"We are grateful to our powerful driver community, which has actively joined the initiative. There are already actually eight complexes for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, our goal is to accumulate funds for ten SHARK by the end of the year. We decided to make our additional contribution to the project and transfer to SHARK another UAH 5 million," OKKO CEO Vasyl Danyliak said.
"The SHARK reconnaissance complexes are waiting at the forefront. We are grateful to the partners for the common project and thank everyone who supports it by refueling PULLS in the OKKO filling station network, or transferring funds to our separate account "Eye for an Eye". Together we do not just accumulate funds. We systematically cover the needs of aerial reconnaissance officers, because each reconnaissance complex consists of three brigade-level drones, a launcher and a specially equipped vehicle-command control post," director of the fund Taras Chmut said.
