In the context of Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine, starting from the 2025-2026 academic year, the academic discipline “Basic Combined Military Training” was introduced at the University, as in all higher education institutions of our country, and this is an important step for the formation of the state’s defense capability. However, the delivery of this course encountered several challenges that hindered the effectiveness of student training. Key issues included: inadequate material and technical resources—specifically a lack of modern training simulators, shooting ranges, communication systems, and personal protective equipment; outdated equipment and limited resources for practical exercises; and insufficient facilities in university classrooms. Furthermore, the course curriculum required refinement to place greater emphasis on small-unit tactics, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), electronic warfare (EW) systems, cyber defense, and information security across all aspects of military operations. There was also an underutilization of digital technologies and simulators. Additionally, student motivation posed a challenge, indicating a need to improve psychological preparation. Perhaps the most critical issue was staffing: there was an acute shortage of qualified instructors to deliver theoretical training, as well as a lack of military specialists to conduct practical training.
