that concern us about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w talk cost. okay. that's what it's what transfer can you hear me? can you hear me? yeah. we're, we're, you hit dollars got better. okay, that's what i mean. the to clean and it's the leg, the bandage on. got it and that's the point. nice seems to

be the baltimore is unpredictable. it's better to be prepared if you want me to know what to do. if things ever gets serious a stimulus touch, i'd like to say more and more people preparing themselves for the sort of situation that sorta, when y'all went to beach the . this is a rifle range in august of a town in northeast to poland. the president of the local gun club cheque truce. kosky is preparing the range for a public training session whole this semester. okay . okay. now we can shoot. are looking for everybody. yeah. check

a 50 year old truck driver and gun enthusiast runs the club in his spare time. he personally instructs the club members twice a month. they get together to practice book ready, low they use live ammunition the this is what i want to make because they were open to everyone. i'm not just members only to anyone that can come along and see if guns are for them. but objects it gives you asked me shooting is for everyone. i think the problem is everybody should try it out for boys. how much that munition do you want them to? how much is it? he said he is on a property 5 slot, 8 a year, a year with colleagues issue minds at our turn generally generally gets busy people

. you have to wait in line with like in the old days under communism is that that's a fed as well as club members with their own weapons. there are also a lot of new comers came to tried shooting for the 1st time demand. poland rifle range as, as high as a consequence of search in the war. and ukraine has made us incredibly popular here the, the group of all, you know, since the russian aggression began to move, we've noticed a significant increase in the math instead of just to hold you. especially from people who have no previous experience. yes, with weapons, i don't know since the beginning of the war and ukraine, membership at they go storm shooting club house more than doubled. the new members even include children, accompanied by their parents. poland has no age restrictions on. small caliber weapons, a lovely southern tame lift. keep your arm straight

to the city. when you finish, take a step back up and wait for the next command. they'll come in with all these emails and my timesheets or target programs for the g. mostly it's fathers coming with their children. well, cool by cool. i'll let their suppose boys and girls shifting the in some in what she might have. but my daughter, she needs machine, but we grown ups have to somehow and you're still in the younger generation. these are the will to defend themselves, but a change it over on the 1st on my son, he started in the scouts and then suggested we tried the shooting range and i wanted to see what it was like. the nice overall and very impressive piece of mind, there's a focus on safety and there's demand for it to come up with lots of my friends have been shooting for a long time. but the reason political events have definitely prompted more people to take it up for shooting practice isn't folk something the stage wants to

encourage their plans to build more than 500 new rifle ranges and to make accessing firearms simpler. in 2022 weapons training was made compulsory for school children in the 8th grade fears of a russian attack or driving poles to take up arms. yeah. checks the civilians with the right training have a role to play. you start with the automatic logic, physical males, whole and it has a whole army of civilians who know how to shoot for on the voice. gordon. 70000. yes. for the a full month's insurance and they do it as a sport, but military weapons work the same way. all you project when you missed precise front of them. there are other hunters. so who, so to some fund where basically are kind of silent, reserved for the farm. once they are in an emergency, we could quickly be ready to assist. so somebody said overall total into seeing a clear trend towards military preparedness over on the most the

end, it's not just citizens were arming themselves since russia invited ukraine. the polish government has spent around 14 and a half 1000000000 euros on missile defense systems, tanks and floor plans. new equipment is shown off to the public at so called military picnics around the country. their plans to increase military spending to 5 percent of g d p as well as to raise trip numbers from 164002300000. nowhere in poland. just the warfield closer than here in the foothills of the carpet and mountains, possession of the regional capital is less than 90 kilometers from the ukrainian border. the city has become a new nato outpost. it's airport is

a hub for western arm shipments bound for ukraine. the every day military aircraft arrived, carrying us air defense systems, munitions, and armored vehicles. the area is strictly monitored, and filming is just about impossible. the comedy of mazda who was born and grew up in joshua of, of the 23 year old hopes to join the army. soon since his school days, he's been a volunteer which toilets one of poland, many paramilitary groups. since the war began, the organization has grown in popularity. they shall feel, but here's my, still it stress uniform. we won't go to go over the phone. so i go from next to

