January and February
In January and February, we actively invested in drones. We bought one bomber drone, spare parts for FPV drones (flight controllers, video transmitters, signal receivers, motors, frames, etc.), tools and supplies for soldering, and 3 batteries for Autel EVO Max 4T drones. We also delivered a Mavic 3 drone thanks to our partners.
In addition, thanks to a joint effort by several organizations, we completed the fundraiser for 3 EW devices, parts for assembling EW devices, and drone detectors. They’re already being assembled, so we’re going to deliver them to our fighters soon.
We also helped our fighters to repair two vehicles and sent them a hydraulic car jack and a multifunctional compressor. And the volunteer soldiers who are not paid salaries by the AFU received 10 financial aid payments from us in the amount of 150 euros each.
As usual, we continue to provide our comrades with devices and military equipment. In 2 months, we delivered a tablet, 2 cell phones, 2 generators, a digital microscope, 3 Motorola radio batteries, a power bank, and 7 packs of regular batteries. In terms of military equipment, we sent a reflector sight for a machine gun, helmets, 3 plate carriers, 2 tactical unloading system, 6 flashlights, a backpack for an FPV drone and a backpack for assault troops, tactical goggles with vision correction inserts, 34 chemical warmers, 4 mats, 4 sleeping bags, 19 various pouches, a military tent, a field kitchen, etc.
The cold months brought a need for warm clothing. So we delivered a winter jacket, 3 pairs of trousers, 3 military suits (5, 6 and 7 layers), 3 pairs of military boots, 7 pairs of tactical gloves, 4 hats, 3 thermal sweaters and 1 set of thermal underwear, 2 pairs of knee pads, 3 neck gaiters, socks, etc.
As for medical equipment, we delivered 46 CAT 7 tourniquets, 85 emergency bandages, 41 chest seals, 21 hemostatic bandages, 15 decompression needles, 32 thermal blankets, 8 cricothyrotomy kits, 12 splints, 3 ITClamps, 25 pairs of medical scissors, 16 eye protection pads, 3 IFAKs, and a lot of supplies and medications.
In early February, our team visited the Kharkiv region with a cargo of pet food. We delivered over 200 kg of pet food to animal care volunteers and people who take care of animals.
Finally, we’re diving deeper and deeper into the subject of our own FPV drone manufacturing. And although we are still far from mass manufacturing, Collectives members are gradually mastering this field as well. And our first drones have been successfully tested and are already working on the frontlines.
Of course, we had to mark a date that is important to all of us, February 24. The second anniversary of the beginning of the full-scale invasion. We tried to monitor all the demonstrations in support of Ukraine organized by anti-authoritarian groups all over the world and cover them. We also tried to summarize our work over the 2 years of the war in a short video. Watch it if you haven’t already.
Thank you for being with us these 2 months. No, actually, these 2 years. We carry on working.
