The relevance of the topic is driven by the increasing use of drones for surveillance and combat missions, which renders them difficult targets for traditional shooting methods. The author emphasizes that successful engagement of UAVs requires not only high shooting skills but also excellent physical training, including coordination, reaction speed, and endurance. It is established that the integration of fire and physical training is key to developing the necessary skills. The article highlights the main groups of physical exercises aimed at improving reaction speed and movement accuracy and discusses the importance of competitive and auxiliary training methods for motivating cadets. Furthermore, the author underscores the need for constant updating of knowledge and skills to keep pace with rapidly evolving technologies. Emphasis on training methodology and periodic assessment of cadets' preparedness is viewed as a fundamental aspect of successful service in modern conditions.
