Recruits in Moscow can exchange military service for a contract with the UAV forces:
"This was stated by the military commissar of Moscow Maxim Loktev. An alternative to the usual "conscription" was created: citizens subject to conscription have the right to enlist in the unmanned systems forces according to a special annual contract in exchange for conscription - this is considered conscription.
The military commissioner noted that the candidates will occupy the positions of drone operators, engineers and technical experts. Recruits with experience in information technology, electronics, radio engineering and aircraft modeling will have an advantage in the selection process."
