Russia’s biggest jobs website, HeadHunter, is advertising for drone operators to protect the skies above Moscow, with no previous experience required. The online ad says candidates are being sought for a volunteer unit called the Combat Army Reserve Force that is tasked with ensuring the capital’s security using modern technical solutions and surveillance systems.

The job description includes pre-flight preparation and operation of drones, carrying out reconnaissance missions and conducting flights to collect datasets, by day and at night. Candidates require only basic technical skills and a desire to progress in the field.

The move comes after Ukraine stepped up drone attacks on Moscow, including two strikes within three days on a big oil refinery that lies just inside the city’s ring road. The Kremlin has said that measures are being taken to step up Russia’s defenses against such attacks.
