The All-Russian State University of Cinematography (VGIK) is recruiting applicants for a special group in its operator's faculty. In exchange for signing a one-year contract with the Ministry of Defense to serve in the unmanned systems troops, VGIK promises budget places without exams, a free dormitory, combat veteran status, and benefits. The registration is from July to October 2026, with training expected to begin in 2027. This initiative is part of a broader campaign by Russian universities to recruit students into unmanned aerial vehicle troops.
