These funds were used to purchase and transfer 10,000 FPV kamikaze drones with Ukrainian-made HEAT and high-explosive incendiary warheads to the Ukrainian Defense Forces. The Come Back Alive Foundation received first 5,000 kamikaze drones in October.

The drones have already been handed over to Ukrainian defenders in various parts of the frontline. The Come Back Alive Foundation received the second batch of 5,000 FPV drones in early December. The Ukrainian military approved the models of FPV drones and their ammunition.

The drones were manufactured by a foreign company that specializes in the production of drones.
