This was reported on the university's official website. In total, the students purchased and handed over 11 FPV systems for the Donetsk Border Guard Detachment, which is performing combat missions in eastern Ukraine. As part of the fundraising for the Heavenly Punishment FPV systems, UAH 235,000 was raised, which was used to purchase drones for the military.

Despite the small number of drones donated--only 11--this is an important contribution that demonstrates that even students do not stand aside in the war against Russia. As a reminder, more and more philanthropists are now donating necessary equipment, including FPV drones, to the defense forces. Previously, Militarnyi reported that Vinnytsia donated 2000 FPV drones to the Defense Forces.

The Ukrainian military needs a large number of drones of this type to effectively destroy enemy equipment, fortifications, etc.

Due to FPV drones, the military can hit enemy targets at long distances, and models with a powerful warhead can effectively hit any heavy armored vehicles. As a reminder, the Ukrainian military and the invaders released videos and photos of at least nine destroyed Russian army installations in May-April.

These are artillery systems that were captured on video or photos in the public domain.

The main means of destruction were FPV strike drones that carry a powerful explosive charge.
