The Ukrainian fleet of surface drones continues to grow. Subscribers of the online publication ‘Blyskavka’ collected funds for another device. It was called ‘Lightning’. The message was published on the Instagram account of the UNITED24 platform, which is raising funds for the creation of a fleet of maritime drones.

The message states that the Ukrainian army will receive new drones in the new year. Subscribers of the online publication ‘Molniya’ collected money for one more device. The drone they bought received a symbolic name.
The New Year collection was announced by subscribers last December. They managed to collect more than 10 million hryvnias. The funds were transferred to a special account of the NBU, which is used to finance the ‘Fleet of Maritime Drones’ project. A nationwide fundraiser for UNITED24 was launched in November. On this occasion, Volodymyr Zelenskyi noted that naval drones will be used by the Armed Forces to protect Ukrainian cities from Russian missiles launched from ships.
