Last week, during a delivery tour to Kramatorsk, something unforgettable happened. We had the honor of meeting Commander of the 93rd Brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Shamil Krutkov, who spoke about the growing threat of fiber-optic drones devastating the frontlines. He shared that he now feels safer because he keeps a shotgun in his vehicle - a simple but highly effective way to shoot down drones. “This shotgun,” he explained, “is particularly good.” It turned out he was talking about a shotgun which we had equipped with a red dot sight.

That very shotgun had been funded by a generous Dutch donor. The same donor has now stepped up again, offering to pay for another 2,000 shotguns. Now, it’s our mission to equip as many of them as possible with red dots - because these sights dramatically increase accuracy and response time in critical moments.

Why Red Dots?

• Speed & Precision: Red dots allow soldiers to aim faster and more accurately, giving them a better chance to stop an approaching drone in time.

• Proven Lifesavers: We’ve already heard numerous firsthand accounts of soldiers who survived drone attacks thanks to red-dot-equipped shotguns.

• Growing Threat: With the enemy deploying more and more fiber-optic drones, the need has never been greater.

➡️ Join us this Independence Day in giving defenders a shot for life
