Friends!



Friends!

I have repeatedly told you about how the State of Israel cares about the military who defends it. Government provides all the best: starting from weapons, ending with food.

Unfortunately, as everywhere in the war, Israeli soldiers got injured. On the photo below you can see Emanuel Aminof from Tel Aviv, who lost his hand 8 years ago. He was in the cabin, when the tank was hit with a shell. Now he has received a new bionic arm - the latest development of the prosthesis, which can be used with the application on the smartphone.

The cost of such a hand is 100 thousand shekels, which in hryvnia is approximately equal to 735 thousand. The Ministry of Defense of Israel finances such prosthetics for fighters. Emanuel has one as well as other 30 IDUs with similar problems.

The bionic arm is a new generation of "smart" prosthetics. It is able to perform about 40 operations and receives signals not from the shoulder movement, like the old models, but from the nervous system and muscles of the surviving part of the limb. Such a prosthetic makes it possible not only to drive a car, do cleaning or tied laces, even to shoot. The bionic arm weighs in at 472 grams, works 36 hours, is fast recharged.

It is hard to get used to a bionic hand - doctors admitted. But hours of practice with a physiotherapist will help. The next task that now faces the Israeli Defense Forces rehabilitation department is the bionic leg that will be secured to the knee.

Friends! The soldiers who put their lives at risk every day for the sake of our peace with are the people we must be thankful to the end of our days. They should receive full support. The face of the state is its attitude to the defenders. I am sure that the Ukrainian military, their life and health should be the number one priority for Ukraine.
