The charity believes it will be able to raise the required amount within a week. We don't know how much money has been transferred to bank accounts and PayPal, but at the time of writing almost ₴15 million ($400,000) has been accumulated in Monobank. It took approximately 5 hours to complete.
The EOS C VTOL is a drone developed by Estonian company Threod Systems. It has a fixed wing and can take off and land vertically. The maximum speed of the drone is 110 kilometres per hour. The reconnaissance drone has a range of 120 kilometres, but cannot travel more than 50 kilometres away from the control station.
