As part of Rinat Akhmetov’s Steel Front military initiative, Metinvest Group donated light equipment – buggies and five motorcycles worth a total of around UAH 2 million – to soldiers of the 15th Special Forces Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, Kara-Dag, according to a press release on Monday.
“The enemy is increasingly using FPV drones, which makes the use of heavy armored vehicles extremely difficult. Buggies, on the other hand, are fast, inconspicuous, and allow combat missions to be carried out effectively. We are additionally equipping them with protection, and they are used to deliver personnel, ammunition, support drone pilots, and perform other tasks,” said Deputy Brigade Commander Oleksandr Ryasny.
According to him, this type of transport is currently becoming increasingly in demand on the front lines.
In addition to buggies, the National Guard also received motorcycles, which will help them move even faster on the front line.
“Motorcycles are what is particularly needed now for rapid movement and covert operations on the battlefield. They allow us to deliver provisions, ammunition, and personnel in the shortest possible time,” said Deputy Brigade Commander Yevstakhiy Mospan.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion within the Steel Front, the company has provided more than UAH 5 billion in assistance to the army.
