A large-scale charity fundraiser worth 100 million hryvnias has been launched in Ukraine to provide the military with the latest, completely classified development in the field of unmanned systems.
Volunteer and advisor to the Minister of Defense Serhiy Sternenko announced a collection for new innovative weapons. It is noted that the new drones, created jointly with domestic manufacturers, will allow the Defense Forces to gain a critically important advantage on the battlefield.
"It will give our troops a much-needed advantage. The Russians have no resistance, they will be unable to do anything. The enemy will suffer greater losses, and our soldiers will be able to destroy him even more effectively," the official campaign announcement states.
For security reasons, all technical details and the principle of operation of the new development will be kept strictly secret for the coming months.
The scaling of the innovation will take place in two stages to minimize time losses. Currently, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is already working to integrate these drones into the public procurement system.
However, since official procedures take a long time, the volunteers decided to act ahead of time and raise funding in parallel. This will allow the latest weapons to be on the front lines and begin destroying the enemy before the bureaucratic processes in the ministry are completed.
The collected 100 million hryvnias will be used to purchase a whole complex of equipment, which is planned to equip 20 military units at once. The large-scale batch will include over 3,600 innovative drones, as well as 30 repeaters and 30 special carrier drones for them.
In less than 30 minutes from the start of the collection, 3 million hryvnias have already been collected.
Earlier, Serhiy Sternenko spoke with Fire Point's chief designer Denis Shtilerman, who spoke about the localization of the company's products.
