In many cases, These forces are called special forces troops, while the government considered their elite units. In reality the only thing they are able to rely on, is "the spirit of military unity" and some experience of their commanders, received their first.
According to the magazine citing the opinion of the 4 commanders of the special purpose, the Ukrainian troops from the beginning of the conflict " are not used in due measure ". According to one of fighters of special purpose troops first guarded by periodically occupying the high post of the President of Ukraine.
The soldiers of the 3rd special forces regiment is a motley collection of camouflage patterns of the different countries which were either given to other States for free or were purchased by the soldiers on their money. Weapons and equipment of soldiers can be called anything, but not advanced. All that distinguishes the weapon of Ukrainian special forces is the availability of optical sights and silencers on the rifles and machine guns.
USA since the beginning of March 2014 has invested more than $ 250 million in "non-lethal aid" to Ukraine. It involved providing Ukrainian soldiers with night vision devices, anti-artillery radar sets of body armor and a few cars, But commandos of the 3rd special forces regiment is practically not reached. So, the military has almost no vision - they are only 17 pieces in the formation, and sent military equipment - 7 aging military vehicles HMMWV (Humvee) 1990 model years with plastic Windows and doors. These machines are rarely used because of the large number of technical shortcomings.
"If the U.S. is going to send us military equipment, may not send bushnev things," the Washington post quoted one of the soldiers create.
According to the operational staff officer of the 3rd special forces regiment, Lieutenant-Colonel Andrei, used machinery " produces a demoralizing effect." However, before you ask USA the best cars and the best weapons that were made by certain politicians in the USA, you first need to get good shoes, form, and armor protection.
Today in Ukraine there is not a single training base for special forces, told WP Lieutenant-Colonel Andrew. Some special forces were trained by instructors from the United States, However, the American model of training involves the use of a number of technological advantages, such as secure communications system and the possibility of using satellite visual data exploration.
According to U.S. Colonel Ted Donnelly, the program of training of the Ukrainian military, the U.S. launched, in theory can make the necessary base For further training fighters. However, Ukraine has a huge problem with the functioning of military institutions, and we cannot be sure how effective will be training and equipping the Ukrainian military against American citizens, leads WP opinion Ted Donnelly.
"We have provided substantial support to Ukraine. However, We (the US - approx. Ed.) will never be able to solve the whole thing, and in the end to settle All will be required of them (Ukrainians - ed. Ed.) ", - quotes the journal of the American Colonel.
