Initially, the Lithuanians donated less than six million euros in a few days to “Bayraktar”, which is given the name “Hawk”, but then the Turkish manufacturer gave the aircraft as a gift, and the money could be used to buy four smaller drones, and they promised to send two more.
The author of the campaign and journalist Andrjus Tapins shared a video from the first reconnaissance missions of “Magyla-1” and “Magyla-2” in the vicinity of Vrubivka and Losutivka on his Facebook profile. The drones recorded 18 objects, including T-64 and T-72 tanks, armored personnel carriers and other combat vehicles. Exact coordinates have been sent to the Ukrainian artillery, and the Rashist equipment has been eliminated.
“Magyla” in Eastern European folklore is a goddess of fate who rides the night winds and drinks human blood, stabbing, torturing, destroying her victims just like the furies in ancient Roman and Greek legends.
During the spring solstice, a “Magyla” doll is created, lit and thrown into water to drive away winter. According to ancient beliefs, touching the representation of “Magyla” when it is thrown into water causes the hand to wither, looking back at the doll while walking home can cause illness.
Ukraine receives drones and German tanks
The Ukrainian army will receive from the USA about 580 modern kamikaze drones – “Phoenix Ghost”, the characteristics of which are kept secret. They are designed to destroy targets with a medium armor level. “Phoenix Ghost” is similar to the “Switchblade” kamikaze drone, can take off vertically, is equipped with an infrared camera, and has a flight time of about six hours. This drone was developed by order of the US Air Force.
From Germany, Ukraine received the first three anti-aircraft tanks “Gepard” and several thousand rounds. According to the agreement reached in May, 12 more such tanks will be delivered. This is the second batch of heavy weapons from Germany. In June, Germany delivered 40 self-propelled howitzers that can engage targets at a distance of 40 kilometers.
