The masters of the DIU's special unit, "Group 13," have received five new Magura V5 maritime strike drones.
Thanks to "Magura," the intelligence officers inflicted losses on the russian occupants amounting to more than $500 million. They allowed Ukrainian ships to continue commercial shipping in the Black Sea.
"So far, this is the only drone in the world that has sunk a warship. We have sunk nine such targets. More targets are waiting for their turn. We will get to them too. [...] My team and I are grateful to everyone who contributed to the collection. You can be sure that these drones will be used successfully," said Thirteen, commander of the Group 13 unit.
The modern weapons, which have already proved their effectiveness during the war against russian occupants in the Black Sea, were purchased at the expense of contributions from Ukrainians who joined an extensive charity campaign conducted by the Diana Podolianchuk Foundation with the assistance of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.
"First of all, we would like to thank the viewers and the "United News" marathon team who became such a founder of this campaign. After that, various teams began to join the charity project - TV channels, music bands, businessmen, bloggers, and athletes. And we succeeded! We want these drones to become easy for our scouts to operate and cause serious consequences for the occupiers," said Diana Podolianchuk, head of the charity foundation.
The initiative was joined by the following:
We are grateful to everyone who took part — Ukrainian citizens, representatives of creative industries, businesspeople, and everyone who showed indifference and helped the military intelligence officers become stronger in the fight against russian invaders.
Glory to Ukraine!
