The footage shows young children dressed in military uniforms, learning how to handle guns and participating in simulated combat drills. Many viewers have expressed concern over the idea of children being taught how to handle weapons and engage in warfare.
However, supporters of the program argue that it is intended to instill discipline and patriotism in young people. They say that the training is similar to the programs offered by scouting organizations and that it helps children to develop important life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and self-reliance.

It is important to note that military training for children is not unique to Russia. Many countries have similar programs, such as the Young Marines in the United States and the Army Cadet Force in the United Kingdom.
