The news was published on Serhiy Prytula's official social media pages. As part of the new project, the Foundation plans to purchase automotive equipment, watercraft, reconnaissance, and attack unmanned systems. The list includes:
- 7 EOS UAVs
- 1000 FPV drones and equipment for them
- 20 landing craft
- 30 IVECO trucks
The goal of the project is to raise UAH 101,600,000.
According to plans, UAH 45 million from the campaign's total budget will be spent to purchase the EOS C reconnaissance drones. These UAVs are actively used against positions in the enemy's rear, and help guide HIMARS missile systems.
In June, Militarnyi wrote about the Defense Forces of Ukraine using this system. Additionally, 1,000 FPV drones, along with control stations and communication repeaters worth UAH 25 million, will be purchased for graduates of the Boryviter military school. Volunteers will also purchase 30 Iveco military trucks available in private warehouses in Europe.
They will help military logisticians in transporting ammunition and soldiers. The acquisition budget is UAH 24 million. The final position is the high-speed landing craft for the Ukrainian Defense Forces, which will help in forcing water obstacles.
The boats will be ordered and manufactured by Ukrainian enterprises, and their total value will be UAH 7 million 600 thousand. Militarnyi also reported that the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation recently purchased Kia KM450 SUVs for the Ukrainian military, which were stored at the bankrupt Bohdan Motors enterprise.
