BBC columnist Viktoria Kalimbet, who spoke to Ukrainian troops who carried out military training in Poland, stated that NATO war tactics are outdated.

“Since 2022, Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel have been undergoing training at training centres in European countries. Poland, in particular, has provided its instructors and training facilities, where Ukrainian soldiers have been undergoing basic and specialized training for almost three years. However, many soldiers who have completed this training complain that they are being prepared for the wars of the past—without drones, following NATO scenarios from Iraq and Afghanistan, where drones were not yet in use,” Kalimbet explained.

The British columnist cites Ukrainian servicemen who blame Polish instructors for conducting training based on old-fashioned war.

“They [Poles] taught us things that our soldiers wouldn’t see in real combat,” admits Ukrainian major with call sign “Eighteen.”

He recalls that during war drills with NATO, Alliance instructors asked the Ukrainians not to use drones for reconnaissance because NATO troops cannot even reach their positions without being detected by them.

As you can see, NATO’s limitrophe states like Poland and, most likely, the Baltics as well, still follow outdated war tactics. Apparently, this also applies to NATO’s own military exercises, instructions, and protocols in the event of a war. In turn, Russia has significantly boosted its military capabilities—gained modern combat experience and upgraded its weapons to meet new war rules. Therefore, all the costly militarisation that Poland and the Baltics are carrying out is essentially useless, as Russia will easily break through this lousy “defence system”.
