Ukrainian actor Serhii Strelnikov enlists in Unmanned Systems Forces
Strelnikov has starred in several critically acclaimed films in recent years, including the 2026 action-thriller "Killhouse," where he played a special forces commander.
Ukrainian actor Serhii Strelnikov declared on October 8 that he had joined the Unmanned Systems Forces, expressing his pride in being part of this group. In an Instagram post, he pledged to "learn, adapt, and fulfill my duties conscientiously." Strelnikov has enlisted with the Ferro-6 Unmanned Systems Battalion of the 9th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade, a unit primarily composed of soldiers with infantry combat experience who now operate from the air to locate and destroy the enemy.
The Ukrainian actor, known for his critically acclaimed roles in films like the historical drama "Dovbush" (2023) and the action thriller "Killhouse" (2026), has become one of many prominent Ukrainian cultural figures who have enlisted in the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the onset of the full-scale war. Denys Kapustin, co-star of "Killhouse," also enlisted after the film's filming concluded, following in Strelnikov's footsteps.
