Every day, Ukroboronprom state-owned military enterprise receives inquiries from scientists and startups that offer their developments and inventions to strengthen the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukroboronprom and the Ukrainian Startup Fund, together with the government, will provide grants of up to USD 35,000 for dual-use projects. They say they should either help increase the country’s defense capabilities or its rapid post-war reconstruction. In particular, they are ready to finance cybersecurity.

Monobank, together with the UNITED24 initiative of the president of Ukraine, is raising USD 2 million to buy two Warmate combat drones and 40 kamikaze drones.

Warmate is a very smart and well-equipped system with kamikaze drones that are able to hit targets deep in the enemy’s rear.

There will be a drawing for the chance to write personal messages to the russians. 40 people among those, who donated money for the drones, will have their messages written on kamikaze drones! Moreover, the UNITED24 team will not only write on the drones, but also send a person a photo of their message being delivered to the enemy.

The Ukrainian Army is using “anti-drone guns” successfully to neutralize enemy recon quadrocopters used to adjust artillery fire with “anti-drone guns.” The gun is manufactured by a Ukrainian company. The device uses radio interference to down the drones. Antennae aim the signal in the required direction, covering frequencies used by 99% of commercial and tactical drones. Once in the gun coverage area, the drone loses connection to the satellite or control panel. The image disappears as well because the drone can no longer film photos and video footage.

In some respects, this product is better than similar Western C-UAV equipment procured by Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense in 2021.
