We are raising funds for 3 tablets for the mobile fire groups of the Air Defense Center.
Why are these tablets needed?

To quickly receive navigation data on the map, showing the current location of air threats within the mobile group’s sector.

With the tablet data, teams can take a better interception position, increasing the likelihood of destroying enemy targets.

Interesting fact: This software cannot be installed on personal devices, so dedicated “corporate” equipment is required.
Which tablets are we getting?

After coordinating with the command, we agreed on Lenovo Tab M9 4/64 LTE (ZAC50036UA) Arctic Grey + Case & Film at a discounted price of 5,740 UAH per unit from the official Lenovo representative
Goal:
17,220.00 UAH
