Finnish High-Ranking Officer Critiquing UA Training Level

>According to the officer, Ukrainian troops do not know how to attack and their training is backward, as if straight from the Soviet Union.
>- Ukrainians think they are good soldiers. However, being in the trenches for eight years, scared, does not make you a skilled soldier. Training makes a soldier, the officer downloads.
>That is why the Finnish officer has taken it upon himself to improve the training of Ukrainian soldiers, especially non-commissioned officers.
>He does not want to appear in public with his name and face. According to the officer, his military rank in Ukraine could even raise eyebrows in Russia, even though he is no longer in permanent service in Finland and does not represent Finland.
--
>What is particularly fatal for the continuation of the war is that, in the officer's opinion, Ukrainian troops are incapable of fast-paced mobile warfare. That is why the war has become bogged down in old-fashioned positional warfare, in which the enemy's soldiers are killed by artillery.
>- The Ukrainian offensive is a frontal assault. You don't know how to hook," says the officer.
>The officer says it is easier to lead a frontal assault, but the result is a barely moving front line and huge losses. The cost of an armed war is high for both sides, but Ukraine has fewer reserves than Russia.
--
>In his opinion, the main problem is not the lack of weapons, but the fact that the Ukrainian armed forces are simply not competent enough.
>- The Ukrainians have a tremendous will and desire to win, but they will not succeed with this kind of warfare. I have not seen any signs of that," the officer says.

    >The West is trying to tip the balance of power in Ukraine's favour with massive arms aid. In the officer's view, this is necessary, but not enough.
    >The most effective way to change the situation, he says, would be better training of soldiers - and Finnish military training would suit the Ukrainians very well.
    >- The Finnish army currently has the best training in the world against Russia. We have been practising it for a hundred years, and we have even fought two wars," the officer recalls.
    >The United States has trained special forces in Ukraine in particular, but the officer does not praise the model.
    >- No one else has the same expertise in the forest and in the terrain as Finland. That's what we should be training here," he says.
    >Finns have already provided some training in Ukraine. But it has been on a small scale and on a voluntary basis. According to the officer, there would be plenty of willing instructors in Finland if the Ukrainian and Finnish defence ministries could agree.
    >- There would be a flood of reservists. Financially, it would be a piece of cake, the officer says - a pittance.
    >Increasing military training would be the most cost-effective way to help the Ukrainians, he says.
    >- That's why I'm here now, because it's pitiful how poorly trained rank and file soldiers and non-commissioned officers are sent to the front and come back in a coffin," he says.

            If you treat Linebacker II in bombing the shit out of North Vietnam into submission as a military victory, yes. If you look at Vietnam as an overall geopolitical conflict, obviously not.
            GWOT would apply as well. From the perspective of a military victory? Yes, the US flattened the Iraqi military and Taliban. The occupation is where moronation went pretty far but still counts as a victory. Politically Afghanistan was a political loss the moment it was occupied and goals shifted from c**tpunting Bin Laden to death.

          don't bother arguing with shills and tourists
          as someone who followed the low intensity conflict going on since 2014 up until 2021 both sides are complete garbage
          there were a fair few videos from the frontlines on ukraine's side of the soldiers shittalking the absolute state of the military and the government to foreign documentarians but a mysteriously large portion of these vanished off places like youtube during march 2022
          coverage of the russian side was far more limited when it came to material available in english (but russian independent coverage was relatively good, apparently, although due to certain reasons you had to read between the lines - I don't speak russian, so I can't attest to this personally)
          both sides were completely fricked in terms of logistics, corruption, overall organisation and individual level morale between 2014-2021
          but ukraine was in that state willfully, they actively refused to receive the full amount of help that was available and most people in command level positions were convinced there would never be a war so accepting help meant antagonising russia and looking weak overall
          you can't fix fundamental levels of organisational moronation like that in 1 or 2 years
          in one of those videos one of the soldiers said he believed the country had missed their chance, war would come and they would be as unready as 2014
          which is pretty much what ended up happening
          the only reason they didn't get completely fricked was because russians were making all the exact same mistakes, except on a larger scale and with a higher level of effective organisational moronation

            Easy way to refute the argument is most of the Ukrainian soldiers haven't been getting training in Ukraine but in NATO nations.

            How is it that the Ukrainians getting trained in England, the United States, Poland, Germany, and other countries don't have this problem but only this one Finnish guy has that problem.

            The closest answer is because he's attempting to train Territorial Defense Forces, he's trying to teach militia who's job is to sit in a trench and act as filler troops to launch attacks.

              I haven't really heard anything at all about the overal state of training of the ukies, not really. I've mainly just heard that the russians are completely moronic.

