The Come Back Alive Foundation, together with Ukrnafta, delivered 79 pickup trucks to the newly created anti-aircraft machine gun battalions.

The Come Back Alive Foundation announced this on social media.

More than UAH 70 million were spent on supplying mobile firing groups.

The Foundation emphasized that the new vehicles are about speed and mobility for the safety of Ukraine’s defenders and each of us.

“Cross-country pickup trucks are the most necessary thing on the battlefield and one of the most frequent requests from the Ukrainian Defense Forces, as they are the mainstay of the logistics of this war. And only new vehicles can provide an additional assurance that the vehicle will not fail at a crucial moment and will not require constant repairs,” the Come Back Alive Foundation noted.

This time, 79 pickup trucks will reinforce anti-aircraft machine gun battalions from Sumy, Poltava, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytsky, and Chernihiv.

The Foundation emphasized that this is only part of the comprehensive supply of newly created military units.

The total cost of the aid is UAH 70 million 807 thousand 841.32.

In January, the Come Back Alive Foundation used funds from Ukrnafta to provide equipment and vehicles to mobile AA fire teams of an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion of the Ukrainian military.

The military received pickup trucks, spotlights, thermal imaging optics, generators, and other equipment.

Mobile AA fire teams

Mobile AA fire groups are an important part of Ukraine’s air defense. Soldiers in off-road vehicles and trucks armed with machine guns, automatic cannons, and man-portable air defense systems ambush Russian kamikaze drones and cruise missiles that are firing at Ukrainian cities and strategic targets.

That’s why the units that defend Ukraine’s skies from the enemy need passable, fast, and maneuverable vehicles.
