Kyiv Volunteers Get Last-Minute Training On Powerful Anti-Tank Weapons

In the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, instructors are giving last-minute training to members of the 112th Territorial Defense Brigade as the Ukrainian military prepares to defend the city from Russian attack. Some of the trainees are new recruits with no previous military experience.

UPDATE: Although the trainer in the report states that the AT4 can destroy "anything," military experts say the Swedish shoulder-fired missile is considered mostly ineffective against the thick armor of main-battle tanks.
