Schoolchildren in Russia will learn to handle rifles, operate UAVs – UK intel
Ukrinform ^ | 8 Sep 23 | Ukrinform

Posted on 09/08/2023 4:09:35 PM PDT by delta7

With the help of a new curriculum at schools, Russia is imposing a new view of the history of Ukraine and introducing military skills to reduce training timelines for onwards mobilization. The UK Defense Ministry said this in an intelligence update posted on the social platform X, Ukrinform reports.

It is noted that Russia’s new school year has begun with a new curriculum incorporating both military skills and the Kremlin’s view of the history of Ukraine.

One element, the "Basics of Life Safety", is aimed towards senior students and includes a basic military training module. This will include handling Kalashnikovs, the use of hand grenades, uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) operations, and battlefield first aid.

Go Vlad! No surprise, when I was in Russia around the Soviet breakup, the secondary school students learned the AK, firing, cleaning disassembly/ assembly and many schools had shooting ranges in the basements.

The Russian woman I knew could disassemble my AK with a blindfold! Compare our kids today, **********, go Vlad! …..my oh my, how far America has fallen…..of course I am old enough to remember bringing my shotgun to school and go dove hunting in the fields around school.

I’m glad to see they believe in the 2nd Amendment over there. Teaching gun safety at such young ages is to be applauded.

That’s going to REALLY ANGER the Ukraine War supporters...people who prefer to have their little boys dress as girls and NEVER touch a gun.

Don’t they understand the necessity of 57 genders, pronouns, Drag Queen Story Hour, pride parades?

Just kidding - as the NEA destroys America’s youth......

They probably learn the manual of arms for their enemies’ weapons, as well.

“This is the AK-47 assault rifle, the preferred weapon of your enemy - and it makes a very distinctive sound when fired at you, so remember it.”

Sad. Countries that are winning don't tend to need child soldiers. Reminds me of the Germans in 1945.

The sanctions on Adidas was the West’s most punitive measure.

Unlike Ukraine, I don’t see Russian kids being sent to the Front Lines.

This is what goes on in the schools of "Civilizations" that are winning.

If this was just some obscure political movement confined to a small area - it would be one thing.

But this stuff is coming out of the centralized elites of the self-advertised “Greatest Nation on Earth”, and “Last, best hope of Mankind”.

And they are truying to forcd this on every unwilling country in the world.
