IRISH TROOPS HAVE completed their first mission training Ukrainian soldiers in bomb disposal techniques at a base in Cyprus.
“The first Mobile Training Team of six specialist instructors from the Engineer and Ordnance Corps of the Irish Defence Forces were working alongside Cypriot military engineers delivering this training,” they said. “This non-lethal military capability enables UAF personnel to safely and efficiently conduct battlefield area clearance in areas of Ukraine that were contaminated during fighting but are now behind the frontline,” the Irish Defence Forces said.
