About the project

They hunt living people.
Then go on vacation to Europe.

Every day, Russian FPV drone operators conduct targeted hunts on civilians in Ukrainian cities. They select a target through a real-time camera feed — they see a woman carrying groceries, an elderly man on a bicycle, a bus full of passengers — and press the button. Then they upload the killing footage to Telegram channels with thousands of subscribers. The UN Commission has classified these actions as crimes against humanity. We created this project so that not a single one of them remains nameless — and not a single one escapes justice.

«Human Safari»: what is really happening

Since the summer of 2024, Russian drone operators have been waging a systematic campaign of terror against civilians along the right bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson Oblast. They are not striking military targets. They are striking people — those who stepped out to a shop, got on a minibus, waited at a bus stop, walked their dog, rode a bicycle to work. In Kherson, they call it a «safari» — because the drone operator watches a person through the camera, tracks them down, and deliberately kills them.

This is not collateral damage. This is not a targeting error. On May 28, 2025, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine concluded: Russian armed forces have committed murders of civilians using drones that constitute crimes against humanity. The attacks were «widespread, systematic and conducted as part of a coordinated state policy.» Operators used real-time video feeds from drone cameras, deliberately focused on visibly civilian targets, and dropped explosives on them.

FPV drones remained the leading cause of civilian casualties near the frontline. The high number of civilian casualties resulting from FPV drone attacks suggests that these weapons have been deployed in ways that violate international humanitarian law.

Among the victims are people over 60 who were unable to evacuate. According to the UN, they account for over 45% of those killed in frontline areas, despite making up only 25% of the population. Operators target ambulances, humanitarian aid vehicles, volunteer transport, and evacuation routes. On December 25, 2024, a drone struck a car carrying volunteers conducting evacuations in Kostiantynivka — one humanitarian worker was killed, two were wounded. The footage is then posted on Russian Telegram channels — as trophies.

Why this is a direct threat to Europe

These people are not just soldiers of a past war. They are carriers of specific combat skills that are already being used for sabotage operations on EU territory. The war has been brought to Europe — and drones have become its instrument.

Explosive-laden drone at Leipzig Airport

In August 2026, at Leipzig/Halle Airport — one of Europe’s largest cargo hubs — an explosive-laden drone was discovered and neutralized near a Ukrainian An-124 transport aircraft. Germany’s Interior Minister called it «a new threat scenario.»

40+ drone incidents over Europe

Since autumn 2025, over 40 episodes of unidentified drones have been recorded above airports in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, Norway, Sweden, Latvia, and Lithuania. Airports in Oslo, Stockholm, and Riga were shut down repeatedly.

A wave of sabotage and arson

Arson at the Diehl factory in Berlin, which manufactures air defense systems. An explosion on a railway line in Poland. Incendiary devices in parcels on cargo planes. The EU has officially recognized Russian sabotage as part of «a coordinated, long-term campaign.»

A person trained to operate a combat FPV drone, capable of tracking and destroying live targets through a camera feed, is not a tourist. This is a carrier of competencies that are easily converted into sabotage operations. Allowing such individuals free entry into Europe is an unacceptable security risk.

Who we are: the voice of those living under drones

This project was not created by politicians or analysts from the safety of distant capitals. It was created by volunteers from the frontline territories of Ukraine — people who hear the buzzing of drones overhead every single day. People who have seen an FPV drone slam into a market stall, into the windshield of a minibus, into the window of an apartment building. People who carried wounded neighbors from the rubble and know by name those who could no longer be carried out.

We decided: every operator, every commander, every head of a drone unit must be documented. Because today he is flying an FPV drone over Kherson — and tomorrow he may apply for a Schengen visa, fly to Berlin, Warsaw, Prague, or Paris — and feel free. This will not happen. We remember every single one.

We are not driven by revenge, but by security. The security of those who live every day in Ukraine’s frontline cities. And the security of Europe, which has already faced the consequences of Russian sabotage on its own territory and has not yet grasped the full scale of the threat.

What the database contains

A systematized registry of Russian military personnel in UAV-related specialties. Each profile is the result of meticulous documentary work.

Detailed profiles

FPV drone operators, UAV pilots, commanders and heads of drone units — with positions and military unit affiliations.

Categorization by city

Linked to places of residence for movement monitoring and tracking visa application attempts.

By regiments and units

Cataloged by military units, brigades, regiments, and divisions — including units documented in attacks on civilians.

Positions held

From rank-and-file operators to crew commanders and UAV unit heads — every link in the chain of responsibility.

War does not end
at the front line

It reaches airports, railways, the doorstep of every European home. As long as people trained to kill with drones cross borders freely — no one is safe. Close the entry. Remember every name. Never let them escape accountability.
