MAD HAWKS
UAV Company · «Mad Hawks» Battalion · 37th Marine Brigade
Holding the line and the spirit
Our drones see what no one on the ground can see, and reach where infantry cannot go. Our ground robotic vehicles carry ammunition in and wounded soldiers out — from places no vehicle with a driver could survive.
Who we are
The company that fights with the brigade's eyes
We are the UAV company of the unmanned systems battalion «Mad Hawks», part of the 37th Separate Marine Brigade of Ukraine. The brigade was formed in 2023 and has fought at Velyka Novosilka, on the left bank of the Dnipro river, and in the defence of Donetsk region. In May 2025 it received the state distinction «For Courage and Bravery».
We spot enemy positions, vehicles and movement before they have time to deploy.
Precise engagement of targets where artillery cannot reach — or cannot afford to miss.
Heavy multirotor drops on shelters and vehicles, working through the night.
Unmanned ground platforms carry supplies in and casualties out. One of our crews evacuated three wounded soldiers on a single 13-hour run.
Accountability
Where every hryvnia goes
We close every fundraiser publicly on Instagram: what we bought, what it cost, and how it works in the field. We thank by name everyone who allows us to name them.
Coffee drips for a donation
Drip. Donate. Enjoy.
Donate 150 UAH to the company and get a coffee drip bag in return. We share what we love, you support us with what we need. It's a fair trade.
To collect your drips, write to us on Instagram Direct. Pickup points in Odesa are listed in the highlights on our page. If you are abroad, the donation still works — the coffee simply waits for you here.

Questions
The short answers
Where does the money actually go?
Batteries, antennas, signal repeaters and vehicle repairs. These are not one-off purchases — they are what gets consumed every day. We publish every closed fundraiser on Instagram with the list of what was bought.
I'm donating from abroad. What are my options?
PayPal is being set up — the details will appear here as soon as it works. MOCKUP: replace with the live address For now the simplest route is a card transfer to 4874 1000 2602 2205, or write to us on Instagram Direct and we'll sort it out.
Can I help with something other than money?
ЗАПОВНИТИ — list what you accept: components, equipment, tools, services. And where to send or bring it.
Do I need experience to join?
No. Most of our pilots came from civilian jobs. The ability to learn and to keep a cool head matters far more than prior experience.
What about pay and benefits?
Pay and benefits are set by Ukrainian law and depend on the role, rank and conditions of service. Ask our recruiter for current figures — we don't publish numbers that can go out of date.
