Ukraine has successfully used its newly developed FrankenSAM hybrid air defense system for the first time in combat last night, shooting down a Shahed drone launched by Russia at a distance of 9 kilometers. The FrankenSAM system, a joint project between the Pentagon, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, and the Ministry of Strategic Industries of Ukraine, combines advanced Western-caliber surface-to-air missiles with refitted Soviet-era launchers or radars. Ukrainian Minister of Strategic Industries, Oleksandr Kamyshin, confirmed the successful deployment and interception of the drone. Additionally, Kamyshin announced that a Ukrainian-made drone had struck an oil depot near St. Petersburg, Russia, covering a distance of 1,250 kilometers.
