The boats were donated by the Diana Podolyanchuk Charity Foundation, which is constantly raising funds to purchase boats for Ukrainian intelligence officers.
The active operations units of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense received three new T12 boats designed for sea and river special operations. This was reported by the Defense Intelligence press service.
“Very soon these boats will be used by our special forces fighters. These are 12-meter boats with powerful 400-horsepower engines. They are capable of performing logistical, landing, assault and evacuation tasks. We thank everyone who is involved in this project – Ukrainians and our foreign partners,” said Diana Podolyanchuk.
The Defense Intelligence units are already effectively using the previously donated T12 boats to patrol water areas and conduct special operations, including in temporarily occupied territories.
A Defense Intelligence fighter with the call sign “Khoma” confirmed that the equipment has proven itself well in combat conditions.
“These boats are very helpful in carrying out missions at sea. They are not inferior to foreign analogues, and in some cases even better,” the military man commented.
The “Boats for GUR” initiative is still ongoing. You can join the collection at the link.
Also, as USM wrote, the day before, the Defense Intelligence published new data on more than a hundred vessels of the Russian “shadow fleet”.
