Kyiv • UNN
Become part of a legend. An FPV pilot vacancy is open in the 1st Corps of the NSU Azov. Choose an 18-24 contract and destroy the enemy with modern weapons.

Modern technological warfare requires specialists capable of destroying the enemy remotely, which is why the FPV Pilot vacancy is one of the most in-demand in our unit.
A legendary unit and new challenges on the front line
Azov is an ideology of professionalism and a unit where the warrior stands above all else. The creation of the 1st "Azov" Corps of the NGU under the leadership of Denys Prokopenko has allowed us not just to increase scale, but to elevate combat command to a level where technology and the intelligence of commanders become the key factors for victory.
We hold the front where the ground shakes from explosions, turning every meter into an insurmountable fortress for the enemy. Our kamikaze drones are the "long arms" of justice, catching up with the occupiers in the deepest rears and burning their logistics. It is the FPV pilot who has become the key figure today, capable of stopping an assault or destroying enemy armored vehicles even on the approach to our positions. Thanks to the skill of the crews, the unit effectively changes the course of events on the front.
FPV Pilot Vacancies: duties and role in the military
The work of an unmanned systems operator is a combination of engineering knowledge and composure. An FPV Pilot doesn't just fly; they conduct detailed reconnaissance, calculate timings, and account for the operation of enemy electronic warfare (EW). This allows the 1st Azov Corps to maintain control over enemy logistics, which is especially important in areas of active combat operations.
The main duties of the specialist include:
- Conducting combat sorties to strike equipment and manpower;
- Professional configuration of onboard software (BetaFlight, INAV);
- Assembly and repair of drones in field conditions;
- Engineering support for stable communication and working with repeaters in zones of active radio suppression.
The "Azov" philosophy is simple: to win with intelligence. We use drones where we previously risked people, reliably neutralizing the occupier's forces remotely.
