The position, advertised on the Russian job platform HeadHunter, is aimed at filling the volunteer unit BARS (Military Reserve Force), which uses modern surveillance systems and drone technology to secure the capital. Future operators would be responsible for preparing drones, operating them, and conducting reconnaissance tasks under both day and night conditions. The role requires basic technical knowledge and willingness to undergo additional training, with a starting monthly salary of 150,000 rubles (approximately €1,790), slightly below the average wage in Moscow.
