The Come Back Alive Foundation has launched a fundraising of 10 million hryvnias for communications support for the Ukrainian military. This project is implemented jointly with the IT company N-iX. The raised funds will be used to purchase 400 radios for the Ukrainian Defence Forces.

The charitable foundation notes that this amount is enough to provide communications support for one brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or to cover dozens of requests from Ukrainian defenders. "Communications support is the nervous system of the army. And when it's high-quality and secured, it increases the controllability of troops.

Without communication, neither defense nor attack is possible," the Come Back Alive Foundation emphasized.

Also, the charitable fund calls to support the initiative and at 5 p.m. on Saturday, August 19, to turn on the Underground Stand-up YouTube channel, where a charity stream will be held in support of this project. As previously reported, on June 1, the "Pack the Sky - Boost Air Defense" project was launched. This is a joint charitable project of Nova Poshta and the Come Back Alive Foundation.

The goal is to raise UAH 330 million for the air defense force's communications and mobile command posts. The funds collected through the project will be allocated for the following needs:

  • portable command posts: a transformer workplace for sky defenders;
  • comprehensive communications hardware;
  • mobile command posts;
  • backpacks for mobile fire teams: light and at the same time functional, as they contain all necessary types of communication.

The equipment will help the defenders of the Ukrainian sky to be in touch at all times and react even faster to enemy attacks: in seconds instead of minutes.

For the first time, the Foundation, jointly with the big business, is implementing a project on the complex modernization of communications, management, and target designation for the Air Force.

As of the beginning of August, the project has managed to collect 85,000,000 hryvnias for the defenders of the Ukrainian sky.
