Obviously.
We will have a lot to learn from this war when it's done. It's the first war in a while were two developed countries fight eachother.
No country has "avoid getting a grenade dropped by a drone into your trench" in their training program. But they will have to after this war.
The instructors should adjust the training after every course if the Ukrainian officers advice them too. If they don't they fail as instructors.
What the west could provide early on is to relieve the Ukrainian army with a lot of the training so they could focus on this new threat. As they have.
Ukraine also has a unique situation in that they have the soviet concepts and training in the past and now the western NATO concepts and training. They can and are going to be creating a new way of fighting that will be likely a hybrid of the both. As long as they keep getting western equipment we will keep seeing new and interesting uses of such.
