The fifth commandment of the Decalogue of a Ukrainian nationalist reads as follows: to avenge the death of the great knights.
“Birds of Hell: 100 Drones of Revenge” is precisely about this fifth commandment. For each and every one of our heroes.
The second photo shows the drone “Orel (Eagle)”. It will be delivered to the 109th brigade as a part of the project to take revenge for Orel – soldier Volodymyr Orlov from Pustomyty, who will forever be 33…
Pavlyna, Volodymyr’s wife, is a good friend of our foundation. She is a volunteer and a philanthropist. Together with her brother, they quietly do a lot to support the Defense Forces of Ukraine. Because the death of the great knights must be avenged. And we need to act so that there are as few deaths as possible…

According to victims.memorial, the soldier Volodymyr Orlov, callsign name Orel (Eagle), died on October 20th, 2022 while on duty in the area of the village of Torske, Donetsk region. The fighter will always remain 33 years old.
Volodymyr was born in the city of Pustomyty, Lviv region. In 1995, he began studying at the secondary school No. 2, from which he graduated in 2006. Then he studied at the Faculty of History of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. From October 2011 to July 2012, he served at the 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
After completing his service, he worked as a sales consultant at the “Souvenirnyi Kram” chain of stores. Later on, he obtained a profession of a computer systems engineer. Volodymyr got married in 2014 and the family raised a son. In 2018, he started working as a specialist in computer networks and technologies at the company “GlobalLogic”.
In March 2022, Volodymyr announced his decision to join the territorial defense forces.
“Volodya grew up with a great love for God and for Ukraine. When the war broke out, he couldn’t stand aside. He had everything – a happy family, a very good job,” his mother Svitlana Orlova said.
Volodymyr served at the 125th separate territorial defense brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a grenade launcher at the grenade launcher department, and obtained the skills of a combat medic. Volodya’s wife, his relatives, friends and colleagues actively collected things for him and his unit.
“Volodya was actively involved in the life of his military unit. He managed to supply it with the necessary car and a night vision device. He even helped me, even though I was from a completely different battalion of the brigade, by giving me tactical gloves, binoculars, a bulletproof vest and many other useful things. And he gave me all this without asking, on his own initiative,” Taras Kovalevich, a former fellow student and a military man, shared.
Volodymyr was a wonderful husband and a father, he spent a lot of time with his son and was very involved in child’s upbringing and ggrowth.
“There was a culture of reading in our small family. The three of us would often read, snuggled up in bed before going to bed. Instead of TV, we had bookshelves… He also had a superpower: anything he planted would always sprout,” says Pavlyna, his wife.
She hoped that after returning from the war, Volodymyr would start his own business in the field of farming. In memory of her deceased husband, Pavlyna wrote and published a memoir “The Eagle Island”. All funds received from the sale of the memoir were directed to the volunteer projects to meet military needs.
Volodymyr Orlov was posthumously awarded the Order “For Courage” III degree.
The defender was buried in his hometown.
Volodymyr is survived by his wife, his son, parents and a brother.
Eternal memory to the hero!
Eternal hell to the occupiers!
