Recall, Serhiy Prytula announced the fundraising for three Bayraktar TB2 drones in late June. Three days later, the charity received $20 million, but Baykar promised to donate the drones for free. In the end, Ukraine received three UAVs, and the foundation used the money raised to buy a satellite from ICEYE.
