STATUS:

CAMPAIGN CLOSED. 287K UAH (7K USD) spent on setting up positions, of which 150K UAH went to equipment upgrades, and the rest to a signal analyzer, twisted pair cables and connectors for ground stations, equipment firmware, cables, propellers, power cables, zip ties for attaching munitions, generator oil, and other miscellaneous supplies to sustain combat positions.


Bank receipts over 2K UAH (46 USD) are in the files.



Special thanks to the Ivano-Frankivsk branch of the Association of Real Estate Professionals, developers Blago, Socium Developer, and Frankivskyy Dim, residential complexes Tower and Alliance, real estate agency Zhytlo, Sunlight LLC, Volodymyr RYMCHUK, Nestor SLIUSARENKO, who raised 73,190 UAH, and everyone who contributed.

THE NEED:

We are upgrading the repeater carrier for automatic operation, increasing its flight time, and consequently, the FPV operational range. This minimizes the chance of carrier operator error. The repeater carrier in this case is a heavy drone (illustrative photo).


Small equipment is needed for combat operations, primarily components for operating repeater carriers. We need repair and maintenance of support equipment — generators, heaters, and charging stations, consumables for arming drones (zip ties, tape), gas for heating and cooking, and a bunch of other miscellaneous items to keep the position functioning.

INITIAL GOAL:

250K UAH (6K USD)

POSITION:



MORE ABOUT POSITION SETUP

There isn't much to say about the standard loadout of a position.


When a position is opened (or relocated), three full vans of gear go there. This includes tools and materials for setting up basic living conditions, folding chairs and beds, cooking equipment, personal gear, provisions, and meds. Operational support equipment — generators, Starlinks, portable charging stations, heaters, fire extinguishers, radios, extension cords, camouflage gear. Various small stuff — tape, zip ties, generator oil, and fuel. Main equipment — individual flight gear, antennas, masts, cables, frequency scanners, signal amplifiers, monitors, tablets, black cases with obscure military stuff. Finally, the means of destruction — drones, munitions, and personal weapons.


When a position "closes", nothing comes back from there.


Some 95% of this list is available. We are constantly raising money for the remaining 5%.
