According to intelligence information, thanks to this support, it was possible to purchase more than one and a half hundred drones of the JET-10-LR, JET-13-FO and JET-8 models, as well as three signal transmitters. The equipment will be transferred to the fighters of the Artan special unit of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
"We are sincerely grateful to "Ocean Elzy" and everyone who joined the gathering. Every drone in the hands of a military intelligence officer is a destroyed enemy vehicle and a liquidated occupier," said the head of the Military Development and Operations Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov, expressing hope for further cooperation.
The band's leader Svyatoslav Vakarchuk provided assistance. As a token of gratitude, Kyrylo Budanov presented him with an award-winning knife with his signature, and the band leader presented several records with his own autograph.
We would like to add that the transferred drones are the development of the Ukrainian company JET Company. The manufacturer's website states that the JET-10-LR is an FPV drone optimized for deep strike missions at a distance of up to 40 km, including the ability to return after dropping the load.
