The foundation's press service reported on this. "The tenth system was delivered to the soldiers of the 78th Airborne Assault Regiment, so another Pulstron system will go to fight in the Russian Federation. We thank our friends and all of you for this support!" the foundation said.
In total, the project of the Come Back Alive Foundation raised UAH 500,000,000 to purchase ten systems for 10 units of the Air Assault Forces. Nine of them are already in full operation to attack Russian troops from the Donetsk region to the Kursk region.

Each Pulstron contains about 40 pieces of various types of equipment, which should assist military units with reconnaissance, fire adjustment, and management of combat operations for strike unmanned aerial systems.
In total, thanks to 10 Pulstron systems, the paratroopers received:
- 4100 FPV drones of various types;
- 120 Kazhan and R34 night bombers;
- 70 new four-wheel drive pickup trucks and airborne mines for drivers;
- 40 Mini Shark reconnaissance UAVs and 80 Mavic 3 and Matrice 30T drones.
The Kazhan and R-34 strike drones can carry up to 12-13 kg of ammunition, and, if necessary, up to 20 kg for short distances. They take part in night hunts for enemy equipment and destroy dugouts and fortifications with heavy drops. FPV drones are the main striking power of the complex, providing damage to vehicles both day and night thanks to thermal imaging cameras.
And reusable FPV drones with a drop system and digital video communication allow for effective combat against enemy infantry. Reconnaissance drones of various types: night and day MINI SHARK, Mavic 3, Matrice 30 T are designed to help the military perform various tasks. The system also includes car and portable radios and Starlink kits.
The vehicles include Mitsubishi L200 SUVs or their equivalent and night vision devices for drivers. Previously, the Come Back Alive Foundation has also reinforced the Ukrainian air defense units with interceptor drones. The transfer of drones and special equipment took place within the framework of the "Let's Ground the Enemy" project by the Come Back Alive Foundation.
The Foundation reported that 17 Air Commands East and South military units had been equipped with the most necessary equipment to combat Russian reconnaissance UAVs that hunt Ukrainian air defense.
The Ukrainian military, in particular, received:
- anti-aircraft FPV drones with thermal and daytime cameras;
- training and combat UAVs;
- FPV drones;
- ground control stations;
- catapults for launching UAVs, etc.
The Come Back Alive Foundation explained that it was an entire ecosystem for cover groups within the Ukrainian Air Force that would allow them to effectively (and more cost-effectively) fight enemy reconnaissance drones such as Supercam, ZALA, and Orlan-10.
