Ukrainian experts already develop solutions to protect Qatar’s airspace, says Zelensky

Ukrainian experts have already conducted a comprehensive assessment of Qatar’s capabilities to repel air threats and have developed specific solutions to strengthen air defense.

According to Ukrinform, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this on Facebook.

The president met with a team of Ukrainian experts working in Qatar to share their experience and expertise.

“Our experts have already conducted an overall assessment of the security situation, Qatar’s capabilities to counter aerial threats, and have developed concrete solutions to strengthen the protection of its airspace. And today, during my meeting with the Amir of the State of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, it was important for me to hear such a high assessment of our team’s work and appreciation for their consultations,” the president noted.

According to Zelensky, ballistic missile and drone strikes are currently the biggest challenge in the region. While only air defense systems are effective against ballistic missiles, Ukrainian specialists have developed other, significantly cheaper solutions to combat drones. These solutions have already proven effective against various types of drones, which is why Qatar is so interested in Ukraine’s experience.

“Ukraine has always said that we are ready to share our expertise and help those who can also help us strengthen our own protection in Ukraine. Qatar is ready for long-term cooperation across various areas. It is important to restore stability in the region so that no one suffers from Iran's terrorist strikes. And we support an approach where, by helping one another, we increase security worldwide,” Zelensky emphasized.

As reported by Ukrinform, Ukraine and Qatar have signed a defense partnership agreement for at least 10 years.
