During his visit to the border region of Sumy, former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko delivered a new batch of FPV drones, reconnaissance drones, and other equipment to Ukrainian military units. He also met with the “Yenot’ battalion troops who showed him the trophies they captured on the incursion into the enemy territory.
Among the captured assets are a Russian “Tornado” multiple rocket launcher, an infantry fighting machine, and a 120mm mortar.
As drones remain in short supply, Poroshenko revealed that his campaign helps send the army some 4,000 drones each month, and he is determined to keep this criticial supplies flowing in.
Since the Feb.24 invasion, the fomer Ukrainian president has sent military equipment and weapons worth 5.6 billion hryvnas to the Ukrainian forces. This year alone, his effort got Ukrainian defenders over 27,000 FPV drones that are hailed for their “60% efficiency rate”.
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.
