“We decided to create domestic air defense. We took Soviet components and put Western missiles on them, or we took Western equipment and put Soviet missiles on it. I am pleased to report that such a system was successfully deployed for the first time this evening. “We shot down Shahid nine kilometers away,” Ukrainska Pravda quoted Kamysina as saying.
He added that he was very happy that the system had already been used in combat. The Ukrainians recently admitted that they are running out of anti-aircraft missiles. Ukraine has fired numerous missiles in recent major Russian rocket and cruise missile attacks.
Kamyšin did not say what type of hybrid air defense system it was, but apparently referred to the FrankenSAM project.

“Information about work in this direction has been appearing since the summer and is really an extremely pragmatic way to solve the problem of the shortage of Soviet missiles, which are no longer available at every launch,” the Ukrainian server Defense Express commented on the project.
According to Oleksandra Ustinova, chairwoman of the Ukrainian parliamentary commission to monitor the supply of Western weapons, the Ukrainians originally wanted to modify the Buk themselves, but the Pentagon refused. “American specialists rebuilt five parts in a month, and there are 17 more on the way, which Ukraine is ready to provide for reconstruction,” Ustinova said, according to Defense Express.

“This most powerful hybrid is scheduled to be sent to Ukraine as early as this winter along with missiles and other Patriot parts from other allies,” Defense Express wrote.
