Interpipe bought 21 thermal imagers and 100+ radios for army

Ukrainian steel pipes company Interpipe, with the support of its founder Viktor Pinchuk, bought 21 thermal imagers and more than 100 radio sets for the company’s employees who defend Ukraine at the front, an official company statement reads.

The first 11 German-made thermal imagers have already been given to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in Kharkiv and Donetsk regions.

“Each of these 11 deliveries was a small special operation carried out with the support of volunteers and the military. On the way to one of the points in the Kharkiv region, a volunteer car was stuck on a dirt road near the front line, when artillery shelling began. One of the Interpipe employees came to help the volunteers. Together with other militaries, they met volunteers in armored vehicles, helped get the car and took them to a safe route,” the statement said.

The other 10 thermal imagers have just been delivered from abroad. The equipment will be delivered to the front as soon as possible.

In addition, 60 radio sets were given to the staff. Currently, they are helping to provide communications to units near Izium, Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, and Novovorontsovka.
