No idea what combat FPV drones are? Wondering why a $500 drone can destroy a multi-million-dollar vehicle? Confused by terms like EW, jamming, frequencies, firmware, or kamikaze drones?
Then this book is for you.
Written with humor, practical examples, and zero unnecessary military jargon, it will give you a solid understanding of how modern warfare actually works - in about an hour.
But this is more than an introduction.
This book is written as an experience-based operational briefing, not a theoretical manual. It reflects real combat knowledge of FPV drones, infantry operations, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare gained during the ongoing full-scale r@ssian invasion of Ukraine.
You'll learn how today's battlefield functions through constant drone surveillance, electronic warfare, rapid decision-making, and human judgment under extreme pressure. The book explains FPV drone functionality, firmware, radio frequencies, EW environments, counter-drone measures, and battlefield survivability in clear language that requires no technical background.
Whether you're a soldier, instructor, defense professional, analyst, or simply someone trying to understand the biggest revolution in warfare since the introduction of tanks, this book is designed to prepare you for the reality of modern combat-where traditional doctrine is often no longer enough.
Ukraine learned these lessons through adaptation, sacrifice, and survival. The purpose of this book is to transfer that experience before others are forced to learn it the same way.
And don't worry - this book contains no sensitive information that could compromise the Ukrainian Armed Forces. If you're expecting secrets, you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for understanding, you're in the right place.
This book is written especially for Ukraine's foreign allies with one clear message:
r@ssian terror does not end at borders.
What is happening in Ukraine is not an exception - it is a preview of how future wars will be fought.
Read it as training.
Read it as a warning.
Read it before it becomes relevant to you.
