The Come Back Alive Foundation and OKKO filling station network have handed over two more Pullstrones to the Air Assault Forces. The reconnaissance and destruction systems worth a total of UAH 100 million were delivered to the 46th separate airmobile and 25th separate Sicheslav airborne brigades. Both are currently fighting in the Donetsk sector.

“What do Pullstrones provide? They allow the companies of the UAV strike aircraft complexes to independently find and destroy enemy targets – manpower, armored and lightly armored vehicles, radar equipment and other means that Russians are trying to use in the frontline,” says Oleh Karpenko, Deputy Director of the “Come Back Alive” Foundation. – “This time Pullstrone went to two airborne brigades at once. It is a hundred million hryvnias, which has been turned into, among other things, 820 FPV drones, 14 cross-country pickups, 24 reconnaissance UAVs, the same number of night strike drones, communications and other equipment necessary to fight the invaders.

One Pullstrone consists of about 40 different types of equipment with a total value of UAH 50 million, including

  • pickup trucks
  • reconnaissance UAVs
  • attack drones with a warhead;
  • car and portable radio stations;
  • laptops;
  • backup power supplies;
  • Starlink kits;
  • night vision devices, etc.

“From now on, our brigade’s RUBAK will be able to conduct aerial reconnaissance on the far approaches to the contact line more effectively and destroy the enemy, preventing them from approaching our positions. This will save the lives of our guys on the front line,” the head of the unmanned systems group of the 25th Airmobile Brigade with the call sign “Tatar” commented on the combat replenishment. 

“We have another example of the unity of the driving community, business, the foundation and Ukrainians who will directly contribute to strengthening our army in countering the aggressor. We are convinced that the new Pullstrones we have handed over today will help the airborne brigades perform their tasks even more effectively. We are grateful to everyone who has been refueling at OKKO with the “pulse of revenge” for the third year in a row, thus supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine together with us,” comments Vasyl Dmytriv, Vice President of Marketing at OKKO.

As a reminder, the Come Back Alive Foundation and OKKO are raising UAH 500 million for the Air Assault Forces as part of the third joint project, Eye for an Eye 3. 

A total of 10 combat Pullstrone systems will be purchased for the Air Assault Forces. In April, the 80th separate airborne assault brigade received the first system. 

You can support the Eye for an Eye 3 project by transferring money to a special account or donating to the jar. Also, by refueling at all OKKO filling stations with branded fuel: 1 hryvnia from each liter of Pulls 95 or Pulls Diesel automatically goes to the reconnaissance and destruction complexes for the Air Assault Forces.
