Dimko met Blacksmith and his unit in Donbas in early August, by the recommendation of another air recon unit we were helping. Good actions tend to be greatly appreciated in the war zone.
In our first encounter, Dimko got them ~20 active headsets for the firing positions.

Artillery folks were happy to receive that equipment, because it enables them to do their duties quicker and safer. Army runs on printers – all the papers have to be printed and signed in the operational center. Tablets are used daily for maps and tracks, to calculate artillery round trajectories.
Sweets and cigarettes are always gold at war. We know this. Big thanks to those who donated them!
