Ukraine drone masters eye Iran war

Ukraine's war has forced the country to become a trailblazer in drone interception. Now the conflict in the Middle East could be its make-or-break moment to take the technology global.

In an effort to export Ukrainian systems and know-how, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy crisscrossed the Gulf region this weekend to hash out deals with countries that have been targeted by waves of Iranian drone attacks.

"Ukraine is sharing expertise that ‌is not available in the Middle East," Zelenskiy told Reuters in an interview last week. "Expertise is not a drone, but a skill, a strategy, a system where a drone is one part of the defense."
