Ukraine has dispatched more than 200 specialists in counter-Shahed drone defense to the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, and Ukrainian President Zelensky noted that they have already delivered concrete results by providing both expertise and operational support, successfully starting to intercept Shahed drones in the area, limiting Iran’s advantage in using cheap drones to overload local air defenses.

Once deployed, Ukrainian specialists were shocked by how air defense operations are conducted in many units.

The interesting active map linked at this comment spends 6+ minutes describing and showing the kinds of issues Ukraine drone operators found with the ME purchasers of their drones, and also how they helped their customers deal with them and also introduce money savings equal or better drone skills and uses.

One serious difference was the customer’s troops tendency to run away from Iran’s attacks rather than sticking to the job of trying to destroy Iran’s weapons before they hit. Also Ukraine had been getting bad publicity on their drone systems, based on inadequate skill exercised by the new owners. Arrival of Ukraine teachers has improved success.
