Russia will force teenagers to undergo 140 hours of military training to send them to the front

Russia will force teenagers to undergo 140 hours of military training during their last two years of study in order to prepare them to go to the front lines. Those in charge of preparing them will be war veterans, according to the British newspaper Mirror.

This idea arises due to the problem that it has represented for Russia to have to send recruits without previous military training to the war in Ukraine. Russian First Deputy Defense Minister Valery Gerasimov has said in this regard that "after the start of the special military operation, this problem became especially acute, many volunteers do not have the necessary experience to participate in hostilities."

He went on to say that "the introduction of this subject in schools will systematically prepare citizens for a possible confrontation with the enemy." It should be noted that, in addition to military training, they will also be taught communication skills and first aid.

It is believed that with the implementation of this new measure, military leaders hope to spend less time training new recruits. In addition, fears that the war in Ukraine will continue to rise after the announcement of this decision. In fact, some sources told the British media that anti-aircraft sirens are being tested and that in cities like Volgograd underground train stations are being converted into bunkers.
