It's not just equipment, it is training.

The #### eaters are pushing through accelerated training in the UK. Canada has sent advisors to help with that training as have other Western nations (not just NATO, Kiwis for example). The Ukrainian approach to war is in line with NATO's approach to war.

The tactics from the top down to the section level are superior to the Russians.

This comes from NATO.

Started in June, it has trained 7,000 Ukrainian soldiers so far, with another 3,000 due to finish by Christmas. A similar EU initiative, which aims to train 15,000 troops in Germany and Poland, starts this month.

Brigadier Justin Stenhouse, who oversees the training programme across several UK sites, said one Ukrainian commander emailed him about a recent frontline incident he witnessed where 10 soldiers came under Russian attack but stood firm and “took the fight to the Russians, while the others took cover”.

Their example inspired the rest of their platoon to join the fight, Stenhouse recounted. Afterwards, when the Russians had been repulsed, the commander asked them why they had done this. They replied: “This is what we were taught to do in UK training.”
