It is noted that "the additional training of freelance sappers in motorized rifle divisions is carried out in connection with the increased role of the mine war in modern armed conflicts."

During the week, with honors in engineering training from all the motorized rifle divisions of the association, they conducted practical training in detecting mines, determining their type and classification, as well as destroying dangerous finds using an overhead charge,

says release.

According to the press service, “servicemen are trained in the proper use of military mine detectors, in particular, by searching for Korsun proximity kits; Particular attention was paid to the mine-explosives when working with TNT bombs and the detection of mined objects. ” Each fighter got the skill of proper manufacturing of the charge and undermining the conventional bomb.

A total of about 500 military personnel were involved in the training. In the future, it is planned to continue the practice of additional training for freelance engineers from motorized rifle divisions, added in the district.

Minesweeper is never superfluous

Minesweeper can not only remove, but also install explosive devices.

And the girls want to marry sappers, especially the rich!

[KVU-NSVD]

And if you never make a mistake?

All that is abnormal, all this is fake. It is necessary to make full-time sapper units of the battalion. To train a sapper in a week !!! Achinea, I know about Afghanistan. Insanity in the army grows stronger.

What are freelance sappers? extra? or extra?

[Dr_engie]

Because they didn’t create new staffing units, and the staff of units of this kind did not change, then maybe they simply trained N motorized rifle engineers in sapper business, while the VUS and the post remained the same? Well, that is, a person remains all the same as a corporal motorized rifle of some sort, just undergoing additional training to expand his horizons.

Most likely it is. As a rule, in addition to sappers, they also train freelance medical instructors, cooks and other specialists of low qualification.

"According to the press service," military personnel are trained in the proper use of military mine detectors, in particular, Korshun detectors of non-contact explosive devices; special attention was given to mine explosive work during the work with TNT mines and the detection of mined objects. "Each soldier received the skill to correctly making an overhead charge and detonating a conventional mine. "
I remember that in the training in the SA during the training in engineering training, they gave much more volume, but no one was considered a freelance sapper.
