They are given new army fatigues, night vision goggles and a bullet proof vest on course completion.
Many other countries are also contributing weapons for the training.
British troops have had battle field experience including guerilla warfare in Northern Ireland in the 60s, 70s and 80s
Falkland鈥檚 War in the 80s
Kuwait in the 90s
Afghanistan in the 2000s
So are well experienced at all forms of warfare and combat to be able to pass that training on.
10,000 Ukraine troops are to be trained over 120 days.
Russia is taking prison conscripts and giving them 5 days training, a six month contract worth 200,000 rubles a month and the promise of freedom, if they survive.
