The salary of cadets who come to the training center from the Tactical-Classical complex is 20,000 UAH. This was reported by the 151st training center of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to 'Glavcom'.

At the same Time, the salary of instructors is up to 30,000 UAH. The main directorate of doctrines and training of the General Staff stated that they are looking for opportunities to increase the salary of instructors and provide them with a social package.

The problem of training centers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, where mobilized servicemen are prepared, is the lack of instructors: according to the General Staff, on average about 25% of instructor positions remain unfilled. In addition, only 60-70% of instructors have combat experience since 2022. According to a directive from the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Alexander Syrsky, the General Staff plans to change the situation so that each instructor of the training center has combat experience during a major war, as the experience of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) or participation in conflicts in hot spots around the world is inadequate.

In particular, they plan to involve veterans of the major war who have been wounded in teaching work. It should be noted that the commanders of combat units, who are fighting on the front line, do not want to release experienced fighters for work in training centers. Especially in modern conditions, when the situation on the front line is extremely tense.

Recall that as of November 1, 2024, the duration of training for mobilized soldiers in training centers was increased from one month to one and a half months; the number of hours of firearms training has almost doubled, and new training directions that were not previously available have been implemented. In particular, they take into account combat actions in working with enemy UAVs and others. This was reported by the main directorate of doctrines and training of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Also, the main directorate of doctrines and training of the General Staff hopes for the support of Western partners in fully equipping Ukrainian training centers with training materials, simulators, and weapon samples. Of course, a certain number of mobilized servicemen will have the opportunity to undergo basic general military training courses at NATO's training grounds. According to the information from the General Staff, this year about 20,000 mobilized soldiers have undergone such training in NATO, and in total, more than 120,000 people have been trained since the beginning of the major war.

It should be noted that the basic military training of a soldier-shooter in a state training center lasts about one and a half months and costs 200,000 UAH.
