Drone. Payload. Route. Silence. “Liftoff.”
Meet the "Vampirists" — a combat drone crew from the 4th Guard Battalion of the 101st Brigade for the Protection of the General Staff.
Call signs: Pumba, Horoshok, and Svyryd. Each one knows his job, and only exhales when everything is connected, signed — and flying.
The “Vampire” drone has two delivery modes:
📦 “Ukrposhta” for our guys — water, food, and gear for the front line.
💣 “Packages for orcs” — loud, precise, and with no return address.
This job’s no walk in the park. Reaching positions gets harder every day: the sky is packed, enemy eyes are everywhere, and FPV drones hover even where things were quiet just yesterday.
Each flight is a risk. And the only reason to take it — is because someone at the front is waiting for that package.
And it must arrive.
These photos aren’t staged. No one's posing when sweat’s running down under the vest and the sapper’s grumbling he’ll “pack it all himself next time.”
Battery swap. Reload. One more flight.
No noise. No filters. No misses.

A significant event took place in the 4th Guard Battalion.

The commander of the 101st Separate Guard Brigade, Colonel Serhii Chernetskyi, honored the soldiers of the 4th Battalion. Among the awards were an order, the "Golden Cross," the medal "For Rescued Life," and the "For Conscientious Service" distinction.

This event is not a mere formality. Each award is a story. About determination, endurance, quick decisions in critical moments. About those who hold positions, save comrades, and daily take on more than just duties.

Such distinctions are needed to remind once again: your work is important. Your contribution is seen. And it is worth a life.

We serve confidently, honorably, and together – for the sake of those beside us.
Glory to Ukraine!

Courageous, strong, brave, loyal to their oath and the Ukrainian people.

They are soldiers of the machine gun platoon of the 4th Guard battalion. It is on the shoulders of these titans that our state rests. Today, they are performing combat missions, deterring the enemy who is trying to advance on the city of Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region.
