In 2023, it became known that the USA was going to supply Ukraine with VAMPIRE mobile missile systems. It seems that they are already in Ukraine.

Here's What We Know

On 11 February, the Ukrainian Navy published a video of the destruction of the Iranian-Russian drone Shahed-131/136. According to @Osinttechnical, the Ukrainian Navy used the VAMPIRE system with APKWS missiles and laser guidance.

It does appear that this is the first onboard footage released showing a US-supplied VAMPIRE SAM system in Ukrainian service downing a Russian Shahed with a laser-guided APKWS missile. https://t.co/wxS2EJSFDm pic.twitter.com/VMT2vHP9Bu
