The most in-demand military specialities

According to recruitment centres, the following positions are the most popular among all applications:

- UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) operators

- Drivers

- Shooting specialities

The increase in demand for qualified UAV operators is attributed to the booming use of drones in the Defence Forces. Drivers and shooters also remain in demand, as they provide both logistics and direct combat operations.

As is known, there are 48 recruitment centres in Ukraine, among which there is an online centre. Their main tasks are counselling and full support of potential candidates for military service.