              I know they get trained for 5 weeks here in bongland but none of that would mitigate bad command at the higher level nor undo the slavshit honour culture inherted from the USSR.

              Either way the article basically said that this situation is changing for the better, so as long as they don't frickup and waste their soldiers in some dumb holy war for bakhmut once they get their bradleys up and running they could still make a counterattack.

              From a messaging standpoint I can live with "train more ukranians" especially as training is really good value for money when it comes to results

      Also SOf training from the west would be alright if this was some insurgency in a sand shithole not a full blown arty war on steppes of europe.
      What you need is good training and doctrine to fit hundreds of thousands of men not a 10-20k well trained troops.
      This facts get downplayed and outright ignored by both Ukraine and their western suppoerters.

        >duh they're dumb boomers hehe xD
        Is stupid because what is Ukraine suppose to do? Again, are they to take out hundreds of thousands of men off the front and start a 5 year training program? Ukraine is fighting for its existence. It doesn't have time to do that. So they are - sadly - resorting to what they know. There is no way this can be improved because there just isn't enough spare manpower to train in suitable numbers for a suitable amount of time. It should have started last year in March (well it did but the UK only do like 3,000 a month). My point is, again, that the training cannot come NOW because there is a war on. So it is drips and drabs, what they can spare. It isn't the amounts needed. But pointing this out doesn't fix the situation. It's not some magical unknown thing that only this Finnish guy has spotted. Plenty of people have pointed it out for months. But the same reply has been given - there isn't the 500,000 guys freely available to be sent to Western countries to be trained.

        >>We train 30,000 guys, they go back and train some more
        what, are they supposed to pack training facilities in their pockets and bring it with them home?

        What? If you know how to train people, you can train people at your own facilities in Ukraine. How is this a strange thing to do

          The finnish guy isn't requesting that they take 500,000 guys off the front for European training courses, you're just strawmaning at this point. Ukrainians could easily take 10,000 infantry (at a time) spread across the entire front into their reserves, send them somewhere like the Baltics or Finland, train them for combat in environments similar to Ukraine, and then ship them back to the front to see if those men have improved at all. It's not like soldiers sit in their trenches 24/7, 365. Men get cycled to and from the front for morale purposes, so in the cycling period just send more rear echelon troops out of Ukraine to sharpen their skills. Videos of Ukrainians all dismounting from their vehicles in front of ATGM and/or machine guns aren't just Vatnik propaganda, a lot of these poor frickers are seriously just that clueless and it would be a lot more beneficial to be fighting an incompetant enemy with competant soldiers.

        It's the Finnish state media and it's not the first time they have story criticizing the level of skill Ukrainian fighters, the earlier story is linked there as well.
        Yle has been pretty consistent on it's anti-russian messaging. They have been calling the whole operation russia's invasion from day one. Lot of western media calls it just war or 'ukraine war' which is imo weak and gives room for people who call themselves anti-war. So when they let something like this 'slip' it is because they believe it's true. Maybe they are being too honest or harsh but I believe what the guy telling is something that he saw, not made up. He could be generalizing but make it what you will.

    It's the Finnish state media and it's not the first time they have story criticizing the level of skill Ukrainian fighters, the earlier story is linked there as well.
    Yle has been pretty consistent on it's anti-russian messaging. They have been calling the whole operation russia's invasion from day one. Lot of western media calls it just war or 'ukraine war' which is imo weak and gives room for people who call themselves anti-war. So when they let something like this 'slip' it is because they believe it's true. Maybe they are being too honest or harsh but I believe what the guy telling is something that he saw, not made up. He could be generalizing but make it what you will.

              Ukrainians don't seem to think their opinion matters. Why do you think they should suddenly start taking advice from some volunteer military instructors who came to their country uninvited? Also, one of the guys interviewed in the article (Kenneth Grägg) has been exposed as a conman, and this is not even mentioned in the article. I mean goddamn, Yle even made an article about him and his background in the beginning of the war, but now it seems they've conveniently forgotten all about his past and portray him as a proper military expert:

In the report of the PBS NewsHour program, he can be seen there in military clothes during the exercises, but according to STT's eyewitness observation, he did not participate in any practical exercise activities at that time. He is also seen in military clothes in AFP photos.

    What he's saying is absolutely fricking true though and parallels my own experiences and takeaways from training them so far.
    They are stuck in a very rigid mentality of simply pushing forwards, they don't maneuver, they don't bother with anything but brute force for the most part. Slowly but surely they are getting out of that mindset, but anyone saying otherwise is either a brainless moron who gobbles up what they choose to believe as they see fit, or shills acting in bad faith.

