As noted by the Twitter users, the AHS Krab was a gift from Poland, following the ”Bayraktar TB2″ drone.

On Thursday, July 28, Turkish company Baykar announced they were donating the “Bayraktar TB2” drone to Ukraine free of charge, following successful fundraising in Poland.

The fundraiser’s initiator, journalist Slawomir Serakovskyy, said on Facebook at the time: “We would like to express our gratitude to all the Polish people who supported such a meaningful campaign. We were impressed that hundreds of thousands of Polish citizens participated in the campaign you organised.”

“We want to participate in your humanitarian solidarity movement on our side with an offering. In light of your campaign, we will provide a Bayraktar TB2 to the people of Ukraine so that they can better protect their homeland.”

“And we will oversee the allocation of your funds by Ukrainian charities to ends that ultimately strengthen Ukraine.”

“Our aspiration is that our offering and this campaign will succeed in saving the lives of innocent Ukrainians in challenging times that we pray to soon end.”
