Details
The organization "Gift for Putin" raised 12.5 million Czech crowns (500,000 euros) for a missile capable of reaching Moscow or St. Petersburg, named DANA 1 in honor of Dana Drábová, the recently deceased head of the State Office for Nuclear Safety of the Czech Republic, a physicist and expert in atomic energy. However, the manufacturer announced that for the same amount, they would supply two missiles, which will be handed over to the Ukrainian army. Thus, DANA 2 will also appear.
Instead of the planned 12.5 million Czech crowns, a total of 16 million Czech crowns (657,500 euros) were raised during the collection. Therefore, the organization will give the public an opportunity to decide how to dispose of the amount exceeding the initial goal.
