What Decides the Battle

What Your Support Becomes

Drone Systems

Reconnaissance, situational awareness, and countermeasures. Drones and complete drone systems account for 70 to 80 percent of all support delivered. Over 12,000 systems have been delivered and the need remains substantial. The Vampire, DJI Mavic 3T, and fibre-guided Ptashka are representative examples.

Vehicles

Transport, evacuation, and logistics. Trucks, pick-up trucks, armoured ambulances, and passenger vehicles form a central part of on-site support. The Toyota Hilux and Nissan Navara are among the most widely deployed platforms.

Optics

Night vision equipment and thermal technology. Binoculars, thermal sights, and optical systems for observation and reconnaissance under adverse conditions. Pulsar, Infiray, and PVS-31 are representative examples.

Communications

Radio and communications systems. Starlink terminals and robust communications even under jamming and in exposed environments. The Motorola DP4801E is a recurring system in deliveries.

Protection

Personal protective equipment and emergency materiel. Helmets, body armour, and individual medical supplies determine who returns home and who does not.

Medical

Trauma care and acute medical treatment. Emergency surgery and other life-saving care at the zero line and in clinics in liberated and recaptured areas.

Blue/Yellow does not procure or supply weapons or ammunition. All support is defensive in nature, fully traceable, and signed off by the receiving unit.

What We Do

Direct support to those defending Europe

The Drone War is Decisive

Between 70 and 80 percent of what we deliver consists of drones, countermeasures, and electronic systems. The majority are airborne, but the numbers are growing.

Electronic warfare disrupts navigation and severs the radio link between operator and drone. A model that functions one week may be rendered unusable the next. Continuous adaptation is a prerequisite for sustained effectiveness.

About Us

Trust is earned one delivery at a time

The war against Ukraine did not begin in 2022. It began in 2014 with Russia's annexation of Crimea and the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Blue/Yellow stood alongside those who defended the country then and continues to do so today. Support has continued through every phase of the war and will continue all the way to victory.

2014

Founded in Vilnius by the Swede Jonas Öhman, in the same winter that Crimea is annexed and the war in Donbas begins.

The spark in Vilnius

When the smoke settled over Crimea and the first shots fell in Donbas, it was clear that Europe had changed irrevocably. That same winter, Jonas Öhman and Paulius Kijauskas understood that traditional diplomacy and large-scale aid bureaucracy would be too slow for the reality facing soldiers in the trenches. The answer was to found Blue/Yellow in Vilnius — not as a passive fundraising foundation, but as a swift and precise tactical logistics operation.

The conflict rapidly faded from media attention. In the years leading up to the full-scale invasion, the question of Ukraine was relegated to the outermost periphery of international attention. The forgotten trench war in the east continued in silence. Political leaders turned away, and international aid organisations kept their distance due to the political sensitivity of the conflict. In the midst of this global indifference, Blue/Yellow refused to look away.

In the beginning there were no significant resources or official allocations. The co-founders and other key individuals drew on what they already owned. They committed everything to the cause.

Ukrainian defenders witnessed Blue/Yellow risking everything at a time when the rest of the world had forgotten them. From these early defining journeys grew the mutual relationship that endures to this day. As deliveries reached their destinations, donations began to grow. It was here, in the midst of the forgotten war in eastern Ukraine, that the foundation was laid for the network and transparent delivery model that defines the entire organisation today.

2022

The full-scale invasion. Eight years of experience are deployed at full scale from day one.

The trial by fire and the scale-up

When the full-scale invasion commenced on 24 February 2022, the world awakened to a new reality. For Blue/Yellow, this was not a new situation, but the culmination of eight years of uninterrupted work. While other organisations desperately sought a way in, Blue/Yellow had already spent eight years in muddy trenches under artillery fire — eight years of near-total media silence about the conflict.

When the sudden surge of support for Ukraine gathered momentum across the world, Blue/Yellow became the natural choice for donors. The organisation had already spent eight years building exactly what was needed.

The war rapidly became a high-technology battlefield in which success depended on seeing first, understanding first, and responding fastest. During this critical early phase, the long-range Bayraktar TB2 drone became a global symbol of Ukrainian resistance. Blue/Yellow stepped into the international fundraising movement and organised a substantial campaign to finance the system. Direct dialogue enabled contact with the manufacturer, Baykar.

