Sky defenders in Sumy region received 10 pickup trucks along with computer and digital equipment.

This was reported by the Facebook page of the Sumy Regional Military Administration, as conveyed by Ukrinform.

According to reports, the head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration, Volodymyr Artyukh, handed over vehicles and equipment to the battalion whose fighters protect the skies of Sumy region and carry out other combat missions, including in the Kursk direction.

Along with the pickups, the defenders of Sumy region received tablets, laptops, power banks, spare parts for vehicles, and more.

“These pickups are new, equipped with everything necessary. The equipment and technology will enable you to successfully carry out combat tasks,” Artyukh noted.
