At the request of the U.S., Ukraine is sending a team of drone specialists and interceptor drones to Jordan to help protect U.S. military bases. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy stated that the request was made by Washington on Thursday, and Ukraine responded by dispatching the team the following day. This assistance comes as the U.S. and Gulf states are working to intercept Iranian missiles and drones launched in retaliation for U.S.-Israeli strikes. The use of inexpensive Iranian drones has highlighted the cost disparity compared to the expensive air defense systems used to intercept them, prompting discussion about addressing the root of the threat.
