Helped destroy more than $700 million worth of Russian equipment. Results of Shark's work

25 Shark reconnaissance systems have detected and helped destroy $733,701,368 worth of Russian military equipment and vehicles. The Come Back Alive Foundation and the OKKO filling station network handed over these reconnaissance systems to the troops last year as part of the OKO ZA OKO joint project.

According to the Defense Forces units that received the systems, the Shark destroyed, in particular

• 110 Russian artillery systems of various types;
• 35 MLRS
• 23 anti-aircraft missile systems and individual launchers
• 73 units of transport;
• 18 armored vehicles;
• 10 radar stations and military communication systems of the occupiers;
• 16 tanks.

They also found ground stations of Russian unmanned aerial vehicles, engineering equipment, enemy control centers and field ammunition depots.

In addition, at least 109 pieces of Russian military equipment detected by the Shark have suffered varying degrees of damage.

Last year, “Come Back Alive” and the OKKO filling station network transferred 25 unmanned aerial systems “Shark” consisting of 75 UAVs to the army. UAH 325 million was raised for them in November 2022 – April 2023.

Almost all artillery brigades and reconnaissance battalions fighting in the Armed Forces of Ukraine have received Shark systems. In addition, four systems were transferred to the Marines, three to mechanized brigades, namely: 72nd Mechanized Brigade named after the Black Cossacks, 28th Mechanized Brigade named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign and 92nd Mechanized Brigade named after the Kosh Ataman Ivan Sirko, two to the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, and one to the technical intelligence unit of the training center that performs combat missions at the front. 

One of the systems played a significant role in the summer offensive campaign in southern Ukraine last year. 

The Shark is also helping the army during the defense operations in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. It is in these areas that the units working with the reconnaissance systems have counted the largest number of destroyed vehicles. 

In the conditions of intense fighting, some UAVs were damaged or lost. However, all 25 complexes, including ground control stations based on the vehicle-assisted vehicles, continue to operate and influence the course of the war.

Now Come Back Alive and OKKO are raising UAH 500 million for the Air Assault Forces as part of the third joint project, OKO ZA OKO 3. The Air Assault Forces will receive 10 combat Pulstron combat systems worth UAH 50 million each. The Pullstrons will include attack and reconnaissance drones, transportation, communications, and everything necessary for control.
