Moscow conscripts received the right to serve in the BPS troops
Instead of military service, Moscow conscripts can sign an annual contract to serve in the unmanned systems forces, and this period will be counted as conscription service. Maxim Loktev, the military commissar of Moscow, announced this on November 15.
"An alternative to the usual "conscription" has appeared: citizens who are subject to conscription have the right to enlist in the troops of unmanned systems under a special annual contract in exchange for military service — it counts for conscription," he said in an interview with TASS.
According to Loktev, candidates are selected for the positions of drone operators, engineers and technical specialists. The advantage in the selection process is given to recruits with experience in the field of information technology, electronics, radio engineering and aircraft modeling.
During the autumn draft, about 120,000 conscripts are planned to be sent to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The dispatch of new recruits to the troops started on October 10. At the same time, there are certain exceptions: in a number of regions of the Far North and areas equated to them, shipments began to be carried out later — in the period from November 1 to December 31.
