Camouflage nets for the Ukrainian Armed Forces are made at the hangar of the association Tavi Draugi!
Thanks to the enthusiasm of the like-minded people and our wonderful volunteers,and the valuable advice of our friends who are making nets elsewhere in Riga and other regions of Latvia, camouflage nets for the Ukrainian Armed Forces are at lastbeing made also in the hangar of the association Tavi Draugi!
The main function of camouflage nets is to hide equipment, ammunition, vehicles and humanitarian aid cargoes from the aggressor.
The nets are made using strips of featherweight spunbond fabric in different shades and a net base that visually resembles a fishing net but is more lightweight. The technique of making the netting is adapted in each particular case, taking into account the specific characteristics of the area for which the nets are made and the range of colours found there in nature, and avoiding creation of precise geometric shapes. The right technique and colour combination are essential, as a poorly designed camouflage net serves the opposite function: it betrays the location of the soldiers to the enemy and may even serve as a death sentence.
The finished camouflage nets will be delivered directly into the hands of the Ukrainian defenders with the help of our volunteers and cooperation partners.
The Camouflage Net Workshop can be supported both financially, by donating for the purchase of necessary materials, and by joining the workshops in Riga and the regions.
