"Four-wheel drive pickup trucks will be able to go where the enemy does not expect them to.

Due to the pickup trucks, it is possible to quickly transfer units, bring the most necessary supplies to the battlefield, or evacuate the wounded," the Foundation noted. The pickup trucks provide Ukrainian defenders with mobility, maneuverability, logistics support and save lives. The Come Back Alive Foundation emphasized that reliable vehicles are one of the most common requests from the military.

Earlier in April, the Come Back Alive Foundation, together with the Ukrnafta company, transferred a large batch of Peugeot pickup trucks to the Air Defense Forces. The new vehicles had been delivered to soldiers of an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion. This air defense battalion covers Ukrainian skies in the northeast.

The Peugeot pickup trucks are designed to help the military quickly arrive at any point in the direction of movement of Russian drones or cruise missiles.

The vehicles are to be equipped with destruction and detection equipment that will help shoot down Russian air targets at low altitudes.
