Gulf states focused by Iranian drone strikes are turning to Ukraine for counter-drone experience and interceptor unmanned aerial autos (UAVs), creating what might change into the primary large-scale defence-export marketing campaign for Kyiv’s wartime drone trade.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky informed the UK Parliament on 17 March that 201 Ukrainian navy specialists are working throughout the Gulf area, with an extra 34 able to deploy. Ukrainian Safety Council Secretary Rustem Umerov subsequently confirmed that interception items are lively in 5 international locations – the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan – with protection increasing.
The deployments adopted requests from greater than 10 international locations, together with the US. Zelensky framed the trouble as a part of a broader ‘Drone Deal’ proposed to Washington, although the settlement stays unsigned.
