Ukrtelecom has handed over another batch of special purpose drones to the Ukrainian military as part of the Rinat Akhmetov’s Steel Front military initiative.
Tasks for drones
The UAVs will help soldiers perform combat missions at the front. Just like the previous ones, these one hundred drones are also Ukrainian-made.
“The war of technology is now underway: the more technologically advanced our army is, the faster we will defeat the enemy. FPV drones are one of the most effective munitions our army has. And their number is of great importance in bringing the victory over the enemy closer,” says Ihor, a platoon commander of the 47th Brigade’s UAV attack platoon, call sign “Hammer”.
He thanked Rinat Akhmetov’s Steel Front on behalf of himself and his comrades-in-arms for their continued support and assistance to the Defense Forces.
Glory to the Heroes!
“Every day we thank our defenders for waking up at home, working in the office, and starting to prepare for Christmas. We are on our land because of you. So we are doing everything we can to support our heroes,” said Yuriy Kurmaz, CEO of Ukrtelecom.
Over the course of the full-scale war, Ukrtelecom has already handed over dozens of UAVs, including Valkyrie and Leleka unmanned aerial systems, hundreds of drones, thousands of special command and control equipment, medical supplies, hundreds of vehicles and much more to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