them, so missed on the miles and not a little bit above. i quoted ski florida or fios uniforms jackets or leases or 2 and also loot of equipment like not just purchased. and tactical bells are bus effected snack companies that will keep the ball so it must up. you've got helmet, a gas mask hearing protection for the shooting recall should go on there or full of tributes at that phone to put you with this type of rate. and pointing to medicinal and everything you need for a 1st aid kit setters levels. are you a little closing up? that's x comedy, elsie's, what he does as preparation for a career in the military. he's also joined up as a volunteer with the territorial defense force, a home guard that exists alongside the professional army, to select a postpone signal to sneak through school luckiest place. i was wondering what to do with my life. josh means i decided that at some point i would like to join the army football, profess my goal. total beach for me is about strengthening our country's potential

. we've added security less of a kyle of it. so i will tell us the less the price of bushy last little you pull a lot of the population. that's why i'm with stress that she was and why i want to join the army some all once a month coming and goes to a barracks, to train with the territorial defense force. he and does the unit also it says the regular army and securing the airport, making coffee. yeah. want one. yeah. that's coming and still lives with his parents and 2 younger siblings. his father has just come home from work right now alongside to tablets and his duties and the territorial defense force coming hardly has any time to spend with his family. people. are you on duty again soon? question. yes, definitely. sometime this month like that about but also i looked at the airport.

yeah. so is there some kids that will be there to swap the warranty crane has made judge of the same as the know could i, you know, yes, they're looking for cities. airport is now strategically important to the west, starting east simple us and nato troops are stationed there. so there's always come out to be pushing and all get involved. the cold weather is playing a new important role as the echo the drug decisions and not. so now we're part of nato is and it's 1st line of defense ceiling and 0. but i sure if push comes to shove, will be the 1st to be attacked and some of the engine up yet a she's always have to arm ourselves as she motioned me to the right. and shes going to a little sales out. talk about why the buying russian has attacked ukraine. but are you not the who's to say there won't be a tax on other countries? so instead of putting it, it's of course we're proud of. our son will thoughts. he's constantly on active service needs to know whether it's with charlottes or the territorial defense for. so it sounds like steven a territorial volunteers receive just under

a $170.00 euros a month for their service. but they're not professional soldiers. a few weeks ago coming to apply to join the regular army. he's waiting to hear back. many of camels friends, also challenge talents while they were still in school. and several are now in the army. he's meeting up with some of them to go bowling. so let's go in the that you nice, nice. uh you got one. what about the

for tell me linda. it's friends. it's plain to see how the war has changed. their hometown, whether in bars, restaurants or bowling alleys. american soldiers are now ever present as well as a nato stronghold. joshua is also an important logistics help for the us army. almost 5000 us military personnel are now stationed in the city. but they don't talk to journalists so that i'd say that the americans are part of our everyday lives. like you're at the bowling alley, other thoughts about it. we have no real contact with each other. we don't make any sense of us product and they live in their world. and we live in our shop now, ms. floyd. some are already referring to joshua as the new ramstein, a reference to the us air base in germany. the city has become

a symbol of colin's new strategic importance within nato. and the whole list getting a lot more attention now. that's also forcing us to expand our army to make it one of the best in europe, or even in nato. like that's kind of impressed when i don't know if it's, if not all the, the armed forces themselves or heavily promoting that expansion. since october 2022, the army has been offering free one day courses in some of the countries barracks. the sessions offer an introduction to basic military skills. here in warsaw participants have gathered at a military academy. first, they get to witness a short demonstration by real soldiers. a simulated combat mission should

focus and the thought of today's demonstration gibson, impression of how combat operations are carried out with the squad leader gives the signal to the cadets. then carry out a patrol, track down, and eliminate the enemy easily to the one. if you do need to the, anyone between the ages of 16 and 65 can take part. according to the ministry of defense, there are more applicants than available sponsor among those who have signed up our mag deborah don scott, and i'm going to ask of all yes. the 2 friends from warsaw heard about the training program on television. just it sounds like it's because you know, we live in such a turbulent time spot. it's important to get some minute treat trainings on. yeah,

