Petro Poroshenko handed over 5 "Poseidon" UAV complexes and mobile control centers to the military. These are 15 drones and specially equipped kungs based on DAF trucks.
Poroshenko explains: in this way, unique opportunities are created for pilots, operators, gunners, scouts, and commanders. Interaction through a secure communication system with artillery points makes it possible to make the combat use of artillery as effective as possible, the ES press service reports, Censor.NET reports.
In the training center that trains drone operators, the training course has ended, so the complexes are sent to the brigades together with trained people. Different drones fly here, but according to the military, the Poseidon "bird" is really cool, and mobile complexes provide fast movement. "We made three sorties every day, both during the day and at night, and in not very good weather. This bird is very cool, because it has the ability to take off vertically, sit vertically and fly further than other planes and more in time. It has one advantage ", says the soldier.
"It's convenient that there is a place where you can fold them and calmly move from point to point. Great clearance - I'm sure it won't get stuck anywhere," the fighter explains the advantages of the mobile control center.
The amount of this batch of equipment exceeds 75 million hryvnias. The project is implemented jointly by the Poroshenko Foundation and Sprava Gromad CO.
"We are motivated by the belief in victory and the belief in our counteroffensive. The Armed Forces, which we have created since 2014, have an obvious tactical, strategic, and operational advantage over the Russians, which are based on the standards of the Soviet army. And the motivation of the Ukrainian soldiers, who protect their own families, their own people, their own land, is simply incomparable to the motivation of Russian thugs, Wagnerians and other inhumans and bandits," the fifth President is convinced.
"You can't remain calm when you see footage from Uman, where civilians were killed by Russian inhumans. Footage from the Kyiv region, footage from the Dnipro, from other cities of Ukraine. And we definitely won't forget it. We definitely won't forgive," says Poroshenko. .
"We are doing everything 24 hours a day in order to bring our victory, which we believe in and have no doubt," Petro Poroshenko emphasizes.
As you know, on August 16, 2022, Petro Poroshenko announced a major deal with Poseidon UAV manufacturers. UAVs have a range of up to 150 kilometers, a height of up to 4,000 meters. This is a complex of the level of a reconnaissance battalion, which works for the benefit of all brigades of the area of responsibility, reconnaissance and guidance of artillery, adjustment of fire of large calibers.
"We are buying the entire batch of these drones, which are supposed to be the eyes of our artillery, so that every strike on the enemy is as effective as possible," Petro Poroshenko explained. He also informed that the program was called "Arty's Eyes".
On January 14, Petro Poroshenko handed over to the troops three "Poseidon" UAV complexes and mobile control points, which are made on the chassis of a British DAF truck. "This is an innovative development that was invented by the technicians of Spravy Gromad. Inside the machines, there is absolutely everything to deploy and destroy the enemy. And this is what the military needed for effective work - so that Russia would burn in hell," Poroshenko emphasizes.
Currently, the Poroshenko Foundation is implementing a contract for the supply of more than 20 complexes (65 "birds") with volunteers.
