Ukraine has deployed more than 200 anti-drone warfare specialists to the Middle East to assist Gulf countries in countering rising drone threats, particularly from Iranian-designed systems. The move reflects Kyiv’s growing global role in drone defence, built from its experience in the war with Russia. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that drone warfare is rapidly evolving and could pose risks beyond current conflict zones. The deployment also signals deepening military cooperation between Ukraine and regional allies, as tensions in the Middle East escalate and concerns grow over the spread of advanced drone technology.
