
