Ukraine’s formal request from Israel for defense systems against Iran
The Ukrainian government has formally asked Israel to equip its military with defense systems against Iranian drones. This request comes at a time when Israel is under pressure from Russia, which has asked the Israeli government not to intervene in this matter. However, the Ukrainians, who have already made serious arrangements with the Israelis to counter Iran’s drone program, continue with their formal requests and understand that they should not take Israel’s hesitations and even official statements about not sending these systems seriously.
We should recall that, as we previously reported, a senior Israeli Foreign Ministry official finalized these agreements with the Ukrainians some time ago. Part of the joint program between Israel and Ukraine is a security plan to counter Iran’s drone program within a special structure to control this program at the drone production lines.
