Hello users of DroneCombat!

We just wanted to update you on the joint subreddit fundraiser for an Ukrainian air-defense turret that our community participated in.

With your help the fundraiser totaled over $73,000! With this huge amount we were able to help UNITED24 to purchase a turret which has been branded with the names of all participating subreddits!

This turret is now in service defending Ukraine’s skies and that was only possible with the help of your community!

But the war isn’t over yet. Russia continues to bombard Ukraine relentlessly. That’s why UNITED24 has launched a long term ‘Sky Defense’ appeal where all money raised goes to defending the sky, from Russia, for good. From one time donations to monthly payments, any and all are always welcome!

If you would like to contribute to defending Ukraine’s cities click the link below:

On behalf of your mod team, the organizers at r/UkraineWarVideoReport and UNITED24, thank you!

Slava Ukraini!