Following the successful collaboration, the manufacturer took the unusual step of donating the systems rather than weeks.

2025

Blue/Yellow Sweden is established at the end of the year, with initial operations outside Lithuania.

The Swedish expansion

After years of intensive support directly from Lithuania, the organisation reached a new milestone at the end of 2025. To meet the growing long-term need and secure even greater resilience, Blue/Yellow Sweden was established — the first official branch outside Lithuania's borders. The move to Sweden was deeply strategic, aimed at creating a bridge between the Swedish people's desire to contribute and the unique knowledge of the frontline's immediate requirements.

The organisation rapidly outgrew its original framework. The demands of absolute transparency and professional logistics required a stable and permanent operational base.

Sweden thereby becomes a new central node in the support network. The establishment represents a commitment to the future. We have stood alongside Ukraine's defenders from the very beginning and will continue to do so with full commitment all the way to victory. This is a new chapter in Blue/Yellow's history — and it continues to be written.

Blue/Yellow's first drone, a Phantom 3, Kharkiv 2015
Story

It all began with a drone

Kharkiv, January 2015. In a cold room near the front line, a small box changes hands. Inside is a Phantom 3, a simple camera drone. Blue/Yellow hands over its very first drone to a volunteer unit in the city. No fanfare, no cameras. Just a tool meant to save lives by seeing first.

For a unit commander, it changes everything. Suddenly there are eyes in the sky. An ambush can be spotted before soldiers move into an area. A safer route can be found in the dark. Minutes are gained, and minutes are life.

Behind the handover lay months of work already. Blue/Yellow had been founded in Vilnius the year before by Swede Jonas Öhman together with Jūratė Sližytė and Paulius Kijauskas. The early years were chaotic. Requests poured in from every direction, and the hard part was knowing who could be trusted. Step by step, a network of reliable people took shape. Equipment was packed into ordinary cars and driven the long roads east, all the way to those who needed it.

That first drone became a beginning. What started with a single Phantom has grown into more than 12,000 drones. Reconnaissance platforms, heavy transport drones, and systems that protect against hostile technology. The same idea still carries it all: see first, act fastest, bring people home alive.

Twelve years later, the work continues every day. From a box in Kharkiv to one of Western Europe's largest support movements for Ukraine. The road has been long, and it continues all the way to victory.

Results & Impact

No promises. Just delivery.

The figures below represent Blue/Yellow's cumulative support delivered between 2022 and 2025. Reporting is continuously updated throughout 2026. All equipment is procured near the front line, delivered directly to the units in need, and signed for on-site.

Drones & Unmanned Systems34,445 systems
Drone accessories & spare parts21,339
Reconnaissance drones11,563
Anti-drone systems & countermeasures881
FPV drones627
Signal & range boosters35

Drone capability relies on a coherent ecosystem of aerial platforms, sensors, signal infrastructure, and protection against electronic threats. Reconnaissance drones serve as the unit's eyes in the sky: lightweight platforms like the DJI Mavic 3T provide thermal night vision, while heavier assets like the Bayraktar TB2 deliver broad situational awareness across vast distances. Frontline workhorses such as Shmotka, Khortytsia, and Kazhan operate alongside fixed-wing platforms like Shark, Leleka-100, and Fury to monitor deep behind enemy lines.

FPV drones are agile, cost-effective, and rapidly deployed in high numbers, piloted via real-time video goggles directly at the zero line. Protection against enemy drones is established through handheld systems like the EDM4S SkyWiper, as well as vehicle-mounted solutions including Piranha AVD 360 and Bukovel-AD.

How drone systems operate in the field

Reconnaissance & Situational Awareness: DJI Mavic 3 and Mavic 3T platforms provide real-time thermal surveillance, detecting movement, personnel, and vehicles in total darkness and complex terrain.

Airborne Logistics: Vampire platforms transport vital medicine, communication equipment, and critical spare parts to positions where ground transport is either cut off or too hazardous.

Strategic Monitoring: Bayraktar TB2 platforms provide long-range observation, early warning, and broad theater-level situational awareness.

Power & Field Operations: Backup batteries, field charging stations, and dedicated operator gear ensure continuous operation independent of the civil grid.

