OKKO network and “COME BACK ALIVE” Foundation have completed the third wave of the joint initiative OKO ZA OKO, according to which 10 Air Assault Forces units have received modern PULLSTRON reconnaissance and destruction systems worth UAH 500 million. The last one PULLSTRON complex was delivered in January to the 78th Separate Air Assault Regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as part of this initiative. So, all 10 systems are now operating on the front line.
“Thanks to the projects like OKO ZA OKO, we have opportunity to receive the newest equipment that we use on a daily basis,” said the soldier with the call sign Krym, who is responsible for the unmanned systems of the 78th Air Assault Regiment. “PULLSTRON includes equipment and weapons sufficient for proper functioning of our unit. This is quite mighty equipment that has already proven itself in combat. Each item effectively performs its task - reconnaissance UAVs, strike UAVs, and other means. These weapons are most actively used on the contact line and are very important now”
According to estimations of “COME BACK ALIVE” Foundation, PULLSTRON drones have already helped destroy on the battlefield enemy equipment worth USD 220 million. And this is without taking into account manpower and small property. Thus, the PULLSTRONES have already inflicted 20 times more damage on the enemy than their total cost. And they continue to work for victory.
“These results are real not only due the unique capabilities of the complexes, which combine attack and reconnaissance drones, communications and control equipment, but also because of professional staff of The 80th separate air assault Galician brigade, 79th Tavria brigade, 25th Sicheslav brigade, 46th and 77th airmobile brigades” adds Oleh Karpenko, Deputy Director of the “COME BACK ALIVE”.
“In our case, completion of this stage of the project means only one thing - the war is not over and the Army still needs our help. I am grateful to everyone who fueled Pulls of Revenge or donated, as well as to the businesses that supported OKO ZA OKO. I am sure that we will continue to strengthen our defenders together as long as necessary” commented Vasil Dmytriv, OKKO's Vice President of marketing.
He added that for already three years, together with “Come Back Alive” foundation, OKKO has been helping Armed Forces of Ukraine to meet the needs in weapons and special equipment. Within the framework of “OKO ZA OKO” initiative there were handed over 25 SHARK reconnaissance systems worth UAH 325 million, 600 firearms (grenade launchers, mortars, machine guns) worth UAH 400 million, and now 10 special PULLSTRON complexes worth UAH 500 million were provided to the Airborne Forces. In total, since the beginning of the war, OKKO has allocated almost UAH 2.4 billion to help the Armed Forces and restore the country.
