On March 11, SPbGASU students took part in a tour of the training center, where they learned about modern military equipment, military life and conditions, and how UAV operator training is organized.
The training center offers specialized classes, each of which provides training in its own area:
Construction and operation of radio communication systems; construction of a DRT network; cyber defense; maintenance and tactics of control of tank columns; supply; logistics; work with unmanned systems.
Additionally, the children learned the basics of tactical medicine—not just emergency medical care in the field, but rather specific techniques that require immediate rescue in the midst of active combat.
During the excursion, students not only learned about the latest technologies in the modern military but also experienced short training on the same simulators used to train new UAV specialists.
"I'm into ATVs, so I liked the military model in the car and motorcycle classes. I tried flying a UAV on a simulator, but it's much more difficult," said Genrikh Gogolev, a student at the Automobile and Road Engineering Faculty.
"Thank you very much for organizing this trip. I think it was very important to see the training of our soldiers and the skills and abilities they acquire during their training," said third-year student Viktor Belogrudov. "Using specialized simulators, we tried ourselves out as UAV operators and KAMAZ truck drivers, and also learned the theoretical principles of communication devices, such as radios. I really remember the tactical medicine instructor with whom we discussed the importance of first aid. What I liked most was that we were given the opportunity to test military equipment firsthand, albeit in a simulation."
The Russian Armed Forces invite students to participate in a special year-long program focused on working with modern unmanned systems. Students are offered the opportunity to serve in the unmanned systems forces under a special contract. Learn more about participating in the program
