https://www.facebook.com/426.obbs.marines

The 426th Separate UAV Battalion of the 30th Marine Corps is a specialist high-tech battalion manned by some of Ukraine’s most experienced drone operators.
We have several US, UK, Italian, Georgian and Colombian nationals already serving as drone operators with our battalion.


We operate some of Ukraine’s most advanced unmanned systems, from small FPV drones and remote-controlled land platforms to large fixed-wing recon and strike UAVs.


We are happy to consider applications from experienced UAV operators as well as novices who are able and willing to learn the craft and find themselves on the bleeding edge of military UAV technology.
