"Various countries, including the US, have approached Ukraine for help in defending against the Iranian drones, Zelenskyy said late on Wednesday. He said he has spoken in recent days to the leaders of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait about possible cooperation. Ukrainian assistance in countering Iranian drones will be provided only if it does not weaken Ukraine's own defences, the Ukrainian president said, and if it adds leverage to Kyiv's diplomatic efforts to stop the Russian invasion."
"Ukraine has pioneered the development of cut-price drone-killing equipment that cost as little as $1,000, rewriting the air defence rulebook and making other countries take notice. Ukrainian manufacturers have developed low-cost interceptor drones specifically designed to hunt and destroy Shaheds, and its rapidly expanding drone industry is producing excess capacity."
"We help to defend from war those who help us, Ukraine, bring a just end to the war with Russia, Zelenskyy said. Later on Thursday, Zelenskyy said he had received a US request for support to defend against the drones in the Middle East and had given the order for equipment to be provided along with Ukrainian experts."
Ukraine is sharing its expertise in countering Iranian Shahed drones with the United States and Middle Eastern allies including the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait. President Zelenskyy has authorized providing equipment and Ukrainian experts to assist with drone defense, contingent on two conditions: the assistance must not weaken Ukraine's own defenses, and it must support diplomatic efforts to end Russia's invasion. Ukraine has developed cost-effective drone-killing technology, including low-cost interceptor drones priced around $1,000, and has excess manufacturing capacity. The country's rapidly expanding drone industry has pioneered affordable air defense solutions that have gained international attention. Zelenskyy emphasizes that Ukraine helps partners who support Ukrainian security and protection.
