Support the fundraiser to purchase fifty ambulances for Ukraine!

We will not be buying new vehicles. One of the brigade commanders near Kharkiv recently told us: “God save us from cars full of electronics.” It’s simple – the more electronics, the higher the risk of breakdown. In addition, some types of “radars” make these cars “light up” more than others.

“I need my boys to be able to fix a car with wire and a hammer,” the commander said. We have received requests from specific units specifying exact makes and years of production. It only makes sense to bring to Ukraine cars that local mechanics know, have spare parts for, and can repair even in field conditions. That is why we will buy older models of Mitsubishi L200, Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, and VW Amarok.

We want to buy vehicles that can handle off-road driving without difficulty. Pick-up trucks with a loading bed that medics can use to quickly place a wounded soldier and together cover 5–10 critical kilometers from the frontline. We will also purchase a few standard ambulances suitable for transporting the wounded from field hospitals to regular ones.

We do not plan to paint the vehicles in a uniform military color – quite the opposite. Every green, olive, or khaki car becomes a direct target. The more civilian the color, the better the camouflage.

The purchase of vehicles will take place in various locations across Europe. A specialized team of technicians takes care of everything: they thoroughly inspect each vehicle on-site and negotiate a better price. All cars will then undergo a service inspection focused mainly on the engine, brakes, lights, and tires. We don’t care about how the cars look or what extra features they have. However, we will equip all of them with a tow hitch.

After servicing, the vehicles will be stored in a guarded parking lot. We don’t yet know exactly when we will transport them to Ukraine – maybe at the beginning or end of the year, maybe sooner, maybe later. It depends on many circumstances. Above all, it depends on how quickly we can raise the necessary funds. And that depends on you as well. Thank you!
