80th Air Assault Brigade
The 80th Air Assault Brigade is an elite unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces specializing in airborne and air assault operations.

- Navigator Screens for piloting – 2 pcs
- Radiomaster TX12 Controllers – 2 pcs
- FPV Goggles – 2 pcs
- LiteVNA 64 Vector Network Analyzer (50KHz – 6.3GHz, 3.95″) – 1 pc.
Makhno
Makhno was one of the heroes we supported. We worked closely with him for about a year.
In our team’s last interview with him, he shared his plans for the future and revealed that his motivation and support during the war came from his family — his wife and his 7-year-old son. Yurii’s wish was to take his son to first grade this year.
His family mentioned that the greatest support we could offer would be to organize a fundraiser in his honor and assist Makhno’s unit and comrades.

Below is a part of our conversation with Makhno during our trip to Sumy in August 2024.
We talked about his motivation, his role in the Ukrainian Army, his life before the war, and his current dreams and plans.
Every dollar donated has a significant impact.
The 80th Regiment is currently engaged in a challenging front, making support more crucial than ever.
We sincerely thank everyone who has contributed to the fundraiser, helping us supply Ukrainian defenders with what they need.
