2/ "Vorona" was a lawyer in her civilian life.
When she joined the 🇺🇦army in 2019, she decided to become an anti-tanker.
So she successfully completed training for that demanding specialty.
As a squad commander, she still hones her professional skills and teaches her subordinates

3/ Vorona says that soldiers in her unit have to be able to operate any of the anti-tank guided missiles that 🇺🇦 Armed Forces have in service -- including Javelin or NLAW.
The defenders in Vorona's unit keep undergoing rigorous physical, tactical and combat training.

4/ Is it difficult to be a female anti-tanker?
"Yes, it's not easy", admits Vorona. "But when you hear the sound of the missile shot, when you see the exit of a missile -- and then the target that has been struck, any difficulties fade away".

Please support 🇺🇦 servicewomen and servicemen on the frontlines, if you can.
