FPV drone workshop: How Ukrainian soldiers assemble drones near the front line [VIDEO]

In a front line town, soldiers of the 24th brigade have set up a workshop where they manually assemble strike drones.

Drone production on the front line

– The guys hit impressively with these drones. The prices of what they have alreadyhit are really impressive, sometimes even exceeding several million dollars. The cost of the FPV drone is $500, the cargo for it is provided by the army – the young officer said.

The soldiers of this brigade hold the front line in the area of the city of Chasiv Yar. Intense battles are currently raging in the city itself. The Russians are trying to capture a neighborhood that is already beyond the Siversky Donets-Donbas canal. One of the ways for the Ukrainian army to stop the Russian advance is the production of drones. These drones can fly 5-7 kilometers deep into the front line and destroy Russian personnel and equipment.

The group of pilots and the workshop where drones are produced is commanded by a young officer with the codename  “Jaga.”

In 2021, his father was killed in the war, so at the beginning of the full-scale war, the young man voluntarily went to the front.

“In 2022, I was a student at the Lviv University of Technology. I’m a lawyer. Then I went to the Regional Recruitment Center, but they kicked me out. They said that as a student they didn’t need me. (…) They didn’t want to accept me. Then I found a territorial defense brigade that was just being formed and they accepted everyone there. That’s how I went to war.”
