Ukraine Reveals Secret US Harpoon Missile System Guarding the Black Sea for the First Time

Ukraine has publicly displayed its US-supplied Harpoon coastal defense missile system for the first time since receiving it in 2022. The launcher was presented during President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to the Odesa region, where Ukraine’s Navy showcased key elements of its coastal defense capabilities.

According to Ukrainian presidential materials released on July 4, the display formed part of a meeting with the Naval Forces Command focused on the security situation in southern Ukraine. The exhibition included the Harpoon system alongside other naval capabilities, although the Harpoon launcher had never before been officially shown.
