There's a piece of general training in nature, orientation of other things that we've learned in civil protection training. Then they learn about the components of weapons and mines. There's a total of about 300 applicants in total, and we're excited to see six-year-old children being brought by their parents to participate in training” explained Vukelic for REL, the Periscope broadcast.
