Our Support
Our support focuses on the following areas:
- We provide material support to combat units – medical supplies, tactical equipment, daily necessities, logistical equipment, off-road and other vehicles, and deliver aid to the frontlines
- We manufacture and deliver trench candles from the Czech Republic to Ukraine, and we also produce these candles in schools in the Zakarpattia region.
- We produce camouflage nets in schools and cultural spaces and supply this material to units on the eastern and southern fronts.
- We manufacture FPV drones in Ukraine and deliver them, along with other materials, to the frontlines.
1) We provide material support to combat units – medical supplies, tactical equipment, daily necessities, logistical equipment, off-road and other vehicles, and deliver the aid to the frontlines, handing it over to specific units.
Vasyl Andrishko communicates with the units in Ukraine, who send him lists of the items they need most. Vasyl sends us these lists to the Czech Republic, where we try to secure the products. The items are usually medical supplies (tourniquets, bandages, dressings, etc.), daily necessities (sleeping bags, sleeping mats, thermal underwear, energy drinks and bars, wet wipes, etc.), tactical equipment (bulletproof vests, camouflage nets, tablets, night vision devices for vehicles, etc.), and primarily off-road vehicles (Mitsubishi L200, Mazda B2500, Ford Ranger, etc.)
We try to deliver support to the units every month. You can read more about our work during our Expeditions to Ukraine

2) We manufacture and deliver trench candles from the Czech Republic to Ukraine, and we also produce candles in schools in the Zakarpattia region
We responded to the need for trench candle production by initially assisting with wax deliveries to schools in Zakarpattia, which we managed to secure in the Czech Republic through collections. Children in Zakarpattia have been making trench candles since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the aggressor in 2022, and we decided to join them and help ease their workload.i.
We wanted to provide more significant help, so we fine-tuned the mass production of candles in Prague. We are now able to produce a significantly larger quantity of candles with fewer people, and we will help at the end of this winter and every winter to come, if needed.
During the winter, candle production became our mission. We managed to secure excellent suppliers for cardboard and cans. Thanks to our donors, we were able to obtain a large amount of wax, which we melted and used to fill trench candles for the soldiers.
We meticulously improved the production process of trench candles, refining it almost to perfection. With this process, we can produce hundreds of candles per day. The biggest limitation is the shortage of wax, but thanks to our donors, we have found ways to address that as well. So far, we have delivered over 3,000 trench candles.
Our efforts have been mentioned in Metro in an interview with Honza Riedl. Read the article.
3) We produce camouflage nets in Zakarpattia, Ukraine
The production of camouflage nets is very demanding. Camouflage nets are among the most valuable items in Ukraine, and soldiers are truly grateful for them. During the summer of 2023, one school in Zakarpattia was producing camouflage nets. Currently, the production is happening in four schools. Volunteers at each school can produce one camouflage net, measuring 4 x 6 meters, in 4 to 6 days.
A camouflage net is an essential safety element in modern warfare, where intelligence about equipment positions is often gathered through drone surveillance. When equipment is properly concealed, this ability to detect and identify vehicles and personnel becomes much more difficult. In this way, camouflage nets can save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians alike.
The production of these nets requires a mesh base, into which large amounts of specialized fabric are manually woven. The fabric is chosen in specific colors based on the terrain and season: green for spring and summer, fall colors for autumn, and white for winter. A single net, measuring 4 x 6 meters, is sufficient to cover a vehicle, and larger equipment can be concealed by combining multiple nets.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the children in elementary schools in western Ukraine, in the town of Osij in the Silver Land (Zakarpattia), the volunteers at the Irshava Museum Institute, Director Andrei Svitlinecký, and all those who are helping to hide Ukraine from the watchful eyes of Russian drones through their dedicated efforts.
The soldiers are truly grateful for the camouflage nets.
4) We manufacture FPV drones in Ukraine and deliver them along with other equipment to the frontlines
At the end of 2023, we began producing FPV drones. Modern defense strategies today cannot function without these tools, and given the balance of power, every operational device is crucial for repelling attacks and driving out the aggressor.
Since we have the necessary production capacities, facilities, opportunities, and most importantly, the motivation and desire to help, we decided to embark on the production of FPV drones and related equipment. We have full support from Aero Intelligence and the Ukrainian Armed Forces (ZSU).
Production and testing take place in Ukraine, and we have launched a public fundraising campaign through the nonprofit organization SOHTASH in Ukraine, specifically focused on these activities.
