The Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation has handed over to the Ukrainian military 343 Darts kamikaze drones purchased as part of the “Hit the Bullseye” fundraising campaign.

The Foundation reported on this on its Facebook page.

It is reported that these drones have already been delivered to the units and are helping them in the fight against the enemy.

Funds for purchasing these drones were raised through the “Hit the Bullseye” campaign, which ran until October 8, 2024, along with individual contributions from private companies and the public.

The foundation has stated that the main advantages of these drones are their ability to destroy invaders and equipment at a distance of 40–60 km, depending on the combat load.

It is also noted that these kamikaze drones are equipped with a targeting system and are stable under enemy electronic warfare (EW) equipment.

At the start of the campaign, it was stated that the cost of one UAV was UAH 39,000.

Darts drones

These loitering munitions by the Ukrainian manufacturer travel at a speed of 160 km per hour and can be equipped with a warhead weighing 3.5–4 kilograms.

According to open sources, the Darts drone has a wingspan of 1.9 meters and a fuselage length of 1.5 meters. The drone is equipped with a single engine. The drone’s fuselage can withstand numerous hits from small arms.

In early October 2024, the Security Service of Ukraine received a batch of Darts attack drones thanks to a donation from Ukrtransbezpeka employees.

Employees of the State Service of Ukraine for Transport Safety transferred part of their monthly salary in the amount of UAH 546,000 to the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation.

The Foundation used the money to purchase Ukrainian-made Darts kamikaze drones, which were later transferred to the SSU.
