Zelenskyy says the US and its allies have filed 11 requests for help with fighting Shahed drones

"There is clear interest in Ukraine's experience in protecting lives, relevant interceptors, electronic warfare systems, and training. Ukraine is ready to respond positively to requests from those who help us protect the lives of Ukrainians and the independence of Ukraine."

"The Pentagon said last week that Iran has launched over 2,000 of the cheap attack drones at its neighbors and US forces in the region, after the US and Israel began a massive airstrike campaign over Iran on February 28. Ukraine, meanwhile, says it deals with hundreds of similar drones at a time, sometimes on a daily basis."

"Russia has, for years, manufactured multiple versions of the Shahed to bombard Ukrainian cities, often pairing the loitering munitions with decoy delta-wing drones. In late February, Zelenskyy said that Russia had launched 57,000 Shaheds at Ukraine since February."

After four years of war, Ukraine has emerged as a leading source of expertise in drone warfare, particularly in countering Iranian Shahed drones. President Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine received 11 requests from the US, Middle Eastern, and European countries seeking help on protecting against these weapons. Ukraine offers expertise in interceptor systems, electronic warfare, and training. The country faces constant Shahed attacks from Russia, which has launched thousands of these cheap loitering munitions. Ukraine is prepared to share its defensive knowledge with allied nations while maintaining its own air defense capabilities.
