Since 2014, the company has been producing the «Furia» UAS, which perform reconnaissance and artillery fire correction tasks on the front fire. During this time, Athlon Avia has become one of the key manufactures in the field of unmanned systems in Ukraine. The company is a reliable partner of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU, GUR, SSU, NPU, NGU, SBGSU). The manufacturer provides the full life cycle of its products: from pilot training to round-the-clock technical support and repair.

  • On its anniversary, Athlon Avia announces the launch of its own recruiting campaign from the manufacturer of the «Furia» UAV. The goal of the campaign is to increase the effectiveness of combat mission execution and to raise the number of motivated operators with the military specialty «External Pilot (UAV operator)» (MOS 216). “The company guarantees that it will provide recruiters with full support and a pilot position in the unit chosen by the candidate,” said CEO Artem Vyunnyk.

This will allow for the effective and rapid integration of new operators into the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

  • “ «The «Chornyi Lis» Brigade is developing and growing to inflict even greater damage on the enemy. We are always in need of pilots. Therefore, we are happy to support the initiative to train future UAV pilots directly from the manufacturer. Who knows the technology better than its manufacturer? We will gladly welcome operators who have been trained at the «Furia» UAV polit school into our military family,” – commented Colonel Oleksandr Popov, commander of the 15th Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade «Chornyi Lis».
