In Czech Republic, with support of Army Commander-in-Chief Rzekhk 10 thousand FPV drones will be purchased for AFU, - media
Czech philanthropists, military and reservists founded the Group D association under the leadership of the Czech Army Commander-in-Chief Karel Rzhekhk to raise funds and to purchase 10 thousand FPV drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
It is reported by the Czech edition iROZHLAS, Censor.NET informs.
It is noted that Czech philanthropists, military and reservists have joined forces to purchase 10,000 FPV drones for the Ukrainian military as part of the Nemesis project.
"The Russians have realized the importance of drones on the battlefield and are increasing their production during the war. They do it in prisons and schools. We understand that we need to respond somehow," says investor and army reserve soldier Jan Veverka.
In the coming days, the association will launch a public fundraiser called Nemesis, during which it plans to raise about one hundred million kronor, which is equivalent to $4.5 million.
According to Rzekhk, this is not the only collection in the Czech Republic to help Ukraine, but Group D's initiative is unique because it knows exactly what the Ukrainian army needs most and where it needs it most, thanks to its military.
"Because the association has connections with people in the army and active reserve, it is able to make a good assessment of what can really have a strategic impact. And drones are one of the cases," the Czech army chief explained.
The commander-in-chief of the Czech army noted that the project participants will make efforts to ensure that the drones are produced taking into account the knowledge and wishes received from Ukraine.
In addition, the association can also check how the selected drones are resistant to EW signals.
According to Rzekhk, the formation of the association is also beneficial for the Czech army, as, like when Ukrainian soldiers are trained in the Czech Republic, it will also be able to acquire knowledge gained from the Russian-Ukrainian war.
"Our Ukrainian partners are ready to share all their experience with us, organize professional seminars with us, and provide us with invaluable information. It's just that no one gives you this. And if you give someone several thousand drones, it also has an effect," Rzekhk added.
