Volodymyr Yatsenko, one of the founders of the Ukrainian Monobank and Dovbush T10 drone manufacturer, promised to give at least UAH 20 million (more than $50,000) to those who land a drone on Red Square in Moscow on May 9.

He stated this on the air of the telethon.
During a conversation with reporters, Yatsenko recalled that on May 9, Muscovites annually organize a military parade on Red Square.
That is, it will be as they are [влада росії] say “legitimate military targets”. Therefore, I call on everyone involved in the production of UAVs, let’s create a holiday for it, the businessman said.
Yatsenko said he was ready to pay a premium to a Ukrainian drone maker whose device, with the help of a military operator, will land on Red Square on May 9. On his Facebook, the businessman also posted a link to the collection in Monobank for those wishing to increase the amount of the premium.
I hope that this amount will be fairly divided between the manufacturer and military operators who will successfully complete the tasks, and will be directed to the improvement of the UAV. To avoid misunderstandings, there should be a Ukrainian slogan on the wings, for example, “Glory to Ukraine”, “Glory to the Heroes” and the like,” Yatsenko said, noting that the Dovbush T10 drone would fly “out of competition”.
Commenting on the report about the fall of a drone with the inscription “Glory to Ukraine” in New Moscow, the businessman said that it was “preparation for the parade”.
Since December 2022, there have been reports of drone attacks on military and strategic facilities in the deep rear of the Russian army, as well as the fall of drones in various cities of Russia. So, on February 28, unmanned aerial vehicles crashed in several regions of Russia, including in the south of the country and near Moscow. Some of them, according to media reports, were carrying explosives.
On April 6, it was reported about the fall of two homemade drones in the Moscow region. One of them was found on the territory of the Fakel defense plant in Khimki. The drone, as the media wrote, is equipped with a photo and video camera. Ukraine does not take responsibility for incidents with drones. In particular, in the office of the Ukrainian president, they said that the fall of drones in Russia were “internal attacks”.
