Pair behind One Stop Nuptials now say they are in the business of planning funerals as they use drones to attack Putin’s forces
When Volodymyr and Roman send their drones on spying missions outside the Ukrainian port of Kherson, they use skills first honed doing wedding photography before the war.
Back then, the pair ran “One Stop Nuptials”, a wedding agency whose services included drone camera-flybys of the bride and groom’s big day.
Now, rather than filming happy crowds at churches, the pair stalk the banks of the Dnipro river, sending drones across to spy on troops on the Russian-occupied east side. And as they darkly joke, today they are in the business of planning funerals, not weddings.
“When we spot Russian troop positions we pass the locations on to our own artillery units,” said Roman. “Sometimes we’ll also bring along a guy with us who’s got a drone that can drop grenades on them too.”
