OKKO network and the "COME BACK ALIVE" Foundation plan to acquire 10 combat PULLSTRON set for the units of the airborne assault forces within the framework of the OKO ZA OKO 3.0 initiative, which started on February 1. One such reconnaissance and destruction set includes more than 40 items of versatile weapons and equipment. In particular, Mini Shark UAV, DJI Mavic and other reconnaissance drones, unmanned bombers and FPV drones with ammo, pickup van, communication and night vision devices. The cost of one PULLSTRON set is 50 million hryvnias. The total cost of the project makes 500 million hryvnias.
The composition of these sets is coordinated with Ukrainian Air Assault Forces. According to preliminary estimation, the amount of ammo and strike drones in one PULLSTRON is enough to carry out the combat tasks of one unit during six months.
"We have long chosen a key area of our assistance in strengthening the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a responsible business, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, our company has already allocated more than 1.3 billion UAH to help the army and restore the country. In particular, in the first OKO za OKO initiative, we provided artillery brigades and reconnaissance brigades with 25 intelligence complexes "SHARK", within the second initiative OKO za OKO-2 - we accumulated UAH 400 million for weapons for the territorial defense forces. Now we start another even more ambitious goal - 500 million hryvnias on detection and destruction complexes for 10 units of the aiborne assault forces. That's why we're launching again the Pulls of Revenge," commented Vasyl Dmytriv, OKKO’s Marketing Vice President.
The system of fundraising on PULLSTRONS remains the same as during the previous stages of OKO ZA OKO. From every sold liter of Pulls fuel at OKKO network of fuel stations, the company transfers 1 hryvnia to the Come Back Alive. In addition, all those who wish is welcome to make an additional donation to the special account of the Fund.
"Our new project is a record collection of the Fund and business. Half a billion hryvnias, which we accumulate together, will be spent on helping my native Airborne Assault Forces. We will provide companies of unmanned attack aircraft complexes (RUBAK) in 10 units of the aiborne assault forces. Unmanned aerial devices show their high efficiency, and RUBAKs partially take over the function of artillery and, under favorable conditions, can significantly change the theater of war," commented the deputy director of the Come Back Alive Foundation, veteran Oleg Karpenko.
Within the framework of this initiative, it is planned to acquire:
4,100 pieces of FPV drones with day and night cameras and ammo;
120 pieces of Kazan and R-34 UAV with ammo;
40 pieces of reconnaissance UAVs MINI SHARK with daytime and infrared imaging cameras;
40 pieces of Mavic 3 More Combo copters and 40 pieces of Matrice 30 T copters with all necessary accessories;
70 new pickup vans;
70 pieces of night vision devices for drivers;
200 pieces of car and portable radio stations.
All the equipment have already been contracted and will be transferred to the military as received. It is expected that the first complexes will start its operation at the Armed Forces already in April.
