Several dozen modern UAVs have been handed over to the Marine Corps' troops defending the Kherson direction.

This was reported by the press service of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities under the President of Ukraine.

The post says that small and fast drones have long proven to be reliable and effective equipment for both reconnaissance and destruction of the occupiers.

"These means are extremely important for ensuring successful operations of our defenders and protection of the right bank," said Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration.

"The Maviks were purchased at the initiative of the Kherson Military District at the expense of the Beryslav, Novokakhovka, Holoprystan and Skadovsk communities. About five million hryvnias were allocated to help the defenders.
