🔹 Medical evacuations can’t be coordinated quickly
🔹 Reinforcements may arrive too late
🔹 Situational awareness breaks down, increasing risk

At the frontline, every second counts. Radios allow our soldiers to:
✅ Call for urgent medical help
✅ Coordinate attacks and defenses

In the chaos of combat, communication is everything.

Radios are the lifeline that connects soldiers, commanders, and support teams — turning individual fighters into a coordinated force.

Without reliable radios:
🔹 Orders get delayed or lost
