Ukraine has quietly sent drone warfare instructors to Britain to train UK military personnel on the latest Russian drone tactics, The Times reports. In a reversal of traditional roles, the same Ukrainian troops who have received training from Western militaries are now imparting their battle-hardened expertise to British soldiers. While thousands of Ukrainian troops continue to undergo training from Western allies, Ukraine’s deep experience with Russian drones has become a valuable asset NATO is eager to tap into. These Ukrainian instructors are contributing to Operation Interflex, the UK-led initiative to train Ukrainian troops. According to The Times, they are also incorporating drone warfare instruction into basic training for Ukrainian soldiers.
