In that sense, one of the aspects in which the Ukrainian forces can teach the European armies the most is drone management. Unmanned vehicles have become a fundamental weapon in the war in Ukraine and They are called to be essential in the military field from now on.
As in all facets of life, theoretical knowledge of drones is valuable, but The most important (and valuable) thing is knowing how to apply that theory to practiceto the war itself. And there, obviously, Ukrainian fighters have a huge advantage over European troops.
In that sense, the Lieutenant Colonel Ben Irwin-Clark, Commander 1st Battalion Irish Guardshe stated, in statements to which the Ukrainians have taught them that A competent drone pilot needs at least “30 hours in a simulator and 30 hours of real flight” on the ground.
“It’s an upward curve”
Ben Irwin-Clark has highlighted that with that Ukrainian recipe consisting of the sum of 60 hours of experience (between real flight and simulator) driving unmanned vehicles, the pilots “are quite competent at flying different types of drones.”
According to the lieutenant colonel, after this base of practical knowledge, the pilots are improving progressively through repetition and exposure to more types of drones. “It’s an upward curve in terms of how good they can be.”stressed the commander of the 1st Battalion of the Irish Guards.
