SOCIAL media platforms are cracking down on recruitment strategies linked to a video game called **Drone Battle: Ukraine**, which serves as a recruitment tool for Russia's drone factory in Tatarstan. Investigators describe the game as part of a larger campaign targeting young people through platforms like YouTube and TikTok, using 'gamification' to normalize military roles. Techniques include targeting, baiting with false opportunities, influencer promotions, and gradual commitment.
Despite actions taken by platforms to remove associated accounts, recruitment persists. Users are advised to verify job offers and remain cautious of unusually generous opportunities.
