We want to show the capabilities of Avangard and tell you that the initial military training for today's youth takes place in an ultra-modern format."

On this day, new people saw skydiving simulators, car driving simulators, multimedia, pneumatic and practical shooting ranges, and much more.

A tent with master classes on first aid, robotics modeling, working with various types of weapons and radiation, chemical and biological protection equipment aroused the interest of visitors at the central site.
