Two armored personnel carriers for Ukraine
The Ukrainian army captured two Russian armored personnel carriers last year in the Kursk region. Now, we need to repair them and send them to fight in the Kursk direction under the Ukrainian flag.
Campaign Goal
To raise funds for the repair of two BTR-82A armored personnel carriers captured from the Russian army near Kursk. Both vehicles need repairs and modifications to meet the needs of the Ukrainian army. Once ready, they will be deployed in combat in the Kursk region.
What Are We Raising Funds For?
The BTR-82A is an eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier known for its mobility, firepower, and durability. It is powered by a KamAZ-7403 diesel engine with 260 horsepower, enabling it to reach speeds of up to 90 km/h on roads and a range of approximately 600 km. It is fully amphibious, with a water speed of 10 km/h. The primary armament consists of a 14.5mm KPVT machine gun and a 7.62mm PKT machine gun. Thanks to an improved turret design, it can fire at steep angles, making it particularly effective in urban combat.
The vehicle’s armor provides protection against small arms fire and shrapnel, with the front and side hull sections reinforced to a thickness of 9 mm. Its design features horizontally split doors, enhancing safety and making dismounting easier. The BTR-82A can carry up to seven soldiers in addition to its three-member crew. This transport vehicle combines reliability, firepower, and protection, making it an effective tool for infantry transport and combat support.

Logistics and handover
Both vehicles are already in Ukraine, and the repairs are being coordinated with the Prytula Foundation, a long-term partner organization. The repairs will be carried out in Ukraine, and the vehicles will be deployed to frontline units once they are ready.

100% of the money goes to Ukraine
Your donations are used in full for the purpose stated in the campaigns.
Buy a t-shirt, support us
The costs associated with the campaigns are financed from t-shirt sales.
The gift for Putin was initiated in 2022 as a project to support the defense of Ukraine. In 2023, we became an independent non-profit organization. Supporting Ukraine’s defense, we collaborated with the Embassy of Ukraine in Prague to send equipment worth over 1 billion CZK, and we will continue doing so until Ukraine is free and safe again.
How is this legal?
The Czech Republic (where our fund was established) is one of the few countries where it is not only legal, but explicitly supported by law, for non-profit organizations to raise funds for weapons and military supplies for the Ukrainian army.
How do I get confirmation of my donation?
Select any campaign and if you leave the “I need a donation receipt” option checked, a form will automatically appear where you can enter all the necessary information. Once you complete the payment, the confirmation will be sent to your email automatically. For card payments it’s immediate, for bank transfers it may take a few days.
What about the e‑shop?
From the e‑shop profit (about two thirds of the price) we will pay production, storage and distribution; part of the proceeds will be used to run the fund and the remainder will be invested in weapons for the Ukrainian army.
Will you really buy the exact thing I'm funding?
Yes, that is correct. When you contribute to a specific campaign—like Tomáš the Tank or the Viktor air defense system—your funds are used solely for that specific purpose. While we occasionally purchase equipment while fundraising is still ongoing, it typically happens once the campaign finishes.
The time between the campaign's conclusion and delivery to Ukraine can vary from days to months. The defense industry is complicated, but we keep everyone informed about the entire process on Twitter and through media outlets.
