US Turns To Ukraine For Help Against Iran's Shahed Drones

In a striking twist in the ongoing Iran–Israel War, the United States is reportedly turning to Ukraine for expertise in countering Shahed drones used by Iran.

After years of facing these low-cost drone swarms during the Russia–Ukraine War, Ukrainian forces developed innovative counter-drone strategies — from mobile jamming units to interceptor drones and layered air defences. Now, those lessons are gaining attention as Iranian drone attacks challenge even advanced Western air defence systems.
