Why remote controls specifically, rather than goggles or video receivers, as in the example on the fundraising page? We warned right away: we’ll finalize the exact list before making the purchase, because drone components change very quickly. At the time of the unit’s purchase, control equipment was what was most in short supply—so that’s what we bought.

What the “Scythian Griffins” Received Under Act No. 235

RadioMaster Boxer ELRS M2 radio controller · 11 units

A remote control used by the pilot to operate the drone. It operates on the ExpressLRS protocol, which provides stable communication with the drone over longer ranges and with lower latency. One remote control means one pilot in the sky.

Letter of Appeal from Military Unit A5049 No. 1995 dated July 14, 2026

The battalion command sent a written request to the foundation: the need for drone components is urgent and ongoing, as the use of these systems is systematic in nature and requires replenishment. The fundraiser was launched based on this letter.

You are the ones who made this happen

Three hundred sixty-four people chipped in for this fundraiser. Every contribution went toward the remote control that’s now in the hands of a pilot in the Zaporizhzhia region. Thank you for standing with us—and for your trust.

There are units nearby who are waiting just as eagerly. Your next contribution will once again become specific equipment—with the same report and receipt.

Questions & answers

How many people participated in the fundraiser?
364 people made 398 donations. The most common donation amount was 200 ₴. The fundraiser ran from July 22 to August 5, 2026.
What was given to the “Scythian Griffins”?
11 RadioMaster Boxer ELRS M2 radio controllers—drone control units—for 99,000 ₴ (9,000 ₴ each), pursuant to Acceptance and Transfer Certificate No. 235 dated September 15, 2026, signed in Zaporizhzhia.
Why were the remote controls included in the donation list instead of the glasses and video receivers?
On the fundraising page, those items were listed as examples of a typical purchase, not as a fixed list: we made it clear from the start that we would finalize the exact composition before making the purchase. Drone components change rapidly, so we purchased what the unit needed most at the time of the purchase—control equipment.
Who are the “Scythian Griffins”?
This is the 423rd Separate Unmanned Systems Battalion, military unit A5049. The unit carries out combat missions in the Zaporizhzhia sector and operates drones. The Foundation works with it directly, without intermediaries.
Is the “International Unity Movement” foundation trustworthy, and is it safe to donate to it?
Yes. The Foundation (EDRPOU 44797809) has been working directly with units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine since 2022 and publishes a report with supporting documents for each fundraiser. This fundraising campaign was launched based on an official letter from the military unit, and the transfer was confirmed by Acceptance and Transfer Act No. 235 dated September 15, 2026, bearing the signatures and seals of both parties.
Can this report be trusted?
Yes. The basis for the transfer was a letter from Military Unit A5049, No. 1995, dated July 14, 2026; the transfer itself was documented by Signed Act No. 235, dated September 15, 2026. The unit confirmed receipt of the equipment via a video message, which can be viewed on this page.
