Fifteen Viktor air defence systems are being shipped from the Czech Republic to Ukraine. The money for them was raised by volunteers as part of the "Gift to Putin" initiative, Militarnyy writes.
Czech volunteers managed to raise CZK 90 million.
"It's time to say goodbye. 15 anti-drone systems MR-2 Viktor, for which we have raised 90 million from you, are being sent to the front. May the Ukrainian military shoot accurately, and take care," the volunteers wrote.
Přišel čas se rozloučit. 🫡 15 protidronových systémů MR-2 Viktor na které jsme od Vás před Vánoci vybrali 90 milionů odjíždí na frontu. Ať Vám to na Ukrajině přesně střílí kluci, opatrujte se, brzo za Vámi pošleme raketomet Přemysl. https://t.co/RyCyPqJczC Držíme palce 🇺🇦🇨🇿❤️ pic.twitter.com/I6ZjxipLPz
