Details: It is noted that in less than three years of the war, the "Achilles" unit has evolved from a rifle company of the Territorial Defense to a separate drone systems regiment. During this time, the fighters have destroyed 19,853 enemy targets beyond recovery. In "Achilles," they calculated that to accommodate all the destroyed enemy forces and equipment, six Red Squares would be required.
Direct Quote: "Due to the successful completion of combat tasks, the 'Achilles' battalion has been scaled up to a regiment. The 'Achilles' team has managed to eliminate around 20,000 legitimate military targets of the enemy over the two years during which we have been using drones. This result can be achieved within the regiment by 2025. We are opening vacancies for UAV pilots, navigators, technicians, engineer-sappers, and representatives of other professions, both combat and support."
Details: In connection with the restructuring, the unit is conducting recruitment. It is reported that individuals can join the unit either through mobilization or by signing a contract. Additionally, transfers from other military units are possible, and candidates with the status of SZO are accepted.
You can review the vacancies and submit an application to the 429th Separate Drone Systems Regiment "Achilles" on the website.
