The Ukrainian Rapid Operational Response Unit received 10 tons of explosives

Soldiers of the Ukrainian Rapid Operational Response Unit received 10 tons of explosives and related equipment from Czech volunteers.

Dárek pro Putina, the Czech team of volunteers, announced this.

Dárek pro Putina transferred 10 tons of Black Dough explosives, which were purchased last July with funds raised by Czech citizens.

In addition to the explosives, the volunteers also donated 10,000 detonators and 10 kilometers of flash cord used for remote detonation.

The necessary equipment worth CZK 14 million, or about $600,000, was purchased specifically for the Ukrainian Rapid Operational Response Unit, whose officers operate on the front line.

The volunteers emphasize that such explosives are ideal for use by engineering units and special forces that need special explosives in a variety of shapes to perform precision demolition work to destroy unexploded ordnance or for other tasks.

The Czech ammunition manufacturer STV GROUP is the producer of the explosive known as Black Dough. The explosive is durable and powerful even for use underwater or in extreme temperature conditions.

In addition, it can also be useful for equipping ammunition for the FPV drones used by the unit.

Drones also pose an interest for volunteers. In December last year, volunteers and members of the Czech security forces founded the Group D association under the auspices of Karel Řehka, Chief of the General Staff of the Military of the Czech Republic, to launch a fundraiser for drones.

The Czech military and reserve soldiers have joined forces to raise $4.5 million as part of the Nemesis project for 10,000 FPV drones.

“The Russians have realized the importance of drones on the battlefield and are increasing their production during the war. They do it in prisons and schools. We understand that we need to react somehow,” Jan Veverka, investor and army reserve soldier, pointed out.

In addition, at the end of February, Czech billionaire Jan Barta donated $2 million for FPV drones for the Ukrainian military.
