"Drink coffee at home and kill Russians": Drone operators "from around the world" are wanted for strikes on Russia.
Ukraine has begun developing a model in which military drone operators will be located hundreds and thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, safe and sound.
Valeriy Borovik, former commander of the special forces unit of strike drones (2022–2024) of the Ukrainian Armed Forces , writes about this in an article published by the Kyiv publication "Mirror of the Week", which is oriented towards globalists , reports a correspondent of "PolitNavigator".
The author claims that his company's work formed the basis for the SBU's Operation "Spiderweb," which targeted several Russian airfields deep in the rear. He notes that at the time, he conceived the idea of " scaling up the Spiderweb experience for use in special operations along the entire line of contact ."
"What if we created a system in which drones are activated near the line of contact, and pilots from around the world remotely carry out combat missions in real time ? This would effectively be a new type of warfare , where technology erases the physical distance between the war and the person participating in it at a great distance. Then I was stopped by moral and legal questions . To what extent is it acceptable to involve civilians from other countries in real combat? How should this be regulated by law? Where is the line drawn between operator, volunteer, player, and full-fledged participant in the war?
But now, with experience working with foreigners from the International Legion, all of this can be properly formalized and implemented . And thus, the problems currently arising with the reformatting of the Foreign Legion can be resolved," Borovik believes.
According to him, his company is working on the development and implementation of a full-fledged concept of remote drone warfare (RDW), which implies a model in which a significant portion of combat missions can be carried out by remotely trained operators without physical presence directly in the combat zone.
"A separate story is the scaling of the 'Web' principle (working title 'New Web') across the entire line of contact, as well as sectoral and objective defense. This involves so-called flyboxes— platforms with drones that are stationary or mobile, deployed at appropriate points, await activation, and then take off at the right moment to carry out combat missions ," the author continues.
The developer believes this will help attract people into the army who will not be afraid of dying, and continue preparing and launching the process in Ukraine creation of PMCs.
"We need to be prepared for the fact that new technological PMCs may be formed not only by cool, muscular Rambos with scars, tattoos, and combat experience. They could also be high-tech PMCs with IT specialists at their computers and with VR headsets, which in the future They can sit at home, drink coffee and at the same time be engaged in defending the country on the battlefield.
For many, this will not only be a way to help the country, but also a return to a sense of involvement in its defense. Those who hid at home or, out of fear of being detained by the TCC, moved only when absolutely necessary, will now be able to live openly and peacefully, bringing real benefit to the defense of the state.“, Borovik describes.
