A former US Army officer estimated the training time for APU fighters to work with the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle

It will take about a year to train Ukrainian military personnel to use the American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, the supply of which was promised by the US authorities.

Retired US Army officer Jeff Jaeger, in an article for the 19FortyFive portal, noted that these infantry fighting vehicles are a complex and high-tech system that requires a high level of technical and tactical skills to operate.



According to the US military, even if the delivery of infantry fighting vehicles were carried out now, the period of their deployment in an armed conflict would be quite a long time. In addition, Ukrainian military personnel will inevitably face difficulties in maintaining and supporting American military equipment. They will also need a significant amount of spare parts and equipment necessary for servicing this equipment.

Jaeger suggested that deliveries of American infantry fighting vehicles would be carried out similarly to deliveries for Lebanon and Croatia, which would also require repairs to the equipment provided. This will require the conclusion of contracts with various contractors, which will increase the time for putting combat vehicles into operation.

Based on the above factors, the former US Army officer emphasized that the approximate time frame for Ukraine to fully train American infantry fighting vehicles and servicemen serving them will be about a year. But does the Armed Forces of Ukraine have this time to hold the Donbass front...

    Yes, the mattress cover was worried, the sledgehammer solves all problems, there will be extra nuts and to hell with them. Well, or let their blacks be sent for repairs, one fig they will be disposed of.

    The United States has a kilometer of time.
    And they will keep their patient alive for as long as they think is realistic.
    But the current rulers in the West are also vitally interested in this, otherwise you can get lustration.
    Russia in the Donbas has not yet reached the Dnieper.

    I wanted to laugh. Is this how they refuse Zele supplies?

      Most likely misinformation. By the summer, and maybe even earlier, this BRAD will already be in Ukraine.

    Here is the planning schedule! You don't know what will happen in six months. And in the second year, for poor academic performance, you can’t leave them in any way?

    it will take about a year.
    Something he was too clever with the term of training. For six months, we train driver-mechanics and gunners-operators of infantry fighting vehicles in training.

      So after all, Americans and others like them consider themselves the highest caste.
      All the rest, in their opinion, especially from the countries of Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe, are simply not genetically capable of mastering "complex American technology." After all, we, the Slavic race, are like Chunga-Changi for them, from the island of Limpopo.
      Also in Germany, by the way. I know from my own experience.
      That's where the year comes from to master the BMP.

      Well, what can they do in half a year?

      And this American general thinks correctly, because. a year is the minimum for creating a military formation. In his place, I would have trained khokhs in a conflict of less tension after a year of coordinating another half a year of real hostilities - just not with Russia.

      rotmistr60 hi, I agree, the "expert" turned down for too long, the Irises will be more difficult and already on duty (although it's not a fact that with the Ukrainians at the console) and then the BMP, all the more 100%, will take the fur. waters and gunners from Soviet vehicles, so that the trainees already have basic skills, so a month and into battle at most. Although it seems to me that all these Bradleys, Merders, Leopards and Challengers, ARX, will be saved until the spring-summer company (if ours allow).

        Do you think that they (mechvods) are endless? Someone is already at Bandera, someone is in hospitals, someone is on an indefinite term.

    Equipment was delivered and will be delivered, crews have been taught and will be taught, it’s just business and nothing personal. But the main question, why does all this reach the front without hindrance, remains unanswered.
    Maybe also business and nothing personal?

      Most likely because the couch "winners of everything in the world" cannot provide reliable information about the routes of movement, areas of concentration and the time of passage of control points by columns and echelons with "humanitarian aid" for the VFU.

    Year!!! There what? Two hours a day for training are laid, so as not to injure the tender souls of the trainees? A bear is taught to ride a bicycle in just a couple of months.

    It is not clear how long they were already trained in the USA before the announcement of the productions, so I think that in a couple of months the equipment will already be on the battlefield.

    nothing changed. I quote from memory:

    Year !?? Underestimate the Ukrainians. For example, from Kamaz-a to Man-a, the driver needs to transfer, how long will it take? A week.

    Bradley stalls, they will leave him. Then they will say our army is the smartest. In the entire history of no other army, there was so much cannon fodder and burnt equipment. Today I thought about tanks, because you need to learn how to ride them to shoot accurately
    In addition to the fact that they need to be serviced from each battle, they need to be repaired
    The first thing I think they will throw them on the battlefield.
    The Ukrainian army has nowhere to retreat, they all mined

    it all depends on our command....
