In recent years of war in Ukraine, with the increasing demand for military training, new companies have emerged on the market offering tactical simulators. While this may seem promising, not all manufacturers guarantee their equipment’s high quality and effectiveness. This article will discuss what to pay attention to before purchasing tactical simulators.
Experience and Reputation of the Company
Before deciding to purchase equipment from a particular manufacturer, it is important to research its experience in the field of military simulation and evaluate its reputation among clients. Thoroughly check reviews and recommendations from other military organizations or servicemembers who have already used the company’s products.
SKIFTECH Team has been developing and manufacturing tactical simulators for over 10 years. Our simulators are in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine, the State Border Guard Service, and other state military organizations of Ukraine. We also cooperate with the US Department of Energy since 2017, providing tactical training to servicemembers stationed at nuclear power plant facilities.
