Ukraine's innovative FrankenSAM system, cobbled together from global air defense components, has proven so effective on the battlefield that the US Senate Armed Services Committee is considering it for air base defense. In this video, I break down how this Frankensteinlike air defense system was born, why it’s so effective, and how it’s changing the future of US military strategy.
From downing advanced Russian missiles to integrating AIM9 Sidewinders into an adhoc system, the FrankenSAM's success in Ukraine is undeniable. Now, the Pentagon is eyeing it for broader use, potentially transforming air base defense, expeditionary operations, and more.
Learn how Ukraine’s lessons are reshaping US defense policy—and why FrankenSAM might be the key to defending against nextgen threats.
Stay frosty, stay tuned, and as always, Glory to Ukraine!