sometimes hopefully we'll learn some basics. hey, i hope things that might be useful in the future. just got some of that. i'm super close book. so that's just where we've never aside. guns will threaten grenades and so it was about just us. we're here to get a sense of it. so just to gain some completely new experience that kim, on the phone has the phone and session i go. nashika is a principal at a primary school. my daughter is a fitness trainer. the 1st thing on their agenda is hand to hand combat. it'd be like just a futile like i quickly knocked the knife out of his hand and moved back. oh, was it? yeah, hang on me. okay, i'll hold it loosely. bravo. or in groups of 8 to 10 people may take part in various exercises, survival, training,

piloting drones and weapons training. the instructors are seasoned soldiers, most of whom have previously been deployed to for on the web. and it's very intuitive. there's only one way it works on the right for me like this is quite heavy. so it takes a lot of practice going through all of some help. so work i'm using the rifle is basically quite simple. and although they just need to memorize each step carefully as would be so you don't make any mistakes or some kind of, you know, because you all did not pull this lever down. and the width is an automatic mode. here we can check whether there's

a cartridge in the chamber of the strap shouldn't be around my neck, right? so long as it's too short for you. it should be longer visit the cook to say it's a way of combining the fun with the practical, like a. well, you have a good time, but you will say learn something new with the traditional, vague events rectangular as possible. and effective idea with nice weather and professionals who know exactly what they're doing. and the ministry of defense is the courses are in response to ignore most popular demand. after russia invaded ukraine, the polish military was flooded with requests for training from both men and women . for as nashika and mazda, it's now time to learn the proper stance to use when firing a weapon the

semester. so that's good. this is the shooting position with my left leg slightly forward. i get the trouble that a 10 foot highway secure the weapon numbers good. so i'm going okay. step 2 inputs box. i lou are the right thing to remove the magazine and put it away. step 3, i take a new magazine and pull back the lock and start over again. we've got some a, a, a sca and mark don't get to use like the munition just yet. instead, they try out a simulator the ship of all, but it sounds well i really enjoyed shooting with hand guns to simulate to shows you exactly what mistakes you're making long. you've been that even more vulnerable to go the line. he's back on the talk here. i don't know how well prepared we can

be able to provide just a moment on that, but exercises like this definitely goes some way to helping us be ready if there ever were a conflict situation. sure. that my supervisee of the knowledge, i definitely encourage my friends to come along the, even though calling that a did system and i've already decided to sign up to take part in the next quarter. so i'm, i'm in one place has become available. she typically invest the programs official aim is to rouse interest and to attract applicants for either the army or the territorial defense force which offers logistical support to the professional army. the forces membership has increased dramatically since the start of the war, that as well as its proximity to ukraine. there is another reason that poland is strategically important for nato. this is the civil

kick at a 70 kilometer long stretch of land along the polish lithuanian border. this is all that separates the russian exclaim of colleen and grad from belle. over is a close ally of moscow. it's seen as a potential achilles heel for the nato alliance. the atmosphere here is tens, especially since mercenaries from russia's bosner group had been stationed and delivers the shooting range and alco stuff is just a 30 minute drive from the bellows in border so it would take you stuff to zones of every now and then we see military columns on the road here. it's a reminder that something is going on, so she should like, but we don't think too much about it and you know some of them and just keep you on, move it jerome is for you. we focus on a role the civilians come us for you from such a does, it'll be army,

it has its own work to do and we have hours like, or so use spectrum or. and if anything happens we'll be ready. probably about 30 minutes. remember, you're using a different weapon, but you have to adapt to share with us just when i got used to the other ones that keep going last year. yeah, check also decided to join the territorial defense force, which that's because this is a queen that has the old saying goes on. but if you want peasy and repair for war to reset this potential, aggressor, see the poland disarming itself, or when they see that we have more and more people who know how to use weapons agree and that are firing ranges are becoming more and more popular. sort of insights than they might think. okay, it's not worth attacking volunteers to let's suspect, what sort of positive us perfect down the thought is that you've used to moser, it doesn't say the can when you see how you create in civilians. have done their bit with their own territorial defense force. the voice of both of them is also

