The U.S. Defense Department, in collaboration with industry partners, has supplied Ukraine with technologies for the production of FrankenSAM hybrid air defense system components, the White House stated in a press release on Dec. 6.
Informally dubbed FrankenSAM, the U.S.-Ukrainian joint project of integrating Soviet-era SAM launchers with Western-made anti-air missiles has achieved considerable success, Mykola Sunhurovskyi, head of military research programs at Razumkov Center, told NV earlier in November.
