Ukraine’s crowdfunding campaign has put out an international call to crowd-fund to buy a fleet of Scorpion light tanks for the Ukrainian army. The Armored Turtle team launched a campaign to solicit donations to buy CVR(T) Scorpion armored reconnaissance vehicle, sometimes classed as a light tank.
Earlier in 2023, Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation’s crowdfunding campaign successfully raised more than $6,4 million to buy Scorpion FV101 CVR(T) tracked armored vehicles for the Ukrainian Army. “We have found absolutely complete tanks! This means that in addition to armor, the vehicle has a 76mm cannon and sight sensors,” the message added. “This is a light reconnaissance tank “Scorpion” which has a number of unique features! Lightweight due to unique aluminum armor. High speed of 90 km/h, low profile, a quite powerful gun.”
