One trip and 5 brigades. One trip and 25 Starlinks. One trip and many hundreds of thousands of hryvnias. One trip and several happy chiefs of communications...
We purchased 100 Starlink systems, considering it a "big" purchase. Yes, it's several million hryvnias, half of which is from Petro Poroshenko and the other half is yours. Yes, it is a big purchase in terms of money.
But if you do the math...
Even if it is minimal, each company needs one Starlink. This is 3 per battalion, 20-25 per brigade. This is ONLY for communication and tasks of the company commander. But if he has UAVs, he needs more. If he has separate platoons, they need separate ones. And then there is the brigade's reconnaissance, and then there is the brigade's artillery and mortars. 100-120 per brigade.
Yes, the brigades receive a little bit of money from the Defense Ministry. Not everything, not on time, not much. And the tasks that require communication are here and now, they cannot wait.
We have purchased 100 Starlinks, but we realize that they will run out this week. The supplier has more, but we no longer have the budget for it. And the military... well, they are sighing, hoping for a miracle.
Can you help?
