OKKO and the «Come Back Alive» Foundation handed over 25 SHARK reconnaissance complexes to the Armed Forces as part of the «Eye for an Eye» initiative

The Ukrainian OKKO filling station network and the Come Back Alive Foundation have successfully completed the transfer of 25 ShARK reconnaissance unmanned systems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine as part of the joint initiative "Eye for an Eye". All of these systems have already been sent to the front line, and the last three were delivered on September 11.

This was reported by the OKKO press service.

"Sharky" has already demonstrated its important role at the front line, thanks to their work the enemy suffered significant losses in both military personnel and equipment. One of the 25 reconnaissance systems helped destroy 5 Buk anti-aircraft missile systems, a Grad multiple rocket launcher system, as well as a number of artillery systems and howitzers in the Zaporizhzhia sector. In addition, for the first time in the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Shark's radar combat system Svet-KU and the enemy's Yastrub AV radar were destroyed. Other positions that were attacked using these systems included Pole-21, Zoo-1M, Leer-2, and numerous artillery and armored vehicles.

"The SHARKY systems were transferred to artillery brigades and reconnaissance battalions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that are taking part in the war. In addition, 4 systems were delivered to the Marines, 3 systems to mechanized brigades, 2 to the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, and 1 to the technical intelligence unit of a training center operating at the front. One of the complexes played an important role in the summer offensive campaign and was transferred to a separate reconnaissance company that successfully operated in the Zaporizhzhia sector.

"This transfer of equipment is a very effective investment in victory. UAH 325 million was spent to purchase the systems, but they have already helped destroy enemy equipment worth several billion hryvnias. And they continue to be in operation on the front line," said Vasyl Danyliak, Chairman of the OKKO Management Board. - "Our OKKO filling station network allocated UAH 1 from each liter of Pulls branded fuel sold to purchase this equipment, and now we call this fuel the 'fuel of revenge'. We always have something to be proud of, and we never cease to express our gratitude to all Ukrainians who joined our initiative."

"25 Shark reconnaissance systems have already proven their effectiveness at the front line. Due to their long range and flight duration, they detect and eliminate enemy positions such as anti-aircraft missile systems, multiple launch rocket systems, radar stations, electronic warfare and reconnaissance systems. This is extremely important to support our artillery and the armed forces in general," said Taras Chmut, director of the Come Back Alive Foundation.

This transfer of reconnaissance equipment from OKKO and the Come Back Alive Foundation will significantly increase the efficiency and security of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the fight against aggression in the east of the country and help in deterring hostile actions.