        Battalion commander of a mechanized battalion, with the battalion having mixed amounts for training. Some with frontline combat experience, some fresh out of basic training.
        Me in particular? I'm talking from observing a battalion level exercise.
        They had to assault through a breach consisting of antitank ditches and a notional minefield, with the OPFOR consisting of a platoon of tanks and a mechanized infantry company.
        They absolutely got shit on. They didn't utilize indirect fires, they didn't aggressively press the attack into and through the breach, and once they made it across the breach they milled about until they got picked off by tanks and dismounted AT squads.
        They NEED more training, and bad.

    Man, I don't know why pointing out Ukrainians are really poorly trained creates so much butthurt. Just accept it and ask for training, just like how you ask for more materiel. Instead you guys go into an absolutely schizo melt down every time it's pointed out how badly trained everybody is. Zelensky could literally make a statement about how Ukraine needs training than it needs equipment tomorrow, and get enough publicity to get something done on that front. Meanwhile Britain is supposedly training ten thousand men (have they returned yet?). Surely the other countries, especially the EU ones, can take in some men as well. But anyway, stop being so butthurt about it, it's really quite pathetic.

        Blaming everything on false flags is the easy way out. They clearly are not though, they put in effort into proving Ukraine are trained gods, like in that thread with the arab-tier fight a few days ago. I get it, admitting that you're under-trained clowns hurts a lot more than saying that you're under-equipped, but just live with it man. Surely it's more beneficial to admit it and start an impetus for better training than flinging shit everywhere every time it's pointed out.

      Same aplies to Russia.

      He has the point. Finnish forest tactics and capabilities created for these tactics were fascinated. There is excellent article published in Russia about it but it's in Russian.
      And here is the thing these forest tactics were created purely theoretical and using exercise, not battle proven before 1939 at all. Soviets tried to copy Finnish flanking maneuvers in 1939 and immediately fell flat on the face because they had no training, procedures and equipment for that. Point here Finnish created system first in theory then successfully put into practice from the first try. There is good possibility they can do it again on the new level of technology.

      It's not. Nobody arguing in good faith disagrees with that basic assessment. But this article is couched in so many "but"s and "except"s and has already been cooped by the sort of politically-poisomed morons that will argue until they're blue in the face that this is PROOF Ukraine will lose that fence-sitting and being objective is impossible. The only answer is to just not reply to those posts and focus on the topic, which no one here is capable of doing. So the thread becomes shit.

      OP being a massive homosexual who doubles down on "MUH NAFO troony MODS SUPPRESSING THE TRUTH I WILL CONTINUE SPAMMING" doesn't help perception. It just reeks of "I will adjust the thread until this obviously politically-motivated thread is allowed."

      I posted in the second thread earlier today. Mods can see post history. The OP who posted the first two threads had very obvious leanings and I'm almost certain his post history would back up that claim. This thread is probably only still alive because mods are willing to give this "new" OP the benefit of the doubt. The obvious /misc/ transplants screaming about trannies and HATO are the ones who'll get this thread deleted, almost certainly, because they are morons who claim objectivity and then immediately become violently argumentative unless you repeat their talking points (like Russians in general).

    The OP translation is accurate, but he left out some of the praise for Ukraine and only translated the critical comments.
    TL;DR The officer is correct, but Ukies are beginning to learn whereas Russia's situation keeps getting worse

    >In Kiev, Yle also met two Finnish soldiers who had participated in the fighting and asked them to assess the skills of the Ukrainian troops. One of them has a rather optimistic view, but the other thinks that the Finnish officer's criticism is right on the mark.
    >Kenneth Grägg says he is working with three Ukrainian battalions on the eastern front, including on training.
    >In Grägg's view, the criticism of the Ukrainian officers' military skills is partly justified. Last year, according to Grägg, reserve lieutenants who had attended university were recruited with such poor training that even the recruits knew more.
    >"It went down the drain", says Grägg, but he says the situation is much brighter now.
    >Grägg also thinks the chain of command has become more flexible. In Ukraine, rank-and-file soldiers are now given more decision-making power in combat situations, and the training of non-commissioned officers has improved.
    >In Grägg's view, Ukraine's recent losses are mainly due to the fact that there are so many Russian soldiers as a result of the mobilisation. This was seen, for example, in January when Russia took the town of Soledar.
    >"We didn't have enough artillery and the Russians came through en masse," says Grägg.
    >However, Grägg says that in the future, Russian mobilisation will not work as well because Russia is running out of weapons.
    >"They can put a million men on the front line by force, but what do they give them? An axe?" Grägg asks.
    >In Grägg's view, Western arms aid to Ukraine is changing the balance of power. If Ukraine receives tanks, howitzers and F-16 fighters from the West, Grägg predicts that the war will end in Ukrainian victory by Midsummer.
