Authored by Colonel (Ret.) Viktor Kevliuk, former Head of Division at the Joint Operative HQ of the Armed Forces of Ukraine; Major (Ret.) Marvin Ybanez, former Pilot and Head of the Air Force Capability Building Department in the Philippine Air Force; and Mark Kuzmenko, Consultant for the Defence, Demining and Dual-Use Practice at DataDriven - this paper explores one of the most pressing questions in modern military aviation: should UAV operators be trained as pilots, technicians, or warfighters? Drawing on real-world experience and international comparisons, the authors consider how nations are redefining training, standards, and operational readiness for the unmanned era.
