“Kikimora” camouflage (ghillie suits)

To successfully complete a mission, it’s crucial to spot the enemy before they spot you. That’s why camouflage has long been used by the military. For snipers and scouts, personal concealment is absolutely vital. Helping our soldiers stay hidden are ghillie suits and sniper cloaks—both designed to make the wearer blend into the landscape so well that the enemy’s eye simply can’t detect them.

We regularly receive requests for camouflage gear. To create just one ghillie suit, we need 3 people working over 3 days—or 10 people who can complete it in a single day. It’s a labor-intensive process, but we have several dedicated hubs where our volunteers tirelessly weave these life-saving suits for our defenders.

Helping Uman Air Defense Brigade

We do everything necessary to support the Air Defense Forces who protect us from relentless Russian bombardment. Across the country and near the front lines, air defense systems are prime targets for the enemy—because they are what intercept the missiles, Shaheds, and enemy drones trying to destroy our communities and critical infrastructure.

That’s why we supply them with generators, power stations, crank machines for loading and unloading machine gun belts, vehicles, spotlights for mobile fire teams, and any other equipment they may urgently need.

Essential medications for soldiers and hospitals

Access to quality medication, timely medical assistance, and professional knowledge is critical for providing healthcare to civilians—and especially to military personnel.

The top priority of our medical support team is the continuous assessment of the medical needs of soldiers in combat zones, as well as those undergoing outpatient treatment.

We closely monitor hospitals and work directly with military brigades to understand and respond to their needs. We also raise funds for wounded service members, including those who have lost limbs, and support their rehabilitation and access to prosthetics.

Special Anti-Drone Defence Nets

Drones have become one of the most effective tools of modern warfare. Their primary missions is reconnaissance, cargo delivery, and striking transport and energy infrastructure — exactly the tactics the aggressor state uses against us.

In addition to acoustic detection systems, thermal imagers, radiofrequency sensors, and searchlights, we now have net-based interception systems capable of capturing drones mid-air. We brought together specialists and scientists who deeply explored anti-drone technologies and successfully developed a device that uses propeller-based mechanisms to launch nets and neutralize UAVs. This invention is proving to be an effective tool in countering enemy drones.
