In the Kursk region, the Russian military has begun using civilians to create drone operators' units. They are being urgently trained and formed into groups of attack drones to stop the movement of equipment, according to the ATESH guerrilla movement.

According to the ATESH agent, all those with experience in flying drones or training to become operators were urgently gathered and brought to hangars near the Khalino airfield, where the Boomerang FPV drone training center is located.

"The military form teams of two people: an operator and his assistant. The training time is up to 10 hours (since the process of flashing and soldering drones is skipped). After that, they form groups of attack UAVs to somehow stop the movement of equipment," ATESH said.
