VAMPIRES.

VAMPIRE not to the rescue. Iranian Shahed-136 at this exact moment in time not having to worry about shoot-down from American anti-drone weapon system.

"Drone-killing Vampires due in Ukraine next year, Pentagon says"

From www.navytimes.com the article by Joe Gould Nov 1 2022.;

"WASHINGTON ― The U.S. is aiming to send Ukraine the 'Vampire' counter-drone system by mid-2023, with a contract award expected within months, a Pentagon spokesman said Tuesday."

"The Pentagon on Aug. 24 announced it would send the system, a laser-guided-missile launcher that can quickly be installed in a civilian truck bed, as part of a larger arms package. But despite Russia’s expanded use of Iranian-made kamikaze drones to target Ukraine’s power stations and other key infrastructure, the Pentagon hasn’t yet approved a contract to deliver the system."

HEY, I thought this was a done deal. American anti-drone system already in use the Ukraine Conflict. Evidently not so. Indeed, contract not finalized and delivery of VAMPIRE tardy and going to remain so for some time.
