A soldier from the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine reveals a Bober ("Beaver") drone from the Black Box. The secret project was initiated by the Army Competent Assistance Foundation "Back and Alive".

"This is Kolibri. He is a special forces officer of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, the one who works with the 'box' and the one who opens it," the statement reads.

It is noted that the Black Box contains, in particular, the Ukrainian barrage munition Bober, capable of covering up to 800 km.

"Back and Alive" writes that this is only one of the components of the "box".

Black Box

Black Box is a joint covert project of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, the Army Competent Assistance Foundation "Back and Alive" and blogger Ihor Lachenkov. Last year, at the request of the DIU, the Back and Alive Foundation, together with Lachenkov, raised UAH 230 million for the Black Box project, which is a scale-up of a previous, similarly secret initiative with the foundation, with a total cost of UAH 40 million.

In June, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine stated that the secret Black Box project had already caused $700 million in losses to the Russian occupiers.
