The Come Back Alive Foundation has shown that one of the components of the Black Box project for Ukrainian military intelligence, for which Ukrainians raised over UAH 230 million (about US$6.3 million) in 2022, is a Ukrainian long-range barrage projectile.

The foundation noted that this is not the only component of the "box", but this is what can be announced as of now.

Reportedly, the "box" has caused over US$900 million in damage to Russians within the first eight months of 2023. Bober was successfully performing missions in Crimea, in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and striking military facilities in Russian territory.

For instance, Black Box has struck an important Russian military industry enterprise, a plant for the production of electronics for Kh-31, Kh-35 and Kh-59 missiles, which are launched from tactical aircraft.

Bober has also struck a storage facility where missile components for Iskander ballistic missile systems were stored.

Quote from Come Back Alive Foundation: "We will use the UAH 15 million (about US$395,778) raised to buy vehicles with components for Kolibri [a callsign of a special forces soldier - ed.] and other soldiers who work with Black Box. The vehicles will increase the mobility of special units and will allow them to attack the occupiers in Crimea, in the temporarily occupied territories and on the other side of the border more efficiently."
