Crowd Funded Helicopter for Ukraine

So, an initiative called Dárek pro Putina (present for Putin) is trying to collect money for a Black Hawk helicopter that would be used by Ukrainian special forces, and will be provided though channels in the ministry of defense.

So, the campaign is on for like a month, and the target is over 100 million CZK. As you can see they have so far collected a handful of the sum. I would have thought this campaign was hyped up enough because I see it all over X and Facebook.

2024 update. Seems like they are saving around 1000 CZK, so this way they will finance the helicopter in 120 days. So perhaps by summer, the helicopter might become a target for Russian air defense.

The above post made me check upon the funding of Čestmír as it was intended for operations such as the one described above.

Čestmír has collected on 4 million CZK from the last time I updated this post, which was in late January. That is not even a half needed to purchase it. I thought there would be much more enthusiasm for it…

There isn’t much enthusiasm for this crowdfunding project. They have only collected two million CZK from March.

They now have a new project up, which is getting much more attention. They want to buy ten tons of plastic explosives.

Update Summer 2024:

The fundraiser failed, and they will find a cheaper helicopter…

UPD 2025: They found the cheaper helicopter, now they want 70 million instead of 105 million.

Please give a krona for Čestmír!

Čestmír is a helicopter which will hopefully soon fight against Orcs in Ukraine and is now subject of a fundraiser.

We are close from the moment when the Czechs will send a Black Hawk helicopter to Ukraine. We have a cheaper and newer machine, which Ukraine needs. Let us finish what we began together and send Čestmír into battle against Dark Imperium.

Orc, Dark Imperium, newer but cheaper…😆
