In Krasnoyarsk Krai, ninth-graders who failed the OGE were offered training as drone operators

As discovered by The Insider, the authorities of Krasnoyarsk Krai have added UAV operator to the list of professions that schoolchildren who did not pass the OGE can study for free. Forty-seven places have been allocated for this program at three colleges in the region.

The course lasts six months: teenagers will be taught to operate drones weighing up to 30 kg. At the same time, drone operator courses are already operating in Krasnoyarsk, and their graduates sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense. According to the city administration, over the past two months seven people who completed the course have left to fight in Ukraine, while another seven are undergoing medical examinations and testing.

💜Earlier, Verstka reported that universities across Russia held recruitment meetings for the “UAV troops.” At these meetings, students are persuaded that the contract is for “one year” and that they will be safe.
