Combat Roles20 000-120 000 UAHUAVs and UGVs
The long-range strike UAV operator guides an unmanned aircraft to a target far beyond the line of contact.

- tracking speed, altitude and battery charge and adjusting the route;
- confirming the target with daylight and thermal cameras on the final leg of the flight;
- switching to manual control or visual guidance for a precise strike.
Requirements
- readiness to carry out combat tasks in areas of active hostilities;
- understanding of how a drone is built and how its onboard systems work;
- map-reading and navigation by coordinates and landmarks;
- focus and stress resilience during long sorties;
- ability to handle large volumes of information;
- piloting or simulator experience is an advantage.
Conditions
- service under contract or through mobilization; transfer for those already in military service;
- monthly pay from UAH 20,000 to UAH 120,000;
- housing, meals and full material support;
