Ukraine’s £750 “Sting” interceptor drones are proposed as a low‑cost solution against Iranian Shahed attack drones, which have targeted U.S. and Gulf military bases. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is offering these drones, along with Ukrainian expertise, to allies in exchange for American Patriot missile systems, highlighting the economic advantage of using inexpensive interceptors against swarms of cheap UAVs rather than relying solely on costly Patriot missiles. The plan underscores Ukraine’s role in regional drone defence while maintaining its own defence readiness amid ongoing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East. (PC: X)
