US-Ukrainian counter-drone training in Saudi Arabia

Ukrainian military specialists have arrived at the strategic Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia to train US forces on operating the Ukrainian-developed SkyMap command and control platform. The deployment of this counter-drone technology aims to bolster air defense capabilities against Iranian drone threats in the region. The system, which had not previously been used at this base, is part of a broader US effort to integrate allied technology to protect American assets. Reuters reports the training is ongoing, highlighting deepening military cooperation between the US and Ukraine beyond the European theater.
