In July we wrote that Ukraine received British Stormer HVMs, and now there is information that they are already used at the front.
What we know
The Joint Forces Task Force page published a Facebook post showing that the AFU used the Stormer HVM surface-to-air missile system to shoot down a Russian Orlan-10 drone. One of the photos shows how the target was destroyed.
Reminder, the Stormer HVM is a military armored vehicle manufactured by the British company Alvis Vickers with a tracked chassis and a module HVM that can use Starstreak and Martlet LMM missiles for air defense. Both types of missiles have been in the Ukrainian Armed Forces since the start of the full-scale war.
