Zelensky: Ukraine can supply 1,000 interceptor drones to bolster allies against Iran
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePresident Volodymyr Zelensky says that 201 Ukrainian anti-drone military experts were in the Middle East to help defend the region against Iranian-designed Shahed drones, and another 34 are “ready to deploy.”
“These are military experts, experts who know how to help, how to defend against Shahed drones. Our teams are already in the Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and on the way to Kuwait,” Zelensky tells British lawmakers during an address in the UK parliament.
Ukraine is capable of producing around 2,000 interceptor drones per day and can supply half that amount to its allies to help bolster their defenses, Zelensky says.
