Ukrainian Systems to Protect American Airbase
The United States Armed Forces have integrated Ukrainian technological solutions into the defensive systems of the "King Sultan" airbase located in Saudi Arabia. According to Reuters, this involves the Sky Map control platform, which is used to detect and coordinate operations for neutralizing unmanned aerial vehicles.
This strategic object has been targeted multiple times in the past by Iranian-made drones and missiles, prompting the American side to diversify its defensive measures. Ukrainian specialists are already involved in the training process for American soldiers, teaching them the intricacies of operating the system and its application in combat conditions.
Alongside the Sky Map platform, anti-aircraft and other control systems developed by American companies continue to operate at the airbase. The introduction of Ukrainian technology is seen as an additional tool that allows for a more rapid response to aerial threats and coordinates the operation of various types of weaponry within a single unified network.
This collaboration is noteworthy as Ukrainian military developments, which have been tested in active combat operations, are now beginning to be employed for the security of critical American bases located in the Middle East.
