Speaking to this newspaper, an officer said, “Four officers have been selected to go to Israel for training in Air Defence Missiles. The duration of the course is of one year.”
The selected officers will be trained on medium range surface-to-air missiles, the officer added. After completing the course, these officers will return to train the other soldiers and will command new units.
