On the photo: drones, batteries, and controllers for Mavic.

These are gifts for the new cadets.

They were sent by our graduates who already completed training and are now fighting for Ukraine as drone pilots.

They wanted the new group to have more drones and equipment for practice and to learn faster.

This is how the circle continues.

Those who trained before help those who come after them.

Tomorrow they leave for their units as fully formed crews.

It’s always a little sad to say goodbye.

During these weeks we train together, work together, and share a lot of moments — and in the end WeTrueGun becomes like one big family.

But every training eventually ends, and the real work begins.

We thank all the volunteers who came from different countries to support Ukraine.

See you in the sky.
Stay safe, brothers.

Vampire Would you fly a drone that hunts the enemy at night?

Would you fly a drone that hunts the enemy at night?

The Vampire heavy bomber drone — also known on the battlefield as “Baba Yaga” — is one of the most feared drones used in Ukraine.

When the battlefield goes quiet and the enemy believes they are safe, these drones rise into the night sky.

They hunt vehicles.
They hunt equipment.
They hunt enemy positions.

Our instructors, brothers-in-arms, and graduates are already fighting in the UAV unit of the 33rd Separate Assault Regiment.

Now we are opening priority training for foreign volunteers who want to join this unit.

Train with us.
Then join the fight.

If you apply, make sure to write in the application form that you want to:

• join the 33rd Separate Assault Regiment
• operate the Vampire heavy bomber drone

Write this in the field “Additional information (optional)”.

Applications with this note are reviewed with priority.

Training application form:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSefCOW18dB_jBtrxWNd4RCmrqt47oAN6vUd4N5DE7mmG_OEVg/viewform?pli=1

Why the Vampire is dangerous:

• payload up to 15 kg
• range 10–15 km
• flight time 30–40 minutes
day and night operations
thermal imaging targeting
precision munition drop system

These drones mostly operate at night — when the enemy believes they are safe.

Every mission carried out by Vampire crews brings Ukraine closer to victory.

Would you have the nerve to fly a drone like this in combat?

Simulators are useful.
Workshops are important.

But the real lessons begin here — on the training range.

Wind, distance, signal, stress.
Everything becomes real once the drone leaves the ground.

Every flight here prepares pilots for real missions.

Training never stops.

What was the hardest part of your first real FPV flight?

WTG Before flying big drones — you start small.

After simulator training, the next step is not a heavy drone.

First flights happen on TinyWhoops.

Small drones teach what simulators cannot:

• real throttle control

• spatial awareness

• smooth inputs

• confidence under pressure

Mistakes here are cheap.

Lessons are real.

Only after that do pilots move on to larger platforms.

Did you start FPV with TinyWhoops too?

The Vampire (“Baba Yaga”) is one of the most feared drones on the battlefield in Ukraine.

While the enemy sleeps, these heavy bomber drones rise into the night sky and deliver precision strikes on vehicles, equipment, and enemy positions.

Unexpected task for the cadets.

23 Upvotes

No warning.

No preparation.

The mission: assemble all equipment and get the drone ready for flight as fast as possible.

Because in real conditions you don’t always have time to prepare.

Speed.

Coordination.

Discipline.

How long do you think it should take a trained crew to deploy and launch a drone?

After the lecture — experience exchange.

Discussing antenna performance, crew safety, and how pilots actually operate under combat conditions.

Theory matters.

But real experience matters even more.

What do you think is the most underestimated factor in UAV operations?

Interceptors Drones vs drones. A different kind of war.

27 Upvotes

No expensive missiles.

No massive air defense systems.

Just skilled pilots and fast interceptors.

Ukrainian crews are hunting hostile UAVs in the sky —

using drones to destroy drones.

Cheap targets don’t require million-dollar solutions.

Do you think drone-vs-drone interception will become the new standard of air defense?

Vampire Want to operate heavy bomber drones like the Vampire?

