The United States has asked Ukraine for help in countering Iranian Shahed drones.

The United States has officially asked Ukraine to share its experience in intercepting Iranian Shahed attack drones.

Politico reports this.

According to the publication, Iran’s swift counterattack using cheap and easy-to-produce drones after the start of the US-Israeli military campaign demonstrated the vulnerability of the US and its regional allies.

In this regard, Washington is seeking to utilize the combat experience of the Ukrainian military in the fight against such drones.

The publication’s sources reported that Brigadier General Matt Ross, along with members of the US interagency task force tasked with developing and procuring counter-drone capabilities, visited Ukraine. During the visit, they discussed with Ukrainian military personnel the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ experience in repelling massive drone attacks.

In particular, Iranian Shahed drones were able to hit an American military base in Kuwait , killing six servicemen.

These drones also cause significant damage to civilian infrastructure in the Middle East . Therefore, some Persian Gulf countries have already approached Kyiv for advice and are considering purchasing cheaper Ukrainian-made interception systems.

As a reminder, the United States and a Middle Eastern country are negotiating with Ukraine to purchase interceptor drones to counter Iranian drone attacks.
