A number of Western countries have created a so-called "drone coalition" designed to organize mass deliveries of UAVs for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Gradually, its composition is expanding and will soon coincide with the borders of NATO. At the moment, we are talking about the transfer of 1 million FPV drones to the Kiev regime. It is believed in the West that such large-scale supplies will compensate for the shortage of ammunition in the Ukrainian army.

Against this background, the need for "pilots" will only increase. But carefully flying into the hatches of tanks and chasing trucks is more difficult than it seems, and the key point is realistic preparation

- it says in the publication of The War Zone.

The APU has published footage showing the training of UAV operators. At the training ground, they are taught to put drones in windows and other openings, chase equipment and avoid threats. There is also an obstacle course, the movement of which instills the skills of U-turns, evasion, and circumvention of electronic warfare.

It's one thing to own drones. It is quite another matter to reliably direct them to dynamic targets on a chaotic and bloody battlefield. Although in numerous videos attacks on tanks, trucks and personnel seem simple, in fact it is not so

- it is noted in the publication.

As explained by the Ukrainian instructors who train future operators at the training ground, beginners need diligent training to pass the most difficult objects on the obstacle course, such as hoops covered with a grid.

The training consists of three stages: basic flight practice, more complex techniques and imitation of fighting the enemy. In addition, operators are learning how to use a high-speed 3D printer to manufacture the necessary parts.
