The official wouldn’t be drawn on an exact date and country but noted that all targets were successfully destroyed and the potential client was delighted with the accuracy of Ukraine-made missiles.

The LUCH is a leading Ukrainian defense company that develops and manufactures missile systems for various purposes.
