A group of volunteers who bonded over their love of Peaky Blinders have become one of Kyiv’s most-feared military units – claiming to have killed hundreds of Russian soldiers in Vladimir Putin’s war machine.

At the beginning of Russia’s invasion, the group of civilians turned out to defend their hometowns armed only with shotguns like the Shelby gang in the television hit. But after three years of intense fighting, the unit – named The Peaky Blinders – has evolved to become one of Kyiv’s deadliest drone squads.
