Ukrainian charity fund hands over 142 drones for UA army after Ukrainians donated $9 mln

The Serhii Prytula Fund purchased 142 drones for Ukrainian "revenge"  donations for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them are 50 drones capable of flying 800 km, 50 UAVs with a 30 km range, and 42 drones with a 200 km range.

Rubryka reports, referring to the Facebook of volunteer Serhii Prytula.

"142 drones with a total cost of UAH 351,434,900 [$8,645,384] will convey (and some are already doing that) your greetings to the occupiers.

We will transfer the remaining UAH 565,100 to purchase the next Valkiria UAV complex, which will help our artillery destroy the enemy," Prytula said.

We will remind you that on October 10, the russian invaders launched their first massive missile attack on Ukraine's energy and civilian infrastructure. Then the Prytula Foundation announced a fundraising "for revenge." They collected UAH 352 million in one day.

The volunteers planned to purchase RAM II kamikaze drones with ground stations capable of flying at a distance of up to 30 kilometers.

Reference

It should be noted that two weeks after the "revenge" collection, literally in a day and a half, Prytula collected another 236 million to purchase Spartan armored personnel carriers.

And Prytula's most extensive collection closed in the summer when in three days, Ukrainians donated 600 million hryvnias to purchase Bayraktars.

The Baykar company donated three UAVs to Ukraine after seeing how Ukrainians give away their small to large savings for Bayraktar drones.

Subsequently, the Prytula team spent the collected 600 million on purchasing a satellite for the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

In general, since February 24, the fund of the former showman has collected more than 3.5 billion hryvnias.

Rubryka also talked about how a small company of engineers united in Kyiv eleven months ago.

These guys didn't know how to hold a gun, but they could create drones for our military. They produce and send to the Ukrainian Armed Forces of Ukraine, Defense Intelligence, border service, and other units that stand in defense of Ukraine.
