Ukraine's UAV Operator Training Center Mocked God's Commandments & Saints
The UAV operator training center Kruk has published a parody of the Ten Commandments titled “The 10 Commandments of an FPV Operator.” In this version, each commandment is deliberately distorted to suit the needs of drone (FPV) operators.
For example, instead of the first commandment, “I am the Lord your God… you shall have no other gods before Me,” Kruk writes:
“I am your combat drone; you shall have no other drones before me.”
Another “commandment” reads:
“Do not make for yourself an idol from a sleek frame or a brand-name logo, for it is not aesthetics that destroys the enemy, but precision.”
The third commandment goes:
“Do not take the antenna in vain, but check it before every flight, so you do not embarrass yourself before your brothers.”
The rest of the “commandments” parody the remaining biblical commandments in a similar fashion, up to the tenth.
The training center also published an image of a “modernized” icon of one of the apostles, depicted with FPV drone goggles and a drone on his head.
According to the organization’s website, Kruk is a non-governmental UAV operator training center certified by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (Order No. 145 of the Head of the Main Directorate of State Aviation of Ukraine dated 26.12.2023). Kruk cooperates with the international foundation Renaissance and the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, and is a verified school of the “Army of Drones” project.
Previously, the UOJ (Union of Orthodox Journalists) reported that a church of the OCU in Krekhiv used prayers as toilet paper.
