The news was published on Petro Poroshenko's X account. Petro Poroshenko, together with volunteers of the NGO Sparva Hromad, handed over the first command and staff complex, which should provide operation in the field for Ukrainian pilots. Based on the DAF YA truck, the mobile complex consists of two parts: a headquarters and a rest area.

The work area is located on the truck chassis, and the place for rest--in the trailer. Poroshenko said that the first complex was already tested by the military and was put into operation. Its cost is about UAH 1.3 million.

The mobile complex is designed for the work of six people. For them, places are equipped in the working area: computers are installed, power is connected, and communication is established for constant exchange of information.

The module is equipped with air conditioning, a heating system, and other necessary things for comfortable work. In the module for rest for the crew, there are sleeping places, boxes for personal belongings, a power supply and a built-in refrigerator, a coffee maker, and a microwave oven. It is noted that the complex is made based on cars and American containers purchased by the fund from 155 mm ammunition.

"This is all done by our team, we do not buy them, but produce them," Poroshenko emphasized. "This first complex is sent tomorrow for transfer to pilots, we will not yet say which part," Poroshenko said.

It should be noted that in the field there are various units of the Air Force: those are pilots of army aviation operating helicopters, and even fighter pilots of tactical aviation.

The batch included Foden, DAF and Tatra tractors, mobile repair shops, laundry and bath complexes, drones, truck tires, and other equipment.
