Summer Sunshine: Lord HardThrasher

Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer. Sunshine here serves as a metaphor, the trucks are a sunshine for our warriors to bring them to where they need to be and out from the place they don't.

This time, we focus on the 6th Detachment of HUR, 93rd Alcatraz, 3rd Assault Brigade, MLRS systems and more. 

• bring soldiers to the positions
• protect them with armor
• deploy troops with drones to the positions

The Goal for Lord HardThrasher and its Community

July 25, Update: HardThrasher community fundraiser started with a goal of getting one vehicle but since publication of the "SNK - The Me210" video, we've raised for the first one in less than a day. 

2 vans means twice the aid, can we get 2 vans to the 48th Special Tasks Unit?

• 2 passenger vans capable of 4x4.

We are sourcing all vehicles around 2010-2012 or newer, mainly Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200 (for pickups) and VW T5 or Mercedes Vito (when 4x4 vans are needed), with low mileage and fully serviced. These are some of the greatest and the most reliable pickups possible to be on the frontline in Ukraine

Who will receive the vehicles?

• 48th Special Tasks Unit operating in the Sumy region and creating "news"
