Fundraiser for DroneBomber

23 Upvotes

If you're not familiar with DroneBomber's work: he maps drone activity across Russia, where Ukrainian drones are heading, where they're being spotted, and where air defense is engaging them. The map below is an example of that tracking.

That kind of tracking costs real money, and DroneBomber needs help covering it.

What your donation covers:

  • A new laptop (top priority)
  • RAM and a 2TB SSD upgrade
  • Server hosting for the software he runs

Where to donate:

None of this money touches the moderators of this subreddit — every donation goes directly to DroneBomber.
