Ukrainian defenders fighting the Russian invaders in the Zaporizhzhia region have received drones, electronic warfare systems and machinery worth almost UAH 130 million. The head of Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration Ivan Fedorov announced this. This assistance was handed over to 45 units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in January this year.
In total, the military received more than 1500 FPV drones and DJI Mavic drones, as well as more than a thousand additional equipment for the drones, power supplies, night vision devices, ammunition, and communications equipment.

Also, the Ukrainian defense received more than 100 electronic warfare (EW) systems, without which it is now impossible to imagine a modern battlefield.
In addition, the soldiers holding the line in the Zaporizhzhia region received dozens of unmanned aerial systems, ground robotic systems and buggies that allow them to move over rough terrain. In December, Militarnyi reported that the community of the Zaporizhzhia region had purchased and handed over 150 DJI Mavic day and night drones to the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
Along with the drones, the military received signal amplifiers for better flight.
