WTB: 145 riscaldatori diesel per mantenere al caldo i difensori dell’UA senza rivelare la loro posizione al nemico. Dettagli all’interno.

It’s no secret that Ukrainian winters are bone-chillingly cold, harsh, and snowy. Nighttime temperatures regularly drop as low as -20C (-4F). Providing warmth on position is an essential part of basic duty conditions: it promotes better recovery after missions, helping to maintain high combat readiness.

Keeping defenders warm while evading detection a scant few kilometers from the zero line is more challenging than it may seem. At around $100, diesel heaters are priced similarly to woodburning stoves, but they’re significantly more efficient and, crucially, they emit very little smoke or light which would reveal Ukrainian positions to the enemy.

They have the added advantage of being able to run on diesel fuel, which is readily available near the front (and typically provided by the AFU).  These heaters can also run on oil if diesel is unavailable.

We’ve teamed up with u/3xR_team and [Wardoggo](https://x.com/deflepard260) to purchase 145 Webasto-style diesel heaters for the units we support who need them the most: those in the hottest zones along the front, closest to the enemy.

**$14,500 will purchase 145 heaters. Ukraine Front Line and Renegade Relief Runners are covering the first $5000.** That means we only need to collect $9500 total to reach our goal of safely keeping Ukrainian defenders warm during the coldest months of the year.

Units who will be supported by this fundraiser include, but are not limited to:

* 13th Battalion, 95th Brigade of Armed Forces of Ukraine
* “A” Alpha SBU of Armed Forces of Ukraine
* 18th Brigade of National Guard of Ukraine
* 5th Separate Assault Brigade
* Rubizh
* Khartiia

Additional units will be added to this recipient list as capacity allows

I know this might not sound that cool. But it’s probably the most cost effective thing to put money on from what I have seen so far. A soldier that is cold for a longer period of time is not going to be able to cut it when the shit hits the fan.

This is crucial!

Donated what I can, best of luck 🤞
