Military expert Oleg Zhdanov told Channel 24 about this. According to him, this is why the invaders are forced to turn to old personnel.
“The Russians have a big problem with crew training”
Zhdanov noted that the most important thing in a tank is the gunner. The accuracy of this combat vehicle depends on his skill.
They have a big problem with crew training. You won't train a new crew in 3-4 weeks, – the military expert explained.
According to him, it takes 6 months to train specialists, including tankers, by a military training unit. Therefore, the Russians were forced to turn to those who graduated from the tank school.

“Tanks of the same age as conscripts”
Military expert noted that the equipment in the Russian army is quite old. This also affects crew training.
Tanks are the same age as the conscripts themselves. This is one. But again – quality, – Zhdanov emphasized.
He added that a person who is already over 50 years old will need to remember how to work quickly on the tank on which he will be put.
By the way! Showman and volunteer Sergei Pritula recorded an appeal to the Russians. He did not call on them to stop the war or protest.
