Signed a Contract on His Birthday: The Story of Drone Operator “Sheva”

A pilot of the 24th Mechanized Brigade named after King Danylo, call sign “Sheva”, is originally from Kharkiv. He was a student when the full-scale war began and decided to join the military.

A feature about the soldier was released on January 26 by the “East” Operational Group.

“I ended up in the battalion’s control platoon. I was a night duty officer at the forward deployment point. After eight months, I wanted more, and I joined the unmanned systems unit. I worked there for over a month, then due to technical reasons the group switched to Mavic reconnaissance drones, and I have remained in this position for more than a year. I know I’m young, that I can do more, that I can give my strength and my mind to this interesting field”, — the soldier recalls.

“There is only one motivation — either them or us. We will keep holding on no matter what. We have no other options”.
