Ukraine has started using the FrankenSAM air defence system.

Here's What We Know

This was told by the Head of the Ministry of Strategprom Alexander Kamyshyn at a briefing in Davos. The AFU for the first time used FrankenSAM today, January 17, during the night attack of drones. According to Kamyshyn, FrankenSAM managed to shoot down an Iranian Shahed drone at a distance of 9 kilometres.

By the way, according to the minister, Ukraine has about five different FrankenSAM projects. They are all already on the battlefield. Which variant was used tonight is unknown. We can only assume that we are talking about an air defence system based on the Soviet Buk SAM with RIM-7 Sea Sparrow or AIM-9M Sidewinder missiles.
