Details
The only thing I can say is that the percentage of women, both in operational and combat (units - ed.)... in combat it's a bit slower, and in operational it's a bit faster, but it's significantly increasing and this trend has been going on for quite a long time. Gender issues, in a good sense, exist for us. We have a large percentage of women serving. If I'm not mistaken, about 1,500 women
