Friends, we’re glad to report on June 2026 and to sum up STRUM’s work for Q2 2026 along the way.

In June, the Azov Brigade kept up combat operations on the Dobropillia axis, holding back the enemy’s advance and inflicting maximum losses. The job is getting done. The brigade’s Unmanned Systems Battalion alone accounted for 191 enemy personnel killed, 28 wounded and more than 100 pieces of equipment hit over the month.

We talk to the soldiers behind these results, the ones who receive support from STRUM. They feel the steady backing of the home front and of our community in particular, whose regular contributions let us cover ongoing and urgent needs. So our job is to keep this pace, however hard the approaching winter makes it.

Procurement

We closed 6 requests from five units of the brigade for a range of equipment, from drone batteries and antennas to personal protection, including armor plates.

Brigade UAS service

We closed the UAS service’s request for battery packs and drone antennas, $43,266 in total:

• Batteries of various capacities — 50 pcs
• Drone antennas — 5 pcs

The service distributed the equipment among the brigade’s units.

Brigade communications service

We closed a request for 82 Starlink terminals worth $34,192:

• Starlink Mini terminals — 56 pcs
• Starlink Gen3 terminals — 26 pcs

They were distributed among the brigade’s units to keep positions connected and drone signal stable.

1st Special Purpose Battalion

We closed two battalion requests totaling $19,307:

• Drone batteries — 80 pcs, $16,159

• Drone remote controllers — 12 pcs, $3,148

Special Purpose Snipers Unit

We fulfilled the brigade snipers’ request for light Class 3 armor plates: 30 sets, $17,733 in total.

This gear will help the unit carry out its difficult tasks on the line of contact.

Support Battalion

We fulfilled a request from the Support Battalion’s engineering company for working equipment and components, $3,403 in total:

• Voltage converters and power regulators — 16 pcs
• GPS modules — 8 pcs
• Transmitters (TX) — 8 pcs

Vehicle repairs

We carried out repairs and bought spare parts for various vehicles, $2,151 in total.

It may look like a minor line item. But closing these requests fast shortens the gap between a vehicle breaking down and getting back to work: hauling, digging, loading.

We count on your continued support and involvement, so that together we can strengthen the Azov units holding back the enemy on one of the hottest sections of the front.

Stay in the network. Invite your friends. Order support merch. Spread the idea of STRUM.
