Israel has received various weapons systems from Ukraine, including Iranian-made drones used by the Russian military, for examination and research into their technology. Ambassador Michael Brodsky confirmed the transfer, stating that Israel is actively developing countermeasures, including advanced laser systems, against unmanned aerial vehicles, which he described as a major global challenge. He noted that no perfect universal solution currently exists, but the first country to develop an effective operational response will gain a significant strategic advantage adopted worldwide.
Ukrainian officials confirmed the cooperation to the newspaper "Maariv," adding that an Iranian Shahed drone was transferred to Israel early in the war. Reports from Kyiv indicate that the systems being studied in Israel include advanced versions of the "Giran" attack drone family, which are operated by Russia and are direct derivatives of original Iranian development. This exchange serves the security interests of both nations.
For Israel's defense establishment, this offers an opportunity to study new upgrades and infiltration methods employed by Russia in Iranian-origin weaponry, particularly relevant as similar technological systems are used by Iran's proxies in the Middle East. Ukraine, in turn, benefits from Israel's extensive operational and intelligence experience in confronting Iran's missile capabilities and systems.
