Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense-accredited WeTrueGun drone school has turned Grand Theft Auto V into a practical FPV drone simulator.
Pilots connect real radio controllers such as the Radiomaster TX16S and train in the game’s vast open-world map, which includes thermal vision and dynamic moving targets.
The mod takes advantage of unrestricted urban environments, vehicles, and pedestrians to closely replicate actual combat conditions without the boundaries or scripted scenarios found in dedicated simulators.
It serves as a low-cost supplement for sharpening skills, experimenting with mission designs, and keeping operators sharp between live training sessions.
The school’s full 35-to-37-day program already covers drone assembly, tactics, electronic warfare countermeasures, situational awareness systems, and more.
