As part of the current conscription campaign, the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan is taking an important step in the training of conscripted soldiers. A new training discipline — unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operator training — has now been added to the combat training program. This will allow conscripts to acquire modern military-applied skills and master a highly demanded specialty.

Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs – Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard, Major General Ansagan Baltabayev, visited the newly equipped UAV operator training classroom in the 5573 military unit in the capital and assessed its capabilities.

The modern training room is fully adapted for the instruction of conscripts: here they study the fundamentals of drone structure, flight control rules, technical maintenance, and elements of tactical deployment. The course is designed to train a full combat UAV crew, which includes a crew commander, FPV drone operator, munitions specialist, and reconnaissance operator.

The training process is structured so that each servicemember first masters the skills of their specific specialization, and afterward participates in group exercises that are as close to real operational conditions as possible.

“Today, the training of UAV operators is reaching a new qualitative level. A complete environment for practical instruction has been created here, and this is precisely the systematic approach we need,” emphasized Major General Ansagan Baltabayev.

Following the visit, the Commander-in-Chief outlined further tasks: strengthening the material and technical base, establishing an in-house repair workshop, developing a unified specialist training program, and designing an all-season training facility.

The training classroom has been recommended as a model for establishing similar centers in other military units where drone operator subdivisions are being formed.

The creation of such a training environment is a significant step toward enhancing the combat readiness of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan and advancing modern directions in the preparation of servicemembers.
