Ukrainians Encouraged to Build FPV Drones at Home

In the wake of the full-scale war, the Ukrainian government has revised its policies for drone manufacturers, removing barriers and creating favorable conditions. This shift has catalyzed mass production. Mikhaylo Fedorov emphasizes that the production is gaining momentum, and individuals can contribute to Ukraine's success, even from within the country. He introduces the "People's Drone" project by Victory Drones, a technological aid foundation called Dignitas.
The initiative offers an engineering course guiding participants in assembling a 7-inch FPV drone at home. The course includes lectures, Zoom sessions with instructors, a list of components and must-have tools and materials to purchase, as well as access to an engineering community for advice and questions. After assembly, the FPV drone is sent to Victory Drones' instructors for quality checks and weight testing. Successfully tested drones are then handed over to the military.
Fedorov highlights that course participants have already contributed over 100 drones to the military. More than 80% of them arrived in good working condition for Victory Drones' instructors to assess, while the rest required some additional work. Fedorov commends this as a remarkable success rate for pilot assembly.
"FPV drones have become game-changers in this war. Join the project and be part of the victory," emphasizes Fedorov.
