Sen. Graham Met Zelensky, Visited Ukrainian Drone Factory, Before Death

Graham said closer U.S.-Ukrainian cooperation in unmanned systems would be in America’s interest after touring the company’s drone production and training facilities.

  • On Saturday, July 11, 2026, US Senator Lindsey Graham visited a SkyFall production facility in Ukraine to examine the company's combat drone lineup.
  • Equipment on display included the Vampire heavy bomber, known by the Russian nickname "Baba Yaga," alongside Shrike FPV drones and the P1-SUN interceptor designed to counter Russian Shahed attack drones.
  • Advocating for expanded US-Ukrainian cooperation, Graham stated it would be a "huge mistake" for America not to work with Ukraine in the drone space. "Necessity is the 'mother' of all inventions," the Senator noted.
  • Beyond manufacturing, the delegation toured the SkyFall Academy, a certified training center for pilots and technicians. Representatives discussed potential areas of cooperation in defense innovation.
  • New technological solutions expected on the battlefield were showcased, furthered by SkyFall's strategic partnership with Airbus Defence and Space to develop next-generation air defense technologies.
