Col Andy Boardman is the commander of Operation Interflex, a military collaboration between British Armed Forces and Ukraine which started in 2022.
He has helped train new recruits for the battlefield – the make-up of which, he said, was evolving all the time and becoming more technological than ever.
“Not only must we make sure we’re delivering up-to-date tactics, but [we must] also integrate some of the new technologies,” he told the BBC.
“When we started, we were doing basic soldier skills like shooting, moving around, patrolling, and first aid.
“We’re now integrating unmanned aerial systems in all aspects of our training too.”
