Since the launch of the so-called “Epic Fury” operation by Donald Trump and Benyamin Netanyahu against Iran on February 28, drone and missile attacks against American bases in the Middle East have increased, reports Euromaidan Press. The Iranian response and that of its allies have turned these installations into permanent targets.
In response to this threat, Washington has discovered an unexpected vulnerability due to shortcomings in traditional defense systems that struggle to keep up. “There have long been gaps in the coverage of American missile defense worldwide,” says researcher Timothy Walton. Therefore, the United States has turned to Ukrainian anti-drone technology at the Prince Sultan airbase near Riyadh.
Named Sky Map and developed by a Ukrainian engineer’s company, Sky Fortress, this system has been deployed in recent weeks after a series of strikes damaged aircraft and infrastructure at the strategic base.
In parallel with this deployment, Ukrainian specialists have arrived at the base to train American units in using the device. The Sky Map platform, designed to detect aerial threats, is particularly useful against Iranian drones like Shahed, allowing the American base to better orchestrate their neutralization.
