Ukraine trains combat kayakers abroad. These troops will be involved in the counteroffensive, according to Bild.

According to the publication, when crossing the river, the Armed Forces of Ukraine intend to use small operational special forces in kayaks.. Since January, Ukraine has been actively purchasing special equipment for this and attracting experts.

Bild publishes photos from the training camp, where the special forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are taught to paddle and land in full combat gear.

It is reported that this unusual way of forcing the river has its advantages: kayaks are better than motor boats for approaching enemy territory unnoticed..

In particular, there is no engine noise, and the soldiers are closer to the water..

But most importantly, the kayaks have a special coating and low-IR structure.. This means that the Russians can hardly see them in the dark with night vision goggles..
