TEKEVER donates €100,000 to support 15th Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade

European unmanned aerial systems manufacturer TEKEVER has donated €100,000 to equip the command post of the 15th Separate Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade “Black Forest”. The funds were channelled through the Serhiy Prytula Foundation.

The brigade’s command post is responsible for gathering intelligence, supporting UAV operations and monitoring enemy activity. It is within such centres that mission effectiveness is assessed, risks forecasted and decisions made at both tactical and strategic levels. “Covering operational costs makes it possible to operate effectively on the battlefield,” said the commander of the 15th Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade, Oleksandr Popov.

The new equipment will strengthen the brigade’s ability to conduct targeted missions, enhance situational awareness and contribute to the success of combat operations.

TEKEVER has been cooperating with the Ukrainian Armed Forces since 2022, in particular by supplying AR3 and AR5 UAS systems for long-range reconnaissance, surveillance and data collection. The company is also expanding its regional presence: building a local team, establishing service centres for drone maintenance, developing engineering infrastructure, opening research hubs and launching training programmes for its Ukrainian partners.

TEKEVER was founded in Portugal but now operates offices and production facilities in various European countries. In April 2025, the company opened an office in Ukraine. Then, in May — following a new investment round — TEKEVER reached a valuation of over  $1 billion.
