Ukraine has confirmed that Rheinmetall's Skyranger 35 air-defense system is already in combat, mounted on a refurbished Leopard 1 chassis and destroying aerial targets, and the footage suggests Ukrainian crews have secretly been testing it since as early as March, months before Germany, Austria, Romania, and other European buyers even confirmed their own orders.
