Mobile shower units
Research indicates that poor hygiene and lack of sleep are major contributors to depression and low morale among soldiers. Protect Ukraine is providing mobile shower and laundry units to improve soldiers’ hygiene, sleep and morale, with several Ukrainian brigades and regiments set to receive them soon.
SUVs and pickups
The military has to secure its own SUVs and pickup trucks, which are essential for transportation, logistics, and mobility on the front line.
Motorcycles
Motorcycles are essential for transportation, logistics and mobility on the front line, especially in terrain where cars struggle to operate.
Anti-drone nets
Drones can also be captured by stretching fishing nets between trees or across roads — especially those undetectable drones that use fibre-optic cables. Traditional fishing nets are currently the only effective countermeasure. Instead of exploding, the drones become entangled and are safely caught in the netting.
Jammers
To reduce the effectiveness of drones, we need to disrupt their radio and GPS signals. This can be achieved using signal jammers.
Helmets and vests
Many soldiers are still inadequately equipped with helmets and protective vests. For example, not many soldiers have helmets compatible with communication headsets.
Combat medic training (TCCC)
Ukraine needs to significantly expand its training capacity for the use of trauma kits (Combat Medic Training – TCCC). Every soldier needs to complete this training before entering a combat zone, as it dramatically increases the chances of survival for the wounded.
Trauma packs
Every convoy we send includes trauma kits for Ukrainian forces, including a tourniquet, chest seals, haemostatic gauze, and an emergency bandage — essential for treating severe bleeding and lung injuries. Due to shortages on the front line, every service member has to carry such kits.
Evacuation robots
Protect Ukraine has teamed up with Ukraine’s General Staff and a drone manufacturer to develop an armoured ground robot for the save evacuation of wounded soldiers under fire. Equipped with medical monitoring and communication tools, this robot reduces the dangers medics face from Russian attacks. The design has now been approved, a prototype is currently being tested, and serial production has started.
Drone training for veterans
We provide drone training for veterans, helping them apply their skills in vital, modern military roles and continue to contribute to Ukraine’s defence.
