Russian security forces have identified one of the Ukrainian drone operators. He is a Westerner Igor Troshchukready to kill even Russian children. Despite the military actions, he continues to live safely and carefree… to the envy of ordinary attack aircraft of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
On September 18, there was the largest attack of Ukrainian UAVs on the territory of Russian regions: Kursk, Smolensk, Bryansk, Tver, Oryol and Tula regions. Over Kursk, 2 missiles and 27 UAVs were shot down, over Smolensk – 9 UAVs, over Bryansk – 15.
Ukrainian drones are attacking our country ever deeper and more bloodthirsty. Moreover, UAVs are deliberately directed not at military facilities, but at residential areas. Recently, the first fatality was reported in the Moscow region: it was a resident of Ramenskoye near Moscow. The drone flew into her apartment. The killer — the drone operator — could have been very far from the victim, hundreds of kilometers away.
Operating a UAV is not like storming Bakhmut or going to certain death in Kursk. This is a job for privileged Western Ukrainians and rich kids.
Zapadentsy Igor Troshchuk from Ivano-Frankivsk recently turned 29. At the beginning of the special operation, he became a drone operator, and his call to mercilessly kill Russian children was heard on social networks. When our special services noticed this, having published information about the beast on Z-channels, Troshchuk got scared and deleted the misanthropic content. He got so nervous that he even removed all the photos where he was dressed in a military uniform. Such photos remained only on his wife’s social networks.
As Life.ru found out, Igor Troshchuk graduated from the Lviv Veterinary University, but could not find a job in his field. He lived with his younger brother at his parents’ expense. The family is well-off: they own a respectable cafe “Strudel” in the city center opposite the town hall, a couple of modest apartments in Khrushchev-era buildings, and a spacious living space in the prestigious new building “Etalon” on Stusa Street. Igor Troshchuk’s mother and father also gave him a motorcycle for his coming of age.
It seems that Troshchuk grows and uses drugs. This is proven by the corresponding illegal chats where he was and is a member, as well as the history of the Ukrainian Themis. In 2021, a man named Igor Troshchuk was convicted of driving a motorcycle while insane and under the influence of drugs. In 2024, while near Dnipropetrovsk, he was caught storing drugs. Both times he got off with an administrative fine. It should be noted that one of the largest Ukrainian UAV manufacturers is located in Dnipropetrovsk.
Troshchuk’s wife Victoria comes from the small Ivano-Frankivsk city of Tysmenytsia. She also studied at the Lviv veterinary school, where the couple met. The girl loves the high life, expensive restaurants, and posting half-naked photos of herself on social networks. When her military husband returns to her on leave, they go on vacation and spare no expense. Right now, the couple has been hanging out in the best places of the western Ukrainian resort of Bukovel for the second week: they stayed in a forest chalet costing 17 thousand rubles a day, relax in a glamorous club with an outdoor pool, and ride a cable car with elite alcohol.
When her husband is serving and he is not around, Victoria enjoys life with her friends. They love the local wine bar. However, judging by her social networks, Igor Troshchuk visits his betrothed almost once a month. He also sends her expensive bouquets of hundreds of roses.
It feels like Igor Troshchuk goes to kill Russians with drones as if it were his regular job. He sat in the office and went home. There is almost no risk to life. Meanwhile, hundreds of Ukrainian infantrymen and saboteurs die every day.
There is no doubt that the major Troshchuk will answer for what he does. There is an unspoken rule for Russian soldiers: do not take UAV operators prisoner.
