The online listing states that candidates are needed for a volunteer unit named the Combat Army Reserve Force, responsible for ”ensuring the capital’s safety through advanced technical solutions and surveillance systems.”
”You will operate high-tech equipment aimed at protecting the urban landscape,” the ad claims.
Responsibilities include pre-flight setup and operation of drones, conducting reconnaissance missions, and ”performing flights to gather data, both day and night.”
Applicants need only ”basic technical skills” and a willingness to advance in this field. However, the salary—beginning at 150,000 roubles ($1,950) per month—falls short of Moscow’s average, which exceeds 200,000 roubles.
A review from an individual identified as ”Lead Inspector” noted: ”An outstanding, close-knit team; ample growth opportunities, a positive workplace culture, the ability to select tasks aligned with personal interests, and support from management. Compensation is performance-based, which allows for income increase.”
While Reuters could not determine the original posting date of the vacancy, it was refreshed on July 1.
In June, Ukraine escalated drone assaults on Moscow, including two attacks within three days on a large oil refinery located just within the city’s perimeter.
The Kremlin has announced that steps are being taken to enhance Russia’s defenses against such threats. This week, Russia executed its deadliest strike of the year on Kyiv, resulting in at least 30 fatalities.
