Gulf countries are seeking help from Ukraine to counter Iran’s low-cost Shahed drones. The US and its allies have been using expensive missiles, raising costs sharply. Ukraine has developed cheaper “Sting” and “Bullet” interceptors after years of fighting similar drones. These systems cost far less and have shown high success rates. Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, “We are ready to help,” highlighting Ukraine’s experience. Deals have been signed with Gulf nations for supply and training. Experts say the move is driven by rising war costs and limited missile supplies. (PC: India Today)
