Exclusive: US coaches Polish forces in a drone-focused drill based on lessons from Ukraine
On a moonless and rainy night in Germany, Polish special forces soldiers embarked on a training exercise aimed at simulating a drone strike on an enemy location. This exercise, the first of its kind for a NATO ally, draws from lessons learned during Ukraine's conflict with Russia. The U.S. Army’s Green Berets initially designed the drill for U.S. special forces, adapting it to mirror the challenges faced by Ukrainian troops.
The drill, conducted by two different Green Beret teams, emphasizes the U.S. military's focus on drone warfare and its collaboration with NATO allies and Ukraine to address potential Russian threats. The 1,100-square-mile training ground in Bavaria, Germany, involves the Polish forces sneaking past a U.S. Army airborne infantry unit and traversing through civilian areas, farms, and villages, all while attempting to reach a simulated target in Grafenwoehr.
The exercise aims to test the Polish forces' ability to blend in with the local population while evading detection.
