Oleg Vyshniakov - Ukraine and Israel. Women at war.

When saying “army”, “defense of the Motherland” etc we think that it is a purely “men’s work”. However, 35% of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) soldiers are women.
In Israel to be a military woman is quite acceptable; moreover, it is an honorable duty. Since its creation in 1948, Israel had been fighting for independence. Israeli women couldn’t stand aside so they were actively participating in the defense of the country. Nowadays, 26% of the officers of the Israeli army are women. Moreover, this figure continues to increase.
Ukrainian women are brave as well. According to various mass media today about 14 000 women are fighting in Eastern Ukraine. But Israeli army has already developed and provided the females with all the necessary ammunition, whereas current problems of Ukrainian army are well-known. There are no gender differences: Ukrainian women are fighting in the men's camouflage, wearing men's shoes that are often not comfortable and not in size.
Nevertheless, Israeli experts have already developed and presented the first specialized equipment for women in Ukrainian army. The author of this project is Natalia Naumova a volunteer and a public activist.
In the war zone may be vital every detail. A new form is practical, comfortable and made from very high quality materials. Quality outfits of a soldier - is his life. Let us hope that the novelty will facilitate the already harsh life of Ukrainian women-soldiers.
