The Czech people, as part of the "Gift for Putin" initiative, collected $2.3 million in donations for the purchase of the RM-70 anti-aircraft missile defense system and 365 missiles for it.
This is stated in the message of the organizers of the initiative.
"In just two and a half months, 19 165 people and companies made contributions. The rocket launcher is expected to be deployed within a few weeks," the organizers noted.
MLRS RM-70 is the Czech version of the Soviet Grad system, but on the chassis of the local company Tatra, and also with a new charging system.
- Last October, Czech activists bought a T-72 tank for the Armed Forces for €1.2 million. Its name was "Tomash".
