The Russian Defense Ministry is recruiting UAV operators, engineers, technicians, and other specialists for its Unmanned Systems Forces. Candidates can practice on an FPV drone simulator at recruitment centers nationwide.

The ministry emphasizes the need for advanced analytical skills, spatial recognition, fine motor skills, and computer proficiency. Priority is given to those with military experience, particularly in aviation, special forces, and reconnaissance, as well as drone pilots and IT specialists.

Successful candidates will undergo a selection process and receive specialized training after signing a minimum one-year contract. New servicemen will operate various drones and may qualify for performance bonuses, with guaranteed discharge upon contract expiration if they choose not to re-enlist.
