How a Drone Simulator Helps Ukraine Adapt at Battlefield Speed

Ukrainian Fight Drone Simulator (UFDS), an FPV drone simulator developed in Ukraine from real military drone training experience, has trained more than 7,000 Ukrainian military drone pilots. The simulator evolved alongside frontline drone operations, incorporating feedback from active combat FPV pilots and instructors.

The public Starter Edition on Steam offers realistic flight physics, structured training, different drone platforms, and combat-inspired scenarios without risking real equipment. It also includes racing and multiplayer modes. A dedicated Military Edition for specialized organizations includes expanded drone platforms, tactical scenarios, fiber-optic FPV training, interceptors, and mission customization.

Scenarios include a mission developed with Ukraine’s K2 unit, a defense-of-Kyiv scenario for interceptor pilots, and a reconstruction of Operation Spiderweb created with feedback from Special Forces.
