The fighters of the 3rd Border Guard Detachment named after the Hero of Ukraine, Colonel Yevhen Pikus, received important equipment from the Luhansk Regional Military Administration: anti-drone rifles, Chuyka electronic reconnaissance devices, wearable dome EW systems of the backpack type, as well as DJI Matrice quadcopters.

In addition, powerful EcoFlow charging stations complete with solar panels were provided to border guards for uninterrupted power supply.

"This equipment is critically needed on the front line. Modern detectors and electronic warfare means allow for timely detection and effective suppression of enemy drones, saving the lives of personnel. And portable power plants ensure complete autonomy of positions and stable operation of communication facilities," said the head of the Luhansk region, Oleksiy Kharchenko.

Also, for conscientious service and defense of Ukraine, the head of the regional state administration presented the servicemen of the “Revenge” brigade and the 9th border detachment named after the Sich Riflemen with regional awards: 11 soldiers received the badge of honor “Defender of Luhansk Region”, 20 – Certificates of Honor and Letters of Gratitude. 10 border guards were awarded the Rubizhny CMA distinction — the medal “Defender of Rubizhny”.
