Five training aircraft for future F-16 pilots
Ukraine needs military pilots. And they have to start learning to fly on something. The experts of their future pilot school themselves chose the ALTO NG aircraft, a two-seat low-wing monoplane manufactured in the Czech Republic.
Its great advantage is reliability and stability, which ensures safe beginnings for new pilots. The aircraft was designed as a simple all-metal construction with sufficient performance matching the standards of this category, with low maintenance costs and simple, pleasant flight handling. The machine is equipped with a proven ROTAX 912 ULs engine, providing adequate power in its category.

The campaign price includes purchase, transport, and basic instructor training.
On the ALTO NG, future pilots will strengthen and expand their basic skills. Once they master it, their instructors will decide where they go next – whether to helicopters, transport aircraft, or to the elite who take the controls of a fighter jet. In Ukraine, that could mean the Sukhoi, Mirage, or F-16. And in the future, perhaps even the Gripen.
By the way, the Czech Republic is part of the so-called Air Coalition, and training of Ukrainian pilots is already partly taking place here.
One ALTO NG aircraft costs just under €185,000. The price includes delivery of the aircraft, training of pilots, and training of support personnel.
The fundraising campaign for five ALTO NG aircraft is a campaign for war and for peace. Ukraine will need military pilots even when there is a ceasefire or a “sustainable” peace. Because Russia will never give up its dream of a “march on Kyiv in three days.”

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.
