As the conflict landscape evolved, Chmut recognised the pivotal role played by suicide drones, prompting him to partner with Ukraine\u2019s Monobank and the United24 funding platform.<\/p>\n
In just three days, the campaign raised an impressive $6.3 million, enabling the purchase of 10,000 kamikaze drones, ushering in a new era of warfare efficiency.<\/p>\n
These kamikaze drones have proven to be game-changers in the conflict, cost-effectively neutralising heavily armoured vehicles. Chmut emphasised their impact telling The Times: “A $600 drone can destroy a tank worth a couple of million dollars. Expensive machinery in a war is not as effective as it used to be.”<\/p>\n

I understand that.<\/p>\n “If you generalise, the West watches our war as a kind of a TV show, and, as with a decent TV series, nobody wants it to end. So the machinery, armour, and support we get given are enough for us not to lose. But it is absolutely not enough for us to win.\u201d<\/p>\n
