COMMUNICATION IS KEY.

This is not just a tired trope, but also an opinion widely held by Ukrainian military personnel and volunteers who work close to the frontlines. Enablers like communication equipment are crucial in modern warfare and provide good value, especially when they enable expensive equipment like helicopters and highly trained personnel.

We were a small part of the fundraising campaign to equip five army aviation brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with non-lethal communication kits. Most of the funding went towards buying 165 communication kits for ground-based air coordinators. Capable communication equipment will allow air coordinators to keep themselves and their helicopter crews safer in the contested airspace of Ukraine and will lead to higher mission success rates. Among other things, this means faster casualty evacuation and more lives saved.

Our donation helped to procure 5 EW sets that allow air coordinators to detect drones and stay safe.
