Here are the last batch of named #SquaDrone UAVs. These are tributes to our wonderful donors, their friends and families. The first one is a birthday gift from a birthday girl, Flight Lieutenant @Linda7042. The best kind of present you can give yourself.
🛩️🧵👇
Our second UAV is a contribution in memoriam Lt @RobEld75’s late father, may he rest in peace, knowing that this drone will do the right thing in his name.
This last-minute donation from Lt @naams honors @king_lisa, who supports Ukraine while fighting her own battle against a terrible illness. We are very humbled by this gesture and truly hope that this contribution towards Ukraine's victory will mark a victory of yours.
There is no better way to end this amazing #SquaDrone parade of UAVs than with a Cherry on Top from Lt @naams. A big fat cherry that will become a wrecking ball for the invaders. A perfect last ingredient in our special drone ‘cake.’

The Kakhovka HPP is completely destroyed and can’t be restored. This is one of the biggest man-made environmental disaster in decades.
The plant was blown up by the russian military at night. The outcomes are devastating.
🧵
📍80 settlements are at risk of flooding. Water continues to flood Kherson, Nova Kakhovka and other cities and towns, taking lives and destroying Ukrainian ecology;
📍over 200,000 residents of surrounding settlements are at risk of losing access to drinking water;
📍over 16,000 people living on the right bank of Kherson Oblast have already found themselves in the critical zone, with nine settlements already completely or partially flooded;
Due to the proximity of the front line, many victims with shrapnel and mine/explosive injuries arrive at the Mykolaiv Clinical Hospital. An X-ray machine, purchased with the funds of U24 donors, helps to save them. Like this story of a man who came under fire🧵👇
"We quickly took him to the operating table, and operated with the help of an arc. There were access difficulties due to the limited time and bleeding. With the help of a C-arm X-ray machine, we were able to install a metal structure through a small incision."
"The man's lower limb was saved. The C-arm rotates 360 degrees. We can scan a person in any projection, find a fragment or fracture without making a large skin incision, and display the X-ray image on the screen. This shortens the operation time and reduces the blood loss."
Thanks to your donations, we have raised $201,425 to rebuild of the school in Buzova 🔥
The 14 winners of the Vyshyvankas raffle were randomly chosen among the participants who donated $24 or more. Here are their e-mail addresses👇
Some of our donors didn’t have a Fella avatar when they funded a drone. But we still made tributes to them. And even supplemented some of them with visuals. Like this email request from Lt @Iakwasny for an UAV in honor of Ukraine’s great poet Taras Shevchenko.
This drone from Lt @DirkAltrichter is dedicated to Ukrainian girl Kira. Today, on International Children’s Day, we want to pay tribute to all kids in Ukraine who suffered from russian invaders. They will pay for each child’s tear.
The wolf is in the Flyin’ Fellas pack. Thanks to Flight Lieutenant @TheSylvreWolfe for reinforcements.
Our continuous supporter @nother_fella has funded 6 UAVs already. The 1st one was dedicated to his grandfather who flew Wellington bombers. The 2nd is a tribute to his other grandpa, Flying Officer William Fergusson, who flew Mosquitoes and died in combat. Here are the rest👇
This next drone is a tribute to Ruslan, Ukraine's warrior and a friend of our dear supporter and volunteer @IamBohhi. Ruslan was killed defending our country, and we really wish he'll be avenged. This UAV is a good way to do that.
@IamBohhi is also a wonderful daughter, who supports her dad who's fighting for Ukraine as well. This drone is a small token of appreciation to her and her family, who make us all proud.
