Ukrainian military experts working in Saudi Arabia have already delivered their initial findings on strengthening air defense amid Iranian attacks on the Middle East countries, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says. According to him, the team has been in the region for more than a week and has already presented concrete results that could change the approach to protecting the skies.
The work covers both the operational level, directly countering threats, and broader approaches to organizing defense.
Hunting for weak points: Ukrainians are restructuring defense to save cities
The main task of Ukrainian experts is to identify vulnerabilities in the air defense system and propose solutions that will allow more effective protection of the population and key facilities.
A particular emphasis is placed on countering strike drones, which have become the main threat in modern warfare.
Ukrainians are sharing not theory, but real combat experience gained under continuous strikes on cities. This includes the full cycle, from target detection to its destruction.
It is precisely this practical approach that generates the greatest interest among partners seeking effective solutions right now.
Global cooperation under pressure of threats
During the meetings, the parties discussed concrete steps that can be implemented in the near future.
Some of them envision long-term cooperation and joint development of air defense systems.
Ukraine becomes security exporter
Zelenskyy emphasizes that Ukrainian air defense expertise is unique and has been developed in real combat conditions. It has already proven its effectiveness, which is why other countries are actively turning to Ukraine for this experience.
Ukraine is ready to share its developments to strengthen collective protection against new aerial threats.
