The League aims to build a sustainable platform for developing military tech (miltech) competencies among students and to strengthen the connection between education and modern defense technologies. It also seeks to foster a nationwide community of educators and trainers able to prepare specialists in high-tech and engineering fields.
The FPV Student League promotes achievements in Ukrainian engineering and helps prepare youth for the miltech-driven economy. The Ministry supports initiatives that build practical skills vital for national defense and recovery. We see strong potential to scale the League and make it a recurring event
During the event, students piloted 7-inch waterproof FPV drones through custom-built obstacle courses that tested both technical precision and quick decision-making. The judging panel included experts and FPV instructors with real battlefield experience.
Winners included a team from Khmelnytskyi Polytechnic College and students from leading technical and classical universities. Future stages of the League will expand geographic reach and involve more institutions.
