HomeWorldConflictsUkrainian footage from this night shows the destruction of Iranian / Russian Shahed-136 drones using US-donated VAMPIRE C-UAS systems.
The buildup of the Ukrainian SHORAD is one of the success stories of this war. From the start with the Gepards, the Stormers, to the mobile teams, the integration of older systems like the HAWKs and now the VAMPIRE. More expensive systems like NASAMS, Patriot or IRIS-T can be used for cruise missiles or similar threats.
And the success rate for interceptions is above 90% most of the time. (Tonight even 100%)
Is this cost effective? Really big boom
TIL we have fucking vampire missiles 😳
It’s an interesting system, I wish there was more footage of it in use
Ukraine is proving to be a great proving ground for US and European weapons systems.
Fucking love watching my tax dollars fuck up some Russian equipment
