Ukrainian Patriots resort to Online Crowdfunding to build the 'People's Drone' to help the Military fight the Pro-Russian Forces

With Ukraine’s army coming under increasing pressure in its battle to keep pro-Russian forces at bay, supporters have turned to crowdfunding in a bid to build a drone designed to offer assistance to its troops on the front line.
According to a Guardian report Sunday, the web-based “people’s drone” campaign hit its $35,000 target after receiving donations from nearly a thousand sympathizers.
But no, this UAV won’t be carrying weaponry for use against the pro-Russian fighters on Ukraine’s eastern border. Instead, it’ll be used for reconnaissance missions in key areas in an effort to monitor movements on the ground to keep one step ahead of opposition fighters.
According to its funding page, the camera-equipped drone has a top speed of 75 mph and can fly for about an hour at a distance of up to 15 miles from its controller.
