A Ukrainian volunteer developed the "Oko" device for tracking occupiers
According to the volunteers, the "Oko" system allows Ukrainian military to observe the movement of enemy equipment at a distance of 5-6 kilometers.
A volunteer from Kremenchuk, Oleksandr Kolotiyevskyi, along with friends, developed the "Oko" device, which allows observing the enemy and adjusting artillery fire at a distance of up to 8 kilometers.
This was reported in a "Suspilne" segment.
The "Oko" device was created at the request of the Ukrainian military. Oleksandr Kolotiyevskyi noted that at the front part of the apparatus is an ordinary telescope with 16x magnification. To this telescope, an electronic microscope with 1600x magnification is attached via an adapter made on a 3D printer.
"We see the opposite bank and can observe even small objects moving. If we increase the brightness, we can see certain equipment movements at a distance of about 5-6 kilometers, as verified by GPS," explained volunteer Live Oleh Koval.
Volunteer Oleh Koval added that one of the advantages of the "Oko" is its wired connection, which allows the device to avoid emitting radio signals and makes it resistant to enemy electronic warfare systems (EWS).
The development of the device began about a year ago. During this time, volunteers manufactured and delivered 11 such devices to the military. Lecturers and craftsmen from some educational institutions in Kremenchuk help with the production of certain parts. The cost of one such device ranges from 20,000 to 40,000 hryvnias.
"The beginning was very difficult because the equipment was large and cumbersome. But with each month, it became smaller, and the parts needed for manufacturing also decreased," noted the director of the vocational school №26, Yevhen Zharov.
