“The Movement responded to the requests of Ukrainian defenders and handed over the necessary equipment to be used both at the front and for training.
The Ruh football club and its founder, Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy, have once again donated the necessary aid to the military. In particular, this time the soldiers of the 45th separate artillery brigade received 10 Zozulka anti-lance systems and other necessary equipment.
“It is extremely difficult to overestimate the assistance provided by the Movement and the importance of these complexes. The war is taking on a different character and has various forms, including the war of drones. Fighting enemy drones is very important. That’s why we need modern electronic systems to throw the enemy UAV off track and to target it. “Zozulka was created for this very purpose, and it is now effectively fighting against hostile systems. It allows us to protect our personnel and equipment from Lancets. There are no solid fronts or dense combat formations now, so each Zozulka will cover a separate position with a certain amount of equipment. In general, they will have a lot of tasks for them.Oleksandr Hrabovyi, a representative of the 45th separate artillery brigade, said.
At the same time, 22 drones from Ruh and the club’s founder, Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy, were given to the Hetman Petro Sahaidachny National Army Academy. For example, they will be used at the Department of Artillery Intelligence Systems and Devices to train cadets and operational reserve.
“Today, the war is taking on a different character and has different forms, including the war of drones. The fight against enemy drones is very important. That’s why we need modern electronic systems to knock the enemy UAV off its path and its targeting. This is exactly the type of weaponry that FC Ruh donated to the Hetman Petro Sahaidachny National Army Academy – the military received 22 drones,” said Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy.
“We have a discipline called aerial reconnaissance, which is taught to artillerymen and artillery scouts. We also plan to introduce a discipline on the basics of aerial reconnaissance and fire adjustment. This will be a direction not only for artillerymen, but also for infantrymen, tankers, engineers, etc. Modern combat operations have shown that UAVs are used by all branches of the military and are essential on the battlefield. This is a great contribution to the training of specialists, as hundreds of cadets will be trained.” – said Taras Kravets, a lecturer at the Department of Artillery Intelligence at the Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi National Army Academy.
According to him, the operational reserve is also constantly increasing, and it is mastering basic knowledge: how to operate a drone, how to give targeting instructions, how to record coordinates. As a result, the department will be able to form several groups to provide training.
“All the teachers are experienced and have been in the combat zone. That is why we are very grateful to FC Ruh for such assistance, as these are very necessary things for us. We have already formed an aerial reconnaissance class, where cadets will receive appropriate training in drone control. With this number, 22 drones, we will be able to set up 3 training locations where 3 groups will be trained simultaneously. It is important that a person overcomes fear and learns to use the drone, then he or she will be able to use it efficiently during combat operations to fulfill the task.” – the specialist added.
It should be noted that once again, Ruh responds quickly to the military’s requests and delivers all the necessary assistance to the defenders as soon as possible.
“At the end of August, we sent aid to the military and then received a new request. In less than two weeks, we prepared a new batch of the necessary aid. We have excellent communication, and the club and its founder Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy have a lightning-fast response to such requests. We have good cooperation with the military and our partners.”Ihor Dedyshyn, CEO of FC Ruh, said.
He also compared the structural approach to training both in the club and in military schools. After all, the main task is to educate a decent citizen who is skillful in his or her work.
“If we talk about the concept of the Ruh Academy, our task is to raise a conscious and educated citizen. The same task is set for their students at the Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi National Army Academy, so we can say that we have common goals. They train military specialists, and we train football specialists, but fundamentally we are very similar. We are pleased to help our defenders because we have common goals.” – Ihor Dedyshyn said.
The military emphasizes that such support is extremely important for them, as it allows them to destroy the enemy.
“The 45th Brigade and FC Ruh are doing everything they can to bring the Victory closer. These gifts, which are sent to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, greatly help the military to destroy the enemy. That is why we are grateful to both the club and its founder, Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy, because these are not just one-time events, but regular support that has been going on for more than 18 months since the start of the full-scale invasion. Each drone brings Ukraine closer to victory.”Nazar Kholodnytskyi, Lieutenant Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, emphasized.
