Senator Lindsey Graham visited the production facility for Ukrainian SkyFall drones
U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham visited the production facilities of the Ukrainian miltech company SkyFall, where he familiarized himself with the latest developments in the field of unmanned technologies. During the visit, he praised the quality of Ukrainian engineering solutions and emphasized the importance of cooperation between Ukraine and the U.S. in the field of defense innovation.
SkyFall representatives demonstrated to the senator the process of building the Vampire heavy strike drones, better known as “Baba Yaga,” various models of the Shrike FPV drones, as well as the P1-SUN enemy drone interceptors, designed to counter “Shahed”-type drones.
In addition to these well-known systems, the guest was introduced to new technological developments that are planned for battlefield deployment in the near future.
Special attention during the visit was given to the SkyFall Academy, where drone operators, technical specialists, and instructors are trained to work with modern unmanned systems.
The parties also discussed the prospects for a Ukrainian-American partnership in the field of defense technologies and opportunities for developing joint innovative projects.
Commenting on the results of the trip, Lindsey Graham emphasized that the U.S. should actively develop cooperation with Ukraine in the field of unmanned systems.
“I believe it would be a huge mistake for America not to cooperate with Ukraine in the field of drones. They are ready to help us because we were ready to support Ukraine during its most difficult times,” the senator said.
He also noted that the production facilities he saw made a strong impression on him.
“Today I visited a state-of-the-art facility with enormous capacity that produces technology far more advanced than anyone else on the planet. After all, necessity is the mother of all inventions,” Graham emphasized.
SkyFall is a Ukrainian defense technology company that combines a powerful research and development (R&D) center, large-scale production of unmanned systems, and the certified SkyFall Academy for training operators, instructors, and technical specialists.
The company develops and manufactures the Vampire (“Baba Yaga”) bomber drone, Shrike FPV drones, P1-SUN interceptors, modern communications systems, and other high-tech components that are actively used by the Ukrainian military.
According to the company, SkyFall’s unmanned systems have already helped Ukrainian defenders destroy enemy personnel and military equipment worth tens of billions of dollars.
This is evidenced by a statement from the miltech company.
As a reminder, Denmark may begin manufacturing Ukrainian SkyFall drones on its own territory. This means that the country is not only providing Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets and funding the production of the “Bogdan” self-propelled artillery system, but is also becoming a key partner of the Ukrainian defense industry abroad.
During the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026, held in Gdańsk, the Ukrainian defense technology company SkyFall and Poland’s Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego signed a Memorandum of Understanding.
