Ukraine is teaching whole world how to fight against drones and fight using drones, Netanyahu says
Drone Industry
Israel is studying Ukraine’s experience in using drones and countering them, and is investing heavily in developing new drone defence technologies. Particular attention is being paid to countering the threat from Iran.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the remarks during a meeting with media representatives ahead of the elections, Censor.NET reports, citing Ukrinform.
Netanyahu calls drones the biggest change in warfare
Responding to a question from journalist Shimon Briman about the lessons of Russia’s war against Ukraine and the threat Iranian drones pose to Israel, Netanyahu said Ukraine’s experience was being studied worldwide.
"What Ukraine has learned, and what the whole world is analysing, is both how to fight against drones and how to fight using drones. And this is the biggest change, the most significant impact of the war in Ukraine on the global stage," the prime minister said.
According to him, drones have become the principal technological change in warfare. Israel is developing countermeasures against various types of drones. Scientists, military specialists and technology companies are being involved in this work.
Israel invests in counter-drone technologies
Netanyahu said Iran’s transfer of such equipment to Russia ran counter to Israel’s interests.
He also highlighted the work of Israeli defence companies and start-ups on new solutions.
"I believe we will provide the world with solutions both in drones themselves and in defence against drones," the head of the Israeli government said.
Parliamentary elections are taking place in Israel on 27 October.
