Drone operators are the backbone of the enemy's combat formations. Our task is to fight for dominance in the small skies, and in the modern drone war we must gain an advantage," Butusov said.
He added that since he speaks Spanish, he was instructed to create a unit of Latin American fighters in the platoon, among those Latin Americans in the Charter who signed a second contract in the infantry, went through a significant number of combat operations, performed well in battles, and either flew drones before, or trained themselves, or has the ability to do so.
The soldier also said that a company is deploying at the same time as his platoon, so there are plenty of vacancies. And most importantly, Butusov said, there is a team of adequate people who work for the result.
He called on everyone to join his unit.

There are instructors, training opportunities, we will facilitate transfers as much as possible, we invite young people aged 18-24 under the Millionaires programme... The brigade and the corps cover a significant part of the needs, of course, not all of them, we will also raise funds for some types of equipment and weapons. The work is provided by a repair shop. Please write to me in private, we will work together," the statement reads.
