The forum featured the final stage of the Furia_Mission_2025 competition, which identified the best crews operating the Furia <a href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/tags\/reconnaissance-drones\/\">reconnaissance UAV<\/a>. Defender Media was the forum\u2019s media partner and shares the key highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Furia_Mission_2025 competition launched in September 2025 and took place across several stages, including the collection of operational cases from crews and two roundtable discussions involving leading specialists and media. The Combat Experience Forum marked the final stage of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the organisers, the event became the first platform in Ukraine for an open dialogue between the manufacturer and Furia UAS pilots, aimed at systematically collecting crew experience, generalising it, and transforming it into concrete changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forum programme consisted of two parts: workshops for students and military personnel, and the competition final, featuring a professional panel discussion and the awards ceremony for the winning reconnaissance UAV crews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0424\u043e\u0440\u0443\u043c \u0431\u043e\u0439\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0434\u043e\u0441\u0432\u0456\u0434\u0443: \u201cFuria_Mission_2025\u201d - \u0437\u0430\u0434\u043b\u044f \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0432\u0438\u0449\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0435\u0444\u0435\u043a\u0442\u0438\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0456 \u0432\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0430\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y6syvw6wclw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on multifactor evaluation, the top crews received technical reinforcements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1st place: crew of the State Border Guard Service UAV unit \u201cPhoenix\u201d \u2014 a new pickup truck;<br>2nd place: crew of the 44th Separate Artillery Brigade \u2014 a vehicle-mounted EW system and a generator;<br>3rd place: crew of the 47th Separate Artillery Brigade \u2014 a vehicle-mounted EW system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the jury recognised several crews for their diligence and systematic approach, awarding them high-speed satellite communications systems. Every competition participant also received two sets of upgraded batteries for the Furia UAV, branded hoodies, and calendars from the media project \u201cFuria Pilots \u2013 2026\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lead pilot of the winning crew, callsign \u201cAdvokat\u201d, noted that the greatest value of Furia_Mission_2025 lies in mutual experience sharing. \u201cRight now, this is a critical issue across all areas \u2014 the lack of experience exchange that everyone can use,\u201d he said. He also highlighted that Athlon Avia listens closely to users to help them operate the UAS more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/kudhwgr7yo9yc9lrqvtk-1024x682.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/kudhwgr7yo9yc9lrqvtk-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/kudhwgr7yo9yc9lrqvtk-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/kudhwgr7yo9yc9lrqvtk-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/kudhwgr7yo9yc9lrqvtk.webp 1159w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Competition winners.

The discussions featured Athlon Avia founder and CEO Artem Viunnyk, Deputy Director for Development and Operations at Athlon Avia Serhii Mokreniuk, KAI President Kseniia Semenova, and Executive Director of the Ukrainian Council of Defence Industry Ihor Fedirko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Athlon Avia CEO Artem Viunnyk, even the most advanced hardware accounts for only 30% of effectiveness. \u201cThe real 70% of success in any operation depends on the operator \u2014 the person who knows how to extract the maximum from what they have in their hands,\u201d he said. \u201cFuria\u2019s effectiveness is not just wings and a camera; it is, above all, the aggregated experience of hundreds of operators, which through this competition becomes shared knowledge and a weapon of victory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/jjfyzldgkomobmdhcybv-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/jjfyzldgkomobmdhcybv-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/jjfyzldgkomobmdhcybv-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/jjfyzldgkomobmdhcybv-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/jjfyzldgkomobmdhcybv.webp 1229w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Panel discussion participants.

This will make it possible to prepare new crews according to the standards of those who have already proven effective in combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe effectiveness of the armed forces is based on the ability to quickly transform combat reports into systematic knowledge and training programmes, with the human operator remaining the central focus,\u201d Athlon Avia noted. \u201cThis makes it possible to use the full capabilities of the system at 100%.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next steps outlined by the organisers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All collected conclusions and recommendations will be submitted to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for implementation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crew materials are planned to be used as the basis for training programmes, methodological guidelines, and manuals at military training centres and higher military educational institutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crew proposals are being taken into account in future technical upgrades of the Furia UAS by the manufacturer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Further development of a professional community that directly influences the evolution of Ukrainian weapons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Competition results, quotes from winners and panel participants, and conclusions from the forum organisers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":21298,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","_featured_category_order":0,"_article_badge":"featured","footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[684,1783,579,1667,1558],"class_list":["post-21311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","tag-athlon-avia","tag-competition","tag-education","tag-events","tag-reconnaissance-drones","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Combat Experience Forum Furia_Mission_2025: key takeaways<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Competition results, quotes from winners and panel participants, and conclusions from the forum organisers.
