More Than 200 Ukrainian Drone Experts Deployed to Middle East to Counter Shahed Threat, Zelenskyy Says

Ukraine deployed 201 military experts experienced in countering Iranian Shahed drones to assist Gulf states and US bases amid rising regional drone attacks, Zelenskyy said.

  • President Volodymyr Zelenskyy informed the UK Parliament that 201 Ukrainian military specialists have been deployed to the Middle East, with more preparing to follow, to assist regional partners in defending against Iranian-designed Shahed drones.
  • These teams are currently active in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, and are heading to Kuwait, focusing on sharing Ukraine's extensive battlefield experience in neutralizing low-cost aerial threats.
  • During his address, Zelenskyy framed the mission as part of a broader "drone deal" and emphasized that Ukraine's cost-effective interception methods offer a sustainable alternative to the expensive missile systems currently used in the region.
