FPV drone operator
Multirotor UAV operator
Fixed-wing UAV operator
UAV reconnaissance operator
UAV operator-technician
UAV technician
Ground robotic complexes operator
FPV drone operator
Operates FPV drones during combat and reconnaissance missions, striking targets and conducting observation. Suitable for candidates with piloting skills or readiness to learn quickly.
Multirotor UAV operator
Carries out reconnaissance, fire adjustment and observation using multirotor UAVs. Attentiveness, coordination and readiness to work in the field are required.
Fixed-wing UAV operator
Operates fixed-wing UAVs for long-range reconnaissance and monitoring. A technical background and understanding of flight are an advantage.
UAV reconnaissance operator
Conducts aerial reconnaissance, collects, analyses and relays data about the enemy. Attentiveness, discipline and quick decision-making are required.
UAV operator-technician
Combines work with unmanned systems and their preparation/maintenance. Suitable for those with technical skills or a desire to learn to work with electronics.
UAV technician
Responsible for the maintenance, repair and configuration of unmanned systems. Electronics skills and the ability to diagnose faults are required.
Ground robotic complexes operator
Operates ground robotic complexes and provides their support and maintenance during missions. Technical proficiency and readiness to work in the combat zone are required.
Important: the exact position is determined after an interview with a recruiter, selection, the medical board (VLK), the unit's needs, and the candidate's fit for the requirements.
Training
Before joining a unit, every candidate undergoes training aligned with their chosen field. Having no prior military experience is not a barrier — most candidates arrive without any. What matters is motivation, discipline, the ability to learn, and readiness to work as part of a team.
After signing the contract, the candidate completes basic combined-arms training. At this stage the fundamentals are taught: weapons handling, tactical medicine, working within a unit, basic tactics and physical endurance. This is the foundation everyone receives, regardless of future specialty.
After basic training, the candidate trains in their chosen specialty. For infantry roles this means practicing combat tasks as part of a unit. For UAV, FPV and ground robotic complex roles, it is separate technical training: working with equipment, simulators, practical drills and preparation for real missions.
At every stage, the candidate is never left alone. Instructors guide them during training, and commanders take over once they arrive in the unit. In most cases mentorship is provided — more experienced service members help them adapt, explain processes and support them through the first weeks of service.
Adaptation within the unit happens gradually. A newcomer is never assigned complex tasks without preparation. At first they work alongside more experienced service members, settle into the rhythm of service, understand their role, and only then move on to performing tasks independently.
For the UAV and ground robotic complex track, enhanced training is provided after signing the contract. It lasts up to 3 months and includes intensive instruction, practice and drills in the skills required to operate unmanned and robotic systems.
Requirements
You can apply even without prior military experience. A recruiter will advise which position may suit you best

Why the 110th Brigade?
Our brigade is a well-coordinated force with extensive combat experience, a finely tuned machine dedicated to eliminating the enemy. We know how to fight, and we do it with passion. By becoming a part of our team, you’ll strengthen both yourself and us. Everything is possible — all it takes is that first step.
Which military specialty is right for me?
It’s entirely up to you. Almost every civilian profession has its counterpart in the military. If you’ve worked with documents, you’re welcome as a clerk. If you’ve driven tractors, our IFV drivers will be glad to have you. If you’ve worked in healthcare, you’ll be saving lives as a brigade medic. And even if you don’t have specialized skills, the brigade will teach you any skill you need. The most important thing is your desire to learn.
Will I have to go into combat without proper training?
Short answer: No. Longer answer: Absolutely not—this is a guarantee, with no exaggeration. After your basic training at the training center, you’ll join the brigade. And here, you’ll go through another round of internal preparation. Our instructors will focus on teaching you only the most practical skills—with minimal theory—designed to keep you safe and alive. What should you have with you? Where do you run (or should you run at all) when you hear outgoing fire? How many tourniquets should you carry? What music should you listen to before your first battle? (Okay, that last one’s a joke.)
Will I be transferred somewhere unexpectedly during basic training?
No. Nowadays, brigades can recruit directly, so if you decide to join our unit, you can be certain you’ll serve with us.
What will I get by joining the 110th Brigade?
The first thing you’ll receive is full support—financial, material, and food supplies. As for payment: your base salary, bonuses, and combat pay together can total up to 120,000 UAH per month. From the moment you put our insignia on your left sleeve, you won’t have to worry about your wardrobe—we’ll provide you with so much gear you’ll get tired of carrying it to your barracks. The same goes for food supplies, so we recommend not bringing anything too tight-fitting—there’s a good chance you’ll gain a few kilos!
What documents are required to join the 110th Brigade?
It’s simple: your passport, tax ID code, military ID (if you have one), a few signatures—and voilà, you’re one of us!
