“When we train foot soldiers here (you know, we have already trained 10 thousand, and since the beginning of the new year we have started another 20 thousand), it takes five weeks. It is difficult to say how much tankers will need to be trained - especially since they are artillerymen, mechanics, and commanders. I think that in a month and a half you can cope. If necessary, training will continue as it was before,"
