Ano, Čestmír je UH-60 Black Hawk, americký dvoumotorový víceúčelový vrtulník. A my bychom ho chtěli koupit a poslat na Ukrajinu aby tam zatápěl russákům. Sbírku na Čestmíra spustíme zítra večer. Na Letné v Praze bude k vidění v pátek odpoledne. Těšíme se na vás...???????? pic.twitter.com/Jtc927ggJf

By the way, this is not the first time that the Darek pro Putina initiative has bought weapons for Ukrainian defenders. For example, last year volunteers raised $3,850,000 for Victor anti-aircraft systems based on Toyota Land Cruiser to combat Iranian Shahed-136 UAVs. In addition, the volunteers also bought for the AFU an RM-70 multiple rocket launcher and 365 rockets for $1,400,000.
