Training With Slovenian EOD Units & Civil Protection Police

Our own Chris Hawthorne MInstRE was joined by Glyn Hannah EngTech to spend two weeks in Slovenia, training units from land-based EOD and Civil Protection Police in the use of Richmond Defence System's products. 

Over the fortnight, these technicians were taught the skills required to operate equipment supplied to their units safely and effectively.

Within this fully comprehensive training package, they gained the skills to operate:

• Vulkan M2 Maxi Recoilless De-Armer Disruptor

• Viper Midi Recoilless De-Armer Disrupter

• Underwater De-Armer (Disruptor) Viper

• RW-MR M5 Multi-Role Rocket Wrench

• No8 Mk3 Fuze Extractor

• Freeze Neutralising Kit with Remote Activated Injector Kit

• Electronic Stethoscope

Our team were made to feel extremely welcome, and have made new friendships along the way.​

If you are interested in our training services, please get in touch today.
