Gulf's drone defense gets high-tech & cost-conscious help

Europe is sending top-tier interceptors to help Gulf states counter Iran's cheap $30k Shahed drones. While some missiles cost millions, experts say protecting key infrastructure justifies the price. Ukraine, with its vast drone defense experience, is also offering lower-cost solutions, like the $2,100 'Sting' drone, to partners. The conflict is sparking a global boom in short-range air defense systems. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/gulf/2026/03/06/low-cost-high-stakes-the-vital-interceptor-missiles-defending-gulf-states-against-irans-drones/

War drives innovation, sadly. At least it leads to better defenses.

Finally some practical collaboration. Ukraine knows what works against drones.
