U.S. to Send Anti-Drone System to Mideast after Successful Use in Ukraine
(AP-Military Times) Emma Burrows - While the U.S. has used Patriot and THAAD missile systems to take down Iranian missiles successfully, there are limited effective anti-drone defenses now in the Middle East, according to a U.S. defense official. An American anti-drone system proven to work against Russian drones in Ukraine will soon be sent to the Middle East, two U.S. officials said Friday. The Merops system flies drones against drones. It can fit in the back of a midsize pickup truck, can identify drones and close in on them.
