The State Border Guard Service continues to strengthen measures to protect the state border of Ukraine.

In particular, the Main Personnel Training Centre successfully completed training of the mortar outpost personnel of Rapid Response Border Command of Zhytomyr Border Guard Detachment.

Training was based on calculation, reconnaissance and mortar crews training programs. Border guards learned to set targets, prepare data for firing, draw up fire cards, change firing positions, aim mortars at targets and hit them.

The final stage of training was practical shooting with a variety of fire tasks. Mortars hit stationary observed targets with semi-direct pointing and from closed firing positions.
