Ukrainian Air Force receives unit operations centers from the donors

The Ukrainian Air Force has received 10 unit operations centers to strengthen its air defense capabilities.

The Come Back Alive Foundation donated them.

The unit operations centers were purchased with funds collected jointly with Kyivstar.

This was done within the framework of the joint project “We Live Here: Mobile Communication Systems for Air Defense.”

The total cost of the 10 units is UAH 86,703,379, of which:

• UAH 50,000,000 – Kyivstar’s contribution;
• UAH 21,240,061 raised by the operator’s subscribers through the Help for the Armed Forces Superpower and short charity numbers;
• UAH 15,463,318 – donations to the general accounts of the Come Back Alive Foundation from individuals and businesses.

The Foundation reported that the fighters of the Air Command “South” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine received the unit operations centers.

“The specially equipped trucks will be used to organize communication between air defense units covering Mykolaiv, Kherson, Odesa, and partially Dnipro, Kirovohrad, and Zaporizhzhia regions,” the Foundation noted.

Unit operations centers are specially equipped four-wheel drive trucks developed by the Come Back Alive Foundation and the Air Force Air Defense Forces.

The operations centers’ task is to coordinate work and organize communication between air defense units. As a command and control vehicle, they receive information about danger from the air and quickly transmit it to the combat unit.

The Foundation shared that each truck has three full-fledged workplaces and the equipment necessary to support air defense systems.

These include secure communication systems, computers with special software, monitors, cables, routers, and switches.

Previously, the soldiers of the Air Command “South” of the Ukrainian Air Force received 25 new pickup trucks from the Come Back Alive Foundation.