Electronic Warfare & Countermeasures: Handheld disruptors (EDM4S SkyWiper) and vehicle-mounted jamming systems sever hostile control links to protect personnel and infrastructure.

Integrated Operational Ecosystem: Modern drone capabilities function as an interdependent network of sensors, communications, energy, and countermeasures where operational value is delivered as a complete system.

ATVs / Quads4
Semi-trailer trucks (tractor units)2

Operational success depends on the ability to keep personnel, supplies, and equipment moving — and to rapidly evacuate the wounded. Pickups like the Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi L200, and Ford Ranger handle last-mile logistics across rough terrain, while reinforced 4x4s like the Toyota Land Cruiser and Nissan Patrol provide safer transport through high-risk sectors. Ambulances bridge the gap to higher echelons of medical care, and ATVs access areas where standard vehicles cannot pass.

Bicycles have proven to be exceptionally effective near the front line. Silent, cost-free to operate, and simple to maintain, they provide a reliable alternative for the most exposed final stretch where engine noise compromises positions and fuel supplies are uncertain.

Between January 1 and May 31, 2026, Blue/Yellow delivered an additional 136 UGVs (Unmanned Ground Vehicles) while testing Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) for resupply and evacuation missions where crewed boats face severe risk.

Modern protective gear is designed to ensure soldiers can sustain operations over prolonged periods in severe environments. Modular plate carriers with MOLLE attachments are fitted with ballistic plates rated to NIJ Level IV or Ukrainian DSTU Level 6, stopping high-caliber rounds and shrapnel. FAST and High-Cut helmets serve as mounting platforms for night vision optics and tactical communications.

Durable boots withstand extreme cold, moisture, and heavy marches, while uniforms balance mobility with weather resistance. Gear configurations are optimized for emergency medical extraction, allowing rapid removal to administer life-saving care.

Operational protection framework

Ballistic Protection: Vests, plate carriers, and ballistic inserts mitigate fragmentation and penetration injuries; tactical helmets protect against blunt trauma and fragments while mounting vital mission accessories.

Sustained Endurance: High-grade uniforms, footwear, and load-bearing systems allow extended operations across fluctuating climates and harsh terrain.

Environmental & Auditory Defense: Active hearing protection and CBRN gas masks defend against explosive noise levels and hazardous atmospheres.

Thermal observation systems (such as Pulsar Helion, Pulsar Axion, and ATN Mars) detect heat signatures through darkness, fog, and smoke, while PVS-14 night-vision goggles enable movement and combat casualty care in pitch-black conditions. Motorola MOTOTRBO radios maintain AES-256 encrypted tactical communication across units.

Fiber-optic connections provide critical resilience against heavy electronic jamming and interception, serving as secure command lines for drone operations and signals intelligence. When terrestrial infrastructure fails, Starlink V2 and Starlink Mini terminals restore vital satellite connectivity for command, triage coordination, and unit sync.

Tactical information systems in the field

Electro-Optical Systems: Thermal sights, night vision, and laser rangefinders enable rapid target identification in degraded visual environments.

Radio Infrastructure: Encrypted handheld and vehicle-mounted base stations secure internal tactical communications.

Satellite Networks: Decentralized satellite data uplinks ensure resilient operational command independent of terrestrial networks.

Tactical Computing: Rugged laptops, tablets, and field devices power mission planning, mapping, and real-time coordination.

On the battlefield, minutes determine survival. C-A-T Gen 7 tourniquets stop catastrophic hemorrhaging in accordance with TCCC protocols, while QuikClot Combat Gauze is deployed for wound packing. SAM Chest Seals and HyFin Vent dressings seal penetrating chest injuries to prevent tension pneumothorax.

IFAKs are secured directly to body armor for immediate self- or buddy-aid, while foldable and rigid tactical stretchers allow casualty evacuation over difficult terrain. Through these deliveries, over 3,600 individuals have received direct field medical care, including approximately 2,000 civilians in liberated areas cut off from healthcare infrastructure.

The medical chain of survival

Hemorrhage Control: Tourniquets, hemostatic gauze, and compression dressings deployed at the point of injury.

Field Evacuation: Tactical stretchers and specialized trauma packs for rapid stabilization during transit.

Advanced Field Care: Defibrillators, ECG units, and fluid/blood warmers supporting stabilization points close to the zero line.
