The newly formed International Battalion of the Azov Brigade is deploying for its first mission

Volunteers from the US, UK, EU, and beyond have joined the ranks of the National Guard of Ukraine to defend freedom on the frontlines.

AZOV.ONE is raising $60,000 to equip them with critical gear:

  • Anti-drone protection equipment, including 2 large counter-FPV electronic warfare systems and 30 protective anti-drone coats;
  • Optics & Thermal Tech, including 6 thermal imaging sights and 6 thermal imagers, as well as 3 rangefinders;
  • Field Energy Gear, including 10 charging stations EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro, 4 charging stations EcoFlow DELTA 3, and 2 dual-fuel generators.

These fighters face not only Russian forces, but weapons from regimes like Iran and North Korea. Help us shield those who shield the free world. This fight requires top-notch equipment that we at AZOV.ONE can quickly and effectively procure.
