Before Russia invaded Ukraine, metalworker Volodymyr Sadyk specialized in making gates at his shop in western Ukraine, near the Romanian border. But in his spare time, he and his friends also built and raced dune buggies.
When the war began, Volodymyr had an idea - he offered some of the buggies to the Ukrainian army, which was looking for ways to even the playing field against a much larger enemy. The response from Kyiv was immediate: send us more.
Today, Volodymyr and his crew of 7 men have made close to 60 custom buggies for the Ukrainian army. Light, rugged, and agile, the Mad Max-style vehicles are perfect for sniffing out Russian positions, swarming Russian columns with anti-tank fire, or evacuating wounded soldiers.
In December, GZERO World had a chance to visit his workshop to check out the buggies and learn more about Volodymyr’s work.

The amount of homegrown, low-tech innovation that is coming out of this war is absolutely fascinating. Even more so, because at the same time, we are getting a glimpse at what the future of high-tech warfare is going to look like as well.

He needs to get the rights to his story. This is not merely cinema inspired tech, it's cinema worthy stuff itself.

Similar to WWI and WWII, Ukraine War is still a fighting between two big pirate countries, Russia and USA.

Luckily Asian countries are well aware of that no benefit can be achieved from the war, no matter it is China, Japan, India, Vietnam or Philippine.
