According to the message of the USF in Telegram, units of the Defense Forces use thousands of drones every month, each of which needs fine-tuning, improvement or repair to fulfill the assigned combat tasks.

«In general, this is a constant search for the most optimal way to solve the problem. There is a lot of creativity here», — USF notes.
According to the head of the repair workshop of the Nachtigal unit, a typical day for an unmanned aerial vehicle mechanical engineer begins with a team meeting in the morning, where everyone discusses their plan, shares what they did or didn’t do, and gets advice from others. Then everyone works in their own direction, depending on their experience and skills.
«There are enough tasks: preparing drones, repairing equipment, making new ones. You definitely won’t have to be sad», — he says.

«That’s just the main thing that comes to mind. In fact, there are many fields, but the most significant thing to learn is the ability to learn and adapt to new tasks», — USF notes.
