The final batch of 22 anti-drones purchased with funds raised through the Radarom! crowdfunding campaign in Lithuania was delivered to Ukraine on Wednesday, Blue/Yellow said.
The Vilnius-based NGO said that 284 Brolis kits, consisting of night vision monoculars and laser sights, were also handed over to the troops, adding that another 303 night vision monoculars and laser sights have yet to be delivered,
“The generosity of the Lithuanian people and businesses in donating to Radarom has enabled us to save the lives of several Ukrainian soldiers, and this money stays in Lithuania because we chose Lithuanian suppliers,” Blue/Yellow Director Laura Paukštė said in a press release.
“I thank the manufacturers who worked tirelessly to speed up production so we could deliver as many kits as possible to the front,” she added.
The Radarom! campaign raised a total of 8.56 million euros, which were used to purchase 1,141 safe soldier kits.
The equipment in the kits is produced by Lithuania’s Brolis Semiconductors and NT Service. Each kit costs 7,500 euros.
The four-week crowdfunding campaign was organized by the public broadcaster LRT in cooperation with the organizations Blue/Yellow, Laisves TV (Freedom TV) and Stiprus Kartu (Stronger Together), and journalist Rita Miliute.
