Ukraine’s Drones Playbook Draws 11 Requests From US and Allies
Ukraine says 11 foreign requests from the US, Middle East and Europe seek guidance on countering Iran’s Shahed drones. Zelenskyy says Kyiv can share its tactics, training, electronic warfare methods, and inexpensive interceptor drones while continuing to defend its skies. The drones’ low cost has driven emphasis on cheaper interceptors, mobile fire groups, and domestic production, with the US deploying Merops systems in the region and Kyiv hinting at potentially supplying interceptors or expertise in exchange for Patriot missiles as global interest grows in countering Shaheds.
