Adopt a Drone
Ukraine urgently needs more of everything. That includes commercially available equipment that ordinary citizens of the world like us can get for them. One thing the Ukrainian army needs, for example, is more off-the-shelf drones that ground forces use to locate and improve targeting against invaders. The challenge is understanding which ones are currently most required, sourcing them, pooling donations to bulk buy them at a decent price from generous Ukraine-supporting retailers, and then delivering them to the Ukrainian Army. But we do that bit. We just need more money to do it more.
We’re based in Estonia and partnered with Lift99, a coworking space in Tallinn and Kyiv that is involved in organising regular convoys between Estonia and Ukraine under the initiative of entrepreneur Ragnar Sass. (He cofounded the unicorn startup Pipedrive). This network allows us to both continuously understand the evolving requirements for commercial drones from Ukrainian Army units and deliver to them. We are currently sourcing drones from droon.ee, which has provided generous support, but we are also mapping additional supply chain options.
United Delivery Mission
Why we do it:
• Ukrainian Army is fighting bravely against the Russian aggression
that threatens the European values and peace as we know them.
• We supply the Ukrainian Army troops at the frontline with
vehicles and tactical equipment according to their requests.
• This support is essential as many of the troops have suffered losses
of equipment and central supply can be slow and limited.
• Providing reliable vehicles increases the tactical mobility of the
Ukrainian soldiers that is essential for surveillance, counter attacks,
supply, evacuation and other operations.
• The war is very resource consuming and the result may be defined
by small details. Based on the feedback from the Ukrainian soldiers we
believe that our initiative matters.
MTÜ AITAN KAITSTA – VARJEVÕRGUD UKRAINA KAITSJATELE
Kolm nädalat pärast Venemaa massiivse sõjalise rünnaku algust Ukrainas loodi kodanikuühendus Aitan
Kaitsta. Grupi eestvedamisel hakkasid vabatahtlikud valmistama kamuflaažvõrke Ukraina kaitsjatele. Suurtes ja
väikestes Eesti asulates on valminud kokku üle üheksa korvpalliväljaku jagu varjevõrke, mis jõuavad järjest
Ukrainasse ühenduse partnerite MTÜ Slava Ukraini ja MTÜ United Delivery Mission abil. Saame pidevat
kinnitust, et meie töö on oluline!
Ootame rahalisi annetusi, mis võimaldavad MTÜ-l:
– korraldada paremini töötubasid
– korraldada paremini teavitustööd
– katta transpordikulusid
– katta tarvikute ja lisamaterjalide ostmise kulusid
Ettevõtmise tuumikgrupp on jätkuvas ühenduses Ukrainaga, uurib tehnoloogiaid ja edastab vabatahtlike
võrgustikule juhiseid, kuidas saavutada parimat tulemust. Ühendust on moraalselt ja nõuannetega toetanud ka
militaarvaldkonna asjatundjad riiklikest ja erastruktuuridest.
MTÜ Aitan Kaitsta tegevuse üks külg on käegakatsutav tulemus, mis jõuab abivajajateni nii Ukraina tagalas kui
lahingutsoonides. Teine pool on võimalus, mis antakse Eesti inimestele ja Ukraina sõjapõgenikele – varjevõrkude
valmistamine on väga konkreetse vajaduse katteks valmiv ühislooming, mis maandab stressi, toetab vaimu ja
pakub lohutust.
Ühendus kutsub liituma võrkude valmistamise aktsiooniga, mille kohta leiab lisainfot üle 2600 inimest koondavast
Facebooki grupist AITAN KAITSTA. Lisaks soovitab ühendus annetada kohalikele tegijatele nii
kamuflaažtoonides kangaid kui mõrralina, mis on võrkude tegemiseks parim alusmaterjal.
