You might wonder why is the missile called Dana. Let's explain and share the #story.
There once was a woman leading nuclear safety administration. As soon as #Russia invaded #Ukraine and attacked #nuclear power plants, people were worried about radioactive dangers from this #war.
This woman started doing simple, yet clear reports everyday stating "Situation with #radiation in Ukraine is normal" with few more words about what's going on there at this moment. With her really specific humor she always knew who is the bad guy and never was afraid of saying so. She also co-founded the #WeaponsToUkraine / #GiftForPutin initiative.
This woman - called Dana #Drábová - passed away 6th October this year and will be missed badly. Yet - thanks to her name and kindness of people from #Czechia we managed to raise such a ridiculous amount of money again to fight against oppression from Russian criminals.
In less than two days, Czechs raised 12.6 million crowns to purchase a Ukrainian-made Flamingo cruise missile. The crowdfunding drive was launched Tuesday by the group Dárek pro Putina (“A Gift for Putin”).
It is the DANA 1 rocket, for which the Czechs raised 12 million crowns (approx. €500,000) among themselves. It is named in honor of Dana Drábová, a recently passed nuclear engineer known, among other things, for her anti-Russian stance.
