A video has been posted online showing the combat work of the Ukrainian unit of the US "Vampire" SAM.

According to Censor.NET, the recording shows Ukrainian soldiers shooting down a Russian Kh-59 cruise missile over the Black Sea.

"The Ukrainian military shoots down a Russian Kh-59 cruise missile over the Black Sea with fire from a 'Vampire' SAM installed on board a boat," the commentary to the publication reads.
