An electronics lab for the 411th UAV Brigade
In spring 2026 the 411th UAV Brigade asked us to equip a new electronics lab to build and repair drone components. The list ran to 29 items, from a trinocular microscope and soldering stations to fume extractors, oscilloscopes, a battery spot welder and hundreds of metres of wire, ₴203,722 (about US$4,600) in all.
You helped us buy every item on it, and the whole batch reached the brigade on May 20, 2026.
