Ukrainian Battalion Trains with “Mriya” Drone for Reconnaissance and Strikes

In Dnipropetrovsk region, the 150th separate reconnaissance-strike battalion conducted another training for unmanned aerial vehicle crews in Donetsk region. In the program, they tested a drone designated ‘Dream,’ whose main value is the ability to strike enemy vehicles. Correspondents captured details of the repair and launch process of the UAV from within the crew.

Drone experiments and the capabilities of “Dream”

A service member with the callsign Molfar said that during the tests they are evaluating a device capable of carrying more than one kilogram of payload, including ammunition. The operating flight range exceeds 30 kilometers, with a maximum altitude of about two kilometers.

Molfar keeps an FPV winged-type drone named “Dream”.

This “wing” is typically used to practice planned targets: concealment, antennas, or even capable of hitting moving targets. It can chase vehicles and disrupt the enemy’s logistics.

According to the interviewee, drones today are used not only for collecting reconnaissance but also for strikes on defined targets. However, having a drone in a warrior’s hands significantly simplifies obtaining operational information: you can see what is happening next, where the logistics are located, and where strikes need to be delivered. This approach requires rapid training of a large number of people and constant updates of equipment – the experience must be quickly transmitted and disseminated.

Drone piloting training took place on training grounds.

Downed or damaged drones are repaired in the UAV repair workshop, where new drones for combat tasks are also assembled.

If we talk about the drone’s life cycle, first of all it comes here. It is prepared and sent to combat. If something happens to it during operation and there is an opportunity to recover it, it returns to the workshop. Hundreds of drones, up to thousands, can pass through in a day. The situation is quite tense now; the guys sometimes repair around the clock

In the UAV repair workshops they emphasize that such precise restorations require appropriate trained personnel resources, which are currently lacking. “This is not just a repair: seal with insulating tape – and it works. Sometimes there is a shortage of certain parts, which are bought outside the country. When we talk about the army, much of this work remains behind the scenes, but it is precisely this that keeps the system combat-ready – it’s a colossal effort,” the serviceman noted.

You weren’t sure that anything would work at all. Fortunately, there were many successful missions

According to one fighter, drone reconnaissance is part of a broader strategy that allows rapid response to changes on the battlefield and to support the wounded through prompt operational actions. Such efforts underscore the importance of training, adaptation, and ongoing technical upgrades in armed units, where every successful operation depends on understanding UAV capabilities and coordinated teamwork.
