The delegation included prominent politicians and military veterans: Congressman Don Bacon (a retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General), Jimmy Panetta (former U.S. Navy intelligence officer), and Salud Carbajal (served 8 years in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve).
During the visit, the "Achilles" Battalion presented the operational capabilities of its reconnaissance and strike drones. The unit also provided a detailed breakdown of the monthly cost to maintain such a battalion. For full technical support (excluding personnel wages, food, and clothing), the battalion requires approximately $15 million per month.
The Ukrainian side emphasized the importance of bipartisan support from the United States, highlighting that securing global peace and security is a shared goal that transcends political differences.
To recap, the "Achilles" UAV Strike Battalion is a part of the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade named after Koshovyi Otaman Ivan Sirko. The battalion gained recognition for successfully repelling large-scale Russian assaults on the Kupyansk front and destroying a significant amount of enemy equipment, demonstrating professionalism and efficiency in combat operations.
