Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says that 11 countries had tapped Kyiv for help in how to counter Iranian drones being launched by Tehran across the Middle East as retaliation for US-Israeli strikes.
“As of now, there are 11 requests from countries neighboring Iran, European states and the US. There is clear interest in Ukraine’s experience in protecting lives, relevant interceptors, electronic warfare systems and training,” Zelensky says.
Ukraine touts itself as having world-class drone defense capabilities, built up through fending off nightly barrages of Iran-style attack drones launched by Russia.
