drone operators

Ukraine's drone operators face significant risks similar to frontline soldiers, being targeted by Russian forces. They often engage in direct combat and experience psychological trauma, contradicting perceptions of their role as safer. Drones are critical to Ukraine's strategy, causing a majority of Russian front-line losses.

A cyber espionage group is targeting aviation firms to steal map data, including GIS files, terrain models, and GPS data. The campaign compromises aerospace and drone operators to gain a clear picture of adversaries' world view. This theft of sensitive information can be used for malicious purposes.
