Lviv region transferred 450 FPV drones for the needs of the Defense Forces

The Lviv region donated 450 FPV drones to the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

Maksym Kozytskyi, head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, announced this.

The funds for the purchase of these drones were raised jointly with the Birds of Victory charity project and the Codelions for Ukraine charity organization.

This procurement enabled the Ukrainian Defense Forces to equip some units with additional munitions for use against enemy targets.

Within this transfer, the 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after King Daniel, the 77th Airmobile Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces, the 420th Rifle Battalion, the International Legion, the Unmanned Strike Aviation Systems Battalion “Achilles” of the 92nd Assault Brigade “Ivan Sirko,” and the Unmanned Strike Aviation Systems Battalion “Raróh” of the 24th Mechanized Brigade received the drones.

Additionally, the 80th Separate Galician Air Assault Brigade, the 2nd Mechanized Battalion “K-2” of the 54th Mechanized Brigade, the Special Group “Alpha,” the 41st Mechanized Brigade, the 3rd Assault Brigade, and the 116th Mechanized Brigade received the drones.

To date, the 10,000th drone has been delivered to the Ukrainian Defense Forces as part of the Birds of Victory charity project.

In total, the project has already raised UAH 218 million and delivered almost 10,500 drones to the soldiers.

This number of donated drones is a record among charitable projects in Ukraine.

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Lviv region has been actively supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine and raising funds to purchase necessary equipment for the military on the front line.

Militarnyi previously reported that as part of the Lion’s Revenge initiative, the Lviv city community donated 1500 additional FPV drones and other equipment to Ukrainian defenders.

The military received three electronic warfare systems to protect their positions from enemy FPV drones and reconnaissance drones.
