At the same time we drew up documents, collecte the necessary things and equipment. In the end, we went to our destination. The point of arrival of the unit is usually a city behind or near the front line. There we settle down and wait for combat tasks. How long the wait will last is always unknown. It can be weeks, it can be days. The specificity of our tasks is that we leave the position to work and immeiately return. Not everyone is so lucky, because there are mechanize brigades that hold their site without leaving it. They convey what is happening, do not allow the DRG, etc. It’s standard position-holding work, but it means you might not get out of the trenches for months.
Another important factor is the team
I will definitely never forget the first battle., we had almost no idea where we were going. They were ambushe on the spot. Only the Russians worke, art was flying, but nothing from us, there was silence. We knew that if they attacke us now, they would soon be in Mykolaiv. I won’t say it was scary to go, but it was the bravery of not knowing. We simply did not know where and what we were going for. Then it became scary, I never wante to live like that. However, I manage to get out. It was an interesting and valuable experience.
We train people with no combat experience
As a result, we came out with small losses. After that,, and I saw a huge difference. People with no way out learn very poorly and have little understanding AERO Leads of where they are going. Being in combat radically changes the way you think about learning and learning life-saving skills. A soldier before military exit and after it are two different people.. When we were ambushe, we had no communication with the commanders, it was absolute chaos. Combat is always chaos. We trie to walk away correctly, as we were taught before, but it didn’t work out very well.
