Canada intends to begin the transfer of 450 SkyRanger multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicles to Ukraine this summer, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense confirmed.
This news became the subject of discussion at an extraordinary meeting of the Drone Coalition group.
At the meeting, Ukraine informed its partners about the situation on the battlefield and the urgent needs to repel enemy attacks.
Canada agreed to transfer 450 SkyRanger multi-purpose drones. Lithuania has decided to allocate 3 million euros for the production of FPV drones for Ukraine. The Netherlands has officially confirmed its plans to contract a batch of Heidrun RQ-35 drones for 200 million euros in cooperation with Denmark and Germany. Germany will also transfer VECTOR 211 reconnaissance drones.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
