2022–2026

The force was formed at the beginning of the full-scale invasion — during the defence of Kyiv and in the Hulyaipole direction. Since then, people of all kinds have joined — entrepreneurs, engineers, teachers and experienced soldiers who observe, rescue and strike the enemy. We have operated across multiple frontline regions — Donetsk, Kherson, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and other directions.

Over four years (2022–2026), the force has evolved from a group of enthusiasts with civilian drones to a professional unmanned aviation service within the Ukrainian Volunteer Army.

  • North: the battle for Kyiv and the liberatio
  • East: grueling battles in the Soledar area and across Donbas.
  • South: operations in the Huliaipole direction, missions across Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.
  • Slobozhanshchyna: targeting and strikes in the Kharkiv direction.

FAQ
FAQ heading line 2

Do women serve in the unit?

There are no gender restrictions in the force and no division into female and male positions. Directions depend on skills and the needs of the force at the time of application. Write to us — we will tell you more.

How to join the force?

Write to us — tell us a little about yourself: experience, skills, what you can contribute. We will get in touch and discuss the next step.

Is prior combat experience required?

Combat experience is an advantage, but not a requirement. We value technical knowledge, engineering thinking and skills in working with unmanned systems. New operators go through training before combat missions.

How does the training process work?

Training is tailored individually — depending on prior experience. For some it is full training from scratch, for others — a general introduction to the unit's processes. With prior experience, training takes up to 2 months. Without experience — longer. An operator deploys on combat missions only after the commander confirms full readiness.
