"Seventh month of the full-scale war in a row. No matter what anyone says, Ukraine keeps receiving support from people worldwide. Moreover, the real movie legends, Barbra Streisand and Mark Hamill, help us too," says the Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, Mykhailo Fedorov." The Star Wars franchise actor became the first ambassador for the Army of Drones. After that, we received messages from people who donated towards defense for the first time. They wrote to us that they realized they’ve already been a part of the ongoing fight on the side of truth, on the side of Ukraine, and now they’re ready to take the responsibility"
In addition to the star ambassadors, the Army of Drones has been strengthened by new purchases, including 10 durable PENGUIN C-MIL Mk 2 UAS. As a result, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will receive UAVs that can fly for 25 hours under any weather conditions. In addition to that, in September, the first 20 Warmate drones purchased as part of the Monobank fundraising were transferred to the frontline.
