Ukraine's Harpoon anti-ship missile launcher, which had been kept classified for three years since entering service in 2022, was inadvertently revealed by analysts who spotted it in a video from President Zelenskyy's 4 July working trip to Odesa Oblast. The video, intended to show a coordination meeting with the Ukrainian Navy Command on missile and drone threats, also disclosed the launcher configuration of the NSM (Naval Strike Missile) system for the first time. The Harpoon system has been used by Ukraine to destroy Russian ships but its launcher details had remained classified until this accidental disclosure.
