I understand the training part very well as we trained for war nonstop for it especially while at sea over my
12yrs under the seas.
I framed the "timeframe" the way I did because of what's been reported thus far concerning the Ukrainian
T-55S with a fairly advanced western FCS and gun.
They received the first of those tanks on
30 Oct '22 the Forbes article from about
10 days ago or less in my submission package clearly stated from the
reporter on the scene they were still in training with them.
It also took some time to add the
SLAT and additional
ERA package that might've taken
two weeks (?) given the numbers involved.
But the training goes
beyond knowing your equipment, it's also knowing how you are expected to operate with the units you'll be working with.
We used the concept of
CONOPS all my career whether at sea or while at the Admirals Staff Operations Center @ SUBGRU 10. This concept is used by all our military across the board. I'm sure same for all foreign militaries as well. This is as
relevant now as when published.

We are
currently in
Germany holding Brigade size training for Ukrainians soldiers at all levels of the
C&C to include
training for the trainers on the
M1A2 BRADLEY ODAS (About
1/2 of our current BRADLEY Fleet of ~2200 units.).
The purpose of which is to teach them how to more effectively use our equipment (
Interoperability) for combined arms rapid maneuver movement in battle. They've been at it for about a month. I recently posted on that along w/UK planning to
20.000 Ukrainian troops in England this year.
