Practical civil protection exercises took place at Podillia State University, with instructors of the Departments of Tactical and Special Training and Special Physical Training of KhNUIA and the university’s cadets taking part. Participants practised action algorithms in simulated emergencies and learned practical ways to protect themselves in potentially dangerous situations.

KhNUIA representatives demonstrated the work of small tactical groups and techniques for detaining offenders, and also showed sambo and judo techniques. The KhNUIA Scientific and Practical Center for Mine Action also took part, and its representatives raised the issue of mine safety.

Specialists of Podillia State University, which organised the exercises, familiarised young people with the rules of conduct in case of a threat or an emergency, the main methods of protection, and techniques of pre-medical aid for victims.

In addition to the practical drills, there were sports activities: a tug-of-war between KhNUIA cadets and PSU students and an arm-wrestling competition.

The exercises helped develop emergency response skills, reinforce personal safety rules, and practise cooperation in conditions close to real ones. All activities were conducted in compliance with safety requirements.
