The Amateur Museum of Modern War continues to collect evidence of Russian aggression. Recently, three new exhibits were added to its collection. They were delivered by Yevhen Dmytrenko, deputy chairman of the Pokrovsk Youth Council and a soldier in the 21st “Kraken” Unmanned Systems Regiment of the Third Army Corps, who also recounted the story behind these finds.
In the Kharkiv sector, military personnel discovered a “Shahed” drone that had likely lost control and crashed to the ground. The drone was neutralized, and the non-weaponized unit was transferred to the museum’s exhibition.
Another exhibit is a “Gerbera” drone, which Ukrainian defenders shot down using a standard FPV drone. Both drones and the interceptor drone will be on display at the amateur museum.
Each of these items has its own story tied to the actual fight against Russian aggression. They allow visitors to see modern warfare not only through news reports but also through concrete evidence of events, technologies, and decisions on which people’s safety depends.
Oleksandr Nesterenko, chairman of the Pokrovsk Youth Council, is convinced that such exhibits are of great importance to the younger generation:
“We want young people not only to know about the war, but to understand that behind every news story from the front lines are real people, their work, their courage, and the risks they take. These exhibits show how war is changing and how Ukrainian soldiers are finding ways to stand up to the enemy. They also serve as a reminder of the price paid for our freedom and why it is important to preserve the memory of this struggle.”
The Amateur Museum of Modern War offers an opportunity to preserve for future generations the truth about Russian aggression, the experiences of Ukrainian defenders, and the struggle on which Ukraine’s future depends.
