science is becoming very relevant. Our country is defending itself against an invader,
and during the war we saw all the pros and cons of military affairs. Therefore, I really
want to bring something new to the future science. To change the training of our
military, to introduce innovative teaching methods and tools to motivate future
servicemen to study. That is why I entered the postgraduate program and will try to
bring something new to science and military training. In the future, I see myself as a

military training.
