Zelenskyy: Ukraine provided US with drone interceptors for Middle East
Drone Industry
Ukraine has provided the United States with drone interceptor technologies to enhance security in the Middle East.
As reported by Censor.NET, this was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with CNN.
According to Zelenskyy, the war in the Middle East is predominantly aerial in nature, and effective air defense systems are crucial for protection. "That is why they need drone interceptors. This is our new technological know-how," Zelenskyy said.
The US and drone interception technologies
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said that the United States does not need help from Ukraine in intercepting Iranian drones. Earlier this month, Zelenskyy offered the United States and its allies support in this area, but Trump stressed: "We don’t need help. Zelenskyy is the last person we need help from."
At the same time, the US president refrained from commenting on whether the American military had accepted Ukraine’s assistance in drone interception technologies.
Need for protection and cooperation
Zelenskyy stressed that Middle Eastern countries and American bases in the region need to be better protected. Ukraine is ready to share its developments and expertise to increase the level of security in the region.
"The United States is, of course, using its aviation, but to close the sky, we provided what we had. I mean substantial expertise. They have many other effective means in their arsenal, but they do not have this. "And countries in the Middle East turned to us specifically for this," the president added.
