Jake Broe, a US Air Force veteran and popular online commentator, has announced the delivery of 16 more vehicles – dubbed “Broe Trucks” –as part of the ongoing INVICTUS fundraiser led by the 69th Sniffing Brigade charity fund.

“The next 16 Broe Trucks have been delivered to Ukraine from our INVICTUS fundraiser! Here is a behind-the-scenes video provided by Alex with the 69th Sniffing Brigade!” Broe posted on X.

Broe, a former nuclear and missile operations officer, who regularly gives exclusive interviews to Kyiv Post, has become widely known for his daily battlefield analysis, updates, and deep dives into Russia’s war on Ukraine.

In the accompanying video, Alex from the 69th Sniffing Brigade walks viewers through the new delivery.

“You can see it’s another handover, and here are your trucks arriving again. I’ll take you through a few of them,” Alex says, pointing to vehicles including an evacuation truck and an ambulance.

According to Alex, the trucks support Ukraine’s electronic warfare (EW) teams, SSO Rangers, and the Marines.

“So yeah, there’s already 116 trucks delivered,” he adds. “Your donations keep arriving. Thank you very much. And I hope this gives you a bit of a live feel. We had a pretty big air raid here last night, so everyone’s a bit tired. But we carry on.”

Russia’s Answer to Starlink Loses One of Its First Satellites

Bureau 1440, the Russian company building the “Rassvet” low-Earth orbit satellite internet service, has confirmed the loss of one of its first operational satellites, launched in March. The remaining 15 satellites from the batch are functioning normally, the company said. The project – Moscow’s domestic alternative to SpaceX’s Starlink – is slated for commercial launch by 2027.

The 69th Sniffing Brigade, a charity fund based in Estonia, specializes in refurbishing vehicles for Ukraine’s defenders, outfitting them with gear such as night vision, EW jammers, new tires, and other upgrades critical for surviving frontline conditions.

Since the full-scale invasion began, they’ve delivered more than €7 million ($7.8 million) in aid, working directly with Ukrainian units to meet their needs.

The INVICTUS campaign – named after William Ernest Henley’s poem – started life as a birthday gift for Broe in 2024 and evolved into a global effort. By early 2025, it had delivered over 100 vehicles and raised millions.

“Our joint mission is to provide a significant military boost to a selection of Ukrainian Units across the various front lines facing significant pressure from Russian forces, such as in Sumy,” campaign literature reads.

Units receiving aid so far include the Kraken air reconnaissance unit, the 36th Marine Brigade, the 6th SSO Rangers Regiment, the 47 Separate Mechanized Brigade, the 79th Air Assault Brigade, the Omega Unit, the International Legion, and the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces, among many others.

This year’s goal is: raise $1 million and expand the Broe Convoy to at least 130 vehicles, including medevac trucks, drone buses, and pickup trucks.

The campaign also plans to supply jammers, advanced drones, and other robotic systems designed to protect human lives on and off the battlefield.

“Together, with all your help from across the world, we are setting out to deliver a range of early spring support packages for the brave defenders of democracy,” the campaign states.
