Former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko is not weary of doing good for the Ukranian army. On Friday, the politician said he spent about $900 thousand to purchase a batch of 40 “Vampire” drones.
“These drones strike fear into the enemy. They’re fast. They hunt at night. These are the ‘Vampires,’ helping us destroy Russian forces. Let the enemy know: very soon, this weapon will be in the hands of our best pilots on the front lines,” said Poroshenko.
The Ukrainian-made drones can fly up to 400 meters in altitude, cover a distance of up to 10 kilometers, and carry payloads of up to 15 kilograms. It enables them to target armored vehicles, including tanks/
Equipped with thermal cameras, “Vampires” are helpful in nighttime operations and are more resistant to electronic jamming than other drones. They also feature an automatic return function, enhancing their operational reliability.
Apart from their combat use, these drones can deliver food and water to hard-to-reach locations, which can be vital for Ukrainian troops in various terrains.
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.
