The buildup of the Ukrainian SHORAD is one of the success stories of this war. From the start with the Gepards, the Stormers, to the mobile teams, the integration of older systems like the HAWKs and now the VAMPIRE. More expensive systems like NASAMS, Patriot or IRIS-T can be used for cruise missiles or similar threats.
And the success rate for interceptions is above 90% most of the time. (Tonight even 100%)
