"Very difficult times have come. Tariffs are rising, the cost of living is increasing, and there are power outages. It's becoming harder for volunteers to raise money to help the army. But we continue to work on our programs for the military.

The FPV program — almost 20,000 drones transferred in half a year. This is within 10% of what the entire Ukrainian government was able to do, compared to just our Fund. Today another batch — another 800 FPV drones for the soldiers.

The excavator program for fortifications — we are buying up all the available equipment on the market for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to more effectively build defense lines. Today we are again loading TDC excavators for the fighters.

The truck program — almost 500 vehicles of various configurations transferred since 2022. Today we are transporting three more, including our DAF with a manipulator for the artillerymen.

And we are starting a new program — trench electronic warfare (EW), which protects the military right at the zero line. Directly command posts, trenches, departments. In addition to our super successful cyber defense development 'Ai-Petri SV' and drone detectors 'Tsukorok'. We paid for 48 units, the first ones have already arrived. Of course, we would very much like the red button on this EW to blow up the Kremlin, but the fact that it turns on the EW, which protects our fighters at the front — this is already a wonderful result that we strive for.

In total, today's help for the AFU is 28.5 million hryvnias. For a single trip to the Kharkiv region and Donbas for 10 brigades. That's how we work, nothing will stop us.".

It's like 2 pixels, but you can clearly, clearly see the smile.

The tractor is for all the smoldering orc wagons.

Super cool of them, but I’m confused about the photo. They took the time to unbox and set up all of the drones on top of the boxes to take a photo, and then presumably box them all back up again to ship to Ukraine?

More likely the finished product was placed on top of the box and taken out for the photo op.
