US Senator Lindsey Graham, as part of his visit to Ukraine, toured the production facility of defense company SkyFall, which manufactures various drone models. The company's press service announced this on Saturday.

Graham was shown the development and manufacturing processes of heavy bomber drones "Vampire," various modifications of FPV drones "Shrike," and "Shahed" interceptors P1-SUN. He also saw new technological solutions soon to be deployed on the battlefield and learned about the company's training project that prepares pilots, technicians, and instructors for unmanned systems.

The senator called the production one of the most advanced in the world and stated that it would be "a big mistake" for the US not to cooperate with Ukraine in the drone sector.

During his visit, Graham met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Michael McCaul. On July 10, Graham announced an agreement with the White House on a version of a bill imposing sanctions against Russia.
