The process of such training is not simple, because it is necessary not only to train the personnel. Navy sailors must also complete appropriate individual training for their line of work, followed by group training. Subsequently, the crew must serve on the ship for another period of time in order to undergo combat consent. Press Secretary of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmitry Pletenchuk stated this on air of the telethon.
If a tank is 3-4 people, then a ship is hundreds of people and, accordingly, they need more time to master a new type of weapon, and, secondly, to start working as a team to master everything,” he noted.
It is noted that the crews of mine countermeasures ships located in the UK are already serving on these ships and are adapting to the conditions of service. However, this is a complex process, because the crew that gets on board a NATO ship must serve on it for at least another year without being used in combat.
Also, the crews of the next two Alkmaar class minesweepers are now studying abroad and they should be trained by precisely those countries that operate these ships, which have the appropriate experience and material and technical base. The British are involved in the training.
Let us recall that in December the UK confirmed that it would transfer to the Ukrainian Navy two Sandown-class minesweepers – the Chernigov (M310) and the Cherkassy (M311), which, after modernization in Scotland, first went to sea in June 2023 . of the year.
It was also reported that the maritime coalition of Britain and Norway will also transfer 20 Viking amphibians and 23 high-speed boats to Ukraine.
