Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation delivered 135 advanced loitering munitions valued at a total of 261,853,838 UAH ($6.3 million) to Ukraine's defense forces, the organization's press service announced on Sept. 18.
The procurement of RAM-2X and RAM-3X strike systems was financed through the foundation's flagship "Jaws" (Shchelepy) public fundraising campaign.
Frontline units are already deploying the newly acquired munitions to dismantle heavy Russian armored columns, air defense installations, and high-value strategic radar complexes.
Confirmed combat strikes executed by Ukrainian formations utilizing the munitions include:
$100 million radar neutralized: An operational detachment within the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security under the Joint Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck a Russian Nebo-SVU early-warning surveillance radar.
Double surface-to-air missile kill: Ballista special operations unit of the Special Operations Forces (SOF) eliminated an advanced Buk-M3 surface-to-air missile system and a mobile launcher from an S-300 anti-aircraft missile system within a 48-hour operational window.
Deep cross-border radar strike: The 429th Achilles Strike Drone Battalion, operating jointly with the 43rd Separate Artillery Brigade, struck a strategic Russian Nebo-M radar complex positioned near Millerovo military airfield in Rostov Oblast, Russia.
"Since the launch of this fundraising initiative, we have systematically transferred assets to the defense forces that are already inflicting enormous, irreplaceable financial and material losses on the enemy," said Bohdan Danyliv, head of the military department at the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation.
"Every contribution made under the Jaws drive materializes into tangible weaponry that successfully strikes targets deep within the enemy's operational and tactical rear."
The Jaws fundraising campaign aims to secure 1.3 billion hryvnias ($31.5 million) dedicated exclusively to equipping Ukraine's defense forces with coordinated reconnaissance and strike capabilities. Over 80% of the target amount has been crowdsourced to date.
Technical Capabilities: RAM-2X and RAM-3X
RAM-2X and RAM-3X are indigenous Ukrainian loitering munitions featuring cruciform X-wing aerodynamic layouts, optimized to neutralize high-priority stationary and mobile targets across operational and tactical depths. RAM-2X platform can engage high-value assets at standoff ranges of up to 180 kilometers and operates in paired coordination with the SHARK-M reconnaissance unmanned aerial system, which handles forward aerial scouting, electronic intelligence, and target designation.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
