"People's Bayraktar" initiative: video published of attack UAVs attacking Russian tanks
A video has been posted on YouTube showing Turkish Bayraktar attack drones, for which Ukrainians raised funds in the summer, killing Russian occupiers and destroying their equipment at the contact line.
Source: The YouTube channel of Serhii Prytula, TV presenter and volunteer
Details: According to Prytula, the video shows the work of the drones with call signs Triastsia [the Ukrainian equivalent for "shaking," it is often used as part of an obscene expression - ed. ], Kovinka [in Ukrainian, this means a carved stick, or walking stick; a component of the Ukrainian national costume - ed. ] and Khalepa [in Ukrainian, this means misfortune - ed.].
Updated at 23:57 local time: Prytula deleted the video from his social media.
Background:
- These three drones were donated by the Turkish manufacturer Baykar Makina to the Armed Forces of Ukraine after the fundraising campaign of the Prytula Charitable Foundation, which lasted three days in June. Almost 3 million people made over 1.3 million transactions, raising UAH 600 million [approximatelyUS $16 million - ed.].
- Prytula named the "People’s Bayraktar" Triastsia, Kovinka and Khalepa.
- The funds raised were spent on the purchase of a satellite for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
