The 58th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has received a large batch of Darts strike drones. The KOLO Charity Foundation, which donated the UAVs, reported on this. The relevant photos were published on the organization's Facebook page.

This batch included 100 Ukrainian-made Darts kamikaze drones worth UAH 3,900,000. The UACatsDivision Crypto community completed the fundraising for their purchase with one donor, the Foundation shared.

The Foundation emphasized that 12 drones worth UAH 12 million had been donated as part of the 'The Owls Flew Away' fundraising campaign.

These drones can perform both reconnaissance and strike functions. Each drone's board can carry up to 4 kg of ammunition, 2 kg on each side. The KOLO Charity Foundation noted that the Sych UAV is one of the best drones in its niche.

Ukrainian defenders need it for reconnaissance, target reconnaissance, and bombing deep behind enemy lines.
