Zelenskyy: Ukraine ready to share expertise in combating UAVs, but needs anti-missile weapons
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that the country is open to exchanging experience in combating Iranian drones but requires a larger number of anti-missiles.
"We have had signals from partners in the Middle East. There were strikes by Iranian Shaheds on civilians in these countries. They want expertise from us. We are open. If their representatives come, we will provide the expertise. Especially since there is a request from Europeans and from the United States of America. We have requests that we should share experience with partners from the Middle East," he said in an interview with the Rai Italia television and radio company.
Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine is ready to exchange interceptor drones for anti-missiles.
"I said quite frankly: we have a deficit of what they have. They have missiles for Patriots, but they won’t shoot down hundreds or thousands of Shaheds with Patriot missiles—it is expensive. Nothing is too much for people, of course, but they simply do not have that many missiles. Therefore, they need interceptor drones, which we have. And we have a deficit of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles. Therefore, if we talk about the exchange of technologies, the exchange of weapons, I think our country will be open to this," the president added.
