Recently, there was another attack on Kyiv by Iranian drones. We are afraid to be wrong about the exact numbers, but it seems that there were several dozen Shahedis. At the same time, we remember for sure that Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners shot down every single one of them. That's why we are so sensitive to requests from air defense, regardless of the type of troops - for us, there is no difference between TROs or air defense units.
And the anti-aircraft gunners asked for it... The ones who defend the sky over Kyiv from the south.
There are two ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft systems in this battalion, a reliable and effective piece of equipment. But it is boring and inconvenient to put it on a pickup truck, and it is not so boring to haul it as a trailer to a truck, but still inconvenient. And we have the experience, we have the resources, we have our own service station, we have you who pay half the bills, and Petro Poroshenko who pays the other half. Now the battalion has two supermobile firing points.
We often write about Leyland DAF, it's true. But there are many objective reasons for this. There is a shortage of trucks in the army, the excellent characteristics of DAFs themselves, and the skillful hands of our mechanics.
And the amount of aid, the number of trucks to be transferred, depends only on you. It's a bitter truth, because Yuriy Biryukov's personal feed has turned into an endless list of posts with details. But there is no other way - we know what, we know how, but without your help nothing will happen. Are all the brigades and battalions asking for trucks?
And yes, reposting is also a help!
