Aerorozvidka (Ukrainian: Аеророзвідка, "aerial reconnaissance") is a team and NGO that promotes creating and implementing netcentric and robotic military capabilities for the security and defense forces of Ukraine.

From its beginnings as a group of volunteer drone and IT enthusiasts, Aerorozvidka eventually evolved into a unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

[2] When the occupation of Crimea by Russia started in 2014, Natan Khazin, the leader of the "Jewish Regiment"[5] of the Euromaidan and a soldier of the first "Azov" formation, began to look for opportunities for the technical armament of the Ukrainian army.

[7] In December 2015, members of Aerorozvidka joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the form of military unit A2724 called the Center for the Implementation and Support of Automated Operational (Combat) Control Systems.

However, in 2020, on the initiative of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine liquidated this military unit.

The devices worked on the front lines in five detachments and showed good results: they transmitted data, photos with geotags at a distance of up to 2 km.

[32] Copters are capable of vertical take-off and landing,[33] have range of 5 km (3 miles), can stay in the air for about 40 minutes and carry 5 kg (11 lbs) of payload.

By increasing production, they hoped to outmatch opposing drone forces and to save the lives of Ukrainian civilians and military personnel.

Many other groups have followed in Aerorozvidka's footsteps in applying their civilian skills and expertise to help overcome the challenges faced by Ukraine's armed forces.

[51] Honchar, an IT marketing consultant who had previously served in the armed forces, had returned to active duty following the first Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014.

The high level of coordination between combat brigades and drone units enabled the Ukrainian military to react quickly to evolving threats, which activists say would have been impossible without Starlink.

[54] The introduction of R18 octocopters,[50] additional Starlink terminals,[41] and eventually the Delta battlefield management system to the Ukrainian military would continue to improve these capabilities.
