About the project

Protect the Sky is a joint charitable project organized by the charity foundation Come Back Alive and the Ukrainian postal company Nova Post.

The project is designed to help our Air Defense reduce their reaction time from minutes to seconds.

We are raising 330 million hryvnias to strengthen Ukraine’s Air Defense and equip the Air Force Command “Center” with modern communications and mobile command posts.

What are we getting for the Air Defense?*

Complex Communication Facilities

We will be purchasing new minibuses that are fully equipped with the modern communications equipment to create a robust command system capable of meeting modern challenges. We want to foster ideal conditions for communications specialists and ensure compliance with NATO standards.

Portable Command and Control Kits

The kits are stored in protective cases that can be transformed into modern mobile command posts ‒ in other words, fully-equipped workplaces for air defense crewmembers. Weighing under 60 kg, these cases can easily be carried by two servicemen.

Tele Radio Communication Kits for Mobile Air Defense Squads

Mobile communication kits will provide the air defense mobile squads with a stable and uninterrupted connection to command, better coordination with other defense units, aerial situation data, and the ability to timely identify targets, all of which help to ensure that enemy attacks are neutralized.

Project Results

As of March 2024, "Nova Post," together with the "Come Back Alive" Foundation, has provided the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with portable communication and control kits, telecommunication kits, integrated communication complexes (ICCs), and mobile command posts (MCPs) as part of the "Protect the Sky – Boost Air Defense" project.

Since the components of "Protect the Sky – Boost Air Defense" were developed by Air Force personnel and specialists from the "Come Back Alive" Foundation, we were able to significantly optimize costs during the implementation of the project.

In total, 48,877,448 UAH was preserved.

Out of this, 47.9 million UAH turned into 50 pickups for the Air Commands "East" and "South" which cover, among other regions, Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv.

An additional 977,448 UAH was allocated by the "Come Back Alive" Foundation as a part of systematic ongoing support of air defense efforts.

As of July 2024, the "Protect the Sky – Boost Air Defense" project has been fully implemented.
