The Danish Army has conducted its first training of drone instructors as part of a new training programme that draws on, among other things, lessons learned from the war in Ukraine. The first fully trained instructors have now arrived at Camp Valdemar in Latvia.
The new training programme covers both drone flying and the tactical use of unmanned systems. The instructors have trained, among other things, at the Oksbøl firing range (western Denmark) and have been trained on reconnaissance drones as well as One-Way-Attack loitering munitions.
The training also covers cooperation within drone units, where each section consists of twelve soldiers. The instructors will now train other soldiers in Latvia and later at additional units within the Danish Defence.
