The Ukrainian military industrial complex has developed anti-drone technology that is much cheaper and more effective than the very expensive anti-aircraft solutions being used by the United States and its partners in the Persian Gulf to shoot down cheap Iranian drones. Now, Ukraine is hopeful it can sell anti-drone tech to the U.S. and others and get the help it needs to defeat Russia.

NATO Secretary Genereal Mark Rutte explained the situation on Newmax:

Rutte: Ukraine has gained knowledge of drone technology and anti-drone technology.

Now Ukraine's making this available to our friends and partners in the Middle East.
