Soldiers and Children's University

Soldiers of the “General Milan Rastislav Štefánik” Transport Wing Kuchyňa put together a rich programme for child students of Children's Comenius University. They had the opportunity to see a static display of weaponry and equipment, followed by a dynamic demonstration of a fire incident response by the Defence Fire and Rescue Service. The MOD has supported Children's Comenius University since 2011. While at Kuchyňa Air Base, the students were also visited by Minister of Defence Peter Gajdoš. Speaking in front of the child audience, Head of the MOD said: “It is in our interest that we give children an idea of what the work of military professionals is like, so that we can stimulate their interest in learning more about Homeland Defence and in playing a role in the defence of our country.” Besides a line-up of displays and competitions on the programme, children were also treated to a military lunch.