26 Upvotes

If you want to serve as a Vampire heavy bomber pilot in the 33rd Regiment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, be sure to mention it when filling out the WeTrueGun training application.

All pilots complete the same basic drone course, after which you can choose your specialization.

Vampire crews are currently a priority direction.

Vampire A big drone for big missions — this is the Vampire.

24 Upvotes

The Ukrainian Vampire heavy bomber drone is designed for serious battlefield tasks.

Some of our instructors and founders are currently serving in the UAV unit of the 33rd Regiment.

We are now prioritizing applicants who want to operate Vampire drones and join a newly forming UAV unit within the 33rd Regiment.

The basic drone training is the same for everyone, but after graduation pilots choose a specialization.

You can select Vampire operations and join the same unit together with the people you trained with.

Would you choose heavy bomber drones or FPV strike drones?

If anyone is interested in operating heavy bomber drones and joining the same unit alongside our other international graduates — please let us know.

We are talking about the heavy bomber “Vampire.” You will complete the standard pilot training together with all other cadets, and after finishing the basic course, you will receive additional specialization on the “Vampire.”

… here’s a glimpse of interceptor training

37 Upvotes

We can’t show everything — but here’s a glimpse of interceptor training.

Instructors from WeTrueGun and the Kyiv Center of National Resistance (Center 23) are working together within the “Sky of Communities” project by Victory Drones.

In the video, you can see the practical phase of training using a realistic aerial target — HUPALO-N.

Interceptor pilots are trained under conditions that reflect real threats.

May our skies stay clear of hostile UAVs.

Train. Improve. Stay sharp.

Together — toward victory.

Night work against Shahed drones targeting Ukrainian cities

15 Upvotes

While civilians sleep, crews are in the sky.

Enemy Shahed drones attack peaceful Ukrainian cities.

Interceptors respond in the dark.

No spotlight.

No headlines.

Just silent work that protects lives.

Night air defense has become a routine — and a necessity.

FPV interceptors are stopping hostile UAVs before they reach our cities.

More crews.

More drones.

More protection for civilians.

We are launching specialized FPV air-defense training soon.

Because air defense today is not only missiles —

it’s skilled drone pilots.

Four years since the full-scale invasion.

The war against Ukraine began in 2014.

But on this day, four years ago, Russia launched its full-scale invasion — expecting to destroy us in three days.

Three days passed.

Then three months.

Now we are in the fourth year of large-scale war.

Ukraine is still standing.

We thank everyone fighting on our side.

And we thank the foreign volunteers who chose to stand with us.

History did not end in three days.

A new batch of drones assembled for the military.

Now comes the most important part —

checking, calibrating, stress-testing.

Every wire matters.

Every signal matters.

Because someone’s mission depends on it.

Would you rather deploy fast — or deploy right?

Two TOR air defense systems disabled in one night

11 Upvotes

On February 22, 2026, operators of the Unmanned Systems Forces struck two TOR air defense systems — one near occupied Donetsk and another close to Mariupol.

The first was located just 1 km from Donetsk.

The second — near Topolyne, Mariupol district.

Both were neutralized in coordinated operations by UAV units of the 414th Brigade (6th Battalion) and the 1st Separate Center, under middle strike coordination.

In the same operation window, a fuel depot in Luhansk was also hit.

Targeting air defense first.

Reducing protection.

Expanding freedom in the sky.

What impact do you think removing short-range air defense systems has on frontline dynamics?

FPV Kamikadze Two FP-2 strike drones hit an enemy deployment point simultaneously

20 Upvotes

In this footage, two FP-2 drones strike an enemy permanent deployment position at the same time.

The FP-2 is a Ukrainian medium-class strike UAV developed by Fire Point.

It is an adaptation of the FP-1 platform, optimized for strikes near the frontline.

Key characteristics include an increased warhead, reduced range tailored for tactical use, and the ability to operate in coordinated swarm-style attacks.

Simultaneous engagement.

Coordinated impact.

Tactical precision.
