Ukraine is offering to share its hard-won battlefield lessons on Iranian drones with allies now confronting the same threat it has for years, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warning that no country can assume it’s fully protected from the kind of drone barrages Russia unleashes nightly.

“Everyone can now see that Ukraine’s experience in defense is, in many respects, irreplaceable,” Zelensky said in a post to X Monday urging deeper cooperation with partners.

“We are ready to share this experience and help those nations that helped Ukraine this winter and throughout this war. We are ready to work on developing Europe’s shared defensive capabilities.”

Russia has recently had setbacks. I can see Zelensky holding out for better terms. They just need to hold their lines - Russia tank loses are getting critical

Yes and no.
US uses very expensive interceptors.
Sheheen’s are super cheap, the interceptors are lot more expensive, huge overkill.
Ukraine does not have too many of those expensive interceptors so they have to developed this simple, cheaper way.
We really can learn from Ukraine!

Ukraine would know about countering drones better than anyone. They shoot down thousands of them per month now.

They probably have some good ideas on what are other critical targets in Iran, they have lots of experience with that too.

Wasn’t Venezuela attempting to manufacture Sahed drones right before Maduro was captured?
