Air bridge for encircled Ukrainian troops
Operation to deliver humanitarian aid by air bridge to the defenders and residents of the besieged towns of Avdiivka, Klishchivka, Kupyansk, and the area across the Dnieper River. We need to speed up the production of new robust drones that can deliver up to 20 kg of cargo to Ukrainian positions.
Campaign objective
To fund the production and delivery of as many of the robust ARCZ10 "Polednice" drones as possible, capable of carrying up to 20 kg of cargo, and using them to create air bridges to surrounded Ukrainian army positions. The drones will deliver humanitarian aid, medical supplies and equipment to the defenders.
What will be purchased
As many ARCZ10 "Polednice" drones and accessories for their missions as possible. The drones will be equipped with an autopilot system, allowing control even by persons with no previous experience with drones, which will allow the drone to be operated without manual intervention. In addition, the drones will feature electronics for image transmission and improved drop site identification, including night operation, extending their operational capabilities to a full 24 hours.
Volunteers from Czech Aerospace Intelligence, a non-profit organization specializing in the development of non-centric and robotic solutions to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression, are involved in the development of these drones.
The preliminary cost estimate for the production of one drone is approximately 5120 EUR including the development of powerful cargo dropping servos and other necessary components.
The drones will be delivered to Ukraine immediately and on a long-term basis.
Who is behind the project
Czech Aerospace Intelligence, z.s. is an initiative of volunteers who are dedicated to producing FPV drones, antennas and prototypes to support Ukraine, while trying to create a strong community of drone defense experts in the Czech Republic - developing territorial defense using civilian volunteers. This project not only brings immediate help to those in need, but also strengthens defenses and technological self-sufficiency in the context of modern conflict.
Aerospace volunteers have already created hundreds of drones that are flying and assisting in Ukraine. As well, they are working on prototypes and researching uses for drones, such as the use of AI, radio communications, and other sensors.
The transportation of drones to eastern Ukraine, including testing and training of the operators, is handled by the well-known VozímDrony group, which has been transporting drones for almost two years

Buy a t-shirt, support us
The costs associated with the campaigns are financed from t-shirt sales.
The gift for Putin was initiated in 2022 as a project to support the defense of Ukraine. In 2023, we became an independent non-profit organization. Supporting Ukraine’s defense, we collaborated with the Embassy of Ukraine in Prague to send equipment worth over 1 billion CZK, and we will continue doing so until Ukraine is free and safe again.
How is this legal?
The Czech Republic (where our fund was established) is one of the few countries where it is not only legal, but explicitly supported by law, for non-profit organizations to raise funds for weapons and military supplies for the Ukrainian army.
How do I get confirmation of my donation?
Select any campaign and if you leave the “I need a donation receipt” option checked, a form will automatically appear where you can enter all the necessary information. Once you complete the payment, the confirmation will be sent to your email automatically. For card payments it’s immediate, for bank transfers it may take a few days.
What about the e‑shop?
From the e‑shop profit (about two thirds of the price) we will pay production, storage and distribution; part of the proceeds will be used to run the fund and the remainder will be invested in weapons for the Ukrainian army.
Will you really buy the exact thing I'm funding?
Yes, that is correct. When you contribute to a specific campaign—like Tomáš the Tank or the Viktor air defense system—your funds are used solely for that specific purpose. While we occasionally purchase equipment while fundraising is still ongoing, it typically happens once the campaign finishes.
The time between the campaign's conclusion and delivery to Ukraine can vary from days to months. The defense industry is complicated, but we keep everyone informed about the entire process on Twitter and through media outlets.
