Ukrainians need drones … but they also need drone defenses. Anti-FPV EW is just as sexy and important as FPVs themselves. We have requests for 4 sexy anti-FPV backpacks.

Relevant: HUGE thanks to all of you who made donations, bought raffle tickets, and bid on our auctions last week. We raised $3022, which is very handy because that’s very nearly the cost of a
**SEXY ANTI-FPV BACKPACK**
and we have requests for those from four Ukrainian units.
This morning I chatted a bit with the inimitable u/chosendirtyp, a Canadian guy fighting with Chosen Company, about these backpacks. My plan was to get some knowledge from him and turn it into a post.
But Dirty P’s an extremely effective communicator. Adapting his words would have been reinventing the wheel. Please see the screenshots in the slideshow to find out why we want to get these guys their backpacks.
**TL;DR: “Set it and forget it” electronic warfare that casts a protective anti-FPV bubble around Ukrainian soldiers.**
Each backpack costs about $3400. We’re in the process of ordering one and about to order a second. That takes care of two of the units who’ve requested them. If we can raise the money for all four, AWESOME. If we can raise even more, EVEN MORE AWESOME.
At the time of this writing, the vendor’s website was down—we think it may have been hacked, due to the nature of their business—but [this is the backpack we’re buying](https://kvertus.ua/en/product/kvertus-ad-counter-fpv-backpack/).
**To help:**
PayPal [donations@ukrainefrontline.org](mailto:donations@frontline.org), with the comment “EW.”
(We do also welcome general donations, most of which we’ll probably end up spending on tacmed. Or you can buy tacmed for soldiers yourself from our [Amazon wishlist](https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/N54EN49NU1LJ), if you want to have that fun.)
As ever, r/Ukraine, thank you for supporting us so we can support them!
*Edited because I forgot to link a link.*
Worth noting here that the “shovel op” Dirty P is referring to here is the Chosen Company op in which the footage was released last week.
If you didn’t see it, this is the link.

What is the range for this thing? All spectrum jamming or just some common frequencies?
Better be at least 100m and 80% of frequencies.
Tried to give , but website currently down
Ok, I’ll also tell my pav person to pick you.
Sent a donation. Stay safe u/chosendirtyp, and come home! Proud of you.
