Part 2/11:
Ukraine has begun deploying combat-tested military experts and advanced interceptor drone technology to Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and other regional partners. President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the first group of Ukrainian troops and technical advisors has arrived in the Middle East to assist local forces in enhancing their counter-drone capabilities.
These Ukrainian specialists bring with them invaluable experience gained from years defending Ukrainian cities from Iranian-designed shahad drones—used extensively by Russia in its ongoing conflict against Ukraine. This cross-regional exchange of military expertise highlights Ukraine’s deeper strategic engagement and its willingness to export its counter-drone innovations.
