The 126th Territorial Defense Brigade received a Mini Shark unmanned aerial reconnaissance system and 200 Darts strike drones. The Come Back Alive Foundation donated the drones. They were purchased thanks to a contribution from Ukrenergo.

"To make this happen, our partners from NPC Ukrenergo donated UAH 14,153,080.4 for this batch of birds. So both we and the brigade's soldiers are grateful to the company for their support," the Foundation shared. The Come Back Alive Foundation noted that the Ukrainian military will use the Mini Shark reconnaissance system to search for enemy targets.

And those targets will be immediately destroyed with the help of domestic Darts fixed-wing strike drones. Last month, the 126th Brigade received radios, remotes for FPV drones, a generator, a tablet, a laptop, Starlink, a monitor, and other items from the Come Back Alive Foundation.

At the end of August, the Come Back Alive Foundation, together with the ANC pharmacy chain, also purchased reconnaissance and attack drones for the military.

The Foundation has raised UAH 2.2 million for several types of drones for the unmanned aerial vehicle units of the 44th Separate Artillery Brigade. UAH 1,000,000 was used to purchase a set of 23 Darts attack drones, catapults, and other equipment.

In addition, this amount also covered a DJI Mavic 3 PRO quadcopter. An additional UAH 1,200,000 was spent on three sets of Molfar 8 FPV drones.

Darts

Darts is a Ukrainian-made fixed-wing drone designed based on components from FPV drones.

The Darts drone's fuselage can withstand numerous hits from small arms.

This aerodynamic design allows for more efficient use of battery power and longer-range operation.
