The significance of the physical fitness of operators of strike FPV drones in the Airborne Forces at different stages of military-professional activity in combat conditions

The purpose of the study – to analyze and study the military-professional activities of the operator of an attack FPV drone, using the example of servicemen of the Airborne Troops. Research methods and organization: methods of analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, conversations, and surveys were used, allowing for the examination of the military-professional activities of military personnel operating FPV drones in the Airborne Troops as a complexly organized system. The study involved military personnel operating strike FPV drones serving in first-category units based at a military unit of the Airborne Troops. Research results and conclusions. The main stages of the military-professional activities of strike drone operators during the special military operation have been identified. The importance of physical training in performing combat tasks by the strike drone unit has been noted. It has been established that under conditions of intense loads and high levels of stress, operators of FPV drones must possess endurance, coordination, and quick reaction, which directly affects the effectiveness of drone control. Furthermore, physical training contributes to maintaining psychological resilience, which is especially important in combat conditions.
