London: Russian students should learn war

Moscow brings war into classrooms. According to British secret services, students will soon be given lessons in weapons and wound care. The aim is the cultivation of a “militarized patriotism”.
According to British intelligence experts, Moscow wants to swear Russian society to war by teaching them weapons and drones in schools. This emerges from the daily intelligence report from the Ministry of Defense in London. In it, the British quoted a Russian politician as saying that all Russian schoolchildren should learn how to use drones for reconnaissance purposes and how to fend off combat drones.
As early as September 1, Russian schoolchildren in grades 10 and 11 will be given lessons in assault rifles, hand grenades and first aid for the wounded. Real capabilities are less the goal than the cultivation of “militarized patriotism,” according to the British assessment.
However, the inclusion of drone instruction in the curriculum also shows that Russia has identified the use of tactical unmanned aerial vehicles in Ukraine as an enduring feature of modern warfare. The British Ministry of Defense has published daily information on the course of the war since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine in February 2022. Moscow accuses London of disinformation.
