Moscow: Russian teenagers will learn how to operate and counter military drones in the upcoming school year, according to a curriculum published Monday by the education ministry.<\/p>\n
Moscow announced last November it was re-introducing Soviet-style military training for children from 2023, as it presses ahead with its nearly 18-month offensive in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The drone course, which will be offered to pupils aged 15 to 17, comes as Russian territory is targeted by almost daily Ukrainian drone attacks and as their use becomes pivotal in the conflict.<\/p>\n
According to the education ministry\u2019s website, pupils will gain \u201can understanding of the ways in which unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used in combat\u201d.<\/p>\n
They will also \u201cperform practical tasks on drone piloting\u201d as well as \u201clearn the algorithm to counter enemy drones\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe introduction of such a program in schools will make it possible to systematically prepare our citizens for a possible confrontation with the enemy,\u201d lawmaker Sergei Mironov said in November 2022 as he advocated for the reintroduction of the training.<\/p>\n
The revised military program also includes a module dedicated to Kalashnikov assault rifles, hand grenades and shooting.<\/p>\n
Since Moscow launched full-scale hostilities against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russian authorities have led a sweeping campaign to boost patriotism at school.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
