Russia has doubled the amount of required military training for children between the ages of 11 and 17
Courses now include lessons on drones, field exercises and firearm training, education minister Sergei Kravtsov said.
The course, known as ‘Fundamentals of Homeland Security and Defence’, will now include at least 17 hours of basic military training, adding to the 34 hours of material in total.
Schools require young students to study Russian military history, civil service, wartime survival, combat skills, firearm handling, and even learn how to use grenades.
The classes in their new format could begin as soon as September in occupied Crimea, according to Kommersant.
