Zelensky meets with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar to establish long‑term defense cooperation — including joint efforts to counter Iranian drones and missiles.

“Earlier on Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy — during a previously unannounced flurry of visits to Gulf nations — said his country and the United Arab Emirates had agreed to cooperate on defence, after Iran targeted countries in the area in retaliation for US-Israeli strikes.

Ukraine also signed an air defence agreement with Saudi Arabia during Zelensky’s visit to the kingdom earlier this week.”

“Kyiv has sought to leverage its expertise in downing Russian drones to help Gulf nations and has deployed anti-drone experts to all three countries Zelenskyy has visited during his diplomatic tour.”

““Neither the US, nor Europe, nor the Middle East are prepared for drone warfare,” a Ukrainian drone unit commander told AFP recently”

By the way, Ukraine has also deployed just over 200 drone pilots to Iran on behalf of the US to intercept Irani drones.
Iran has developed their own design for an interceptor drone.
