Among the drones provided to the border guards are the Mavic 3 and Mavic 2 models. These represent some of the most technologically advanced equipment on the market. Metinvest has repeatedly provided such drones to Ukraine's intelligence officers.
“Metinvest has been helping the army since the first days of the Russian invasion. Among those who need special support are the Ukrainian border guards who defend the frontiers. They were the first to stand up to the invaders back in 2014,” said the head of the CEO’s project office of Metinvest Group Oleksandr VODOVIZ, “so when we learned about the priority needs of the border guards, we immediately came to help. In particular, we have provided them with our steel products to be used to equip observation points and shelters. Vehicles, drones and thermal imagers to track the enemy are also among the vital cargo. As part of the military initiative of Rinat Akhmetov's Steel Front, we will help our defenders until we expel the invaders from our land.”
