Czech volunteers want to buy an American UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter for the Ukrainian Armed Forces

The Czech initiative Darek pro Putina is going to launch a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for a helicopter for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Here's What We Know

We are talking about the American helicopter UH-60 Black Hawk. Fundraising for it will be launched this Friday, November 17. It is not yet known how much the helicopter will cost.

By the way, this is not the first time that the Darek pro Putina initiative has bought weapons for Ukrainian defenders.

In addition, the volunteers also bought for the AFU an RM-70 multiple rocket launcher and 365 rockets for $1,400,000.
