NGO Sprava Hromad plans to hand over 10 mobile repair stations to the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The foundation’s press service announced this on its social media pages.

Volunteer Yurii Biriukov, who is involved in this project, said that currently, there are plans to prepare 10 battalion mobile repair stations. The approximate total value of the project is UAH 10 million.

It took two months to equip the vehicles, during which tools, special equipment and furniture were purchased. According to the volunteer, everything necessary has already been bought and received.

Ten DAF 45.150 trucks were chosen as a platform for mobile repair stations, which were purchased by the Fund and repaired in Ukraine.

Each vehicle was equipped with a compressor, gas welding equipment, a lathe for turning simple parts, a set of tools, and a generator to provide power for all these systems.

According to volunteers, the Armed Forces of Ukraine is currently experiencing a severe shortage of repair equipment because the Ministry of Defense is unable to purchase it. 70% of all needs are covered by the repairmen themselves with their salaries, and volunteers bring the rest.

“The equipment breaks down. It breaks both in the rear and at the front. It breaks even when it is new, and how it breaks when the equipment is old – well, it’s not for me to explain. And it needs to be fixed. We need to do it quickly, here and now, near the battlefield. Weld what was broken, sharpen the necessary, unscrew and twist, and then tighten everything with blue duct tape,” Biriukov said.

The Ukrainian military previously received two H10 Poseidon Mk II drones worth UAH 30,509,214 from the NGO Sprava Hromad.

Two systems, which include a total of six drones, two additional aircraft, and command post vehicles were transferred to the units of several brigades and will strengthen the capabilities of Ukrainian artillery.

Swarmly H10 Poseidon Mk II drones have an operational range of up to 150 kilometers at an altitude of up to 4000 meters. Its cruising speed is 75 km/h. They are equipped with EW protection and have Israeli optics and a thermal imaging camera.
