The Pentagon began supplying the Armed Forces with equipment designed to intercept Iranian drones. Ukrainian Ambassador Yevhen Korniychuk, who works in Israel, announced this during a telethon speech.
The diplomat noted that the Shahed-136 is a copy of the American kamikaze drone shot down by the IRGC fighters in Syria. Surprisingly, Iranian engineers managed to copy the American ammunition quite accurately. Anti-drone systems are being developed by Israeli specialists together with colleagues from the USA. The Americans have already started supplying the Armed Forces with equipment to destroy the Shahed-136 with the consent of Israel.
The need to obtain it is explained by the fact that anti-drone systems use developments patented by Israeli companies. Ukrainian diplomats managed to convince them to transfer their technologies to the Armed Forces. Korniychuk called the delivery of anti-drone systems the biggest shift in Israel’s policy, which previously refused to provide Ukraine with any weapons in order not to spoil relations with the Kremlin.
