What is the Army of Drones?

As Rubryka reported, the United24 fundraising platform with the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ministry of Digital Information announced the launch of the Army of Drones project.

The project's primary goal is to raise 200 professional unmanned aerial systems of the tactical level for aerial surveillance of the Ukrainian army.

To help with the fundraising, you can donate to the project or give away your drone. You can support the Ukrainian Armed Forces and join the project from any corner of the world by donating to the UNITED24 platform.

You can send your drone to the warehouse of the project partners—Help Ukraine in Poland or Razom for Ukraine in the USA, and from there, it will be delivered to Ukraine. 

As Rubryka reported, this program includes the systematic purchase of drones, their repair, prompt replacement, and a pilot training course.

We will remind you that Ukrainians have already donated 400 million hryvnias for the Army of Drones for Ukrainian defenders in a week. The first batch of unmanned aerial vehicles sent to the Ukrainian Armed Forces as part of the project has already left for the front line.