a motivation for us here and call into vince moot. the 2nd one was that many more moments as well. yeah, cause vicki lugens, it shows that even ordinary people who aren't professional soldiers can make a difference meaning months of much and we're still not that much. i'm associated with probably just that the a few minutes before the body style. good. change the smell of the thoughts of the the job of getting military training to polish civilians largely falls on paramilitary groups like charlotte's. the ministry of defense estimates that up to 100000 people, a train with such groups. and that number is on the rise. 2 years ago,

camille was still a new recruit. now he gets lessons on behalf of shell. it's once a week, as joshua's high school shut up, shut the sit down, but still i said sit down and people just drop out before we tell him alongside normal lessons, the school offers military training. it also promoted to the local territorial defense for us to ship them up to ship. our 1st topic is medicine on the battlefield. general, caring for the wounded is up. take all your medical equipment into backpacks with you love to talk. you take the bags and wait in the car the door uh the check catch in. uh, because it does show nothing. we just get ship them up. so we give the window person 1st 8 and if possible, get them off the battlefield. is that clear? no,

that's the letter the put the bandage on to the point nice seems to be delores unpredictable is better to be prepared to know what to do with things ever get serious, but i'd like to see more and more people preparing themselves for these sorts of situations he's a bad side as well. feel some sort of thoughts just portraits up on. yeah. what i'll beach shallots is pullman's, largest and oldest pair military 3. but it was founded at the beginning of the 20th century ago before poland was a sovereign state. it was never part of the polish armed forces, but traditionally, the army has always look to paramilitary groups like charlotte's to find recruits. so let's fill it. your role is to create people citizens folder and also military recruitment center as partners miss. yes, most of the people involved, we'll join the army at some point in touch, looking at the voice, cuz we don't train soldiers here. and i mean,

your session wants that we turn young people into responsible and peach tree of successes. and oh, my gosh, the whole search all and i think just hope having said that we do see ourselves as part of the national system of defense that almost you price for shipping. well, that's what i get a bit higher. okay. i was officially vis a vis a vis i visited just as a 2nd young was manual. my parents are probably the best people to ask them about charlotte, so she to me, but as a uh, what's the product that i like you, but i do think it was my personality has changed. how to the show much ok to call them up like, you know, i'd like to become even more drawn to the military to higher ours is on the following orders. terms provide you with the subpoena. most of the know so most of us spoke volumes of drugs, i think being here has taught me the true meaning of the discipline for the child. the next morning, come in and prepares for a military provide its armed forces stay and he's going to take part in the parade

wearing his shell and stress uniform. order for all uniform connects us with previous generations who fought for our freedom so that we can live in an independent country today. let me just a moment. we can't take that independence for granting money. we have to protect it with me as care for the way you with a small child. but that was just shopping of us to say mind, yes, cool was the military traditions play a major role in poland? a country with a history of being invaded and occupied on armed forces day the battle of warsaw as commemorated. the polish victory over soviet troops and 1920 parades are held

throughout the country. it's also a chance for the nation to demonstrate its military readiness. apparent military troops, march side by side with the army. this will probably be coming is last time marching as a member ref shallots. but the army has accepted him and then a few weeks he'll be sworn in as a professional soldier. he can hardly wait, though he's not allowed to reveal any details about the unit. he'll be joining the thing is up. so there are always a threat. suppose 2 of us that you have to keep an eye on everything we action on what types of things with our yeah, these are frequently the future of our army. looks good. the level of trust that we have a modern military that's moving forward. my sons, my journey began to show that i'm only about an hour will be serving and the polish army scheme, but yes, but for me it isn't that you all but service and being ready to serve means be aware of your g 3 is got the of of of things you'll sacrifice, but also the things you'll gain because this culture, the

coming on has no reason to worry about his career prospects. despite a change of government in 2023 defense spending look set to continue for the polish people's fears of a possible russian invasion, have brought a fresh determination to defend their homeland. the tradition we need to

talk to is cultural identity with just the why does it contain hunters and protested take. so in 15 minutes on the w, the phone that basically means what about the key point 6 times more likely to have voice and loan functions as compared to mid air pollution. the biggest health problems for everyone. working out tools in danny by survey, this is increasing and there is now a drive for more protection and less pollution eco, india. and 19 minutes. and d, w the,
