ABC News(KYIV, Ukraine) In a secret location in Northern Ukraine sits one of the country s biggest training centers for mobile air defense units.
In the large open-air area, soldiers train to shoot drones with machine and anti-aircraft guns mounted on pick-up trucks. Some of those weapons are at least two times older than the young Ukrainian soldiers who are learning to operate them.
"Everything we have, every help we get, we use it to create mobile fire groups to fill every inch of space here," Lieutenant General Serhii Nayev, responsible for Ukraine s Northern border defense, told ABC News during a recent visit to the training center.
More than 600 miles long, the border touches both Belarus and Russia. With winter coming, here in the North, there is no fog of war, apart from half a million mines, according to Nayev. But the real threat comes from the air.
Far from towns and prying eyes, Ukrainian instructors are launching dummy drones a central part of the training
