The first six Stormer HVM air defense systems have arrived in Ukraine and are already being used on the front line.

Ukraine's Operational Command South said this in a Facebook post, Ukrinform reports.

"The first six Stormer HVM air defense systems have arrived at the front in Ukraine. The British 'invisible' Stormer HVM air defense systems can 'see' enemy attack aircraft at a distance of up to 18 km," the post reads.

According to the report, these systems are called "invisible" because of their ability to guide missiles at the target in semi-automatic mode.

"This makes the air defense system in the literal sense of the word 'invisible' to onboard sensors on enemy helicopters and aircraft," the report said.
