External Pilot/UAV Operator

Overview

The "BULAVA" ("Mace") UAV Battalion is a combat unit of the legendary 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade named after the Black Zaporozhians, which has been growing and scaling up for the third year now. The unit operates in a way that always achieves its goals while preserving what matters most — human life. In 2023-2024, its soldiers struck the enemy near Vuhledar and then in the Kherson region. The unit is currently holding the line in the Pokrovsk sector. Here, they get the job done, and they do it well. Both the brigade and the unit are priority units, so enlistment goes straight into the battalion!
