Last night over Odesa, a Ukrainian L3Harris VAMPIRE SAM system successfully shot down a Russian Shahed attack drone using a laser-guided APKWS rocket.
This is the first footage in months showing a Vampire intercept, confirming that U.S. deliveries of APKWS rockets to Ukraine have resumed.
The Vampire plays a crucial role in Ukraine’s defense, enabling forces to destroy Russian attack drones with a far more cost-effective interceptor.
