Description
Ukrainian troops are training to be the tip of the spear in the country's drive to modernise its tactical response on the frontlines of its war with Russia, in a massive expanse of its drone fleet.
One of Europe's poorest countries even before Moscow's invasion on February 24, Ukraine does not have an official drone unit and is relying on the patriotism and hard cash of its civilians for equipment and training. The troops are being taught by Global Drones Academy, a private company run by Anton Veklenko, who has been operating all manner of unmanned flying machines since 2015. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
