There will be retribution! Foxtrot, together with the Ukrainians, assembled a drone for aerial reconnaissance
Thanks to the involvement of customers and employees of the Foxtrot network and the FOXTROT Group of Companies, who dedicated the collection to a fallen colleague, soldiers from the Foxtrot unit of the 80th ODSHB received a powerful device for performing combat tasks
The Foxtrot team, together with the "Kozak Drive" charity fund and caring Ukrainians, successfully closed the collection "For the Birds of Retribution", namely – for the DJI Mavic 3T Enterprise Thermal copter for the legendary 80th separate airborne assault brigade, where Oleg Markovich, the director of the Lviv Foxtrot served and died. His brothers are currently defending our lands on the front line, so they constantly need drones. This particular model is indispensable for conducting reconnaissance operations and adjusting combat tasks at any time of the day.
Foxtrot himself was one of the first to contribute to the unit's combat readiness, making the first contribution of UA 100,000. Active participation in the fundraising process was taken by interested buyers of equipment, as well as employees of the Foxtrot Group of Companies. The latter, in turn, made a joint contribution in the amount of UA 30,000. Thus, in one and a half months, we managed to collect the necessary amount – UA 232,000 and purchase the necessary device.
"Thank you to everyone who supported our initiative and joined the collection for our fighters. Together we did a good job! We believe that such a gift will make the work of our soldiers much easier, and the occupier will "fully" feel the powerful blows of just retribution," – noted Oleksiy Zozulya, CEO of the Foxtrot network.
At the beginning of September, the purchased quadcopter was handed over to a fighter from the Foxtrot division by the representatives of the retailer in Lviv – the head of retail sales group No. 7 of the chain Bohdan Butsa, the director of Foxtrot in the King Cross Leopolis shopping center Vasyl Dovgun and the store team. Starting next week, the drone will "serve" in the eastern direction, where heavy defensive and offensive operations are ongoing.
"Such indifference of Ukrainians and the involvement of the Foxtrot company is a significant support for our division and an important contribution to the victory. Because every donation or even a repost about the collection matters. As a result, we have a reliable assistant who will protect our military and prevent the enemy from advancing," – added Nazar Drevych, a fighter from the Foxtrot unit with the call sign "Sonik".
We will remind you that at the end of June, the Foxtrot chain of electronics and household appliances in partnership with the BF "KOZAK DRIVE" initiated a collection for justice – "On birds of revenge". The collection is named in memory of Oleg Markovych, the commander of the Foxtrot air reconnaissance unit he created as part of the 80th ODSHB, a former director of a store in Lviv. The hero died on April 26, 2023, while performing a combat mission in the Bakhmut direction. The company shared the desire of the defenders to take revenge on the enemy for the pain and losses caused, and also supported the desire to fight in memory of the courage of their fallen comrades. In addition, this year the company gave up a loud birthday celebration, and decided to use the saved funds to buy another drone for aerial reconnaissance from the Foxtrot unit of the 80th ODSHB.
The total value of the equipment that Foxtrot has already transferred to strengthen the Defense Forces of Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine is UAH 19 million. And the employees of the company defending Ukraine (#rotaFoxtrota) received technical assistance from Foxtrot for more than UAH 0.5 million to carry out their combat work or strengthen their units.
