Aerorozvidka

Aerorozvidka is a team and NGO that promotes creating and implementing netcentric and robotic military capabilities for the security and defense forces of Ukraine. Aerorozvidka specialises in aerial reconnaissance and drone warfare. It was founded in May 2014 by a team headed by Volodymyr Kochetov-Sukach and including Ukrainian battalion commander Natan Chazin. Kochetkov-Sukach, an investment banker, was killed in 2015 while fighting in the Russo-Ukrainian War. From its beginnings as a group of volunteer drone and IT enthusiasts, Aerorozvidka eventually evolved into a unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It has been termed a "war startup" by the Atlantic Council.
