Firefighting in the Ukraine
The two Diamond special-mission aircraft with their mission team landed safely in Kiev, Ukraine. They were sent as Austrian support for the crisis due to the ongoing peat fires. Onsite a representative of the Ukrainian Ministry of Civil Protection has welcomed them.
The Ukraine is pleased of the support from Austria and very interested in all the high-tech aircraft's capabilities. The already called crisis management group is working on an operation schedule together with the Diamond Aircraft team. The missions will be flown during the weekend. After analysing the results, the Ukrainian Ministry will decide if they need the Austrian airborne support for a longer term.
