United States asks Ukraine for help countering Iranian drones in the Middle East

The United States has asked Ukraine for help in countering Iranian drones in the Middle East. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country would provide assistance, which could include sharing expertise or technology developed during its own war with Russia.

The Pentagon and Gulf states are reportedly exploring the use of Ukrainian-made interceptor drones to defend against the Iranian drones. This request comes as the U.S. plans to send an anti-drone system to the Middle East that has been successfully used in Ukraine.
