Trial load-out. Needed to see if I can get the ventilators, detectors and oxygen concentrators all in - without using the trailer. Saves dragging a ton trailer plus its load around. Need to get me and my gear in but all good hopefully. Head out soon . 🇬🇧🐺🇺🇦

Says it all. Plainly obvious they would give up Ukraine to Putin if they could. A novice on the international political stage & the ignorant POTUS systematically destroying the US’s legacy. The US has disrespected itself for putting Trump in the Whitehouse. A disgrace to the Star Spangled Banner.

US voted on the side of Russia against UN resolution on the 3rd anniversary of the “aggressors illegal invasion of Ukraine” - as thats exactly what it was and still is, despite US not wanting to use those words. Polar opposite of what the US stood for. The world has changed at a frightening pace.

Equipment starting to accumulate. Duty on detectors paid UPS £208.00. I’d like to try and get a few more before I head back while time, so if anyone wants to chip in I’d be grateful 🙏. I’ll start function checks .. also see the colourful Senbazaru “1000 cranes” from our Japanese friends. 🙏 🇬🇧🐺🇺🇦

This is head VTS regiment (UA National Police ) EOD who was given a V3 CEIA - this was given as a freeby by my US detector guy last year ) .. this V3 was held back from the June mission last year with a friend in Ukraine until the right recipient was found to use it. 👊🔥 🇬🇧🐺🇺🇦

Clip sent to me only recently from mission last year. Got a request from a UA SSO guy who wanted a CEIA detector urgently so managed to drop him one in on Oct mission last year. Defenders getting the best gear to do their respective work. 🔥👊 🇬🇧🐺🇺🇦

So ventilators are finally on their way. Also managed to get hold of 10 brand new unused military grade oxygen concentrators- huge demand, as they give medical grade O2 in battlefield scenarios replacing dangerous cylinders. So still at it, getting equipment together for next trip. More soon . 🇬🇧🐺🇺🇦
