The unit received everything it asked for in its letter. There are 100 RJ45 connectors instead of 90 because they are sold in packs. The antennas are Maple Wireless, as the soldiers asked: the act does not name the brand, but you can see it on the antenna labels in the photos below.
We closed the fundraiser on October 14. At the end of October we ordered everything from seven suppliers, on November 4 we put the set together at the foundation’s office, and on November 9 we handed it over to the unit. The total under the act is 115,532.50 ₴, which is 8,467.50 ₴ less than the fundraiser estimate (124,000 ₴). We saved the most on the antennas: 64,913 ₴ instead of 71,400 ₴.
Acceptance and transfer act No. 241 of November 9, 2026, Kyiv · 11 items · 115,532.50 ₴ · signed by both parties, with the seals of the foundation and the military unit. The commander’s surname, the signatures, the letter number and the phone number are hidden on the web copy for security reasons.
15 antennas of 9 dB and 11 directional patch antennas of 14 dB, exactly as many as the unit’s letter listed.
A compact satellite terminal: internet where there is no network.
Five-port 100 Mbps switches that connect several devices into one network.
200 metres of 5D-FB coaxial cable, 50 metres of FTP network cable, 40 SMA to RP SMA pigtails, a pack of RJ45 connectors, 60 pairs of XT30 connectors and 20 5.5×2.5 mm power connectors. In their video appeal, the soldiers called these parts for repairing drones.
The unit’s command asked the foundation for these items in writing. We opened the fundraiser on September 17 on the basis of this letter and handed over everything it listed.
On November 4 we put the full set together at the foundation’s office, and after the handover the sappers showed the same boxes on their side. This is how it looked.
