This time we purchased and delivered 7 cars in the 4th and 5th wave.

On projects #4 & #5 were spent £40,550 of which your donations are £5,130 and our personal contribution is £1,950

Let's go into some more details

  • #15 Ford Ranger - Price: £4800. It was a long haul handover to the 92nd brigade near Izum city for ATGM (anti-tank guided missile). This very decent car sunk after only a few kilometers. Turned out to it had some issues and we spend one month to repair several things including the engine and cooling system. We spend £1600 of your donations for this car.



  • #16 L200 - Price: £5200 That's a diamond of our procurement! We got this car from a retired sniper of her majesty's armed forces. It was sold exclusively to transfer to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and fully prepared for off-road use. It's protecting our Balaklia now.



  • #17 Navara - Price: £5000 for SSO (Special Operations Forces of Ukraine) air reconnaissance unit to work alongside artillery (detecting and transferring enemy coordinates etc)



  • #20 Pajero Sport - Price: £4250 This car is already in service at the 73rd Special Operations Centre



  • #21 Land Cruiser - Price: £4850 We delivered this car for 80 brigade that defending our South. Car was painted and sent to the front.



In a few days we sent another batch #5 with 2 cars.

  • #19 Delica - Price: £4150 This car left London on her own :) due to not fitting the car carrier truck. It is now being booked and sent to the front as a first evacuation ambulance vehicle for the 80th brigade in the South.



  • #22 Hilux - Price: £4500 Pickup went to 24 OMBR to protect the Popasna region, it's very hot right now there. Important to note that £1100 was spent on this car from your donations!



Cost of logistics

  • £ 3900 we spent on transportation for 5 cars London-Ukraine border

  • Car carrier truck costs £900 on #22 Hilux to Lviv,

  • Transportation of #19 Delica was about £ 300

  • £ 750 we spent on repair of #15 Ford Ranger

Transportation and fuel were partially closed with their own funds.

Knowing about the fuel crisis, since delivery #4 all the cars go with a full tank!

Important to note that delivery #6 is already at the border and waiting in line crossing (5 cars), so next post is coming soon :)


Traditionally big thanks to our team (we have grown up!) and people who support us, Ukrainian volunteers and of course our warriors!





Everything will be Ukraine! 💙💛
