Event Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that 11 countries, including the United States and European states, have requested Ukraine's expertise in countering Iranian-designed drones. Ukraine has developed world-class drone defense capabilities by fending off nightly barrages of Shahed-139 drones launched by Russia. Ukraine is offering its drone interceptors and training in exchange for advanced air defense missiles, which are in short supply. Ukrainian drone experts are already en route to the Middle East, with some sent to Jordan to protect United States military bases. This development positions Ukraine as a significant provider of defense technology and expertise against drone threats.
