The first 82mm mortars purchased by the Come Back Alive Foundation are already destroying Russian invaders on the front line. The weapons were handed over to two Territorial Defense brigades as part of the "EYE FOR AN EYE" project with the OKKO gas station network. Recently, the mortars have been delivered to the 104th Territorial Defense Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Rivne region and the 117th Territorial Defense Brigade.

In total, 21 units of 82-mm mortars were handed over to the military.

This weapon can fire at a distance of up to 4 km and is useful in both defense and offense.

In April of this year, the Come Back Alive Foundation and OKKO gas station network launched a project to arm the Territorial Defense Forces. The "EYE FOR AN EYE 2" project plans to accumulate UAH 400 million.

Last week, it was reported that UAH 300 million had already been raised, which was 75% of the required amount to purchase 300 82mm mortars, 200 heavy machine guns, and 100 automatic grenade launchers for all Territorial Defense Forces brigades. These are some of the main models of team infantry weapons that the Territorial Defense Forces use to deter the enemy along the entire front line on a daily basis.

Part of the weapons purchased under this project will be Ukrainian-made; therefore, the project will also support the domestic economy as these are jobs and taxes that remain and continue working in Ukraine. The Come Back Alive Foundation is purchasing the weapons. In the first half of August, the brigades of Territorial Defense Forces received 200 DShKM 12.7mm machine guns.

The machine guns can neutralize enemy infantry and destroy Russian light armored vehicles, as well as fight low-altitude air targets.

To join the project, one should fill up the car at OKKO, and 1 UAH from each liter of PULLS 95 or PULLS Diesel fuel sold at the OKKO gas station will be automatically transferred to the "EYE FOR AN EYE 2" project.
