How to Become a Drone Operator for Free and with a Guarantee
27.02.2026
When our company developed the heavy strike complex Pegasus Arms 25, we faced an obvious question: who will pilot it? There is a critical shortage of qualified crews for heavy multirotors on the front lines.
Meanwhile, thousands of people search online daily on how to become a drone operator, hoping to join aerial reconnaissance after mobilization. Most of them make a fatal mistake—they wait, assuming the "army will teach them everything." However, the reality is different: if you arrive without a confirmed profession, you are assigned where there is the greatest shortage of personnel. Most often, this is regular infantry, not the control panel of a high-tech UAV.
If you are looking for a way to guarantee becoming a drone operator, there is only one solution: obtain a state certificate and a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) before the system decides for you.
A Certificate is Your Only Guarantee
Commanders of UAV units are constantly looking for motivated personnel. But military bureaucracy does not allow them to simply take a person "off the street" for an operator position. They need a document that holds legal weight for the Recruitment Center (TCC) or the unit's headquarters.
That is why we integrated our hardware into the training program of the High-Tech Educational Center “MIST” (HTEC MIST). This is a licensed institution whose graduates receive an official State-Recognized Certificate. This document is an ironclad basis for assigning you an MOS and obtaining a "Letter of Request" (Vidnoshennya) from your desired unit.
We Made the Training Free
The main barrier to entering the profession is the cost of commercial courses. We are breaking down this wall. Our goal is to ensure that Pegasus Arms 25 complexes end up in the hands of professionals.
Therefore, training on our strike drone at HTEC MIST is absolutely free.
You do not pay for the 96 hours of intensive training. You do not pay for the 10 hours of critically important night flights using thermal imaging. All you need is motivation and the readiness to defend the country using our technology.
An Opportunity for Active-Duty Military Too
The question of how to become a drone operator comes to us not only from civilians. Thousands of soldiers are currently in positions where their technical potential is unfulfilled.
Our free program is open to active-duty military personnel. You can train to become a drone operator during your leave or via a commander's referral. By obtaining the HTEC MIST certificate, you will have a legal basis to submit a transfer report to a UAV unit for the position of a Pegasus Arms operator.
Your Action Plan for Today
Do not leave your safety and effectiveness to chance:
- Register for the free course at HTEC MIST.
- Master the Pegasus Arms 25 strike drone (including night missions and EW countermeasures).
- Obtain your state-recognized certificate.
- Secure a guaranteed position in the Armed Forces (through the Recruitment Center or via transfer).
The window of opportunity is open. Choose the technological edge with Pegasus Arms.

The Path to the Elite: How to Become a Pegasus Arms 25 Strike Drone Operator from Scratch
As a manufacturer of heavy unmanned aerial systems, the Pegasus Arms team frequently receives messages like: "I am a civilian planning to mobilize. How can I become a pilot for your bombers?"
The desire is completely understandable. Operating a powerful strike multirotor is a prestigious profession that allows you to inflict maximum damage on the enemy while remaining at a relative distance from the front lines. However, if you simply show up at a Recruitment Center (TCC) wanting to "fly," you will most likely be assigned wherever there is a critical shortage of personnel (such as regular infantry).
To become a UAV operator, you need a strategy. Here is a step-by-step guide from the manufacturer on how a civilian can guarantee their place at the controls of our complex
Heavy Bomber Drones: Evolution of the Ukrainian Strike Fleet
The drone war in Ukraine is undergoing rapid evolution. While 2024 was the year of mass proliferation of FPV kamikaze drones, 2026 is becoming the year of heavy reusable bombers and systematic night operations.
The market is saturated with "disposable" solutions, but experience shows that destroying fortifications and heavy armor requires a different class of "birds." The Pegasus Arms team (a subsidiary of MartynTech) analyzes why the future belongs to heavy multi-rotor systems.
