Ukraine's Ambassador to Israel revealed that his country has transferred advanced Russian jet-powered drones to Israel. This move is intended to allow Israel's defense establishment to study the drones' capabilities and prepare for potential threats. The transfer comes amid concerns that Iran may acquire these new Russian drones and use them to attack Israel.
These drones represent a more advanced generation than the Iranian Shahed drones, capable of significantly higher speeds. This increased velocity could challenge air defense systems, reducing response times for interception. Iran is reportedly interested in purchasing these advanced drones from Russia as part of their growing security cooperation.
Ukraine, which has itself faced Russian drone attacks, has gained experience in identifying and countering this threat. By providing Israel with these captured Russian drones, Ukraine aims to enable Israeli security forces to examine the technology, understand flight characteristics and navigation systems, and develop appropriate defense and interception measures. The goal is to equip Israel to recognize the capabilities of these new drones and prepare for the threat proactively, before Iran can deploy them against the country.
